Sea Salt Popsicles?

*But she reminds him to wish, and he scrunched his eyes up tight and he reaches to clasp Miru’s hand*

*He wishes and wishes till he’s run out before opening his eyes to look at Miru’s soft brown gaze. Belatedly realizing he took her hand, he lets go*

Sorry /// Uh, so, what’d you wish for Miru?

[lunchladymiru]

-She’s amused by Zel’s enthusiasm (and by the sudden hand-holding), but decides to roll with it and closes her eyes briefly to make her usual wish-

-Tries her best not to show any disappointment when he releases her hand-

Well, I would love to tell you, but, sadly, according to the universal wish laws, I cannot.

[theworstpiesinweehawken-blog]

I think I could probably figure it out.

Some firework show, huh?

[weenurse]

Whoa what- *squints* Oh, it's a Ted! Is this the kid you were talking about, Miru?

I've never actually met a Ted from Thneedville before! Is it true your species only eats jello? Breathes artificial air? Dances with Disco trees?!

Wait, nevermind that, there's more shooting stars, quick! Make a wish, Teddy! And then straight back to your cabin, its waaayyy past curfew for a middle schooler.

[cheap-n-cheerfull]

Cheap!!! I heard you finished my hat, I'm totally hyped to see it!! And Pay for it of course uvu

Ohh yeah! I guess your brother Zale told you about it, huh? Just a moment then! *ducks into his cabin*

Tadaaa!~

*presents the hand knitted hat to Zel*

Now, doesn’t THIS look like one ‘heroic’ hat???

[weenurse]

*She laughs at Cheap's surprise* It definitely IS worth every penny, I never wanna take it off! Maybe next year you could make me a matching cape!

Hey, it's good you didn't see too much of me, there's nothing better than a HEALTHY camper, I usually only talked to kids who got hurt or fell sick. But it's too bad we never found your hat from back then.

*She streched out and looked over the mostly empty cabins, the air bereft of kids laughter* Too bad I can't show off my new headwear to the campers... I'm still glad though. I'm glad you made it. I'm glad we got to hang out. I know I can be overbearing sometimes- a LOT of times *she chuckled* But it's only cuz I like you so much, ReepiCheap. You're a goldmine of potential, don't let anyone make you feel otherwise, ok?

[weenurse]

*pauses the attack of affection at his words* Right, right of course!

*digs into her pocket for her wallet*

Something like this would be easily 50 bucks if I got it custom made. But cuz you did such an excellent job, I should give you at least double *she shells out five $20 bills* Hopefully that covers it!

I guess you're leaving soon, so thanks for getting this to me on time. *Her gaze softens as she looks at Cheap* You've grown a lot this summer, Cheap, I'm really really proud of you.

[weenurse]

(weehawkenisreal) Cel: Um...I can't draw people super well but I wanted to draw you as a Superhero and since we're leaving I thought it'd be a nice goodbye gift =) I thought your superpowers would be healing and flying and your outfit would be pink and white. I hope you like it!

Red: Thanks for everything Miss Zel!

Oh my Gosh Cel I love it!!!! I'm gonna laminate it and hang it up on my wall, it looks just like what I'd be as a hero!! ! I just gotta figure out a good name! Wow, you're REALLY talented, Cel!!! Keep drawing like this, you'll definitely be the next Picasso!

*hugs Cel* You be good, ok? And take care of your brother, he's too shy *ruffles his hair*

Hopefully I see you both next year!

[weenurse]

I'm gonna miss you Miss Zel! Even though we didn't see each other much this summer! -hugs her tightly-

Super Devin!

I'm gonna miss you too, hopefully I see you next year, we can talk all about the new Spider-Man and Blade Runner!

*squeezes him back*

Take care, stay Super!

Brother…?  OH uh yeah he- *sees the hat*

OH MY GOSH Its BEAUTIFUL! *quickly tries it on*

IT’S SO PERFECT I LOVE IT AND I LOVE YOU

*grabs Cheap and attacks his face with glittery lip gloss smooches everywhere* 

[weenurse]

*POOF* ugh, I smell like Axe bodyspray @,@

[weenurse]

Of course he noticed the glow on the lifeguard’s face and internally squeaked. He’d never seen 12 look so absolutely precious.

But he wasn’t going to embarass 12 with any comments that might possibly ruin the placid, content smile on the elder’s face. With a grateful nod, he took off his coat to collect the flowers before starting to carefully pluck the Truffula sprouts.

“They’re delicate now, but I’m sure they’ll grow strong someday. I heard Truffulas can grow in even the worst of conditions. I guess that’s why they mean what they do. The ability to weather out anything thrown at them, that’s awesome”

He arranged the tiny plants on his coat, pinks, yellows, orange and purples “She’s gonna love these…” He stood up, a radiant, warm smile on his face as he placed an arm around 12.

“Thanks… For the boxers and the flowers and everything else, 12. It was really great meeting you… Well technically meeting you again” he chuckled and hesitantly let go.

“I have to go soon, but I’ll see you later. Even if I’m not all this” he motioned to himself “anymore, I’ll still be around. Just prettier. So don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because I’m awesome”

[ask-the-2012-lifeguard-blog]

Zale let go before Twelve could return the hug, and the latter found himself regretting it a little. But Zale’s right; his female counterpart was here to stay, and was plenty of opportunity to spend time with her during (and perhaps after) camp.

Whatever sadness that lingered in the moment was forgotten with Zale’s line, and 12 chuckled. “You and Zel definitely made this year’s camp awesome. It was the least I could do for y’all. I’ll miss you.”

And, just because no man or child is immune from the lifeguard’s favorite show of affection, 12 reached over and softly ruffled Zale’s neatly groomed hair with a grin.

“I’ll help you decorate the flowers over at Zel’s cabin. Not only are they going to make her room look pretty, she’s gonna adore the fragrance. Man, we picked the perfect batch.”

They both made their way through the truffula field back to camp with the colorful bouquet in tow, conversing over this and that and ready to make the most of one the camp’s last days together. 

[weenurse]

He chortled as 12 lead him away. Zel had as much humility as a teaspoon. Possibly less “Oh she likes everything, pink is just her favorite- you mean Truffulas?”

And sure enough 12 brought him to the field and Zale seemed to lose his breath.

Zel had obviously been around Truffulas before but it was HIS first time physically being around the tiny little sprouts, pastel tufts of life blooming out the ground, fragrancing the air with a fresh, sweet smell. He was lost in the aroma, eyes glazing over the bright glossy colors before 12’s voice brought him back down to earth.

“They’re beautiful, they smell heavenly, I totally see why they are your favorite” and this information was safely stowed away in Zel’s mind as Zale listened to the translation.

“Perseverance… And new beginnings, huh?” he reaches for a delicate purple bloom and plucks it, then tucks it behind 12’s ear. “Well ‘perseverance’ sounds right up your alley” he stepped back to admire the contrast of purple against 12’s dark hair “and there’s always room for new beginnings… I get why they are your favorite”

He turned back to look at the field “These are perfect, 12. She’ll really love them, I’m sure of it! Thanks so much for showing this to me”

[ask-the-2012-lifeguard-blog]

12 blushed as the flower was tucked delicately behind his ear. He couldn’t help it. Maybe Zale had that sort of an effect on him.

Perseverance…the word definitely resounded with him. The strange going-ons within the camp and it’s campers certainly pushed him to his limits sometimes, But he couldn’t bear the thought of truly giving up on everyone. It was his job to help them, sure, but they’ve helped him in different ways also. Considering the rough patch he had to go through prior to signing up as a lifeguard, he couldn’t imagine what he’d be doing if not spending time with the kids and staff. It was like having a fresh start to his life…a new beginning.

“Really? That makes me glad to hear.” Likewise, knowing he’d gotten to share his now favorite flower with Zale (and soon Zel) gave him a fuzzy sort of feeling. “Let’s be gentle in picking ‘em, alright? There’s more than enough truffula in Weehawken, but I heard they can take a while to regrow.” And thankfully, Weehawken was a private property, so they’d be protected from outside interference.

[weenurse]

Believe what?

B) That I *dramatically leans into Wolf's ear* am actually a fabulous Prince in disguise!

I kid *laughs* Wolfy, I'm like the boy version of Zel. Nice to meet you 8)

[weenurse]

In here for a bit

[ask-the-2012-lifeguard-blog]

.weenurse:

*He laughs* Well even though I am beautiful and fun and kind, the whole package really *he flexes out his muscles* I don’t feel that way about me- her? Yeah, no, I leave that kinda thing to the Once-lers.

Oh um, well she likes… Amaryllis. Yeah and peonies. Anything pink really, that’s my favorite color- Hers. Sorry I’m being confusing again, I’m even confusing myself

*he passes Twelve the little book as they walked* Ok so I think we’ll keep an eye out for any flower, especially pink flowers, then figure out what they mean as we go? Oh like that!

Those are buttercup, I think? Can you check what they mean?

“Sure thing,” Twelve flips through the booklet and scans through the buttercup section. “Supposedly they represent humility, neatness, and childishness.” He snorts. “They lost us at ‘humility’. Moving on!”

He looks up at Zale. “How do you–I mean she, feel about other colors? There’s a rare sort of flower that’s only found around Weehawken. You prolly know which I’m talking about, but I’ll show ya anyways.” Twelve takes Zale by the wrist and leads him deeper into the forest. He’s had this place down by heart after working at Weehawken for so long. They come across a small field with clover-like plants sprouting in colorful batches of pink, yellow, purple, red and orange. 

“These’re one of my favorites. Truffula flowers! Let’s see what they represent.” He flips through the right page. “Hmmm…ah. They represent perseverance through hard times, and fresh beginnings.” He closes the book and smiles. “Sounds like the kind of plant I need on my wind sill.”

[weenurse]

He chortled as 12 lead him away. Zel had as much humility as a teaspoon. Possibly less "Oh she likes everything, pink is just her favorite- you mean Truffulas?"

And sure enough 12 brought him to the field and Zale seemed to lose his breath.

[weenurse]

Hey, Zel uh... Oh hey. Uh, are you... visiting family? I can come back later.

Oh Adam hi-

No no,  I'm *laughs* you probably won't believe me 

[weenurse]

Hehe, I’m not a NERD exactly, that stuff is just interesting! *He happily takes her arm and follows her lead*

You’re assistant is a Ted?? From Thneedville? That’s precious, I’ve never met an actual Ted, does he only drink air from a can? Or is that a rumor?

*He beams at her words, a gentle smile that clearly was an exact duplicate of his female counterpart. Zel’s smile*

I’m lucky to have you too. *He sits next to her on the grass* You’re a genuinely good person, Miru. I see how you look after the shyer, quieter campers, how you gradually get them out of their shell. You’re a wonderful person Miru, I’m honored to have gotten to spend time with you, I’ll never forget it- Oh!

*A shooting star broke through the sky, distracting the blond* Look Miru! Look there’s one star- and another! And another and another!

Quick Miru, make a wish!

[lunchladymiru]

Oh, you haven’t met Ted yet? Maybe you can meet him later! I don’t know about the air-in-a-can thing, but he sure loves those sea salt popsicles. I’m pretty certain he’s been keeping a whole secret stash of them somewhere in the kitchen.

-they settle down on the grass, with Miru melting more and more with Zel’s every word-

Zelllll,,, I…that means a lot coming from–huh? -turns to look at the sky- Oh. Oh! Haha, yeah!! Aren’t they so cool!? -she shifts closer to him- Okay, I’ll make a wish; don’t forget to make one for yourself, too. u u

[weenurse]

Sea Salt Popsicles?

*But she reminds him to wish, and he scrunched his eyes up tight and he reaches to clasps Miru's hand*

*He wishes and wishes till he's run out before opening his eyes to look at Miru's soft brown gaze. Belatedly realizing he took her hand, he lets go*

Sorry /// Uh, so, what'd you wish for Miru?
