Majoree snorted with amusement. "I can definitely imagine those two killing each other over that... you sure you want to go that far?"

"Definitely," Fawna said to Kaydi in earnest. "We definitely need to do that. Amazing idea."

---

Evan smiled. "Everyone's coming along nicely."

---

Kaydi feeling ecstatic said, "Oh I'm so happy that you like my idea Fawna", Kaydi looked at the gazebo from the window, "I'm hoping to get everything set up before the afternoon comes", Kaydi said.

Meanwhile, Greg relaxed at the kitchen eating the berries from the garden, "Bocce, I never heard about that game before, I wish I can try it later today, hopefully I can take on Luther and see how amazing the athletics Luther is", Greg said excitedly.

---

Fawna nodded thoughtfully. "I could help you," they offered. "I'd love to work with you! And we could talk about stuff! Like our promises! That'd be cool right?" They tilted their head to the side. Their expression reminded Majoree of a little kid, looking for approval of a parent.

Majoree tore her gaze away and instead gazed out the window, propping up her chin on her hand. It really was a beautiful day. They would've liked it.

---

Kaydi smiled, "I will glad to have some assistance Fawna, I might throw in some snacks along the way just to make things more awesome and oh so exciting, also I think it will be awesome for the patrons to check out the garden so that they will be amazed at the vegetables and berries that is at the garden".

---

Fawna smiled. "Showing off your work, eh?"

(EVENT:
NAME: BOCCE
TIME: 5 MINUTES)

Evan smiled. The announcement was right on time.

---

Excited to hear about the bocce event, Kaydi smiled and said, "The bocce event is about to happen, and I can tell it's a match between Evan and Greg or maybe Mouse vs me", Kaydi said in a surprising tone.

Greg left the kitchen and walked straight to the doorway leading to the outside, "Bocce huh? I might see who I am facing in the interesting event, I hope I don't face Carrie", Greg said with a slight glimmer of hope

---

Majoree's head snapped up. She stared at Kaydi for a second.

Carrie's POV
"Sooooo- Luther-" Dang it. How was she supposed to figure this out? "What do you hope to achieve while you're here?" Hopefully a safe question. But what if he refused to answer?...
Harmony's POV
Harmony put her food down and began to slowly pedal her way out of the room. Okay, okay. Hopefully no one would notice... augh, that was just the thing.
Delta's POV
Delta groaned. Everything was too peaceful! He decided to try to flip the table. "HURRRGGHHH- URRRRRGH! Wow! This is- heavy, haha!" Great. This wasn't easy. What would be the point of flipping it anyway? He decided to keep trying.

---

"Make friends." Luther smiled. "That's what this place is for, isn't it?" But he was watching Carrie. Very, very closely.

---

Carrie's POV
Carrie frowned. "Hmm. Do you really want something as simple as that, Luther? You all know what we all want. We want to get out of this fricking place. and we'd do anything to get out. Isn't that right?"

---

Evan could hear their conversation. He smiled. Great, people already loathing this place. He chuckled as 5 minutes slowly passed.

---

Luther's smile vanished. He stared at Carrie.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" he asked, an edgy tone in his voice.

---

Carrie's POV
Carrie narrowed her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me. You can act 'nicey-nice' around everyone all you want, but it has something to do with your promise, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?" She jabbed her index finger in his face, and then immediately assumed a look of sweetness and serenity. "Or maybe not. Right? Would you pleeease oh so kindly tell me?"
Harmony's POV
Harmony made her way out of the room, and she frowned. What could she do? Could she really... do that? It's not that she had much of an idea where she was going, but she just kept pedaling, and feeling the walls, trying to figure out where she was. Eventually, she felt what seemed to be the side of a... book? Good. The library... right... the library... She stiffened.
Delta's POV
Delta groaned, and continued trying to flip the table. Why was no one paying any attention!!?!?!

---

Kaydi was setting up the bocce game outside and she wonders if someone will take her on in a game, "If I take on Evan, then it will be very interesting but if I take on Fawna I prefer it will be a friendly match", she said with a slight hope.

Meanwhile, Greg headed outside and grabbed some tables to set up the snacks as well as tea and coffee for later this afternoon, "Excellent, all that is left is the coffee and tea, also possibly I can find something to place some snacks", so Greg placed the tables outside and returned inside, he headed to the storage room and found a vintage popcorn machine, "Perfect, this will work perfectly", so Greg took out the vintage popcorn machine and brought it outside. After bringing the popcorn machine, he heard a commotion in the kitchen, Greg raced to the kitchen and he sees Delta, "Hey Delta, there's going to be a bocce event, and if I were you, please control your emotions in a calm manner".

Luther

---

His stance had changed completely. He was now at the defense, instinctively curling back from her, his fists clenched near his stomach. His eyes had become small and shifty, searching her, examining her for a single clue.

"What're you trying to say?" he hissed softly. "Something about your promise to do with mine, maybe?" His eyes narrowed. "You're not... saying we're one in the same, are we? Are you daring to imply that?" The accent had returned. His casual, lenient tone was forever gone. He was just glaring at her.

Fawna

---

"You want to be friendly with me?" Fawna's voice piped up in her ear. The person stood, their hair as shaggy as ever, eyes shining with hope, right behind Kaydi. They were smiling their head off. "So... you missed me?"

In the tree, a small bird gave a cry as it fluttered to the ground where it began to peck for worms.

Majoree

---

Majoree was sitting outside, kneeling in the grass, gazing off into the distance. There was a quiet, tired light in her red eyes... she closed them-

A face... she was looking for a face... but of who?

Scfhfh. A faint scuffling noise from the grass.

Hm?

She opened her eyes. It was a vole. The small rodent scurried along the yard, turning its little nose this way and that. Majoree got a glimpse of its dark, beady eyes- There was something intelligent in there. Something sly and cunning. She'd never liked voles. Not the way she liked mice.

The rodent continued scampering forward. She watched its every movement. A snuffling at a dandelion- a peering between grass blades-

Suddenly, the creature tripped-

And fell flat on its face.

Majoree laughed.

It whipped upwards.

Their eyes met.

And then it scrambled away, leaving her alone. Majoree watched, her heart in her throat as it disappeared. Come back, she almost wanted to say. This place can be yours. I just want to watch you. I just want to be your friend.

But of course it didn't, and disappeared into the grass in the distance.

Majoree got to her feet, brushing her leggings clean of grass clippings and waited for a few moments, hoping the rodent would come back.

When it didn't, she heaved a sigh and turned around. She had something else to attend. Something more human. Something... less Parsnip.

That was who's face she couldn't see.

Parsnip.

And now it wouldn't go away.

She broke into a run. The gazebo was coming into sight. And... someone else's face. Greg's. Return to the living, she heard a voice whisper. They're dead. Whatever they left with you should be dead too. But it wasn't- she couldn't make it. She fell into a trot as she approached Greg.

"Hey," she called softly. "Getting ready for the match?" She met his eyes, hoping he wouldn't recognize the look in her eyes. Not sadness. Not pain.

Fear.

Carrie's POV
Carrie sighed. "Look, all I'm saying is... maybe we can help each other out. I don't like you either, Lutherrrrr." She flicked his nose with her index finger. "Isn't that what you want? Help?"
Harmony's POV
"..." A book. Harmony picked it up. Unfortunately, of course she couldn't read it. That's when something occurred to her... Someone could easily deceive me; considering I'm blind. I'd better be careful... It was a shame she couldn't really read it, or so much as look at it... still... she could feel the pages and the binding in her hands. Was she really going to...
Delta's POV
Delta, in irritation, pushed all of the dishes off of the table, and stormed out of the room. GREAT. This wasn't going to work. This was getting frustrating!

Luther

---

"I don't want nor need your help," he retorted- then hesitated. "What are you implying?" he asked, a little more quietly. "Is this about your promise? Or are you just trying to get information out of me." He met her gaze, and appeared to be struggling with himself- trying to be finding something.

---

Kaydi said politely to Fawna, "Well Fawna, I want you to experience a fun game of bocce, it is almost similiar to attending a basketball game at a local arena", Kaydi said.

Meanwhile, Greg made final preparations for the bocce game, "I hope Luther will come soon, but I'm curious why he wanted to have a chat with me", Greg thought
