It really took her mind off things. This place was so unaffected by the war. She felt bad for feeling better already, but that felt like a stupid thing to feel bad about. Shaking away these confusing thoughts, Sakura followed the classic video game princess to their destination. Sakura balked a little, putting her student bag over her shoulder. [color=f49ac2]"Um...heheh. Guess we won't be needing that. That's the biggest pineapple I've ever seen in my whole life."[/color] She said. Sakura giggled as Peach forgot she could walk on water. When it came down to her turn to pick some fruit, she tore off a junk of pineapple and bit into it. [color=f49ac2]"Wow! It's really sweet. And not dirty at all, which is crazy cuz its just been sitting here."[/color] Sakura ditched the big piece of pineapple and went over to the watermelon. She karate chopped a big slice off and held it over her shoulder by the crust. [color=f49ac2]"Watermelon!"[/color] She held it over her head victoriously. [color=f49ac2][i]"Yattaze."[/i][/color] She said proudly to herself. She set the watermelon down on the ground at the campfire crust down, so everyone could eat it. [color=f49ac2]"[i]Uoooh, sugoi![/i] Good job everyone!"[/color] She set, placing her hands on her hips. Cadet and Link had set up a campfire. This Galeemified guy had borrowed some bananas from a monkey (Sakura liked him already) and Link had gotten fish. Geralt was...still big. Nadia was making cat puns. Blazermate was making her zombies do weird things. Bella and Ranger were taking part, too. Peach had brought her fruit, and Nadia was making cat puns. Shippy was there, and that kid with the Hat was around, too. Everyone was here! Except...well. Brineybeard. Sakura crossed her legs and sat down. She slapped her palms together and bowed.[color=f49ac2][i]"Itadakimasu!"[/i][/color] She shouted. With that, she began eating her portion of what was gathered. The fruit was delicious, as fresh as could possibly be. [color=f49ac2]"This is way better than store bought."[/color] She said. Kamek arrived with good news. Sakura's face lit up and she went to cheer happily. Instead a watermelon seed got caught in her throat. [color=f49ac2][i]"WOO- clughf-khkek-... ptoo!"[/i][/color] She wiped her mouth. She moved on, undeterred. [color=f49ac2]"[i]Woohoo![/i] That is awesome news! Those cats are amazing!"[/color] She shot both of her hands up in a peace signs. Sakura stood to her feet. [color=f49ac2]"Hey, Bowser, Mr. L, shut up a minute, wouldja?" [/color] She asked in a polite but blunt way that left no room for argument. Holding a piece of watermelon in her hand like it was a cup, Sakura cleared her throat. [color=f49ac2]"I know today really sucked. But we're one step closer to our goal of kicking Galeem's butt. But with Brineybeard alive and wishing us well, the Seekers are doing okay."[/color] She took a quick bite out of the red and green fruit in her gloved hand. [color=f49ac2]"I just- I just think you guys are really great. I've known some fantastic heroes in my time and you guys are really up there with them. So when we beat up Galeem and everyone goes home, it'll be good to know that those places have got you guys watchin' out for 'em."[/color] She smiled and tried to subtly take another bite. When she realised a lot of eyes were on her she became embarassed. [color=f49ac2]"Uh. So. Yeah. A fruit toast to the good guys. I just wish we had music for our party."[/color] She concluded and sat back down at her spot in the campfire. [color=f49ac2]"Hehe..."[/color] Hopefully someone else said a few words so she didn't feel so awkward. Someone better at speeches, maybe.
