"Looks like I beat Rena." Keiichi commented as he walked up to Satoshi, smiling widely. It was the first time he got to see Satoshi since he got back and was still conscious. "Unless she's hiding somewhere around here?"

[fleetinglight]

"Keiichi! W-Wait!"

Rena walked into the library after Keiichi, trying to catch her breath. The redheaded girl stuck out her bottom lip, looking somewhat distressed, and said, "I didn't want to be the last one here..."

Straightening up, Rena glanced past the brunette boy to look at Satoshi. Beaming, the girl walked further into the room, and said, "Hi, Satoshi! It's great to see you again! It's...it's good to see you both again."

[lemon_shine]

Satoshi immediately began laughing at his friend's antics, glad to be around them again.

"I think we found her, Keiichi..." Satoshi said with a smile as Rena ran into the library.

Satoshi straightened in his seat, flashing a small smile. "It's... good to see you too, Rena. sit down, sit down! We have catching up to do, you guys!" Satoshiscooted his chair a little bit closer to the table, laughing quietly. He was happy to be near people he knew again.

[paranoidbat]

Keiichi looked at Rena and laughed. "Sorry Rena, but this time, you lost the race." He said. "Though, I think I might have to beat you more often if you keep making a face like that." He said teasingly.

Keiichi took a seat next to Satoshi. "It's definitely good to see you guys again. Being separated from you guys more than once isn't fun."

[fleetinglight]

Rena frowned, but quickly replaced the less-than-amused expression with a cheerful smile. She was too happy to see her friends again to be hurt by Keiichi's remarks...after all, she had missed them!

"Rena thinks so, too...it was hard being alone," the redhead said, sitting down on Keiichi's other side. "And, if Satoko and Rika are here, too..."

As if she expected them to materialize in the doorway, the girl glanced over in that direction. Seeing neither the small blonde or the blue-haired shrine maiden, Rena sighed softly and turned back to the others.

[lemon_shine]

"Y-Yeah... I hope we never get seperated, ever again..." His smile slipped into a tiny frown. He wished Satoko had never gotten sick, he had been so scared. They could've stayed here and waited for everyone, like always...

"Well... we're all together now, and that's what matters!" His frown slipped into a comfortable smile again, and he grinned at his friends.

"S-Satoko?! What time did she say she was coming....? Oh, crap!" Satoshi began looking around the room, an embarassed flush on his cheeks.

"Aww, man... She's gonna kill me for not meeting her at the front desk..." He slouched into his seat, glancing worriedly at the clock hanging above the librarians desk.

[slyfoxmaiden]

Satoko wasn't the only friend from Hinamizawa that had arrived that day, however. The sound of little feet echoed in the hallway outside, until a small figure stood in the doorway, smiling.

"Hello, everyone," Rika said, clasping her hands behind her back.

[paranoidbat]

"It was." Keiichi agreed. "But we won't let ourselves be separated for long. We have the red string of fate with each other, I'm sure of it." Keiichi said with a wide grin.

He paused, looking at Satoshi questioningly. "You forgot to pick her up? Geeze, she's gonna make you do a hundred laps for forgetting or something, you know." Keiichi said, standing up. "She might still be there."

He paused however when Rika appeared and grinned. "Ah, it looks like Rena wasn't the last to show up. I was starting to worry you weren't gonna come, Rika-chan." He said.

[littlestretch]

"Ooh, Nii-Nii is in trouble~" Satoko sang to herself as she reaced down the hallways. She quickly caught sight of long blue hair, and pushed her legs faster.

"R-Rika! Wait!" She called out as the other girl pushed open the doors into the library. Satoko ran in rika's footsteps, quickly skidding next to a halt next to her old friend.

"H-Hey... everybody..." She said, panting.

[fleetinglight]

Rena stood up at the sight of Rika and Satoko, resisting the urge to go into emergency Take-It-Home mode, for the sake of their first meeting in a while.

"Rika! Satoko!" she gasped, beaming at the two. "You're back!"

[slyfoxmaiden]

Rika turned, flashing Satoko a smile before turning back to the rest of the group, keeping her grin in tact. "It's good to see you all again," the little girl said, starting into the room with her best friend.

She was relieved that they were all there, with her...but did they remember anything?

[lemon_shine]

"I didn't forget..." Satoshi mumbled in his own defense, but was unheard as the two youngest members of their group arrived. He stood up, grinning from ear to ear as all of his friends greeted each other.

"Rika! I'm so glad you're back." He said, a kind smile on his face as he stepped away from the table.

When he caught sight of satoko, he was overjoyed. But... he gulped, and put his hands up in a sign of surrender. "S-Satoko... I'm glad you made it!" He hoped he wouldn't incur her wrath after forgetting to pick her up...

[littlestretch]

"Rena! Keiichi-Nii~!" Satoko jumped off of the ground, a smile practically splitting her face. how lucky could she get? It was almost like old times. Whe she heard her older brother's voice, though, she turned on her heels and sent a glare in his direction.

She adored Satoshi too much to be angry for long, though Satoko would try.

"Nii-Niiiiiii! How could you?" She teased, though a smile was on her face. She lunged foward and grabbed his hand, smiling brightly at her 'Nii-Nii'.

"...Don't think you're off the hook though, mister." Satoko warned, a pout on her lips.

Order: Keiichi > Rena > Rika > Satoshi > Satoko?

[paranoidbat]

And there was Satoko. Well, it looked like he wouldn't have to go and get her. Or get Satoshi too.

Keiichi gave the two younger girls a wide smile. "Count on Satoko to find us without needing to be told." He said. "It's good to see you guys again!" He said.

It was good to see them all smiling again. It felt like forever since he last saw that.

Order sounds good~

[fleetinglight]

Rena sat back down as the two younger girls walked in, still smiling happily. Now, if only Hanyuu and the twins would show up! Well...it wasn't good to be put in Malaise, but it would certainly be a good thing if they were all together again.

Rena half-glanced at the cheerful Rika, wondering vaguely whether or not the blue-haired girl remembered everything that they did. She had to, didn't she? Or...had Rena made that part up?

Trying not to dwell, the redhead said "Well, we have to do something to celebrate! What should it be, I wonder?"

[slyfoxmaiden]

Rika sat down with the others, her legs not touching the floor. "We should all play a game. Without Mi around, someone else will have to come up with the punishments..."

It was a scary, and somehow reassuring thought. Not the idea of walking around in a bizarre outfit, of course...but being able to play club games together as if nothing had ever happened was the most calming thought in the world.

{OOC: Got to go until tomorrow! Rena and Rika out!}
