Excerpt: Being good wasn't any fun-- it was teasing Watanuki and playing in the kitchen that made him make all those funny faces.

"I want to... drink some good coffee," Yuuko said after a moment. Lazily she patted Mokona on the head. "Your turn."

"I want to... snuggle Watanuki," Mokona said. "Where is he?"

"On a school trip," Yuuko said, rolling her eyes. "And he said he wasn't bringing me a present, either."

"Is he bringing Mokona a present?"

"He said, 'Only if Mokona is good while I'm gone.'"

"Aww..." Mokona pouted. "I wanted a present!"

"So did I," Yuuko said. "Oh well. I'll get to hear all about his troubles rooming with Doumeki, anyway. That will be amusing."

"I like Doumeki!" Mokona said. "He's too serious, though." It froze like a statue for a moment, presumably mimicking the archer.

"Too serious," Yuuko agreed. "He needs to enjoy life more. After all, he gets to eat Watanuki's awesome food every day!"

"Yay, Watanuki!" Mokona said. "When is he coming back?"

"Tomorrow," Yuuko said. She smiled. "Think you can be good until he comes back?"

She leaned down onto the floor so that she and Mokona were at eye level. Then she snorted and they both started laughing. Being good wasn't any fun-- it was teasing Watanuki and playing in the kitchen that made him make all those funny faces, a fact which they both understood.

"It's your turn," Mokona said, hopping onto Yuuko's head. Yuuko leaned back lazily.

"I want to... see Soel again," she said. The white Mokona had been getting in trouble of its own lately.

"I want to... run through the streets naked!" Mokona said. Yuuko giggled.

"You aren't wearing anything," she said.

"Yay, I won!" Mokona said, clapping. Yuuko reached out and pulled an old top hat from the mess around her and dropped it onto Mokona's head.

"Now you are," she said. The Mokona was almost entirely enveloped by the hat. She picked it up and flipped it over, and Mokona jumped out.

"Tada!" it said, posing.

Yuuko smiled and stretched. Tomorrow, she would have to send Watanuki on a mission of "utmost importance" that would almost certainly end in an embarrassing rescue by Doumeki. Today, she had Mokona, and they had the "I want..." game, and that was all they needed.
