So, I started this for the #EndTheDrought #PensReadyMusicSteady movement that tumblr user the-keionbu and spywi started. This'll be the first of many shorts I'll be making. If possible, I'll make one every day.

Prompt: Ui and Yui in an open field.
Optional considerations: Taking place in Summer in the afternoon

Enjoy if you can - if you can't, I apologize.

Houkago Tea Time had gone to a small outing out in the country side. It was a surprisingly easy time planning everything, mostly thanks to Mugi's - or rather, her family's - involvement in the entire trip. They didn't even need to secure transportation or living quarters as they were both generously provided by the Kotobukis. Thus, they walked through rather large grassy field on their way to one of Mugi's many family summer homes.

Some ways away from the main group was Yui and Ui. Yui was running around, enjoying the vastness of the space they were allowed to roam.

"Sis, try not to run too far away from the others. We might lose them."

Yui stopped and turned back towards her sister. "It's okay, Ui. Mugi owns this entire field." She stretched out her arms wide and gestured all around her. There was tall grass all around them. "No matter how far we run, as long as we're in this field, we'll still just be in Mugi's yard." With a satisfied huff, she decided the matter was settled and continued running through the shoulder tall grass.

Ui sweatdropped at Yui's statement. "Well, I guess I can't argue with that."

She turned to the others who were still walking along the established path where all grass was ankle level at most. She could close enough to make out their features, though she had to squint to really see anything. She saw that Azusa had looked at her and waved. Azusa and the others waved back.

Ui then scanned the field for her sister, worried that she might have disappeared after looking away for only a few seconds. Thankfully, her brunette hair was easy to make out in the sea of green. Within seconds she found a head of brown half submerged in the grass

"We should head back," Ui said when she finally caught up to Yui.

Yui frowned and squinted at the rest of HTT in the distance. "I guess we're really far, huh?" she muttered. She turned towards Ui, smiling. "Okay, let's go back."

With a nod of agreement, the two sisters made their way back to the others. Just a slow leisurely walk. They were still a long way from Mugi's summer home. They didn't have to run back to them. As long as they angled themselves towards the foot path then they'll eventually rejoin. No need to rush.

"It's a good thing were were going up a little bit. It makes it easier to find our way"

Ui blinked in confusion. "Hm?"

"I was going up a little bit as I kept moving away from the others. It was like I was on a really small hill."

Ui nodded slowly. Come to think of it, the grass had not really grown that much taller or shorter no matter how far they were from the road. She and her sister were around the same height and yet Yui seemed to have sunk deeper into the grass when she was really far away. She then turned towards their friends in the distance, noting a slight yet noticeable change in height. Azusa - who was normally at the same eye level as Ui - was a little lower.

Ui smiled. "So we are. That is a good thing."

Well, that was short and sweet. I hope you all enjoyed it. See you guys probably tomorrow for the next one. Here's hoping my habit of putting off writing for a month doesn't ruin this.
