[Minako could be found just outside town. She and her Pokémon had long since recovered from the encounter with Sakina and her insane training methods. Now, instead of fight and fitness training, Minako was contest training. In other words, she was working on their crowd appeal.

The only two that seemed remotely interested in the idea were Rico and Eros. Artemis wanted to go back to battle training, Bugsy and Aaron couldn't be bothered with any of it, Weedsly was busy trying to look tough, and Belle was hiding in Minako's hair again. Minako was still trying to decide how to deal with Myrna. Most of her Pokémon were ground or could fly in some way. Myrna was her first that pretty much needed to be in water.]

I hope you can fit us in. [ And to seal the deal, here is an extra-special charming smile just for you.

Is your schedule open yet? ]

[child_of_luv]

[YES! YES, IT IS!

Ahem.

She smiled back, barely keeping herself in check.]

I hope so, too.

[Did her voice just squeak? Just work through it, girl. Feign ignorance. Keep cool.]

I'll see you around, then?

[Could her face get any hotter?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ She squeaked. That is precious. Haruka keeps grinning, reassuring and encouraging and oh, so amused. Having Minako around rehearsals would probably be entertaining. ] I'll look forward to it.

Woop woooooop woop woop! [ So is Wooper! He bounces for effect. Come be in the play! Or - or - maybe he will have to put on his own. About singing. And dancing. In the rain... ]

[child_of_luv]

[She gave a smile and a wave to them, Wooper especially, hoping her blush comes under control some time this century because Haruka was just too muuuuuch.]

See ya.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka nods. ] Break a leg.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooop!

[ That....probably doesn't need translating, does it. ]

[child_of_luv]

Thanks.

[And she'd be off, gathering her things and her Pokémon to head back to town.]

Good luck with your show there, little Wooper!

[actsmagnificent]

Woop woop woop woop woop!

[ Yeah, he's going to keep doing that until he can't see Minako anymore (while Super Beauty walks in a circle around him and her Trainer.) Haruka sighs, but she's smiling. She can't take these children anywhere. ]
