Sakurai Story Time #2: Our First Time Getting Lost

Kanade and Yukino: IT'S THE SAKURAI TWINS' STORY TIME CORNER~!

Kanade: So…now what?

Yukino: What do you mean?

Kanade: Last time, I got to pick the topic for our story. Now, it's your turn.

Yukino: Oh! Right, right! Let's see…

Kanade: Oh, you better not tell some embarrassing stories about me, okay?

Yukino: (pouts) Boo~! It'll be more fun for the readers to enjoy.

Kanade: Forget it!

Yukino: Fine. (hits her palm with her fist) Hey! I know! Let's tell them about some of our childhood memories?

Kanade: (sits back in her chair, smiling) I don't see why not. Let's do it.

Yukino: Okay! And I know just what to tell them! Remember our school trip in elementary school?

Kanade: Which one?

Yukino: We were going to an apple orchard with the rest of the kids.

Kanade: Oh, my gosh! I can't believe I forgot about that! Well, you go on ahead since you remember most of the stuff.

Yukino: I'd be happy to! (clears throat) It was a bright sunny day and all of us kids were boarding the busses to go to the apple orchard. Of course, we had to walk through some areas that contained some little critters and stuff. And Kana-chan was clinging on to me like she's scared or something.

Kanade: No, I wasn't!

Yukino: Hehe~! It's true, you know? I clearly remember you being afraid of bugs and other little critters when we were little.

Kanade: We were only 6 at the time!

Yukino: Anyways, we get to this huge grassy area where the buses arrived and all of us were together with the teacher. She was leading us through the tall grass and all of us were bunched up together, so we could see each other. And Kana-chan hung onto me like glue. Hehe! She was too scared about bugs suddenly jumping out at her~!

Kanade: Please stop telling everyone about my worst fears!

Yukino: You were so cute back then!

Kanade: Just tell the rest of the story, please!

Yukino: Alright, alright. So, one we got through the tall grass, she led us to this long bridge with a river flowing nicely below us. She even showed us some cool fish that were swimming below us. Kana-chan and I were mesmerized by this.

After we got across the bridge, we finally arrived at the apple orchard. There were rows and rows of trees that has apples fully grown on them. It was like we were in apple heaven! However, the embarrassing part was that my stomach growled very loudly for most of the kids to hear and they laughed at us because of it. The reason why I was so hungry was because I overslept and missed breakfast and the buses were going to leave right away as school started. I wanted to eat an apple so badly. Kana-chan noticed this and asked our teacher if we could have one. She nodded and allowed us to eat one apple. So, all of us gathered around this huge basket of apples next to a shed. Kana-chan took two apples and handed one of them to me. And then, all of us were on our way to look at other things next to the orchard when something had caught my eye. I was so curious I ran the other direction without the other kids noticing, except for Kana-chan.

Kanade: Didn't we go too far because of that?

Yukino: Yes. What happened was there was a cute bunny rabbit running around, so I went after it. As soon as it stopped, I stopped as well to pet it. It was very gentle to me and I was cuddling it like it was my very own pet. Kana-chan followed me and yelled, "No, Yuki-chan! We have to go back! Our class is waiting for us!" Realizing that she was right, I turned around and both of us were going back to the orchard, but then we realized…we didn't know where in the world we were! I had ran so far from the rest of the class, chasing that bunny that I didn't pay attention to where I was. I felt so stupid back then. The feeling of stupidity left me feeling very scared and lonely. Yes, I was the one who was getting scared. I had both of us get lost in this huge atmosphere. I'm not gonna lie, I was crying my eyes out while thinking no one would find us. And then, I heard Kana-chan crying. She felt so sorry for me that she stayed by my side the whole time we were crying.

I don't know how long we were out there, but to me, it seemed like hours. Bu then, as if a miracle happened, a girl from our class popped up. We didn't know her very well since we didn't talk to her as much, but she was relieved when she found us alone, crying. She told us that they had been looking for us when they had noticed we had run off. We were so happy that she found us that we followed this girl. We had walked for at least a half-hour or so, so we had gone pretty far from our class. We arrived at a lunch area with rows of tables. There, we saw our classmates and teacher. And another thing: we were just in time for lunch and after we eat, we were going to return to the school.

Kanade: So, both of us had learned a valuable lesson, or at least you did, right, Yuki-chan?

Yukino: Yeah…I got a good scolding after I had admitted my mistakes.

Kanade: So, now you know not to wander off to unknown places, right?

Yukino: Of course! But I won't be scared or lonely because you're always there for me, Kana-chan~!

*chu~*

Kanade: Oh, you…
