Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

Unlike the last two classes, today the Danger Shop was set outdoors. Oz leant against a start line, and a trail was marked leading along a field and into a copse of trees, presumably it looped back at some point, since there was a finish line not too far away from the start.

"Today we're looking at teamwork," Oz said. Which should have been the first warning to anyone who knew how Oz liked to build team spirit. "Using one of the first methods that kids in these parts are likely to come across. The three legged race. For those of you who haven't run a three-legged race before, basically you run side by side in pairs, with your middle legs tied together, leading to the term three-legged, though thanks to numbers there'll be one four-legged team today, but don't worry I've figured all that out for you."

"Now one thing we'll be doing differently to normal is the track. Normally, these kinds of races are run on a fairly short, even track, but I feel you're up to something a bit more challenging." Here came that other shoe, ready to drop. "So our three-legged race is going to be cross-country."

Looking very self-satisfied today, Rebecca leaned against a tree while Oz explained the assignment.

Her smirk dampened slightly once she heard what the activity was, but she was in a good enough mood that she decided she could just be strong and endure.

Well, at least after radio this morning Rebecca was feeling slightly more favorable toward Rilla.

That did not exactly mean that she wanted to run three-legged and cross-country with her, but it could've ween worse. It could've been, say, that one weird-looking guy.

Oh, cool, Winter's other mom. Juliet was happy to be paired with Hanna, even if she was a little sketchy on the three-legged race concept.

Peter was available... sometimes, though. And looking a bit displeased about the whole 'matched up with an anarchist' thing.

Oh, great.

Britta Perry? Wasn't she the anarchist girl who thought that starting up a charity would be a way to 'stick it to the man'?

This was Peter, looking dubious.

Oh, oh! Rapunzel had a three-person team! That was probably an advantage, right? More people meant more good ideas for... um... running.

Or something.

She just knew they were going to win!

"These are not running shoes," Rilla groused, looking down at her boots.

Richie hadn't run a three-legged race since, well, actually he was pretty sure he'd never done this before.

"So, we tie ourselves up, hobble, and hope for the best?"

This did not seem like a useful life skill. A useful skill would be untying yourself from someone else. Or cutting the ties.

"Mine either," Rebecca said with a mournful look at her own inappropriate footwear. "Does this island even have anywhere to buy new ones?"

HER LIFE WAS SO HARD.

Rilla nodded. "There's one shop, but I generally people head to the mainland for big dances and so on."

Because talking about shopping was a lot like getting ready to run, Rilla.

"I guess I'll have to go there soon," Rebecca sighed with another sad look at her shoes. "Want to come with?" No point shopping alone, after all.
