"Fucking hell--," she hissed under her breath, discarding yet another chestnut. "These are un-roastable and I literally no longer care." @happieststarters

[fawnfaefauna]

fawn was part of the crowd who were taking it upon themselves to roast some chestnuts. hearing anastasia's swearing, fawn turned and offered hers as a replacement "here, take these"

normally walking on sunshine, travis was too busy overthinking sending a text message to notice her skipping down the street. if he'd looked up, he might have been able to better avoid the almost-collision. this must have been the universe's way of telling him to 'wait'.

he grinned in response to seeing fawn, as always. "you can crash into me any day, fauna. but... now that you've mentioned them, i'd love a cookie. i think it'll really seal the deal for peace between us."

[fawnfaefauna]

thankfully she had managed to avoid knocking his phone out of his hand. fawn let out a laugh at him, feeling shy all of a sudden. "i'm all about keeping the peace. please, feel free to take as many cookies as you'd like" she offered.

"it was very convincing at the time," he replied before letting out a laugh. "recent reports would suggest that i've become way too soft in my old age. i think i'm being taken advantage of."

he smiled to himself as she hopped up onto the counter. travis had always had a soft spot (he refuted 'crush') for fawn but who wouldn't? "well, if i get to see you, me and the wrench'll be right out-," he teased, almost entirely sure he'd sorted the sink out. he moved then, his shoulders straining against the side of the under-sink. had he gone too far in? "on second thoughts, i better make sure everything's stable first. you havin' fun?"

[fawnfaefauna]

"nothing wrong with being a softie" she smiled down at him "the world's harsh enough, a little kindness goes a long way"

while she waited on travis emerging from the bowels of the sink, fawn went about pouring a drink for herself and him, it was the least she could do for him after he had been fixing the sink. "lucky me" she had always found travis to be charming, he always knew what to say. that paired with his good looks was both a winning and dangerous combination. fawn raised an eyebrow at his sudden change of heart "travis? ar-are you stuck under there?"

"i am, i am doing plumbing at a party," travis replied from under the sink, wondering just what had become of his life. if his past self could only see him now, huh? "i was assured it was a life or death situation." he took the wrench back under there and started messing around again before pausing--

"hey, is that you fawn? how you doin' up there?" he smiled- "i bet you're a sight for sore eyes, not that i'd know."

[fawnfaefauna]

if she wasn't confused before, she definitely was now. why would he of all people be working on plumbing at a party. "and you believe that?"

fawn hopped up onto the counter to take a seat and smiled down at him "it is" she confirmed "up here seems to be going much better than down there. you know, you can come out from under the sink, right?"

[fawnfaefauna]

fawn had heard it was lilo's birthday and was dropping off a present to her when she came across the wild party. she wandered through the home to the kitchen and hid her present in a cupboard for lilo to find later. "it's lilo's birthday"

[itsme-anastasia]

"fawn-," stasia started before forgetting how you finished a sentence like that. she should have expected to see her here. in fact, given another hour, stas probably would have drunk texted her herself. "right, lilo's birthday. i-- can i get you a drink?"

[fawnfaefauna]

"hi stas" she greeted, giving a wave of her hand. it wasn't like she didn't expect to see basically the whole younger generation of redwood hollow at this party. people couldn't help themselves when a party was mentioned. "umm...yeah sure, i guess."

[but-theylovehim]

When Travis had heard (literally, he'd been walking home at the time) there was a party going on, Lilo Pelekai had been the last person he'd expected to be behind it. He'd almost gotten past her lawn when she'd appeared in his path, talkin' real fast about a busted sink and her life being in his hands. And did she mention it was her birthday, basically?

Long story short, this is how Travis ended up with his head underneath the Pelekai kitchen sink, rummaging around while the party raged on. "Hey Lilo, I think I just need to tighten this up and you're good- can you pass the wrench?" A pause, his head still under the sink- "Lilo?" @happieststarters

[fawnfaefauna]

she had arrived later than most, unsure if she was even going to attend or not. she wasn't someone who had large amounts of friends in her life and going into a party alone felt daunting. however, she pushed herself to go and that was how she found herself in the kitchen and almost stepping on someone's legs.

fawn had confusion written over her face but still handed him the wrench "what are you doing?" she asked "are you doing plumbing at a party?"

[itsme-anastasia]

"Wait... Is this for someone's birthday? Shit, were we supposed to bring a card or something?" @happieststarters

[fawnfaefauna]

fawn had heard it was lilo's birthday and was dropping off a present to her when she came across the wild party. she wandered through the home to the kitchen and hid her present in a cupboard for lilo to find later. "it's lilo's birthday"

[fawnfaefauna]

she was in an incredible mood today. the plants were thriving, it was a sunny day, everything was coming up fawn. she'd even managed to get a box of those delicious cookies that she was on a hunt for. today was the best day.

practically skipping her way down the street, she waved at people she passed by that she knew and stopped when she almost crashed into travis.

"op, sorry. i wasn't looking. as an apology, would you like a cookie?"

“You’re telling me I’m the only person to have taken more than one piece of candy? That’s unheard of. It is not robbery. The instructions were unclear.” Tina stuck her nose in the air, folding her arms stubbornly. Her huff only worsened at the accusation. “Wha– No! I am not letting them boss me around! They’re just very cute and they’re gross when they cry and I’d rather not deal with that.” (In reality, yes, they did boss her around. Even worse, when Tina really wanted to wind them up, which was often, she refused to take orders from them, at which point, James would have to step in and she’d end up taking the orders anyway.)

-

“the instructions were very clear, you just don’t listen because you have sugarcanes in your ears” she laughed at the stubbornness of her friend. “so you let them boss you around. how the mighty have fallen” the tina bell she knew would’ve thrown a tantrum to overshadow even the boldest of tantrums from children. it was growth. she liked that for tina.
