Placing the painting on the table, Gabriel walks to the powders and brings the three back to her. "If you aren't as nauseous you can stop taking the yellow one. It has been a bit of time since the break out so you can go back down to the one if you are okay with that?" 

"You are probably right. I will stop taking both of the other medicines for the meantime and adjust back to my daily one but if I start to feel bad I will take the other two." Amelia smiles and takes the white package and the cup of water. She takes the powder and drinks the water after. 

Gabriel sits down next to her and pats her cheek. "If you feel anything strange you can always come to me. I will look after you." he leans down and kisses her on the lips while her friends watch. It was gentle and fleeting.

Ami pretends to cover her face totally peeking through her fingers. Sachi smiles sadly but is smiling happily as her friend is with the guy that she loves. Miyuki comes back at the end of the kiss and places the trays in front of everyone and one to the side before going to the door and grabbing the tea. "I have spoken to Kuma. He will have everything ready for a picnic lunch." 

"Wonderful! That will be a lot of fun." Sachi claps her hands and moves her handkerchief off the table. "Ami is only allowed to go if she gets the start of her project done." 

"That's not fair. Amelia, please tell me that you do not agree to this?" Ami is pouting and trying to plead with her eyes. 

Mayumi pokes her head in the doorway and looks at all the people shyly before spotting Amelia. She rushes into the room and quickly sits beside Amelia snuggling in. "Auntie, may I come with you guys?"

Sara stands at the door and chuckles. "I am sorry. She got away from me as soon as I turned my back." 

Amelia wraps her arm around Mayumi. "You shouldn't sneak off on Sara but you can come with us. I was going to see if you would be able to come with us and Itsuki too. Sara, do not worry about it. I do not mind. Besides, Mayumi is family and is adorable." 

"Itadakimasu." Everyone at the table says. "Sara there is only one time that you will need to be super diligent but today is okay. We are going out in the afternoon. Please have the children ready to go and we will be eating lunch outside. Miyuki has all the details, please go over it with her after breakfast." Gabriel picks up an egg roll and feeds it to Amelia while she is snuggling with Mayumi.

"I am so glad that I can come with you. I was worried about Auntie. Are you feeling better?" She looks up at Amelia with her big round eyes slightly pouting.

Ami looks at Mayumi and squeals. "She is just the cutest girl ever!" 

Sachi sighs and eats some of her food before speaking, "You need to calm down Ami or else you will scare the poor girl."

Amelia finished the food in her mouth and smiled sweetly, "Mayumi, these are my friend Ami and Sachi. They will be coming with us. Ami is the one freaking out about how adorable you are." 

Eating in silence Gabriel kept feeding Amelia her food in between the conversations. "Mayumi is my niece." 

"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you two. My name is Mayumi." She lets go of Amelia and bows to the two ladies across from her then sits up looking at them smiling like a little angel. "Auntie is so nice to me so I like to spend time with her. I will let you eat your food, Auntie." She sits up but stays close watching the two.

"Hello, Mayumi. I am Sachi and I am glad to have met you. You are very adorable. Gabriel, I do like how you take care of Amelia." She had been watching as everything was going on.

Ami was about to get up but was immediately stopped by Sachi with a glare. "I'm Ami and I want to shower you with affection. You are just the cutest little girl. I am sorry if I scare you I just love adorable things." 

"You love adorable things and you have zero talent for any of the feminine activities. Both of my friends are good people before I started to see your uncle. These two are the ones that took care of me." Amelia patted Mayumi on her head and ate a little bit on her own.

"Someone has to make sure that She eats or else she will only eat a little." Gabriel shrugged and ate his food quickly. 

Miyuki was sitting down next to Mayumi and Sara sat next to her and the two were whispering quietly. "Miyuki, can you prepare to bring the gifts for the children that I got when we go out?" Amelia asked then drank some of the tea in her cup.

"Of course! I will make sure that It is set up for you. Sara will be right back. There is something that we discussed and I want to make sure that everything is all set so that we will be able to have a great time."

Mayumi please stay with your Aunt and Uncle while I go and get what needs to be done as fast as I can." Sara looks a little sad but also excited.

"Yes. I will stay here and not go anywhere else. I will behave and try to not get in the way until you return." Mayumi bows to Sara then gives her the biggest smile that she could muster. 

"She will not be a bother in any way. Go do what you must do. We will be working on homework for a short while and then heading out." Amelia says this and moves some of her egg rolls to Miyuki's tray. She takes a few more bites then places the chopsticks down. "Gochisousama." 

Sara gets up and leaves the room smiling. "Be back as soon as I can." 

Mayumi smiles while hugging Amelia's arm. "Auntie, what are you going to study?" 

Slowly Amelia gets up and lets Mayumi follow her. "I am going to sort out my homework first and then I will worry about what I need to do. Do you want to help me sort my papers out?" 

"I will help you!" Mayumi jumps up and down clapping her hands. She sits across from Amelia helping with the pages that Amelia hands to her. 

"This is not yet to hand in." Amelia hands her a few pages. Then sees the assignment that she is looking for. "This is one that I need." 

Mayumi helps with the sorting and giggles happily. "Thank you for letting me help!"

Ami sits there watching jealously as she too wants to help and sits next to the girl as soon as she finishes her food she tries to get up.

Sachi grabs Ami's yukata and glares at Ami. "You will stay here and get started on the assignment. You are the one that needs the most help." 

Miyuki eats her food and the gifted egg rolls. "Goshisousama." She starts to clean up the trays and leaves the room with the cleaned-up trays. "I will be back." 

"Gochisousama." Gabriel placed his tray to the side and looked at the assignments that Amelia was sorting through. "What can I help you guys with?"

Amelia finished sorting all the pages and patted Mayumi on her head. "You were a great help. Thank you, Mayumi." She got up and looked at the assignments that were left. "I have a question about this." Amelia pulled out a page and showed the words to Gabriel. 

"Ah, that was a trick question. The teacher thought that it would be a challenge and wanted to see how students would solve it." Gabriel took her pencil and started to write out the equation to get the answer. 

"Oh, I see. Now I understand it very well. Thank you for showing me." Amelia smiled and placed it in the hand into the teacher pile. "Since all my assignments are done I am going to work on the needlework. I am way ahead of my classes. The teachers even help me with keeping ahead." 

"Amelia isn't the top student for nothing. She works so hard and is even honoured by the teachers. I think that they have offered you numerous times to place you ahead. All you had to do was your exams. That is if I remember correctly?" Sachi places her hand on her cheek.

"It is true but I did not want to leave you two behind. I would be rather lonely in my classes. You two brighten my day." Amelia pulled out the needlework.

Sachi shakes her head and pulls out an assignment and starts to write it out. While Ami sits there staring at the assignment that she was supposed to hand in tomorrow. "I really don't understand this! Why do I need to learn all of this?"
