>"I kinda want to dance to it," says Meiling, "No idea how I'd go about it, though. Thanks for the pick me up!"
>You head toward the mansion, and find Flandre much more quickly than you anticipated, as your attention is drawn to a splash sound while you approach the front door. Looking over, you see Flandre is playing in the old fountain, while Sakuya is holding a parasol over her, maneuvering it as needed.

[Rin Kagamine]

> FFFFFFFFFFFFF
> Plan B: don't give crayons to Flandre
> Actually, we've been running around all day, would a bath and a change of clothes benefit us in any way?
