John gave a faint smile when Yukari assured him that she would not let harm come to him, and although he already knew that, it somehow comforted him.
"Yea? Maybe next time I'll let her borrow my helmet.", John jokingly said to Yukari as they eventually arrived at the seats.

"Well, I wouldn't say she was too overbearing. I wouldn't be surprised if she was watching me half the time, but she always made sure that I was prepared for anything, whether it was me suddenly having an umbrella in my bag on a rainy day, to secretly packing something extra into my lunches.", Takoizu said to the duo. As Takoizu talked, a small smile could be seen as the nostalgia of the past slowly crept up on her.

Yukari sat down next to John and took another sip of her coco. She seemed to really be enjoying herself, which was shown by the smile on her face. There was something she wanted to talk about, but it could wait til later. She was about to say something when she suddenly through her head back, only to then sneeze into a tissue she managed to gap in front of her just in time. "Excuse me, Someone must be talking about me."

The great Papyrus went straight to the kitchen and quickly got to work. He wasn't quite in a panic, but he was more nervous than he usually would have been. He pulled out several different things including chicken, beef, cheese and parmesan. He took out two pans, preparing a dish of parmesan chicken and some home made lasagna. Everything else already underway when he heard Hannah and his brother talking. "Oh Sans when did you get here? You must have smelled my coking and came running, nyehehe!" he said as he got back to work, remaining oblivious to what had gone on between them.

Frisk followed the boy over to the stand and looked at it curiously. *You can't read what it says... But you understood it anyway?* Frisk had observed the stand for a moment before finally speaking p and asking the one running it what was going on."Excuse me sir. Is this a go kart tournament?"
Nera noticed the smile of the girl and responded "Oh you are in for a ride, no matter how much time passes, a mother's love will always be there, even if you don't know about it" the Lucario spoke with a heartwarming smile "Whether you are old, young or even in process of creation." she eyed her partner and took a bite of her Oran berry.
The digimon understood what the canine was talking about, but let it trail off as she voiced her words "I suppose you came here with someone, isn't it Taki? I can gather another scent around you." Renamon had gotten many scents that were from varied origins, some were the usual types of mortals, while others felt ancient.

John could see that Yukari was going to say something, but as she was about to, she suddenly sneezed.
"Bless you.", John said to Yukari before taking a small sip of his coca and continuing, "You were saying?"

"Oh, I am fully aware.", Takoizu commented with a smile before listening to the two's banter. When asked who else she had been spending time with, Takoizu looked at Renamon in slight surprise, having a rather silly looking expression on her face before remembering that the duo had a rather uncanny "sixth sense" and speaking.
"Oh, right. I forgot you two are practically psychic.", Takoizu rather jokingly said.

Yukari stopped and thought about the question rather than answering right away. She thought about the consequences of asking this in her mind before finally deciding to ask what she had wanted. "So John." she said first to grab his attention. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like to start a family?"
When Yukari asked her question, it seemed almost as if John had not registered the question, but after half a second, a rather complex set of emotions seemed to spread across his face as he looked down at the small cup of coca in his hands, like confusion mixed with uncertainty, and not fear, but an emotion that seemed like apprehension. It was not entirely known how John felt about the question, and it seemed almost as if Yukari had asked him some extremely complicated question, like what the meaning of life was and that he was seriously thinking of an answer. John looked at Yukari with a rather thoughtful expression, but it seemed that his mind was still digesting her question.
"I...", John trailed before becoming silent for another moment. It looked like he wanted to say something to her, but that he couldn't find the words he wanted to say. In truth, it wasn't that he didn't want to have a child. He was open to the idea, but was he good enough to be a good father? John looked away for another moment as he struggled to find the right words to say, as he tried to process the emotions he currently felt. It felt so strange for him that he could not find anything to say, and he had never really even given being a parent much thought. If anything, John felt that he was not mentally and emotionally equipped for being a parent, but trying to convey such a thing to Yukari was difficult at best. After what felt like forever, John looked back at Yukari with a rather troubled expression, almost as if he was having trouble speaking, and in truth, he was. He wanted to be completely honest with her, but he felt like she would not like the answer.
"Yukari, I don't think... I'm open to the idea, but... *sigh*", John said, sighing before looking back down at the cup in his hands. This time, John slowly rotated the cup in his hands as he tried once again to speak, this time staring down at the cup. It was too difficult to say what was on his mind and try to look at Yukari at the same time.
"Yukari, it's not that I wouldn't like to someday, but.. am I really qualified for it?", John finally asked, this time looking at Yukari. He still looked quite troubled by the question, but he seemed slightly more stone-faced.

John's answer concerning, but not surprising. She ha expected such an answer from the spartan. Perhaps she should have held off on asking the question until he felt better. But Yukari wasn't about to awkwardly drop the subject. Instead... She placed her coco down beside her and got up, stepping behind John only to softly hug his neck from behind.
"Are you qualified? lets see... you're a strong man, with great leadership skills and a kind heart. you have a strong desire to help others and always put other people before yourself. and although you hide it, deep down I know there's a part of you bursting with love that wants to cheer for his loved ones when they sauced, cry for them when they hurt, and mourn them when they are gone..." she said all of this before placing a small kiss on the spartan's right cheek.
"There's no need to rush things. But when the time comes, I know you'll make an excellent father."
John was actually surprised by Yukari's words, how despite his rather uncertain answer, she was still willing to be supportive of his answer, though he didn't show his surprise. Instead, that rather troubled look seemed to melt away as a more calm one took its place. John may not have been the most emotional person on the planet, but even he was truly happy to have someone like Yukari.
"Thanks.", John softly said as he took his right hand and softly clasped one of the delicate arms wrapped around his neck, returning the affection he was being given in his own way. John was silent for a good few moments before speaking again. This time, he wanted to make Yukari smile, so he suggested something a little out of the ordinary.
"You know.. if you want, I might be able to find a way to swim so that we can enjoy the beach.", John said.

"It's not like we want to snoop around, it is in our nature to sense things and be able to do it unconsciously" Nera explained and her face showed she wasn't that comfortable with it. "You would think it gets easier with time, but nope, it gets worse, you just need to adapt to it and catch up on training with your abilities." The Lucario's ears moved unconsciously, proving the fact that her body was acting on itself to cover the area. "So yeah, it is a blessing and a curse" she chuckled.

When Frisk asked the woman running it, a hooded woman with a blank masked that seemed to have a rough smile carved into it leant forward. His outfit was dark, and instead of blue lines running across it in random patterns, his had red lines. She seemed to have white hair hanging out from behind her mask and out from her hood. If Frisk was observant she would have noticed similar looking people around the resort before helping out with various things. There was an odd aura about her that made the normally cheery Steven feel uneasy.
The woman spoke with a calm, and rather soothing voice however.
"This could be a Go-kart tournament. Who knows. Master Has all sorts of things planned. But in all seriousness this is a tournament of not just fighting, but also survival. Problem Solving, and much much more. It's going to be quite fun~ Though normally most normal children we won't let in unless they have something special about them to help them survive... You two can even sign up as one contestant and work for a shared prize though." She spoke. Her voice sounding calm, a little happy, and soothing. Almost as if it was a mother talking to her kids.
As Steven, and Frisk listened to the conversation... Steven heard mention of the prize. Curious, yet a little unsettled by the mysterious woman asked.
"Um... excuse me but what is this prize...?" Asked the human-gem kid.
The woman giggled quietly as she clapped her hands together. "The prize is a wish of course. A wish that will only be fulfilled and function here at this resort. Does that sound pleasing? You can have literally anything you want happen here at the resort... as long as it is within master's power. Also if you two do not wish to sign up as one contestant, and would rather sign up as individual contestants. Well... then you'll have to take part in the Junior Cup. Where the reward is a bit less.... awesome. But the challenges will be far more fair."
After explaining everything to the two, Steven seemed to think a bit as he turned to Frisk.
"So Frisk are you going to sign up or what?" Steven asked. The masked woman whose mask had nothing but a rough smile carved into it and nothing more just stood there waiting for a response.

As Sans and Hannah sat there on the couch waiting for Papyrus to get done cooking. Sans just spoke up for Papyrus to hear.
"of course paps. why wouldn't i come runnin? in fact i wouldnt get it 'pasta' ya to have the whole resort come running with your cooking." He complimented... and joked as he the chuckled. Glancing over at Hannah who turned away, blushed, and grumbled something angrily about Sans's 'stupid puns' under her breath.
