Perfect Reveler
"Just this one time--and I'll pay you back with something really good because well, I'm Sato Chouko," She beamed, her arrogance never taking a break or daring to ever go under the radar. Taking the helmet, it took a few tries to tuck her long hair into it which she refused to give up on until all the hair was inside before she mounted the bike behind Ryoichi. Hearing his comment about coffee first, she nodded her head easily for Starbucks always had its ways of perking up the liveliness she already had belting out of her 24/7.
"Sounds like a plan!"
Coffee in hand, the girl sipped at it steadily, becoming entranced in it's caffeinated pleasure before Ryoichi's question broke through. "Now shouldn't that question be easy to answer considering what day it is?" She teased, moving forward to hook arm with the shorter male as she ushered him onward. Though as she started walking, she soon realized she couldn't remember which store she'd placed the order in. It was a pity she was too stubborn to admit it too, for Ryoichi might have had an idea of where it was if she'd described it. Dragging him along, she pretended to know where she was going, all the while peeking into stores to see if any of them rang a bell. Eventually, they'd walked around in circles. Then they'd swooped from one end of the mall back to the other end. She could barely even keep in her excitement once she'd found it. Her ego let her off the hook for that moment it seemed, for the girl let out a squeal and hurried Ryoichi inside without letting him get even a breather.
Stepping up to the lean man at the desk, she hurriedly inquired about her delivery. He handed her something to sign which she did with half-assed penmanship as the man came back with a huge box decorated with Pokémon wrapping paper to go along with the theme of the birthday cake Chiyo was making. "So this is a pretty big box, Miss.. what's going to go inside, if you don't mind me asking?" Chouko looked up at the man, a smirk yanking at the corners of her lips as she answered simply, "Myself." His reaction was almost too expected. Making an unimpressed face at the goo goo eyes and drool threatening to rain from the thirsty man's mouth like a waterfall, she rolled her eyes and heaved the box from the counter and onto the floor, which was almost as tall as herself. "Don't take it the wrong way--I'd only ever make myself a present to an adorable / smokin' hot girl. The birthday happens to be for a boy.. and I'm going to hide in the box and scare the living crap out of him." With that she turned on her heel, motioning for Ryoichi to assist her in lifting the huge box and carrying it out of the store.
The cappuccino still fresh in her system, she offered to carry the box for a bit on her own as a small repayment--though she wouldn't admit it as being generous--for Ryoichi giving her a ride to the mall. Now the first year was in charge. She obediently followed him around as he did his part of the shopping, all the while craning her head to the sides of the box in her arms to make sure she wouldn't bump into anyone or anything. A few times she'd knocked over merchandise onto the floor by accident, too stubborn and set on carrying the box as her task to go back and pick the things up. But hey - that's what store employees were for, right..?
At the end of their little shopping spree, Chouko readily let the box fly from her hands onto the ground as she looked from the box to Ryoichi's motorbike. If it meant the box taking her place in the back of his bike and her being left to walk home, she'd do it for the sake of her birthday prank going well. "So.. how are we gonna do this, Chinatsu-san?"
"Sounds like a plan!"
TIMESKIP!
