It is the day after I aided my friends in rescuing Spike. I need to appear as though I actually got good sleep tonight. That shouldn’t be difficult on the count of I am pretty good at lying know. That thought almost made me flinch, good at lying. That's not a good thing I shouldn’t lie to my family but since it’s for their own good it’s the right thing to do.
Today is going to be a great day because it is the founding festival. There will be rides, games, and lots of food. For once I will be allowed in the public but with an escort which is fine with me. Besides, I get plenty of time in public already with my friends. My parents just don’t know that and don’t need to. I need some freedom after all.
My parents went to give their speech and I was on the side happily supporting them.
“Today is a great day for today one of the most modern cities of the earth nation was founded. This city may be a beacon of hope and prosperity to all. It has helped in many functions through the usage of the grand train rail it helped to develop by its founders to the donations for the earth empire caused by its various influential people such as yourself. For your dedication to the empire I wish you all a wonderful founding celebration.” Mom said with words of confidence and respect towards the people of Zaofu. I am glad that my mom has such high respect for the people of the earth empire. She has always been one to appreciate hard work and has congratulated people for it, including me. And I have to thank her for that.
I then met up with Haku. He also has a body guard with him and we all are happy to see one another. I saw that goofy smile when he saw me and couldn’t help but smile at myself. “Haku.” I said. As I hugged my dear friend.
“Ditzy.” He said as he hugged me “It’s so good to see you.” He said with joy and gratitude and the fact that we have a day together.
“It’s good to see you two Haku how you been?” I asked.
“Well my dad and I are getting along great. He's even congratulated me on some of the ideas I have for the earth empire.” He said.
“Well that’s good to hear.” I said.
“Enough of that, let's have some fun.” He spoke excitedly.
We then proceeded to go on various rides such as the spinner and my personal favorite the splashernator. We had fun soaking each other with water. Laughing happily as we did so.
We then went to play some of the games winning various prizes. My favorite was this large adorable chibi stuffed version of a creature like me but with a green coat and green and yellow curly hair. Since I came into the picture people have been creating all sorts of versions of my appearance to the point that it has become a popular kids toy. I think it was very cool with so many people showcasing me in such a sentimental and adorable measure. Plus it was adorable and I know my parents will also love this.
We then went to sit down with my parents while we enjoyed some carnival food, meat on a stick, noodles, and some deep fried neros for dessert.
“So did the two of you have fun?” Mom asked in a friendly tone.
“Of course we went on all the rides.” I said.
“Well that’s good everyone needs to have a little fun every now and then.” Mom said.
“Yeah it’s nice to not get so cooked up inside.” I said.
“Yeah I know what you mean with all the meetings your mother and I have to attend. It can get very overwhelming.” Dad said.
“Well you can always take a break.” I offered.
“Take a break, we can't do what the empire needs us.” Mom pointed out.
“But you also can’t work yourself to death.” I said.
“She’s right you know overwork has been proven to do numbers on the brain.” Dad said logically.
“I know but we’re not overworking ourselves, we're even out enjoying the festivities.” Mom stated.
“True well so long as you don’t overdo it I won’t have an issue.” I said.
“There;s no reason for you to have an issue over my work stress.” Mom said.
“You sound just like my dad, don't worry about me well I will worry because it’s good to just try not to overwork yourself you and my dad sometimes have that in common.” Haku pointed out.
Mom just laughed “Don’t worry Haku I won’t.” Mom said.
We then enjoyed our dinner. The fried food hit my tongue. Oh how I miss fried foods I’ve always been allowed to have them at carnivals which I loved and certain holidays. I then tasted the deep fried neros. The warm fried taste hit my tongue with its softness and the generally delicious taste filled me with a sense of joy.
We then went to have dinner. Haku was even invited, which just made my day. We talked the whole time about how we have been enjoying various aspects such as the wedding as well as the day together. We then began to talk about the past as we enjoyed our time together rather it be after school at the park or playing with the other kids. I genuinely enjoyed my childhood. It was full of many wonderful memories that I will carry and hold dear throughout adulthood and I am very grateful for all the memories we made. It was all very fun to talk about.
I then went to bed at the same time because I had so much fun but I knew I would need my rest eventually especially after the stress of the night before with rescuing Spike and all those other kids from unjust conversation into another species. However, I got to enjoy the day with my friend and even my family. I couldn't be happier for that reason.
