Running as fast as he could, Yoshi skidded to a stop in front of the two dripping females. "My god, Hana, are you alright?" He grabbed her to him in a crushing hug, holding her tightly against him. Looking up at Blackrose, his eyes held admiration. "I guess you're the hero today. Thank you for saving my niece. I, and my whole family, are forever in your debt. If you ever need the protection of skilled fighters, you may call on us."

To Yoshi's surprise, Hana started laughing. "Whoa, that was so cool! You saved me!" She smiled at Blackrose. "You're a hero too!" Turning back to Yoshi, she added, "And you're squishing me! I'm fine, really. But when we go swimming, can it be in a more shallow waterfall?"

Blackrose was happy about all the admiration she was getting. "No thanks is necessary if I ever see anyone in trouble I have to save them." She was glad that Hana was ok she never wanted anyone to get hurt which was why she helped her friend Kite save all those people who went into comas over in Japan. "Well if I'm in any danger at all I'll be more than happy to call your family." Even though she had fighting skills in her game she couldn't really fight in the real world.

Suddenly, Hana looked over towards the water. "Oh, no! I lost the egg. Uncle Yoshi, can you find it for me? Please?" She looked up with pleading eyes.

Yoshi simply laughed. "Hana, the egg is bobbing in the water, right here." He knelt down and scooped the egg up from the water. Placing it in the basket, he turned to her. "There, are you satisfied?" Once Hana had nodded happily, he smiled. "Good. Now, Blackrose, would you like to help me find a waterfall that's relatively shallow? I know that Hana would like to swim, but I don't want a repeat of what just happened."

Blackrose was still soaking wet and cold so she decided to grab a towel that she had packed with her just in case she went swimming. She was a bit upset that they lost there egg but a persons life was way more important. "Of course I think there might be one right over there." She pointed in the direction of a beautiful waterfall. It was a good thing she double checked to see if she packed her bathing suit.

She looked in her bag and saw a bikini she wasn't expecting to run into anyone so she didn't worry about packing a one piece swimsuit. She was definitely going to be embarrassed when she changed into it. She was at least happy that they had found there egg.

[Kitsumi]

"Alright. Well, would you ladies like to go swimming?" Yoshi looked towards both of the girls. He already knew what Hana's answer was. He wasn't sure if Blackrose would still want to swim though, after having to save Hana. However, she seemed like she still wanted to.

"Yeah, let's go! Can we please go swimming now?" Hana took off her shirt, revealing a one-piece swimsuit underneath. Kicking off her shoes and shorts, she began walking towards the waterfall that Blackrose had pointed out. Yoshi followed, pulling off his shirt to reveal a toned body underneath. He followed Hana's example and kicked off his shoes and pulled off his pants, showing that he had swimtrunks on underneath. "Blackrose, did you bring a swimsuit?"

"I do," Blackrose said excitedly even though she was going to feel embarrassed she at least wanted to have fun more. She laughed at how excited Hana was not even waiting for her uncle to help her in. "Yeah just let go put it on its in my bag." She went into the forest and started to put on her bikini. She turned bright red when she came out of the forest dawning her white bikini.

[Kitsumi]

Hana began splashing around excitedly in the pool near the waterfall. She looked up at her uncle, smiling happily. "Come on in, Uncle Yoshi! The water feels totally perfect, it's not cold at all!"

"It isn't?" Yoshi grinned. "Well, in that case..." He took a running start, and then cannonballed into the water. As soon as he came up, his teeth ere chattering and he was shivering. "Hana, you little devil! You lied to me! The water really is cold!"

He looked up, and noticed Blackrose coming towards them in a white bikini. He tried not to stare...but it was pretty hard.

When Blackrose went towards the water she looked up and saw Yoshi staring at her. "You know that your drooling right." She laughed and smiled at Hana and started to get in. When she was fully in the water she realized it was really cold. "Oh my god its so freaking cold."

She still made sure not to swear in front of Hana.

[Kitsumi]

Laughing, Yoshi nodded. "Yeah, I found that out too. And I wasn't drooling!" He turned away to hide his blush, and to regain his composure. When he looked back, he reached out for Blackrose. "But hey, if you're complaining about the cold, I could keep you warm." He nudged her with his elbow to show that he was kidding.

Hana looked over at the two adults. "You guys are silly," she said. "And Blackrose, I noticed that you almost said a bad word!" She giggled.

[Code Chaos]

"I thought it was supposed to be warm." She started to shiver and did the unthinkable so she wouldn't be cold anymore. She dunked herself so that she got instantly used to the water. "That's better," she said with a smile on her face. "Yeah I tried to hide it I don't like swearing in front of kids," she said to Hana with a smile on her face.

[Kitsumi]

"The other one was warmer," Hana said. "And it's good that you try not to say stuff like that in front of young kids like me. Lotsa people don't care. Like my dad...he swears in front of me all the time. I don't like it." She looked down, but then began splashing around again. Hana was the type of girl who couldn't stay sad, mad, or any other negative emotion for long.

Yoshi became slightly concerned hen he saw Hana become sad, but she quickly perked up. Swimming over to Blackrose, he grinned at her. "So, do you have any brothers or sisters?" He figured it was a good enough start for a conversation.

[Code Chaos]

"Well its ok I'm fine now that I got used to it." She smiled at Hana and kind of felt bad that most people didn't care about swearing in front of her. Well all except her and Yoshi it seems he really is a good uncle. "Actually I don't the closest thing I have to a brother is my best friend Kite who was supposed to show up today but never did." She was a bit mad that he never showed up but she couldn't stay mad at him for a long time after all they did save all those kids together.

[Kitsumi]

Not too far from Yoshi and Blackrose, Hana began singing her song about spring again. Her voice wasn't professional or breathtaking, but it was pretty good for someone her age. She didn't hit a single note off key, and her voice had a sweet innocent tone to it that made it better than it normally would have been.

Yoshi smiled over at Hana as she began singing. When he turned back to Blackrose, he nodded. "I see. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm kinda glad he didn't show up. Not because I wanted you to be left alone or anything! But it was nice to meet you, and hang out with you. I doubt we would have spent this much time together if your friend had been with you."
