The festival is usually held on July 7, and celebrates the meeting of Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair). The Milky Way, a river made from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year. This special day is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar. ~Wikipedia: Tanabata"Another 15 minutes to Tanabata. Make a wish and you'll meet your true love. Come on, I'll make one on your behalf." her message read.
This is not just any Tanabata but one of significant meaning; it's 07 July of the year '07 and yet I wouldn't realised it's Tanabata if not for the message.
Make a wish. Make a wish.
Oh great. How do you make one?
I don't know. I don't know. Just make a wish for goodness sake.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not going to screw this up.
Okay, okay. Don't panick.
0000 hours. Made a wish anyway. Though I can't recall exactly how I phrased it.
"Can't see any stars. It's too cloudy!" she complained.
Uh, am I supposed to have made my wish to the stars? Gosh, I just made one to the walls.
Shucks. I screwed up alright. There goes the 07.07.07 Tanabata!
