Narration: It's summer!

Kengo: --I'm hungry.
	 <stomach growl>

Fubuki: Boring.
	 Hey, what time is it now?

Voice: --Do you guy's understand you're circumstances!?

Narration: Himawari High School is also having summer vacation!

Sign: Author's note*   This is
	 The Extra Kobayashi-kun.

Narration: You're not wrong.

Yamato: Ok.

Narration: --so, to begin with, how did this happen-

~~~~~~~~
Narration: Let's start the story a few hours previous-

Worker: Hey- part-timer!  Kobayashi!!

Kengo: Yes!

Worker: There's a pretty girl who's come to meet you.  Your girlfriend?
	 <whistle>
	 Nice going.

Kengo: Girl-
	 friend!?

~~~~
Kengo: --Chairman!

Fubuki: Hi,
	 Kengo Kobayashi--  It's been a while--

Kengo thinks: Thought so.

Narration: <-He doesn't know any other girls.

Kengo: What do you want?
	 I am working right now.

Fubuki: <cough>
	 Um, actually...

Sign: Oil-

Fubuki: Do you know where KOBAYASHI-KUN is!?

Narration: (laugh)

Fubuki: <grab>!
	 He isn't anywhere--

Kengo thinks: .........thought she'd say that.

~~~~~~~~
Kengo thinks: This girl, Fubuki Kobayashi, is a.k.a the closet young boy fan
	 who currently has a crush on Yamato Kobayashi who's in our class.
Kengo thinks: ...thanks to that, she continually calls me an old man.
	 Sorry I look old.

Fubuki: Rats-- so you don't know--
Fubuki: I really wanted to meet him today--
	 Kobayashi-kun--

Kengo: ...did you call his house?

Fubuki: Of course!
	 They said they didn't know when he'd be back--

<car noise>...

Kengo: Then
	 why don't you wait for him?

Sign: Gaso-

<rumbling>...

Fubuki: I could do that...!
	 Silly me!!

~~~~
Fubuki: Thank you.  See ya--

Kengo thinks: ...what on earth was that all about...
	 "really today" huh......

<squeaky>

Worker: When you've finished that, there's a car to wash.

Kengo: Ok.
Kengo thinks: Did she have something especially important going on?  ...well, it has nothing to do with me...
Kengo thinks: Oh, speaking of which, the other KOBAYASHI...... he might know something.

Sign: Chihiro Kobayashi's apartment

Chihiro: <sigh>!
	 My dearest wish has finally been granted!

Narration: Tears of gratitude!!

~~~~~~~~
Chihiro: A Little Lassie in each arm!

Narration: (laugh)

Little Lassie: <bark>!

Chihiro: <emotional>

Yamato: Chihiro-kun, it's hot!!
	 Goodness.
	 Who's a Little Lassie!?
Yamato: <laugh>  I'm surprised.
	 Even so, what a coincidence running into each other at the pet shop.

Chihiro: <chuckle>...  was it really a coincidence Kobayashi-kun?

Yamato: Huh?

Narration: <- Tracking device.  (explosive laugh)

Yamato: Th- that's the safety-in-traffic talisman you gave me 2 days ago!!

Narration: <-It's because he carried it around with him at all times... (laugh)

Chihiro: <cackle>
	 It's my school project during summer vacation.  Thanks for being monitored

Kobayashi-kun.

<phone rings>...

Yamato: <shriek> a trap again--

Chihiro: <laugh>
	 <answers phone>
	 Yes, this is Kobayashi-

~~~~
Chihiro: Hm?  What's up Kengo-kun?

Yamato: I was tricked--?
	 How cruel--

Chihiro: Someone crying?  You're imagining things.
	 Kobayashi-kun at my house?  No, he's not here.

Yamato: <howl>

Chihiro: Later.
	 <hangs up>

Kengo: ....................
Kengo: <hangs up>

	 <chuckle>

Yamato: Wow.
	 I'm surprised Fubuki-chan.

	 Cut it out would you.  Goodness--  Isn't this a poppin' comedy?

<traffic noises>

Man: Hey!  In front!  Move!!

<bug noises>

~~~~
Robbers: Whadda we do with these guys?
	 If it comes down to it, they may come in useful.  Let's post a guard outside and lock them up.
Robber: Even so........

Kengo: I'm hungry...

Fubuki: Oh, goodness.  This is the worst--

Robber: ......those kids are strangely calm--
	 Are they really high school students?

~~~~~~~~
Fubuki: --hey, what time do you think it is now?

Kengo: Got me... 6 or maybe 7 o'clock...  
	 By my stomach...
	 What is it?

Fubuki: --

Fubuki: <blush>
	 <sigh>
Fubuki: I don't suppose... I'll be able to meet him today--...?

Kengo thinks: Oh-
	 ...I see.  She...

Kengo thinks: planned on -- confessing [her love]
	 to him...
Kengo thinks: .........then that's...

Fubuki: I wonder where he is now--?  Kobayashi-kun......
	 I want to meet you--
	 <sigh>

Kengo: <clench>
Kengo: .........

Fubuki: Hey,
	 Oh!  That's right!  Didn't you say you were in the middle of work!?  Hey!

~~~~~~~~
Kengo: ...<sigh>

Fubuki: Then- with this you might get fired...!

Kengo: Maybe.

Fubuki: Ooh... --sorry!
Fubuki: It's because I came and bothered you at work...!  So...

Kengo: It's not your fault!

Fubuki: ..................But you've got an angry expression...
	 See--

Kengo: ...........................
Kengo thinks: ...this
Kengo thinks: scary face was what I was born with.

Fubuki: --at any rate, when this clears up,
Fubuki: I'll take responsibility and find you a new job!  I promise!
	 Ok?

Kengo: --......
Kengo: You doing that won't make me happy.
Kengo: <gasp>
Kengo thinks: Ooh.
Kengo thinks: Whoop... I did it again!

Fubuki: I- I see--
	 I was taking unnecessary care--
	 <laugh>--
	 This guy--

Kengo thinks: That's not it.  I didn't mean it like that just now......

~~~~~~~~
Yamato: "Don't worry about it Fubuki-chan."

Kengo thinks: --If it was Yamato Kobayashi-

Yamato: It's ok.  It's ok.
	 I'm not angry--

Kengo thinks: He could pass it off as nothing.
Kengo thinks: Why am I so--...
	 bad at letting other people know how I feel...

~~~~
Fubuki thinks: Wait-
	 this has gotta be on the news-
	 ...which means-
Fubuki thinks: Kobayashi-kun's gotta be worried about now...

Narration: (laugh)

Fubuki: Won't you stop!?  That sort of thing!!

	 if it's not too much trouble for you to look for a job for me, in other words......

Fubuki: --Oh!  Before?
	 <giggle>
	 It's ok, I understand.

~~~~~~~~
Fubuki: "It's not your fault so don't worry about it" right?
	 It's so like you, I smiled a bit.
	 <laugh>

Kengo thinks: !

Fubuki: Hmm--
	 --but, you really don't talk about yourself.
	 <seriously>

Kengo: ?
	 Huh-

Fubuki: When you've been with me, I've been doing all the talking.
Fubuki: --!  Oh yeah!
	 Tell me your secret!

~~~~
Kengo: Huh-
	 Mine?

Fubuki: Yeah, your secret!
Fubuki: I've talked to a quite embarrassing extent about Kobayashi-kun.  You just listening is unfair!
Fubuki: Tsubame again--
	 Are you listening!?

Narration: <-grumbling

Kengo: That's because you kept...

Fubuki: Let me have some fun too!

Kengo: ........

Fubuki: You have one, right!?  What is it!  "I wet my bed as a high school student" or "I cheated recently" or
	 "when was your first love?" like that!

Kengo: ......?

Fubuki: <excited scream>

Fubuki: We... we are.  How did you know we're here--!?

Chihiro: By the tracking device you're carrying Fubuki--
	 <cackle>
Chihiro: My-

Fubuki: W- wha!?

Chihiro: Huh?  That present I gave you 2 days ago- the sample lipstick from my mom's store.
Chihiro: This was a leftover.

Fubuki: Free?  It's a nice color.  I'll take it--

~~~~~~~~
Chihiro: It was a big help for you to carry it around with you.  Yeah, and it's been this useful!
	 <laugh>
	 You should thank me.

Fubuki: <XXXXX>

Chihiro: I gave one to Kengo too--
	 The safe-in-traffic talisman.
	 You're useless.

Kengo: Think I'd walk around with it!!
	 Don't be ridiculous

Fubuki: <gasp>
