Mandy – What strains would that be? ^^;;;
*Ahem*
Mandy - Sorry.. >.>;;

So they’ve decided to take a camping trip at a nearby park. Yuki-chan’s holding a stick equipped with a mini marshmallow eagerly awaiting some smore goodness while Zaydin’s sitting around looking bored. Zoey, for the moment, is no where to be seen.

Zaydin – You know, I think that might work a little better when the fire’s actually lit.

Yukiko – I know, Zoey-san’s looking for the matches. ^^<3 La la toasty marshmallows~

Zaydin – Zooeeeey… haven’t you found those matches yet?
The flame headed twin yawns and listens but there’s no response from his sister. After a few moments his wild imagination begins kick in causing worry to tickle at the back of his mind.
Zaydin – Zoey?
Then, from out of the shadows…

Zoey – RAAAAWR!
The Zoey monster attacks!

Zaydin – Ack! O_O! *falls over*

Yukiko - *giggles softly* Tee hee~<3

Zaydin – *not amused* The matches?

Zoey – That is well... I ah… think we forgot them… >.>;;

Yukiko - *disappointed* Aww… sad
Zoey – But!

Zoey makes herself comfortable taking a seat around the ‘camp fire’ and holds a flashlight up to her face… the intended effect being somewhat lessened due to the fact that it was still daytime.
Zoey - A fire isn’t required to tell scary stories!

Yukiko – Scary stories?

Zoey - *nods* Yep! Unlike matches, scary stories are absolutely required when you go camping.

Zaydin – Aww geeze…

Zoey – Have either of you ever heard of... Giants?
Zaydin - *pretending not to listen*

Yukiko - *shakes his head, wide eyed and listening intently*

Zoey – *leans in and whispers as if she’s telling a very important secret* Well, legends say that Giants are a race of huge monsters over 60 centimeters tall.
Yukiko – o.o!

Zaydin is busy creating his own little dirt drawing depicting just what he thinks of Zoey's 'scary story'.
Zaydin – Psht… please..

Zoey - *sends a meaningful glare Zaydin’s way who grumbles but remains quiet for the rest of the story.* As I was saying, Giants are huge creatures with an even larger appetite *dramatic pause* for brains.

Yukiko – O_O!! *huggles tightly to his marshmallow stick*

Zoey – They have long razor sharp teeth and claws they use to rip into skullcaps and slurp out the brains inside. *makes a slow slurping sound* Sllllluuuuuuuurp. Legends say that a camp of Giants used to live very close to this very park.

Yukiko – *now rather frightened* Uwah...

Zoey - * giggles* Don’t worry Yuki-chan. *clicking off the flashlight* There’s really no such thing as…

Zoey’s reassuring words are cut short as the Troupe hears the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps.

Yukiko – W…what’s that?

Even the normally unshakable Zaydin goes stock still... that is until he feels a slight tug on his shirt that sends him leaping forward to hide behind his sister for protection.
Zaydin – GIANT!!

The being standing before the trio could hardly be called a giant by any definition of the word. Standing just over ten centimeters tall and currently sitting was a wild haired little… something wearing a froggy shirt and sneakers.

Zoey – Some giant… -_-;; *points out the ‘giant’ to Zaydin*
Zaydin – >.>;;;
Yukiko – O_O! Ah! Ringo!?

Ringo, panting from running shuffles over before stumbling over into an awkward bow.
Ringo – Y… Yukiko-hime..

Zaydin – O_O! *looking to Yuki-chan* Hime!? (Princess!?)
Zoey - *thinking* The cat's out of the bag...

Yukiko - ^^;;; Eh heh heh…
To be continued...
I love OMAKE!
