As Raven and Kali finished up their meals, they headed off to enjoy the rest of the festival. While they admired the different stands, which ranged from food or rigged games that drains people of their money, Kali saw a giant stuff Koi fish as she walked by, and was immediately attracted to its lively glow of orange and white. As Kali weaved effortlessly through the people and students attending the festival, Raven struggled to keep up until they reached the stand which was run by the same man who served them noodles just moments before. At first sight, Raven saw that it that game was a shooting range, with a variety of different items spread across multiple levels, as she eyed the rifle, she saw that it was a cork launcher, then out of the corner of her eye she saw as Kali stared at the stuff Koi, its scales shimmered from the hung up lanterns, which gave it a mythic glow to it.
"Hey, I'd like a try," Raven called out over the gamekeeper, who turned to look at Raven, and brought her the rifle with five corks, "Alright, how do I play?"
The gamekeeper stared at her for a few seconds, as his eyes darted to Kali who was still in awe from the lure of the koi fish then back to Raven. The gamekeeper pointed at the stuffed Grimm Ursa that was perched upon the highest rack, then led to the Koi. With a prompt nod as an acknowledgment, Raven aimed the sights of the rifle at the Ursa and launched two corks at either side of Ursa's shoulders slowly Raven nudged the Ursa to the edge, followed by a third to the right side shoulder. The Ursa was mere inches to the edge, but with only two shots left, Raven shot one cork to the chest of the Ursa and with her final shot, straight shot to the head was the last push which sent the Ursa over the edge.
As time slowed, the Ursa plummeted into the dark space behind the shelf, the gamekeeper stood and clapped nonchalantly, while he walked over and grabbed to koi that Kali eyed. Still, under its trance, Kali's eyes don't leave the koi until its handed to Raven, then golden meet maroon, and Kali blushed furiously.
"O-oh! You didn't h-have to, Raven," Kali tried to say but she tripped over her words, which Raven found incredibly adorable, and with a short and sweet chuckle she handed the koi to Kali, who took it in her arms and hugged it, and under her breath, "Thank you, Raven."
Before Raven and Kali could leave, the gamekeeper handed Raven the stuff Ursa, which she took with a smile and tucked it under her arm. As they walked around for a while, the sound of vigorous music dances across the night sky. Trumpet played high thrills, cellos strung a funky beat and a pale woman with deep brunette and chestnut colored eyes sang along with musicians. 'Evenin' everyone, I'm Ari Adel and we're 'Pint Size'! Grab a partner and move to the beat Y'all!"
"Come on, Revan let's dance!" Kali said as the music filled her with delight and joy, as she tried to take Raven's hand, Kali nearly drops her koi fish, "Oh, I nearly forgot, we don't have anyone to hold these for us."
"Oh, oh! I'll hold them for you!"
A voice called out from behind them, as Raven and Kali scanned the crowd that had gathered around the band. Until Raven spotted a hand waving at them, and it got closer, Raven saw that it was Summer Rose and Willow Schnee.
"Hey Summer!" Kali said ecstatically as she waved back to Summer who responded with a short two finger salute.
"How did you hear Kali from way over there?" Raven asked while she scratched her head a little, "Also, hows it goin' Willow."
"This evening's been surprisingly adequate, Miss Branwen," Willow said in her original monotone style, "I trust your's has been the same?"
"Of course, I'm here with Kali, so it was bound to be a great night," Raven said with a cheeky smile, and she looked at Kali who failed to hide her blush.
"Here, give me your stuffed animals and go dance! This is gonna be your last chance then you'll have to wait till next." Summer said as her joyful, fun-loving self.
As Raven and Kali gave up their prizes, then they turned to the dance floor where couples, singles, and friends alike dance in the cool night air to the funky music. In the heat of the moment, Kali turned around and grabbed Raven by the hand with a face full of joy, and a hint of blush in her cheeks, which caused Raven to blush deeply and made her speechless.
"Come on, Raven! Let's make this a night to remember!"
