Yuzu is left alone and Kippei's stalker comes up and talks to her. Stalker says that everybody hates her and throws away Yuzu's crayons! Now Yuzu, feeling very insecure, tries everything she can to keep Kippei by her side.

Yuzuyu is asleep for the night. Kippei is still thinking about why Yuzuyu wouldn't tell him what happened to her crayons. The next morning Kippei promised to pick up Yuzuyu right after school. On the way he runs into this old lady that needs help with directions. While Yuzuyu's waiting the girl who got rid of her crayons comes to pick on her some more. Will Kippei make it in time?
