Sakura had been stressed out as the timer ticked town, nervously tapping her fingers together. Sweat dripped down her forehead as the fates of her friends became increasingly unclear. At that final moment, she looked plain sick. But when it came to light that not only were they victorious, Sakura switched gears and jumped for joy, clenching her fists together by her chin. [color=f49ac2]"We did it...I knew we could do it!"[/color] Sakura pumped her arms. [color=f49ac2]"And you were all like,"[/color] Sakura went over to Bella.[color=f49ac2] "Oh, mon cherie, we are doomed! Oh, no, mon cherie!" [/color]Sakura held the back of her hand up to her head dramatically, like she was about to feint. Her impression of Bella was also pretty good, even if it was played up.[color=f49ac2] "But instead you kicked, uh, total ass, I believe is the scientific term."[/color] She nudged Bella in the shoulder. [color=f49ac2]"And you guys-"[/color] Sakura opened her arms wide to the rest. [color=f49ac2]"Nailed it! Flawless victory!"[/color] Sakura struck a fighting pose. [color=f49ac2]"You even defeated someone with mind control powers? In short, we rule, Master Hand drools."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"I mean, I guess Mirage-san is a casualty, but he's probably drawing up a hot bath for himself as we speak. If anything, I'm a little jealous..." [/color]Sakura said, trailing off. [color=f49ac2]"I mean, my outfit is totally ruined, but, I plain on getting my old clothes back the moment I give Araisho-san's spirit back to where it belongs."[/color] She said resolutely, mixing her simple priorities with a somber note. Sakura listened to what Bowser and the others had to say about some stuff. About the Master Hand. Weird. Didn't sound like anyone stood a chance against Galeem when he first arrived... [color=f49ac2]"Speaking of spirits...geez. I mean, I don't want to be rude or anything..." [/color]Sakura looked at Kamek and Blazermate. Grimacing, the gears turned in her head. [color=f49ac2]"...So, I won't!"[/color] She said chipperly. [color=f49ac2]"Hope those powers come in handy. Everyone'll be freer and happier once we wipe the floor with this boss. That was just a warm up."[/color] She punched her knuckles together. [color=f49ac2]"But I feel good about our chances. We're almost done. And once we get back to Limsa, I know a lady who probably has her own private section of the beach. At the very least, she can get us some fresh pastries to eat."[/color] Sakura said. She turned to see what her new friend thought of that, only to realise she wasn't here. Rika went off to look for her, and Sakura trailed behind. Turned out, New Southern wasn't in a very good mood. [color=f49ac2]"Yeah, don't kill yourself!"[/color] Sakura said in an unintentionally bright voice. [color=f49ac2]"There's so much to do and see! You should at least give it a shot. You Abyssals really got the short stick when it came to your lot in life, so if there's one good thing to come out of this Galeem situation it's giving people like you a chance. And you can pick out a name! You look like a...Wendy. Or a Dorothy. And your crab pet could be Toto."[/color] She snickered, making a joke. A joke that nobody else in this little group understood. Sakura's smile turned into a good natured wince. [color=f49ac2]"...or not. No pressure."[/color]
