Chapter 28
Zoo
It's really a calm day, the wind blew softly and sun was covered with thick cloud. Using the advantage, a small group of children went to the zoo.
"Why do you pick zoo?" it's rare to find Hikari opened up the chat.
"Cheap and funny," Takeru simply replied, a small grin at his face.
"I don't really agree with it, but it's better here than going to mall again," Daisuke sneered playfully as he glanced at the brunette girl, which his statement caught her in a blush.
"H-hey! What are you implying to?" Hikari snapped, and the boys shared a look before laughed.
"Caution : do not feed any animals here," Takeru read the announcement board carefully.
"Who cares?" Daisuke scoffed. "I just want to share what I have. Is that something really wrong?" he added as he checked his small backpack.
"At least, we should not break the rule as long as we can," Hikari wisely said, and Takeru simply nodded with the girl's statement.
"Geez, okay okay!" Daisuke finally swung his hands in defeat.
They went in and saw many animals. Of course, those who got attracted with it would gather around and have some picture with it.
The place that quite crowded was at the elephant's. There's an event which was allowing people to rode the elephant for free.
"That's why this place is so noisy," Takeru quickly covered his ears when they passed.
"I'll never have a mind to wait for queue with that lost count of people," Daisuke sighed, although that he really wanted to be on the back of that giant mammal.
"Let's check another place," Hikari suggested, and the boys nodded in agreement.
They went to so many place. The first place that they went in was a cat house. Despite that Hikari's ebullience to check out that place, Daisuke and Takeru couldn't argue with the girl. After all, they did want Hikari to be happy.
"Waah! Look at that cat! How cutee~" Hikari looked from the display with shimmering eyes.
"Oh come on. You already have one," Daisuke spoke out.
"But I have to agree. It's so cute," Takeru was squeezing his knuckle, helping him not to rush down and cuddle the cat.
Daisuke wasn't really interested with cats, but he really wanted to spent his time with his happy friends.
"Uhm… you guys won't stay here forever, right?" Daisuke's statement quickly made Hikari and Takeru realized that both of them had stared at the cat for a few minutes.
"Uhm…" Hikari murmured, and reluctantly leave the place.
"Don't worry. We still can back here anytime we want," Takeru assured her, and Hikari nodded her head.
They didn't realize they had spent two hours at the zoo. They decided to take a rest under a tree. Coincidentally, the sun had risen right above them, so it's pretty hot to be outside.
"Hey!" Daisuke's call made Takeru and Hikari who were waiting for him glanced back, and smiled widely.
"Look what I have!" Daisuke handed them a plastic bag with many ice cream in it.
"Whoaa! Ice cream for this sunny afternoon!" Takeru exclaimed and grab some for him, while Daisuke and Hikari counting the rest.
"Hey Takeru. You're not going to devour all of it, right?" Daisuke sweat-dropped at the view.
"Mmph!" Takeru replied with no word, because his mouth was occupied with the ice cream.
Daisuke laughed and Hikari giggled. When Takeru acted like a child, it's really funny for them. Especially, when Hikari remembered Takeru when he was child and compared with him that had already eleven. There's still a few times when he and his past wasn't changed ; act like child and at the same time adorable to be seen.
"Where's the last place we should see?" Daisuke asked, his hands lazily rested on the back of his neck.
"Cat!" Hikari almost shouted, and it made Daisuke and Takeru a bit surprised.
"Again?" Takeru raised his eyebrow, and then made no comment when Hikari whined.
"You said that we can go to that place anytime? Come on…" Hikari pouted, and both of boys couldn't argue, again.
"Well… let's go," Daisuke said slowly, and he walked toward the direction they had before, followed by Takeru and Hikari.
When they reached…
"What's on earth…" Daisuke gaped his mouth, so did Takeru. Hikari puffed his cheeks lightly.
The cat house was full of crowd, and they had no idea how it could be happened.
"Wait a minute. When the crowd have moved here…" Takeru blinked.
"It means… the elephant's place is now empty!" Daisuke added excitedly.
"Sorry Hikari. I think we can't go through that countless crowd. Let's check at elephant's place!" Hikari made no comment. She also wanted to have some ride on elephant.
Luckily, Daisuke's expectation was right ; the queue was only a few people.
They waited patiently, but for no luck the bell rang. It meant, that's the time for the elephant to take a rest.
"Haaah…" Daisuke, Takeru, and Hikari sighed loudly. The tamer of the elephant saw this, and smiled.
"You guys can ride, for the last time," hearing his words made the three of them beamed.
"REALLY? YAAAY!" they yelled like hell and climbed up at elephant's back. The elephant started to move, and Daisuke hummed a song which then continued by Takeru and later Hikari.
When they went down, they thanked the officer and quickly rushed out because the zoo was going to be closed.
"Wah! It's really beyond my expectation!" Daisuke raised his arms happily. They were now walking slowly and decided to go home.
"Yeah, so did I," Hikari added, and glanced at the blond for his reaction.
"Umm…" Takeru mumbled.
"If we go to that zoo again, I'll make sure to buy all of the ice creams there," Takeru grinned widely.
"So, we're going all the way inside and only the ice cream that stuck in your mind?!" Daisuke yelled in disbelief.
"Is that something wrong?" Takeru replied innocently.
Daisuke slapped his forehead, and made wrote down a note at his small book.
"Destination on zoo ; cat's house, ice cream, and elephant,"
Yah, random writing again. I haven't checked for the spelling and grammar, though I really believe that there's LOT of them for this chapter, so my apologize if you don't enjoy this.
Nevertheless, I'll be back soon! See you!
