Bellamy chuckles in kind. “Ah, nah. I’ll probably save it for another day. Taking a break and tagging along sounds more fun.” And less embarrassing because he’s definitely sure he can accompany somebody with no issues, but he’s not 100% he can rip a piece of wood in half without running into some problem or failing. Bellamy tugs off the gloves he wears to split firewood and tosses them on the chopping block. “Besides, s’not like people are crazy over firewood anyway.” Their stall is like super niche. He’s pretty sure more people prefer whatever’s in the gymnasium or snowman building. Tucking his hands into his jacket pockets for warmth, Bellamy crosses over to stand beside Anne before beginning to walk towards the gymnasium. “So how long have you and Blake known each other?” He asks, figuring that’s a pretty decent small talk topic since they’re going to look for Blake after all.

anne is a little disappointed by that result, it would have been funny to see him try, but she was still amused by the entire idea. however she smiles that he’s decided to join her. “ just you wait, you’re gonna come back and there’s gonna be a line around the corner of people just waiting for firewood. ” she joked with a chuckle. following up with the clarification of “ i’m kidding. ” with a friendly smile, even though it was probably entirely obvious she had been. but she didn’t know bellamy, not really, and he didn’t know her. better safe than sorry, right? the question throws her a little as they walk, having to do some quick maths in her head as she answered “ well, he moved in next door when i was eight, so, ten-ish years. ” it was a short friendship compared to others she had with people that lived in northlake their whole lives but her and blake had a special connection, anne believed at least. “ i don’t know, honestly i usually count it by how old his dog is, and i’m pretty sure his dog is ten. ” she chuckled as they walked.

“Kids dressed as the girls from Frozen?” Well, it doesn’t take much to impress Anne it seems. “I’m doing fine. Glad I’m not stuck behind a stall,” he admits truthfully. Tristan’s never been one for service after all. And he’s had to be pretty dialed down today and it’s already bothering him – playing nice to certain people he’d normally make fun of, especially since their parents are around. He can’t imagine having to be even more fake trying to sell a baked good or cut some firewood. Though, the axe is appealing… “I suppose I am kind of bored though.” With all of his friends or persons of interests tied up in volunteering, he’s rather… unoccupied. And it’s getting kind of lonely. Not like he can distract himself by making fun of people either. “Do you need a hand judging snow people? Or just… company.” Tristan speak for: Can I hang out? I literally have nowhere to go.

“ mmhmm, so cute. ” anne nodded enthusiastically, she was almost positive that those kids would be the highlight of her day. “ imagine how not bored you would be if you had volunteered for something, ” she mused, feigning innocence for a moment before small grin formed on her features. she couldn’t even picture tristan behind a stall, even the ones where you didn’t really have to talk to people like firewood or bauble painting. “ yeah, sure, of course. ”  she enthused, though not specifying if she wanted help or just company. she didn’t think tristan would be a very nice judge, and it was just a market competition and some kids. “ you got any christmas plans? ” she asked, shoving hand back in her pocket as she started making conversation.

Watching Anne dig into her own candy cane, Tilly dug into her bucket to get one for herself. Sure she was meant to be giving them out, but having just one herself wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Sucking on the treat, she looked her friend once over for any obviously snow prints, granted that was a little hard considering just how bad their Winter was, before shrugging, “You look safe.” She crinkled her brow, torn between asking what exactly her best friend needed the redhead for and simply answering. She decided on the latter, “Not today. Isn’t he meant to be cutting the firewood? Less weird segway, he started asking about my Christmas present last week - he thinks he was being subtle, but don’t be shocked if he asks for advice.”

anne gave a little turn as tilly looked her up and down, as if to make it easier to spot any possible snowball remains on her coat. “ for now, ” she noted, though she still doubted any kid would try it if they wanted to win their round of the competition. “ yeah, i checked the stall and they said they hadn’t seen him all morning. ” she said, pursing her lips a little but doing her best to smother anxiety on the issue. it was probably nothing. but then a chuckle as tilly continues, “ oh, he already asked for advice. don’t worry i suggested something nice, elegant, it’ll be fine. ” she nodded with a smile.

Bellamy finds himself laughing a little at Anne’s response. “You’re totally right,” he agrees though. He should definitely at least attempt it. But before he could go on about his game plan on how to approach this, his attention is distracted by her question, growing curious himself when Anne mentions Blake’s name. “Yeah, speaking of that actually, I haven’t seen him at all today. Kinda lonely cutting wood without a buddy but maybe he’s just running late or something?” He suggests. He feels like Blake’s a solid enough dude that he won’t skip out on volunteering for something on purpose. “Have you tried calling? I would, but like I don’t have his number and also I’ve been busy like…” He looks down at the wood between them. “–doing wood stuff.”

anne cant help the way her lower lips sucks in at that response, not what she had wanted to hear. after holding it for a split moment she let go again, shrugging her shoulders. it’s not a big deal she reminds herself. “ not yet, i texted him a couple times but hadn’t heard back, thought he might have been too busy over here or something. ” she said, keeping tone casual. maybe blake was inside, she would have thought he’d have the time to text her back then, but maybe his phone was broken or something. “ i was gonna have a poke around inside, if you can take a break for a minute and wante dto come along? ” she offered, remaining light in her tone. “ unless you were gonna try and do that captain america thing right now, kinda wanna see if its as easy as he makes it look. ” she chuckled.

If Tilly didn’t love Anne so much she’d be incredibly jealous of her lack of costume - not only because she felt ridiculous in her holiday themed getup but also because it was proving to provide next to no warmth. At least she didn’t have to stand outside for a snowman competition though. “I don’t even know why I asked,” She laughed, tossing the candy cane over to her friend, “Oh a delight. Any kids hit you with a snowball yet?”

with a grin she caught the tossed candy cane, smiling at their favourite christmas treat as she pulled it open. “ you know, i’d like to say no because i have the prizes, but i’m wearing so many layers i really don’t know if i’d feel it if it didn’t hit me in the face. ” she admitted, chuckle following her words. “ odd follow up question but you haven’t seen blake around, have you? i haven’t seen him all day. ” she asked, confident that if anyone would know: it would be tilly.

Tilly wasn’t exactly sure why she agreed to this, it had seemed like a great idea months ago but now in reality she was awkwardly paired with her ex for the whole day. But how was she meant to say no when Penelope had insisted she still take part? At least she was managing to pull off the elf outfit. “Naughty or nice?” She smiled wickedly, the red and striped candy cane almost dangling teasingly from her hand.

although inside the gym wasn’t hot, it was certainly far warmer than it was outside and as a result anne had peeled off her gloves, undone her coat and had it hanging off her shoulders as she wandered through the fair. spotting tilly in elf costume she’d quickly wandered over, answering her question “ naughty, always ” with a little shimmy of her shoulders and a grin. “ how’s life being santa’s little helper? ”

“Christ, it’s fucking cold out. Game of Thrones wasn’t kidding when they said winter is coming. It’s fucking here and frigid.” He blows into his gloved hands before rubbing them together. “How’s the market treating ya?”

anne chuckled at the expression tristan decided to use, with coat wrapped tightly around her and fluffy hood protecting her ears but nose and cheeks still exposed and turned pink from the cold, he was certainly right. pulling gloved hand from her pocket she held out a pocket warmer to him. they had been the only things keeping her content out in the cold. “ is it bad that i asked my mom to bring me a hot water bottle to keep in my jacket? ” she asked, mostly rhetoric. “ i saw some little kids dressed as the girls from frozen so really good. just lonely out here in the cold. ” she joked, though it was the truth. as the temperature seemed to drop, people became less interested in coming outside to build a snowman. “ how about you? ”

“I wonder if it’s like humanly possible to do that Captain America thing where he rips the piece of wood in half by hand,” Bellamy voices out loud. He’s been getting himself into the superhero stuff more and more. It started out as a way to have things to talk about with Tess but now, it’s just kind of like a fun pastime. Plus, it keeps him from having to think too hard about his movie selections when he has the time to watch something because he just goes down the super long superhero list. Two birds with one stone if you ask him.

anne hadn’t wandered over to the firewood cutting with the intention of talking to bellamy per say, though seeing as she could see who she was looking for, he might be able to provide answers to her questions. “ i’m not saying there’s only one way to find out, but, there’s only one way to find out. ” she teased in response, hands holding onto the little pocket warmers in her coat to return some feeling to her fingertips after playing in the snow for so long. “  you haven’t seen blake around have you? he was supposed to be working this stall. ” she said, making sure she didn’t sound as anxious as she felt.

“It’s technically a Christmas movie. There is snow everywhere and it makes me want to drink hot chocolate in bed, so I say it counts. I didn’t! That sounds adorable. I love when everyone gets in the holiday spirit.” 

“ i thought christmas movies had to involve christmas to some degree. like, love actually isn’t about christmas, it just revolves around it. ” anne noted, though she didn’t make the rules on christmas movies. “ she was so cute! kinda disappointed i didn’t get to put my name down for the santa photos stall, but ya know, snowmen, close second. ”

emerson-forester‌:

Emerson nodded as Anne continued to talk, placing her hand over her heart. “What did we ever do to deserve her? Like, this is what 2018 needs. We barely deserve her.” She wished she could say that she was exaggerating, but she wasn’t. “Could you imagine? Ugh. I would die to see what the behind-the-scenes of that video looked like. – Speaking of essays, if you ever wanna work on stuff together, let me know. Maybe we can use some girl power of our own to get our work done.”

“ no idea, maybe its just fate putting us back in the balance for just, all the bullcrap of this year. a little bit of ari to round us out for the year ” anne joked, though she severely hoped that fate had more in store for them to repay for this year. “ right? apparently she said on twitter that there was gonna be like a couple versions of it because they filmed so much. ” she wasn’t totally sure if that was true, but it sounded right. “ oh yeah for sure, honestly i just get distracted so easily. as long as you can keep me on track, i’m so down. ”

“I have to physically restrain myself from singing Do You Want to Build a Snowman right now. Mind you, I hate that song.” He said, while trying desperately to roll the snow into a ball. 

“ right? i know frozen isn’t really a christmas movie, but i really want to watch it again. ” anne hummed, hand stuffed in her coat pockets “ did you see that little girl dressed as anna before? ”

[ohcnnes-archive]

emerson-forester‌:

“I think we all did. The whole ‘former Nickelodeon star’ thing kind of threw me for a bit, but then she put out Sweetener, and I’ve been listening to it ever since.” Anne’s comment about Amy Poehler, though made Emerson’s face light up. “Oh my gosh, and you know she’d totally be into it. I don’t know if it’s the number of resources she has, or her genius, or some combination of the two… but it’s really kind of a small miracle it all came together so well. Wow. I just… can’t get over how freakin’ great she is, honestly.”

“ yeah, you’re totally right. like i can’t even like connect that the red hair and thank u next ariana are the same person. ” she admitted with a chuckle. “ and then like, into you, what a bop. ” she dramatically held a hand over her heart before another light laugh followed. “ i’ll only believe that she was behind the camera giving kris pointers, i have to believe that. honestly, what girl power. i love it. like i can barely get myself to finish an essay when i have all the resources to do i, and she’s out here creating the best girl anthem in years. ”

“I agree completely.” Come to think of it, Eric hadn’t seen The Lion King in a while either. School always seemed to get in the way of fun, mind-numbing activities like watching movies or tv. He smiled at Anne’s reaction to his idea, glad that she approved. Their last conversation hadn’t been quite so cordial. He remembered how angry she had been at him for the video prank. “Yeah, I’m sure we can get a decent little group together, maybe even do a sleepover or something. You, me, Tris, Blake, Tilly…” He trailed off at the last name, not quite realizing up until that point that perhaps he and Tilly were actually on friendly enough terms that he could legitimately think inviting her was a good idea. 

“ yeah! that’d be fun, really fun. ” anne enthused, she loved christmas, and she loved her friends. what better combination than a christmas movie sleepover? though, she noted that he listed tilly’s name at all as much as he did. she tried not to make it obvious. “ speaking of, though, you and tilly. ” she paused with raised brow. “ talking again? ” of course, she was aware her last conversation with eric hadn’t been the most pleasant, especially from her. but he’d learnt his lesson, or at least learnt that if he did something like that again, anne wouldn’t be so diplomatic as to ask him to take it down. so as long as he didn’t do anything like that again, anne had no reason to hold a grudge. everyone had to learn one way or another.

“Feel free to tell my mom that, Annie.” Eric stuffed his hands into his pockets, hiding them from the chilly winter air. “You’re going to rip on me no matter what movie I say, but if I had to pick one it’d probably be The Lion King.” He had yet to meet a single human being who hated that one. “If we’re strictly talking holiday movies, it’s hands down Home Alone… Maybe we should get a group together and just have a Christmas movie marathon or something.”

“ i just might, you know. she should know better. ” anne threatened teasingly, of course she had no intention of following through on her words but it wouldn’t stop her from poking fun. “ oh the lion king is such a good movie, ” she cooed, holding a gloved hand over her heart. “ i haven’t seen it in so long, ” she thought aloud, mentally adding it to her list of movies to watch. but in january, not december. then a small excited gasp at his idea “ don’t say things like that to me unless you mean it, because it will happen and you will all have to sit through me crying through love actually. ”

“My Dad’s making sure we get there nice and early for the Market on Saturday morning, as in crack of dawn early. He’s still kind of the new guy in the department so he’s trying to make a good impression- which means I’m volunteering too. I’m on the hot drinks stand since apparently, Northlake is lacking qualified baristas with time on their hands,” she explained with a shrug, “Are you volunteering?”

“ so they’re not just using instant coffee? ” anne questioned, that’s what she pretended to take from it, but she would remember this girl’s connection to the police. just like she had aiden’s. “ that’ll make the stall like super busy, ” she mused, knowing her own mother would be a big fan of that. then she nodded. “ yeah, snowman judge. it’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it. ” she joked with a smile. “ anne, by the way. i don’t think we’ve met. officially, at least.  ” of course she’d seen her in at least one of her classes, but her name escaped her.

blake-henley‌:

Blake’s features shifted into an expression that read utter confusion as Anne revealed the strange and somewhat elaborate theory. He couldn’t help but try to imagine what sort of a mind would conjure things like this, certainly not one that operated anything like his own. Still, it was curious, he supposed and listened to his girlfriend intently, “I guess that makes sense,” as much sense as he could make of it, anyway “Tigger was my favorite, I had a stuffed Tigger plushie I took to kindy with me,” he explained warmly, wondering if his mother had kept it somewhere in the attic, it was likely. 

“Um,” Blake hesitated, a blush coloring his cheeks as he shrugged his shoulders, “I’ve started thinking about it,” he confessed, making it more than obvious that no, he hadn’t even come anywhere close to commencing his Christmas shopping. “You can help me find something for Tilly though, she’s impossible to buy for,” it wasn’t a secret that most of Tilly’s wishlist was well, well beyond Blake’s budget and so he’d have to improvise with the help of Tilly’s best friends for guidance. “Yeah, nah, I won’t,” he promised though he’d be using his commute between stalls to check in with Anne, God forbid the Boogeyman make an unwelcome appearance at the Market “-Yeah, course I will. You think I’m not gonna make a snowman? I’m gonna make a snow-quarter-back, taller than you- and I’ll bring you coco,”

“ right, it’s weird but kinda interesting. ” anne commented, interesting enough to have her read a whole article on it at least. though anne standard for entertainment had dipped low with the late nights. quite a lot could capture her interest for an hour or two. “ then there was one about the rugrats, and i had to draw the line there, i couldn’t read it. ” she joked, drawing a line with her hand as a light chuckle fell from her lips. small grin sat easily on her lips, head tilting a little as she said “ aw, that’s so cute. you guys would’ve had matching hair. ” and it wasn’t surprising at all that blake’s favourite had been tigger. “ you have so many good like, childhood little anecdotes. ” she commented warmly, not that anne didn’t but she didn’t remember and treasure them the same way he seemed to, she wanted to change that. 

she allowed a small smile at that confession, again, wasn’t totally surprising, but was a little worrying for organised little anne milton. “ she’s not, not really. ” she insisted, “ you know i kinda had a little idea, but you can steal it if you want? i’ll find something else. ” she offered. tilly had always been like another part of anne, just an extension, doing things she couldn’t or wouldn’t do. hence, finding gifts for her was usually a second nature. the issue was limiting what she got her. she pursed her lips a little to try and prevent the wide smile from showing. “ do you think i’ll get disbarred as judge if say you’re the winner, even though obviously you would be ” she chuckled, slight exaggerating her words with dramatic flair. “ hot coco could be considered bribery. ”
