Jotaro had came back to Morioh bringing his seven year old daughter with him this time.

"Koichi," Jotaro started. "Josuke and I need to investigate a stand user, but I can't take Jolyne along. I can trust her with you, do you think it could be something you can handle? It would just be for a few hours."

Koichi stood in the doorway to his home, looking from Jotaro to the young girl who was hiding behind her father's long coat. Looking back at Jotaro, Koichi knew this was a big responsibility and it really meant a lot that Jotaro trusted him with his child, so he had to say something that would completely put him at ease. "Of course Jotaro, I'd be happy to look after Jolyne for a while."

"Thank you." He said to Koichi. Then he knelt down looking at his young daughter. "I need you to behave for daddy's friend Koichi today while I'm busy with uncle Josuke."

Jolyne's eyes look determined as she nodded with a smile. "Ok!"

Jotaro placed a kiss on Jolyne's hairline and told her he loved her, before leaving.

"Uh, Jolyne why don't you come inside? Do you want some juice?"

"Oh yes!" She said hopping inside. Koichi led Jolyne into the kitchen and grabbed a juice box from the fridge. "Here you go." He said handing it to her.

"Thank you." She said puncturing the box with the straw and took a sip.

Koichi didn't have any plans for the day, and his mother and sister wouldn't be home until later so it seemed he would be on his own to look after the seven year old.

"Ah, what a cute puppy!" Jolyne gasped as she began to pet the Hirose family bloodhound.

"Oh that's Police, he sleeps a lot, he's a very good dog."

"Good doggie." Jolyne smiled as she continued to pet the dog. "I like him."

Koichi wracked his brain trying to think of something he could do with Jolyne that she would enjoy when there was another knock on the door. Koichi went over to answer it.

"Oh Yukako, hi!" He greeted his girlfriend warmly.

"Koichi-kun! I was free today and wanted to know if you wanted to spend the day together."

"I would love to, but I promised Jotaro I would watch his daughter, Jolyne." Koichi replied pointing to the little girl knelt down petting the dog, juice box in hand.

Yukako's eyes lit up, and a noticeable smile spread across her face. "She's so cute." She told Koichi. "Hi Jolyne!" She said waving at the child.

Jolyne waved back, sipping her juice box.

"Koichi, can I help you babysit?" She asked not taking her eyes off of the sight of Jolyne petting Police.

"Sure, but he just dropped her off a few minuets ago, so I haven't really had any time to figure out what we could do yet." Koichi told Yukako, scratching the back of his neck.

"How about the park? I'm sure she'd love it!"

"That's a great idea!" Koichi responded happily, before turning toward Jolyne. "Jolyne, does a trip to the park sound fun to you?"

Jolyne sprung up and bounded towards Koichi. "Yes!"

"Alright Jolyne, can you say hi to my girlfriend Yukako, she'll be coming with us."

"Hi!" Jolyne smiled. "You are Kochi-san's girlfriend? You are very pretty!" She said with such sincerity, making Yukako blush slightly.

"Have you been to the park in Moroh before?" Yukako asked, as all of them stepped from the house.

"Me and daddy walk past it on the way to uncle Josuke's house but we haven't had time to go yet." She says jumping down the porch stairs.

The three of them walked to the park Jolyne walking between the two teenagers. She told the older ones all about different things, favorite color, things she liked to do with each of her parents, favorite sea animal, and such.

At the entrance to the park they throw out the empty juice box in a nearby trash can. "Is there a playground?" Jolyne asks taking Koichi's hand and swinging it back and forth.

"Yes there is, we'll have to look for it." He replies.

"Yukako, if there's swings can you push me!?" She asks grabbing Yukako's hand with her free one, also swinging it.

"There are swings, so of corse I can." She replies with a giggle.

"Yay!" Jolyne says with a jump.

In a short time, the three of them reached the playground, and Jolyne let go of the teenagers hands and ran ahead, towards the slide.

"It's still a little funny to think Jotaro is old enough to be a father." Koichi said looking at his girlfriend. "I mean I know he's 28 but, I guess it's just a odd concept."

Yukako shrugged. "It seems like a normal age to me, that means he was 21 when she was born." She thought for a moment, as they continued walking towards the slide where Jolyne was playing. "Koichi, don't take this the wrong way..."

"What is Yukako-san?"

"Do you think, that you, ever want to be a father? Like, I'm not asking because of any actual reason, but hypothetically! You would make a good father!" Yukako asked in a rush, running her fingers through her hair nervously.

Koichi blushed. "I honestly haven't given it much thought, but maybe when we get older..."

"I-I didn't say anything about me!?" Yukako almost stammered.

"I know, but I did." Koichi said blushing even more.

"Koichi, Yukako! Watch this!" Jolyne shouts from the top of the slide, grabbing the over head bar before slinging herself down the slide.

"Jolyne!" The two teenagers yelled before running towards the bottom of the slide. But Jolyne slid off the slide on her feet into a squat position, with her hands stretched out in front of her. "Ta-Da!" She said to the older two who were now very close to the bottom of the slide. "Can you push me on the swing now Yukako?" She asked looking up at the taller girl.

Yukako sighed with relief. "Of course." Walking over to the swing set with the seven year old.

As she began to push the little girl on the swing, Jolyne continuously chanted, "Higher! Higher!" So Yukako did so.

"Careful Yukako, remember you're very strong!" Koichi reminded his girlfriend, knowing that sometimes she forgot her own strength.

The swing was almost at the highest point without actually flipping all the way around, and Yukako actually was starting to realize that it might have been a mistake.

"I'm gonna jump!" She shouted.

"NO!" Yukako yelled at her.

"Jolyne please don't!" Koichi yelled.

It was too late once the swing was at its peak she flung herself from the swing.

"Echoes Act 3!" Suddenly Echoes appears "Catch Jolyne!" He shouted, pointing at the launched child, and Echos dove under Jolyen and caught her just in time. This knocked over both Echos and Koichi, but Jolyne was safe.

"S-H-I-T!" Echoes mumbled under the child.

"ECHOES!!" Koichi scolded.

"Oh!? Do you have a stand like daddy and uncle Josuke!? Daddy's is named Star Platinum. Daddy said he's a big muscle man!" She says lifting her arms over her head trying to show how big she thought Star Platinum was.

"Can you see my stand?" Koichi said standing up.

"No." She says putting her hand out and touching Echoes arm. "But he's right here, right?"

"Yeah." Koichi replied coolly, realizing that meant that Jolyne didn't hear Echoes profanity.

They played on the playground a little bit longer and a little bit safer (having to talk her out of wanting to jump off the swing again) when suddenly Jolyne's eyes went wide. "I need to go!"

"Go?" Koichi asked.

"To the potty!" She said bouncing in place.

"I should have made her go before we left the house. The juice." Koichi said mostly to himself.

"The nearest bathroom is in the ice cream parlor." Yukako said taking Jolyne's hand and already started leading her the quickest way.

The three of them sprinted to the ice cream parlor, and got Jolyne to the bathroom just in the nick of time.

Yukako waited outside the bathroom stall, while Koichi waited outside the women's bathroom.

Once Yukako and Jolyne exited the bathroom, Koichi was very relived that there wasn't an accident. He'd probably be as embarrassed as Jolyne would be, when he'd have to explain the accident to Jotaro.

"Jolyne would you like some ice cream while we're here?" Kochi asked knowing fully well that she'd probably would want some since they were standing right in the middle of the shop.

The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Yes! I love ice cream! Can I have a strawberry cone!?"

"Of course you can."

Soon the three of them were exiting the ice cream parlor, with ice cream cones in hand.

"Thank you again Koichi!" Jolyne said before licking a drip of her dwindling strawberry ice cream.

They walked back into the park, to get back to Koichi's house.

They were halfway through when Jolyne finished her cone, and noticed a butterfly.

She started to skip and chase after it. Giggling as she did.

"Yukako, you handled that situation very well, when Jolyne had to use the bathroom." Koichi started. "I don't think I would've gotten her there in time, I was starting to panic."

Yukako chuckled. "I'm not sure what exactly came over me, I mean, I usually tend to take charge of situations so I guess I just quickly did that."

They both looked back to where Jolyne had been romping around and noticed she wasn't there anymore.

The both of them started to feel the silent panic start to well up inside them, but before they could call out the little girl's name she's the one who called out first.

"Koichi, Yukako, look at me!" She called out, voice coming from above them.

The two high schoolers eyes followed the voice. Where they found her was in the higher branches of the closest tree.

"Joylne! What are you doing up there?!" Koichi asked a little alarmed.

"I followed the butterfly up here, and I like climbing trees, I do it with daddy sometimes."

"Ok, well do you think you could come down now please?" Yukako asked sweetly.

"Yeah we need to go back to my house so we can meet with your dad, he will back soon." Koichi added.

Jolyne nodded, and started to shuffle her feet, starting her way down. Soon her moments started to make Koichi and Yukako nervous, such as swinging like a monkey from some branches.

That's when Yukako extended her hair bound stand Love Deluxe and grabbed the seven year old.

"Woah!" Jolyne said in awe. Yukako was surprised yet relived that Jolyne didn't freakout.

Yukako gently placed Jolyne down on her feet. "Your hair, it's-!"

"My stand, Love Deluxe." Yukako finished for her. "Yeah it's a little different then, Koichi's or your dad's."

"It's cool though!" She said making Yukako blush.

"Thank you Jolyne. Why don't we go back to Koichi's now?" She said taking the little girl's hand, and Koichi taking her other, so that Jolyne was in the middle.

On the walk back to the Hirose house Jolyne skipped and swung from the older kid's arms. Laughing and telling the older kids ocean animal facts.

When they stepped up onto the porch Jolyne spotted Jotaro walking around the corner. "Daddy!" She cried before jumping from the top step and running her way over to him.

Jotaro knelt down letting his small daughter crash into his arms in a hug. "Did you have a fun time?" He asked with a smile.

She stepped back to looked up nodding enthusiastically. "So much fun! Koichi and Yukako took me to the park and then even got me ice cream!"

"That sounds fun. What kind of ice cream did you get?" He asked scooping her up in his arms and walking towards Koichi and Yukako who were still standing on the porch.

"You have to guess!" She said giggling reaching up to touch his hat.

Jotaro held his hat in place with his free hand. "Was is strawberry? That's your favorite."

"Yep and I got it in a cone!" She smiled.

"That was very nice, did you say thank you?"

"Mmh hmm!" Jolyne hummed affirmatively nodding for emphasis.

Jotaro looked at the couple staring at the top of the stairs that he was standing at the bottom of, and bowed his head a slightly. "Thank you very much for watching over Jolyne while I was busy. It really means a lot to me."

"It was no problem Jotaro-san!" Koichi said scratching the back of his head.

"She was really fun and full of energy." Yukako added.

"That's not to much of a surprise." Jotaro said trying to surprise a chuckle, as Jolyne finally was able to remove her father's hat, and place it on her head. "I'm glad you were able to enjoy yourselves. I'll be going now." He said with a wave and started down the walkway. While Jolyne waved wildly to Koichi and Yukako.

From the sidewalk they could hear Jotaro ask, "What else did you do today?"

"I jumped off the swing. Then Echos caught me, that's Koichi's stand like Star!"

"Yeah I've met him."

"Then Yukako's hair helped me from the big tree I climbed!" She told him raising her arms up high.

Back on the porch Yukako and Koichi looked at each other and sighed. Thinking the same thing, they they both really enjoyed the experience, but we're in no rush to get to that point in their own lives.
