Long Vacation Episode #1

-It is the wedding day of Minami(30yr old model). But her
husband-to-be, Asakura, is not showing. So she runs to his apartment
where his roommate, Sena(24yr old whose dream is to be a great
pianist), opens the door. Sena explains to her that Asakura packed his
stuff and left. Sena searches Asakura's room to see if he can help
Minami.  He finds a letter and reads it to her. The letter explains
that Asakura fell in love with another girl and decided to be with her
instead.  Not knowing what to do, Minami leaves.
-The next day, Minami returns to Sena's Apartment and asks if she can
move into Asakura's old room because she had sold her aprtment room
cause she was planning to live with Asakura and now she has nowhere to
go.  Sena agrees.
-They both try to impress each other by telling lies (stretch of the
truth) bout each other. Minami says she is a model for a magazine
"An-An" (kinda like playboy) when she really is a model too old and
getting bad jobs.  Sena says he is a pianist who has his own recitals
in big concert halls and stuff when he just has a part-time job at the
YAMAHA piano school and goes to competitions which he always loses
(but he is trying to be a pianist).
-One day, Sena finds an ad for frying pan where Minami is the model.
He realizes she is not "An-An".
-Sena goes to the university he graduated from and meets his teacher.
The "sensei" (teacher) thinks Sena is very talented and will be big
some day but his music lacks in feeling ("perhaps shy?")...feels like
there is a wall.  Sena explains that he loves to play. He always plays
for himself and never for someone else. Ryoko's (a student at the
university and also Sena's crush) piano is heard.  Sensei says Ryoko
is also very talented. She has feeling in her music and it makes him
warm.
-Sena comes back to his apartment where he sees Minami surrounded by
boxes and boxes of wine (wedding gift) drinking.  They drink together
and talk.  Sena reveals his crush on Ryoko and shows Minami her pic.
Minami talks bout the time when Asakura phoned her at 12:00 in the
morning of her 27th birthday...he wanted to be the first one to say
"happy b-day!".  He did the same thing for her 28, 29, 30th b-day.
After talk, they play with superbouncing ball (symbolic in this
story...note from Nip @)) They live on 3rd floor and Sena teaches
Minami that its possible to throw it down from window and it will come
back up. lv7.JPGThey get all excited but on one of the tries, ball bounces
away. Sena tries to get it but she stops him.
-Next morning Minami looks for ball. She finds it.
-Sena sees Ryoko and they walk together to his YAMAHA school.  Ryoko
says that he has more talent then to be a teacher at this kind of
school.
-Minami stays home all day.  It is her 31st b-day and she is waiting
for the phone call from Asakura which never comes.
-Sena comes back that night and gets mad at Minami for picking up the
phone (they had rule that she no pick up phone cause its his line).
Minami tells him that Ryoko called. It was 1st time she ever called
and she might think that Minami is his girl or something so he gets
pissed even more.  Also another message that he lost a competition
(piano) he tried for. Him pissed even more. Also a messag bout a
student of his cant come tomorrow. Minami thinks he is pissed cause
she found out that he is just a YAMAHA teacher because of phone
message.(its really bout Ryoko). Minami keeps on blabbing bout how its
ok to lie blah blah blah blah and wont leave Sena alone. So he gets
pissed and tells her she lies too.  they get in  fight.lv8.JPG Minami
decides to leave the apartment. she packs her stuff and leaves. Sena,
then, sees her resume on floor.  He reads it and realizes that its her
b-day and how she probably wait for Asakura's phone call. He feel bad
so he go to window and tells her to come back. She refuses and keeps
on going. he start to play "Happy B-day" on piano. lv9.jpgShe hears and
stops. After that he starts to play a piece that is warming and
wonderful (Nip will call it "Wonderful Piece" from now on cause it
comes up alot and me dont know name of the piece ok?)(Note from Webmaster: it's called "Close to you~Piece of Sena)  She hears and is
touched by the kindness in music or something so she goes back. When
he stops playing, he tells her that the day isnt over and he still
might call. Just then, the phone rings. They both freeze. Minami then
runs to phone. "Hello?!"
