Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 26, 202

[sith_happened]

There was an ice skating rink set up in the center of the park, which would be nice of a day like today if center ice hadn't been ominously filled with plastic ball pit balls. There were four laundry baskets spread out equally around the circle of balls, four scooters--red, yellow, blue, and green--next to the baskets, and most disturbingly of all...four hippo costumes.

Anakin, what have you wrought?

"We're playing Hungry Hungry Hippos," Anakin announced through the unnecessary megaphone. "And by we I mean you. Listen for your names!"

"You only need to wear the costume while you're retrieving the balls!" Anakin announced like that made it better. He pointed to the boring red, blue, green, and yellow t-shirts next to him. "Just wear the t-shirts for everything else."

Which was exactly why Steph was willing to put in the extra effort to make hugs happen even if she thought Vi should take it easy.

"I was hoping you wouldn't be able to, yeah."

Look, it had never been productive in the past, why would it start now?

Vi leaned in to kiss her temple. "Love you."

It wasn't Vi's fault those muscles were so distracting.

Steph wrapped an arm around her waist for a quick squeeze. "Love you too. You looking goofy as hell in that hippo outfit --" she said as if she wouldn't look just as goofy -- "isn't going to change that."

Look, that was nobody's fault. Choosing to put themselves in a position to be distracted by them, on the other hand...
