Thank god for today being Sunday. No one woke me up and I didn't have any dreams. A restful night. Natasha made simple eggs and sausages for breakfast. The weather was getting a little windy and dad said that this is a good season to practice running against the wind.

"Dad, if we keep running against the wind, how are we going to get home?" I ask

He laughs. "Well, you just need to go around the world and make it back safely."

"But there are oceans, and what would happen if a bunch of hitmans appear?"

"Ahhh... What a smart girl." He patted my head. "That's why Shiro's going with you. Now good luck." And he closes the door.

I sigh. "I guess we should get going."

Shiro pointed in the direction of where the wind was coming from. "It's that way." He said.

We started jogging down the streets with cool winds blowing in our face. I didn't tie my hair today, so once in a while it would brush my face. I put on my hood to maintain my hair from going to my face, and then look up into the sky. I wish I could fly, it would be so fun.

"Hey, Shiro"

"Yes?"

"What happen to the octopus? Did someone eat it?" I ask

"Hmmm...it's at the fish tank. No one wanted to eat it so we keep it as a pet."

"Wont the fish get eaten?"

"It's surprising actually; the fishes are like buddies with the octopus."

"Is that so?"

My imagination of the octopus being friends with the fishes disappears with a bark. I look back and saw a big dog chasing after us.

"Akk! Run!" I scream as I pick up speed. Shiro ran alongside me and smile.

"Why are you smiling? Aren't you going to do something about that dog?" I ask.

"I thought that this would be a good exercise for you." He said

I sigh. "Okay! Plan A, run as fast as you can." After a few seconds the dog was way closer than it was before. "Plan B, use roller skates!"

" wants you to run, not roller skates." He explain

"Hmmm... that makes plan c. This is the greatest sacrifice a girl can make!" I said in a fiery voice.

"Ummm... Miss .Saru?"

"Give to dog food Shiro!" I yelled out.

He dug in the bag and got out a basket of food, and then he threw it to the dog. The dog stops chasing us and dug in the basket for food. Shiro and I ran all the way to the forest to get away from the dog. When I got tier of running, we sat by a tree and rest.

The winds made the leafs clatter and fall. It was autumn so the leafs had turn yellow, and the weather was getting colder by the day.

I took off my hood and felt the breeze blew through my hair. My heart's rapidly beating and my legs are tier.

Shiro got up and said "okay! Let's go!"

"What? But we just sat down!" I complained

"According to this rule book it said to only rest for thirty seconds" he said while opening a small book.

"No way! Who wrote that book?"

"Your father."

It's very like father to write these kinds of things. Never giving me any breaks.

"I guess it can't be help." I said as I got up. "Okay! I'll do my best"

Shiro and I ran through branches of trees. Up big hills and down small hills. Every once in a while we would stop to check the wind currents to make sure it's the right way. The forest has many obstacles, so I needed to be careful of where I step. As we went farther the winds became stronger.

Shiro look up to the sky "the weather doesn't look too good, what you say if we head back?"

"Head back?"

"It's dangerous in the forest when it's windy, branches of trees can hurt us"

Going back is not a bad idea. It's the fact that we've been out here for three hours. Every Sunday I need to do four hours of exercise. If I go back now, it's not going to be very pleasant; father does have his mean side. It'll be quick, just one more hour and we're finish.

"It's only dangerous if your scare, that's what father always, tell me." I said with a smile.

"But..." he trail off

"Hey, don't worry, if a branch flies at us, and then we'll use a baseball bat to hit it. Right?" I suggested

His worries went away "right" but then he looked confuse. ", we didn't bring a baseball bat."

I laugh. "Hahaha! I was only joking."

I point at a tree and said. "Let's try something different. I want to clime that tree on a windy day."

Shiro stare at the bottom of the tree to the top, then at me, and back at the tree. "Ummm... , you might want to rethink this."

"No way, I think this is going to be very fun." I walk over to the tree and reach up.

"Wait!"

He got out the rule book and flip through it fast. "There must be something in here." Is what he said as he read through the book. When he read it four times he gave up. He sighs. "There's nothing."

I tug on one of the branches to see if it was strong enough, then I clime on it and look down at Shiro. He was doing some form of meditation. He does that when he worries too much.

"See? Nothing happen," I said as I try to climb on to another branch.

When I reach half way up I giggle "this is fun"

The wind blew and the tree swayed. I hold on tight and manage to stay on. Shiro tensed, ready to jump into action if something happen. I climb higher.

This time when a gust of wind blew, the tree cracked at the bottom. The tree started to fall down, but was counter by another tree. The tree I was hanging on is now leaning on another tree. I still hang on to the diagonal tree.

"! Are you okay?" He yelled

"You don't need to be so loud. I'm not that far away." I said in a calm voice

I got up and stand on the diagonal tree trunk. I slowly walk down and made it back safely.

Shiro let out a breath. "We should get going now. "

"But I still need like 30 more minutes" I said

"If we run back it'll take about an hour, is that okay?"

"Yea. I guess so."

And so with that we headed home.
