	A few minutes passed, and the ocean wind and the blazing sun resulted in the soaked student being dried off quite quickly. Soon she was confident that she wasn't going to immediately ruin Isabelle's gift with saltwater, so she went ahead and put the replacement outfit on. Besides, her old one had been through a lot, though she had done her best to maintain it. But with no laundry machine or clean water to wash with, this new uniform was really a blessing.

	[color=fff79a]"You know,"[/color] Sakura said with a litte chuckle, [color=fff79a]"I joined my first big fighting tournament on a whim on my way home from school. I just showed up in my first year uniform. After that, the look just kind of stuck."[/color] She shrugged with a smile. She spoke to anyone nearby, anyone who wanted to listen. The memory had occured to her and she wanted to speak of it. Sakura was an open book, intentionally and otherwise.

	[color=fff79a]"Same thing happened this time, too. Was on my way home from school...and then, I wasn't..."[/color] Sakura had accidentally made herself a little sad, and it showed on her easily readable face.

	Fortunately, another distraction had presented itself just in time. Fish! Lots of em! Sakura peaked overboard and saw...a lot of fish! When visiting the harbor cities of Japan she would occasionally glimpse the mega barges that brought in their boatloads of fish. But this was a fantastical amount of fish. 

	[color=fff79a]"Ooh, wow!"[/color] Sakura exclaimed. But what caught her attention almost immediately was the epic battle happening behind the fisherman. [color=fff79a]"Hey! Hey look!"[/color] Sakura held onto the railing with one hand and pointed at the encounter with the other, and she was literally bouncing up and down. [color=fff79a]"Those two are having a street fight over there!"[/color] While in a fight, one didn't have much time to express how much fun they were having. But as a spectator her enthusiasm for martial arts was plain to see.

	[color=fff79a]"I'm rooting for the clown! [color=fff79a]WOOOOOH! YEAH![/color] Go clown!" [/color] She began pumping her fist in the air. Quickly this evolved into her punching, until she was doing a full on Shotokan karate routine on the edge of the ship. With strong punches, high kicks that were so high they borded on vertical, and ten foot leaps into the air punctuated by spin kicks that propelled her forward. 

	Upon realising she was missing the fight, she skidded to a stop and turned her attention back to the faraway fight, squinting at it. She gripped the railing and leaned far forward. Far, far forward. It almost looked like was going to go over again.
