[What no, those old animal instincts--]

it tasted normal! actually pretty good. i just didn't think it was supposed to be red inside

it kinda tasted like tomatoes

[starshower]

Next question. Were they right next to the tomatoes?

[oathkeeper]

yeah! they were planted right next to each other!

[starshower]

Oh! [Oh my gosh.] Sora, you don't think we've made a discovery, do you?

[oathkeeper]

what do you mean? because they were next to each other?

[starshower]

You think the cucumbers might have absorbed some of the tomato? I know it sounds crazy, but it's entirely possible here, don't you think?

[oathkeeper]

you think the cucumbers absorbed the tomatoes and fused to become some sort of mix between cucumber and tomatoes?!?!?

whoaa?!?!?! you might be right tifa?! that's actually awesome can you imagine these things sliced and put into sandwiches?!

[starshower]

I think that might be exactly what happened! I'd be curious to see what the garden looked like when you went to pick them!

[Did the cucumbers literally absorb the tomatoes!? Or was it something more magical than that?]

I could imagine them. But consider this! Other combinations, too. If this is really what happened then I think we've come across something pretty incredible, yeah!?

[oathkeeper]

you should come check it out the next time you're around! there's still some plants left ready to go!

yeah yeah yeah! if it can happen once it could happen again, right? what if we plant other stuff together? what do you think? strawberries and watermelon or something?!

[starshower]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I wonder what a strawmelon would look like? You think it'd be strawberry shaped melons, or melon-sized strawberries?

[oathkeeper]

i'm hoping they're melon-sized strawberries, that would be so good? i'd eat a whole one to myself!

what about cabbages and eggplant?

[Okay that's weird...]

[starshower]

Cabbages and eggplant? What would that even taste like?

[what does eggplant taste like mich idk]

[oathkeeper]

[you've never had eggplant before????]

uh probably something like a zucchini wrapped up in lettuce...??

[starshower]

[LOLNO this is me you're talking to]

Hmmm, lettuce wraps without the wrap.

[They might be onto something bigger here!]

Hey, you think we could try experimenting with a few more different combinations? Could try adding a third and see what we get.

[oathkeeper]

or some really killer salads!

and yeah i think that's an awesome idea! i know the tomato and cucumbers were planted pretty close together so somehow they merged up. if we plant some random seeds in the same bed maybe that will work too?

[But the bigger question is- does this take dream magic? More than likely yes.]

[starshower]

I don't think they should be completely random. Not so sure how I'd feel about an onion fusing with a raspberry.

[Tifa makes a face as she writes that...]

Let's start off with something simple first. Like melons and strawberries and go from there. We don't even know yet how it worked! Wonder if there are any green thumbs around here we could ask.

[oathkeeper]

onion raspberries sounds really gross... yeah. weirder yet what would happen with a spicy pepper and a raspberry? spicy raspberries?

but yeah! i could ask around! mister mikotaba knows a lot of stuff and he's always in the greenhouse?

[starshower]

I'm getting sick to my stomach just thinking about those...

[YUCK, SORA????]

Mister Mikotoba? Is he by any chance related to Susato?

[oathkeeper]

yeah i don't wanna eat something like an onion berry either hahaha

and yeah! i think it's her dad?

[starshower]

Oh, I had no idea.

Probably for the best we ask him for his advice though. I may be learning but I'm still not as experienced as I could be, especially when it comes to growing things besides flowers. And tomatoes. Make sure to let me know what you find out!

[oathkeeper]

i will, tifa!

i used to grow a bunch of tomatoes in the last world I was in. and stuff like cucumbers and herbs and stuff too. but yeah i'm still learning a lot. i wonder what we can get by the time Fall rolls around?

[starshower]

Well, unlike last year, we might have time to try our hands at pumpkins this fall. I've always wanted to try those. Maybe we can manage the biggest one in Reverein.

[Siphon some dreamotion into it or something!]

[oathkeeper]

that's a pretty big order, if you know what I mean, tifa! growing the biggest pumpkin around? sounds like a big challenge!

[Obviously that means he wants to do it!]

[starshower]

What, you don't think we could do it?

[oathkeeper]

i don't know, how do you grow the biggest pumpkin ever???
