"A sunflower field! So it was real, and it's far better than I expected!" Pedro stood on the crest of a hill overlooking the the Garden of the Sun. "Father had always wanted to run through one of these, shame he isn't here... but I suppose I could experience that for him right...?"

"Uhm... so can I go with my friends now?" A fairy dressed in blue and white with icicle for wings mumble in annoyance.

"Oh! Sure!" Pedro nods. "As compensation... you did say that you want to be stronger, yes?"

"I don't need to be stronger, I'm already the strongest!"

"Hah, anyway" From his pocket, Pedro pulls out a tiny spherical thing. It was colored a gentle wispy blue, and could easily be mistaken for candy. "Here, I apologize for the rough treatement, but I couldn't help myself in being excited. It won't make you the strongest, but it should bring you close." Pedro offers the object to the fairy, which as expected grabs it with childish eagerness.

"Heh! Heh! You're actually not that bad! You know how to respect the strongest!"

"Right, right, your friends are probably playing by themselves, hurry along now."

"Ah right! Dai said that she'd managed to convince Rumia to be the seeker this time, I can't miss that! See you again Mr. Pedro!" The fairy waved as she flew away backwards.

"See you too, little Cirno!" Pedro waved back. "And watch ou-"

"Dont call me little!" THWACK!

"t for that tree..."


Pedro took a deep breath as he aproached the wall of sunflower. They were all fully upright, facing the midnoon sun. "Truly, this is just... magnificent, not a corn field, but it may as well be an improvement!" He stopped right at the edge of the field. He then reched out for one of the stalks. He shook it. "Pretty sturdy... Without magic, these would never grow like this. Could there be an owner? Hmmm... I'll just deal with them if they ever come up."

Pedro then backed up a little then did a stretching routine. After it he stood still as the stalks in front of him. "I've never been one to resist indulgement have I?" And thus, Pedro ran into the flower field full sprint with a stupid grin and a stupid laugh.


"Hoowee looks like I played around too much, I should try flying next time.." Pedro mutters as he floated over the masterpiece he made. His clothes were strangely clean but the poor sunflower field had been trampled, his name and his original body drawn on it should make up for that, he thinks. Nothing is more magnificent than him after all... no, maybe just his father... and that girl he met this morning. "Hm... I should take a picture for him to see I suppose." Pedro was about to take something out of his top hat when suddenly a bright green laser whizzed past where his head used to be. Alert, Pedro turned to it's source.

"How did I miss that! I need to-" He was cut off again by a laser, this time literally as another laser eviscerated his left arm, leaving it a bloody stump. "Crap."

"Better start dodging you scum, I don't want to finish this early!" Shouted his attacker, which was a rapidly approaching blot of green. More lasers were fired.

"... Mom!? I thought you were dead!!!" Pedro screams as he barely weaves through the onslaught of lasers. Suddenly, something snatched him by the collar. It was a green haired woman wearing a red plaid waistcoat and skirt. She looked absolutely cold even as she smiled at Pedro.

"I am not your mother, but if somehow I do remind you of her, then clearly she didn't raise you right if you ended up here!" She uppercuts the poor bastard, his head miraculously not coming off. Pedro was flung quite the impressive vertical distance. He managed to stop himself from falling back down, electing to escape by flying away while clouds and the oncoming night covered his escape.

"Waaah! That thing is crazy!"

"Crazy? People would think that'd be you though. Doing something like that to my field." Pedro froze, then looked back, then was punted back down screaming. More lasers came after.

"Dodge, dodge, dodge you scum, wouldn't want to die now don't you?"

Credit to Pedro, using the sheer force of the lasers, he was able to not get hit by them by letting himself be blown out of the way. His luck ran out however when he saw the woman below him smiling like a shark waiting for prey to fall into it's jaws. He saw her fire two of the largest lasers yet using a parasol. "NOPE! Hard Hat!" Pedro put his right arm up put up a barrier to defend himself. It was a strange thing, shaped like a true hard hat and colored orange but was magnified to fit a house. It floated in place waiting for the attack.

The lasers slam against the hard hat, it held for a moment but it was eventually peirced through. That single moment was what Pedro needed however, as he continued to fall past the lasers.

"HAHAHA! YOU MISSED YOU ANCIENT PIECE OF DEBRI!" Pedro hysterically scream-laughed.

"Did I?" The woman looked confused and tilted her head. Pedro, understandingly looked back and saw the lasers curve towards him.

"WHAT THE HELL! HARD HA-" He was unable to say anything further as he felt something slam into his back like a baseball bat. With teary eyes, he accepted his imminent doom as he accelerated towards it.


Yuuka scoffed as she watched a bloody top hat get drifted away by the summer night breeze. It had been some time since a fool had decided to vandalise her garden, and it was the first time the damage had been this extensive AND annoying, not including the times that it got caught up as collateral in some of her fights though but it was still very annoying. She was about to start fixing the garden when she heard reality rip. She turned to face it and pointed her parasol at the gap.

"Whoah there Yuuka! Calm down! Let's talk this out like the elegant ladies we are hmm?" The gap youkai walked out of it with her hands up.

"What the hell happened?"

"That's what I am here to ask."

Yuuka clicked her tounge and lowered her parasol, Yukari did the same with her arms. "Some brat I've never seen before decided to mess with my Garden and died. That's it."

"Usually you'd deal with those fine without your double spark though?" Yukari pointed out.

"And that's what I'm curious about too, some hard to kill pest shows up, messes with my garden, and clearly does not recognize me. Did you bring it in?"

"I have not brought any new youkai to Gensokyo for the past week if that's what you're asking. Coincidentally, I was about to head out to get some supplies for Remillia when you started blasting. Ran's busy with Chen getting sick."

Yuuka sighs. "I'm going to ask you to look into this then just in case any more of this happens."

"Aww... why don't you do it yourself?" Yukari fake-complains "I've been running ragged running around solving incidents lately, why not let little old me rest?"

Annoyed, Yuuka replied, "One, this is clearly your fault for not watching over the barrier like you should. Two, you've been getting fatter and fatter everytime I see you, go get some excercise! Sunflowers probably get more excercise following the sun than you do."

Yukari grinned, "Are you perhaps insecure that you cant gro- eek!" and was unceremoniously kicked back into her gap with a squeak. It closed behind her.

"Damned hag."

"You're older than me."

"Shut it."
