A Clearing In The Preserve, Thursday Evening

[puppy_fair]

This evening, there was a bit more activity going on in the preserve than the usual scampering and frolicking of the teal deer and the alots. Tonight, there were paper lanterns strung up through the branches and along the trees, there were tables set up in the clearing, and there was music. If it lacked a banner and balloons, they were hoping the glimmer of the lantern lights in the darkness made up for it.

Ino was turning seventeen, and there was only one thing to be done about it. Zack had sent out the e-mail yesterday, and he and Karla had taken care of the food and the cakes and the decorations, and, once Zack managed to get Ino to join them, they were going to celebrate!

[Up a little early for PARTY TIME goodness! Open!]

And that would be Karla, laughing at Zack. A lot. "Zack! That channel is awful!"

"It was either that or the Discovery Channel show about people fishing for crabs!"

... Which was actually a weirdly compelling show in its own way, but Zack had to change the channel from that one before he got any ideas about leaving ShinRa to become a fisherman in Earth's Northern Atlantic, instead.

KARLA THOUGHT THAT BECOMING A FISHERMAN WAS VERY MUCH IN ZACK'S BEST INTERESTS. YES. GO WITH THAT CAREER CHANGE!

"Oooh, that show is really cool!" Karla said, unwitting of the narration. "I get so nervous sometimes, watching it!"

"Like when the storms kick up and stuff, right?"

Stop bouncing, Zack. It wasn't helping you explain why you were watching that Heartland channel or whatever it was called.
