Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could soak up that precious vitamin D, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool.

All of the tables had at least a little glitter on them though. It was a welcoming gesture to get glitter someplace you didn't know glitter could go!

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Another laugh. "Okay! I'm pretty sure there are some left on that table over there," she pointed. She looked over at Alluka with a grin. "Want to race?"

Were they allowed to do that? Oh, but it sounded so fun that she was just going to hope they wouldn't get in trouble for it.

"Yes!" Alluka said eagerly. "Yes, let's race!"

"Okay." Ringo was grinning as she reached up to adjust the straps of her backpack, making sure it was secure. "On three?"

"One. Two. Three!"

And then she was off!

It was entirely possible that Ringo was taking this race more seriously than Alluka was, since Alluka burst into giggles and flung herself after Ringo.

She wasn't nearly as fast as Ringo, but that wasn't the point. The point was fun.

Ringo was rather athletic, but more than that, she didn't really do things by half measures, so she tore off across the grass at top speed, and ultimately skidded to a stop just in front of the table.

She spun to watch Alluka come up after her, panting and laughing at the same time.

Alluka caught up, still giggling, but now panting and feeling tired too. It wasn't like she was used to running around.

"You won!" she said, once she'd caught up. "But we're still going to share, right?"

It was hard to pant and laugh at the same time, but now Ringo was doing even more of it. "Of course!" She shot Alluka a grin. "The race was just for fun! And now it's time for strawberries!" Covered in chocolate!

She was going to be so wired up on sugar at this rate.

"Do you think we can take all the strawberries?" she asked in a whisper that was rather marred by how she was still trying to get her breath back.

Ringo studied the spread on the table, then giggled. "I think there might be a few too many for that to be a good idea," she whispered back in the same strained manner.

That only got more giggling out of Alluka.

"We could do more than one trip," she suggested.

Those giggles escalated to outright laughter. "But," Ringo objected, trying to catch her breath, "where would we be keeping them all?"

"In our tummies!"

That was the only place for them!

"I don't think," Ringo said, still laughing, "that I can eat my half of them..." Not without getting sick, anyway.

Oh. Oh, that was a problem.

She looked at her bunny, but her bunny wouldn't be able to eat them, so that was no help.

"I guess we can share with others," Alluka said, after a moment.

"Now there's a good idea!" Ringo agreed. "We can load up some big plates and go around offering them to people!"

It would also be a fun way to meet people!

Alluka... hadn't even thought of that! She'd just thought they'd leave them on the table!

"Yes!" She bounced. "And, and that way if we want one, we can have one and no one will know because of our big plates."

This was probably going to wind up with strawberries on the ground. But it was a good idea.

"Besides," Ringo said, trying to look very serious, "people will just think that it is fair payment for our delivery services."

Right? Right!

That sounded like--

"Now we have jobs?!"

She'd never had one of those before!

"Well, they're not exactly official," Ringo admitted. "But we decided to do it!"

"Or, well, we could decide to do it." Shouldn't rush into make decisions for Alluka, after all.

Why not? Everyone else made decisions for her. She was used to that, really.

"Are there reasons we shouldn't?" she asked, confused at the qualifier.

"I don't think so," Ringo answered. "But it means it's not... official?" So not quite the same thing as a regular job.

"I don't understand," she admitted.

This was terribly confusing.

Definitely, definitely sheltered.

Ringo chewed on her lip, trying to figure out how to explain it. "When someone else has a job for you, it's... official. They will pay you to do it. But if you decide to do the job yourself, it's... not official?" That was kind of right... She thought.

Alluka mulled over this carefully.

Then beamed.

"Then, if I give you strawberries, it will make your job official! And if you give me strawberries, it will make my job official!"

Ringo laughed. "Sure, why not?" That wasn't exactly how it went, but it wasn't a bad idea, really.
