Episode #38 Dokidoki Kiss na Christmas (Thump! Thump! A Kiss for Christmas) Air Date: 12/20/96

Synopsis

Sana begins her preparations for her big Christmas party the next day with Rei and Onda helping bringing in the tree. That day at school, Sana invites the entire class to her house for the Christmas party. That afternoon, Hayama and Tsuyoshi leave so that Hayama can find a present for Sana. While shopping, Tsuyoshi tries to get Hayama to admit to his feelings towards Sana. Hayama refuses and fails to find a gift for Sana.

That night, Sana's party is in full swing with Zenjiro on a date and Naozumi at home at the orphanage. Rei is celebrating in his room with a human dummy with Asako's photo pasted on the face (Asako couldn't make it either). Naozumi calls Sana and gives her her present, a song sang by all the kids at the orphanage. Sana goes off to find Hayama to give him his gift. Hayama opens it to find that Sana got him a model dinosaur.

(This may not seem like much but, we find out that Hayama has another such model that was given to him by his father at Christmas when he was six. At the store they were visiting, Akito couldn't takes his eyes off the toy and his father bought it for him).

Hayama is stunned at the gift from Sana and thanks her the only way he knows how, by telling Sana "I don't hate it". Sana is overjoyed. The party moves outdoors for a snowball fight where Hayama wanders off trying to think of what to get for Sana. Sana notices Hayama crouched over in the snow and goes to investigate. Hayama then gets up to show Sana the snowman he made for her. Sana again is overjoyed. Then it begins to snow, with Sana dancing in the new falling snow, Hayama grabs Sanas hand and then kisses her and leaves.

The next morning, the house is intruded by an army of men in suits and begin to put big "RE-POSSESSED" stickers on evrything in sight.
