[Having Fun]

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika's in a pretty good mood. She's making new friends, she's adopted the start of a new family, and she got to be really cool and beat that giant monster. Granted, she's still a bit weirded out by using a person as a weapon, but... it was cool!]

[Right now, she's stretched out on the deck, just laying there and looking up at the sky]

(Yoshika eagerly looks around, curious as to how the place differs from the school she went to back in Fuso.)

School's kinda like that all over, isn't it?

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess... Oh, but Tsukasa said he'd tutor me, so I won't fall behind!

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

That's nice of him! He's supposed to help me out with things in the kitchen.

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to help out, too! Grandma taught me to cook a lot of things.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Wow! Can you teach me some recipes? Are any of them Fuso-based ones?

(It wouldn't matter to Yoshika if they were or not, but...she's partial to food from her home.)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I can try! They're just things my Grandma taught me, but they fill you up and give you lots of energy to work!

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

That's great! Thanks a lot, Arika!

(You get a Yoshika-sized smile and hug! 30 points~)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Friends help each other out, right?

[HUG~!]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Always~!

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

C'mon, lemme show you where we practice with our Robes.

[And pulling along again]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Okay!

(Yahoo! The tour continues~)

[Arika leads her to a room set up like an arena, with a bunch of stone pillars scattered around]

Some of our grade is based on our skills with fighting. That's how I got to be 17th ranked!

(Yoshika looks around partly in awe, but mostly eyes filled with worry.)

You weren't hurt during these tests, were you?

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Only a little, but I heal really fast!

[Arika pumps her fist]

Worst I got hurt was when I was fighting when we came out of space. It was sooooo boring only being able to sit around and do nothing.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika smiles in relief once seeing Arika pump her fist.)

But, you got to go up into space! Not many people can say that...

(She would've loved to go up there.)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

It was cool.

[By this point, Arika's pretty much shown her everything she can't get in trouble for, but they still have time for some fun]

Ne, do you like music?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Mmn!

(Nod and relaxing smile.)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

My Grandma taught me this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5e_pP1Wdj4) when I was little.

"Mezame wo matsu kuni no
Mukashi no hanashi
Sasagemashou mune ni
Yadoru hikari
Hoshi ni harukibou
Ashita ga mieru
Ai suru hito yo
Mattete okure"

[Arika sings the first verse, which is all she knows]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika listens intently to Arika's song, clapping loudly once she's finished.)

That was wonderful, Arika! Your Grandma knows very nice songs.

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Grandma said that my mother sang it to me as a lullaby when I was a baby.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

That's amazing...

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I think I remember it, but I don't know.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Maybe I could help you! I wouldn't know it myself, but there have to be some lyrics after yours...right?

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

There might be...

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, we just need to ask some of your other friends! Maybe even look in the library.

(Yoshika wants to help Arika remember her full song~)
