"Wow, Obaa-san! This is the best present ever! Thanks!" cheered an obsidian haired girl as she stared at her grandmother through a lense, walking backwards. "Say 'hi!'"
"Hi Mako!" The old woman smiled warmly.
"Tell Midori-kun what we're doing today!" the seven-year-old grinned happily, her violet eyes lighting up behind thick rimmed glasses as she chewed a piece of bubblegum.
"Midori-kun?"
"Yeah, that's what I named him!" Mako shook the camera for emphasis, "This is Midori-kun!"
The elder laughed heartily at the child's enthusiasm before she looked directly into the camera, "Well, 'Midori-kun', Mako and I are going to the park."
Mako turned the camera to herself, telling the camera that 'he' was allowed to tag along. Then the young filmmaker's face scrunched into a frown, before she looked up at her grandmother.
"Ne, Obaa-san! How come Kyo-nii isn't coming with us?"
"That boy," Mako's grandmother waved off the situation, "He's playing with his friends."
"YAY! WE'RE HERE!" The girl cheered up, turning the camera to the park, "It's big, ne, Midori-kun? Let's get to the swings before someone takes it!"
The granddaughter raced to the swings, her new camera secured to her chest.
"I can't swing and hold you at the same time, Dori-kun, so I'm handing you over to Obaa-san!"
As the grandmother approached the swings, she took the camera the girl was offering her. Mako jumped up on the swing, positioning her feet just right on the ground so she could push forward. Her granny turned the camera in her own direction before correcting the camera's position and focusing it on the girl.
"Look at Mako swing," she narrated as said girl flashed the camera a thumbs up, "Just last week, I was still pushing her!"
After a few moments of catching the girl on film, the woman pointed it towards the ground.
"Mako, how do you turn this thing off?" She called, searching for the power off button. Truth is, when she had bought the camera for her grandchild, who stared longingly at it for almost twenty minutes, for her birthday, she hadn't bothered with all of the buttons and lights and accessories. Besides the camera, the house phone (which was an old spin dial, anyway), and certain kitchen appliances, there wasn't a trace of technology in her old home.
"I got it, Baa-san," the girl called as she hopped off the swing and made her way towards the old woman.
"GAHAHAHAA!"
As the annoying scream met Mako's ears, she turned to find the source.
"It's Lambo-san's swing, now!"
"NO!" Mako cried, racing back towards the swing. A kid her age with a ridiculous head of hair and a cow printed shirt was already jumping onto the chained plastic seat.
"Hey!" Mako called, "I wasn't done!"
Lambo stuck his tongue out at her, "Finder's keepers!"
"That doesn't work in this situation, baka ushi!" Mako fumed.
"You snooze, you lose! SO, THERE! GAHAHAHAAA!" laughed the cow print shirt wearing kid, "Now come push me, Goggles!"
Easily annoyed (which may have rubbed off on her from her brother), Mako growled, "I'll push you, alright!"
The little girl pounced on the nuisance, sending both of them flying to the ground. If we were to slow this down, you'd be able to see many things going on.
Mako's violet eyes set to kill, claws extended.
Lambo choking on his own saliva.
The two of them tangling together as they hit the ground.
A grenade pin locking around one of Lambo's curls, the active bomb flying towards the a little Chinese girl, a little blonde boy, and an older woman.
And finally, a wad of gum flying out of the angry girl's mouth and lodging itself in a certain puff of hair.
There was an explosion, needless to say. Luckily, the little Chinese girl gave the bomb an amazing kick before it went off, sending it high into the sky.
"Lambo!" cried the Chinese girl, "Stop putting bombs in your hair!"
"Uh…oh…" Mako muttered, staring at the bright pink bubble gum, "I'm so, so sorry. Hold still, hold still!"
"Wah! Get out of Lambo-san's hair!"
"Stop moving, you're making it worse!"
"Ow! THAT HURTS!"
"STOP SQUIRMING, BAKA USHI!"
"OW!"
"I'LL BITE YOU TO DEATH, DANGIT!"
"GAAAAAHHHH! CANNIBLE!"
