Time to win this thing.

[godofpineapples]

Would you ever create another business outside Mineral Town if it gets successful?

*laughs into the sun*

Por favor, but did you not see the train wreck that was my stand in Forget Me Not Valley? Of COURSE I’d do another business away from here if it was successful- I already do have a bunch year round. That one… was the only failure. Because people are cheap, si?

[godofpineapples]

Are you better with children, animals, or neither?

Children. They've always liked me, si?

*he looks to the side to see Kai getting up the approaches the counter* Yep it is~ *places the basket on the counter* No prob man. Hm? Sure. Had been workin' out in the sun too long and Trent'll have my head if I keep overworking myself like the usual *takes a seat* Business still slow like the usual?

Would you like a pineapple cock- I mean, fresh pineapple juice? *shakes his head* Or shaved ice?

*smirks at the other man's red skin* It's hot today, isn't it? How do you and Claire Bear manage out there in the son. You look a little like a langosta, si? *chuckles*

Si, business is pretty slow, but what can you expect, hmm? That's just the way things are... if I make one meal sale a day, I'm pretty happy.

Making It Up to You [Popuri/Kai]

"Yeah that’s what everyone says," she sighed, rubbing at her eyes. "I already know that. It doesn’t change how often he does it. My mother worries less than him!” Takes a moment to think about that before shaking her head. “Or, well, not that she worries less. It’s just that she has more faith in me and my decisions than he does…”

When he went back to that certain detail, the pinkette tensed up. Her grip tightened around her empty cup and she was trying to think of what to say. Before she took too long, she replied— “Well, we’ve been together so long! You know… although they were just summers… You’re one of my dearest friends! Th-that’s it.. r-really…” —with a lie.

It wasn’t entirely a lie. Kai was dear to her and he knew that already. But the stuttering she did after saying that may have given her away. Popuri wasn’t good at faking things and Kai was one of the people who could tell when she lied.  

[godofpineapples]

"Hmm." Kai reached for the bottle, unconvinced. "I see. Popi, how long has it been now since I started coming here? And you've trusted me wholeheartedly from the start, si?" He decided to forgo the cup at all this time, instead taking a swig right from the bottle.

"Why?"

He'd been friends with her for years now- that was an undisputed fact. Still, as the years had rolled on, it had began to bug him, growing bigger and bigger with each passing summer.

Why did she like him so much, anyway? Sure he had friends in Karen, in Ann, even in shy Mary. But Popuri had taken to him right from the start... in fact, their friendship came so natural, it even startled him.

In that respect, he could almost see why Rick was so damn paranoid.

But hey. He came out here to have a good time, not be attacked for what he couldn't help.

Stupid gringo...

[godofpineapples]

Is there a favorite drink you like to have in the summer and during festivals?

Si.

[godofpineapples]

*walks in the shack with a basket of pineapples* Hola Kai! I got the pineapples you wanted.

*sits up with a start, trying to hide the fact that he'd been napping off a hangover*

Hola, Pete- dios mio, is it already that time of the season? *grins, walking around the counter* Muchos gracias, these looks wonderful. Would you like to sit down?

[godofpineapples]

[Blinks as the proprietor of the stand makes a hasty entrance.] Ah, hello! I was just wondering if you were open. [Scratches the side of his nose as he gives the other man an apologetic smile.] Is your full menu available right now? I was eyeing the baked corn - tell me I'm not jumping the gun, hm?

[laughs, scratching his head]

Ah, si- I'm open, I just didn't change the sign, that's all. Everything is available- baked corn, you said? [smiles] Si, I can make that right away- it's the best around, you know? Come in, come in, I'll get started right away- you aren't from around here are you?

[chattering on nervously as he gets started preparing the corn, laying out the ingredients and getting out the bowls and utensils needed]

Are you a chef too?

[godofpineapples]

Rick: I like everyone in the village except Kai. He comes for the summer, upsets everyone and then leaves.

Kai:

Kai:

Kai:

Kai:I came out to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now

- title will be added later -

The orange haired girl let out a deep sigh as she tried her best to carry the heavy box with both of her hands. Duh, she never really know that the box would be really this heavy!

Her father tried to warn her once, telling her that she should get someone to help her. But with her stubborn act, she told him that she could carry it all by herself. Someone totally had to remind her to listen to her father’s words next time, yeah, that’s it.

Now she had to bring this to someone’s place and she totally had no idea where was it. She tried to reach her pocket to get the paper that her father gave her that morning and held the box with one hand.

              Boom!

Someone bumped her, it wasn’t that hard—- But the situation that she carried the heavy box with her, of course she didn’t get any balance to stand up. Her butt landed perfectly on the ground, it was more hurt that she ever imagined.

        “Ugh….”

[godofpineapples]

Kai was on his way to the Inn. Sure, he had his rooms at the Seaside Lodge to sleep in but that didn't mean he wasn't a little bit homesick for the familiar faces and tastes of the Inn.

He'd die, of course, before he admitted that, however. Doug and Ann were his cooking rivals- he'd always made it a habit to comment that he was only eating their food out of necessity, of course, jokingly. His mother had always said not to bite the hand that feeds him. And even though he could now feed himself...

Well, it was true what they said. Old habits died hard.

"Oof!" He winced as he walked right into someone with a large box in their hands. "Dios mio, I'm so sorry- Ann?" He frowned down at the red-haired girl. "Are you okay?"

Making It Up to You [Popuri/Kai]

[pink-chickadee]

"Thank you…" She murmured, taking the glass and sipping the sweet, pink drink. It had been a while since she last had strawberry milk so it made her feel just a bit better to be honest. Being here with Kai made her feel just a little better too.

Sighing, she frowned and began. “We were fighting. Well, not fighting a lot… Just he was being so stubborn as usual! One second he’s saying not to worry about him getting punched but then the next he’s complaining about it. I was trying to tell him not to be upset… but then he got upset saying that it’s always you who’s the hero or something.”

She stopped to take another long sip of milk. Licking her lips, she continued with a frown. “Then he said that me trusting a guy like you more than him made me like a naive teenager. I ran off up the stairs and then I said even though I know I could get hurt, I trust you regardless because—-” Popuri made sure to cut her story there, not wanting to say anymore. “—-Then I ran into my room, packed up my things, climbed down the drain pipe, and came here.”

"That’s it…" She sighed, finished her glass of milk. It took a lot for her to glance up at Kai because there were already a few tears rolling down her cheeks. "I’m sorry." She said, not knowing what else to say. For the girl really was sorry for everything that had happened. If only she wasn’t selfish enough to have that nap with him none of this would have happened. Popuri was starting to hate herself for it.

[godofpineapples]

"Uh huh," Kai muttered distractedly, sipping at his alcoholic beverage. Maria give him the courage but he just didn't want to deal with this right now. He liked Popi, but this sibling drama was just out of his area of expertise, particularly because he hated Rick.

Particularly because, for some reason, he felt Rick was right this time.

"Well, Popi," He sighed once she'd finished. "He's just being a good hermano, si? He has to worry about you, you're his little sister." He drained his cup, plopping it down on the counter as a familiar warmth spread through his veins. "That being said, he is a chilito, and I hate his gringo ass but..." He frowned.

"Wait a second. Go back, por favor." He narrowed his eyes, suspicion aroused. "You trust me regardless because... why?"

[pink-chickadee]

Making It Up to You [Popuri/Kai]

[godofpineapples]

"You shouldn’t do that," Kai groaned, letting her inside. "Rick’s gonna be all over me like white on rice when he finds out… wait." He paused. "Did you say ‘leaving?’ And what’s that bag for?"

Dios Mio, he was not in the mood for any more drama. He stared at her with a stern expression. “Popuri, what’s going on here?”

[pink-chickadee]

"Yes," she sighed. "I’m leaving." Placing her bag on one of tables, she spun around again to face him and saw how serious he looked. "Oh Kai…"

Walking over to him, she gently touched his cheek before bringing her hands to her chest and clasping them together. Looking down, not wanting to see the look on his face, she answered. “I’m running away. To some other town. I’m sick of him!”

[godofpineapples]

"Woah, woah woah." He exhaled heavily. "Popuri, no. You aren't leaving."

How had it come to this? Man, but he really needed a stiff drink now. He walked around her to the counter, pulling out some bottles and cups, as well as a pitcher of milk from the fridge.

"Sit down. We're going to talk about this before you do anything rash, si?" He sighed. "You want some strawberry milk while I'm up here?"

He didn't really wait for a response, getting to work anyway. As soon as he'd finished, he slid it over to her, taking a sip of his night cap while he was at it.

"Why exactly are you running away, Popi?" He asked gently. "Tell me."

[godofpineapples]

[Hovering near the snack shack patiently, waiting to see if the small establishment is open while browsing what menu he can see from where he is.]

[yawns, looking up from his cup of coffee]

Dios Mio, you’d think the warm weather would bring in customers- huh?

[notices the other man standing outside]

Ay caramba, I forgot to switch the sign!

[rushes out front, opening the door]

Welcome to the Snack Shack! What can I do you for?
