@beckydetweiler
for the festival, becky had agreed to host a food stall for third street. while she had trusted staff members and chefs working shifts throughout the festival days, it was only fair that she took her turns as well.
"okay, andy, you can clock off and go and enjoy the festival" she smiled watching the guy sprint off into the sun. becky put her apron on and turned the the queue of customers
"next up! what can i get for you?"
@happieststarters
"Hey, stay hydrated, okay? I recommend red as a personal favourite flavour but you'll be all good with yellow too. Flavour's orange though which is a bit misleading. Anyway- Please, whichever one you want-," he offered, holding out both bottles- "Side question, have you seen Anastasia Tremaine around yet?" @happieststarters
becky took one look at the aggressively coloured drinks and shook her head "uh, i'm going to stick with water but thanks for the offer. i don't like how luminescent that yellow one is looking and drinks shouldn't look that red" looked like radioactive caffeine "no i've not seen her around, if i do i'll let her know you're looking for her"
henrik had taken on the role of building the tent at the campsite for himself and terence. he wanted terence to have a good time to take some time for himself to relax at the festival.
hitting the tent stakes into the ground, he checked the guy lines to make sure that they were secure and tight enough and took a step back crossing his arms to admire his work.
walking through the campsite to go meet up with woody and her friends, she spotted henrik admiring his building skills. "be honest, how long did it take you to build it?" she smiled "i know my brother will still be wrapped up in knots somewhere"
as much as catching up with an old friend would be good, he didn't care about that at all right now. not when becky had just said what she had said. he had to catch himself for a second to make sure he actually heard her correctly and it wasn't just wishful thinking. the breath he didn't realise he was holding punched from his lungs. he didn't want to spook her. this was something but it was also new territory. woody tentatively reached out to her, moving closer to close some of the distance "becky...i'm not ever going to try and replace or erase him. he was too important to both of us for that" he had to reassure her, he couldn't risk wrecking whatever this was before it even started.
she felt a lump in her throat at the tenderness and consideration he was showing regardless of his feelings. "i know..." she nodded softly. woody wasn't that type of man to do that sort of thing but his reassurance was comforting. all this time of dancing around one another, all the denial they had spent years telling everyone suddenly felt so foolish that they'd wasted so much time. jimmy would always be there but he would be cherished memories of a first love and not a looming death of an ex husband that lingered over her for a lifetime "if it was going to be anyone, it was always going to be you"
"we do have a lot to catch up on and i'm sure we will when we cross paths again. you're right, i don't, but i do know what mine are" woody wasn't sure he wanted to bring it up but then that stupid deal he made with nani ran through his brain. if it weren't for the deal he would've likely avoided the topic until the end of time. woody gazed at the woman he'd loved since they were seventeen "is it just me?"
it would be nice to see bowie again, an old friend of the crowd returning back to their college town. becky quirked an eyebrow at his certainty of his circumstances. he looked like he was at odds with himself, having an internal quandary over something he didn't need to say out loud. they knew each other in a way that they didn't have to speak to know what the other was thinking. she felt her heart race at the question. she thought the guilt of feeling like she was betraying jimmy would've caught her from falling, that it would deter any form of feelings for woody. maybe it was a sign from jimmy that she didn't feel her stomach drop in dread. maybe it was his way of reassuring her from afar that this was okay. becky's eyes hadn't left woody's when she slowly shook her head. "...it's not just you"
"maybe, but we're never going to be more than friends. i'm not interested in bowie like that" he had made it clear to her. he stayed friends with her over the years but nothing more than that was going to happen. he was too hung up on the woman in front of him. "yeah but i'm not looking everywhere." he looked down at becky, catching her eyes "becky..."
"you've not seen each other properly in years. you'll have a lot to catch up on, you never know what her circumstances are until you talk to her" she suggested to him. his words had brought the conversation to a more serious note. becky looked up at his eyes "...yeah?"
She was thankful that Becky understood. Honeymaren hated to make people wait, especially when it was cold out. "I'll admit, I'm more of a spring time person, but winter can be nice if you're prepared for it. How have you been?"
the dogs wandered along with their owners through the park "i like the winter for the holiday season, everyone feels a bit happier around that time of year. i do miss the sun in the winter" she smiled "i've been good, working away at the restaurant and trying to keep my brother out of trouble. how have you been?"
it was better to keep the brain distracted and right now becky and woody were the distraction she needed, and the next one would be nani and paxton. she needed these friends of hers to get it together and admit their feelings for these guys for the sake of her sanity. "no they're not, and you and woody aren't subtle about your feelings either by the way" she countered with an amused look on her face "and what about it? so what if you've been friends for years? friendships progress into relationships all the time." it was the second part that couldn't be dismissed "becky, jimmy wouldn't want you to spend your life alone. he'd want you to be happy with whoever made you happy. you've spent all the time avoiding how you feel, it's time for you to put your feelings first"
she knew what babette was saying was correct and yet the guilt of the idea of moving on gnawed at her. her face must've been a picture at the way babette had straight up called her and woody out. "babette, not this again..." she sighed, trying to avoid the conversation continuing "i know they do, it's different. i know jimmy wouldn't want me to spend my days being alone but there's something about relationships that make me feel guilty. he should be here and he's not."

not the right woman in love. the woman he wanted was right in front of him and he couldn't muster up the courage to tell her. "she was nice and all but she was just a friend." a friend who didn't get the memo of being just a friend but woody shut it down. "i...uhh...it would be someone kind, intelligent, talented..." like her. someone like her. she was right there for him to say it but the words wouldn't leave his mouth. "i don't know how you walk in those but it's a skill"
"i hear she's moving back to town. maybe she's changed" her brother had mentioned that he'd seen her announcement online that she was moving town "see? there's plenty of people in town with those qualities. everywhere you look there could be someone like that" becky looked down at her shoes and laughed as they swayed to the music "my feet are immune to them now. it has become somewhat of a skill i guess"
"mine has been fun. things have been looking up, this town is full of beautiful people and how rude it would be to ignore them. victor is still being victor, and he and i will talk about it one day; but today isn't that day" she shrugged. she wasn't going to give any more tears to that subject. babette let out a dramatic huff at her friends admission. fuck it, she was in a poke the bear kind of mood "becky, when are you and woody just going to air out whatever vibe is going on between you two? at least nani and paxton are doing that while they think they're being sneaky - and they are about as subtle as a kick in the crotch. you deserve to have fun and be happy, you deserve to have someone adore you, why not accept that it's woody?"
for someone who was normally dramatic to their very core, with a track record to boot, babette was handling everything surprisingly better than becky thought. turns out all her attention was on whatever woody and her were. she had considered the possibility of woody being her person, it wasn't like there wasn't something there. it was complicated. "they aren't subtle about it at all, are they?" she smiled. nani was happy and that was all that mattered. "i know what you're trying to do, babette. we've been friends for so long, there's history there. then there's the whole jimmy situation, woody and him were best friends, i was jimmy's wife before he died. it complicates things"
It was colder than she expected; thank goodness that Honeymaren had put Princess in a sweater and snow shoes. Of course, she had to practically wrestle those on her, but knowing that the salt from the road was bad for their feet, she didn't want to risk it. "Sorry, I know we're a little late, I just didn't want her to be too cold," Honeymaren offered an apologetic smile, setting Princess down and clipping her leash on.
@beckydetweiler
it must be strange for people to see becky's dog walking alongside honeymarens, the size difference alone was enough to make anyone laugh. becky smiled and waved hello at the arrival of honeymaren and princess "no need to apologise, it's important she's warm. i did the same with finster." the whippet leaned down to sniff a hello at princess.
@woodwardpride
"i could say the same for you" she smiled, admiring her friend. becky was always beautiful and every connotation of the word. "how are you enjoying your night? have you brought a date to break all our hearts?" she was hoping that whatever the hell was going on between woody and her would amount to something, becky deserved to be happy.
"my night is going well so far, nothing to complain about. how has yours been? how have things been since the split with victor?" was it official or not? who knew when it came to babette and victor. all she knew that it was branded as a 'break' but the break was becoming the longest break the duo had ever had "no, no date for me. flying solo as always"
"Oh—" She smiled anyway, taking a sip of her drink. "There's nothing wrong with that, of course. I suppose sometimes I just miss not having to deal with adult things."
"you and me both. life was much easier when we were all kids and had nothing to worry about other than handing homework in on time"
not the right woman in love. the woman he wanted was right in front of him and he couldn't muster up the courage to tell her. "she was nice and all but she was just a friend." a friend who didn't get the memo of being just a friend but woody shut it down. "i...uhh...it would be someone kind, intelligent, talented..." like her. someone like her. she was right there for him to say it but the words wouldn't leave his mouth. "i don't know how you walk in those but it's a skill"
"she meant well, it's neither of your faults that things didn't work out how she wanted them" becky always had time for bow, she was a lovely person but she knew what woody meant when he said that she wasn't the right person. she wasn't the type of person she thought woody would date "there's plenty of women in town that would fit that description" she could rhyme off at least twenty single women that immediately came to mind, herself somewhere on that list "it's something i've gotten used to. i'll try not to stamp on your feet, if you try not to stamp on mine, deal?"
