At Chizuru's house, it is entirely dark until lights turn on and shine down directly on Touma, Chizuru, Lucy, Ryuji, Kitaro, Hisana, Alice, Suiyoubi, Haru and Sugawara. Lucy and Chizuru sit at the ends of the long table with the others on the sides. They all have serious looks as they sit in silence.
Chizuru "I have called you all here today for one reason. Operation Shigaya."
Kitaro "Yeah, what was that again?"
He asks casually as the others look upset.
Alice "Kitaro! It was our plan to get Shiori and Hikigaya together! Even if Hikigaya is kinda really lame."
She says sitting back in her chair.
Kitaro "Right, got it. Proceed."
He says slightly sarcastically. Chizuru sighs as the dramatic lighting goes away.
Chizuru "As you all know, New Year's Eve is right around the corner. And what better time to inspire love than during New Year's Eve??"
She asks excitedly. The others smile and nod.
Lucy "I'm sure we can all tell that Shiori and Hikigaya are madly in love with each other but things are taking a bit too long. So we thought we'd give them a little encouragement. Suiyoubi?"
She looks at her with a smile as Suiyoubi nods a bit and reaches down into her bag.
Suiyoubi "Now this request was a little outside my expertise so there may be a couple side effects I am unaware of but nothing we should be worried about."
She pulls out a small bottle filled with pink liquid.
Suiyoubi "Here it is. The Love Potion!"
The others look in awe as Mormo climbs to the table.
Mormo "Trust me when I say this, this gorl knows what she's doing so this is definitely gonna work."
Kitaro "Look, I'm all down for helping them realize their feelings but drugging them doesn't seem like the best way to go about it."
Suiyoubi looks shocked.
Suiyoubi "Don't refer to my spells in such a manner, that's very rude!"
Hisana "It doesn't count if they're already in love."
Touma "Are we sure they definitely love each other though? What if Shiori only likes him as a bestfriend or something?"
Chizuru "Oh, they definitely love each other."
She says with a silly smirk as Lucy snickers. Kitaro shrugs and leans back.
Kitaro "Sounds good to me. Could be a fun watch."
Chizuru smiles and looks at the group.
Chizuru "Okay, here's the plan. First, Hisana, Lucy and I are gonna hangout with Shiori the day of…"
She trails off as it fades to Shiori and Hikigaya's house early on New Year's Eve. There's knocking at their front door so Shiori answers it. There, Hisana, Lucy and Chizuru stand while smiling with two large tote bags. Shiori is surprised.
Shiori "Guys, what are you doing here?"
Chizuru "It's New Year's Eve! Why wouldn't we be here?"
Hisana "Yeah, we came to doll yo-"
Lucy quickly grabs Hisana and covers her mouth nervously.
Lucy "Oh yeah, you know, play dolls and… stuff?"
She answers nervously and is confused by her own answer. Shiori stares at them for a moment.
Shiori "I didn't know we were hanging out. Are the others coming?"
Chizuru shakes her head happily. Shiori smiles then sweats a bit.
Shiori "Oh wait, I can't… I told Hikigaya we'd hangout today. We even thought about visiting the shrine later. You guys can join us if you want?"
Lucy "Oh don't worry about Hikigaya, we're way cooler than he is."
Chizuru "Yeah! I think he'll find something to do."
Hikigaya steps down the stairs and looks at Shiori in the doorway.
Hikigaya "Who is it- Woah, hey wait-!"
He shouts as three figures dressed in all black and masks grab him and put a bag over his head. The big figure being Touma, the one bagging him is Ryuji and the last one being Haru. Haru looks around as they grab Hikigaya before bolting upstairs. Touma holds him under his arm as they run through Shiori's room and jump off the patio swiftly. Shiori looks back confused.
Shiori "Hikigaya?"
Chizuru "Come on, let's go upstairs!"
They take her hand and head inside, closing the door behind them. Down the street, Haru, Ryuji and Touma run hastily away from their home.
Haru "I can't believe that actually worked! She didn't even notice us!"
He shouts while taking his mask off. The others follow suit. Ryuji and Touma look nervous.
Haru "I should just become a full time ninja! Hyahh!"
He shouts while kicking in the air.
Ryuji "I wouldn't go that far…"
Hikigaya "Hey! What are you guys doing?! Let me go!"
A mother on the other side of the street watches nervously as her child points at the group with a smile.
Child "Look mommy! Ninjas!"
Mother "Don't look at them, just look ahead."
She says while rushing away. Touma notices and sweats nervously.
Touma "Uh guys, we should probably lose the disguises. People are starting to get suspicious."
Haru "What are you talking about? We only kidnapped somebody dressed in costumes. How is that suspicious?"
Ryuji "Touma's right. I don't want to run into a Peace Officer then-"
As they run, from around the corner comes an officer eating a donut. He notices the group and puts his hand out while shouting at them.
Officer "Freeze you!"
They halt and look nervous.
Officer "What's going on here?"
He asks demandingly. The group hesitates to answer before Haru steps forward.
Haru "Heh, now you're never gonna believe this but we kidnapped our friend to-"
The officer gets wide eyes before drawing his taser and pointing it at them.
Officer "Kidnapped! Put your hands up!"
Touma puts one hand up as Haru does as told when Ryuji, with a worried look, dashes towards the officer and jumps over him.
Ryuji "I'm sorry about this!"
He then grabs the officer's hair and to everyone's surprise, it comes completely off revealing a shiny bald head. Everyone is stunned as the officer panics.
Haru/Touma 'His hair came off!'
They think as Ryuji throws the wig across the street. The officer covers his head and looks around for the wig.
Officer "No, my wig! You brats, as soon as I get my wig you're all coming with me!"
He shouts while running towards his wig.
Ryuji "Come on!"
He shouts as they rush off down the street. Haru covers his mouth to try and restrain his laughter before laughing out loud.
Haru "Did you see his head? It's totally smooth! Haha!"
Touma "This really isn't the time to be laughing…"
Hikigaya "Guys, if you don't put me down, I'm so killing all of you!"
He shouts as they run off.
Later that night, the girls are hanging out in Shiori's room. She lays on her back letting out a sigh of relief.
Shiori "Ah~ That was so good! You should cook for me more often. I always end up suffering whenever it's Hikigaya's turn to cook…"
She thinks of a time while staring at a plate of food he made her. Hisana smiles at her.
Hisana "Living together must be nice. It's like you guys are already married."
Shiori blushes and sits up.
Shiori "No way! It's not like that!"
They giggle at her as she blushes in embarrassment. Lucy then looks at Chizuru who nods at her as she nods back.
Lucy "Hey, it's getting pretty late already. Do you guys wanna maybe hit the Year Shrine? Could be fun."
Chizuru "Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!"
Hisana "Yeah, the others should be waiting there too, right?"
Chizuru and Lucy shush Hisana who looks confused. She looks at them with doubt but doesn't resist.
Shiori "Okay, I'm down. Let me just grab my jacket, it's really cold tonight."
Suddenly, Lucy and Chizuru jump on Shiori and hold her down on the bed with happy smiles. Shiori gets concerned and struggles a bit.
Shiori "What are you guys doing??"
Hisana then slowly stands over her while holding a small bottle of makeup foundation and a makeup sponge. Shiori begins to sweat and look nervous.
Shiori "H-hey now. You don't have to do this."
Hisana "No but I really want to."
She says happily before beginning to put makeup on Shiori. She screams dramatically. Eventually, they finish and do her hair. They smile as they sit her gently in front of a large mirror.
Lucy "See? That wasn't so bad."
Chizuru "Just a little something extra."
She opens her eyes softly as she looks at herself in the mirror. She blushes as she admires her new look, makeup, hair and all. Her eyes begin to shine.
Shiori "Guys…"
She smiles happily as Chizuru lifts up a kimono for her.
Chizuru "We're not done yet."
Shiori changes as Lucy ties up her waist bow. Shiori looks at herself and smiles before doing a little spin.
Shiori "It's so cute."
She says happily while looking at the others. Chizuru smiles, admiring her as the others smile in satisfaction.
Chizuru "Don't worry, we brought one for everyone!"
She says with a smile as Hisana holds up two more. Shiori looks surprised.
Shiori "Even Lucy?"
Lucy "Oh no, that's way too soft for me. I'm just support."
Chizuru "Actually…"
Lucy turns around with a surprised look as Chizuru pulls a third kimono from her tote bag. Lucy blushes and gets upset.
Lucy "No way! I am not wearing that."
Shiori "Come on! If I have to then you do too."
Hisana "I'm sure Ryuji would like it."
Lucy "Nope."
She says while crossing her arms. The girls look at each other before looking back at Lucy. Suddenly, they are in a big scuffle on the floor trying to get her to wear it.
