K.C.'s perspective:
K.C. is handed a small bag of breads and other treats from a person.
How do I say thank you-
K.C. feels a hand on his arm.
"K.C. lets go. I want to go back to the boat."
Earth speaks softly, tears still running down her eyes, though trying desperately to wipe them away.
"Woah- what happened-?"
K.C. turns to Earth, and crouches down to her height.
"N-nothing- I- I don't wanna talk about it... Can we just go?"
"Yeah- Lets go-"
Earth starts leading the way out, K.C. waving goodbye to the person, who seems confused, and walks behind Earth.
The two get onto the boat, everyone else had already gotten on earlier that day.
"I can steer the boat if you'd like Earth- you seem like you need a break-"
"... Thank you... Though I'd rather just stay up here..."
"Ok- Well- um- do you want to talk about it-?"
"... Maybe... You would probably understand the most out of everyone- or maybe Solar- though I don't know him too well-"
K.C. peeks at the lower deck, making sure everyone is really on board, and then brings up the anchor, then goes over to the wheel, steering the boat away.
"What do you mean?"
"... Parental stuff-?"
"Oh yeah- That stuff- are you sure there isn't anyone more equipped-?"
"... Well everyone else I either don't talk to- or just don't know in general- Monty, Ruin, and Gemini don't talk about their past really- and Lunar, Sun and Moon grew up with both parents..."
Earth takes off her head accessories, undoing a bit of her styled hair.
"Well- I grew up with none- so I don't know how much I can help-"
"... I think you can help- I just have a question..."
"Well spit it out then-?"
Am I being insensitive-?
"... Do you think my parents would be proud if they saw me now-?"
...
"Uh- Yeah- Your a bad ass pirate- and for what you've told me- you made a whole village from the ground up with your own hands-"
"... Yeah... Thank you... That helped oddly..."
Earth sniffles a bit, sitting down.
"... Yeah- no problem-"
"... Do you remember anything about your parents K.C.-?"
"... No..."
"... Oh..."
"I know what they look like- well- about 25 years ago but still-"
"Why don't you look for them then-?"
"... I want to apologize... I was a dumb kid and got lost... I can't imagine what they had gone through..."
They'll remember me...
Right-?
... I was only four years old but- no. Stop. Don't think like that, even if they don't remember I still need to find them.
...
They're my parents afterall.
"... I feel like I made this all depressing for no reason-"
"It's fine- Though, on a lighter note, how come all the food there was delicious-?!"
"What- you were complaining about it being too spicy for you."
"Well yeah- but it still tasted good! Seriously what's in all that stuff?"
"Uhh... Well it depends- how much did you eat-?"
"... A lot."
K.C. shows Earth the bag which the person gave him, which has a variety of different treats.
"These are all bread or desserts."
"..."
"I'm gald you liked it but- did you not try anything else?"
"... I was just eating what they gave me ok-?"
Earth chuckles.
"Well, I'm gonna go change out of those clothes before they get too dirty-"
Earth stands up, and goes down to lower deck.
My parents will remember me...
... I wonder how old they are now- what if... They.... Died- and I never get to meet them...
I was such a stupid kid.
Why would I just leave one day.
Cause that's what happened.
I ran away.
I think...
You'know what- not worth taking the time to think about that- I think I saw a circus a couple days ago- I wonder if it's still up-
Well, we're already on the way towards it-
Solar's perspective:
Solar sits in Ruin's grasp, the two cuddling in Solar's room.
"Solar."
"Yeah Ruin-?"
"I love you..."
Solar feels as his heart skips a beat, Ruin placing a kiss on his shoulder.
"I love you to Ruin- um- heh- um- are you trying to continue our- sexual time from a couple days ago-?"
"I'f you'd like to sure- though I am just enjoying... This right now... You look so... Cute..."
Ruin speaks softly, the two, had been running around eailer and Ruin was tired.
"I- I think you'd fall asleep before we would be able to finish-"
Solar chuckles, still having lots of energy.
Ruin yawns, pulling Solar more into their cuddle embrace.
Awh- that was so adorable- wait-
"Ruin are you still awake-?"
Ruin gives out soft breathes, their body now pushing down on Solar, Ruin had fallen asleep.
Eh not the worst way to be stuck in place-
Lunar's perspective:
Lunar, Sun, Moon and Gemini sit at the table.
Theres a couple small objects on the table, Mostly collected while they were off and walking around earlier, it's a mix of rocks, sticks, and a small toy turtle.
"How'd you get a turtle-?! Not fair."
Lunar acrosses his arms, Sun chuckling.
"You can't even see!"
Lunar points at Sun dramatically.
"I'm just better!"
Sun smiles widely, Lunar sitting back down in his chair annoyed.
Gemini plays with a sea shell in their hands.
"Um... Lunar- you can have this-"
Gemini semi awkwardly hands the shell over to Lunar, who lights up, the shell being a spiral upwards in a dark black color.
"Woah-! Thank you so much Gemini!"
Lunar starts complimenting the hell out of the shell, and Gemini, Gemini quickly growing more red in blush.
"Well aren't you two just so cute."
A somewhat annoyed Moon plays around with two sticks.
"W-What-"
Gemini freezes up a bit.
"Wha- MOON WE'RE NOT DATING-!"
Lunar hops off his chair and starts hitting Moon, who quickly gets up and the two start running and around the table, rocking it a fair bit, Sun clasping onto the table in fear of falling, Gemini doing the same.
"YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE TRUTH LUNAR-!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH!"
"OH COME ON- YOU TWO OBVIOUSLY LIKE EACHOTHER! TELL THEM GEMINI-"
Gemini is overtaken by a wave of flustered-ness.
"Well- I um- um- hah- yeah kind of- um- well- I-"
... Wait did they just say yes-?!
Lunar suddenly stops running after Moon, and looks over to Gemini.
Moon also stops running, tripping over himself and falling face first, causing Sun to flitch and fall out of his chair.
"OW-"
"AHHHH-"
Lunar just looks over at Gemini, who looks back and forth towards and away from Lunar, eventually just holding their head and running to upper deck a flustered mess.
W-What was that about- does Gemini actually like me-?
Well- um- I like them- why didn't they say anything sooner- well I guess I never said anything but-
AHHH THIS IS SO COMPLICATED!!
WHY CAN'T LOVE- is it love-?
No yeah definitely love-
WHY CAN'T LOVE JUST BE SIMPLE!
.... They probably just miss spoke-
... Or maybe they didn't- should I go up there-?
What if they don't wanna talk to me- I can just wait in the room- Monty's in there-
Monty might be able to help-
Lunar runs into his, Gemini's, Monty's and Earth's room, though having gained a brightly blushed face.
