Satoko grinned at her. She would have hugged Shion, but... Well... She was sticky with sweat.
"Good, becaues you need to work on that wall over there. Cut the wood, and then nail it on. When you get it 3 feet high stop."

Satoko waited to see if Shion had any questions before she got back to work herself.
 
"Hmmm... okay," said Shion. "Be done in a second!"

She rushed over to the wall, and looked at it and the pile of wood for a few seconds.

I'm going to screw this up, aren't I? she thought nervously. No, don't think that Shion! You have to do it for Satoko! She's counting on you! You have to do this!

She cracked her fingers and got to work on the wall, working as hard as she could to get it done properly.
 
Satoko worked slowly but steadily as not to tire herself out. Finally she managed to finish one wall. She was starting to tire, and took a break under the guise of inspecting Shion's work.
"How are you doing Shii-shii?"
 
Shion wiped the sweat off of her forehead as she surveryed her work.

"I did... okay... I think," she said. "Whew, tough work. I think I got the hang of nailing things, at least. Much easier than cutting things."
 
Jak returns!

Satoko looked closely at her work.
"Your almost done this wall! Keep it up and we might be able to finish everything except the roof tonight!"
 
"Whew, that's good to know," said Shion as she went back to work.

I'm sure it'll be quite the sight, she thought to herself. I can't wait.
 
Satoko slapped Shion on the back and went back to work.
This is fun... I hope we finish most of it tonight....

She didn't pay any attention to Shion as she continued to work on her second wall. She made sure that she set up the boards that would be used to create the towers. They would go in next, before the roof was put up.
 
Shion nailed the last board in before collapsing on her back with her arms outstretched.

"S-Satoko...." she whispered. "What do I--- what do I have to do next?"
 
Satoko looked at the fort with pride. It was comming together. The walls were up and all that was needed now was the towers and the roof.

"I think that will be all for today Shii-Shii. Tomorrow we can finish it up. Let's go take a bath"
 
"That'd be a good idea," said Shion, still on the ground. "I don't think I've ever worked this hard before."

She managed to pull herself off the ground, and started to head back.

"So tired," she said, as she put her hand over her mouth, yawning.
 
Satoko grinned.
"I'll go get Rika, you get the bath ready."

She headed off in the direction of the shed.
"Oh by the way Shii-shii..."
When she turned back she could no longer see or hear Shion.

I hope that she remembers that I reset the trap at the back door. Oh well, too late now...

Satoko continued on toward the Shed.
 
"Alright," said Shion, as she shuffled back.

Evenetually she got back and went in through the backdoor again--- when the bucket landed on her head again.

"GODDAMNIT!!"

She tored the bucket off her head again in rage, before calming down.

Relax, Shion, its just Satoko's trap, she reminded herself. You should've have expected this, to be honest. At least you're cool now, right?

She dragged herself upstairs, and started the bath, making sure it was just right for later.

Ahhhh... it'll be nice to relax.
 
I shouldn't have slacked off so much, Rika thought as she sweated buckets. I can't disappoint anyone at the festival. They always look forward to my dance.

She collapsed to the ground, the mochii hammer clattering noisily beside her. Rika struggled to her feet and picked up the hammer once more.

Satoko ran to try to catch Rika but didn't make it in time. She stood their looking down at Rika.
"What, am I surrounded by weaklings? That's exactly what Shion said!"
 
"Sorry, Satoko," Rika said trying to get to her feet. "I know everyone's counting on me. I just went a little too far today..."
 
"Mii. Thank you, that sounds really nice," Rika said as she was finally able to stand, with help from Satoko. "I might need you to wash my hair for me though..."
