[Before Maron's voice comes through the journals, you might find her transporting a couple of bags full of ribbons on sticks, bouncy balls, and what look like hula hoops and juggling clubs through the village toward the lake.

After she gets about one fourth of the way, she'll get off the path and pause, and crack open her journal.]

Hi~ Maron here! It might be a little overcast out, but it's still a nice day out, isn't it? So! To celebrate, I'm out practicing some rhythmic gymnastics! I don't know how many people would be interested, but I can teach anyone who is interested. I'm out a little ways from the village proper, toward the larger lake, a little off the path. Come out and say hi!

[Anyone interested will find her there, already practicing, of course. She'll happily hand out her makeshift supplies to practice with to anyone who asks.]

Well, question. Is it still a lot of fun if I fall on my ass and then sprain my ankle? If so, I guess you can sign me up, but I've got my doubts.

You won't, it's not like you'd be going pirouettes or anything crazy right off the bat!

[JEEZ KYON.]

Okay, okay, yeah, sure. Remind me next time you do it or something.

Ooor I could remind you right now? [Yes. She's still trying to weasel her way into getting him there right now.] But, I guess if that's not possible, every other day I'll probably be doing this.

...

['Do I want to get it over with now, or do I want to face being bothered by this every two days for the rest of my life?']

You know what, now's fine, I guess.

Really? You mean it? [VICTORY.]

...Yeah. I meant it, anyway.

You can't mean you don't now. That wouldn't be right.

O-Okay.

['Wow, that was... Haruhi-scary.']

You're in the plaza, right? I'll go there now. See you.

['Maybe I can hang up before she says she's by the lake or whatever...!']

Nope, near the lake!

[...crap, did he hear that?]

['Hah!

Now all I have to do is fool around in the plaza and everything will be well...'

Unless his guilt seizes hold of him. Or she comes to drag him there, but... she wouldn't do that...

'Would she?']

[...probably not. But she'll be upset he didn't show. :(

In fact, if guilt does seize hold of him, and he ends up meandering toward the lake, he might find her, sitting with her things, and looking... more sad than anything.

For her, perhaps she was too pushy? If she were to see him, she'd be sure to apologize if she came off that way.

Maybe eventually.]

[Sure enough, guilt comes.

'As it always does when a cute girl is involved.'

And he makes his way over to the lake. Her looking sad only makes it far worse.

'Time to fake happiness and confusion...']

O-Oh... There you are!

[Maron will look up, and stand straight up when she sees him.]

S-sorry! Sorry, if I was too pushy. I didn't mean to be. I was afraid I had scared you off. I wasn't sure if you heard me when I said I was here, but... I was more worried you weren't going to show. So, again, I'm really sorry.

[She'll even bow really, really low.]

[WORSE THAN HE COULD HAVE IMAGINED]

N-No! Not at all... I'm sorry I'm so late, I-I would be really sad if I missed it... Yeah, please don't apologize.

[Maron will stand up straight again once he starts talking, and maybe smile a little.]

It's all right, and I'm glad to hear that. I was going to be pretty angry with myself had I done that. You would have gotten an apology regardless.

['May I never feel guilt like that again... I'd do rhythmic gymnastics every day for the rest of my life to avoid it.']

Don't worry about it at all. I'm just happy I caught you in time. [he lies with a straight face.]

So! How do you do it?

[Biggest. Smile. EVER.]

I can give you a demonstration? Buuut of course, it'll be kinda girly, and you don't necessarily have to be girly either. You could juggle the clubs and spin in place and you'd be doing things right. [For a guy doing a usually women-only sport.]

Oh, don't worry about it. I owe it to you to give it a shot, at least.

['Considering the massive rebounded mental pain and suffering.']

[Then with a nod, she'll hand over the two clubs she's holding.] Can you juggle?

[He takes them like they're swords.]

... Well, I can juggle balls. For about twenty seconds.

Ah here, hold them like this.

[Maron will be taking his hands and readjusting the clubs and his grip slightly. Hope you don't mind, Kyon!]

It's easier this way. Loosen your grip a little, and act like you're juggling, but slowly. When one is half way down, throw the other. You can catch them easier that way.

[Minding is the last thing on his... mind. Even if not for massive overriding guilt from just now, and also apprehension about how girly this will, inherently, cute girls adjusting your hands isn't something to complain about.]

Uh, okay. We'll see if I can even catch one of them, huh?

[He tosses the one in his right hand up, then, as she directed, when the second one comes down, tosses the second one--and, much to his surprise, catches them both.

...but then manages to have forgotten completely about rethrowing them up again. Oops.]

...Hey, not bad.

See? It's not bad at all, right? Just-- ah careful! [Those clubs are looking mighty close to his head, and Maron has had her fair share of clubs to the head in practice. They might not hurt too much, but it's unpleasant nonetheless. Maron will jump to hopefully grab one, if not both of the clubs before they hit Kyon.

That would be a terrible thing to let happen, especially considering she's not supposed to let things like this happen. If he didn't mind her hands, there's probably not going to be much of a problem with a girl in his personal bubble like woah.

What will you do, Kyon?]

['Besides panic a little bit, and also enjoy it a little bit, and also remember that I'm almost completely incapable of doing things like juggling ... well, that's really enough to be going on with.'

He does flinch a bit on principle, though. He's only used to Koizumi getting up in his grill like that.]

--T-Thanks. Sorry about that.
