Separate Journeys, 7

While Pin, Coiny, and even Tb were getting themselves some water and trying to figure out how to bring some with them, Gb sat in the grass looking at all of the supplies she had. Yoyal berries and one compass. When yoyal berries are submerged into water and smashed it will become a full liquid. Keep it inside a sealed container for at least a full day, it’ll become like clay that you can mold into whatever. Wait some more days after you finished molding it into, let’s say a knife, and it will become rock hard. All you need to do left is to sand it down and boom, you have a full working knife. Yoyal berries are the second most powerful mold in the world and it is sad how most people don’t know that it is but it makes sense, yoyal berries grow in places that are hard to reach. They were just lucky. Even though they didn’t need any weapons right now, she realized how dangerous it was to be unprepared. I mean, she knew it was dangerous to be unprepared but that was more than unexpected! Who knows what they would face next, even she can’t expect these events!

She looked around for any type of container, if she couldn't find one she’d have to make one with the resources around her and by the looks of it she has to. No directions, no rules, just her imagination. “Hey Tb?” Pin called and he looked at her, “If there's water shouldn’t there be fish?” He looked down and realized there wasn’t any fish proving Pin’s abbreviation, he should’ve known that, no wonder Gb doesn’t love- find him as a, smart, science partner. That sentence didn’t make sense. Tb looked to his right to see where the stream could possibly lead but it only led back into the forest. There is no way in the living hell he was going back in there that’s for sure. “Unless fish come to us, we’re not going to relive that.” Coiny’s stomach grumbled, “Hey Golf Ball, do you have any of those yoyal berries?” He looked back and his mouth dropped when he saw her mashing them, “I’m gonna starve!” Coiny dramatically moaned and fell down on his back. “Don’t be so dramatic you copper coin, us objects can last days without food!” Gb educates him, “Once we get to ii North, we all will be fine.” She looks down at the smashed yoyal berries before wrapping them in layered broad leaves. “Now if you three are finished fulfilling your thirst, we need to keep going.” The girl hops onto Tb for the second time and for some reason Coiny does the same. She only glanced at him but didn’t say anything, he’s injured after all. Besides he’s a coin, he can fit. “Pin, are you coming?” Tb called, “Yeah! Give me a second!” She took her flask and filled it with water. Before her Bakery was destroyed and when people were running around the village like nuts, she had a secret stash for when the time comes to evacuate the village when danger irrupts. But she heard a huge bang from a boulder landing nearby and it scared her so she didn’t have a chance to completely react, taking the first thing her hand touched before running out. That thing ended up being a flask.

Pin got up and catched up with her friends and their journey began. “Alright, this should take us hours because we’re going on foot, which also means we are going to have to take constant breaks for food, drinks, and what Coiny likes to call them, potty breaks.” Coiny scoffs, “No need to call me out like that.” and Gb replies, “You’ll live.” He crosses his arms as Gb thought about how childish he was for his age, might as well put him in an orphanage when we get to ii North.

For some reason, the conversation they had about the psycho came back to her. While Gb was trying to persuade them to jump down, she said something along the lines of “would you rather get stabbed” but then she claims she had not known about someone chasing them with a big ass knife. Feels like Gb is hiding something yet she has only the truth escape her. Unless that is her skill, to say something that sounds like it has truthfulness in it but it’s only so you can get caught up in the lie. Or maybe the poor girl was just overthinking the situation and her mind is just teasing her by creating non existing drama. This whole ordeal is getting to her, she misses her other friends, she misses the peace, she misses her bakery she admits, everything is gone, gone because of what! She didn’t know why this was happening! Or maybe.. When Leafy came everything went downhill from near death experiences to, well, this. She appeared and caused hell. No, it’s just a coincidence, you can’t blame something so big on someone all because they so happened to be there when it happens, you just can’t. It’s wrong in many ways. "Hey Pin, are you alright? You seem uneasy." She flinched when she heard her name and she looked over at Tb, he was staring at her with his eyes full of worry. "I'm alright Tennis Ball. I'm just thinking about things." He looked up at Gb and Coiny then back at her, "You can tell me anything, don't you agree, Golf Ball?" Gb scoffed after getting the message and hopped off him giving them some space, Coiny was fast asleep so he wasn't a worry.
