Kiki exhaled slowly through his nose, and slowly opened his eyes, staring down at the three Bronze Saints currently standing almost chest-deep in what appeared to be small plastic orbs.

"Why," he began slowly, "is the Aries Temple full of… whatever those are."

They were all brightly colored, many of them eye-burning neon shades, and they sounded like a pile of dishes clattering to the floor every time one of the teenagers moved.

Kouga shrugged, having the decency to look at least sheepish. "Well, at first we were just waiting for all of you to get back and got bored… and, well..."

"Souma was telling us about these," Raki popped up several feet away in a small explosion of brightly colored plastic, beaming. Kiki didn't even question how she was able to get high enough to be seen, simply letting her finish. "He called it a ball pit. It's super fun! We didn't have enough balls to do the rest of the temples like this one, though."

"Wait, you did more?"

Yuna nodded, mouth opening to speak before being interrupted by another shower of colorful orbs from a few meters behind her. Ryuho and Haruto came into view a second later, the latter looking winded. The Aries Saint decided it was better not to ask

Shaking his head incredulously, he shifted his weight. "What did you do to the others?"

"We didn't get to all of them," Ryuho frowned, clearly disappointed. "We started with the ones that currently have Gold Saints, and then we only had time for three more."

"... What did you fill the Taurus Temple with?"

"Jello."

Where would you even get that much jello?! Feeling the beginnings of a headache, Kiki sighed again. "The Gemini Temple?"

"Cotton balls," Haruto replied, and then paused. "We didn't get Cancer or Leo yet."

"What about Virgo, then?"

The sound of rattling plastic filled the air as a trail made its way closer to where the Gold Saint stood, and a disgruntled Eden surfaced in the sea of multi-colored chaos. "We only managed a fog machine. It should be pretty full by now, but..."

Gods, was it too much to ask for a fucking nap? "... And Libra?"

Ryuho smirked. "Chocolate milk."

"We skipped the Scorpio and Capricorn Temples for the moment," Souma said with a shrug. "Ran out of time."

"Sagittarius, then?"

"Pink pillows."

"Aquarius?"

"Water balloons."

"Pisces…?"

"Purple Kool aid."

"What even… no, I'm not even going to ask," Kiki covered his face with a hand, reminded himself to breathe. He was silent for a long moment. Glancing around at the expectant faces before him, he raised an eyebrow. "What's with those looks?"

"Well, aren't you going to join us?" Raki asked sweetly, somehow still visible.

Glancing around, he sighed once more, and dismissed his cloth. It couldn't hurt, right? "Only for a bit."

He'd already fallen face-first into the ball pit when he realized that the laughter belonged to Seiya, who had mentioned he would drop by to visit later.
