In This Day and Age

[Usha]

"So where have you been, Brady?" I ask while we wait for Kisa to answer her phone.

[Brady]

I think for a while...

" I don't really know actually. I just woke up inside the rebel base. Didn't know what was going on so I went to go have a rootbeer to clear my thoughts. "

[Usha]

"Oh well, not too much is happening around here. I've just been healing people mostly here at the base. Red Infinity hasn't attacked us for a while at least."

[Kisa Higurashi]

"Hellooo?" I said, putting the phone next to my ear. It has been forever since I've used it...so it feels it bit weird.

"Hey Brady! It's been a while. Usha there too?"

[Brady]

" Well that's good! I hope we don't have to relocate the base again if they do attack. I hate moving all the stuff and cleaning up the debris. "

Kisa answers, that's a relief.

" Hey Kisa. Yeah Usha's here. Do you want to meet us down at the rebel base? "

[Usha]

"It has been so long since we have all been together that we should go out and do something fun. Maybe we should go for a picnic!"

[Hatake Kakashi]

"Well, I'd best get going. I have to get us some new food at the very least." Kakashi stands and stretches, "Oh, and make sure you keep Illidan with you. I put everything that might hurt him out of reach but with little kids you never know for sure."

[Fascia]

"Alright. I will keep him out of trouble, though I can't promise anything for myself."

[Hatake Kakashi]

"Ha ha, very funny. Seriously Fascia. There's lot of shinobi stuff around here. I hid alot of weapons incase I was every attacked here. I'm planning to spent the rest of the day finding and removing them. I'll be back in an hour or so." With that, he heads out the door.

[Kisa Higurashi]

( This is Brady. Kisa has problems with the page so she's telling me to say that she's with Brady and Usha right now. )

[Usha]

Kisa arrives and I give her a big hug. Kisa has always been my best friend and I missed her.
"I am so glad to see you, Kisa!"

[Fascia]

Kakashi leaves, and I am left sitting next to a little Illidan, who is playing happilly on the floor.

"Daddy's too tense, isn't he? We won't hurt ourselves on all the sharp weapons, will we? No, we won't... No, we won't..."

I stop in the midst of my baby-babble and realize that I have been wholly taken over by the epidemic known as baby-talk. It is a horrible discovery. Just the thought of myself turning into some fluffy, sappy mother makes me cringe. I need to grab hold of something adult, and quick. I look around the room for something mature...

Kakashi really doesn't keep much around. I go to his bookshelf and look through the books. They are all old and dusty. Weapons, Warfare... bla, bla, bla... I pick out a good, thick history book and sit down on the couch.

I open the book to the introduction...

"When looking back throughout history, one finds many..." Many large words ensue... I wade through them all, in hopes of keeping a hold on my adult mind.

[Brady]

" Hey Kisa! " I say, glad to see a friend.

" So what now? Usha suggested we have a picnic, and that sounds like a good idea. I am rather hungry also. We're going to have to buy the food. Which way to the store? "

[Usha]

"There is a store right by the base."
I start leading them towards the store. I enter and pick up a basket.
"I think some bread, blueberries, peanut butter and jelly, nuts, and cookies would be good." I say as I start putting items into the basket.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Kakashi walks to the store and manages to get some apples and oranges, though they don't look to fresh. He'd have to make arrangement soon to get some fresh orders from an old friend of his. But this'll do for now. Food in hand, he heads back towards home.
