Festivus in July, Fandom High front lawn, Friday afternoon

Sometime during morning workshops, when no one was paying nearly enough attention except those concerned, the Fandom High schoolgrounds had filled with snow.

For the record, "those concerned" meant Rory Gilmore and several dozen snow cone distributors from the mainland. But who wants to ruin the illusion? Students who were curious might assume that it was simply a Festivus in July miracle, or some such.

In the middle of the lawn stood a bare, aluminum pole. Festivus tradition, you know.

[Yes, the schoolgrounds have snow. I'm weathermodding and saying it's cool enough today through this evening for it to stick, and it'll melt overnight. And yes, we're having Festivus in July. For those not in the know, here is a handy Wiki link! Please wait for OCD. Up, yay!]

"I'm good at hiding if she does try," John tells her. "How have you been? Getting into mischief?"

Molly smiled broadly. "As a matter of fact, I have," she said.

"Really?" John waggles his eyebrows at her. "Care to elaborate? You know how I love getting into trouble."

"Can't say," she said, still grinning. "It's a secret."

"Oooh," John says and whistles. "Must be some good mischief. Not gonna have to change your name to protect yourself right? Ernestine Hayes doesn't sound as good as Molly."

Molly blinked. "I hope not. I like my name. If an avenging mob comes after me, could I hide out in your fort?"

"I like your name too," John grins. "And yes. My hut is thy hut. It doesn't have defense systems yet but I bet Bridge could rig something up."

"Oh! That would be cool," Molly said. "Do you think everything he came up with would dispense candy? That really would make it the best fort ever."

"Ooooh. I need a sofa," John says. "Maybe he could make one that would make candy came out when you sat down?"

Molly laughed. "What kind of candy would you want to come out of your sofa? Oh! It could be bigger than the stuff that comes out of the other things he's made since a sofa is so much bigger."

"Full size candy bars?" John suggests. "Milky Way and Twix and Snickers fresh from the...sofa?"

"Oh! That would work, yeah. Best sofa ever."

"Sweet!" John turns around in his hut and motions towards one wall. "It'll go right there and then I'll see if I can find the world's longest extension cord and run a television in here too!"

"Oh! Yes! Can't have the best fort ever without a TV," Molly said, nodding. "You'll need a mini fridge too. And a microwave. Bridge can fix those up too. The fridge can dispense soda and the microwave can give you pizza rolls."

"Yes!" John nods cheerfully. "You wanna be co caretaker?"

"Sure!" Molly said enthusiastically. "That would be awesome."

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Sweet!" John grins hugely. "We can add things as the hut grows and it will be the most awesome hut in the land."

Re: Non-Festivus things

[identity profile] bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com 2006-07-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Molly nodded. "And everyone will be jealous that they don't have a fort - hut - as awesome as ours."

[[Yay home!]]

"Once we get the defense system up, we can probably call it a fort," John says thoughtfully. "Because then it'll be fortified!"

Molly grinned and then looked thoughtful. "If we have Bridge make our defense system, does that mean it would shoot candy?"

"...that would be awesome!" John nods again. "Messy candy!"

"Oh! Yeah! Like what though?"

"Ice cream?" John suggests.

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Perfect!" Molly said. "It can even shoot ice cream cones, the pointy kind, so that it'll fly better."

"You have a mind for this sort of thing, Molly," John says gleefully.
