Well... if Suzuya, Ikazuchi and the rest hadn't suggested it first, I doubt we'd be doing this now.

Erm... I wonder, too—

Allow me to explain.

Come to think of it, though, this Tanabata, what sort of event is it?

Everyone's fond of festivals and the like after all, in some way or another.

So there are these two people, you see, called Orihime and Hikoboshi. They are a pair of sickeningly sweet lovebirds — both realfags who should really go die in a fire.

The mightily pissed-off gods separated the lovestruck couple from each other.

And so, today on Tanabata is the day when those two get together to make out and have lots of efficient hot s*x while the gods aren't looking.

I think you simplified the story too much. To the point of deviating from the source, somehow.
