Ok, ok. That last chapter was a little much. Yeah, I know. But, I'm over it now. It was just something I needed to get out of my system. I could have happened to anyone, you forgive me right? YOU FORGIVE ME RIGHT? If you don't I'll cry. I really will. I'll cry my eyes out... But anyway, sorry about that. I'll get back to the regularness now. But still I need to find a plot so it's not all fillers. And also once summer comes around, I'm thinking of a time skip, what do you think, it'll only be like a year or two.
Sora Forever 14: Do Perverts Get Married?
Sora was holding Rena as she and Melody were walking to the super market, the needed more turnip seeds, well Sora did. Melody just came to come. The family of four had decided they would sell cheap fast growing turnips for the rest of spring. It was almost time for the horse festival, which meant almost time for the cooking festival, which Sora was not aloud to participate in.
"Melody how long can you stay here without your mom getting all mad and stuff?" Sora suddenly asked.
"Hmm? She doesn't know I'm here." Melody answered.
"But what about Mimi? Doesn't her mom worry?" Sora asked looking at Rena, she knew if Rena OR May suddenly went missing she'd hire the government to find them.
"Mimi's mom? Hmm... You know I never though of that." Melody said continuing to walk.
Sora stopped, "You never thought of that? Not ever? You take a child away from her family and you didn't even stop to think what their reaction would be!?" Sora basically yelled, cause Rena to clutch on to her shirt.
"Nope." Melody answered simplistically.
Sora ran up to her, "Wow, do you ever think? At all?" Sora asked.
"Of course, of course. Just not when it's not needed." Melody said.
Sora gave up on talking to this person about morals, since they had already made it to the super market, it didn't matter anyway. They were greeted with two familiar faces, one they expected, the other, a bit surprising.
"Hironi, what are you doing here?" Melody asked.
"I came to buy this!" He said gleefully holding up a blue feather that currently had little sparkle things flying around it. You see, I've been saving up money." He started his story, unable to finish it because of the position Melody had put him in. Now in a head lock, he strained to breath normally.
"What the hell? You actually raise some money and you go and buy a feather!?" She said angrily.
Sora chuckled a bit in a scared way, backing up with a sweat drop slowly falling down her face. Rena did not need to see such violence. She picked up four bags of turnip seeds and brought them to the counter. "Hey Jeff. How's it going?" Sora asked.
"It's alright." He said in his usual slightly depressed tone of voice.
Sora paid for the seeds and put them in the first ever appearance of her rucksack. She stared at the siblings. Figuring now would be the time to intervene. She sighed, "Melody, a blue feather is used to propose around here."
"Propose?" Melody stopped and let go of her brother. "You're gonna settle down? That's a miracle if I ever saw one." She finished.
"Yes! Having lost the beauty that is Sora, I had lost hope. But NO! There was another, one far more beautiful. And, I shall ask that beauty for her hand." Hironi said with a nice set of backgrounds accompanying his words.
"I'm just gonna ignore that 'far more beautiful' comment, so I can pat you on the back without giving you a bruise." Sora said, true, she did not care for Hironi in that way, but what girl DID want to be told that another was more beautiful, and not just more, far more. Sora walked over to him, and pat him on the back just as she said she would, but a question popped up in her mind. "Where are you gonna live after getting married? You gonna stay in the Inn or what?" Sora asked.
"Actually, I had my mother send me lots of money, and I asked Gotz to build up a house." Hironi said proudly.
"And if she says no?" Melody asked.
"What now?" Hironi looked at her.
"What if she says no, whatcha going to do with the house?" Melody asked.
Hironi seemed to loose consciousness. "AND JUST WHAT REASON WOULD SHE HAVE FOR SAYING NO?!" He suddenly yelled, causing Jeff to look over, and Rena to quietly cry to herself.
"Maybe we should take this outside..." Sora said.
"Sure, sure." Melody said dragging her brother, who was clinging to the blue feather for his life, outside.
"I've gotta get back, so I'll see you guys around." Sora said waving as she left the two.
Melody grabbed the feather from her brother. "So this is what they use around here. I guess it's pretty enough, but won't it like rot or something?" Melody thought.
Hironi was currently laying on the ground face down, thinking of the possibility that she would turn him down.
"Hey Melody." A voice said.
"Yo, what's happenin'?" Melody asked.
"A blue feather? Is it yours Melody?" She asked.
"Ah, this? Nope actually it's my brother's he's planning on giving it to y-" Melody was suddenly cut off by Hironi who had finally realized who she was talking to, he grabbed the feather and pushed the girl onto the ground. He stood in front of Ann and cleared his throat.
"Ann, would you please except this, and become my bride?" He asked handing her the feather. That was his only chance, if he had waited any longer after that incident, who knows what kind of conclusions could have been turned up.
Over At Sora's Farm Which Probably Has A Name
"Yeah, so I left them on the ground in front of the super market." Sora said finishing off the story.
"So Hironi is gonna get married?" May asked.
"Most likely." Sora nodded.
"That's really cool." She added.
Sora nodded again. Cliff was working, yes, he had taken off some time when the baby was first born, but now he was back at the Winery. What they did during the spring was a mystery Sora figured she would never find the answer to.
"You know... Maybe I should try cooking something..." Sora said.
"Papa told me that if you ever said that to tell you no." May said smiling.
"Oh is that so? Well no matter how much I respect the words of my child, I'm going to have to go and disobey them." She said standing up. Sora walked towards the kitchen. "I will make... Fish stew." Sora said happily.
She took out a big fish from the fridge along with a potato, and a turnip. She figured she knew what she was doing, but who knows. She boiled up a pot of water and started adding spices. Many spices, somehow, even the child watching from a distance knew that some of those spiced should not have been added. She skinned and gutted the fish, chopping up the two vegetables she threw all the stuff in.
It was more then halfway done when Cliff walked in the door. "I told her no but she did it anyway." May said as soon as she saw him.
"Sora, you can't go cooking. Especially when you don't have anyone watching." Cliff said.
"Yeah, yeah. Well I'm starving. And you work." Sora said glaring at him.
"Well I guess it's too late to save whatever it is you're cooking there." Cliff sighed walking into the bedroom.
Sora poured the 'meal' into a bowl and set it on the table, "Here, here now May. Try your mother's cooking." Sora said with a smile.
May looked at her mother. The child was eight, the child was smart, but the child WAS scared of her mother's reaction if she said no. As long as she could hold out until her dad came back out everything would be fine. She slowly walked to the table and sat down. She stared at the food. There were little bones floating on top with the little oil bubbles.
"Well? Aren't you going to try it?" Sora asked.
May looked at her mother, then back at the food. Her hand trembled in her lap as she slowly lifted the other up toward the spoon, as soon as her hot hand reached the cold metal Cliff came out of the room carrying Rena who was now yawning.
"Sora! Don't feed May that!" He shouted.
May sighed happily. She was saved.
"Well you wanna eat it?" Sora asked.
"No." He said simply handing Rena to Sora. "I'll toss it."
"Toss it!? But I worked really hard on it, you could at least taste it.." Sora said sadly.
Cliff sighed. He didn't want to taste that food. But Sora probably had worked really hard on it. "Alright, alright. I'll taste it." He said picking up the spoon, he grabbed a spoon full and brought it to his mouth. Regretfully he tasted it, it was spicy, it was more then spicy it was burning. Maybe it was the mix of vinegar, salt, and pepper, it was even crunchy, was soup supposed to be crunchy?
He pulled a bone out of his mouth, "Sora... You have to take the bones out of the fish. And don't add so many spices." He choked out running to the fridge to get some water.
"But the bones add flavor." Sora pointed out.
"No! They most certainly do not!" Cliff said placing the cup in the sink, his mouth had finally stopped burning.
"Really? So it's no good? I bet Rena would eat it, right Rena?" She said looking at the brown haired baby.
"Yeah, no." Cliff said sitting at the table.
Before the argument could get any further, Ann came through the door. She seemed to have a smile pasted on her face. Sora stared at the freakish smile as Rena yawned again.
"Ann, what's going on?" Cliff asked.
"You see, the thing is, I'm getting married!" Ann said happily.
"Ah, so I see everything ended up going ok." Sora said cleaning her ear.
"You don't sound very surprised." Cliff said staring at her.
"Yeah. I saw Hironi buying the blue feather today." Sora said.
"I'm really happy though." Ann said.
"Hey, when was the last time you ever heard about a pervert getting married?" Sora asked.
"What are you talking about?" Cliff asked.
"Well, like perverts usually skip around. But, when they get married it like kills they're personality... Ya' know?" Sora explained.
"Uh-huh?" Cliff said sarcastically.
"Ann, congratulations." May smiled.
Out on the side walk in front of the super market
Melody woke up, she had been knocked out for a while. "Hey wait a minute... What happened? I remember Ann, and a feather... Maybe I had I strange dream... Hmm." Melody wondered standing up and heading for the Inn.
