Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

[Navar]

"What?"

Shiron tilted his head. "Honestly? No idea. I know there's a town near mine that researches stuff related to space, but I don't think anyone went there to plant a flower."

 

[Sudmensch]

“Ah,” Dill nodded. “…wait, how did they not hit the sky? That had to have been an issue, right?”

 

[IFBench]

Saltriv thought for a few seconds, then suggested, "Maybe they skipped the sky somehow! Like we did! Or they pierced through it!"

 

[Navar]

"Piercing the heavens sounds fun, but no," Shiron chuckled. "You can't hit the sky, there's nothing to hit there. Just the clouds, I guess? But they're just made of gas."

 

[Fusion]

"Is the sky... solid in your worlds?" Vix asked, her face surfacing in her puddle of herself. "I don't think the sky is supposed to stop anything from going through it."

 

[Sudmensch]

“I, uh… don’t know, now that Shiron’s said so,” Dill said, putting a hand to his head. “Wow… hey, maybe Sal and I could go up there sometime! That’d be awesome, and one heckuva date!”

 

[IFBench]

Saltriv's eyes widened, and their tail began to wag. "It's not solid? Then...yep, what Dill said! That would be an amazing date!"

 

[Fusion]

"That sounds great, hope y'all have fun," Vix bubbled, her face sinking away. They're already at the nickname base? I think that's what that is. And, yeah, just brag about having date plans or whatever, it's not like I care, I'm puddle!

...I mean I'm a... Goddamnit.

 

[Navar]

"Maybe Vix and I can go on one too. Not a date, just having drinks." Shiron smiled at them.

Also I'm defined not going on a proper one unless the universe explodes or something. They don't need to know.

He cleared his throat. "...This is nice. The place, the view and the company."

 

[Sudmensch]

“Yeah,” Dill nodded. “Like, after all that… yeah. We just get to chill, watch the sun set with the squad knowing it’ll rise again. It’s nice.”

 

[IFBench]

"Yep, it's really nice!" Saltriv said, curling their vine in a second loop around Dill's hand. "We've saved the world, together! And now we have time to relax and spend time together!"

They watched as the sun touched the horizon.

 

[Fusion]

"Maybe Vix and I can go on one too. Not a date, just having drinks." Shiron smiled at them.

Vix reformed her head just to roll her eyes. "That would still be a date, genius," she scoffed, then chuckled.

"And, yeah, this is pretty alright," she nodded. As long as I don't focus on anything other than the water and the sun and being with friends. Just her friends.

F r i e n d s . . .

 

[Navar]

"The important thing is that it wasn't a no!" Shiron laid down on the ground, signing in relief. They were right, not having to fight anymore did have its advantages.

But it did have one, big disadvantage.

"...How long do we have? Because... If I'm being honest... I don't wanna go."

 

[IFBench]

Saltriv looked down, and their petals drooped. "I...don't think we have much time left."

 

[Fusion]

Vix pulled herself back together, dusting sand off of her body, then pumped her fists. "Then we better make the most of what little time we got! It's not like we got anything better to do, we already beat the big bad, so all that's left is enjoying ourselves."

For some, that would mean going on dates. For others, that would be sulking in a bar, so drunk that sh-- they, because this is an example and definitely no one specific, count as an alcoholic beverage instead of furniture. Could be anyone.

 

[Sudmensch]

Dill hung his head for a bit before putting his hand on Shiron’s back.

“Let’s make this worth it, then. We’ll try and visit you a lot if we can, mon. Heck, we’ll kidnap you from there if you want,” he said.

 

[Navar]

"Right. Just don't get yourself captured," Shiron said.

"And... I'm glad I met you guys."

 

[IFBench]

"Yep, let's make the most of our time!" Saltriv said, glancing back over at Shiron.

"I'm glad I met you all, too. This was...so wonderful."

 

[Sudmensch]

"It really was, Shiron, Vix... yeah. Thank you both for being cool," Dill said.

 

[Fusion]

"Well, I mean, I feel like I should be thanking you too. You're all pretty great, you know?" Vix chuckled.

"I'm... definitely gonna miss you guys, so don't be surprised if a random chandelier shows up in your worlds, because it'll probably be me," she said, grinning.
