"Rukia."

"Rukia, come on let's get going."

Ichigo sighed in frustration as Rukia continued to ignore him. Trying to get Rukia out of the ballpit at McDonalds was proving to be an impossible task.

"Rukia, you're not supposed to be in there. This is for kids only. Mind you you're short enough to pass for one."

This comment earned Ichigo a ball to the face.

Ichigo scowled.

"Midget we're going. NOW. Don't make me come in there and get you." Ichigo threatened.

Rukia's response to this threat was to pelt Ichigo with a flurry of plastic balls.

"Rukia quit it!….Aaah!…STOP PELTING ME WITH BALLS YOU STUPID MIDGET!"

Ichigo's pleas fell on deaf ears, as plastic balls continued to rain down upon him.

"Allright, you asked for it." Ichigo growled as he advanced through a hail of balls to the ballpit and then jumped in.


The ballpit in McDonalds had been turned into a warzone. The floor around the ballpit was littered with errant balls that had strayed from their targets. During the battle the sounds of balls bouncing around and loud shouts whenever someone scored a hit could be heard coming from the ballpit.

At the moment however the battle was at a standstill and all was quiet. Inside the ballpit Ichigo's hands were full of ammunition as he watched the currently motionless sea of balls around him. Rukia's preferred tactic was to hide underneath the sea of balls and then pop up unexpectedly for a surprise attack before quickly disappearing back underneath the sea of balls. She had already been under there for several minutes and Ichigo knew that she was going to make her move soon.

Ichigo was intently concentrating on the sea of balls, watching for any signs of Rukia's impending attack, when a voice interrupted his concentration.

"Uh, excuse me. We've been getting complaints from some uh customers and I'm umm going to have to ask you to leave." A nervous looking teenager in the McDonald's uniform informed Ichigo from outside the ballpit.

Ichigo slowly dropped the balls in his arms as he noticed the eyes of everyone else in the restaurant were on him.


"I can't believe we just got kicked out of McDonalds by some pubescent teenager."

Rukia laughed "It was pretty funny though when that old lady called you a hooligan and started going on about how some people never grow up."

"It was not funny. It was so embarrassing to have everyone in the restaurant staring at us. I can't believe I got pulled into something as childish as playing in a ballpit." Ichigo said with a scowl on his face as he remembered their walk of shame out of the McDonalds.

"It was fun though, wasn't it?" Rukia said, smiling up at Ichigo.

Ichigo's lip twitched. It had been pretty fun.

But he'd never admit it.


A/N: I used to love playing in the McDonalds Playplaces. There was a place near my house called Crash Crawleys which was like a giant McDonalds Playplace and it had a giant ballpit. My friends used to always have Birthday parties there, I had a couple of Birthday parties there too. Too bad I'm too old for that now!
