[✿]—"The West?" Miho's eyes widened quite a bit. That was so very far from where she lived! A sense of yearning washed over her. How she hoped and dreamed and prayed to explore the world around her. It didn't even have to be as far as the western world. It could even be as near as Tokyo.

Then again, everything seemed kilometers away from her island "I can only imagine how amazing such a trip was. Your minds must be brilliant to concoct such a journey. I'm merely preparing for the university entrance exam."

"Is broccoli really that revered, Rolf?"

Cross Ed

Unfortunately, Double D didn’t have time to correct Ed’s casual error nor was Eddy even aware that he suddenly became Rolf of all people. Nevertheless, the trio followed Miho along the dock and back to land, taking in the fresh atmosphere that surely contrasted from Peach Creek. Then again, it only signified how far away from home they were.

"We are but humble suburban denizens from a neighborhood much, much far away from here. Definitely not in Japan; we’re actually from a small town in the West!”

"Why, it’s so different here too!" In the meantime, Eddy would regain his senses and realize their new hostess of sorts was helping himself up. Naturally, the stout guy tried to prove himself not in need of assistance, but in the end, he simply accepted it.

"I’ll say. By now I’d hear Jonny 2x4 going on about his broccoli tirade."

What do you want to study in university?

[✿]—"To be honest, I haven’t really figured that out as of yet. All I know is that I wish to go to a university in Tokyo, to study outside my island. I wish to find that place where I belong."

[theplaceiwanttobe]

[✿]—Miho heard the shout of the word "forgot."

And that was all she needed to hear.

Screeching to a halt, her foot slamming on the brake, it took everything to make sure the grocery bag she currently had didn't slip out of her grasp, too. Grateful hands took the bag. "Thank you so much! Dinner wouldn't have been complete without these ingredients. There must be something I can do to repay you."

Reaching a hand into her backpack, she pulled out a pack of stickers; planets and stars.  And in addition to that, she pulled out a sweet red bean paste bun from one of the grocery bags, "I'm sorry for making you have to run after me!  You look so tired. Is everything alright?"

[✿]--*silently smiling to herself*

"I don’t believe you, Ed! When the heck did I look life Rolf!?”

"Simple! You guys both talk funny!"

"That’s an auditory comparison, not a visual one… "

[theplaceiwanttobe]

[✿]—Completely oblivious to the absentminded Ed's normal state, she took his statement at face value, "Ed, Ed, and Rolf. A pleasure for us to meet for the first time. I am Miho Sakura. If it is alright, can we make conversation on the way to my home? I really should start walking now."

With a small bow and a 'please follow me,' Miho began walking up the dock, towards the island. A quick dialing of her cellphone led to her alerting her mom that she would have guests over, if that was alright. And after hanging up, she would offer help to Eddy to walk her bike, if he needed it, "So where exactly are you from?"

Cross Ed

The Eds would look off into the distance, only the sun now setting alongside the final boat leaving the island for the evening. Double D would sigh if somewhat of a defeated manner as Ed stood close by (a staggering Eddy made himself comfy near the girl’s bike). 

"Ah, that’s quite unfortunate.”

"But alas, patience is always a virtue! And we can definitely use some loosening up our legs after all."

"Oh oh, I’m Ed by the way! And that over there is Ed, and over there is Rolf!” He erroneously pointed at Eddy.

This is a cute sheet of Japanese food. https://www.etsy.com/listing/178714021/japanese-food-stickers-dango-taiyaki There are “dango” (dumplings on a stick) and “taiyaki” which are a kind of cake filled with different things such as cream or “anko” (sweet red bean paste). The green ones are matcha flavored, the pink ones are strawberry. They come in a fish shape as the “tai” (seabream) fish is considered lucky.

[✿]—Knocked off balance, tiny feet attempted to plant themselves to the ground while arms slightly flailed about. Clumsiness was a bit of a trait of hers. One she wasn't proud of. Refocusing her sight, Miho directed her attention to the source of the voice addressing her. Hands readjusted her glasses and a soft spoken apology began, "I'm sorry. I was hurrying home and thinking about studying for university and I wasn't paying attention and..."

Spotting her study paper resting on the ground, she cut herself off and picked it up. It was slightly crumpled and a bit of dirt had gotten onto the edges, but it wasn't lost forever. And for that she was thankful, "I didn't knock anything out of your hands, did I?"

❣—In the fallout of huntings past and school concluding a few hours ago, the legs were languid with exhaustion. Each stride felt to be a chore, with the whites of the eyes ribboned with crimson veins. They swiftly flit every now and then, but with each flick did only minimal relief to the strain. Fluorescent lighting in the classrooms didn’t assist much with that, either. Effete digits were tucked underneath a russet strap, shifting the handbag while she plodded down the concrete. All that mattered the most now was whether or not she’d be able to keep her eyes alight.

Now normally, the huntress would be much more attentive to surroundings, especially concerning the earth. On this particular eve, she would turn out to be just as inelegant as the foreign frame colliding with her own. Her forehead was numbed with shock, until a dull sore plumed in her cranium. ❝Ugh!❞ she gnarls, dressed palm instinctively going to the curtained temple. ❝H-How unpleasant! Please, watch where you’re going!❞

[theplaceiwanttobe]

[✿]—A smile tugged at her lips, curving upwards towards the frames of her glasses. She motioned closer to the boys, a concerned for the dizzy one. She pushed her bike closer to him, perhaps as a place to sit so he wouldn't be so dizzy and uncomfortable, "Yes. This has been my home for as long as I can remember..."

"And your presumption about being here awhile would be correct as well," a finger reached out towards the horizon, pointing towards the ferry that seemed to shrink into the distance, "That ferry was the last one to leave this island for the day. It's getting late, after all. Luckily, my house isn't too bad of a walk from here."

Cross Ed

"Y-Yeah… it’s err first time hurr… "

A dizzy Eddy would emerge from the makeshift boat, attempting to pull himself onto the dock alongside the other two Eds. Double D managed to steady himself on the boardwalk and proceeded to greet the bespectacled schoolgirl who was there to see them arrive.

"The pleasure is all ours! Sorry for our unexpected appearance to your humble home, ah… presuming you do live here?”

"What’s meant to be a rocket ship converted into a boat. Quite convenient, if I do say so myself! I think we’ll be here for some time, though… "

[✿]--Miho hurried home, sadly without the company of her trusty bike. The only thought on her mind was studying for the university entrance exam. She was so thankful to hear about the Z-Kai correspondence courses and she knew that she had to take full advantage of the study opportunity. Especially because there wasn't a single cram school near her. Delicate fingers grasped the study paper, skimming it as she jogged. And her little teddy bear charm flapped about, striking against her backpack in time with her footsteps.

Unfortunately for Miho, the teddy bear couldn't warn her she was about to bump into someone.

[✿]--Miho watched in bemusement at the trio's attempt to dock. A small smile graced her lips at their comeraderie and the fact that they were sailing on a boat of their own in the first place. She had to admit, she was slightly jealous of the fact. They might have had the chance to see more in one day than she has in her entire life.

She wanted that.

Once the boy in the green jacket greeted her, she returned with a tilt of her head and a brushing of her hair behind her ear, "It's very nice to meet you! I'm sure I haven't seen you around this island before. Is this your first time here?"

Cross Ed

"T-That’d be much appreciated, ma’am." Double D weakly responded, steadying upward onto the junkyard rocket.

"And no, we’re not pirates, fortunately.” Eddy liked the sound of getting someplace to rest that would likely have more room than their clunky vessel, so getting to the docks as soon as possible was something he had in mind.

"C’mon, boys, kick it up a notch!"

"Sure am, Eddy!" Cue Ed clocking Eddy in the noggin with the binoculars too.

And with that, he and Double D continued padding the ship towards the board (Ed more so with his feet), until they reached a sufficient distance to dismount their ride. “Hiya, ma’am!” The lump would proudly greet her.

[theplaceiwanttobe]

[✿]—"But I have no treasure to steal! Are you actually pirates?!" 

Miho practically fell off her bike at the statement. She attempted to speak to them regardless. After all, the one who waved seemed to be confused and in need of assistance. She would do her best to help.

"If you can make it to shore, I can help with giving you a place to rest before you continue on your way. You can even stay for dinner if you'd like," friendly eyes flashed of reassurance as she attempted to signal them closer to where she was. This might be cutting into her study time, but perhaps one day of less intensity wouldn't be so bad. After all, she managed to study earlier that day.

Cross Ed

Double D smiled one to that of relief as his greeting was responded to; the Eds would also notice the bespectacled girl who stood at the docks among all the other ships that passed in and out. Hopefully their rocket wouldn’t get totaled in the process!

"Y-Yes, indeed!" He attempted elevating his tone for the other to comprehend him.

"It appears that an experiment of ours went awry when the engine didn’t function as properly as I calculated it would have according to-… "

“Ahoy there, landlubber!” Ed would cut off Double D by accidentally smacking him in the head with his binoculars. “We’re pirates out to steal your treasure, huhuh! I mean, harhar!”

[✿]--"Someday I'll find the place where I want to be," she uttered, her voice a mere whisper. Fleeting thoughts ricocheted in the confines of her mind as she sat on her bike and observed the ferry pass by. It was becoming a calming habit of hers. One that only made her dream more, addicted to the splashing of the waves as the ferry left the island. How exciting that was.

But... what was that other boat in the distance?

The "boat" in question was a rather junky creation. But she had to give the creator credit. It was obviously functional to some degree. Was there even anyone on board? A moment of staring revealed that there was. Three people in fact. Spotting the fluttering of the handkerchief, Miho timidly raised a hand to wave back, "H-Hello! Are you lost?"

Cross Ed

"Look, guys! I see land!"

"That’s my face, Ed.”

In spite of the lump’s erroneous skills at using binoculars, the trio was indeed approaching what seemed to be the docks of a small island. They didn’t know how far their makeshift vessel brought them, but for one made out of junk (and formerly intended to be a rocket ship), it was pretty darn efficient.

"37 hours of sea travel! O-Oh, thank goodness we made it! U-Um, salutation over there!" Double D would stand up and wave a handkerchief to whomever was standing on the boardwalk.

[✿]--Miho was out picking up groceries for dinner tonight. Tentative fingers held a plastic bag filled with spices and vegetables. She couldn't stop thinking about studying for university and she wanted to hurry home as soon as she could.

Fastening the bag to the bike, she began to pedal on her way, not realizing that she had left behind the other grocery bag on the ground.
