Pinkie's Day Off [Hollis]

[Leona Liore]

A day off. For a lower ranking officer like herself, those sorts of reprieves from duty were few and far between.

In fact, it had been such a long stretch of time since her last day off, Leona barely knew what to do with herself. Should she spend her time training to become stronger? It would certainly help her out in the long run but...that didn't seem like the sort of activity one should engage in on a day off. People usually had fun on their day off! But...what was there to do in Loguetown? Realistically, there wasn't all that much to do. There were no unexplored areas, few bad guys decided to cause an incident in a town with a prominent marine base stationed there, and most importantly, there was no amusement park! Utterly ridiculous!

But, Leona would be fine. She was sure that she could find something fun to do if she just took a walk outside! With that thought in mind, Leona soon found herself wandering around Loguetown's numerous shopping districts.

Today, Leona had decided to dress rather simply. She wore a white and blue striped t-shirt with a large yellow cat in the center of it alongside a pair of dark blue jeans. On her head sat her usual pair of headphones while on her feet she wore a nice pair of blue sandals. If this was her day off, she may as well have dressed as casually as possible, right?

The pink haired girl wasn't exactly looking for anything in particular. It was nice enough to just wander around and see what was on the market nowadays. In some windows the girl could spy some fancy looking dresses, in others, vibrant jewelry, and in some, there were even racks of meat hanging up to entice some hungry customers. And yet, there was nothing that particularly grabbed her interest. They were all certainly nice, but they didn't have that sort of flair that would attract her attention. They were all just missing a certain something...

It was then that she rounded a corner. Instantly, he attention was grabbed. There, hanging in one of the shop windows was a large sign proclaiming that flavored lollipops were being sold for half off. The pink haired girl hungrily licked her lips.

Who could resist candy and a sale?

Leona purposefully marched into the candy shop, heading directly for the lollipop section of the store. A few other people were milling about, but they failed to capture Leona's current interest. In fact, the only thing that had managed to catch her interest was a large, over-sized lollipop resting all by itself on one of the shelves. After a day of selling candy at half off, that was sure to be the last jumbo lollipop that they had in stock. Leona had to have it. Her day could not be complete without tasting its sweetness!

As she approached, she stretched her hand out to grab it, only to have her hand bump into another one seeking the same delicious treat. "Eh?" the girl sounded, raising an eyebrow at the incident. The girl's eyes instantly shot over to the person next to her.

Just who was it that was challenging her quest for the jumbo lollipop?!
