[Among the slowly flourishing shrubbery in the front yard of a quaint little house is Orihime, on her knees and busy at work. Ever since the snow started to melt and the ground started to thaw, she wasted no time getting to work on a small garden for her home. She'd already had the seeds in addition to all the gardening items she'd wished up, but

[Here Inoue, have two cats getting up in your business, because they are cats and this is what cats do. One of them is familiar, the other is not, but the cats are clearly together; a silver tabby Turkish Van named Killinator and a bob-tailed calico who's name you don't know yet. Killinator rubs on Inoue's legs while the calico cat is examining some of her gardening equipment.

Their owner isn't far behind, of course. It's the crazy cat Hollow, Shiro!]

Killinator! Akumi! What are ya... ah! Inoue-san!

[halycon_days]

[The tabby was all too familiar once it approached her, while the calico that seemed to be investigating, was not. But if the former was the cat she thought it was, then that meant the owner would hopefully be close as well.

Turning around, she found Shiro coming and immediately a big smile broke out on her face. She hadn't seen him for quite some time! She raised her slightly dirt-caked hand to wave at the familiar friend.]

Shiro-kun! It's so good to see you!

[holeheart]

So that's where you guys gout off to. Sniffin' out friends, huh?

[The Hollow smiles, surprisingly warmly, happy to see the Orihime he knows the best again after what seemed like so long. He jogs to get over to the garden, then puts his hands in his pockets]

Ah, Akumi is here too. You don't know her, but she's sweet. What're ya up to?

[halycon_days]

[She was about to pet Akumi in greeting when she realized her hands were a lot dirtier than she thought. For now, she gives the cat a smile in place of the petting.]

She seems very curious! But that's what also makes her really cute too!

[She had forgotten about her gardening for a split second when Shiro showed up, so as he asked what she was doing, it all came back to her.]

I'm preparing the dirt for my garden! In a few weeks, I'm going to plant all sorts of things!

[holyfight]

*this Hime is out for a stroll!*

Oh! What are you planting? I should start my garden, too!

[halycon_days]

[An Orihime has been spotted!]

Ah, hello, Me-chan!

[She takes a little break from her work and wipes her dirt-covered hands on her apron, looking bemusedly at the other Orihime.]

I'm going to plant some vegetables and some flowers! What are you going to put in yours?

[holyfight]

I was thinking strawberries and some herbs and lots of gladiolus! And maybe a cactus or two!

[halycon_days]

A cactus? That's such a great idea! I bet most people around here don't have any cacti in their gardens! And I'm sure those gladiolus will look beautiful when they're all done growing!
