While Luffy was off trying to figure out how to cook his catch, Guu and Desco returned to their swimming practice. She was pulling the demon child along by the arms, kicking her legs along the surface as hard as she could. Eventually Guu moved her hands to the girl’s shoulders.
Now paddle with your arms in a circle.
She did so, splashing droplets of water everywhere with each rotation.
Keep at it… and… She gently lets go and gets out of the way.
She was a little precarious, sinking only a little bit before stabilizing, but she was still paddling forward. She made it a good 5 feet from Guu, when she suddenly popped upright. She was holding a red shellfish in her hand.
“Hey look, Guu! I caught a crab! Let’s eat it!” She said excitedly. However, the pink one only looked upon her blankly. The demon child looked back in puzzlement. “What?”
”Desco, you just swam 5 feet.”
“I did?” She said, cocking her head.
”Look at the distance you’ve made.”
She looked at the space between them, then at Guu, then at the space between them, then at Guu. Her eyes light up as a smile spread across her face a mile wide.
“I swam!” She said gleefully.
”You swam”
”I SWAM!”
She floated as fast as he could to close the gap between the two and went in for a big hug. She starts hopping up and down while clinging to her, not even acting annoyed at these turn of events.
Soon after, the two sat on the beach together. Desco was gleefully giggling, still on a high from her accomplishment.
”Just find yourself a body of clean water back home. Practice that as much as you can and you’ll be an expert swimmer in no time.”
”Home?”
”Well, yeah, your father’s laboratory. Don’t you live there?
Desco paused for a moment, her jovial attitude shrinking.
”Well, I like visiting daddy, but I don’t think I live there.” She began. ”Desco wants to go on adventures! Daddy is usually busy all the time anyway with his work”
”Well, do you have anywhere else to go?
“No. But I will find something! A final boss always does!”
”Well, actually, if you’d like…” Guu started, looking carefully for the words. ”You can come live with me in Ambrosia
”You want me to join your Dictatorship?” she inquired.
”It’s not a-” She started to yell, but she stifled it. ”After you’re done visiting your father, I’d like you to join my Kingdom Desco. I want you to live in my palace and we could go on adventures together just like the good old days. I want to look after you, because… well…”
There was a pause. The air between the two was tense. Guu swallowed her pride.
”…I care about you.” She said casually. She peeked over to Desco, her eyes were glimmering at this. She wasn’t sure how to read this expression as her mouth was ever so slightly ajar. ”So… will you come live with me?”
After a brief moment of silence, Desco still making that face, she noticed the Demon girl was getting a little watery-eyed at the sentiment. She suddenly donned a large smile.
“Of course I will!” She said.
Guu, not sure how to respond in this situation, awkwardly sidles over to the demon child and gives her a hug. Desco gleefully returns it.
Suddenly the rubber man calls from the edge of the beach.
“The meat! It’s ready!” He yelled to the two.
In front of them was the entire car sized creature engulf in a bon fire. Luffy tore off large pieces of meat and handed them towards Desco and Guu. The Pink one took a large bite. Considering her low standards of food up to this point, it was the best thing she had ever eaten. Any kind of real meat was a delicacy over that MREs.
Luffy, satisfied the other two had a piece, preceded to gorge himself on the remainder. Desco couldn’t help but laugh, which prompted Guu to somewhat do the same. The pink princess lays up against the demon child as she brewed up positive emotions inside of her. For the first time in a long time, she was part of a family. A real family.
…
Guu suddenly bonked Luffy over the head as he was still just getting started on eating the rest of the meat.
”You idiot! You made a signal fire leading every prime right to us! She yelled as loud as she could with her voice. ”Do you want to get us into more fights?”
“Yes.” He responded, which lead to another bonk over the head.
Guu yanked out the map
”Ok, the smartest route is to head down thi-” She began, pointing at the map, but she was cut off by a Luffy, looking over her shoulder.
“There’s a Diner? I’m so there! Yosh!” He yelled, heading off the direction of the map. Desco soon followed.
”Me damnit.” She said as she ran to catch up with them.
