rollypolyclover | EIGHT ⌘ Yotsuba and Rainy Days [Video|Action]

When someone is sad you can say you're sorry to them because no one wants to see someone who's sad.

[This is one of the big lessons Yotsuba has learnt this week, sort of. A lot of people have been going home, a lot of her friends have been upset and have told her sorry time and time again even though they haven't done anything wrong. When you smash a window or break something, sure, you can say you're sorry then. It turns out you can say sorry for lots of other reasons too.]

Yotsuba is sorry! Everyone stop being sad, I said sorry. Sorry! Sorryyy!!

[Were it not for a gust of wind picking up and blowing against her window she would have kept repeating herself until she was told to stop or, miracle of miracles, everyone suddenly decided to be happy. Luckily Yotsuba is easily distracted by the bad weather.]

Whoah, awesome! The wind and rain is awesome!! There's rain on the window right now! Isn't that right Mister Cicada!?

[She turns to talk to the plush toy of a cicada in her room. In her mind he's quite the conversationalist and seems to agree, yes, the wind and rain are pretty awesome. Yotsuba nods in response.]

Exactly!! It's awesome! There are going to be lots of puddles to splash in, but we have to wear galoshes. Then we'll be invincible!!

[Wait, what was she talking about again? It was kind of important wasn't it? Uhhh... Damn, it's gone. The thought has passed.]

Sorry, Yotsuba forgot. Leave a message and Yotsuba will get back when Yotsuba remembers, beep!

[With her little message done she's heading outside into the rain wearing her coat and boots to splash around and have fun. If you're out braving the bad weather today you might be able to see Yotsuba running around with her arms up getting completely soaked, not that she seems to mind in the slightest.]

Right! Yotsuba is right, do I get a prize? Make it ice cream, for the girl who got it right!

On a day like today?

How about frozen yogurt, instead.

On a day like today, ice cream in the rain. It's like a dream! [Frozen yogurt sounds pretty good too though, even if she's never had it.] What's that? Yogurt goes in the fridge, not the freezer.

Frozen yogurt is a bit like ice cream, only yogurtier.

Ohhh, yogurtier. [...] Yotsuba likes ice cream more. Yogurtier things are okay. Would frozen yogurt win in a fight with ice cream?

...I think that depends on just how hard frozen yogurt trained.

Not hard, frozen yogurt is lazy and sleeps all day! Ice cream has a job and works hard, brings home the bread even though ice cream doesn't need bread!

...Sounds like frozen yogurt should say sorry.

Sorry for being lazy? You can say sorry for that too? Ohhh... It's good that Yotsuba isn't lazy, Yotsuba is an early getter upper!

If frozen yogurt doesn't say sorry can we eat it?

Seems like a fit punishment.

Okay, it's not sorry then. Frozen yogurt time, it's very yogurty! Make sure you get the strawberry kind for Yotsuba, or chocolate. Or banana, that's good too!

Or all three?

You can do that?! All three at once? That's amazing! Get all three and we can eat all three and be extra frozen yogurty!

Not today, I'm afraid. I have to be going. Soonish.

Ohhh, you do? Are you going to the beach? It's summer, that's when you go to the beach and have fun. You should take Yotsuba too, we can see all the jellyfish.

I wish. Nah. Me? I'm going to get a little work done. Nothing serious. I'll be back before you know it.

[ and this time, hopefully, not smashed to bits. ]

Ohh, work, you're going to work! That's okay, Yotsuba will stay here and house watch. Make sure you wear your tie before you go!

[That's what all businessy worker types need. Neck ties.]

It's not...really the sort of work that involves ties. Not those kinds of ties, at least. But if you insist...?

Ohhh is this... A bow tie day?! That's classy, really classy! Tie it like a bow. Not too big, you need to see! You have to wear it for work!

[ ...oh.

she indulges the girl. why not? ]

I'll wear my very best bow-tie. I promise.

Good! Now you can work right. Make me proud Buffy, Yotsuba will be waiting when you get home. Knock it out of the park, goaaal!

[There are the best words of encouragement she can think of right now.]

And on that note? I'd better get going.

Keep the home fires burning.

Bye!! Bye-bye Buffy, see you soon! Don't catch a cold, nothing is on fire!
