★4th Star☆ [Video]
[It had taken her some time, a little heavy lifting and an awful lot of reading up on taking care of fish and sea life in the library, but it's finished. Room twelve in community building three now has a fully functioning fish tank! There's a hanging filter happily bubbling away into the water of the pretty bare looking tank. Fuuko had wanted to go down to the beach and find a few shells and what not but it's really cold, so for now the tank only has some gravel along the bottom and a rock or two in it.
As the journal comes into focus it's possible to notice something in the tank past the gravel and rocks. In fact if you can't notice it you must need your eyesight checked as Fuuko currently has the journal pushed right up against the glass of the tank.
The most adorable of adorable starfish is inside, laying on top of one of the rocks. Yes, a real live starfish. Fuuko couldn't believe it either. A real live starfish! It needs repeating, okay, it's a real a starfish. REAL. Many a trance came and went when she first unwrapped the jar containing the little guy.
Having kept the journal on for a minute or so in silence whilst she shows off her new pet, Fuuko speaks up.]
Fuuko cannot thank whoever gave Fuuko such a gift this Christmas time enough! Had Fuuko been able to find a tank and supplies sooner then rest assured, Fuuko would have thanked whoever-you-are long ago!
[Turning the journal towards her face which has a giant smile plastered all over it, because hey, guess what guys, it's a real starfish. And it's her pet! Aaah!]
Fuuko has even decided to keep the jar that-- Oh, Fuuko still needs to think of a name... But Fuuko is keeping the jar he came in as a memento of this wonderful present even in his nameless state! [Giving the journal a wave she starts closing the journal-- But wait, ooone more thing.] Fuuko almost forgot to mention the Starfish Festival seeing as all Fuuko can think of right now is this cute little guy. It'll probably be in April sometime, though there's no definite date yet. Just letting you all know!

They do! Fuuko can't wait until the summer when we can all go on a beach trip together and stare lovingly at the starfish. [The starfish just ran a lap around the tank. It's so fast that it didn't even seem to move at all the entire time!] Looking for and finding starfish is a lot of fun. Think of it like a scavenger hunt, only you're finding starfish!
[ action ]
Starfish would be pretty hard to find.. since maybe they would hide in the water, or try to pretend to look like something else, like.. [ oh, wait, this one is hard, what would a starfish look like? ] ... um, a banana peel, maybe?
[ action ]
Some starfish can camouflage themselves and change colour to match their surroundings, like chameleons! Plus they can fit into tight spaces-- [wait what a banana peel? uhm] ...That might be possible, though Fuuko has yet to meet a bright yellow starfish which has tried to look like a banana peel.
[ action ]
Well, you probably wouldn't be able to meet one, since they're so good at hiding.. [ EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT BANANA PEELS IS A LIE. ] But really, they can camouflage themselves? I didn't know that at all.
[ action ]
But you would think that spotting a banana peel wouldn't be that difficult. Like Fuuko said, it would be bright yellow. Unless it was a mouldy banana peel. [GASP NO IT CAN'T BE.] Fuuko didn't know either until visiting the library and reading more about the starfish. They're much more wonderful than Fuuko could ever have thought.
