Apologies to all the Kokoro fans for all the Marika-chan screencaps ;) Anyways....

Kippei makes a bentou for Kokoro to make up for not talking to her over the summer and Kokoro happily accepts it. Ain't that sweet of Kippei? One smart thing he's done. But then he talks about how Kokoro would make a good wife... and he says they might have a beautiful kid together. One not quite so smart thing to say. So things are looking good for Kokoro and Kippei. At least they are until Kokoro gets a phone call...

Back at the preschool... Marika-chan got some new socks and is showing them off (as usual). But another girl kicks a ball her way and her brand new socks get dirty... Later on the class writes a letter to somebody special and that girl from earlier sits down with Yuzuyu. And we find out that she doesn't really like Marika-chan.. She brags a lot, she's quick to interrupt.. and socks and ribbons don't look good on her. Marika-chan overheard that and gets pretty pissed off and calls that girl an idiot and runs outside.. Yuzu runs outside and there Marika-chan is crying.. poor thing. Who is Marika-chan's special person she wrote a letter to? She wrote a letter to Yuzuyu.. awwwww, how sweet. Even Marika-chan can be nice sometimes :)

Kippei still can't figure out what's wrong with Kokoro. On her way home Kokoro goes by her house and sees her father outside cutting roses and gets rather mad. I wonder why... Seems things aren't going too well with him. After taking Yuzuyu home Kippei goes to Kokoro's apartment, but she's not there. As he goes out Kokoro comes in and says that she "doesn't want to get any closer to him"... so things have cooled off yet again. And they were looking so good earlier.. oh well. Well, we've got 3 episodes left to tie things up :)
