Christmas is near and Haruna wants to do something nice for Yoh to repay him for all the help he has given her. After she finds out he wants to spend Christmas with her, she freaks! She starts running ideas by his friends and family of what he likes and doesn’t like. She also took him shopping to secretly get present ideas. When she found out how much what he liked would cost, she got a part-time job, along with Yoh’s sister, Fumi. The only problem with that was she worked too hard and got let go. Luckily, she got enough money to plan a “perfect” Christmas day. She takes the ideas that she got from several places, including Fumi, who seems to have her own agenda. Haruna asks Fumi what she should wear and Fumi takes her to an expensive clothing store for the perfect outfit. This comes with a price, though. So does the trip to an expensive hairdresser. When Christmas day comes, Haruna’s plans are put into action. All does not go as planned. Her exited personality doesn’t take into account the timing of a few of the things. Part of Haruna’s plans was to bake and give Yoh a cake. She does bake the cake, but something happens before she could give it to him, something that makes her so nervous that she gets all tongue-tied around Yoh, and keeps running away from him. Yoh actually gets angry at her for ignoring him, and starts doing things to get back at her. For example, he seems to start dating her best friend. Haruna tries everyting to rectify the situation, even asking Fumi for advice. Eventually, after many comedic mishaps and misunderstandings, Haruna can talk to Yoh and they come out of this better than they did going in.
