"A tripod? What's that?" Honoka asked, confused a bit. "Nozomi-chan, what's a tripod?"
"You don't know what a tripod is?!" Nico exclaimed, Honoka giggled to cover up her embarrassment. "It's what you use to balance some other object."
"I guess you can use that reason," Eli said, getting out her wallet. "How much is it Honoka?"
"Ehh?" Honoka said in surprise. "You're paying?!"
"Won't it be a little too much if we asked Maki-chan?" Eli asked, Honoka nodded. "Give the girl a break."
"It's just cheap but they said it's durable," Honoka said, getting excited. "I don't know the price though."
"I'll ask," Eli said, walking up to the girl at the stall then coming back to the group after. "It is cheap. Here you go Honoka-chan."
"Thank you Eli-sama!" Honoka thanked, jumping into the girl's arms. "Thank you!"
"Ahehehehe….." Eli giggled as she attempted to carry Honoka. "You're quite heavy Honoka."
"I'm not!" Honoka exclaimed, lying. "Ask Umi-chan! She'll say that I'm not heavy!"
"You're always heavy Honoka," Umi said, unamused. "We are all heavy…."
"Here's the tripod," Eli said, handing it over. "It is quite large."
"Thanks Eli-chan!" Honoka thanked, getting the object out of Eli's hands. "My dad always wanted this. But now I think I can use it."
"Don't you use it for like photography?" Kotori asked, intrigued. "It looks interesting."
"It sure does nya!" Rin said, checking out the newly purchased item. "Did Maki-chan pay for that?"
"I'm paying for something again?" Maki asked annoyed. "Ehhh….."
"Eli-chi was the one who bought it," Nozomi said, the μ's giggled at Maki as she let out a sigh of relief. "I'm hungry."
Maki stiffened, "I have to go."
"No no Maki-chan," Nozomi said, smirking. "You'll pay this time."
"Oh come on….." Maki said, silently pleading someone will pay instead. "I don't want to…"
"Please Maki-chan?" Hanayo asked, making a face that even Maki would pity. "I also want to eat…."
"Fine….." Maki gave in, she was a bit hungry after all. "Where do you want to eat?"
"Just over there," Umi pointed, Maki smiled. "What's with the smile?"
"N-Nothing!" Maki tried to cover up.
"Guys! I have an idea!" Honoka said, getting out a camera from her backpack. "Let's take a picture using the tripod!"
"Ehh?" Eli said, surprised. "Can't we just like….use our phones or something?"
"We have to use it now!" Nico said forcefully. Grabbing the camera then putting it on the tripod. "I'm setting it on a timer!"

"Yay!" Honoka cheered, retrieving both objects back as she skipped to the restaurant.

This is so short. I'm sorry. It's just that the writing prompts are so…giddy. It's difficult for me to write something without drama. Even the 'On Tour' had drama but it was soooo not noticeable. Dark stories are easier to write…. Wish me luck on the next one of this!
