Goku leapt from the nearest tree, dug his toes into the earth, and flopped back onto the grass.

“This is GREAT!”

“You said that last time,” Gojyo said, flopping beside him.

“I know…but, this is extra GREAT!”

“No matter how many times he sees the lush greenery,” Hakkai said, “his amazement is such that he sees it for the first time.”

Sanzo watched Goku and nodded. “He has a lot to catch up on.”

“Hey Sanzo!! Can we stay here just a little longer?”

“Sure,” Sanzo said. “A few more days will be fine.”

“You’re GREAT, Sanzo!! Thanks!!”

Sanzo smiled.

Gojyo's hair is red enough to win last week's challenge.  The Sanzo-ikkou take home 10 points.

Now I know that there has to be more writers in this community?  Are any of you still alive?  ^_~

This week's prompt is #21 - Green

This is the second of our color prompts.  Your task will be to take the color and weave it into your drabble in some way.

Hakkai's eyes, the leaves on a tree, the sides of the sutra, the jeep, envy.  Use it metaphorically, literally, philosophically.

There are a ton of uses and possibilities for the color green.  No matter which you choose, write it in just 100 words.
