As Jokel and the other kids swam around, Mikou The Artic Fox sat on the edge of the pool made by Zallino. He watched the kids splash each other with water before one of them misfired, splashing him in the face. Mikou remained unphased and silently sighed while Lulu apologised for splashing him. Mikou dismissively waved at her before he glanced at the giggling Rosa The Kijin. Anthurium layed sprawled out in the pool while Iris sunbathed on Anthurium's belly. Iris gazed at the sky and followed the cyan blur blitzing around above.

"I wish I could fight like that," Iris remarked.

"Shame you're only eleven inches tall, Iris," Anthurium remarked as she adjusted her sunglasses. Iris disappointedly huffed and muttered about wishing Anthurium wouldn't bring up her height all the time. Mimi sighed as Vivo (in crow form) fluttered down from above and placed Xelphia (in her small full spider form) on Mimi's lap.

"Is my turn over now?" Mimi groaned.

"It won't be with that attitude," Vivo stated. Mimi lightly bonked her head before groaning as Xelphia transformed into her kid-sized arachne form with two fuzzy pink fur human legs. Xelphia triumpently raised her arms before slowly leaning forward and belly-flopping into the pool with a loud splash.

"Thou knows I never said thou couldn't enter the pool," Zallino remarked as he walked along the path of footprints encircling the pool and area Maru, Sophia, and the kunoichi were fighting in. Mimi facepalmed before she slinked forward and slithered into the pool. Vivo transformed into his humanoid form and disappointedly shook his head as he watched Mimi intentionally sink to the bottom of the pool.

"I wished you'd live up to your title of determination...," Vivo uttered, "Although being determined to be a pain is certainly within your personality.".
