32nd Teddy Bear [Video]

[Elicia has had a really great New Feather round. For one thing, dad was back. For another, so was Sanji. These reasons alone made her the happiest person in all of Luceti (save for maybe... I dunno, Grune. She's always pretty happy and stuff. Oh, and that dog Dug she hasn't met yet). But otherwise, happiest! And when she pops in on video to

[Someone else who understands the importance of wrapping up and keeping warm? And hot chocolate?!]

Ohhhh! Don't forget to wear a scarf too, and your galoshes! If you get too cold and become sick then daddy will scold you and you can't go to the ranch. And then there's hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is tasty~♫

[rollypolyclover]

You do?! [Guess who recently learnt how to ride a bike before coming here?!] Does it have training wheels on so you don't fall off? If I'm gonna be chased, I don't want to fall and get eaten by some big sad boney dinosaur!!

[asobouyo]

Uuuumm, I got the training wheels took off, but we can put them back on if it'll keep us extra safe from dinosaurs!

[rollypolyclover]

You had them taken off?! ...Is Yotsuba behind with the times yet again? [...] Now I really need to learn how to cycle good like daddy and Fuuka and... Asagi and Tora... and everyone else! Otherwise dinosaaaurs will eat everyone!!

[asobouyo]

That's okay! I'm six, but when I first got here I was five and I didn't know how to ride a bike without training wheels then! It doesn't take very long if you work hard!

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhhh! Someday, Yotsuba will be six too... Before then, I should work really hard to learn to ride a bike with training wheels. Daddy will be really impressed when he finds out!!

[asobouyo]

He'll be super proud!! You can come over whenever you want and I'll show you how to do it!

[rollypolyclover]

Really super proud!! Yotsuba will come over right away, right now! [Seeing as she's used to just wandering over to the neighbours house whenever back home she's quite happy to do the same here. Too bad people live much further apart than next door here.

The journal falls silent for a moment... And then Yotsuba returns!] Where am I going? [Seems she had already walked out the door before realising she has no idea where to go.]

[asobouyo]

Uuuuh!! Mama and papa call it House 23!! If y'walk down the road there's a bridge, too!!

[rollypolyclover]

Twenty three? Ohhh. Okay okay, got'chya. I'm off again! [Whoosh. And away she goes...

...Only to return again shortly.] I'm not supposed to leave the 'partment on my own. You can come with me though! ['You' being 'the journal'. Picking it up now.] I'm allowed to go to the store and stuff on my own, but new places I should visit with Otonashy first.

[asobouyo]

O-oh, but I can't leave the apartment on my own, neither!!

[;~;]

O-oh!! I know! Do you go to school?? 'Cause I can bring my bike to school and we can ride it around outside when we're allowed!

[rollypolyclover]

It's okay, we're going to be together now! [The journal totally counts as parental supervision. Yup. And out the door she goes, off in search of house 23!

...She is going to get all sorts of lost.]

School? Ena goes to school, and Fuuka goes to school... Yotsuba doesn't go to school.

[asobouyo]

You don't?? Why not?

[rollypolyclover]

...Dunno. Is Yotsuba old enough to go to school now? Did the Govverment make it so?!

[asobouyo]

Of course you're old enough!! I went to school when I was five!

So you should, too!

[rollypolyclover]

[...Daddy, why you no put her in school sooner? Gosh.]

I should go to school right now! Then Yotsuba will be able to work very hard... And make business cards!!
