5th Magic Bullet

[It's Mother's Day, so Yuna can be found in a couple of places around town throughout the day today.]

1. [Yuna's out shopping for flowers.  She doesn't have a whole lot of money, but she's managed to save her allowances from Garviel for a few weeks and should at least have enough for a red rose and some carnations to spruce fill out the bouquet a little bit.  Feel free to bump into her while she's looking around at the selection, or perhaps you're the one selling the flowers to her.]

Hmm... I wonder how many I should get.  I wonder how many I can afford...

2. [Heading home, flowers in hand.  They're currently just wrapped up in some tissue paper, and she's cradling them very closely as she carries them along.  Every so often, she stops, sighs, and smiles wistfully up into the sky before continuing along on her way.]

Mother's Day already, huh...

3. [Once she's back home, Yuna immediately sets about finding an appropriate vase to put the flowers in.  She fills it up with some water, carefully lifting the flowers out of their wrapping and spending a few minutes arranging them tastefully - red rose in the middle, carnations surrounding it on the sides.  And then she takes the whole arrangement into the living room, setting it by the window where everyone can see it.  Anyone paying particular attention to her while she's doing this may catch her whispering at the very end while she looks up one last time into the sunny spring skies of Mayfield.]

...Happy Mother's Day, mom.

[Then she closes her eyes for just a moment to bow her head and smile before going about her business for the day.]

[ Souji can't help but overhear her comments, standing next to her as he is mentally selecting a bouquet himself. ]

Giving flowers to someone special?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Ah... something like that!

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Have you selected on an arrangement?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I was thinking roses and carnations.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty arrangement. Are you bringing them in a vase?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I was just going to find something at home to put them in...

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Very practical. I hope it works out for the best for you.

[ Souji is noticing his mood is in better spirits while talking with this girl. In fact he's been in great spirits today, even if he's feeling a bit exhausted. ]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's really just 'cause I don't have a lot of money.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I could lend you some money.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Really? But we just met and I don't even know your name! Are you sure it's okay?

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I'm Souji, and it's alright, really.

[ Mom's Day brainwashing go ]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess if it's okay with you...

[Looking a little unsure, but smiling anyway.]

Oh, and I'm Yuna.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I insist.

[ He wouldn't have it any other way, really. He loves his mommy, and he loves anyone else who loves their mommy, or is a girl. ]

Did you want to get more than carnations and roses?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I think this should be enough.

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ Souji pays for the flowers Yuna picks and for his own selection as well. He's a little surprised when he barely has any money left, but hey it's for a great cause! ]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot, Souji! I'll definitely make it up to you sometime, okay?
