"Makoto! Makoto!" Noel exclaimed, barging into the dining room where she was enjoying her lunch. "There's a rainbow outside!"
"Really!?" The squirrel girl shouted, knocking over her glass of water. Kagutsuchi rarely had rainbows anymore. It was dry up in the mountains, and it totally ruined their fun.
"If we follow it to the end, there's supposed to be all kinds of magical stuff," Noel gasped, "Maybe even magical pandas!"
"Yeah! Let's go!" Makoto dashed out of the door, leaving Noel to bite her dust.
"Oh, yeah!" Makoto said. It's been a long time since she's saw one, the only other time being when she was a tiny little tot. She could hardly remember it, but the way the red morphed into a purple brought back some memories.
She jumped over a crack in the sidewalk. "Wheeee!" she yelled. Makoto couldn't help but to do a flip before landing. She saw Noel kind of far behind her. It doesn't matter, though. They were nearing the end!
"It's nearing the end!" She squealed, "It's nearing the end!" They were just inside the safety zone. Seithr can be a bitch. Even to rainbows.
She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw who was there. The... doctor!? And she was holding a half empty six pack of beer. What was going on here?
"Leprechauns! Leprechauns everywhere!" Litchi shouted, stumbling as she walked. She roughly put her arm around Makoto's shoulder. "You know... people shhhhould... y'know-" She was interrupted by a hiccup, "Just win. Win wars and crap."
Makoto was at a loss. She really didn't know how to deal with her. Noel finally caught up. "Makoto?" She questioned, "Litchi?"
"Uh... I think she's drunk," Makoto said, trying to escape from Litchi. She lost her balance, and fell. She started giggling like an idiot.
"That was less than magical," Noel remarked.
"I guess we shouldn't ask to see any gold," Makoto said. Litchi's hiccups made her giggle more.
