Long Vacation Episode #2-Its not Asakura on phone but Shinji, Minami's funky and outgoing
younger bro. He starts to talk crap so she hangs up on him.Then the
doorbell rings and its Shinji with his girlfriend Ru. He came by to
say "Happy Marriage!"(he hasnt talked to his family in 6months so all
he know is that she was getting married around this time) He mistakes
Sena for Minami's husband and starts blabbing on and on blah blah blah
blah...then asks for money since they r "brothers-in-law". Minami
tells him that its not her husband and explains stuff to him.
-Next day. Sena is talking to friend bout phone incident and Ryoko.so
friend give him 2 tickets to concert (Sena paid him $100 each)for him
to go with Ryoko. (friend actually trick him cause tickets r for night
before) So Sena gets enough courage to tell her that crazy lady on
phone has nothing to do with him and asks her to go to concert with him.
-Minami is with her friend Momoko(also model but she young so she has
good job) at their manager's office. Manager tries to offer Minami a
modeling job for "Miracle Bust-Up! cup massage for 30+ yrs" She
obviously refuses. Manager know that there is no more jobs for her so
he gives her a hob of managing a new model who just came in (she is
stuck-up, conceited little bitch bout 15-16yrs)
-Minami and Momoko is at Pachinko (japanese pinball game-like place
for adults (gamble place). There, Minami spots Asakura walking by. She
jumps up and runs after him but crashes into a stranger and loses
sight of him. Then Momoko asks her "If he does come back, r u going to
forgive him?" Minami doesnt know what to say.
-Well, Sena and Ryoko realize tickets dont work so Ryoko offers to go
to amusement park. She explains that she wanted to go to amusement
park for long time with a friend blah balh blah...and she doesnt seem
to realize Sena asked her on a "date". He finally asks "Aren't we on a
date?" She replies, startled"This is a date?"
Awkward silence........
-Sena and Ryoko goes into a Ramen restaurant where Minami is drinking
and drunk with Momoko. Sena tries to not notice her but Minami sees
him and starts to yell "HI! HOW R U? U MUST BE RYOKO! I'VE HEARD STUFF
BOUT U! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" She gives Sena a 50% off love hotel
coupon and starts telling him to go with Ryoko. Offended, Ryoko thanks
Sena for a lovely evening and leaves with tears in her eyes. Sena is
upset and pissed. He says to Minami "No wonder u were left at the
alter. U r so inconsiderate and u never understand other people's
position or their feeling. Ryoko is a delicate and fragile girl with a
heart filled with white, soft, fresh snow. She's not like u who is
filled with black muddy snow filled with footprints of everyone from
being stepped on." Minami is hurt and pissed.
-MInami sleeps over at Momoko's place. She asks Momoko, "Am I really
all that Sena said?" Momoko replies "Nope. I like u just the way u r."
Minami happy again.
-Shinji and Ru gets a job at a night club. Shinji as a host and Ru as
a waitress/bartender.
-Sena gets a new student at YAMAHA named Saito. She wants to be a
great pianist and her mom also wants her to be one too. But she seems
like a very cold person. She is very good technically at the piano but
not musically as if like a typewriter and she doesnt seem to enjoy
playing. Sena tells her that piano is something u should enjoy.Saito
looks at him like he doesnt know what he is talking bout. She tells
him that shes only at this amateur YAMAHA school until she can find a
good and better teacher. Ryoko comes in the school and overhears Saito
tell Sena that she doesnt want to be a nobody like him. She wants to
go to a great university and be a great pianis. Saito leaves. Sena is
a bit embarassed because Ryoko heard that talk.
-Ryoko is walking by when Shinji starts to hit on her (remember that
they dont know each other-note from Nip)
He tells her bout his age, how he plays the piano (he's actually very
good) blah blah. Ryoko, annoyed, tells him to bug off and he does.
-Minami at Pachinko place hoping to see Asakura again. She finally
give up when the store closes. She goes home feeling down when she
hears Sena playing the "Wonderful Piece" on the piano. She loves the
song cause it makes her feel better. she goes inside and they start to
talk.Minami tells him bout her feel down. Sena tells her that when u
fell like that and dont know what to do, u think of it as a long
vacation.Instead of going crazy and fast trying to figure out the
solution, just relax and go very slow like your on vacation. As if god
gave you a long vacation to help u out. so if u use it, it will get
better.
-Next morning. Sena checks mail and sees a picture post card from
Asakura.It is pic of Asakura getting married with his new girl. He
tries to hide it from Minami but she realizes that he is hiding
something. So she grabs the end of the post card that he tried to hide
and they have a tug-a-war. It rips in half so she has the piece of pic
with Asakura and Sena has his new wife. She goes after him to get the
other piece but Sena eats it before she sees it. She stops chasing
Sena and looks at the post card. Realizing that he got married to a
new girl, she starts to cry.
