AN: I'm sorry about Charlie-san, but the idea had been too tempting to pass on! XD

They sat in their VIP seating area, but Sora couldn't get into the show.
She sighed despondently as she picked at the funnel cake but didn't eat it. How could she enjoy the treat when Charlie-san was no longer alive?
Next to her, Rosetta patted her friend's shoulder. "It'll be ok, Sora. Ken said he buried him in the true fishy fashion."
May flatly stared at the carrot top. Fishy fashion? Pfft. Did they know that meant he just flushed him down the toilet?
Ken caught May's stare and saw the slow grin on her face. He could tell what was on her mind, especially since the grin appeared after Rosetta's comment. He grabbed her forearm and leaned in.
"Don't you dare tell them."
May rolled her eyes and shrugged his hand off of her. "Whatever."

At the intermission, Leon mysterious disappeared, but the group wasn't worried.
He was the least likely to get into trouble.
Though, after the incident in the fun house, Sora wondered if that train of thought was still valid. That had been an accident. She was a little afraid to see what he'd do for something purposefully mischievous.
The crowd began returning to their seats and so did the rest of the gang.
Sora plopped herself back down with her untouched funnel cake and sighed, once more.
"You can stop doing that," came the voice of her partner.
She turned her head to the right to tell him to buzz off and let her grieve when she saw what was in his hands. "Is that-" she cut off when the clear aquarium container was lifted up for her to grab. She blinked as several little goldfish wiggled and swam around in their rectangular home. A big smile graced her face and she took the fish from him.
"Thank you Leon!"
He gave a slow blink, but then nodded.
As long as she wasn't sighing ever five minutes, the little detour had been worth it.
Ken, on the other hand, blanched as he counted at least five fish in the container. "How many rounds of that game did you play?!"
"Two," Leon tonelessly stated as he took his seat behind Sora.
Ken's jaw dropped. The number of fish and the rounds he played didn't match up at all. "But that's not how the game goes! You had to play at least five rounds for five fish!"
Leon shrugged. He didn't get it either.
Too busy munching on her funnel cake and naming her fish, Sora turned to Leon with the container in hand, not knowing that the action made Ken fume even more over the goldfish issue.
"You should name one."
Leon stared at her and then the tank. Most of them looked the same to him, but there was one in particular that had dark markings around his mouth like a permanent smile.
"Happy," he said, pointing at the one he was naming.
Ken scoffed. That was real original. They should just name another one Doopy, Grumpy, and-
"I like it!" Sora beamed, taking in the one Leon had named. "Happy-san it is!"
Why do I even bother? Ken asked himself in a moment of self pity.
