Aru paced back and forth inside Kara and Aru's shared room, tugging at her hair and biting her nails frantically. Kara, who was sitting on the bed, watched on nervously. Aru came to a halt in front of her, glaring.

"Now what are we supposed to do?" She demanded. Her sister shrugged her shoulders helplessly. Aru rubbed her temple. "What happened back there?"

*Flashback to a couple of hours ago...*

Kara opened her mouth and declared:

"I like you-"

And then she paled and immediately stammered out in a rush.

"-your camera! What model is it? Tell me about it!" Aru watched all this, shocked. This wasn't part of the plan! But a part of her felt relieved. She quickly pushed that feeling down. Aiden looked just as confused.

"Um, it's a Hasselblad. My dad owned it, back in 1998. A special mechanist modified the SLR into a digital, modern one and added a bluetooth chip." Kara nodded furiously.

"Interesting! I have to go now. Bye!" She scurried out of the meadow, leaving behind a bewildered Aiden.

"Bye?" Kara did not stop running until she reached the Kanzan cherry tree (which Aru had decided to name 'K.C.') and took long gulps of air. Aru looked down at her, raising an eyebrow.

*End of flashback*

"What happened back there?" Aru repeated. Kara sighed.

"It's just that, my gut told me this was going to go wrong, and, when I told him I liked him, without the camera past, I'm pretty sure I saw pity in his eyes. He was going to reject me, I know it." Aru flopped onto the bed next to Kara and the older girl looked at her, twiddling her thumbs.

"So.... Now what?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Asked Aru, rubbing her cheeks up and down. "We are going to create 'Operation Karaden' and make Aiden fall in love with you, if you're so sure he doesn't like you already."

A/N: This was probably one of my most shortest chapters, but what did you guys think?
