Hana noticed a pad of pink stationary with sparkle hearts in Uo's open locker. "I am surprised to see you using such feminine school supplies," Hana said.

"That isn't for school-work, ya goof," Uo said good-naturedly. "I wrote a fake love-letter, and put it in Tohru's locker when she wasn't looking."

Hana frowned. "Why would you play such a cruel trick on poor sweet Tohru?"

"Aw, lighten up," Uo said. "I thought she'd be happy to have an anonymous admirer. And the letter was anonymous, so what's the... what?"

Hana pointed. Uo turned, and found Tohru standing behind her, holding Uo's letter in her hands, and staring at the pad of stationary in Uo's locker. Tohru had obviously made the connection.

"Aw, nuts," Uo said. "I'm sorry, Tohru. I didn't mean to... uh, Tohru?"

Tohru began to cry— but her tears were unexpected tears of joy. "I'm so happy!! I didn't know you felt this way about me!"

Uo sweat-dropped. "Hey, wait a minute! That's not— you're not— I'm not— HANA!! HELP!!"

Hana took up Uo's and Tohru's hands and pressed them together. "You make a lovely couple," Hana said with a straight face.

"Hoo boy," Uo muttered to herself.
