AMUSEMENT
"I want the purple one!"
"I want the blue one!"
A pissed off blunette wrapped her hands around her hair and tugged at it with a frustrated sigh.
It was a stupid crane machine. She couldn't get one of the stuffed animals unless she crawled into the damn thing! Crane machines were so not her forte. Let her at it with one credit on Time Crisis 4 and she would finish it without breaking a sweat. However, her daughters couldn't exactly understand the joy in shooting soldiers and mechanical bugs. The Fujino-Kuga toddlers were rather interested in a transparent box that held a diversity of brightly colored plushies.
"Natsuki-mama, get the blue one!"
"Ie! Purple!"
And so, a chibi battle ensued when one of them shoved the other.
"Oi! That's enough, you two!" Natsuki pulled the younger kid away from the other, who followed suite and lunged at them both, causing the biker to slip, her head hitting the glass covering of the crane machine, breaking the fragile barrier.
"MAMA!"

That night, Shizuru came home to find Natsuki, who sported a bandaged forehead and two ecstatic kids who were showing off their newly attained toys. One purple and one blue.
