FIVE ⌘ Yotsuba and Running Away [Written?|Action]

[Otonashi left yesterday. That meant that now Yotsuba was stuck in a house with that loser Naoi. The fact he was really kind a little while back at the beach but now he's really mean again is more than a little confusing to the girl. Yuri is still here but right now all Yotsuba is thinking of is the bad stuff. Namely no more Otonashi and lots more stupid, mean Naoi.

What she does next seems like a brilliant idea! This will totally bring Otonashi back and make Naoi be nice again, and if it doesn't then oh well at least she's not living in the same house as him anymore.

This badly scrawled message appears on the journals:]

[Now then! If she's running away she needs lots of important things. For one her pink fluffy coat that Jack gave her to keep warm, a ton of food from the fridge, the viking helmet and fishing pole thing that Hiccup got her, the cicada plushie Otonashi left for her...

It isn't until she tries leaving the house with all her belongings that she realises this is a bad idea. So instead she settles on the coat and the plushie. Sacrifices have to be made if you're running away! Sadly these sacrifices also include her journal so she won't be replying to her little goodbye message.

Morning
This is a great idea! Running away from home is the best thing she's ever decided to do! Otonashi will be trying to find his way back now and Naoi is probably feeling really bad about pulling her hair and telling her to shut up all the time. Yuri is probably shouting at him for it too! Haha, yes, running away has solved everything! Yotsuba happily marches around the village with a big smile on her face, more than a little proud at how she thinks her plan is going.

Midday
Hungry... Why didn't she bring some food with her? Maybe she'll wander on over to Seventh Heaven and see if she can get some food from there, they make awesome pancakes after all. Or maybe the bakery! Or she could settle for staring at passers-by with big, open eyes until they give her something to eat. Screw taking candy from strangers she's hungry!!

Afternoon
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. Now she's getting cold. And hungry again. And Otonashi hasn't come back and found her yet... She wants to go home. The problem is Yotsuba has wandered so far away from home by this point that she's in a part of the village she doesn't even recognise. Now she's lost, cold, hungry and really upset. How is she going to get home now?]

Waaaaaaaah!! Yotsuba wants to go home!! Wanna go hooome!!

Yush!! Yotshooba ish mynamuh!

[That was... Something. Allow her to swallow this mouthful and try again. It's bad manners to talk with your mouthful anyway.]

Excuse me! Yes, Yotsuba is my name! Yotsuba Koiwai. [Small child was hungry and wandered in all by herself because she's old enough now to run away from home and get her own food! Also yeah, no parent figures anywhere. Such is the life of a runaway, no support from parents! ...Just nice chefs.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Yotsuba-chan~! [Yep, he's already slapped on a "-chan", sue him. This is how Sanji rolls.] My name's Sanji.

[Now, down to business.] You must be pretty old, if you can come here without anyone to look after you.

Hiya Sanji, it's nice to meet you! [--And your wonderful cooking.]

Yotsuba is... [Six! Wait, no, five. She's five. It's cool, she's got this.] Five years old! Otonashy will come and look after me! [Even though he's gone now. BUT THAT'S HER AWESOME PLAN YOU SEE, he'll come back and take care of her.]

[... Five years old and alone? Sanji dislikes this Otonashy dude]

Oh? Maybe we should give him a call. [So Sanji can pull him aside and "politely" chew his ass out] I'd be he'd like some pancakes too.

[Otonashi is the best though and there's nothing to dislike about him! ...Calling him was not something that crossed her mind but that isn't too bad of an idea.]

Ohhh, do you have his number? Ring ring, it's for you! [...] Yotsuba's journal is back home. Can't call him now.

[Stuffing some banana and pancake into her mouth with a muffled 'yes, he'd love some' being said in there somewhere between chewing and swallowing.]

Not his number, but I'm sure if we send him a message he'll be sure to get it. [Sanji, thankfully, does his have journal, and whips it out while Yotsuba continues to chow down.]

Do you know how to spell his name? [This might end in tears, but Sanji has to ask]

[Spelling is totally a strong point of hers! Ahem.]

O-T-O... Na-shee. Otonashy. That's it.

[What is proper spelling. What are last names... It was a good try?]

[... Sob.

Okay so. There was definitely an O, a T, another O. And an N. A is next? Maybe? Sanji repronounces the name under his breath, getting as far as the S and H before that last letter trips him up. Y or I?

Y'know what? Fuck it. He's going with both under two different filters. Ring Ring, "Otonashi" and "Otonashy".

And what do you know - both filters break. He stares at the results uncertainly before turning his attention back to Yotsuba. Either her spelling was truly atrocious or...]

Neh, Yotsuba-chan. Did this... Otonashi guy leave recently?

Nowy and Yurippe said he left and he went home. Nowy said Yotsuba should shut up for being a brat... But they said he might come back!

[And this is where her plan comes into play.]

If Yotsuba did something really big then Otonashy would come back! So Yotsuba ran away from home so Otonashy would come and look for me.

[Turning back to her pancakes to continue eating now.]

Ohhh, maybe he's looking right now...

... You're running away from home? [Wait? No. No, it doesn't work that way. D8 Aaaaaah.]

Yeah! That's what Yotsuba is doing right now. Oh, don't tell anyone! Except Otonashy, if you see him then you should tell him, okay?

[Nom nom nom, pancakes. Aww they're almost all gone now...]

[Such an honest kid. It's too bad Sanji is a Responsible Adult and isn't about to really let her run away if he can help it.]

Alright, I won't tell anyone. [He makes himself comfortable in the chair across from her] But your housemates are gonna be really worried about you. Your friends, too.

Edited 2012-03-15 02:27 (UTC)

I'll still see my friends, Yotsuba has lots of those! Don't worry, don't worry! And Yotsuba will say sorry to Yurippe later, but if Otonashy comes home then Yotsuba won't need to.

[Finishing up the pancakes and setting down her cutlery on the plate.]

Those were the best ever, good job!

Ah, thanks...

Are you gonna be running away in town?

Yeah! Yotsuba will run all the way to the other side of it, over the bridges and everything. That's really far huh? Yotsuba hasn't been that far yet.

[Then again if she's going over the bridges at some point...]

Are there trolls under the bridges? Tell them Yotsuba doesn't want to be eaten.

[well if she's staying within the confines of the town, that's a little less concerning.

That said...]

Trolls? I've never seen a troll the entire time I've been here. [He lowers his voice] But that might be because I can't see them.

Are they invisabibble?! Ohhh, no wonder you can't see them!

[Quickly ducking her head under the table and looking around. Nope. No trolls.]

It's safe... Maybe!

Thank you for checking, Yotsuba-chwan~!

You should come by more often - never know when those trolls might sneak into my restaurant and steal everyone's food.

They might steal the food?! Oh no, Yotsuba will have to come and stop them! That's really bad Sanji, trolls are bad!

[She will stop the trolls by eating the food they were going to eat. Best plan.]

Yotsuba will stop by every week then and will always say 'I'm home' when I walk through the door!

And that'll stop them for sure, right?

Don't know.

[...]

Yotsuba could fight them? Punch them in the face until they go away and stop eating all the food? [Is violence the solution?!]

[Whoa now. Sanji might be a pirate but tiny children shouldn't go around punching goblins in the face.

Not without adult supervision]

Why don't you try just scaring them off first! I bet they're complete pushovers once they're caught.

Ohhh, okay, so the goblins aren't like goats then. You punch those to stop them eating.

[Or rather only she punches goats to stop them eating and even though she was told off for doing it last time she would totally do it again.

But if they're pushovers she dives under the table and sits on the floor!]

Go away invisible goblins! Raaah! Raaaah!! Oh no, a goblin has your leg Sanji, he's going to eat you!! Yotsuba will save you!

[Insert more 'raaah'-ing and other such noises.]

...

A-aaaah! They've got me!

[Flop. Right onto the floor.]

Hurry, Yotsuba-chan!
