iris, ivy, and orange blossom

Juleka looks out the window as her phone buzzes in her hand. The rain is coming down in torrents— sheets of gray that make the entire city look like it’s in mourning. She chews on her bottom lip as she eyes the heavy clouds. In the background, the weather report plays on TV. Rain all day, with a very low chance of it stopping. Somehow, when coming up with all their contingency plans for akumas, no one thought to have one for bad weather. For some reason, it never crossed anyone’s mind. Not even last night when they were finalizing all their plans when someone really should’ve just opened a weather app.    Rose planned a class picnic, but when a rainstorm ruins her plans, Juleka steps up to make things better.
