Strawberry Panic! – 7

The episode opens with Amane practicing on her horse as her fanclub watches on. She notices that she’s feeling something strange lately, something that she had never felt before. The feeling rears its head when she spots Hikari watching her as well, separated from the rest of the girls. Tomao is discussing the situation with Nagisa in the middle of class, and states that Amane is with out a doubt in love with Hikari. Nagisa just blinks in disbelief (she doesn’t seem to be on the lesbian bandwagon quite yet, despite her obvious infatuation with Shizuma). On the roof of Spica, two girls, one of which sits on the Spica Student Council, discuss the same matter, and reveal that the Student Council lady (they’re both unnamed at this point) is Amane’s rival for Spica’s entry in the Etoile battle. They think that Amane being in love might compromise her running in the contest. Amane finally decides to approach Hikari, who is holding a package behind her back. Before Hikari gets a chance to present her present to Amane-sempai, the fanclub starts to make their way over, and Amane runs off to avoid them. A mysterious blonde is watching nearby, unnoticed by the two. Amane hits the showers, and discovers the blonde waiting for her when she gets out. It turns out she’s Spica’s Student Council President, Shion (for some reason I thought the other one was the president o_0).

Y y'ellow thar!
