William looked at the basket and the five kids that stood in front of him.
"Tina sent you guys right?" he questioned doubtfully.
"Un-un, and we've come to deliver the surprise gift basket," Ashley said with a smile.
"Surprise!" Suzanne and Ethan said together in a nervous way.
William collected the basket. Tina never gives me gifts this large. He thought but he then shrugged it off. Ehn....never mind.
"Thanks," he beamed at them and closed his door, earger to see what laid inside the basket.
"Phew!" Ethan sighed in relief, "That went well!" They all started walking to LIN's office. "I guess," Suzanne laughed. "It's not like we did anything wrong, we just changed her surprise gift a bit that's all," Ryan commented. Andrew just walked on quietly beside Ryan with his hands tucked into his pocket.
Ashley smiled.
&nbs
Suzanne, Ethan and Ashley kept glancing at Ryan as he signed his own part of the document lastly."Goodbye guys," Alex waved as they all left."Since it's just a bit past 4:00pm I was thinking we could go for some corndogs and burgers, what do you guys think?" Ethan suggested."If burgers are there count me in!" Suzanne said."Yeah, a nice light snack would be good for a while," Ashley nodded.Andrew glanced at his watch, "I could spare an a couple of minutes." Ryan looked away, "I can't make it, I'm leaving now."He then started to walk away."Where are you going?" Ashley called after him. "For once Ashley just shut up and stop snooping around people's lives," Ryan told her nastily without looking back or stopping."You have serious issues!" Ethan yelled at his departing figure till he was out of sight.
"Sure, I--" Jamie was saying but a yell cut him to an abrupt stop. A middle aged man stood at the entrance to the restaurant."Jamie! They don't pay you to stand around talking to the customers!" he scowled at Jamie before smiling a bit at Squad 10 then he returned inside the resturant."Shoot! I best get back to duty," he said then faced them, "Look I'm not having a shift tomorrow, maybe if you drop by we'll talk more. I'll help you talk to my aunt too, she tends to be cranky sometimes. Bye!"He waved and quickly ran to meet a man that had just arrived was putting on suit. The man sat outside on a single chair and table.Jamie smiled at him and collected his order before rushing inside."Well, since Jamie's helping we're sure to get the land for free," Andrew said and took a sip of his latte. "How can you be so sure?" Ethan asked him between bites.Andrew re
"So, what sort of food would we have in the party?" Suzanne asked as she took a bite of her hamburger.They were in the orchard but Ryan wasn't present."Ashley don't forget to alert us if Ryan's coming," Andrew reminded her from where he laid behind the tree."Sure!" Ashley nodded from the branch she sat and looked around."There should be icecream!" Ethan suggested. Suzanne nodded, "Of course. And we can even have a popcorn machine there too.""And cotton candy should be present," Ashley suggested.Andrew was noting everything down. "Apart from snacks we'll have proper food like rice, cheese burger, cheese doodle, moon cake, fish and chips, macaroni, pasta, ramen, sushi, dumplings, pies, toast, bacon and eggs, ribs, pot roast--" he said as he jotted them down."It sounds really yummy!" Ethan licked his lips."Quiet,
For once Jamie wasn't putting on apron with pockets on it. He was in his casual wears of a blue and white stripped shirt on blue pants with white sneakers.He was already seated on a table that was located beside the exit doors.Jamie was casually sipping with a white from a huge glass cup of Coca-Cola."Hey Jamie!" Ashley waved as they approached his table.Her short bright yellow long sleeved gown made her movements as she walked towards the green headed boy seem freely. As usual Ashley had a brown leather jacket tied around her waist.Her blonde hair was held into a pretty complex but messy ponytail held back by a huge brown hair pin that had lots of glitter on it.Her brown boots came to a halt beside Jamie."Hey," she smiled again."Hey, um...sorry I didn't catch your name the last time we met," he laughed sheepi
"Are you sure you want to go to Potter's field?" The taxi driver asked a bit concerned as they neared the destination.Andrew sat up front in the passenger seat beside the driver.Suzanne, Ethan, Ashley and Jamie were all cramped up at the back seat.Andrew tore his gaze away from his laptop that was placed on his laps and faced the middle aged driver. "Yes, we have unresolved business there," he replied in his usual tone and went on with his work.The driver shrugged as the car came to halt in front of the field.They all got down and Andrew paid the fare. The driver murmured something about crazy kids before zooming off."Thanks for paying for everyone, Andrew." Ashley smiled at him."Un-un," he replied nonchlantly not even glancing at her once."Woa! This place is massive!" Ethan gaped as he gazed at the beginning
"Quiet!" Snow blew her whistle hard and the noise came to an halt. All the other Squads shot her annoyed looks but she wasn't daunted by it, instead she kept her hands on her hip."Geez, we're supposed to wait for the bus quietly." She gave them a wry look before settling down on her seat, satisfied.They resumed their discussions but it was in a hushed tone."Girl, you're a terror!" Ava laughed as she patted Snow's knees. Snow closed her eyes and smiled, "I try my best.""Apparently people would never observe decorum except it's forced on them, so yes, the need of a dictator is necessary," Janet said and nodded slightly."I agree, a leader figure is always needed," Judith said.Luke yawned, "Man I'm tired of waiting, when's the bus going to come?"Ava looked around. Lots of Squads were present. There was Squad 1, Squad 4,
"Your mission is to walk the Cortney's family dogs for twenty minutes," Alex informed them once they entered."Awwn, dogs again?!" Ethan complained."Dogs? Like how many are we talking about?" Ashley asked with a smile.Alex looked from one person to another and chuckled.5 minutes later."Five dogs?! C'mon!" Ethan groaned tugging his black hair again."Mr Cortney why'd you have five dogs all at a goal?" Ashley asked the man as they all stood in front of his white mini-van.The man laughed."Actually, we're all dog people in my family and I had like four kids who all wanted dogs so...yeah, also Tabita, my little girl wanted an extra pup because the others were all grown up so...," He laughed again.His wife came out of the house that stood before them and gave her husband
"Alright, you stayed a bit later than I thought you would but its okay," Alex nodded at them once they returned."Yeah, some people, thought it was a nice idea to take the dog for a run some couple of times," Suzanne said looking at Ethan with a bad eye.They were all drenched with sweat except Andrew.Ethan winced and moved back, "Stop blaming me, it took off by itself!""Now, that's enough," Alex said as he looked up at them. He pushed forward the document they were to sign in."Just sign and leave okay? I have lots of work to do." He gesculated to his unsorted drawer."Sure thing, LIN," Ashley said with a smile as she grabbed the pen off the table and signed under her name first. When they had all signed, they waved him bye and stepped out of the building.His receptionist said hello to them as the walked out.
