Things in the Media

[wildmelody]

So um... I was looking through the news and A actor who I liked a lot passed away. The weird thing is, I always liked him because he sounded a lot like my papa.

So I gave my father a hug today, and I'd like everyone to give your family hugs to. Just because, well, it feels like it needs to be done. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching old home movies and anime today.

Apparently Tsubomi's mom and dad met in a field full of flowers, and it was love at first sight. At least according to what I know.

[selene]

Eeeeh?! Are you saying everyone's parents get a cute story like that?! Mama and Papa said it was nothing special when I asked them before! That's so unfair..!

[wildmelody]

Most parents downplay their first meeting from what I heard, but it's rather adorable. Maybe when you find someone it'll be great.

[selene]

[ ...

Ah.

Awkward.

She scratches the back of her head a little, pausing before she answers. ]

Um, I already have someone like that, although I don't know if our first meeting was "adorable"..

[wildmelody]

[Hibiki blinks, parses back a few steps mentally and then ventures,] Was it someone that um, might be important and/or vital to your uh, magical girl thing?

[selene]

Sort of.. He always helped me out when I was in a tight spot, but we met before that already on the streets normally, we just never knew about each other's secret identities.

[wildmelody]

Sounds like pretty standard magical girl stories to me. But did you actually get along with him? That's the key.

[selene]

H.. hey, what's so standard about it?! [ She gives a tiny huff, but then moves on. ]

.. And.. um.. well, when we first met, I threw a test paper I got back with a low score on his head and he made fun of me for it.

[ Great friendly first meeting, right. ]

[wildmelody]

Don't Magical Girls usually find their destined someone through accident? [Not really but Hibiki can be forgiven to think like that.]

Wow... you bonked him on the head with a test... sounds like something I'd do!

[selene]

[ .. Wait, what? She thought Hibiki would laugh at her for it or something, but.. ]

Y.. you would?!

[wildmelody]

To be all fair, my relationship with Kanade was never that great even as kids, and we got off to a rough start. But it was smoothing out after a while! So keep at it.

[selene]

Well.. w-we're fine now, I think! I mean, we got a little closer over time, even if we bickered every now and then.. it's just that our start sounds a little weird now, huh? I'm sort of embarassed, mentioning it..

[wildmelody]

Ah don't be so embarrassed, Usagi! It's actually really kinda cute to be fair.

[selene]

Really, Hibiki-chan? You don't think it's embarassing? I wouldn't even know what to tell my kids in the future!

[wildmelody]

Tell them it was a fated encounter! That'll help out, wouldn't it?

[selene]

Ooh.. that actually sounds pretty good as long as I don't have to tell any details! It's believable, but vague! You're so smart, Hibiki-chan!

[wildmelody]

Really? Great! If you could convince my teachers of that, it would be awesome as well. [She's only half joking though.]

[selene]

.. Maybe someone should tell that to both our teachers..

[ She knows this feeling, Hibiki. She really does. ]

[wildmelody]

Yeah no doubt. Maybe so. It would be easier for us. But at least I have some good grades.

[selene]

Oh, I have some good grades too! Like I'm really good at.. um...

[ ....... ]

Well, I guess home ec.. sometimes..

[wildmelody]

I'm pretty bad at home ec, that's Kanade's territory. Though I'm really good at sports since I'm in the soccer team.

[selene]

I'm way too clumsy to play sports! During P.E. I just fall on my face most of the time.. at least it means I know the school nurse pretty well because of it.

[wildmelody]

Oh dear. Well maybe stick with your strengths then. It wouldn't do good to fail at too much.

[selene]

Hehe, I'll just have to try to do my best, I guess.

[wildmelody]

That's the best you can do in any situation!
