"Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are..." Yonezawa Masago sank quietly as she sat sideways in her desk staring up at the sky. For as tomboyish as this brown haired ponytail rocking girl is, complete with wearing her school uniform like a jacket and wearing long high up socks, she has a lovely singing voice when she bothers to put in the effort. Which is usually when she's with her friends or alone and relaxing. On the rare occasion that she really sings her heart out in public though she can draw a crowd. Of her friends group she is undoubtably the ringleader and one of the more popular girls at Wakano High School.  Right now though she just drew the attention of her Tahara Himeko. "Wow, Yoney! You are psyched for the meteor shower tonight, huh?" Tahara is Yonezawa's mischievous best friend who gives off the air of a clever and tricky kitten.  "Is there anybody who isn't?" She asked as Tahara leaned forward and relaxed against a desk. "I'm pretty sure everyone's been counting down to it and I'm bringing everything to the show. I'm talking a blanket, drinks, snacks the whole eighteen yards. We'll have cameras set up and catch the whole thing on video!" "Don't you mean the whole nine yards?" "Eighteen is two times nine. I'm going above and beyond." "Of course you are. Just like in everything you put your mind to. Because you like you always say-" "Anything worth doing is worth going above and beyond for!" "Anything worth doing is worth going above and beyond for!" They finished simultaneously and laughed. "My parents might have drilled that into me but it's a philosophy worth living. Go above and beyond in everything in your life and the money will rain." "Ohhhh so I assume that will include taking Nishikawa on a date to the shower as well." "Huh?" "You knoooo~oowwww!" She leaned over to her and whispered in her ear. "Taking him to the shower? Making it raaaaiiiin?" "....Do you want me to throw you out the window?" Yonezawa challenged. Tahara backed off and laughed. "God you're easy!" "Ah shut it and take your head out of the gutter." "Oh fiiiine. Just for you and only for right now." "Cool. So then. We'll meet on the roof at lunch to go over our plans for the meteor shower one last time." She explained in a stern manner before perking right back up. "This is going to be great! I just know it! It's a sign, Tahara, a sign of great things to come!" She declared confidently. "I certainly hope so. But, ah, will you be taking the school's noble prince with you or not?" "I mean..." She looked back as the other students began filing into class. "He's probably already got a date but what the hell, I'll shoot my shot. If not, I'm still going with my bestie so with all things in life I win either way." |

If not, I'm still going with my bestie so with all things in life I win either way." "That's rather confident of you." "It's the best way to live. Set up every situation in advance so that you come out on top regardless of how the coin lands." Yonezawa informed her and stood up. She walked across the room like she owned it as she passed the chattering students to meet with Nishikawa. "Yo, Nishikawa!" Nishikawa Tokuma set his bag down on his desk and smiled. As always he had an air gentle romanticism about him with a tall, sleek, lean, good looking physique and neck length ivory hair, he had the pretty boy bishounen look nailed down to an artform. "Good Morning, Yonezawa. Are you ready for another fine day at this elite educational establishment?" "Of course but what I'm really interested in is The Meteor Shower tonight. I've already prepared my viewing plans of course but if you'd like to come along and join us you would be more than welcome to do so. The more the merrier after all." "Sure. It sounds like fun. When do you want to go over the plans?" "Tahara and I are going to be on the roof during lunch where we'll be discussing our plans together if you want to join us!" "Wow you really plan ahead for everything don't you? I like it!" He told her with a thumbs up. "I'll be there!" "Great! This is going to be so much fun! Lunch then! It's a date!" She fist bumped him and returned to her seat humming to herself. Nishikawa laughed and took his own seat and chatted with his own friends while Uchimura Chihoko watched the whole conversation from the doorway. Her unblinking eyes staring at Yonezawa from behind her glasses until the teacher tapped her shoulder and informed her that she needed to step inside. She nodded and walked over to her desk, set down her bag and got set up for class. She shot a look at Yonezawa again and then pushed it out of her mind to focus on her education.  This timid little lady gives you in the mind of a deer or a dove. With her shining glasses, shy and cute demeanor, clean and proper school uniform and twin braided pigtails, her whole outward appearance exudes cuteness and innocence. The boys in this school wear striped, nylon trousers that reach down to about their calves and thus reveal their sporty loafers, all of which are colored almond. They're paired with regular, diagonally striped socks and a thick belt colored jasper. An almond fairly short sleeved shirt is roughly tucked into their trousers and covered with a comfortable jacket. A short tie splits right down the middle of their often unbuttoned jacket and is thinly checkered in almond and jasper. The girls wear tiered skirts in almond and they reach down to just above their calves. They're paired with over the calf socks and pumps colored in jasper and almond respectively. Like the boys the girls wear fairly short sleeved shirts, which are usually almost perfectly tucked into their skirts and are covered with a loose jacket. They too wear a tie that splits right down the middle of their often mostly buttoned up jackets and is broadly checkered in the same colors. All jackets have buttons with the school symbol on them and, although discouraged by teachers, many students wear uniform matching accessories, sometimes somewhat as an act of defiance. Professor Goya Sho entered after everyone had already gotten comfortable and the students stood up and bowed to greet him. He nodded and they sat back down. Professor Goya is a middle-aged man with well combed slicked back black hair and expensive glasses. He typically wears a dark colored business suit with playing card patterns on it. He's wearing a standard shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the graceful bow tie he's wearing. On top of the shirt he's wearing a trendy vest with 6 buttons, it has a narrow v-line, which allows for the top to remain visible even when the suit's jacket is buttoned up. The jacket is a perfectly tailored fit for him. It has a subtle pinstripe pattern which gives the suit an elegant look. The 4 buttons of his single breasted jacket are all buttoned up, he wants to look stylish after all. The jacket is longer at the back, it has no vent, there's a single pocket on one side and there's a breast pocket which contains a stylish pocket square. He's wearing pants which copy the style of the jacket, both in color and pattern and they perfectly complement his shoes. He's wearing an elegant pair of brogue monkstraps. To top it all off he's wearing a stylish belt, which can be accompanied by a hat and cuff links. Combined with his fancy watch it's clear that his outfit is intended to show off his class and status, especially over the students. Professor Goya cleared his throat. "Alright now kids I'm glad you're all here today and actually awake. I know you're all eagerly anticipating tonight's meteor shower but I want you to focus on the here and now because we've got a big test today and I want to see you kids focused on it! Now this shouldn't be too hard, it's just 53 questions, but that doesn't mean you get to slack off. Focus on your test, work hard, and do your best. I expect to see 100% effort from everyone! Got that?" "YES SIR!" "Excellent! It's kids like you that make Wakano High Proud! Now I want everybody in the front row to take one test pamphlet and pass it back." He informed them as he handed out the piles of test papers. The students took the papers, set aside their own tests, and handed back the rest until everyone had a test. Yonezawa accepted hers and passed the rest back and then looked hers over. Astrophysics is a complex field of study. Top students must be capable of a high-level of abstract reasoning and need the ability to grasp advanced mathematical and scientific concepts, including quantum mechanics, field theory, and vector calculus. It seems a little much for High School but that's just the kind of school that Wakano High was: A top notch ruthless education. (Good grief. What a way to start the day...) She readied her pencil and got to work. |

She readied her pencil and got to work. OOC: Quite a school, eh?  IC! Yonezawa carefully worked through the test over the course of the class. Slowly and methodically. She knew all too well that you couldn't just breeze through these kinds of tests. You have to take your time with them, read the questions and answer every part of it. While she hadn't studied last night, she was busy chatting and gaming with Tahara, Yonezawa knew the material enough to handle a test like this. She gradually made it through the test and it's questions like a lone warrior fighting through a gauntlet of opponents as she climbed the tower ala Game Of Death. Every question answered was a knockout punch to the jaw. Every problem solved was a spinning kick to the face to drop her opponent. The work to answer them was the back and forth match between the two opponents until she shut down her opponent's offense and provided the answer and sent her opponent flying with the knockout. Over the course of the class she whittled down the questions until she had them all answered. All fifty-three questions answered successfully. All 53 opponents laid out and defeated. She went back to the first question and made her way down the various questions to double check her answers and then she sighed with relief and turned her paper over so she could relax. She noticed out of the corner of her eye though that Uchimura was already resting. Apparently she'd finished shortly before Yonezawa herself. Good for her. Tahara eventually finished her test as well, turned it over and slumped in her seat. Her dizzy spiral eyes staring up at the ceiling as she rested from racking her brain for the test. Nishikawa finished his own test and turned it over as he relaxed. (Alright that was fun. I really hope we don't have another test next period though.) One by one the remaining students finished their own tests and turned the papers over. Once everybody was finished Professor Goya clapped his hands. "Alright! Well done everybody! Hand your papers up to the front desk in your row and I'll come by and collect them." The students did as he asked and walked around taking their test papers and returning them to his desk so he could grade them later. This accomplished he switched to a lecture followed by homework assignments for the rest of the period. - After class ended and while they were waiting for their next teacher, Uchimura got up out of her desk and walked across the room to stop herself in front of Nishikawa's desk. "Uh-uhm...excuse me...Tokuma? Is it okay if I address you by your first name?" Nishikawa shrugged. "I don't have a problem with it. What's in a name anyway? What's up?" "Oh, okay, great, ah, I was wondering...a-are you busy tonight? Because I was planning to go watch the Meteor Shower tonight and I was wondering if you...perhaps...had any arrangements? And, if not, would you like to go with me?" Yonezawa leaned back in her seat as she watched her. (Little late isn't she?) "Oh, ah, sorry I just made plans with Masago." Tokuma informed her. "We're planning to meet up at lunch to talk about it but you're more than welcome to join us if you want." "Oh...oh...alright...yeah, okay, no, that's alright, I wouldn't want to crowd the party. Sorry." "Hey don't worry about it, it wouldn't be a problem at all." "No, no, that's quite alright, it's cool. Thank you!" She apologized and walked back to her seat. " Huh. Uchi's a brainiac but she's a bit of an oddball sometimes isn't she?" Masago whispered to Tahara. "My brain is friiiiied...." Tahara moaned and took out her Titans Of Judgment Manga. "I need a cool down..." "Oh hey is that the new volume?" "Heck yeah it is." "Cool. I've got next read after you're done." Uchimura glanced at Masago but then went back to preparing for their next class. |

"Uh-uhm...excuse me...Tokuma? Is it okay if I address you by your first name?" Nishikawa shrugged. "I don't have a problem with it. What's in a name anyway? What's up?" "Oh, okay, great, ah, I was wondering...a-are you busy tonight? Because I was planning to go watch the Meteor Shower tonight and I was wondering if you...perhaps...had any arrangements? And, if not, would you like to go with me?" Yonezawa leaned back in her seat as she watched her. (Little late isn't she?) "Oh, ah, sorry I just made plans with Masago." Tokuma informed her. "We're planning to meet up at lunch to talk about it but you're more than welcome to join us if you want." "Oh...oh...alright...yeah, okay, no, that's alright, I wouldn't want to crowd the party. Sorry." "Hey don't worry about it, it wouldn't be a problem at all." "No, no, that's quite alright, it's cool. Thank you!" She apologized and walked back to her seat. " Huh. Uchi's a brainiac but she's a bit of an oddball sometimes isn't she?" Masago whispered to Tahara. "My brain is friiiiied...." Tahara moaned and took out her Titans Of Judgment Manga. "I need a cool down..." "Oh hey is that the new volume?" "Heck yeah it is." "Cool. I've got next read after you're done." Uchimura glanced at Masago but then went back to preparing for their next class. The next few classes slowly crawled past. Calculus, Foreign Language, Psychology, Chemistry and Astronomy until they finally got a break for Lunch. Yonezawa signaled her friends and they gathered up their belongings and filed out of the classroom. Uchimura watched them leave and started to stand up to follow them but sat herself back down and quietly sighed.  Yonezawa, Tahara and Nishikawa arrived on the rooftop to see a few other students waiting for them: Hasaguchi Reina, Seki Tsukiko, Shimada Mariko, Igarashi Kimiko and Hamaguchi Saburou. "Alright good! Everybody's here!" Yonezawa raised her drink into the air. "CHEERS!" "CHEERS!" The rest of the group called out. - "We all know approximately when the Meteor Shower is supposed to come down so then the most important part of the plan is going to be finding a perfect place to watch. Our current plan is to meet up on Koromogawaku Yamagishi street. Specifically the big hill there. It's a steep climb but once we reach the top we'll be in the perfect place to watch the stars shoot across the sky." Yonezawa explained to the group and dug into her Bento Box before continuing from her seated position next to Nishikawa. "So what I need from all of you is Picnic Baskets, Blankets and Phones. You don't have to bring a lot, just enough to last us through the meteor shower while we take pictures and record the entire meeting for posterity. We are going to remember this moment forever." "Wow Yonezawa you've really thought this through. I'm impressed. My only question is if the school roof would be an easier position." "It would be perfect but the school would be closed by then and there aren't a lot of other available rooftops so we settled on Koro-Hill." She explained to Nishikawa. "Oh yeah. Smart." "Masago has her head in the clouds but she has a real eye for detail." Tahara teased informatively. "She's the one who saw the space shuttle coming down from space after all." "Yeah, I had to scan the sky for a while but I managed to catch it streaking across the night sky in time to snap a photo." Masago replied and fished out her phone and began flipping through the photos until she found it and handed it to Nishi. "See that? That's it." "Oh yeah that's it alright." He handed the phone back to her. "So you have an interest in Astronomy, huh?" "You bet! We found a meteorite when I was a kid I've been looking to the stars." She looked up and placed a hand over her head to shield her eyes from the Sun. "I really hope that I can go up there someday, you know? Even if it's just once I want to go up there. I want to walk on The Moon and see the stars." |

OOC: Quite a school, eh? IC! Yonezawa carefully worked through the test over the course of the class. Slowly and methodically. She knew all too well that you couldn't just breeze through these kinds of tests. You have to take your time with them, read the questions and answer every part of it. While she hadn't studied last night, she was busy chatting and gaming with Tahara, Yonezawa knew the material enough to handle a test like this. She gradually made it through the test and it's questions like a lone warrior fighting through a gauntlet of opponents as she climbed the tower ala Game Of Death. Every question answered was a knockout punch to the jaw. Every problem solved was a spinning kick to the face to drop her opponent. The work to answer them was the back and forth match between the two opponents until she shut down her opponent's offense and provided the answer and sent her opponent flying with the knockout. Over the course of the class she whittled down the questions until she had them all answered. All fifty-three questions answered successfully. All 53 opponents laid out and defeated. She went back to the first question and made her way down the various questions to double check her answers and then she sighed with relief and turned her paper over so she could relax. She noticed out of the corner of her eye though that Uchimura was already resting. Apparently she'd finished shortly before Yonezawa herself. Good for her. Tahara eventually finished her test as well, turned it over and slumped in her seat. Her dizzy spiral eyes staring up at the ceiling as she rested from racking her brain for the test. Nishikawa finished his own test and turned it over as he relaxed. (Alright that was fun. I really hope we don't have another test next period though.) One by one the remaining students finished their own tests and turned the papers over. Once everybody was finished Professor Goya clapped his hands. "Alright! Well done everybody! Hand your papers up to the front desk in your row and I'll come by and collect them." The students did as he asked and walked around taking their test papers and returning them to his desk so he could grade them later. This accomplished he switched to a lecture followed by homework assignments for the rest of the period. - After class ended and while they were waiting for their next teacher, Uchimura got up out of her desk and walked across the room to stop herself in front of Nishikawa's desk.

I want to walk on The Moon and see the stars." "You know, there are billionaires who are offering trips now." "One: Those guys are all the way over in The States. Two: They're usually creepers. Three: I'm talking about a real trip the stars. Real astronaut stuff. Not a brief round trip in some cobbled together 'spaceship'. I want the real experience. Shoooom! I want to put on a spacesuit, put on a helmet, fly up in a rocket and put my boots down on the moon." She set her food aside, stood up and began dancing across the rooftop and then began making slow heavy steps and slow small hops. "I want to experience zero gravity. I want to see moon dust on my suit. I want to hold the moon rocks. I want...I want..." She ran over to the fence, grabbed onto it, turned around and pointed at the sky. "TO GO UP THERE! Above the clouds! Above the sky! I want to be among the stars! I want to escape our Beloved Mother Earth's Gravitational Hold and see what the rest of the Solar System has to offer us! I want to see space! It's so beautiful! It really truly is!" She closed her eyes and looked up at the sky with her arms spread out. "It's so amazing. It's beautiful even! Living down here, on the ground, with the sun baring down on us, with light blocking out the stars, people forget the details. Forget how amazing space dust, galaxies, planets, stars all of it truly are! It's like a magically decorated ceiling and we haven't even begun to explore it yet! Just consider this, right?" She opened her eyes and danced across the roof towards the others again while she continued. "We are part of a solar system, over 99.5% of whose mass is accounted by the Sun alone. All planets put together account for less than 0.5% and you can be assured that our thriving planet Earth barely seems to have any contribution, when we have planets like Jupiter which can fit 1300 Earths into itself." She turned her spinning and twirling into an impromptu Flamenco Dance while she continued. The flamenco is a solo dance characterized by hand clapping, percussive footwork, and intricate hand, arm, and body movements and Masago was nailing it even while continuing to espouse the astonishing vastness of space. "Then, there are several such solar systems out there. Along with the stars, they form a galaxy, measuring nearly 100,000 light years in diameter, we call it the Milky Way. This Milky Way consists of almost 100β200 billion stars, as per the estimates. There are over a hundred billion galaxies out there, some mindbogglingly larger and some smaller than ours. Astronomers give a rough estimate of 10 trillion galaxies in the universe. The largest known galaxy in the universe has a 100 trillion stars and is 4 million light years in diameter. In your everyday kilometers, this is almost 37,842,920,000,000,000,000 km. However, the above huge number is minuscule compared to the apparent diameter of the universe, which is around 92 billion light years. Now, how about converting THAT to kilometers? 870,387,203,477,433,600,000,000 kilometers." She performed a quick tap dance to finish it off and struck a pose as her friends clapped and applauded her completely random but enticing performance. Then Masago turned around and sat back down to finish her lunch. "So yeah you could say I have an interest in it." She ate some food before she continued. "The Japanese space program has been developed for peaceful goals, completely separate from military technology. Therefore, the program's purposes are generally commercial or scientific so that's right up my alley." "Wow..." was all Nishi could initially say about her performance before he found his voice again. "Where....where'd you learn to dance like that?" "Oh. Mama taught me. She's a dance instructor." Masago summarized. "Wow..." He repeated. "Well, Yonezawa, you have my vote. I know you'll be a fantastic astronaut one day." Yonezawa Masago beamed with pride. "Thank you!" She bowed her head. "Thank you so much! "Anytime bestie." "So, regarding snacks, can we bring barbecue?" "Hmmmm....you know what? Sure thing. It should last long enough for us to enjoy it. So what do you plan on making?" "How about...BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders?" Nishi suggested. "Sold!" The rest of the friends agreed. They shared a laugh together and continued making their plans together for the meteor shower while Uchimura Chihoko eavesdropped from the roof access. |

They shared a laugh together and continued making their plans together for the meteor shower while Uchimura Chihoko eavesdropped from the roof access. The school day continued along and Yonezawa was eagerly counting down the hours until school let out so she could rush home and start making her preparations for the meteor shower. This was going to be the best day ever. One that she and her friends would look back on for the rest of their lives as a day that certified their friendship for life. She couldn't wait to take pictures of them together with the meteor shower in the background. It would be the first things he did when the meteor shower started up and then share it with them. One day, one day for sure, she would go to space and travel among the stars. But for now? The stars would come to them. Yonezawa hummed to herself while she got set up for Chemistry alongside Tahara. This was their last class of the day and the two always partnered up to get it done right. "Showers of diamonds cascading down, like a quiver of arrows, pounding the ground. The moon, cloaks itself with clouds, in the azure of melody and halcyon, the spirits return to their zeniths, as shooting stars deluge the planet. Flowers go into hiding under the willows, waiting for the twilight storm to stop, hoping for amber light, and bees appearing to collect their nectar. When the crest of meteors is over, life appears once more, ethereal and energized for yet another day." allpoetry.com/poem/10564643-Meteor-Showers-by-gonebeforedawn"Hey that was pretty good." Uchimura complimented her. "Hi Uchimura! Thanks. Yeah, ah, I know it's weird to say it in a Chemistry Class of all places but I've always felt a connection to space. Like it was calling to me." Yonezawa admitted. "What do you mean by that?" "I can't really put it into words." She admitted. "It's hard to properly describe it, but, I've always had this undeniable passion for space. I've watched documentaries, done the research, and there's even this space seminar coming up that I'm planning to attend! Don't get me wrong, I know it'll be tough. It'll be rough, and I've got my work cut out for me but..." She tapped her foot against the floor. "I don't belong down here, on Earth, shackled by gravity." She pointed at the ceiling. "I belong up there, traversing the stars, exploring the universe, checking out other planets...I've felt it all my life: The call of the unknown. The allure of the infinite, the thrum of adventure in my veins. It's like a siren's song, beckoning me to leave the confines of Earth behind and soar into the great unknown." She sighed. "I feel like I just have to do it. I have to leave the safety of our mother planet behind and venture into the void, to find out what lays beyond the reaches of human understanding. That's who I am, that's how I live and that's the dream I am going to achieve." "That's so awesome. Hey, do you think you'll be fighting aliens?" Uchimura joked. "Hey if they wanna throw hands with an Astronaut then I'll be waiting for them." She responded with a wry smile. "That's certainly an out of this world dream but I know you can pull it off. You're special, Masa, if anybody can escape gravity's hold it'll be you." "Thanks. That means a lot." "Yoooo! How's it hanging, Glasses-Gal?" Tahara asked her. "Ohhh it's hanging alright. I suppose. Thanks." She looked up at the clock. "The teacher will be here soon so I should probably go find a partner. We'll talk later! Have fun!" She waved and began scurrying around the room trying to find someone who was open. Nishikawa already had a partner, much to her dismay, so she switched tactics and went for the one student who was still open: Tanifuji Tsurayaki. One of Nishikawa's friends. If she could get close to him then she could leverage that to get close to Nishikawa. For now she would play it cool. "H-h-hi Tani. Can I call you Tani?" "Uhm..." "Great. You're so nice. Want to be partners?" "Sure." He decided. "That's so sweet. Oh and your uniform is looking great today." "Thanks. Yours too." The professor arrived soon after this and the class began in earnest with the kids following the professor's lead in several experiments and replicating them as he did them. It was a fun class and an excellent way to cap off the day. |

When the crest of meteors is over, life appears once more, ethereal and energized for yet another day." allpoetry.com/poem/10564643-Meteor-Showers-by-gonebeforedawn"Hey that was pretty good." Uchimura complimented her. "Hi Uchimura! Thanks. Yeah, ah, I know it's weird to say it in a Chemistry Class of all places but I've always felt a connection to space. Like it was calling to me." Yonezawa admitted. "What do you mean by that?" "I can't really put it into words." She admitted. "It's hard to properly describe it, but, I've always had this undeniable passion for space. I've watched documentaries, done the research, and there's even this space seminar coming up that I'm planning to attend! Don't get me wrong, I know it'll be tough. It'll be rough, and I've got my work cut out for me but..." She tapped her foot against the floor. "I don't belong down here, on Earth, shackled by gravity." She pointed at the ceiling. "I belong up there, traversing the stars, exploring the universe, checking out other planets...I've felt it all my life: The call of the unknown. The allure of the infinite, the thrum of adventure in my veins. It's like a siren's song, beckoning me to leave the confines of Earth behind and soar into the great unknown." She sighed. "I feel like I just have to do it. I have to leave the safety of our mother planet behind and venture into the void, to find out what lays beyond the reaches of human understanding. That's who I am, that's how I live and that's the dream I am going to achieve." "That's so awesome. Hey, do you think you'll be fighting aliens?" Uchimura joked. "Hey if they wanna throw hands with an Astronaut then I'll be waiting for them." She responded with a wry smile. "That's certainly an out of this world dream but I know you can pull it off. You're special, Masa, if anybody can escape gravity's hold it'll be you." "Thanks. That means a lot." "Yoooo! How's it hanging, Glasses-Gal?" Tahara asked her. "Ohhh it's hanging alright. I suppose. Thanks." She looked up at the clock. "The teacher will be here soon so I should probably go find a partner. We'll talk later! Have fun!" She waved and began scurrying around the room trying to find someone who was open. Nishikawa already had a partner, much to her dismay, so she switched tactics and went for the one student who was still open: Tanifuji Tsurayaki. One of Nishikawa's friends. If she could get close to him then she could leverage that to get close to Nishikawa. For now she would play it cool. "H-h-hi Tani. Can I call you Tani?" "Uhm..." "Great. You're so nice. Want to be partners?" "Sure." He decided. "That's so sweet. Oh and your uniform is looking great today." "Thanks. Yours too." The professor arrived soon after this and the class began in earnest with the kids following the professor's lead in several experiments and replicating them as he did them. It was a fun class and an excellent way to cap off the day. After leaving class, Yonezawa whistled to herself as she circled around the school and walked the hallways until she made it to The Astronomy Club Room and she knocked on the door. "Password!" A voice called out to her from inside. "Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another." She quoted Plato. Ueno Nobu opened the door and allowed her inside. "Yonezawa! Welcome! I'm glad to see you made it!" "Wouldn't miss it for the world. Is everyone else already here?" She asked as she walked inside. The room was covered in Astronomy and Space Posters, Mini-Solar System Stands, Astronomical Event Charts And Reports, Several Computers, And Telescopes. "Everybody's here, girl: Reo Kanaoka, Tsuyoshi Nakamura, Hitoshi Nakamura, Mizuki Kumagai and Eriko Takakusa." "Excellent." She smiled and walked inside and set down her bag as she looked at the group around her. Reo Kanaoka has hooded, chocolate-colored eyes that glitter interestingly. He has shoulder-length, wavy, dark hair. His form is notably athletic. Tsuyoshi Nakamura has wide eyes that are the color of burning flames. He has short, luxurious, dark hair. His body is notably femminine. Hitoshi Nakamura has round, indigo eyes that glitter mysteriously. He has short, thin, straight, dark hair. His body is rather thin. You find he has an air of playfulness about him. He has an upturned nose and long-fingered hands. Ueno Nobu meanwhile can best be described as a tall, slender young man with almost no fat and little to no muscle, a delicate, androgynous kid with shining glasses on his face. Mizuki Kumagi is a thick girl with an hourglass figure, standing at 5'4" tall. She has long, luscious braided hair that falls past her waist and big, round eyes that are often framed by her glasses. Her skin is fair, and she has a cute button nose. She dresses in a stylish yet modest way, often opting for fitted tops that accentuate her curves and high-waisted bottoms. She also loves wearing comfortable flats, as she doesn't like to wear heels. Her favorite accessory is a red choker necklace that she never takes off. Eriko Takakusa has an unusually tall and lanky figure for a 16-year-old girl. She stands at an impressive height of 5'10" and her long, black hair reaches down to her waist, often kept in two loose pigtails that bounce with her every movement. Her almond-shaped eyes are a deep shade of brown, framed by long, thick eyelashes. Her face is heart-shaped with high cheekbones and a dainty nose. Her arms and legs are long and lean, giving her a graceful and elegant appearance. Despite her height, she maintains a slim figure thanks to regular exercise and a healthy diet. Eriko's wardrobe consists mostly of casual, yet fashionable clothing that accentuates her unique features and height. "This is good. We can get this meeting started off right. Now then! Who here has made plans for the Meteor Shower tonight?" Everyone raised their hands. "Good. That'll save us some time. There's not much else to say at the moment, we're all free to watch the meteor shower together in our own way with our own groups, just be sure to bring your equipment with you and pay close enough attention that we can all write a report on it. We're doing it as a group so it qualifies as a Club Activity after all. Once we have all of the reports grouped up together, I'll gather them up and submit them as one giant super report!" Yonezawa explained to her friends with a big smile. "But that's not all! In the event that anybody finds a meteorite? It's first come first serve! Just be sure to pack safety equipment. Both for yourself and the meteorite. Remember that our hands are covered in oils and microbes, both of which can contaminate the meteorite and degrade its surface. Whether you're actively looking for meteorites or happen upon one, you should handle it with care. You all know the rules." She clapped her hands together. "Now then! Lets discuss our plans. I want to hear what everybody's got planned for the shower tonight." The others nodded and began to chatter excitedly amongst themselves. Reo spoke up first, "I've got a really nice camera set up in my backyard, so I'm going to take some pictures of the meteors streaking across the sky. It should be really cool!" Tsuyoshi added, "I'm planning on making a time-lapse video of the meteors with my phone. It should be quite the spectacle!" Hitoshi grinned, "I'm thinking of making a map of where everyone finds their meteorites and marking them on it. It'll be like a treasure hunt!" Ueno chimed in, "I'm going to bring my telescope and see if I can get a close-up view of any of the meteors. That should be interesting!" Mizuki smiled, "I'm going to invite some friends from school to come with me and just enjoy the beauty of the night sky together. We'll bring some blankets and snacks." Eriko finally spoke, "I'm going to try and find the biggest meteorite I can! I've got some special equipment to help me locate them, so wish me luck!" They all laughed and nodded in agreement. Yonezawa spread her arms outwards and then raised her head to the ceiling. "WONDERFUL! MARVELOUS! MAGNIFICENT! SUPERB! GLORIOUS! SUBLIME! You guys are the best ever! HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA! Trust me guys! This is going to be amazing! It's the start of something great! Something amazing! The future is now!" She lowered her arms and pointed at her friends. "Your ideas are great! Everyone! I love your ideas! They're perfect! Ladies And Gentlemen! Meeting adjourned. We can call it early today so everybody can run home and prepare for The Meteor Shower! Blast Off Everyone! With Our Bonds, We'll Grab Hold Of Space!" She quoted as she performed a wild pose ending with her extending her right hand forward and grasping the air with her hand. " It's Space Time!" Everyone quoted Fourze right along with her and cheered. Once the celebrations were done the group filed out of the room. |

The school day continued along and Yonezawa was eagerly counting down the hours until school let out so she could rush home and start making her preparations for the meteor shower. This was going to be the best day ever. One that she and her friends would look back on for the rest of their lives as a day that certified their friendship for life. She couldn't wait to take pictures of them together with the meteor shower in the background. It would be the first things he did when the meteor shower started up and then share it with them. One day, one day for sure, she would go to space and travel among the stars. But for now? The stars would come to them. Yonezawa hummed to herself while she got set up for Chemistry alongside Tahara. This was their last class of the day and the two always partnered up to get it done right. "Showers of diamonds cascading down, like a quiver of arrows, pounding the ground. The moon, cloaks itself with clouds, in the azure of melody and halcyon, the spirits return to their zeniths, as shooting stars deluge the planet. Flowers go into hiding under the willows, waiting for the twilight storm to stop, hoping for amber light, and bees appearing to collect their nectar.

Everyone quoted Fourze right along with her and cheered. Once the celebrations were done the group filed out of the room. The students filed out with their friends. Everyone Yonezawa knew was chattering excitedly about their plans for the day. Either the meteor shower or just the rest of the day in general. Yonezawa bounded down the stairs and hurried over to her Getabako to retrieve her shoes and then run home. She didn't have a moment to spare! The meteor shower was getting closer every second and she would not miss it for the world! Nothing would stop her! Not even that letter sticking out of it WHAT THE HELL?! She walked over to it, opened up the Getabako and took out the letter and she opened it up to reveal the insane ramblings of a demented madman. Yonezawa stared at it in disbelief and turned the paper over and back again. "The hell? Who in the actual hell wrote this garbage? Am I supposed to be intimidated by this? Pffft. Whatever. If you want to try and scare me? Show up and do it in person." She folded it back up, shoved it in her bag and retrieved her shoes and walked out of the school. She found Tahara waiting outside leaning against a wall. She immediately stepped up and waved to her but paused when she noticed the annoyed look on her face. "Ohhhh snap. You look mad. Did something happen in the club?" "Nahhh, they're all cool. It's this that's got me mad." She handed her the letter and Tahara looked it over with a look of surprise, shock, disgust and mild amusement. "Yeeesh. Who wrote this garbage? Do we have Goth Kids at our school now? Wednesday Addams?" "Heh. Not last I checked. The Dress Code is relatively loose but still too strict for that. I wouldn't put it past the Drama Kids though." Yonezawa joked. "I'm not too worried though. It's probably just some loser trying to scare me with a lame prank. I'll let the others know about it and put out a PSA about it but my focus is staying where it belongs: On The Meteor Shower!" "I'm with you there...hey, let me take a look at that again would you?" "Sure." She handed it back and Tahara took a picture on her phone. "For evidence purposes." "Good idea." She took the letter back and folded it back up and shoved it back into her bag. "Are you sure you aren't worried?" "Why would I be? I can handle myself. I've been in my fair share of scraps back in Junior High, remember? And this guy's probably just some bawk-bawk chicken. The fact that they chose to sneak this letter into my cubby instead of facing me directly tells you everything you need to know. Don't worry about me. I'm destined to become an Astronaut and I'm not going to let some creepy loser stop me." "That's my girl!" They high-fived. "You're going to become The Queen Of Space!" "Queen Of The Universe! I won't stop until I've explored every inch of space!" The two friends continued laughed and chattered the entire way home and Yonezawa refocused her attention on her preparations while Tahara kept an eye out for any potential nearby police officers. |

After leaving class, Yonezawa whistled to herself as she circled around the school and walked the hallways until she made it to The Astronomy Club Room and she knocked on the door. "Password!" A voice called out to her from inside. "Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another." She quoted Plato. Ueno Nobu opened the door and allowed her inside. "Yonezawa! Welcome! I'm glad to see you made it!" "Wouldn't miss it for the world. Is everyone else already here?" She asked as she walked inside.

The two friends continued laughed and chattered the entire way home and Yonezawa refocused her attention on her preparations while Tahara kept an eye out for any potential nearby police officers. Fortunately it didn't take long to track one down. Tahara spotted a car driving by and she immediately began jumping up and down and waving her arms. "Heeee-eeyyy! Right on time! Officer! Officer! Over here! We need to talk to you!" "You know? You could've just waved them down." Yonezawa informed her while waving her arm. "Oh I know. But come on, this is an emergency." "Not yet it isn't." "And that's why we need to nip it in the bud early." The police car slowed down and drove up to them and the window slid down. "Good afternoon young ladies. Can I help you with something?" The passenger asked. "Yes Officer. We have reason to believe that my friend is being stalked. Go on, show him the poem." "Mmmmm. It might just be a prank, we're not sure, but I found this in my shoe locker after school and I have no idea who planted it there." Yonezawa replied and took the poem out and handed it to him. The officer unfolded it and looked it over. "I see. Have you informed anybody else about this?" "Just my friend here. We're going to be placing it online and asking about it though." "Okay. We'll take this in as evidence for now but there isn't much we can do with a piece of paper alone. We need more information to go on before we can do anything. For all we know it could just be a prank. But just to be on the safe side, you should make some detours on your way home to confuse them and make sure you aren't being followed, stay with large crowds, stay in public places, and keep your phones handy. My name is Sekino Motoyasu. Do not hesitate to call us for help." The officer explained to them. "Do you have any possible clues as to who could've sent you this poem?" "No idea. I don't exactly have any enemies that I'm aware of besides that one streamer gaijin I sent running home a while back but I'm pretty sure he's still banned from the country anyway." "Alright. Okay then. Well. We'll take this in as evidence and if anything else happens or you see anything suspicious, trust your instincts, find an adult and call the police. Alright?" "Yes sir!" They replied. "Good. Now, do you need a ride home?" "We're almost sir, so we can walk, thank you." They saluted and the girls bowed their heads to the police officers and they returned to walking. - "That went as expected." Yonezawa admitted with a sigh. "Are you disappointed?" Tahara asked her. "Nah. I expected that they wouldn't be able to do much with just a random poem. Besides, our finger prints were all over it so who knows how much they can even find off of it?" "Oh. Damn. I didn't even think of that. Why didn't you remind me of that?" "To be fair I wasn't wearing any either." She shrugged. "Anyway, you want to come over? Our houses are pretty close anyway." "Just for the sake of keeping you safe, bestie? I'm all in." "You're the best." - They arrived at Yonezawa's home and put away their shoes and then Yonezawa closed the door and locked it behind them and they headed upstairs to her room. Yonezawa closed the door and walked to her closet, retrieved her bat and sat down on the bed with it. "Alright! We're all set and ready for the next phase!" "Next Phase? And what's with the bat?" "Hey, if this mystery stalker, if he's even real, is going to try a surprise attack? Then he's going to find a certain something waiting for him." She laughed and patted the bat. "As for the next phase? It's going to be putting the poem on Social Media and getting the word out about it. The more people that know about it the less likely this guy is going to be to try anything." "Sound logic." She sat down on her bedroom and took a look around. Yonezawa really did have just the coolest bedroom. Her parents had transformed her room into a mesmerizing astronomy-themed haven. The walls were painted midnight blue and adorned with glowing stars and constellations. A large mural depicted a breathtaking view of Earth from outer space, complete with swirling galaxies and twinkling nebulae. Suspended from the ceiling were models of planets, hanging in perfect alignment as if orbiting around him. With a flick of a switch, tiny LED lights embedded in the walls illuminated to mimic distant stars. The room came alive, transforming into an interstellar sanctuary where imagination could run wild. The centerpiece of Yoney's celestial escape was her bedβa spaceship replica crafted by her father using reclaimed materials from an old junkyard. It had sleek silver curves that mirrored those of actual spacecrafts and even emitted gentle vibrations to simulate liftoff during bedtime stories. At nightfall, Yonezawa crawled under her galaxy-printed sheets and closed her eyes and her mind would drift away as she imagined herself soaring through vast cosmic landscapes beyond human comprehension. Some might think of it as childish but Yonezawa was her best friend in the world and Tahara was just always so happy to get to hang out in such a cool room. She refocused on the now and took her phone out. "But, like, suppose he does break in. Do you think you can take him?" "Oh come on, Tahara, you've seen me fight. I can handle myself against almost anyone. Besides, stalkers are usually pussy bitches anyway. The moment he sees me going full beast mode on him? He'll run home crying with his tail between his legs. I've done it before I can do it again." "Well, I mean, okay, I trust you and I believe in you, but are you sure you're not scared? Even a little?" "I'm not scared of anything. I'm going to be an astronaut no matter what any jerk says or does to try and stop me. I'm going to the stars, Tahara, I'm going to achieve my dreams and so are you. We'll be fine. Remember our promise?" She asked as she held up her pinky. "To always support and love each other to achieve our dreams and success in life no matter what. Besties for life. I remembered." She held up her own pinky and hooked it on hers. "I'm going to become a Computer Genius Fashionista." "And I'll explore the stars using the computers you designed. Promise." "Promise." They nodded to each other and then they got to work on posting information about the creepy poem that Yonezawa found in her locker on Social Media Sites. |

The students filed out with their friends. Everyone Yonezawa knew was chattering excitedly about their plans for the day. Either the meteor shower or just the rest of the day in general. Yonezawa bounded down the stairs and hurried over to her Getabako to retrieve her shoes and then run home. She didn't have a moment to spare! The meteor shower was getting closer every second and she would not miss it for the world! Nothing would stop her! Not even that letter sticking out of it WHAT THE HELL?! She walked over to it, opened up the Getabako and took out the letter and she opened it up to reveal the insane ramblings of a demented madman. Yonezawa stared at it in disbelief and turned the paper over and back again. "The hell? Who in the actual hell wrote this garbage? Am I supposed to be intimidated by this? Pffft. Whatever. If you want to try and scare me? Show up and do it in person." She folded it back up, shoved it in her bag and retrieved her shoes and walked out of the school. She found Tahara waiting outside leaning against a wall. She immediately stepped up and waved to her but paused when she noticed the annoyed look on her face. "Ohhhh snap. You look mad. Did something happen in the club?" "Nahhh, they're all cool. It's this that's got me mad." She handed her the letter and Tahara looked it over with a look of surprise, shock, disgust and mild amusement. "Yeeesh. Who wrote this garbage? Do we have Goth Kids at our school now? Wednesday Addams?" "Heh. Not last I checked. The Dress Code is relatively loose but still too strict for that. I wouldn't put it past the Drama Kids though." Yonezawa joked. "I'm not too worried though. It's probably just some loser trying to scare me with a lame prank. I'll let the others know about it and put out a PSA about it but my focus is staying where it belongs: On The Meteor Shower!" "I'm with you there...hey, let me take a look at that again would you?" "Sure." She handed it back and Tahara took a picture on her phone. "For evidence purposes." "Good idea." She took the letter back and folded it back up and shoved it back into her bag. "Are you sure you aren't worried?" "Why would I be? I can handle myself. I've been in my fair share of scraps back in Junior High, remember? And this guy's probably just some bawk-bawk chicken. The fact that they chose to sneak this letter into my cubby instead of facing me directly tells you everything you need to know. Don't worry about me. I'm destined to become an Astronaut and I'm not going to let some creepy loser stop me." "That's my girl!" They high-fived. "You're going to become The Queen Of Space!" "Queen Of The Universe! I won't stop until I've explored every inch of space!" The two friends continued laughed and chattered the entire way home and Yonezawa refocused her attention on her preparations while Tahara kept an eye out for any potential nearby police officers. Fortunately it didn't take long to track one down. Tahara spotted a car driving by and she immediately began jumping up and down and waving her arms. "Heeee-eeyyy! Right on time! Officer! Officer! Over here! We need to talk to you!" "You know? You could've just waved them down." Yonezawa informed her while waving her arm. "Oh I know. But come on, this is an emergency." "Not yet it isn't." "And that's why we need to nip it in the bud early." The police car slowed down and drove up to them and the window slid down. "Good afternoon young ladies. Can I help you with something?" The passenger asked. "Yes Officer. We have reason to believe that my friend is being stalked. Go on, show him the poem." "Mmmmm. It might just be a prank, we're not sure, but I found this in my shoe locker after school and I have no idea who planted it there." Yonezawa replied and took the poem out and handed it to him. The officer unfolded it and looked it over. "I see. Have you informed anybody else about this?" "Just my friend here. We're going to be placing it online and asking about it though." "Okay. We'll take this in as evidence for now but there isn't much we can do with a piece of paper alone. We need more information to go on before we can do anything. For all we know it could just be a prank. But just to be on the safe side, you should make some detours on your way home to confuse them and make sure you aren't being followed, stay with large crowds, stay in public places, and keep your phones handy. My name is Sekino Motoyasu. Do not hesitate to call us for help." The officer explained to them. "Do you have any possible clues as to who could've sent you this poem?" "No idea. I don't exactly have any enemies that I'm aware of besides that one streamer gaijin I sent running home a while back but I'm pretty sure he's still banned from the country anyway." "Alright. Okay then. Well. We'll take this in as evidence and if anything else happens or you see anything suspicious, trust your instincts, find an adult and call the police. Alright?" "Yes sir!" They replied. "Good. Now, do you need a ride home?" "We're almost sir, so we can walk, thank you." They saluted and the girls bowed their heads to the police officers and they returned to walking. - "That went as expected." Yonezawa admitted with a sigh. "Are you disappointed?" Tahara asked her.

Yonezawa closed the door and walked to her closet, retrieved her bat and sat down on the bed with it. "Alright! We're all set and ready for the next phase!" "Next Phase? And what's with the bat?" "Hey, if this mystery stalker, if he's even real, is going to try a surprise attack? Then he's going to find a certain something waiting for him." She laughed and patted the bat. "As for the next phase? It's going to be putting the poem on Social Media and getting the word out about it. The more people that know about it the less likely this guy is going to be to try anything." "Sound logic." She sat down on her bedroom and took a look around.

They nodded to each other and then they got to work on posting information about the creepy poem that Yonezawa found in her locker on Social Media Sites. "Ahhhh there we go." Yonezawa smirked as she watched their friends spread word out about it. She was well aware that not everyone would so helpful but the more people knew about it, the better it would be. "Heh-heh-heh, I bet this pussy little stalker's pissing his pants right about now. Now? If anything happens to either of us? The police will have some leads and with everyone watching our backs we'll be untouchable. But just in case? I'll take some insurance to the meteor shower. I don't think we'll have any problems but I want to be safe." She walked up to her closet doors, opened them up and took out a bat and a pair of armored gloves. "Just try and get me now." "Uhhh....incidentially...do you have anything for me?" Tahara asked. "Of course I do! I would never leave my bestie hanging! Give me a second...let's see....no...no...that's not it...no...where is...ha! Found it!" She pulled out a pair of nunchaku and handed her a pair of nunchaku! "Behold!" "Uhhh...thanks? But I don't really know how to use these and are these even legal?" "So long as they're used for Self-Defense, yes, technically. Besides, you don't have to use them. Just pose like you can. Creep-o sees you packing? He's going to think twice!" Yonezawa told her with a big wide smile. Obviously getting way too into this. "I'm not a Sukeban, Yoney! I'm barely a Martial Artist! I'm a Yellow Belt!" Tahara reminded her. "Can't I just, I don't know, carry a taser or pepper spray or something?" "Boo. Spoilsport." "You know me, Yoney. I'll take boring but practical over awesome and impractical any day." The two girls shared a laugh together and then Yonezawa sat back down next to her and then she set the bat down and looked back at her phone. "I really should charge this. My phone's gonna be busy tonight." "Good idea." She got up and started to walk towards the bathroom when Tahara stopped her. "Yoney! Wait! I have an idea!" "Sure, what's up?" "Grab the bat and gloves again! Put the gloves on and rest the bat on your shoulder so I can get a picture!" "Oh! Good idea!" She did as her bestie asked and placed the bat on her shoulder while posing proud and strong and serious until Tahara took the pictures and then she posted them. "That's my girl." She walked into the bathroom to plug in her phone when Tahara called back out to her. "You really do look like a Sukeban though!" "You're not a Sukeban until you master the Yo-Yo! It's a rule!" Yonezawa called back. |

Yonezawa called back. "Duly noted." She replied and plugged in her phone and then the two friends sat back down on Yoney's bed to work on their homework assignments together with the bat resting next to them. Normally they would find it a bit boring but after the sudden scare of the creepy letter it was a good way to start winding back down, chill out and take their minds off of it. Besides, Astrophysics assignments tend to require a good amount of brainpower and focus anyway, to say nothing of the other assignments, and they needed to take care of their homework before they could focus on the meteor shower. Fortunately they were able to work together and use their combined brain power to cut the time they normally would've spent on the assignments in half. It was still tough but that's the benefit of working with a friend. Time Passed and the two collapsed on the bed with their paperwork and books and assignments littering the bed around them. "Oh man that was bonkers. I'm drained after that." Tahara sighed. "Please tell me we can finally take a break." "We're all done so yeah, yeah we can definitely take a break." Yonezawa declared. "Be sure to pack up all your stuff first and then we can go have our snack break while we pack up our other snacks and drinks." "SWEET!" She sat back up and the girls packed up their homework assignments and then placed their bags on the bed. Yonezawa retrieved her phone from the bathroom and took point walking out of the bedroom and down the hallway with the bat in her hand and resting on her shoulder. Fortunately this proved to be unnecessary because nothing happened on their way back down to the first floor so Yonezawa set aside her bat and let it rest against the kitchen island while she retrieved a fruit salad from the refrigerator and filling up a bowl for both of them. "Alright, snacks are served, what do you want to drink?" "Oh! Do you have a W.W.3?" "One Whimsical Watermelon Wave coming right up!" She replied and returned to the fridge and retrieved a watermelon drink for Tahara and a Tropical Twirl for herself. After closing the refrigerator, Yonezawa sat down next to Tahara and they clinked their drinks and began enjoying their meals. The juicy sweetness of the strawberries and pineapples exploded in their mouths, mingling with the tartness of the kiwis and the creaminess of the coconuts. It was like a symphony of flavors, each one complementing the others in perfect harmony. This fruit salad was no ordinary dish; it was a masterpiece crafted with the finest fruits from across the land, each one carefully selected for its succulent sweetness and vibrant colors. Each bite of the fruit salad sent waves of pleasure through their taste buds, leaving them craving more as they savored every morsel. The whimsical watermelon wave meanwhile was a refreshing drink was not just any ordinary soda, but a delicious watermelon-flavored beverage that had been sweeping the nation by storm. At first, it was just a small, local phenomenon, cherished by the hipsters in the know. But soon, word of the whimsical watermelon wave spread like wildfire, and before long, it was all anyone could talk about. People from all over the country flocked to their local grocery stores, eager to taste the sweet, fruity goodness for themselves. As the demand for the whimsical watermelon wave grew, so did its popularity. Soon, it was being served in restaurants and cafes everywhere, and even the big soft drink companies had long since taken notice. The Tropical Twirl Soda was a sweet and fizzy concoction that was the epitome of tropical flavor. The drink was made with the finest ingredients, carefully selected to capture the essence of the islands. The Tropical Twirl Soda was a sight to behold. Its bottle was adorned with colorful, swirling patterns that seemed to dance in the light. When you poured it into a glass, the drink would foam and fizz, releasing a burst of tropical flavors that tantalized your taste buds. Islanders in the tropics adored the Tropical Twirl Soda, and it was a staple at every island gathering. Whether you were sipping it on the beach, at a barbecue, or at a festive carnival, the Tropical Twirl Soda was always the life of the party. Its sweet, tangy flavor was the perfect complement to the warm, sunny weather of the islands. They were the perfect drinks to compliment their pre-Meteor Shower Meals. |
