"WAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

"Look, it's not my fault I have to go to school," said one exasperated Sakura. "In fact, if I had my way -"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" That was Mihoshi, for those of you in Hong Kong wondering where that infernal racket was originating.

"Will you quit crying? It's not like I'm going to leave forever, just for a few hours (and am I ever grateful school only lasts that long). I'll be back, I promise."

"You really mean it?"

"Yes, I -"

"YAAAY! We'll go shopping together, and out to eat, and -"

"We'll see. In the meantime, try to follow what Washu said, and one additional thing -"

"Anything!"

"Please leave the house intact. My mom's already griping about the new backyard decor."

"I will! You won't have anything to worry about from me, I promise! You'll see!"

With that, Sakura left, leaving Mihoshi alone - Sakura's dad was working, her kid brother was heading off to school himself, and her mother was out talking to a landscaper.

If that doesn't scare you, folks, I'd love to know what does.
