[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]

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~)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I don't know anyone else who knows it, I don't think... Do you think there might be lyrics in the library?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

It's worth a try, right? This way, when we've grown up you'll have a full song to teach your kids!

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I... can't have kids.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...

(Yoshika's expression is crestfallen. Did she bring up bad memories?)

I'm sorry, Arika...!

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika shakes her head]

It was my choice. An Otome must forever swear off falling in love.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Now Yoshika's expression is one of surprise. Never fall in love...?)

...But, why?

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika blushes]

An Otome loses... her qualifications... if she... umm... uh...

[Bright red]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika turns bright red herself once realizing exactly what Arika means.)

...Oh...!

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika nods]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

W-well...there's nothing wrong with falling in love! You just c-can't...you know...!

(Yoshika's still bright red. Subject change?)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Uh, um...

Aa, Yoshika, you fight like Mio and Lynne, right?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika laughs nervously, an embarrassed expression soon evident on her face.)

Actually...my Striker Unit hasn't arrived yet, and, well...I haven't gone through any training yet with Major Sakamoto or Lynne...

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll be awesome! I've worked with Lynne a couple of times, she's really good!

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

Mhm. I feel a bit useless around a lot of the people here. That fight where I helped Tsukasa and Shoutaro was the first time I was really useful.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

But you've been around a lot longer than I have; you're not useless, Arika!

(Yoshika wants to keep her Dad's promise, but she also wants to reassure Arika...)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

I'm only an Otome-in-training. When I become a Meister... then I'll be able to help everyone!

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...I'm in training, too. When I'm old enough, I'll take over my Mom's clinic and help everyone, too!

(She'll be healing them, but...they share the same goal!)

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

[Arika grabbed Yoshika's hand]

We'll both do it! We'll both get stronger and make everyone happy!

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika smiles at Arika, nodding in affirmation.)

Yeah - together!
