“Hey wait up!” An excited cry carried over the bustling sounds of the fair. It was a new day and with it brought in new fairgoers from all over the world. Some seemed super dressed up for the occasion while others hardly warranted a glance. 

As the vayron that yelled out pushed his way through the crowd to his two friends he finally broke out right in front of them, “Man it sure is busy today!” The large male puller, named Cereos, let out a hardy chuckle in an attempt to mask his strained breathing from the fight to get to his companions. 

“I don’t know Cereos, it’s been busy everyday if you ask me.” Sono, the second male of the group spoke softly, it was clear he was not as extraverted as Cereos. 

“Can’t say I blame everyone, it seems like there are endless things to do here!” The last of a group, a female named Kumara, spoke up in a light hearted and excited tone, “Speaking of-” her sentence was cut short as she darted into the crowd of people, leaving the boys confused as they tried to fight their way after her. 

“Kumara where are you going?” Sono yelled out, though his soft voice did little against the sounds of the fair. 

“Kumara hold up!” Cereos belted out as he closed in on Sono, helping his smaller companion play catch up with Kumara. 

Suddenly the two broke through the crowd, appearing in front of a small fair stall, Kumara standing in front of it with a wagging bobtail, “Look!” She gestured at the entire stall, the crude drawings on the sign, the paint splattered around carelessly, and the “prieviews” of what the stall had to open. 

To Sono’s horror he backed up, “Face painting?” 

“Yeah! I think it’ll be really fun to do, just for today I promise!” Kumara smiled as she paid the stall keeper enough for all three to get master pieces applied to their faces. 

“Come on it’s the very beginning of the day, we’ll be in it all day if we do it now.” Sono said mopping at the idea of looking so unappealing. 

“Exactly.” Cereos but in, a broad smile filling his face, “Though I will say it will be hard to decide on what to get. There are so many options.” 

Kumara smiled at Cereos while the stall owner worked quickly on applying her paint, a lovely flower mixing in with her golden markings truly did look like a work of art. 

Cereos sat down next with a loud thud, “Surprise me, anything you think will look nice!” his voice was strong and deep, almost making the worker jump before he began applying the paint. 

“Come on Sono you have to pick something, it’s only for today I promise!” Kumara gently prodded her friend who looked less than convinced with her plans. 

“I just don’t really think face paint fits me, you know?” Sono stuttered out the only excuse he could think of but it was clear neither of his friends bought it. 

“Oh come on Sono, just let em do whatever then if you can’t choose. That’s what I’m choosing and look at me!” Cereos belted out, the face paint being applied looking much less than elegant when compared to Kumara’s. The deep red nose and whitened face almost giving Sono the chills. 

Sono grumbled knowing there was nothing he could say to get out of it. After wait a bit in silence for the painter to finish with Cereos Sono found himself in the customer seat ready to be painted, "I guess just do whatever?" He spoke in a questioning tone and for a second the stall artist seemed to get a devious face before he quickly began his work. 

Not even five minutes later Sono's paint was complete, "I'm so proud of you Sono, this will be so much fun!" Kumara spoke innocently to her friend, but Cereos was having a hard time keeping his composure for whatever reason.

Kumara, with her lovely flower, Cereos with his clown face, and Sono with a rather suspicious phallic shape on his face all took a deep breath before entering the fair.
