Hmm, I wonder... you'd think I'd know, I go there to dance so often. I just don't pay attention, do I?

[It's sort of embarrassing, how much she can't remember.]

The pools in Yomiuri Land might have one... I think they have a diving pool. I'm not sure how high the diving boards are, though. But we might be able to fix something up?

H- Hilariously enough I go there to do a few things and I haven't ever looked closely enough at the pools either. [ he'll join her in being embarrassed, but do his best to laugh it off. ]

Yeah?! Let's head there then. We can take my bike. And, ah!, maybe I can teach you to ride it, so it'll count for that too, if, of course, you're interested. But, sure, that sounds like a great idea. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff laying around, and we're creative enough to get the job done!

Ride a bike?

[Is this all right? Is she a bad enough dude to even be allowed to do something like this...?]

I... would like to try, actually. Does that sound odd?

[Is this really allowed? It feels illicit. Naughty, in a good sort of way.]

I suppose we'll need to head back anyway, so I can get my swimming things... I don't think I'm brave enough to do the, um, there's an objective... but I think I'd rather not.

[She blushes.

[Like, a lot.

[Really, skinny-dipping? In public? On camera...?]

mHm! and no, not at all. It's fun! and... if you learn to ride this, then you can always get something of your own that's a little less, ah, ... "crazy". [ he pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through his recent searches, bringing up an assortment of vespas for her to look at. ] Here, take a look. [ holds it out for her. ]

[ as soon as she eludes to the skinny dipping he almost drops his phone, his cheeks flaring with color as he thinks about getting naked in front of her and her getting naked in front of- OH GOD. he looks away. ]

N- No, we don't have to do that. I... I don't think I, ah, no.

So we definitely need to go back and get our things.

[Yes, let's do that and forget I ever brought this up. Please.]

Will all that fit on a bike, if you're having to take me too? I suppose we could always put them all in a backpack.

I think we'll be fine. We can pack a backpack and chance into our suits at the dorms and just, like, throw on a shirt over them or something. [ going to start heading in the direction of the dorms and, yep, going to pretend she NEVER SAID THAT EVER. ]

[She's going to hurry through getting back and getting changed. Let's... put this behind us as fast as we can...

[She's going to be wearing the one piece, she thinks.]

Yugi-kun, are you ready...?

[She's got a backpack! Snacks have been packed!

[This is an entirely normal expedition and I have not made things weird at all!]

[ he hurries inside to get changed too and... he'll just go with a simple pair of swim trunks, since anything more complicated is just going to be more of a hassle, because re: wings. ]

I'm ready! [ he also made sure to pack a small pack for their little adventure with probably some similar stuff. he also comes out with a helmet for her and passes off the keys. ]

And time to learn how to ride a bike! [ as they head back down he'll explain everything. ]

[It's interesting!! also, a little scary. Don't bikes go really fast?]

Do you really think I could do that, Yugi-kun? Wouldn't I be too... to clumsy, or something?

[Actually getting to see the bike doesn't make her feel any less unsure of herself! It looks intimidating, like it's expecting someone cooler to be by its side and is disappointed that it's only Wednesday.]

I do, and I'll be here too spot you the entire way.

I think you'll do fine, Wednesday. [ and she'll feel a rush of confidence coming from yugi, because he believes in her ability to do so. ]

[It helps, actually.

[She might not have been able to quite nerve herself up to get on the bike if she'd been here by herself. She doesn't want to let Yugi down, though, and if he thinks she can do it - well, then she owes it to him to at least try, doesn't she? So - deep breath - she swings one leg over the saddle, and cautiously sits down.]

Okay...

[She rests her hands on the handlebars, and looks down.]

So, um... should I... start it?

[How does she do that?]

Yep. [ and he'll explain just what she needs to do that. as soon as the bike starts up he'll talk about accelerating and breaking and how she'll be steering the bike. also weight distribution on turns! ]

And there's no need to go too fast to start. Like I said, we can take it easy.

[It's - actually kind of fun?

[She's not sure she's very good at it, but maybe if it was a bit more... stable at lower speeds? it would be more straightforwardly exhilarating and slightly less immediately anxious-making.

[She nods, swinging herself back off the seat.]

I think I would like to try again later, if you don't mind. Maybe I should get a bike myself? Or - what are they, scooters?

Of course! and, yeah, I definitely think you should check out the Vespas. Not only are they cute, like, ah, l- like you, but they're much more stable and easier to learn. We can shop around after the game if you like.

Thank you.

[She colors, ducking her head.]

I - will take a look, actually. It'd be... nice, to have my own way to get around.

[She steps away from the bike. Hesitates.]

Oh. Should we get going?
