“That’s fine, I picked out a really easy trail for everyone,” Merida smiled as they handed her the flyer, “I figured it’d be better because i know a lot of people don’t really hike much and so this will hopefully keep from getting anyone injured or exhausted.”
“that’s awesome. this is awesome. i’m so excited!!” silver replied, “i’ll have to invite some of my friends. i’m sure they would be all into this. so, what gave you the idea?”
“Egregious is like…” Wasabi’s knowledge gap when it came to English courses was starting to rear its head as he had no ready definition. “It’s like it’s clear! Like this thing is 100% different than that thing and everyone should see that. But sometimes not everyone does which is why sometimes you have to point out egregious things.”
“oh well i still disagree. even if i don’t really remember the two things we were disagreeing on.”

Let me set the scene: The sun is out, the streets of Carthay are beautiful as ever. There’s a music in the air, or perhaps maybe just in Eric’s head– His eyes wander up to the sky with a big smile on his face, and then they lower themselves straight ahead… and widen in horror. A big mass of white and grey hair charges forward towards an innocent and probably unsuspecting soon-to-be victim ( his eyes can’t recognize a face just yet ). “ Max! ” He yells immediately. Eric squeezes his eyes shut, regretting his decision of never putting a leash on his giant dog and then sprints forward towards the soon-to-be crime scene “ He’s harmless, I promise! ”.
minding her own silver was making her way back home. she didn’t have a car so her only means was the public transit and walking. so this was something she did often. and in all honestly the young girl enjoyed the atmosphere around her on her many walks-- today being one of those particularly good days for a walk. that was until she saw a giant (what looked like a mop in her opinion) dog running towards her at full force. it was really cute-- but way bigger than she. unexpectedly knocking her over and attacking her with puppy kisses, which made her bust into laughter. she sat up, “okay, puppy. okay.” petting him behind one of his furry ears. “i see that now.” she said gathering herself as she stood up. “what’s their name?”
“i’m telling you, they’re real !” lilo exclaims, throwing her hands up in the air. “how can you sit here and look me in the eyes and say that in the expanse of the entire freaking universe, we’re the only life forms ! i call bullshit. truly, i do.”
silver shrugged, “i mean i guess you’re right.. but i just haven’t ever seen one..” silver didn’t know much about ufos at all. “and i guess i just need more proof that they’re real. there is a possibility it’s just really hard to believe.”
“I don’t know why you’re complaining. I told you I would get you food if we went half and half. BUT, you didn’t give me your half, so now you’re food-less, sorry not sorry.”
“i’m mad because normal people wouldn’t go and buy food if the other person hadn’t given their half yet.. duh!!”
Monday had rolled around again and Kit just couldn’t be bothered. He appreciated his job, but god it bored him. The day was going so slowly and so he’d darted out of the office at the earliest opportunity in order to get some lunch from Crumble. Kit glanced over his shoulder to see who was behind him in the queue. He was feeling particularly generous today, after all the parties at the weekend had been some of the best of his entire life. “If you tell me one interesting fact about yourself, whatever you were going to get is on me,” he offered with a smirk. “Go on, anything at all.”
crumble was a go to lunch spot for silver it very much so fit her vibe. she like the comfort and warmth of the cafe. and they had the best tea in her opinion-- well the best tea next to her very own made at home. her brows perked up at the idea of a free meal, “hmm. let’s see.” she said tapping her finger on her chin, “i can hold my breath under water for four minutes and thirty seconds on average.”
It’s only been a little over a month since his new life started. He’s off the streets, living in an amazing home in Santa Cecilia. Most days, Aladdin can barely believe it. Even people in town don’t seem to recognize him after Genie’s magical makeover on him. With this new look and identify, it wasn’t going to stop him from getting a cup of his favorite tea. Aladdin waited in line as he noticed the person in front of him having trouble paying. He stepping from behind to pull out his card. “Hey. I got this.” He handed over his card to the cashier. “Is there anything you want?”
silver sighed heavily trying to count the change in her bag for her drink. she had left her wallet once again and felt like a complete idiot. sadly the wasn’t the first time she had forgotten and for certain would not be her last. she was so forgetful of these things and always at the most unnecessary of times. then just like that the kindness of a stranger came swooping in. “i just would like a tea.. but you most certainly don’t have to do this... but thank you.”
It’s been another stressful shift, from paperwork to dealing with someone yelling at him when they’re the ones who didn’t pay their fines. It’s aggravating, but Shang keeps his composure long enough, until he’s finally off duty so he can finally take it out in the best way he knows how: the gym.
He’s stuffing his jacket into his bag as he walks, knowing he’s not going to need it in there. Unfortunately, he ends up bumping into someone.
“Ah, apologies.” He says before he even recognizes the person.
silver always winds up at the gym pool. no matter how had she tries to keep away and just relax she finds herself leaving home to do laps. maybe it’s part of her ‘get away from mom and dad just for a little while so i can breathe’ plan or just some internal longing to be in the water. either way it was a part of her day.
being the klutz silver is she wasn’t paying attention walking out from female locker hair wrapped in a towel walking right into someone.
“oh! no, no. i’m sorry. i wasn’t look--” she paused looking up at who she was looking at. cute guy at the gym? check. silver was now flustered. “i wasn’t, uh, looking. sorry.”
“YOU,” the girl called out, physically putting her hand on the shoulder of the person in front of her just to get their attention. Her eyes were burning into them and her jaw was clenched but of course that was only to scare them. She dropped her hand instantly and shrugged. “Yeah I’m kinda starved so I’m gonna need like ten bucks for tonight. In return I can offer you a favor and who doesn’t want a binding favor from the town’s pyro, right?” The girl tried to make light but on the inside she was trying to find dinner. “So how’s that ten dollar bill coming along?”
silver practically jumped out of her skin when zarina called out to her, she wasn’t expecting her at all to say the least. but when she realized who it was her features softened and the girl could focus on her friend’s need. “oh, z. sure! but my favor is you make it dinner for two.” silver replied, hoping the other would accept. but if silver knew anything about zarina... she probably wouldn’t. not after their last conversation. “so we can catch up and what-not.”
“So if you’re interested, or if you know anyone’s interested, for the first time ever this year, we are having a Pride Hike,” Merida said to the person that stopped in front of them as they handed a flyer to the bystander, “so we’re all going to be decked out in our colors, obviously, and then just hike around the woods. It’s next weekend and I think it’ll be a fun way of making Pride Months a more outdoor experience, what do you think?”
silver’s interest were certainly peaked by the idea. she was more of an ocean or swimming kind of girl but it seemed like a wonderful idea. “i would love to. i haven’t hiked much but who doesn’t love trying something new!” she replied with a warm smile, “certainly for pride month.”
“I mean, know is a strong word… I know of her. Honestly, she intimidates me so I usually just leave her alone.” Tootles admitted with a small shrug.
“oh.. well still.. you know of her. same thing.” silver said with a giggle, “one time she yelled at me so loud i thought i was going to cry.. but it kind of made me think she was hot.. i think i just have a thing for strong females.”
“I can only imagine what else the public has come up with theory wise – but I agree, I think that they could have probably moved away from royal tradition on this, as they have with a lot of their relationship. But maybe they just really like the name,” she shrugged.
“or since they have been more ‘non-traditional’ with other stuff they decided to stick with it for their first born. it makes sense.” silver replied, “i wonder if they had other choices? i bet choosing a baby name is hard work..”
