It's memories. Dala: My smile looked so stupid, I know it did! Rinji: Nooooo, it looked fine, hon. Where are they at? Dala: Over there [Looked off to the side and waved.] Hey! Come on! It's picture time! Dala: Ohhh Kenji, your hair isn't straight. [She got down and started to lick his head a little bit to straighten his hair.] Kenji: Mooom! Stop it! Dala: Hold still. Kiki: Mommy! [Walked up toward Dala, in a little skirt with pink and white ruffles.] Kentaro told me my bow looked ugly! Dala: Kentaro! Come tell Kiki you're sorry! Rinji: Mewhahahaha! [All three of the kids look at the camera.] What a cute little litter. Kiki: Daaaaddy! Stop it! Don't laugh! It sounds weird! Rinji: My laughter is lyrical, dear, you'll understand when you're older. Kathy: [Walks up to Kiki, looking exactly like her with black and orange tiger stripes, only in a blue and white dress and long blond hair.] Can you help me get my bow in my hair again? Dala: Kentaro! Come on! It's picture time. Rinji: Wait... where's Samuel? Dala: Sam? Samuel: [Came out from behind Dala, his sunglasses covering his eyes, and his completely black fur covering him with a white button-up shirt and straight black pants.] Hey Dad! Rinji: Ah, there's my little trooper. Dala: Alright, everyone stand together, and look at Daddy! Rinji: ..........what the hell does that mean? Chio: It's almost ti-- Usagi: Shhhhh, don't think about it right now. Chio: But you kn--- Usagi: There, [she smiled down at him, though he couldn't see her as it was pitch black in that room, and breasts in his face didn't help a whole lot either.] Kajikajikajikaji... [Sighed and released him, going back to their original position.] You're right... we should probably go ahead and start getting ready. Chio: Usagi... Usagi: Yes? Chio: I don't know what's going to meet us in that tower, nor do I sincerely care that much... What I'm trying to say--- Usagi: [Whispered in his ear.] I love you. Chio: Yeah, [He smiled.] that. Dala: What are you saying? [Sat across from Rinji in the overcrowded tavern, a beer and three mugs in front of him.] Rinji: It's not easy for me to say this, but I have a goal that I need to concentrate on right now, and you are a wonderful merwerw, but you caught me at a very bad time in my life. Whatever we could become cannot happen right now, I need to keep going and the risks involved are too big. Dala: [Hand on her mouth, her eyes huge and staring at him.] B-b-but Rinji... you... we... I can't find... Why? Rinji: I have to find my family... my father and my two sisters. I made a solid promise that I would find them, and we would find our way back to Nekoshima. Dala: But you can't go back! You know they won't let you back in, even if you found the entrance, there's a million rocks along the way, you-- Rinji: Dala, you are the best thing that's happened to me since I found this crew, since the first day I truly learned the joys of sailing the thousand seas of this world, but what we can become is just too big a responsibility to have right now. As much as I want it... [He slid his hand over hers, and to his surprise, she grasped onto his hand and gripped it tight.] Dala: I'm sorry, I can't. I need to think about this. [She ran away, tears still flowing from her eyes.] Rinji: Get me something harder! [He picked his drink up and slammed it down on the ground, and all eyes turned toward him in fear.] Announcer: Alright, it's finally time to send our winners off toward their prize! Who's ready?! The crowd went wild, and the two crews did not comply. All of them were fixated on this event for one reason or another. Rinji, for obvious reasons, stood with an intense look on his face. Chio: Rinji? Rinji: Yeah. Chio: Why did you bandage your hand up? Is that blood? Rinji: Yes... [He looked up toward Chio, who was taken a little aback by the death stare he was giving.] It is. Chio: Okay. [Usagi and Chio looked at one another, a little worried.] Alice: Lee? What is all of that you have packed in that very... large back pack. Lee: Just staying prepared, you know how it is. [He looked like he was going to topple over with how heavy the back pack was. The black pack was easily bigger than he was, but he still held it up with little to no effort. Announcer: Alright, ladies and gents! It's time to say goodbye! Good luck, and hope for the best!
