A St. Patrick's Day Pinch
A/n: Title is self-explanatory. I got the idea after I pinched my father this morning. Go figure.

A St. Patrick's Day Pinch
Holidays were a special thing for the mischievous magic knight of water. She could pull things off that would turn our master mage as red as Ascot when he spoke to Umi. This simple fact made the other residents frightened, in fear of the next holiday on Earth. Then again, the holiday Christmas was nice, and so was Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving. New Year's on the other hand, the Cephirans did not understand the whole egg nog concept, along with the drunken songs sung by both Umi and Zazu.
Thanks to a brief holiday lesson by Fuu, people were put on alert for Umi and her "Pinches of death", whatever Fuu meant by that.
It was midmorning, and Umi had yet to strike. Out of all of the castle residents, six of them she couldn't pinch. What was even more peculiar was Umi's color choice this day. Fuu noticed it and smirked. A single green ribbon, Umi must have raided Fuu's closet when she was looking.
It was getting later and Umi was getting upset. She only got two people, and that was by luck. Then again, Mokona and Clef were asking for it. Caldina however, was asleep during this 'Umi Watch' as Fuu put it and missed the "Stay away from Umi" talk. A yelp could be heard from the garden which let people know that Umi has struck.
"What was that for?" Caldina asked, rubbing her arm.
"You didn't wear green." Umi replied simply, skipping off to find Lafarga.
However, Hikaru and Lantis were the next two victims Umi had found and made their bottoms and/or arms hurt with the pinch.
"It's St. Patrick's Day, you know the rule," Umi said. She stopped outside the library where she heard Lafarga talking to the master mage. Second thoughts crept into her head about going in there for Lafarga's bum. She shook her head, and with the stealth of a mouse, she had taken the next bum captive.
At this exact moment though, the solitary green ribbon in Umi's hair had decided to fall out, enabling the water knight to fear pinches. After two pinches, Umi yelped and ran out narrowly avoiding a pinch by Mokona and a vengeful Presea. Umi hid behind the closet green wearing person and smiled at the poor boy.
"Umi, I'm not going to protect you today..." Ascot muttered, turning red. The next thing anyone heard was Umi yelping at multiple "pinches of death". From Fuu's point of view, this was quite amusing and she stood to the side and let everybody get a pinch at Umi.
"Learned your lesson?" she asked when the others left. Umi nodded, looking as red as a tomato. "Good." Fuu replied and left Umi with a pinch.
