Physical Education, 4th Period - 5/31

When class arrived, there were dozens of red rubber balls awaiting them in the gym. This could only signal one sort of event for the day.

"Glad you all could make it," Guy said with a lazy drawl. "Since today's Memorial Day and I'm sure you're all itchin' to get out of here, it's gonna be an easy day. just a simple game of dodgeball."

Simple-ish game.

"Last person left standing, gets a free pass for the rest of the semester. Incentive enough for you kids? Get to it before I change my mind."

"Oh..." Zack was now rubbing awkwardly at the back of his neck with one hand, looking down at the floor. "I've known a few of those."

A beat. And then a tentative glance upward.

"How do they honor them, here? Back home, there isn't really anything like this. But it sounds... good."

Behold, Zack's astounding grasp of the adjective.

"Some people go to the cemetery and leave flowers." Like he should for Ted. After class. "Most people get together with family and eat more than they needta."

"I see." Please, try to ignore the somewhat dejected puppy, here. "What do people do if they can't do either?"

Angeal didn't really have a grave. And Zack had run away from home.

"Or is any graveyard good enough?"

"As long as the thought's there, kid. I don't think they care if you go to the exact spot."
puppy_fair: (Hmmmm)

The smile that was toying on the edges of Zack's lips wasn't completely sincere, but maybe it would pass at a glance. He could hope, anyhow.

"Maybe I'll do that, then. With any luck, the flower shop will be open today even though it's a holiday."

And if not, he could swing by Fina and ask the dishes if he could steal one of their bouquets. Yes, instead of working his shift today. They'd understand.

"And get together with friends," Guy said idly. "Have a barbecue or somethin'."

Wow, Zack really wasn't made for this holiday. After that whole to-do with being a vampire, twice, he was pretty much exclusively a vegetarian.

But the getting together with friends part...

"That much, I think I can do." The smile just turned a shade more sincere. "I mean, I can hang out around a campfire any day, but... hey. Today, too."

"Add in some s'mores and I'm sure people'll join in."

Guy understood the nature of the teenager. Food trumps all.

... Yeah, Zack was pretty much convinced that Guy was the smartest teacher in the universe, now.

"I think I can toss together the ingredients easily enough," he replied. It was something short of a chirp, now. "Thanks!"

"Now get back to playin'."
