Ch 107: Random Thoughts part 1

Okaaaay, here we go! Staaaaarting with...!!!

'TAP' Hehe, my sweet boy. This first page gave me too much fluffy feelings alone. "Hmm" Tsukasa? Oh... yes! adding it to my collection later

This:

We added a new one to the collection. Yay!

Hmm... I feel bad for him. He feels like he is a bit annoyed by all the searching and only finding: bird nests & gears. Hang in there, Tsu. Much more hardships are coming your way really soon. ♡

Hmm!! My kitty boy!!! I feel sorry for my boy. He can't focus at all! Trying to get where the 'ticking' is coming from & hearing Nene's cries all together... he is already tired of searching in vain, and now ticking and a crying girl are added on top of his chest too... ahhh... Tsuuu... ♡

pffffttt... I said it, didn't I? Nene-chan is going to give you a hard time. it kinda feels like they are taking turns, last chapter he had her over the edge, now it's her turn to get back at him. how fun now I really want to see how little Tsukasa used to throw a fit as little Amane described it I wonder how little Amane used to go: my sweet lil bro ♥ recalling Tsu's fits. That's the power of love for you. XD he still got angry at him that one time when he was sick when Tsukasa went all: "let's go! let's go! let's go!" Show me that researcher T inside of you! Come on, Tsu! I know you can do it! Win Nene-chan over and have lots of fun together as I said you would!

As much as I wanted to see him carrying her like that, a piggyback don't hurt. It's close so I will take it.

Really though... his face... he looks so done. "why are you being so fussy". Indeed. This is the boy who gets annoyed once someone distracts him with what he is doing. But, ooh... Nene-chan is different. He must treat her nicely.~ "no more upside-down." "ok, here" such a good boy!!! He is trying his best to make Nene-chan calm down and 'have fun'.

^^

An upgrade! he looks done with everything there. like.. please... give me some peace I'm begging you. spare me. please be quiet. She got him twice, lol! Go Nene-chan! I'm so happy to see Tsukasa making new different faces!! I'm so here for it!! Bring it out of him!!! AHAHA I never! NEVER expected to see Tsukasa making any kind of a 'I'm done face'!!!! I realllllly wished to see him this way but my hopes weren't so high because this guy is always all 'energetic', smiley and relaxed!!! Thank you, Nene-chan!! I will forever be grateful to you!!! Researcher T wasn't this way, lol. maybe being an experienced researcher helps.

Wow... too many things in here... ok.. let's get to work...

(1) Though, I'm still grateful Tsukasa doesn't seem to take her words to heart. Because if he took that 'I hate you' literally like that time he thought Amane hates him... ehhh.... glad that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm glad he is so done to focus on any of that. He is jsut a really sensitive and emotional boy.

(2) well, that's cute. both call him that. they gave him a sharped nickname.

....

Well, can't say no to that. You have a record Tsu... just make sure to...

... just ask her to go with you normally and nicely next time.

(3)

And, (4)...

Ehh.. it's 'your' turn. Though, hehe, should I take it as the 'opposite'? ~

From this thing you can tell how much 'annoyed' he really is. lol Also, trying the same methods my boy? Not sure Nene-chan will let you have your way with her, just stay put and have it this time. Careful. Hmm. I like it how he is trying to gently put her to sleep as a way of making her 'quiet down'. He is gentle with girls after all, especially if said girl is Nene-chan~ Such a NICE guy. ♡ Ok, so now... your little game is to make Nene-chan stop crying and put her to sleep? I'm sure you can do it, Tsu! one way or another.~ he can handle it just fine when Mit 2.0 or Amane cry... hmm...

See? Told you. ♡ Though I really wonder, was Tsu playing with her or going really too easy on her? I mean... he is so fast... I don't think a little girl, even if it was Nene-chan, is a match for all his unmatched speed. ......

Anyway,

She got back at him for the hell of mirrors thingy She hit Tsukasa!!! AHAHA. Uhhh... how does it feel, Tsu? You're the one tasting that.~ from Nene-chan no less. Don't think Mit 2.0 will ever have the courage to do such thing. He will always go: yes, sir/ Tsukasa- kun scares me/ and.. eh.. as said in this chapter later. 'an obedient yes'... the after school chapter he said he got into a fight with Tsu... wonder how exactly that thing is...

Hmm... how are you doing after that punch, Tsu?

Oh, you're still so done, huh? haha I'm enjoying Tsukasa's faces this chapter way too much. ♡

Hmm... don't think older Nene would do that. At least not for now, as she sees him 'scary', or maybe it changed after this chapter? and.. ok.. Tsu's record with Nene-chan has a punch to the face, a few kicks and fists and a tea splashed into him. I see, I see.

Uhh... little Nene-chan is really cool and fearless. Shouting at Tsukasa and hitting him. Demanding what she wants. Going all out. Hmm... I love it. All of it.

How are you gonna deal with things now, Tsu?

My... she kinda talks like little Tsu... with this 'cuz'. Glad to see her recalling the information. Having Tsukasa not too bothered with what she said is eye-catching. He gets she knows this fact, from him (ch 105), and? previously his assistant, and seems to have a backup plan at mind, not too bad for my boy. He knows lots of stuff we don't. The inside of his head.~ Anddd...

He is like... 'please just stop. let's take a break'. Thinking about Nene... if she was her older self she might enjoy this grip. Now, trying this on her again, Tsu...

AHAHA. Wow... really... a lesson to never piss off little Nene-chan or make her angry. ♡

Nene-chan calling him a big bully... hmm... you don't mean that... He is nowhere near that. He is so nice. You'll see how nice he is in a few moments.~

mit 2.0... haha. how funny Never expected to see Tsu going "sheeh". lol don't think T would go like that, again Also, see? Nene-chan? He did nothing a bully would do. He is just trying to understand how to deal with you and then do things nicely. "What can I do for you to make you feel better, little one?"

exactly like in here. ♡

Uhhh!! One of the things I really enjoyed in this the chapter was to see Tsukasa talking with Kokujoudai and trying to handle stuff together!!! They seem to have asked him to babysit her! babysitting your assistant is surely a fun thing to do. what a nice master we have there ~ being a dad is pretty hard And... Tsu.. you sure? don't you babysit Mit 2.0, even now? "Do what your mom used to do". I really like Red koku this chapter. Hmm... Tsu doesn't seem to remember much from a long time ago. Though, I'm afraid I will be coming back to this... after Tsu's backstory to start crying... especially with how she might have treated him after he was 4...

After that, seems an idea came to your mind, Tsu? ♡

Not too sure about that, but it works perfectly well with you and Nene-chan. So, all is good. What a glorious page. ♡♡ Did he tie up the owl's beak? lol He is treating it like a 'horse' in there. How cool of him. Riding a big flying owl just to make a little girl happy and have fun. Such a good boy!!! See, Nene-chan? He is so nice! ♡

See, Nene-chan? See where he is ready to go to insure you're having fun? told you you'll have loooooots of fun with Tsu, after all... he has a natural talent in making things so muuuuch fun. Never a dull moment with him around! Lucky you! ♡

love how he is holding her!! "I see"... that gentle, pleased face!!! TSUUU!!! MY GOOD BOOOY!!! loooove his face!! He is so pleased to see her having fun and laughing!!! ♡

Them laughing and having fun together next!! oooh!!!!!!

the owl... it's fully tied up now and Tsu is sitting on it. lol Love their different reactions. Energetic Tsu is really so done. Seeing energetic Tsu out of energy is so funny. Love how he is sitting!!! oooh!!!

She is overjoyed Tsu!! She is so very happy!! You made her sooooo happyyyyyy!!!!!!! ♡

I'm surprised to see Tsu going like that and his "what are you, an alarm?/ how sassy (ironic)" ... I mean...

She is just like you. ♡ but you're being so done with things... sooo...

LOL. He said it!!! "I'm done" AHAHA "take over for me, Kokujoudai" aaaaaah!!! their reaction!!! I want to know from where did Red koku get that thing lol.. and blue koku... it's for a good cause. you're so good! reminds me of Teru grabbing Red koku and getting his hand burned. it's up to them who they want to be grabbed by. hehe

It seems we owe Tsu an apology. For calling him so chaotic and all... ehhh… Nene took the medal. She got him feeling so done. Though maybe, I think if the setting was different, and things were just normal, they would be going all out. Both of them.

I'm a bit confused here, so was he siniging to help her calm down or was he singing to cool off or was he singing this in particular because Nene's class was playing 'wizard of oz' and he got some nostalgic memories, or does he sing it from time to time casually or all these things together?

[poprocksmbabie]

sigh. sigh. is it rewatch time.

(yes)

Yk now I can cry over it but I swear when I first watched it, deku crying to inko pointing to the all might video……he looked so much like mineta I could never cry at it

I will say the one thing I feel bad for bakugo about is the fact that he quite literally had no one to talk to about the huge block keeping him back, the fact that deku WAS QUIRKLESS. He really had to keep that all to himself until it all came apart at DvK2…….hmmmm. Like he really just had to take “this quirk was given to me” as an answer and go on like nothing happened. I mean he did say fuck it that it doesn’t change things for him but like ehhh. Even after all that. At the end of every roadblock it all came back to ‘how the fuck did he get a quirk.’ hm.

like he fr just said "fuck you i'm over it" ... i must say he did an excellent job of fooling everyone into thinking he's some brainless guy who doesn't care, bro does not EVER forget a SINGLE detail... motherfucker said "oh whatever you just beat me today that's all it was" acting like the rest didn't matter to him and here he comes up months later FUCK!!!!!!

"fortunately he didn't take it seriously" yeah you THOUGHT

dekus world getting rocked by the fact that bkg can get teased is SO FUCKIGN FUNNYYYYYY

kamimomojirou since day ONE BABEEYEYYY

dear lord i got to season 2 all might's letter to gran torino thinking about. like after the public has found out about ofa omfg could you imagine stephanie soo type conspiracy mukbang videos being made after LMFAO "and here's where it gets even CRAZIER the letter they found right? that was to his master in high school? so the previous user's child was shigaraki's grandma but his GRANDPA was the GUY IN THE LETTER"

todoroki was so damn dramatic gotdamn. literally unwarranted

forgot for a second how fucking funny tetsutetsu being there is RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS

sometimes i wonder if that part was just lazily written or what cause if I saw a landmine like that my FIRST thought is how do I use this as a rocket ...

bkg peeping in on the endeavor talk will never not be funny esp knowing how he is in s5, likeHHEUQUZUFHJE ‘this was the wrong convo i shouldn’t have come here i shouldn’t have come here’

I will always love the detail of bkg giving ocha back the charred jacket :[ do i care for kcchk? not much but gotdamn … gotta love those two … also it’s the fact that bkg even went “yea I know ur friends w fucking deku” HE’S SO ANNOYED AT THEM HAJSHIFHAJAHAA

when todoroki was trauma dumping and bakugo said “but Actually though WHO CARES” he was so real for that

not to be dramatic but wow i started bawling at todoiida again. like what the fuck you’re telling me todoroki who has literally not made a single connection to anyone in his class saw the pain that iida was in that even iida’s own friends at the time couldn’t tap into.

man … when deku was tryna understand how to be less stiff with ofa he thought of bkgs moves … sighhh sighhghggghhhh

the real question is what kind of microwave doesn’t fucking turn. the biggest epiphany for deku that took a season and a half was from seeing how a normal microwave works.

(At the time of this, chapter 385 has been released) rewatching stain arc rn is CRAAAZYYYY

back to todoiida like the opening bro the fact that deku is turning around to check on iida whereas todoroki had his eyes fixed on him the whole time HE KNEW FROM THE STAAAAART

“Just one date. I promise. You won’t regret it.”

IF AT FIRST HE  didn’t succeed, he tried and tried and tried again. Hayley had learned from previous relationships, ones that burned bright at the start and fizzled to ash within a month or more, that the chase was the fun part. Guys enjoyed chasing what they couldn’t seem to obtain, and that included her, or so she believed. It extended even to Stefan, who seemed so different than the rest. He was more earnest, gentle, kind, and caring than anyone she knew. He wasn’t giving in so easily, wasn’t taking no for an answer even after so many refusals, and didn’t relent or bristle for a second. What would have rung warning bells in her mind for any other person that wasn’t the strapping Salvatore brother, only weakened her to the point that his latest plea for a date had her faltering, deterring from her typical refusal. She breathed a soft exhale, single corner of her lip turning upward just as her head lowered in a gentle nod.  “Okay. Just one date… and depending on how this date goes, maybe I’ll consider another.”

every time I pass Daredevil on Netflix and it starts playing the trailer again all I hear in my head is coldplay singing “oh take me back to the staaaaart”

[naireides]

bellarke peaked in s2 (2x05 imo) and it’s been a steady downhill ever since and us blarkes refuse to admit it [coldplay voice] oh take me back to the staaaaart

tbh a lot of blarkes who’ve been around since 2015 are over them. we know they’re dead. blarke is never happening.

C:R ~VE~ Chapter 12

I have mentioned previously that I’m a heavy sleeper.

This was fortunate, as it’s been made obvious by this point that Nemo is not only loud when he is awake, but also when he’s asleep.

I slept through his snores, but I groan as soon as I feel his warmth move away from me.

I feel a soft weight on me, and realize that Nemo has once again let me use his jacket as a replacement companion.

Then, a few soft strands of his hair touch my cheek, and I feel his breath on my ear.

“Sleep well.”

The softness of his voice makes me burn.

He strokes my hair until I relax again, like I was a small child being lulled to sleep.

But this isn’t time for me to sleep.

“It hasn’t been eight hours...” I murmur.

Nemo quickly takes his hand away from my head.

“Polly-chan....” he whines. “The sun is already uuuuuuup. Don’t tell me you’re still feeling feveriiisshhh...”

Not wanting to risk more ‘bed rest’, I sit up and look over at him.

He hasn’t put on his goggles yet, so I can see him in the full sunlight coming in through the window.

He’s agonizingly beautiful, and I feel my chest tighten.

“Bonjooooooour~” though the disparity between his appearance and his booming voice is startling, that wide smile can belong to no one else but Nemo. “Did you sleep well, my friend?”

“I did,” I reply. “How are you feeling, Nemo?”

Nemo’s still smiling, but his eyes look incredibly sad. “Some things will take more than a night of sleep to heal, but it’s remarkable what a soft bed and bosom com~pan~ion can do.”

I return his sad smile and pick up his jacket. When I offer it to him I say, “I know that there will never be anything I can do to truly take away your pain, but... please know that I’m here for you. I always will be.”

Nemo shakes his head. “Thank you, but... please, don’t say ‘always’. Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Aronnax. We never know what will greet us with each sunrise...”

He sounded so incredibly sad, so it’s a bit of a shock when he suddenly jumps up and screeches, “EXCEPT FOR SCIENCE!! My COOOOOONSTANT COMPANION! Yes! From the morning birdsong to the rosy huuuuuuuuuue of the clouds, it’s all GLOOOOOOORIOUS SCIENCE!”

He stretches out his arms and happily does a spin before leaning down and facing me. “Well, what do you say? Shall we get staaaaarted?”

“With that enthusiasm, how can I say anything but ‘yes’?” I say. I begin to hand him his jacket when a thought occurs to me. “By the way... have you been wearing lavender oil lately?”

Nemo grins. “Hmmm~ that’s another beautiful product of science, isn’t it?”

I smile and hand the jacket to him. “Thank you for this. I had no idea I was so... clingy in my sleep.”

“Ahahahahahaaa!! We have so little control over ourselves when we sleep that we can’t help but express our innermost desiiiiiires...”

Nemo walks over to my writing desk where he’s folded the clothes he discarded before bed.

“Fuhuhuhuhu... so Polly-chan’s innermost desire is to be su-per cu--te ❤!”

I fling a pillow at him (”WAGHH!”).

“Now you’re just teasing me! Come on, there’s work to be done!” I throw off the bed covers and stand up.

“Mm-hmm, riiiiight right...” Nemo pulls his hair over his shoulder and begins to roll his shirt up.

Ah.

Yes, he’s definitely taking off his shirt.

“W--W-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING---???” my voice echoes through the room before I can stop myself.

“Hrrmm?” Nemo has his shirt around his head now before pulling it off (he even provides the ‘pop’ sound effect when his head reappears).

Society dictates I should look away, and I do, but... the image is already burned in my mind.

He’s so slim, with a beautiful stomach and chest toned by years of tinkering and carrying heavy pieces of metal. His navel is pierced, which shouldn’t surprise me given the heavy modification on his face, and yet I’m surprised all the same.

I’m also surprised to see how low his pants are cut. His hips are slim, but still have a feminine curve that add to his allure.

I know I’ve said it before, but he’s absolutely stunning.

“Polly-chaaan....”

I slowly look back at him, my mouth set even as my cheeks heat up.

His smile is way, way too wide.

“Don’t tell me......... you’re absolutely speeches because of my STUUUUUUUUUUUNNING PHYSIIIIIIQUEEEE???”

He slams one of his feet on the chair and points triumphantly into the sky.

“I... I’m really more curious as to why you’re undressing in my room,” I manage to stutter.

“Ehhhh?” Nemo takes a step back. “I’m going to go freshen up in the showers, of coooooourse!”

“Oh, o-of course...” I look away again. “Um.....”

He leans over so he’s at my height, looking at me with a grin too wide for his face. “Polly-chan has studied anatomy, hasn’t sheeeee....? My, for you to still be so innocent... our bodies are crafted by S-C-I-E-N-C-E--! It’s only naturaaaaaaaaal!”

What happened to our serious conversation earlier?! And what, exactly, is natural about navel piercings?! He has no business looking this attractive while laughing so loudly!

“Yes, I know that,” I finally mumble. “But this situation is different, you know that.”

“Hrrrmmmmm~~”

I swallow nervously when he puts his hand on my chin and lifts my face up.

“Pro~fessor~ we’re going to be sailing deeeeeeeeeep under the waves, just the t-w-o of us...” He’s leaning closer to me now. His skin is beautiful in the rays of light streaking through the window. “Of course, since you’re a biologist... in the pursuit of science.....”

He leans in closer so his lips are brushing my cheek.

“Do~ you~ want~ to~ see~ more~?”

I can’t believe I’m hearing this. My ears are ringing. Is he testing me? Teasing me? Trying to distract me from what I learned yesterday? Or is it truly because he thinks it would help my anatomical diagrams?

When I first try to speak, the noise that comes out of my mouth sounds like the singing of a boiling teakettle.

....

Either he didn’t hear it or he’s ignoring it. Which is good, for my sake.

I take a deep breath and answer him as honestly as I can.

“I... don’t think that sort of situation would be in the pursuit of science...”

He quickly stands back up and gives a shrug. “Of coooourse-- on an island with such gorgeous flora and fauna, why limit yourself to human anatomy? Go, make discoveries and walk alongside me in our respective disciplines!”

He gives me a thumbs up before turning around to walk out.

.....

His pants are cut just as low in the back.

I’ll never understand his eccentric fashion, but in that moment I can’t help but thank his tailor.

“Oh! Take your clothes with you!” I grab his boots and run out after him.

Cardia is standing there, watching us silently as I shove his clothes at him.

“GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOORNING, Cardia-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~” The walls vibrate once again with the noise. “It’s a beeeaaauuutiful day for SCIENCE!” He waves with his free hand. “Well, I’ve dilly-dallied long enough! ONWWAAAARRRDDD!”

He practically prances down the stairs towards the mens’ bunks.

“C... Cardia....” I look at her helplessly, willing her, praying for her not to say anything.

“Good morning....” she says. “Hm...”

I feel my head sink at the uncertainty in her voice.

“He... really does remind me of Impey at times,” says Cardia. “Don’t tell him I said that, though.”

I look at her with an expression of gratitude and nod.

Then, she looks at me sympathetically. “Were you able to get any sleep last night? I heard lots of crying, and then....”

She closes her eyes, and I notice that there are dark bags under them.

“Lots of.... snoring..........”

“Oh no, Cardia, I had no idea! Were you able to get any sleep?”

Cardia smiles. “Not as much as usual, but I’ll be all right. When I get back from London, I’ll see if Impey can create an invention that will help me.”

“Right.... London...” I sigh. “I still can’t believe I was so foolish. Now I have to rely on the kindness of you and Finis, I’ll never be able to truly pay this debt.”

Cardia shakes her head. “Pauline, we’re friends. All of us. Friends don’t worry about things like ‘debt’. Besides... I feel like Finis feels somewhat responsible, since he and Aleister worked together.”

She hides her laughter with her hand. “And don’t tell him I told you this, but he’s actually quite worried about Nemo, in his own way.”

My eyebrows rise so quickly that my glasses start to slide off of my face. Cardia quickly moves forward and straightens them before they can fall to the floor.

“He’s worried about Nemo? Really?”

Cardia’s smile falters. “He said that... he said that Nemo and my father, Isaac Beckford... while he could never compare the two of them, they went through similar situations.”

Cardia looks so sad. I want to hold her and take away her pain, too.

“I don’t know about Nemo’s past, but if Finis feels that way, then I’m glad he has someone looking after him. No one... no one deserves to be alone.”

“Cardia... I think Barbicane might be right about you. You really are an angel,” I say.

Cardia shakes her head. “Impey says a lot of things, but he’s never really serious. Sometimes I wonder...”

I tilt my head, but she looks away.

“It’s nothing. I had better go check on my brother. You’ll see us off later, won’t you?”

“I wouldn’t miss it,” I say. “Though I must admit, I’m grateful not to be on that ship myself!”

Cardia is such a good person. The fact that anyone called her a ‘monster’ shows just how backwards the world still is. Even Isaac Beckford...

I can’t help but wonder what similarity Finis was talking about. Hearing such a thing would probably make Nemo very happy, he idolized Beckford so much.

But right now isn’t the time for that.

Now that I have a bit of free time, I want to take a look at the island we’re on. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to go out into nature and sketch all the beautiful things I see!

-----

Not long after Cardia and I spoke, I’m walking along the beach closest to the barracks, journal in hand. I left my boots by the building so I could feel the soft sand in-between my toes.

My goal right now is to see if I can find any tide pools, which are always brimming with fascinating life. Luckily it’s low tide, so these thriving ‘cities’ will be easy for me to spot. I would be exceptionally grateful to find a tide pool in the lower littoral zone, only exposed in exceptionally low tides, but it looks like the ocean is working against me. I’ll be happy, though, if I can just find a bed of the mussels that I saw workers dining on yesterday. Some of my first sketches were of mussels I found by the ocean, so it would be nostalgic for me.

As I walk along the beach, I find myself walking closer to the shoreline so the cool water can run over my feet.

I love the sea.

The extreme diversity churning inside of it is something beautiful, not something to be feared. It’s an entire world, muted in sound but not in color, untouched by man. Pristine and calm, a cradle of life and death passing in liquid space.

To me, that is true serenity.

But my musings are interrupted by splashing, and I see a terrestrial creature I was not expecting. Running fast and eager along the sand, bounding towards its master.

It is a greyhound, lean and blue.

“Top! Over here!”

Cyrene Smith is waving and splashing, happily playing with her four-legged companion. However, she underestimates the greyhound’s strength and falls backwards into the shallow water. She laughs loudly as the greyhound bounces around her, barking and licking her while wagging its tail.

“Top, Top, have mercy! Mercy!” Smith’s laugh is loud and full, brimming with joy.

I walk over towards her, holding my sketchbook close to me in case the dog decides to bounce on me next.

However, the greyhound is devoted to its master, and appears unwilling to stop licking her face.

“Oh-- oh, Professor Aronnax!” the young woman attempts to stand up, but the dog has not yet finished its loving assault. Finally, Smith says, “Top, off!” and the dog obediently jumps aside, wagging its tail.

“Good boy, Top,” says Smith as she stands up and begins to brush sand off of the back of her trousers. “Glad to see you out here, Professor. Taking a mid-morning stroll?”

“Actually, I was on the hunt for tide pools,” I respond. “But it looks like I might be out of luck, the beach around here is so sandy.”

“Yeah, if you want a rocky coast you’d probably have more luck on the other side of the island. It’s a bit of a long walk, but if you want I’ll go with you.”

I shake my head. “Thank you for the offer, but I want to stay close to the warehouse.”

Cyrene crosses her arms and looks at me with a grin.

“In... case they need me.”

Cyrene shifts her weight from one foot to the other, still grinning.

“.... For business.” I finish flatly.

“Right, right, business,” says Smith. Then, her expression perks up when she sees something. She smiles eagerly and waves. “Oh, Professor Nemo, taking a break?”

I quickly turn around, only to hear Smith burst out laughing.

Of course, no one is there.

“You should have seen the look on your face, Professor Aronnax!!” Smith cackles, slapping her knee. “Your face went sooooo red!”

I look back at her and lightly splash her with my foot.

“Oh, it’s a splashing you want, huh?” Smith grins before running towards me.

I quickly hold my journal above my head. “I surrender, I surrender! Don’t get my journal wet!!”

Smith slows down until she’s right in front of me. Then she looks at the journal and pouts. “Oh, darn... that’s not fair, using your research materials as defense.... huh?”

Smith narrows her eyes, looking into the distance.

I’m not falling for it this time, just glaring at her.

“Professor, really...”

The tone in her voice makes me turn around.

It looks small, but that’s definitely... definitely what it appears to be.

“What is a hot air balloon doing all the way out here...?” asks Smith.
