Summer Camp Wednesday [The Docks], Wednesday, May 16, 2018, mid-morning
Anakin stood on the edge of the docks, a dozen rowboats bobbing the water around him. The clouds above were looking threatening (and kind of...not gray, which was odd), but so far the day had been dry. There was a set of bleachers (with canopies above them) set up for any spectators to cheer from, and the ambitious vendors from Mooby's were selling burgers and fries.
"Welcome to our first day of summer camp activities," Anakin yelled through the megaphone he'd acquired from...somewhere. "Our first community building activity will be a teachers versus students rowing race from here to the Isle of Ikea. The winning team receives a Big Mouth Billy Bass because I don't want it in my house any more, and all the Swedish meatballs they can eat. The losers get sore arms and the pleasure of not owning a singing fish award. In the event of a rowboat flipping, our PE instructor Steve Rogers will be out on a jet ski for rescue missions."
He looked at all the contestants. "I'll know if you're capsizing on purpose. Also, he's not that good looking. Contestants, please put on your life preservers while I call out the teams. For the students: Sabine and Beaker, Astrid and Jason, Rufus and Aloy, Theron and Tip, Norman and Khadgar, Peebee and Bobby, and Jaylah and Peridot. For the teachers: Amaya and Tony, Kanan and Magnus, Reno and Jenkins, Cara and Deadpool, and Liam and Zoe. Racers, man--or woman, or other--your ships."
Once everyone was in place, Anakin raised his hand. "On your marks, get set...go!"
...And that was when it started pouring rainbow colored-rain.

Until he looked around and saw the competition.

He was going to just buy himself a Coke and sip that while quietly fretting.

And...any other strengths and weaknesses she saw, too. It was always good to be prepared, right?

So, with swimming and rowing out of the question, he did the next best thing, which was also pretty great, in his book. Cheering everyone on! And while he certainly had his favorites, he would do his best not to let them show too much.

These were things you learned to do as a scavenger.

And so she was there, helping herself to a little food before everything started, nibbling a bit due to nerves. And even if the sky was pretty overcast, she was still wearing her sunglasses. She was exhausted from trying to not react to things, and she figured they might provide a little extra coverage for her today.

"So," he said, a little uncertainly. "There's this story about a tortoise and a hare..."
Because really, he couldn't imagine managing anything but slow and steady. Trying to keep up with some of these people would probably kill him.

"I think we could stand a pretty good chance," she said. "I never skip arm day!"
Plus the whole blacksmith arms thing. Those biceps weren't kidding around.

He wasn't going to let that stop him from trying to win. Rufus was Googling how to row properly as he waited for Aloy to find him.
What? He wasn't going to go look for his partner. Don't be absurd.
