Belle’s arm hangs at her side in it’s cast. Heidi has convinced her at least to leave the sling in the hotel room, arguing that Belle’s arm seemed fine the last time she had tried to smack Heidi. She wiggles her fingers a little.
In the small Tyoko marketplace a strange cadre of merchants from around the Tangled Green gather to hawk their wares from wooden carts. As Tyoko is a bit of a glorified rest stop, most of the merchants are getting rid of excess inventory. Nestled between the katana stalls and food stands are tiny boutiques with styles from all throughout the Omniverse. Surrounded by exotic goods at discount prices, shopping with her best friend Belle for a new outfit, Heidi is clearly in her element.
It takes a little while for Belle to explain currency, but once Heidi understands she is off and running, bouncing from stall to stall with Belle in reluctant towe. The blonde Prime eagerly flips through every article of clothing at breakneck pace, occasionally grabbing something from a bit and holding it up to Belle, squinting, before placing it back. On several occasions Heidi is so excited upon finding a piece of clothing that she lets out a shrill squee, causing everyone in the immediate vicinity to wince.
It takes the girls over an hour of shopping from stall to stall, with Heidi buying items of clothing seemingly at random, before the blonde is satisfied. Belle stares dubiously at the pile of clothes, instantly noting the fishnet and frills. When she tries on the outfit picked for her however, it is comfortably modest and extremely fashionable.
Belle wears thin, stretchy black leggings beneath black bamboo sandals. A low cut pink blouse peeks beneath a tight black gui, tied with a auburn sash around her tiny waist. The fishnet is tastefull, covering Belle’s slender arms up to her shoulder, including her cast. Her bright red hair has been tied back in a ponytail with a silk pink ribbon, with only Belle’s bangs drifting lazily in front of her face.
Heidi grins smugly as Belle observes herself in a full length mirror. The gorgeous redhead looks apprehensive, but impressed.
“It’s…” Belle says. Heidi holds her breath. “Perfect,” Belle admits.
Heidi squees, and Belle feel herself grin just slightly.

As they are preparing to leave, Heidi finds a problematic stuffed pink bunny.
It is problematic in that the bunny is nearly as large as Heidi, and the girls are supposed to be packing water and food.
“Pwease?” Heidi whines shrilly, causing several passersby to wince.
Belle simply glares, her arms crossed over her chest, as the blonde hugs the stuffed animal to her ample chest and gives belle her best puppy-dog eyes. The blonde’s pigtails bounce in time with bunny’s ears, and Belle wonders exactly how much anime bunny-girl is in Heidi’s genetics.
“No,” Belle repeats calmly. “It’s frickin huge, and we need the space to carry food and water,” she says, gesturing to her own large, heavy backpack.
Heidi’s eyes go from big saucers to narrow slits. She hugs the bunny more fiercely.
Belle’s lips purse. “Heidi…” she says in a warning voice. “Put it back.”
Heidi glares, slams the bear back into the cart full of stuffed animals, and pouts for the next hour.
Belle sighs as she hefts her backpack full of heavy water canteens.
She begins to count the steps to Mokugakure.
***
“Frick,” Belle gasps, huffing and puffing her way up the hill to Mokugakure. The path is lined on either side with crowded bamboo plants. Her new sandals dig into the dirt as she pushes herself relentlessly forward, the water in her pack weighing her down. Twenty feet ahead, Heidi is hiking cheerfully forwards. Belle stops and leans against some of the bamboo, shrugging off her pack.
“One sec,” she calls as she fumbles for some water. Heidi looks disappointed, but does not say anything as she bounces down towards Belle.
“Kay-ay!” Heidi squeaks as she gratefully takes Belles water bottle. The blonde Prime is dressed like a cardio bunny, in a pink sports bra and yoga pants. Belle watches the toned young woman guzzle the water greedily, deep in thought.
Belle scratches at the cast on her arm, itching and sweaty, and finally, she rips it off. She flexes her hand slowly, wincing only slightly as she observes each finger curl and uncurl. The breeze feels welcome. They continue onwards.
The girls meet several travellers on the way down the hill, including a juggler that keeps Heidi’s rapt attention for nearly an hour. The juggler’s friend, a sword wielding twi’lek, speaks in hushed tones with Belle about the Darklings. Heidi is not paying close attention, as it sounds very serious.
By the time the girls get to the top of the hill Belle’s legs are screaming, her lungs are on fire, and she is ready to collapse. Her back aches from the strain of carrying the water-laden backpack.. Belle shrugs off the heavy pack and leans forward on her knees, gasping. Heidi of course, is already there.
“We made it!” squeaks Heidi happily. “And guess whaa-aat?” she asks mischievously.
Belle does not.
“I got to bring a friend!” Heidi reveals as she pulls the bright pink bunny from her backpack, looking a little wrinkled. Belle stares. “I know you said not to bring her,” says Heidi, hugging the bunny tightly. “But look, we had plenty of room!”
“I carried the water,” says Belle numbly, her hands on her knees, still gasping for breath. Heidi nods, her pigtails bobbing.
“You sure did!” the blonde agrees, somewhat condescendingly. “Now stop lollygagging and grab the water, cmon!” Heidi squeaks, delivering an encouraging open-palmed smack to Belle’s butt.
