If it was any other person, Naruto might have taken that the wrong way, but he nods, wondering what they could do to occupy their time as he feels the wind start to pick up a little. He watchs her walk off, and he attacks his fourth cup, happily slurping down the noddles and broth. Grabbing Rikkus half finished cup, he makes quick work of it and he leans back for a moment and lets out a happy sigh, patting his stomach. Nothing like ramen to make your day better!
Naruto cleans up their lunch mess though, quickly stacking the cups in each other and stuffing them in his bag once he cleans them enough so they won't make a mess. He slings the pack over his shoulder and goes to put it in the tent, looking up as clouds seem to cover the sky where they are camping slowly and he knows they better get everything in quickly.

She had to roll the bags a little to get them to where Rikku felt she could carry them without dragging. It is a bit awkward but she manages. Luckily, except for the bags & the hover-cycle everything else was still already in the tent.
Rikku is spreading the combined bags flat in the tent when Naruto arrives with his bag. She looks up with a smile. "You know... we could play shadow puppets or I could show you the rest of my DressSpheres."
Remembering something, Rikku makes a little 'o' & her eyes widen. "But I'd better get them back out of the cycle first!"
She dashes from the tent. "I'll need it for my Festival Sphere anyway! I promised!"

Naruto nods and smiles, he was quite eager to see the rest of her outfits. He sets his pack next to his sleeping bag and goes outside to see if Rikku needs anymore help with anything, "Will the hover cycle be ok out here if the storm hits?" he asks, looking to the machine.

Punching in the codes, Rikku grabs her bag of spheres when the cycle's compartment opens. "Hmmm?" She had been pretty focused and not expecting a query. "Oh! Yeah!" With a grin she pats the machina fondly. "This could fall to the bottom of the lake & come out just fine. I tested it in Bass'ken. Unlike motorcycles, our hover-cycle is fully rain capable!"
The sky was starting to look awfully dark, but Rikku's mood was bright. In or out, she knew they would have fun. Setting her bag of spheres inside the tent she looked back around the campsite. What was it she was forgetting?
"The Blitzball!" Like a shot, Rikku raced for the lake. She hoped the ball was close to the shore.

Naruto follows after Rikku, looking around for the Blitzball as well, not wanting to lose it in the coming storm, feeling his hair rustling in the rushing wind. He spots the odd looking ball floating close the shore, but still where you would probably have to get into the water, "There it is, I'll get it!" he announances and he quickly rushes into the water, gasping from the coldness as he makes his way to the ball, reaching out to grab it.

"Booyah! It didn't stray!" Rikku stops at the water's edge, not wanting to make waves to cause the ball to drift out of the ninja's grasp. She watches as the breeze seems to blow the ball onto Naruto's reaching fingers. Smiling she squats down, ready to give Naruto a hand out when he returns.
"But Ruto! You're all wet! & there won't be any sunshine to dry you. Now we're going to have to get you out of those wet clothes before we can have any fun!"

Naruto grabs the ball in his hands, sweeping it up. He makes his way to shore, grabbing Rikku's hand as she helps him out. He looks down at his pants, seeing they are totally soaked, "Hehe, it's, I have some shorts I can change into when we go inside! Which we should do now, looks like that storm is heading right for us!" he says, looking to the sky and the dark clouds covering the once sunny day. He rushs over to the tent, dragging Rikku with him so they don't get caught up in it.

She laughs, running along behind him. Entering the tent after Naruto she turns & swiftly shuts the door, sealing them in tight. "Now out of those pants! We need to hang them up so they can dry or the tent will smell funny by morning."
Wrinkling her nose at the thought Rikku grabbed a coil of rope -never leave home without it- and turned on a camping lantern. Then she looked around for somewhere on the tent walls she could tie the rope. She was in luck . There were circles in most of the corners which would do perfectly. In fact, it looked like they could be used to drape curtains to partition off different parts of the tent. Tying the rope across between two of the loops, Rikku decided to bring it across to another. If nothing else, they could throw up the extra blanket over the rope & pretend they were having a show!

Naruto turns and starts to take off his soaked pants, leaving him in his muscle shirt and orange boxers. He lays the pants flat to get ready to hang up to dry and he slips the shirt off as well, not minding since Rikku has seen him in his boxers before. He goes over to his pack and sits down, opening it up and digging around, pulling out a pair of dark blue shorts and he slips them on, falling down on his back and kicking his legs into the air as he slips them on. He gets ready to button them up when the sound of thunder booms close by and he sits up, hearing the wind rushing outside, knowing it has picked up alot now.

The close boom of thunder nearby jolts Rikku from her thoughts. Automatically she finishes tying the rope. Then she turns to Naruto & blushes a bit for a reason Rikku simply cannot fathom. Shaking the blush from her cheeks, she bounces over to grab Naruto's pants & hang them up. Water drips from them & she decides to open the door just enough to wring some of the excess out before hanging.
It takes a little bit of finagling but she manages. Turning back around after reclosing the entrance she gives Naruto a look of wonder. "You'd think the tent would be affected by that wind. I wonder if that's part of its magic?"
She pondered the possibility as she draped the orange pants over the line.

Naruto stands up to zip up and button his shorts, looking over to Rikku as she hangs his pants up and he looks about the tent, hearing the wind rush by, but not seeing the tent jostle any. "Maybe, but at least we aren't out in the storm!" he says happily. He goes to sit on their joined sleeping bags, sitting indian style. He smiles over at Rikku, putting his hands on his knees, "Do you think you can show me your different outfits now?" he asks eagerly, his tail wagging about.

The Al Bhed claps her hands happily. "Booyah! Sure!"
Grabbing the bag of spheres Rikku goes to the edge of the sleeping bags & kneels down, dumping the bag out on the corner. In a moment she has her sphere grid out, & empties that too. Then she starts sifting through the spheres, muttering names under her breath & placing DressSpheres Naruto has already seen into the bag. Snagging the first four that Naruto has not seen Rikku pops them into her SphereGrid.
Now... Which one first? She glances over the ones she happened to pick. Closing her eyes, Rikku randomly moves her finger & activates a sphere.
Once the flashes of light & changing effects die down Rikku swings her large sword in a careful arc. Her headband for the first time has changed colors from blue to black with red trims. The outfit itself seeming to be form fitted & flexible armor with heavy shoulder pads. Grinning, Rikku points the tip of the sword at Naruto. "Warrior."

Naruto shields his eyes from the light, and when he blinks them open, he looks Rikku over in her new form fitting outfit, but he can't take his eyes off her sword, "Wow, that is so cool!! So you can like kick all kinds of a** with that, can't you?" he says in excitement, almost bouncing.

She moves the sword away with happy bright eyes & does a slashing move away from their gear. "You bet! I can choose different magic damages & stuff to add to attacks since I've mastered the sphere too."
"Glad you like!" Grinning she posed & winked. "You wanna try to hold the sword or shall I go on to the next sphere?"

Naruto eyes the sword and he wasn't sure he could handle such a large looking weapon, kunai's were more his thing. He shakes his head, "Nah, I'm cool! Bring on the next one!" he says excitedly, pumping his fist.
