Taichi	I'm hooome!
Banri	Welcome back.
Kazunari	Welcome home, Taicchan~!
Taichi	Huh, you guys are watching a drama? At this hour?
Kazunari	They're running a rebroadcast of Tenten's drama! We happened to catch it when we turned the TV on.
Banri	We watched the original broadcast together with ya, too, didn't we?
Taichi	Oh yeah, we did, we did! Man, it wasn't that long ago, but I already feel nostalgic about it.
	That reminds me. Didn't the four of us go to the amusement park because of this show?
Kazunari	Yeah! We were literally just talking about it!
Banri	Pretty sure it was Taichi who saw the drama and suddenly said we should take a trip to the amusement park, right?
Taichi	Oh yeah, now that you mention it!
	I pitched the idea on a whim, but then we ended up going to it for real! And it was soooo fun~
	—— —— —— —— FLASHBACK —— —— —— ——
Banri	Yeaaah, something's just off ‘bout today. Nothing's been clickin’ at all.
Taichi	Mm… We've been through how many stores now? Yet none of us has picked and bought anything yet.
Kazunari	Going around like this makes you want to find something good, but I just can't seem to find anything in the end~
Tenma	You were hoping to buy something too, Kazunari? I thought you and Taichi were just coming along with me and Banri-san's shopping trip.
Taichi	Well… Can't exactly deny that…!
Kazunari	Yeah, but isn't it more fun this way? The more, the merrier!
Banri	Guess so. Though now that we've gone through the stores that we pretty much wanted to see, I doubt we're gonna find any good stuff today.
Tenma	I suppose you're right. If we're giving up on clothes shopping, what should we do for the rest of the day?
Kazunari	We gotta do something fun!
Taichi	Ah!
Kazunari	You have a place in mind, Taicchan?
Taichi	Ahh… Well. I do, but it's not really something we can go to right away, I think…
Banri	C'mon, what is it? May as well say it first since you've got an idea.
Taichi	… So you know that drama Ten-chan was in— the one that was airing a while back? I've been wanting to go to the amusement park ever since I watched it, so…
Kazunari	An amusement park! That does sound really fun! What an awesome idea!
Tenma	That park isn't that far from here. If we go now, we’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the attractions.
Taichi	…Wait, you mean...!?
Banri	First things first, let's check the train sched's.
Taichi	H-Hang on just a minute! Are we really going? Like, right now!?
Banri	What're ya talking 'bout? You said you wanted to go, so we're going, 'course.
Tenma	Exactly. Since it's been decided, we're heading there immediately.
Taichi	For real…?
Kazunari	For real realsies! Now let's go go go!
Taichi	Yahooooo!!! I'm so excited!!

Kazunari	We're finally here~!
Tenma	Now then, what should we ride first?
Taichi	Wait a second! Before anything else, we absolutely cannot miss out on those animal hats!
Banri	Animal hats…?
Kazunari	Oh! I see a wagon there! What animal hat should I pick, I wonder~
Tenma	I'll wait for you guys here while you guys go and pick one.
Kazunari	Now, now Tenten… Everyone is going to wear one!
Tenma	Everyone? Uhh, I don't really need to wear one though…
Banri	I'm gonna take a pass on that, too.
Taichi	No can do! There's no point if we don't all wear one!
Tenma	Goddammit… Fine, if you insist.
Banri	Let's just hurry and pick one, then. This one with the dog ears fits Taichi to a T, dontcha think?
Taichi	Ohh! I was just thinking of going with a dog hat! Lemme take a look at it…
Taichi	Hehe, how does it look!?
Kazunari	Oooh! It suits you so much, Taicchan!
Tenma	It feels like it was made just for you.
Kazunari	Hey hey, since we've got a whole bunch of animals to select from, wouldn't it be better to go with different hats for each of us?
	Settsuar, Tenten, which ones are you guys gonna go with?
Tenma	Even if you ask me…
Banri	Anything's fine. You two should just choose for us.
Taichi	Leave it to us then! Since they've got a hat with cat ears too, we should go with that one.
	And if it's a cat, it'd probably suit Ban-chan! Here, try it out!
Banri	Gotcha, gotcha… How's this?
Taichi	Yep! Suits you just right!
Banri	Alright then.
Kazunari	Okay, so, Settsuar. This means you have to end your sentences in "meow~" from now on!
Banri	I am not doing that!
Taichi	Next up is Ten-chan, yeah?
Kazunari	Ah, how about this bear hat? Looks pretty cool, don't you think?
Tenma	Well, it's not too flashy, so I guess I can go with that.
Tenma	Well?
Kazunari	Mh-hmm! It's as cool as I imagined it'd be on you! Bear hat it is, then~!
Taichi	Ten-chan, a bear cries like this: "Beaaaar~!"
Tenma	Don't start with that!
Kazunari	I think I'll go for the bunny one myself! I thought it soooo cute the moment I laid my eyes on it~
Kazunari	Like, aren't these long ears just so cute? What do y'all think?
Taichi	Suuuper cute, Kazu-kun~!
Kazunari	Alright! I'll keep them then!
Clerk	Four pieces of animal hats, yes? Thank you very much for your purchase!
Taichi	OKAY! Now we can head out for the attractions! Let's goooo!
Taichi	Man, did you feel the speed in that ride! That was so fun~!
Tenma	It was pretty exciting, yeah. Where should we go next? Do you wanna go for something close to here?
Kazunari	Hmm… The closest one is a haunted house, so…
Banri	Is it that building over there? Seems like a popular spot, by the looks of that line. Problem is……
Kazunari	Ten-ten, will you be fine with scary stuff?
Banri	Taichi ain't exactly good with that sort of thing either.
Taichi	I-If everyone's going, I can handle it!
Tenma	Y-Yeah. I'll be fine with it.
Banri	No backsies? In that case, let's get going.
Kazunari	But if guys can't handle it, just say so, OK?
Announcer	Well then, please go find the little girl who's waiting for you at the deepest part of this mansion….. Take care now……..
Taichi	B-Being at the front is too much! Ban-chan, you go first~!!
Banri	No choice, I guess.
Kazunari	I'll be over here so I can protect Ten-ten from the back of the pack, alright? ♪
Tenma	H-Haa? I didn’t ask to be protected!
	*THUMP*
Taichi	UWAAAAH!!!
Kazunari	What is it!?
Taichi	T-There was some kind of noise coming from over there—!!
Banri	It's a haunted house. 'Course they're gonna be makin' all kinds of noises in——
Tenma	GYAAAAAAAAHH!!!
Banri	SO LOUD! What is it this time!?
Tenma	T-There's a blue light… Over there…!!
Kazunari	Ten-ten! Calm down, that's the emergency exit's light!
Banri	Nothing's even happened and you guys are already making this much of a racket. Geez…
Kazunari	Ahaha, they might be the ones scaring away the ghosts instead !

Tenma	GYAAAAAAAAHH!!!
Kazunari	Relaaaax, Ten-ten~! That's just a decoration!
	*GLASS BREAKS*
Taichi	WAAAAAAHH!! I can't!! I can't do this anymore…!
Banri	We've probably only got a lil' more to walk through. Just suck it up.
Taichi	Ban-chan, you're so evil!
Banri	I can give up the front lead if you'd like?
Taichi	NO PLEASE!!! I'M SORRY!!!
Kazunari	——Ah! I think I saw a girl's silhouette just now! Could it be the little girl they mentioned at the start? Heeeeey!
Little Girl	… I've been so lonely, so I wanted to play some pranks on everyone. Thank you for showing me your scared faces, misters.
Banri	I see. So this little girl was hoping to have some fun by playing a bunch of tricks on people, is it?
Kazunari	You hear that? Taicchan! Ten-ten! No more scary things!
Tenma	Y-You sure…?
Taichi	Nothing else is gonna show up…?
Little Girl	Yeah. Those two misters there were especially loud— it made it so much more fun!
	Everyone else in this residence had a lot of fun too.
Banri	Haha, looks like you two were quite the entertainment for them.
Tenma	I wasn't terrified at all!!
Taichi	To think I got that scared by a little girl's tricks… I'm so embarrassed……..
Tenma	It's… finally….. over…….
	*DROPS*
Taichi	EH!? Ten-chan, you good!?
Tenma	Yeah… I'm fine. My legs just suddenly gave in——
Kazunari	Hold on, doesn't it look like he can't stand up at all!?
Banri	… Did your back actually give out, Tenma?
Taichi	Really!?
Tenma	Of course… not… Guh——!!
Kazunari	This isn't the time to act tough! Let's take a break, okay?
Banri	But man, to think Tenma was that by the scares.
Tenma	I was surprised only a little bit!
Taichi	I feel you, though, Ten-chan! I was super terrified by that place, too!
Amusement Park Guest	Uhm… Excuse me, but could you take this picture for us? I was hoping to get the whole family in…
Taichi	No problem! With this as the backdrop, right?
	Alrighty, ready… Aaaaand cheese!
	*SHUTTER CLICKS*
	Is this good?
Amusement Park Guest	Yes, thank you very much!
	In return, would you like me to take a picture of your group as well?
Taichi	Really!? If you're sure about it, please do!!
	Everyone! Line up, line up!
Banri	Sure thing.
Kazunari	Oh, it might be better for the pic if we line up like this instead of standing side-by-side, so… Taicchan, you go here. And Settsuar, here!
Tenma	Come on, don't make them wait too long.
Amusement Park Guest	I'm taking the picture now… Say cheese!
	… Okay! Got it.
Members	Thank you very much!
Taichi	Hehe, we made some good memories today~
Kazunari	What, we're wrapping up already? We're only getting started!
Banri	Y'all got the energy to last 'til after sundown, right?
Tenma	'Course. We may as well make the most of our trip while we're here.
Taichi	Absolutely! I've got enough to make it 'til the night parade!
	—— —— —— —— FLASHBACK END—— —— —— ——
Taichi	Even though we had no real plans to go to the amusement park, it was still so much fun…!
Banri	I really didn't expect Tenma's back to throw out like that, though.
	*DOOR OPENS*
Tenma	I'm home.
Taichi	Oh! Speak of the devil!
Tenma	Huh? Were you guys talking about me?
Kazunari	We were just talking about the time your back gave out during our amusement park trip!
Tenma	WHAT!? Why would you need to bring that up again!?
Taichi	But y'know, I'd love to go on another amusement park trip with you guys!
Banri	Then we should go. Though we probably won't get as much time as we did back then, if we leave at this hour.
Tenma	If our schedules can align again, then sure.
Kazunari	It's also totally possible we could just head over when the mood hits us, y'know!
Taichi	Exactly! That impulsiveness is an important part, too!
