Later
Although the sun was shining happily climbing higher in the sky chasing the ice on the grass to the shadows of the trees, natures splendor went mostly unnoticed by the bear and bird who were in the middle of their third round of the very exciting, very distracting game of War. The card game. After awhile Banjo looked over and asked, "what happend to Roysten? I would feed him but he's not there."
"Who, the fish? Its probably outside."
"Really? You think he's okay?" She shrugged, their cards declared/waged war on/with eachother or whatever you call it when they match and took all of his cards, "awww, again?"
"Haha." Some more of his taken cards later, "Hey, Banjo?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you really like that Honey B a wasp lady?"
"Well, sure. She gives us honey."
"No, I mean she always flirts with you and stuff, you know what I mean."
"Yeah, but Kazooie," she looked up into his blues, "She's a bee."
Kazooie lowered her eyes, "Yeah, she is... a bee..."
"She's probably had at least a hundred mates already!" Banjo snickered with a paw over his muzzle and took her card.
"Heh heh, your probably right!" Kazooie blushed and giggled, sure she had nothing to worry about. No one ever really gave Banjo that much credit in the intelligence department, but Kazooie was sure he knew what was going on more often than she did. She used to spend most of the time tucked away in the backpack; only coming out to flap, look around and peck stuff. Oh, and shoot eggs, too! she almost forgot she could do that, its been awhile. Wait, and the Talon Trot! Okay, so she used to come out alot after all. The point was she trusted Banjo.
"So you think of anything special yet?" Banjo said as he took Kazooie's card for the upteenth time in a row. Since Kazooie went ahead and ate her bowl of food they moved on to just doing something special today.
"We'll just see what we come across."
Kazooie was starting to get excited, she still had some naughty ideas that she couln't help but try. "Well, I'm tired of kicking your butt at cards. Lets head out already." She stood up and stretched, tossing the rest of her deck on the ground in front of the dying-down fireplace where they were playing. "Howzabout we go get that honey thing outta the way and hop on over to Jolly's?"
"But... I was winning..."
"Yeah, so ya think. It was only a matter o' time..."
"...whatever. So you want to cut through Jinjo Village to get to the Plateau? we could run the honey back here real quick and then head over to the Lagoon." Banjo said as he gathered the honey pots into the sack. A few days after the duo staked their claim to spiral mountain once and for all they super-cutely begged L.O.G. to allow access to the rest of the Isle o' Hags. Ever benevolent L.O.G. complied to their wishes and de-pixellated all the boulders so they could take the old route to Jinjo Village.
"sounds like a plan." Kazooie said, getting together the deck of cards.
BKBKBKBKBK
Banjo and Kazooie finally made it out of their little house and into the big outside world, what with its singing birds in the afternoon sun with puffy clouds in the sky and whatnot.
"Hey Banjo, wanna race?" Kazooie teased.
"No thanks." Banjo politely declined her offer knowing she could easly run circles around him, which she then proceeded to do. Banjo would think Kazooie was just so awesome whenever he saw her runnig freely like that. He knew she could not only run, but even fly freely without him. She could do so much on her own, yet she chose to stay with him. It made him think she was even more awesome.
The beautiful red flashes before his eyes ended when he tripped her. she hit the dirt with an "OOF" Kazooie stood up slowly, glaring at him, approaching him like she was going to peck his eyes out, she backed him upto the edge of the moat.
"Gosh, are you okay Kazooie? I am so sorry for tripping you." She just grinned and lovingly shoved him in.
After he climbed out and shook off all over the place they made their way around Spiral Mountain, heading for the tunnel.
"Hey guys."
Simultaneous "Huh, Whuh?"s came from the duo who didn't notice the beefy little fish swimming alongside them the whole time.
"Oh! Hey, whats up Roysten?" Kazooie waved a wing.
"Yeah, how ya doin' buddy? Been up to anything good?"
"Not much. Doin' alright. Gettin' laid." Roysten swam off and up the waterfall.
"...Well alright."
