Summertime

One of these mornings, I'm going to rise up singing
Who: Jackie OT Anyone
Where: A Park
When: Mid August

At times, she didn't want to admit it, but she missed the outdoors. When she was younger, she was always outdoors. She played games with her friends, went fishing in the nearby river and made her mother angry by ruining her clothing.

When she got older, she stayed indoors more, and forgot how to play. Now the young woman sat on a bench in the park, and thought back to those times. It was before she realized that life could get hard. She had a lot to be thankful for right now, so she focused on that. Things would get worse before they got better.

But they would get better. They had to.

The singer sat back, and watched birds for a moment.

Fancy was making her way home, a little tipsy, but not drunk. It was hot out, almost unbearably so but not quite. She caught sight of someone in the distance sitting on a bench and stared after them a moment before she realized she knew who it was. She crossed over the grounds to come up behind, as silently as possible. She took a cigarette out of her purse and stuck it in between her lips while pulling out her lighter. It snapped to life with a mechanical click and she took a moment to light her cigarette and take a drag before speaking.

"A woman shouldn't be out this late by herself Jackie."

	Jackie turned to see who it was, relieved that it was Fancy. "I know. I think I lost track of time. How are you, Fancy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fancy smiled at her friend and came around the bench to sit beside her. "I'm alright, just heading home from work. What brings you out so late?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not really sure." Jackie admitted "I came out earlier, and was just thinking about things- didn't realize how late it got. I'm glad to see you though! " (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am glad to see you too!" Fancy took a drag on her cigarette and turned her head a moment so as not to blow smoke in her friend's face. "Though these days I don't suppose either of us had much competition for the prize." she chuckled. "Tell me, what were you thinking about that distracts you so?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jackie tried to think of a safe way to say what she was thinking. If she were somewhere private, she'd tell Fancy that she was worried about the near future, and worried about what would happen with the small group of resistance they were forming.

Instead, she tried to simplify it all.

"Sometimes, I miss where I used to live- just the quiet, though... and I'm worried about... a garden. Flowers... They're all planted together, and you expect them to grow strong, but they might not grow, or weeds choke some out. Sometimes, they get trampled, or picked."

Jackie wasn't the best at metaphors.

	Fancy's forehead wrinkled and she tilted her head in confusion. No Jackie wasn't the best at metaphors, but Fancy got it after a few moments. "True, but it's also true of any flower, in any garden." Fancy chuckled, "Besides, there's plenty of manure around for this garden." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jackie laughed. "Thank you. That's the first laugh that I have had today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fancy smiled. "You're quite welcome. I'm glad I could provide you with one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sometimes it's hard to smile and laugh." Jackie said "I need a few more friends. I'm just worried... I don't know. Have you been doing anything fun?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fancy_lamorne 2008-08-23 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Fancy thought of her recent adventures with the Resistance and she cuckled. "I don't think 'fun' is an right word. Exciting perhaps." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh..." Jackie nodded "Well, exciting is better than horrible. I've got to travel again soon"

It was easier for Jackie to travel- mostly because she was a performer. She always had a lot of luggage, which everyone knew was full of costumes.

She usually came back with things that were needed.

"I'm going to Portugal again. I could pick up a trinket for you, if you would like."

	Fancy looked sad when her friend said she was going away, again. "Yes, I would like that. And I'll miss you terribly you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll miss you too." Jackie said "But I shouldn't be gone for very long, and- Oh promise me that you'll be careful. Please?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fancy thought about for a moment and then laughed lightly. "I will try, my friend, I will honestly try." (Reply to this) (Parent)
