Happy's Worst Enemy

Akane sighed as she leaned back against the Claw Machine. She glanced at her watch. They've been in that same spot for one hour, already…

"Miyuki, don'cha think ya should give it up? You're gonna end up regretting it."

"I can't give up now!" The girl with the pigtails responded, not even turning away from the game to look at her friend. "If I give up now, all the sacrifices that were made will be in vain, and I won't stand for that!"

"Ya know… I'm sure ya said that exact same thing when we fought Wolfrun and his gang once. Y'might need to tone down the drama."

No responses from Miyuki. Once again the claws of the crane closed in thin air. With the same determination, the young heroine shoved one more coin into the machine's slot.

"…. Oh, come on. I know that's a limited edition and ya want it because it looks like Pop, but you're gonna ask me why I didn't stop ya once you're done blowin' all of your allowance on that game, man."

Still no responses. This time, Miyuki had caught something. But it wasn't the plushie she had been aiming for… So it joined all of the others in a bag at her feet, and the pink girl once again cramed her allowance into her enemy's open maw.

"Yeah, okay, I'm gonna get us some drinks. " Akane said, somewhat amused by her friend's stubbornness to get that lion. Typical Miyuki…

"Grape Juice for me! …. Aaah, not again!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know."
