rollypolyclover | 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!!

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!

Gyaaaah!! Oh no, oh no, Sanjiii!! Stay with me!!

[Shuffling over and giving his arm a little shake.]

It's okay, Yotsuba will scare all the goblins away and you can be really proud of me!! Who will make pancakes if you go away?!

Are you sure? [he makes a sad little face as he rolls onto his back, peeking at the girl] Yotsuba-chan can really scare them away?

[Because he's terrified here. B| Oh-so-terrified.]

Yes! [DETERMINED FACE.] Yotsuba will scare them all away and come back alive.

Yotsuba will keep Seventh Heaven safe for Sanji so everyone can enjoy his awesome food!

[STANDING DRAMATICALLY-- Ow okay she bumped her head on the table BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO BREAK HER STRIDE.]

Go away goblins, no one likes you!

[WELL SAID. Sanji stills, glancing at his leg like he expects something to happen, and then cautiously draws himself to a sitting position under the table]

... Oi, I think my foot's free! [AND THE DAY WAS SAVED]

Your words worked like a charm~!

[Really, it worked?! Throwing her arms up into a VICTORY POSE!]

Yotsuba knew it would work, all the goblins were really scared. Like a charm!

[Bending over to look at Sanji under the table after this brief moment of basking in victory.]

Is your leg okay, do we need to operate?!

O-operate? [All Sanji can imagine is tiny child + really sharp knives, and his self-preservation kicks on]

No, I don't think that'll be necessary. See? [He even bends it at the knee!] Completely safe and sound.

Okay, no need to operate, you're all okay then! Yotsuba would be really sad if we needed to operate, we just met!

[And nothing says 'first meeting' like pretending to operate on a person's leg.

Just going to shuffle herself under the table alongside Sanji. Looking around.]

...Nice place you got here!

Isn't it? [Just carrying on like this is a completely normal conversation. Yep]

Which is why you should come by more often! I'll make sure to pay you for your troll exterminating services.

[What you mean this isn't normal? All of her conversations tend to jump all over the place from the normal, to the cute and the weird.]

Huh?! So does this mean Yotsuba has a job now?! ...Daddy would be so proud.

... Y'know what?

I think it does! [Snapping his fingers together like they've hit on the best idea in the world] You can be my official Goblin Hunter!

Though it might be tough. Is Yotsuba-chan sure she can handle that big of a responsibility?

[It means she'd have to come in fairly often to check under the tables and then get fed delicious food. Such a tough job]

[Oh gasp responsibility. This really is a big job, perhaps too big...

But nah, she's more than up for it! Ain't no goblin out there that's going to stop her!]

Yotsuba can do this! Call me Yotsuba, Goblin Hunter!

[Maybe she can go make an outfit for being a goblin hunter. Oh, she can wear her biking helmet!]

You can count on me Sanji!

Right! I'm counting on you, Goblin Hunter Yotsuba-chan~!

[HI-FIVE??]

[HI-FIVE!]

And now we fist bump!

[BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO AFTER HIGH FIVES.]

Cool!!

... Fist bump?

[Oh honey, you lost him. He can make an educated guess at what a fist bump is (kinda obvious), but he's never done one before, and so tilts his head in inquiry.]

First bump! You don't know?!

[SHOCKING! But it's not like she knew either before Yuri taught her what to do. Time for an explanation.]

You gotta put your hand out like this, but you have to make your hand into a ball! [/fist clench] See?! And then POW!

[VERY SLOWLY moving her fist forward for the bump part. Done.]

Ta-daaah!

[EXCELLENT. Sanji is now hip and with the times]

Thank you, Yotsuba-chan~! So wise beyond her years~!

I'm really smart, Yotsuba knows how to high five and fist bump and how to use a doorbell too!

[Truly the smartest five year old around.]
