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!!

[...you are so incredibly cute Yostuba. He looks around his place for a bit, trying to think of a word. Not that they really needed one-- but she was so cute when she asked. Okay, just the first thing he sees then --]

[~~I SAW THIS COMING~~ Ohhh, birds, she knows all about birds. Mostly ducks. And owls. But those are birds! Allow her to muster all her artistic talent and draw one.

Spoilers: She has no artistic talent.]

[~~BLAME PEACE~~ Oh.

Is that a bird.

Is that what that is.

Give

him a

a moment.

Yeah okay.]

[~~Those art lessons with Pao-Lin sure are paying off aren't they.~~]

[Ohhh that's a good bird. Needs more birds.]

[It looks as though it's in pain.]

[He's no bird doctor but he's been taking medicine classes! He's totally perfect for helping that poor bird!

He even broke out his art materials he's been using to keep on top of lessons with for this. c:]

[Yaaay now the bird is better! When you're healthy you're happy, so Yotsuba draws a smiley face on the bird and also a futon so it looks like the bird is in bed.

The problem is the 'smile' makes the bird look like a mentally challenged old man with a big nose and chin.]

[B...BIRD?]

[Please respond this is Urgent. He'd also feel bad about getting rid of her cute drawing ssso.]

[BIRD! :D]

[She even decided to label it just in case Luca forgets it's a bird.]

[...It's an old bird. Yes. That has to be it. He doesn't look very old though...

A bear and some fuzzy eyebrows should do the trick.]

[...Why does her bird have grey stuff on it?! What did Luca do to it!?

She labeled it a bird, not an old man! Just because she wrote YES! under Luca's question didn't mean she was replying to it or anything HOW COULD HE NOT COMPREHEND HER VERY COMPLEX THOUGHT PROCESSES?!]

[Why are you so rude!! Luca is an Artist he will put whatever he wants on their old bird man bird thing old.]

[But it's not an old man at all anymore it is a bird and birds don't grow grey hair and stuff OR DO THEY?!

Either way her picture is ruined and her muse to draw dead. GJ.]

[W o w you are so volatile, Yotsuba. Even more so than some of the girls he's met... But he supposes he kind of did ruin her picture. Even though he totally made it better. He'll answer her question with his own!!

And a clean slate.]
