LOOKING IN THE MIRROR, she looked upon her reflection. The soft ivory top clung gently to her form, its long sleeves draping off the shoulder in a delicate display of skin. A subtle lace-up detail at the bust added a touch of romantic allure, while the ribbed texture provided a cozy yet chic aesthetic. Paired with this was a high-waisted denim skirt in a classic past pink wash, its hem playfully frilled, dancing just above the knees. The skirt's A-line cut flattered with simplicity and grace.

Looking at the clock, it was past 7 am and it was a cue for her to move. Looking around her room, she shut the lights and grabbed her duffle bag, hurriedly closed the door behind her as she walked out.

Running towards Sakura who awaits her at the door where her twin also waiting, she gives her mother an embrace that the woman couldn't bear to refuse. Sakura sighed in contentment before pulling away "Be careful alright? You already got your sunscreen and hat, right?" Seiren shrieked in panic when she felt a hat was nowhere in her head, yet Sarada's voice was able to calm her beating heart.

"It's right here!" she waved the cartwheel hat that had a large lace bow in the air. The ends of the bow cascaded down the side of the hat. The lace was a soft, creamy white that Sakura bought for Seiren and she decided to make it as an accessory to her hat.

Sarada laughed as she gently brushed the strands of Seiren's hair, parting it sideways before placing the hat on her head. The bow gently brushed against the bare shoulders of Seiren. Sakura looked at them with fondness before her eyes settled back at Sarada "All alright. You guys better get going. I already gave you guys enough allowance to buy souvenirs or food, be sure to spend it well." she kissed their forehead and Sarada gently tugged Seiren away "Come on!" she giggled.

"we'll be off!"

"Be careful!"

"HUWAH! You're so pretty!" Namida's eyes sparkled to see Seiren's attire, her duffle bag was nowhere on her shoulder and it was now in the palms of Shikadai who volunteered to carry it. Seiren shyly thanked her before Sarada approached her and she was carrying her water bottle "Here."

The girl smiled and took it, giving her sister her thanks before taking a big gulp, drinking half of the water before letting out a satisfactory sound. The thirst was nowhere in her throat and hurried footsteps made her laid her eyes towards Boruto who just came last. Sarada fumed in anger "You're the only one we're waiting, dumbass!"

"Sorry, sorry!" he apologizes before looking at Seiren who watched him with a smile. He then approached her "Are you excited?" the girl hummed in delight, clutching the water bottle "Hm! I've heard stories about the Hidden Mist! How their scenery on the beach is definitely exquisite!" she leaned further towards him and the boy laughed.

"Alright! Now that's everyone here! Let us proceed to the terminal!"

She watched in awe as they went further and further away towards Konohagakure and now they were getting near the province and nearer to the port. She fiddled with her fingers as she looked away from the window, she sat next to Inojin who was busy playing cards with Boruto and Shikadai.
