Summer Shenanigans- Wednesday, August 11

[solo_sword]

Oh hey, Anakin and Beaker weren't here today! Instead there was a short brunette with a megaphone. She didn't need it, she just liked it.

"Welcome to today's Shenanigans. Grandfather's not here. I'm Jaina and I'm going to be your drill instructor today," she announced. "Today you're going to be doing a mud run. You will get dirty, you won't like it, and I won't care."

Jaina hadn't realized it was Truth Day, that was just how she talked to people.

"We have five obstacles for you to get through to make it to the end, where you will win absolutely nothing. Maybe my grudging respect. No teams today, it's every being for themselves. And I don't know hardly anyone's names so whoever I point to has to come down here and participate, and I know who I'm pointing to so don't think you're getting away with anything."

"Mine were kind of adorable and I think about them all the time," Annie shared, and you know what, maybe better to get that out here with a gal pal than with her boyfriend, their theoretical father, 'cause yikes. "We had twins that showed up for a weekend. A boy and a girl."

"I had twins too--both boys," Wanda said with a sad little smile. "I'm a twin myself, too. Seems to be popular."

"I'm sorry," Annie said, with utter sincerity -- she didn't have a choice today, after all. "For whatever happened."

She fidgeted a little shyly before adding, "I want to offer you a hug, but I don't know you that well so it's cool if you don't want one." And then she just kind of held her hands out helplessly, like, what the hell, island? because normally she was a lot smoother about this kind of thing.

"No, I definitely want a hug," Wanda said before going in for one. "I'm used to hugging people with super strength, don't worry."

"Psh, and I've got nothing on Steve," Annie said in an honest assessment of herself. She was kind of developing a habit of offering hugs on days like this. The luggage day had been rough, too. "Or like, the literal god of thunder."

"I'll tell Thor to hug you if he ever visits," Wanda said before pulling away. "Thank you. I really needed that."

Both the hug, and finally getting stuff off her chest that she had been holding in for months.

"Any time," Annie assured her. Both the hug and the talk. "Seriously. And dude, I would love a Thor hug. I kind of want Thor's autograph, honestly."

What? He was like a celebrity to her, too. Some things transcended universes. Like deities.

"I think he'd be more than happy to help with that," Wanda said with a laugh. "Autographs, selfies, he's very familiar with all of it."
