Following her wake-up call from Doll, Asuka is trying to clean up her act by cleaning up her house.  The journey to become a fully-functional adult will be long and agonizing but, with the help of her friends, Asuka is confident she will ascend to a higher state...But how high can she really climb when the heavens themselves are about to rain down on her and her unprepared house?  This is the moment Asuka, Doll and Destiny itself have been waiting for...

PKMN Skies: Child Walks the Path of Adulthood: Lesson 3: Turn and Face the Rain: Time May Change Thee, But You Can't Trace Time

I was hoping to get this in on time for the April Showers event, but I COULD NOT get myself to write this story all month until at the very end.  I hope it can squeak in there, but it still ties in with Asuka's "Growing Up" storyline either way.

But yeah, this is a big moment, the first environmental disaster event to come Asuka's way since she vowed to fix her house.  I always planned for Asuka to fix her house up since I started this arc and I didn't want it to take too long so that she and her oath wouldn't lose credibility, but the April Showers event couldn't have come up at a better time, whether it's accepted for said event or not.

The original plan for this story was to make it a RP with ExoToxicImpulse-RP as a follow-up to Asuka and Stream's date, but Stream is currently undergoing some life-changing events in an RP I'm not party to and I was afraid that we might not get a second RP done in time for April Showers, so I opted to write a story featuring Asuka and her friends instead.  Of course, there's plenty of references to Stream and his current disposition here, because Exo and I are planning to do another RP somewhere down the line; with Asuka no longer worrying about a time limit or HUGE CHORE she should be doing, we'll be able to focus more on Stream's storyline this time around.

I don't know for sure if this arc is really finished yet, but I want to take this time to thank everyone who's been following Asuka's adventure and ESPECIALLY everyone who's been helping out with it.  I couldn't have done this story without my fellow Springleaf Citizens and there'd be no point in doing it without my awesome Watchers to read the stories.  Thank you all!
