Marmalade Boy Episode 11
Birthday Yuu ga watashi wo mitsumeteru
BIrthday Yuu is watching me

Yuu remarks she must be back to normal if she can slap him.  She calls
to him as he leaves the room.  

She closes her exchange diary and is still mortified about her 
experience.	

Yuu comes down to breakfast as if nothing has happened.  She is quiet
and he says he will make her breakfast.  Suddenly the phone rings.
Chiyako is on the phone to wish Yuu a happy birthday.  He is 
suprised she remembered and Miki is angry because he didn't tell her.
He thinks birthdays are no big deal while Miki wants to celebrate his
birthday.  He agrees to let her do whatever as long as it makes her
happy.

She goes shopping to by already prepared food and a cake, but sees a
section with items to make your own cake.  Surely this is something
she can do if she uses a mix.  She imagines a perfect cake and Yuu 
complimenting her efforts.  

Arimi is hiding around the corner from Junk Jungle.  While she cannot
give him a present, she can wish him a happy birthday.  She gathers
courage, turns the corner, and finds that Yuu is not there.  Kijima
tells her that he has taken time off to be with Miki while their
parents are on vacation.  She realizes that they have been alone
since they left.  Immediately, she calls Ginta to tell him the news.

Back home, Miki pieces together a perfect meal.  She takes her cake 
out of the oven, but it falls.  She follow the directions, but did
not read the line to wait a few minutes before removing it from the
oven.  She decides the frosting will cover any mistakes.  After
completing the decoration for the cake, she intercepts Yuu from
coming in the kitchen and ruining her surprise.  He takes some of 
the frosting off her face and leaves.

Miki sets a formal table and tells Yuu to come down in 10 minutes.
She hurries to get dressed, puts on makeup, dabs the perfume on 
for the first time, and wonders if he will notice her new look.

He walks downstairs to a darkened room, and a formal table.  
Realizing he doesn't fit the mood, he is happy with her efforts.
They both look so happy in the candlelight.  He thoughfully
studies her face and she blushes.  He walks over, takes her hands,
and leans in as if to kiss her.

[Eyecatch]

Suddenly the doorbell rings and breaks the mood.  Arimi and Ginta
arrived to wish Yuu a happy birthday while on their date.  Yuu
invites them in and that is the end of the intimate dinner party.
They discover that they are all alone in the house and Arimi and
Ginta are shocked.  They insist that they have done nothing, but
Miki's blush enrages Ginta.  Evidentally Arimi didn't tell him of
the situation.  He grabs Yuu and pushes him against the wall, but
his mood is broken when Yuu demands to know just what he thinks
they have been doing.

Arimi does her best to make Miki jealous but lying about what a
great day they have had.  The doorbell rings and Rokutanda is
at the door (trailing Arimi again.)  Now the intimate evening 
has turned into a party of 5.  He is upset because no one
invited him to the party.

Everyone is impressed with Miki's efforts, but Rokutanda points
out the lopsided cake.  They all toast Yuu on his birthday and
for once the group is content.  Everyone helps clean up.  
Rokutanda finally realizes the living arrangment and asks if
they are shaking up only to receive to blows to the head from
Arimi and Ginta.  No one wants to explain the situation and he
whines because no one will tell them.  The cousins begin to
fight again.  Miki breaks up the argument by saying they should
play cards.  

She goes to her room to find the cards and Ginta follows her.
She blushes to have him in her room and pushes him out into 
the hall.  [Moment plays as he asks her if Yuu has been in her
room.]  He asks her what perfume she is wearing.  He demands to
be let into her room.  She tells him he should be going to 
Arimi's room.  Ginta then tells her that their relationship is
fake.  He would break it all off if she would tell him to.  If
she cannot do that then he will give up on Miki and go out with
Arimi.
