spaceEcho couldn't seem to get his heart to stop pounding as he set everything up. It was probably silly to feel so nervous, given that he and Tanya had been together for a whole year, but he was. Probably because they'd been together for a whole year. As in, this was their anniversary. A couple days late, technically, because of various schedule things, but, this was the date for their anniversary, anyway. He was just glad his mum had helped with the picnic, and doubly glad that she'd simply dropped him off as per his request and not decided to hover. Echo couldn't wait until his seventeenth birthday; being able to apparate himself would be a Godsend. Which, he had to wait almost until the end of next Summer to be able to do it, but that wasn't so bad, he supposed. And Tanya would be able to do it before he would, so he'd be relying on her for getting him places if they had plans together, rather than waiting on his mum or hers to have time to take them anywhere. Or, even worse, having to rely on his sister. Ugh. The pink-haired girl had been suspiciously absent for most of the Summer, and honestly, he didn't even want to contemplate what she and Jer were getting up to. His dad wasn't overly fond of thinking about it, either, but for an altogether different reason. Echo thought their dad was worrying over nothing, but then again, it wasn't like her complaints about Jer not letting her 'do anything fun' were making it to the man's ears.
spaceThe Ravenclaw brushed that thought aside with a shake of his head, looking over his little set up for what was probably the millionth time since he'd arrived. It wasn't like it was anything spectacular, just a typical picnic set up, blanket and basket and things, but he was still paranoid something would be wrong with it. He sighed, running a hand through his hair, hoping that Tanya arrived soon. Once she was here, he'd calm down... or, so he hoped. Actually, he probably wouldn't until they'd done the gift exchange bit; he was weirdly anxious about that, for some reason. It wasn't like this was the first time he'd given her a gift, but, it was the first time it'd been an anniversary gift, which made it seem like it held all sorts of weight such things didn't normally have. It had to top his Christmas gifts at the very least. Which, maybe he should've thought of something other than The Nightmare Before Christmas to base the gift on, given that it was basically his default when shopping for her. But, he couldn't help it if there was so much great TNBC stuff that he knew she'd love! And anyway, this gift was better than the others, right? The jewelry was a lot nicer than other pieces he'd given her in the past, and perfume was definitely something you got your girlfriend, not your friend. The pillow... he hadn't been able to resist. Which, maybe he should have, considering... she wouldn't think anything of it, though. It was a quote from the movie, after all, it wasn't like it was filled with some sort of subtext... Except it totally was, he thought with a faint sigh. He was pretty sure the jewelry box would distract from it, though. He was exceptionally pleased with the jewelry box. It'd been a bit expensive, but she was his girlfriend, after all, and what else did he even spend money on?

XXXXXⒽⓐⓛⓕⓑⓛⓞⓞⓓXXXXXＰｒｅ ｆｅｃｔXXXXX⒟⒜⒯⒤⒩⒢ Echo Lovette
All my friends, they’re different people
Anxious like the ocean in a storm
When we go out, yeah, we’re electric
Coursing through our bodies ’til we’re one
❁ ❀ ✿ March couldn't come fast enough for Tanya. In that month she would be seventeen and it would be legal for her to use magic in any which way she wanted without her mother asking her a million and one questions over something she already knew about and just wanted to see her daughter blush. What kind of sickness was that?! And she would have told her so had she not been lightly freaking out over the fact that she and Echo and been dating a whole year and that they were going on what was pretty much their first date ever. So excuse her for being a tad testy when all she wanted was a quick apparation to the park and not a talk about how she was "growing up so quickly" and all that madness. Finally, her mum came down from whatever high she was on and transported her to Finsbury Park where she only bade the woman a quick thanks and wave before running away...to get to her boyfriend who was waiting for her. She found him pretty easily since there wasn't a lot of people in the park today and didn't even attempt to stop the grin that overcame her face at what was spread before her. Logically, she knew it had to be some form of picnic date since he had asked her to go the the park but still, thinking it and seeing it were two completely different things and this was just ruddy adorable.
Without a second thought, Tanya gave her customary leaping hug to him clinging to him like a panda in a bamboo tree. "Ohmygosh Echo, this looks incredible! Oh, and um, happy anniversary!" she said with a slight laugh before pecking him on the mouth. Seeing that her vision was slightly skewed she untangled herself from her person to fix her glasses back onto her face as well as making sure everything else was alright. She hadn't known whether to dress up or dress casual for something like this, and then she remembered that besides being her boyfriend that he was also her best friend and had seen her on days when all she had done was thrown on a pair of holey jeans, a Wonderwoman tee, and just said "eff it" to her hair. So with that in mind she did dress up, she just did so casually; practically no makeup save for some lip gloss, she wore her favorite pair of glasses, and she was even wearing a beanie. She was also wearing a babydoll top that somehow Ada of all people talked her into getting but what could she do? Not look cute? Pah! When she was sure everything was in order she tried to not look like she was searching for her gift because this day wasn't about gifts it was about them...but still the gifts were rather nice. And she had worked hard on his! It wasn't something uber technological fancy thing but had great sound and when flipped they could turn into a speaker. The necklace was something she had been toying with for years actually. She had seen it in a shop about a year or so ago and bought it without really thinking with the intent on giving it to him for his birthday. But then when she saw something she hadn't noticed in the store; on the back of the charm that read "Socially Awkward" it also read "Awkwardly Adorable". She couldn't give him something personal like that! She usually stuck to gifts that were horror themed or gag gifted and more importantly she hadn't (at the time) seen her friend in a romantic light. So she kept it and wondered if there would ever be a time where she would be comfortable enough to give it to him, and if she wasn't comfortable after a year of dating she might as well just throw it in the Thames. "I hope you haven't been waiting long. Mum was acting a little barmy today, even more than usual." Tanya said with a roll of her eyes. Honestly, when she got home later she would be having a serious talk with that woman.
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger
Sleeping with a friend, sleeping with a friend

spaceEcho should've been prepared for the greeting, but he still very nearly fell over when Tanya tackled him. He was just about to complain when her lips landed on his, and he completely forgot about being annoyed with her. The Ravenclaw's arms encircled her as she adjusted her glasses, cheeks turning red. "Uh, I tried? I mean, it's just a picnic, but... I dunno, I figured it was a better date than asking you over for another movie night," he told her with a shrug. Then he smiled, pressing a light kiss to her lips. "But, happy anniversary," he said, and then he was releasing her to sit down. The Ravenclaw chuckled faintly at her admonishment of her mother's behavior, shaking his head. "That'd be both our mums, then. Mine's lost what few marbles she had left." He didn't mention that the woman had started asking all sorts of insane questions about his relationship with Tanya. Namely, about their plans after graduation. He didn't ruddy know what they were doing after graduation, after all. They had two more years of school. He had NEWTs! And besides... they had only been together a year, and they were only 16. It was a bit early to be asking her if she wanted to move in with him and get married or something like that. Hell, they hadn't even said the 'L' word yet. At least, not since they'd started dating. And all the 'I love you's before that had been entirely platonic. Friendly I love yous. If such a thing existed, anyway.
spaceThe brunette glanced up at her, noting that she'd gotten taller (again), and was wearing heels to boot. He wondered if she liked being taller than him, that she felt the need to add to her already impressive height. Not that he minded being shorter than his girlfriend, it was just... weird. He realized that Elsie and Tanya were both taller than him and Kas, and wondered what was up with their generation. Gypsy was taller than Jer, too. Though, the twins seemed to make up for it, given that Toby was significantly taller than his own sister. He brushed that aside, expression growing thoughtful. "So, uh, food first, or do you want your gift?" he asked, smiling at her. He figured she'd go for the present first, unless she was ravenously hungry. Which, he hoped she liked the sandwiches he'd brought, considering that his mum had gotten a little crazy. Technically, they weren't sandwiches, they were pita pockets. And Greek food could be... weird. But, he'd tried one, and it tasted alright. If nothing else, he also had a fruit salad and some cookies. And maybe if the pita was weird, he'd take her to a cafe down the road or something for a real meal.

XXXXXⒽⓐⓛⓕⓑⓛⓞⓞⓓXXXXXＰｒｅ ｆｅｃｔXXXXX⒟⒜⒯⒤⒩⒢ Echo Lovette
All my friends, they’re different people
Anxious like the ocean in a storm

❁ ❀ ✿Tanya laughed at Echo's blush finding it adorable that he still managed to get somewhat embarrassed around her. She then scoffed at his reply about his obvious dating skill as she took another look at the picnic. "First of all I quite happen to like our movie nights. How else are we going to binge watch our shows together? And secondly you don't give yourself enough credit, which you should considering you're way better at this dating thing than you think." she told him sly grin. And he was! She couldn't count the number of times she had been taken aback by just how romantic he could be. Not cheesy stuff like in those romantic comedies, but small things like sitting with her at her House table those few times, taking her out to the lake after her terrible first day in potions, those few surprise "detours" into some broom closets, he really amazed her. Which it shouldn't seeing as how he was the type of person that if they decided to do something then they were going to do it and be the best at it as well. A perfect example of that would be his OWL grades, which they shared a few days ago and to her non-surprise he managed to pass everything with flying colors. The examiners probably wept tears of joy when they sent out his results. She was taken from her thoughts by the feeling of his lips pressed against her own as long with her own salutation before he sat down and she plopped down to join him. Tanya laughed at his mention of his mother wondering what she had done (today) for him to say that. She knew Mrs. Lovette was rather eccentric, even more so than Gypsy and that said a lot, so it really could be anything. She was skilled in doing the unexpected. The Gryffindor couldn't help but notice the glances her boyfriend had given her height and while she wasn't self conscious about that (she had gone from the shortest in the group to one of the tallest, Disney really was telling the truth) that didn't stop her from feeling the tiniest bit bad about showing it off with the boots. "I didn't have any flats that went with this outfit and I looked weird wearing my flip flops so these were the only things left. It was a miracle I managed to walk over here and tackle you like I did. After all the years of me wearing heels with my uniform I think I've gotten worse at walking in them, how ridiculous is that!? Thank goodness I'm wearing a long dress at Mum's wedding so I can hide my shoes underneath it." she told him out of the clear blue looking down at her heels and clicking them together periodically. It wasn't like she was actually wearing flats at her mother's wedding, just very low heels that couldn't-and wouldn't-be seen. Part of her now wanted to take them off and just walk in her socks but she didn't feel like unlacing them after the tiring travesty it had been to lace them up in the first place. That and sticks hurt when you stepped on them in socks. Instead she just folded her legs underneath her and at Echo's question her eyes lit up and she began to bounce slightly in her seated position. "Is it terrible that I want to do gifts first? Probably, but I really don't care. Gifts please!" Tanya then pulled out a wrapping back from her satchel and presented it proudly to her boyfriend hoping he would love it.
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger

spaceEcho smirked at her, rolling his eyes. She as so overdramatic sometimes. "I never said I didn't like our movie nights," he pointed out. "I just meant, I figured... this is different, you know? Special. So, we shouldn't do the same thing we always do. Or, that's what I figured, anyway." He did blush again when she said he was better at dating than he thought he was, not really understanding what she meant. He didn't necessarily think he was bad at it, obviously. It was just... he was a naturally nervous guy. Anything even remotely important made him jittery, and this was pretty damn important, after all. She should probably be worried for the day he didn't get nervous about whether or not he was screwing up. Not that it'd ever come; he was fairly certain that if it were possible to grow out of it, he'd have done it by now. Then again, they had only been dating a year. Maybe eventually he would chill out... maybe.
spaceHe frowned when she started on about her heels, thinking that for someone who was supposedly good at this, he really knew how to screw up. The day they'd gotten together, he'd responded to her kissing him by implying that she wasn't thinking straight and was just overreacting to a few warm fuzzies she was feeling in response to his being there for her in her time of need, coupled with relief that her brother was okay. Now, on their bloody anniversary, he'd apparently made enough of a face at her height that she was feeling self-conscious. Brilliant. He shook his head at himself, thinking that one of these days, she was going to kill him, and be perfectly justified in doing so. "The shoes look good on you," he told her, thinking that was a bloody understatement but not really caring to go into how very, very nice her legs looked. "And, maybe you're only having trouble because of the grass? I imagine walking on the stone floors at the castle's probably a lot easier than that." Echo wouldn't know, he'd never worn heels, but it made sense that they'd be easier to walk in on a solid, hard surface. Honestly, he didn't know why girls wore heels to begin with when they complained about them so much. Gypsy was just about the only girl he knew who actually seemed to like them. And yet, every girl he knew wore them at least on occasion, which made absolutely no ruddy sense. He wouldn't deny appreciating the benefits though... Which, again, was not something he wanted to think about right now.
spaceHe almost rolled his eyes again at how predicable she was, reaching into the basket and taking out the small, wrapped box, handing it to her with a grin. He'd had his Mum charm the pillow so that it fit inside the jewelry box with the necklace and the perfume, and then wrapped them all together, figuring it was the easiest way to go about it. The Ravenclaw then took the gift she'd offered him, torn between waiting until she'd opened hers and just going ahead and opening it now. Figuring that hed gone second every other time they'd done a gift exchange and that made it his turn, he looked the package over. His eyes fell on the small card attached and very nearly bugged out of their sockets. He inhaled sharply, cheeks turning crimson, because... well, obviously. He wondered if her use of 'Love' on the package had been an outright declaration, or a force of habit that he was seriously, heavily overthinking. Probably the latter, he told himself, and then he was opening the actual gift to distract himself. He grinned widely when he saw what was in the package. He'd seen headphones like these, they were supposed to be really good. Also, zombies, which made him feel slightly better about his own running theme. The necklace brought a grin to his face, and he had to admit, she clearly knew him pretty damn well; he didn't like sweets, pretty much ever... except when it was chocolate covered-something. Especially strawberries. Not many people knew that... but of course she did. He glanced at her, feeling a bit choked up over the whole thing, and it hit him suddenly that, yeah, this was their anniversary. Because they'd been together for a whole bloody year. "... This is great," he told her, swallowing. "It's... you're... you're perfect, you know that?"

All my friends, they’re different people
Anxious like the ocean in a storm

Coursing through our bodies ’til we’re one
❁ ❀ ✿Tanya snorted as Echo explained his earlier words still finding his awkward fumbling and blushing adorable. It really must be infatuation if she could find the silly things he did the most kissable. She really needed to chill, they had only been dating a year. You didn't drop the "L-bomb" after just a year, even with their long history and past. Sure she usually wrote "I love you" on all her cards or letters and even might have said it jokingly a few times but that had been before. Now if she said it she would mean it (most definitely) and it could end in two very different scenarios: he could say it back and be gratified that she felt the same way and then they would embrace as fireworks lit up the sky and a Hallelujah chorus sung in the background. Or, he could not say it, say that it was entirely too soon to say something like that, get creeped out, dump her, and leave her to turn into Cathy Bates from Misery. The first one seemed unlikely while the second was just plain terrifying. She was so caught up in her horrid thoughts that she nearly missed his compliment about her shoes causing her to blush slightly at it. Ok, so maybe she had felt a tiny bit insecure about wearing the heels with her ever growing height. She was still proud of it but sometimes she couldn't help but see how much of a gap there was between her feet and the top of her head. Or the small slightly growing gap between the top of her head and the top of his. A chuckle escaped her as he rationalized that maybe the reason she couldn't walk well in them was because of the difference between grass and stone. No one could say that Echo wasn't a sweetheart, especially not her. So she did what every girlfriend did when their boyfriend was being especially sweet in the face of their insecurities and placed her hand inside of his and thread their fingers together before leaning over and pressing a kiss onto his cheek. "Thanks Echo. I'm pretty sure you're right, but I'd rather not conduct experimental trials." Tanya retorted squeezing their joined hands laughing lightly as she imagined herself wearing various high heels and walking a set distance on random rough and or smooth surfaces. She was pretty sure a trial like this had been done, and if it hadn't people like Gypsy and her Aunt Fifi should be anywhere near it. Those two were practically born with kitten heels attached to the soles of their feet and it wasn't ruddy fair! It took some people years of dedication to be able to walk upright and comfortably while in heels, and her godmother actually worked and sowed in them! If she wasn't so impressed she'd be the tiniest bit peeved. Ok, so she was a bit of both.
She only let go of his hand when his gift was handed o her causing her to beam at the wrapped box but kept herself from opening it so she could watch Echo's reaction to his own gift. It was a lot harder than she thought considering almost anything could be in that box but seeing how his whole face lit up she knew it had been worth it. Although she had to wonder why his face flamed up like Johnny Storm after reading her card. She had purposely bought a non-sexual slightly cheesy card for their anniversary so maybe was shocked and delighted? Boy emotions were confusing. Although at his declaration it did have her flush with embarrassed pride that he liked her gift so much, despite all her worrying. "I did but it's always nice to hear someone else say it. And I'm really really happy you like your gift." Tanya told him earnestly. And now, her turn! The Gryffindor turned to her present eagerly and gingerly unwrapped and nearly had an aneurysm over what was now sitting in her lap. A beautifully made jewelry box themed to her favorite love story, it was just too perfect. She opened it up to survey how much space was inside and hadn't been expecting more gifts. Good Merlin he had really gone all out! She first pulled out the themed perfume and laughed at how it smelled like a mix between Halloween and Christmas, if such a thing could occur. Next, she pulled out the wire pendant that had been made to look like the hill and she swore it was the most amazingly beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life. At least until she reached the final gift which was a small pillow with words sewn on the cover. It took her all of three seconds to figure out the significance of the lyrics and of the two nearly embracing figures and couldn't stop the tear from falling even if she wanted to. These gifts, the pillow especially, they were all so utterly perfect and magnificent and just so right...before she knew it she had crawled into Echo's lap and was hugging him for dear life and trying not to cry anymore than she already had as she buried her face into the crook of his neck. "This is the most...amazing, thoughtful, wonderful gift I've ever gotten in the history of ever. This is past perfection. This is..Castiel." she told him with a bit of awe. She had gotten into this old show from finding old picture of it on the internet and it just happened that Echo (of course) had the whole fracken thing so they had been binge watching seasons together digging themselves into the Supernatural madness. And from that madness came the knowledge of an angel named Castiel who was literally so perfect that perfection just changed his name to Castiel. It also shared weekends with Dean but that would make things a little more complicated than she'd like. All she knew was that she had the best boyfriend in the entire universe and her reeling in her infatuation be damned.
I said ooh, ooh

Sophie sighed wistfully as she swayed back and forth in her belted dress, a blue puffy chiffon blouse top with a chevron lace skirt, and all the while the boom and bellow of the live music performance blared across Finsbury Park. It had taken nearly an hour on the tube just to reach the park from her dormitories in Marymount International, but only five minutes to lose the group of girls' she had arrived with. The house captain will surely bite her head off for straying so quickly, but she didn't care. They could text her if they needed her; she's never too far from her cell phone after all, even if she can't use it when she's home. Ha! As if she could even call that house a 'home,' it was a mausoleum, if anything, dedicated to dead skeletons and their broken bones of tradition. Her face soured with compressed lips, distressed brows and a crinkled button nose; honestly, if she had any sense, she'd shrug off all these bloody thoughts—especially that voice in the back of her mind reminding her how a squib could never really belong in this world—but she had only as much sense as a mad hatter, though her blood lacked the boiling of mercury like theirs. A lopsided smile brightened her features suddenly, infinitely amused by the fables in her story books and the tidbits of truth hidden within.
She readjusted her headphones around her neck, scrolled through several apps on her phone and then she wandered through the park, maneuvered past crowds and spared half a second glance towards the children crawling over the playground. How long will it take for someone her age to pass by, she wondered? It seemed like everyone was just too old or too young, so much so, she was determined to strike up a conversation with the next hopefully below sixteen year old-ish-looking teenager to walk by.

She happily looked for a reason to get out of the house even if it met she was a mother of four for the day. She just hoped Aurora would not be overwhelmed by the crowd but she was sure she'd be fine. Jane had been very much blessed with a calm child though she was sure that streak would not last, she was almost positive her next child would be just a bit crazy. With these genes you couldn't escape it. It seemed like the perfect day, warm and sunny, which was rare enough here in England and the air was filled with music. There wasn't much better than this, she was sure of that. She moved the group toward the designated children's area, making sure they were safe from any older, scary students that might be hanging around the park. She would just let them run free once they got to a play ground, they all seemed pretty excited about it and so was she. {Out of Character:} ]http://www.polyvore.com/jane_pregnant/set?id=137055190 |

spaceDeirdre's face was split into a wide grin as she wandered the park with her guitar in hand. Sometime later on, she was supposed to head over to one of the make-shift stages they'd set up and do an actual performance as an official volunteer, but she had some time to kill between now and then and was planning on setting up shop, so to speak, somewhere around the festival. Tassy had tagged along and was volunteering as well, and the two of them were going to play together a bit before their respective 'shows.' All that they needed right now was a good place to set up.
spaceSienna brown eyes roved the pathways and grassy patches as she tried to scout a location. She wondered if she'd get in trouble for playing off-the-clock. Or for leaving her case open to accept tips. Surely she couldn't be blamed if people just gave them though, right? At least, not if she didn't actually ask for them? She didn't really need the money, not anymore, Johnny took very good care of her for the most part, but the guy she'd been with just before she'd met the wizard had ensured that she was never going to allow herself to be reliant on a man ever again. She was still paying her own bills (although, a fair bit of the money from that, Johnny did pay her, for playing in his coffee shop), and she still played street corners when she could to make a little extra. She actually had money in savings now, money that hadn't come from her mother's estate when she'd died. Money she'd earned on her own and been able to put back, which had never happened before in all her life. Overall, she was very comfortable... which was why she was willing to volunteer to play at the festival. Normally she wouldn't have been able to afford doing a show for free. Having that ability was sort of freeing. She smiled brightly, spotting a promising looking corner where two paths of the sidewalk met, and pointed it out. "Whatcha think, Tas?" she asked, eyes bright and excited. The two of them had played together before, but only in the privacy of their homes, for the hell of it because they were bored (and occasionally drunk). This was their first time actually performing with one another. It was sort of exciting, really.

 Music is the strongest form of magic.
But when you get music and words together,
that can be a very powerful thing.

Tassy followed Dee as they walked through the park looking at the small booths that were already being set up and the actual stages where the performances would be held with a happy grin. It had been a while since she actually performed for an audience rather than just strummed her guitar to the tune of some crazy kid show Chance liked whenever she babysat. For a kid who couldn't even say "chocolate" right, he sure did know a lot of songs. And demanding too! Part of her enthusiasm was the fact that she would be playing with her friend which was going to be epic since neither of them were drunk on shots.
Looking around at the populace she mainly spied parents with really young or pre-teen young kids running about with only a handful of actual teens and young adults sprinkled in the mix. But then, it was still rather early so maybe the rest would slowly trickle in the closer it got to showtime. The Scott had contemplated asking Les to accompany her and her friend but had thrown the idea out. He had been acting a little odd around her, odder than usual, and she didn't think a muggle music festival was the appropriate time to approach him. At least not if she wanted a straight answer. She was honestly trying not to think of it too much; for all she knew he was just having a few off days at his job or he was in a dry spell and didn't want to ask her to un-clench his unreasonably tight a*****e. Whatever, today wasn't about cue ball, it was about having fun and playing whatever jams they wanted to. Perfect start to Spring in her opinion.
When they arrived at a spot at an intersecting pathway and was asked her opinion, Tassy made a show of hemming and hawing as she looked it over before turning to her friend with a bright grin. "I think it's great Dee! We'll get some good practice in before the gig annnnd maybe a little bit of moola to pay for some drinks later on." she said conspiratorially with a wink and laugh. She knew her friend still played on corners even though she didn't have to what with that boyfriend of hers but she also knew the musician was self reliant, just like her. It was why the two seemed to get along so well; both knew men could be dicks, both were independent women who could handle themselves, both had a man with an abnormally large head that tried to butt into their business. The fact that they were both sleeping with said man wasn't really worth mentioning though. Practically bursting with excitement, she sat her stuff down and unpacked her brilliant blue violin and after applying a thin layer of rosin to the equally colored bow began to tune it to its right proportions. "So, what do we want to start with? Something fast? Something slow? Jazzy? Poppy? Funkalicious? C'mon, work with me!" she rattled off eager to start playing.

Let's say sunshine for everyone.
But as far as I can remember-
We've been migratory animals...
Living under changing weather.
Someday we will foresee obstacles.

aster │ age ten │ muggleborn
Aster Frey was not an easy child to control. Any of her various teachers or babysitters or relatives could have told you that. Despite her relatively small, scrawny size she was notoriously hard to handle, and she certainly had never been one to quietly hold her mother or father's hand or sit meekly on their laps. Once she wanted to do something, she did it, even- especially- if it meant running off. 'Don't be perverse', her mother was always telling her. 'You need to learn how to compromise with other people,' her father often reminded her. Of the two, she found it easier to compromise than to not be perverse, so she'd made a deal with her parents today. If she behaved herself and didn't run off anywhere, they'd take her and Pamela to the music festival. It was two and a half hours from Dorset to London, and after being cooped up in the car for the long, even if it was with her best friend, Aster looked ready to bolt like an escaping prisoner at any given moment. Her father looked bemused, her mother exasperated, as she'd refused to wear the lovely spring dress in shades of pastel that had been laid out for her and was instead in a charcoal blouse, jeans, and trainers. Cecelia Frey had gotten her way with her daughter's hair, though, and it was neatly combed and in a different sort of braid than usual. The park was crowded, full of children and parents, but Aster squared her bony shoulders and elbowed her way through, forging on ahead, but continuously looking back impatiently until til they broke into a more open area. "I want to get my face painted," she declared. "Blue," she added to that statement after a moment of consideration. "Pam, what colors are you going to get?" She assumed, of course, that her friend would want hers painted as well. Who wouldn't? It was paint. On your face. And it definitely wasn't hot enough that it would feel gross. Spring was perfect face paint weather.
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard...
Today we will sell our uniform!
Live together, live together-
We played hide and seek in waterfalls;
We were younger, we were younger. |
