Who: Yotsuba Koiwai and whoever decides to join her.
Where: Outside of the mansion in the rain.
When: Anytime. Preferably during the day because her Daddy always told her never to go out when it's dark. :c
Rating: G. Preferably because this little girl is protected by waaaay too many big brothers (and a Daddy) that will pummel you if you try to corrupt this little one. :|
Summary: Yotsuba likes the rain. She likes watching it. She likes splashing in puddles and her favorite pass time is running around in it while it happens.
the Story:

[ Anyone who passes by any of the windows on the first floor should do well to note the scene they see through the glass. ]

Alice was bored. As usual. He often got bored considering his attention span. Now if this was back home he probably would have annoyed the Mad Hatter, but here there was no one to annoy, and he didn't feel like reading.

So, the next best thing he could (other then rolling on the bed) was wander the halls. He was now able to wander around the Mansion without getting lost anymore, which he was quite thankful of. Going downstairs, he reached the first floor, glancing at the window. It was still raining, all day, all night, just raining. It reminded him of his home, which was....he wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not, but it made him feel nostalgic.

Alice felt the sudden urge to just go outside, and get wet by the rain. And so he did, for when he felt an urge to do something, well..he did it. Going outside, the rain felt nice and cooling. Smiling a bit, he walked around a bit, before catching a sight of a little girl playing around in the rain. He was a bit surprised, since not many people he knew would go outside without any umbrellas, but then again there was odd people here. Alice just stood there and watched the girl.

There were puddles to be had! .... and lots of rain! And there was thunder too!

Oh, Yotsuba was having so much fun that as she raced across the mansion grounds -- grass, mud, water, what have you -- it was no surprise that her legs seemed to be covered in bits of pieces of earth that was stuck to her legs.

Her whole body was soaked through with water, but she just continued to smile while spinning around, kicking up the water any which direction.

Did we mention that she liked the rain?

After watching the girl frolicing around for a few minutes, for some reason he started laughing a bit. The girl just playing around in the rain, soaking wet, not caring anything at all.. It was just amusing.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

Despite the loud sound of the rain around her ears, Yotsuba picked up the sound of laughter asides from her own and stopped in mid spin. Turning, she sees Alice? standing there laughing at her -- smiling and in a general good mood.

So what does she do? She smiles right on back and rushes forward to stand a few feet from him.

"Are you here to play in the rain too, mister?"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Crouching down to be in the same level as the girl, he stopped laughing and grinned instead. "Nah, I just wanted to take a walk. You seem to be having lots of fun though," he said.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh! The rain is lots of fun!" Her smile seems to brighten as she mentions her love for the weather. ... although, the moment another rumble of thunder is heard, she's squeaking happily and stretching her arm out as far as they can go.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

"Is it? What do you like so much about it?" he asked, noticing the thunder. Alice thought little girls hated thunder, but she seemed to like that as well. What an odd girl.. Were they all like this? This was his first time talking to such a young girl.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

When she's asked what she likes about it, it makes Yotsuba stare at him confusedly. Her head leans curiously to one side as she thinks, "You don't think it's fun, mister?"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

"Fun? Uhh....." Alice thought for a while if he thought the rain was fun. He wasn't sure actually, rain only brought back memories of well..memories.

"I don't think much of it," he answered.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

Her emerald colored eyes widen at what he says. It's a shock! Someone who doesn't think much of rain! That positively COULD NOT BE!

"Why not?"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Alice never thought anyone could be so...shocked over rain.

"Um....well where I used to live, it rained everyday so it was kinda normal.and..well uh.." Alice didn't know what to say, he didn't really want to explain what rain meant to him to such a small child.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"Really?! It rained everyday?! That must've been super fun!" Her initial shock is seeming swept away at the idea of it raining all the time.

Her eyes glitter with excitement and as another roll of thunder comes around, she's once again laughing with happiness.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Alice smiled again at the girl's chipperness. "Yeah, I guess it was okay," he said.

He glanced at the sky as the thunder rolled. "So kid, what's your name?"

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"Yotsuba!" The green clover girl chirped outloud as she spots an unsplashed puddle and proceeds to step in it. Puddles were only good if they had good splash factors after all.

"Yotsuba Koiwai!"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet ya Yotsuba. I'm Alice," he greeted, watching Yotsuba make splashes. Alice didn't get what was so fun making splashes, but hey everyone had different ways of entraining theirselves.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"Alice..." Yotsuba lets the name roll off her lips before kicking up some of the water into the air with a giggle, "Have you ever found a fun puddle, Alice?"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

"A fun puddle? What's that?" he asked, tilting his head in confusion. "I thought all puddles were the same."

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"Nuh-uh! There are boring puddles and fun puddles!" Yotsuba looks around, and her eyes light up as she rushes over to a large and pretty deep water puddle.

She starts stomping her little feet in the water, more splashing occurring before she laughs up at him, "That was a fun puddle!"

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Alice was confused, he didn't get the whole 'fun' puddle and 'boring' puddle thing. "Then what's a boring puddle like?" he asked.

[yotsubakoiwai.livejournal.com]

"You can't have that much fun in it." Obviously, this type of logic only worked inside the mind of a child. But, for his sake, Yotsuba walks over to a very shallow puddle, and does the same exact thing.

Only this time, the puddle doesn't splash as far nor does it splash as high. "See? Not very fun."

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Alice kinda got the idea of the whole 'fun' puddle and 'boring' puddle thing now. After all, his mind was rather close to a child's as well!

"You like getting wet?"
