I didn’t have time to start the @greencreekweeks even yesterday, so I’m doing the autumn prompt today.
The pack is all over at the Bennett property, raking up the leaves
Bambi is there too, even though she isn’t pack (at least yet)
Elizabeth is like we have a guest all of you idiots better behave and Jessie’s like you know they’re not going to why even try
Joe definitely uses the line I’m falling for you on Ox
Timberwolf tries to help rake too, but he’s a giant wolf so he has mixed success
He’s kind of helping by pushing leaves into Carter’s pile
But he’s also kind of knocking half of Carter’s pile over in the process
Plus he has so many leaves stuck in his fur now
Carter is getting annoyed and calls Timber a mess and tells him to stop knocking the pile over
Timber starts helping a little less urgently, being careful not to knock the pile over (or at least not as much)
He wags his tail with pride when Carter mutters out “That’s better.”
Afterward, Carter has to pick leaves out of Timber’s fur and it takes forever
He makes Kelly help him and Timber growls at that at first
Robbie has a similar reaction internally because he was having a nice time helping Kelly get a bigger leaf pile than Carter because Carter’s been cheating using Timber’s help
(Although Carter insists it’s not cheating when he’s knocking it over more than he’s helping)
Carter calls Timber on growling and stares him down and warns “No growling at Kelly.”
So Timber begrudgingly lets Kelly help, even though he would incredibly love to have Carter personally pick the leaves out all on his own for however long it takes
It’s not totally clear if the shop boys are helping or just scooping up leaves out of piles to dump on each other’s heads
Mark is so pleased because autumn is his favourite season and the the whole territory smells like dirt and leaves and rain and that doesn’t have to be bittersweet anymore
Mark keeps sniffing the air and he’s so green
Gordo is internally like he is such a dork but he’s my dork and I love him
Then he gets all three of the shop boys dumping leaves on him at once because he’s distracted what his mate
And now he really smells like dirat and leaves and rain
Gordo is pulling the leaves out of his shirt and hair and Mark comes over
For a second, Gordo is naive enough to think Mark is going to help him
He’s just wrapping his arms around him and sniffing him
Gordo’s like you’re the actual worst
But that’s okay because the brothers get Mark worse later
At least the shop boys have the decency to not pick the wettest leaves possible
Rico tries to use Bambi as a shield of you wouldn’t dump leaves on her
But then she betrays him and teams up with the boys
Chris makes the mistake of trying to pick Jessie up to drop her in a leaf pile and ends up with his arm pinned behind his back like ow okay I won’t throw you stop
He thought he had the element of surprise but Jessie can look after herself better than any of the shop boys
And basically what should have been a chore raking up all the leaves turns out to be fun for the pack and some nice relaxation after all that they’ve been through
