"To the pod room!" He beamed, grabbing her hand with his own giggles as he lead the way. "As for... WHEN we have it happen... I'm still not sure! But... but! Last night Robert said something about... about getting my guitar back to me tomorrow! I'm er... not sure what state it'll be in but by then I should know a good plan of action, right?" He beamed triumphantly down at her, full of more excitement and mirth than she had seen in him yet.

Sasha giggled giddily as she squeezed Jerry's hand, eyes widening in excitement.
"I can't wait to hear you play, Jerry!" His enthusiasm was happiness was contagious, and Sasha was feeling more light-hearted just being around him. "This is a good first step, right?" She nodded, waving an index finger around.
Sasha cleared her throat delicately.
"Do you know Harrison?"

"Harrison?" Jerry's smile faltered, softening a bit around the edges, "Oh yeah, he is.... er... was... um. A good friend of mine." He wasn't quite sure where they stood now, "But um. He's er. Candace's best friend. A good guy. Most reliable Moon I know of." He cleared his throat, opening the pod-room door for her. "Why?"

Sasha slipped into the pod room when Jerry opened the door for her, readjusting the brightly-patterened bag she carried over her shoulder.
"We ah.. we exchanged words," she mumbled haltingly. "I feel bad, so um. I.. figured I should apologize. Maybe uh. You know.. do something nice for him."
Sasha moved further into the pod room, glancing over her shoulder at Jerry.

The pod room seemed as quiet as ever- it didnt' look like anyone was waking up today. Even so, Jerry set down his own gatherings from the Life Lab onto one of the desks and looked over the paperwork for anything of note, "Well... he's very fond of that little fat unicorn he keeps in the minipet labs. Maybe make it a collar or something? He likes pink. And uh. Horrible colors." He smiled, "I'm sure he'd like that."

Sasha followed suit, placing her bag on the desk near Jerry's pilfered loot. Make a collar? Sasha's mouth pinched slightly as she thought about the best way to make such a thing happen. She'd never quite grasped the art of sewing, much to her papa's dismay. Ah well, at least she had a few ideas to work with now.
"Jerry," Sasha grinned at him impishly - at least as impish as she could manage - before bracing a hand on her hip, "are you saying that pink is a horrible color?"
She gave a little laugh before emptying out her bag: crayons, pencils, brightly colored paper and two bags of dried apple chips she'd nabbed from the vending machine.

"Not horrible at all! Just... not what one would expect from him initially, ahahaha... personally, my favorite's Orange." He smiled. "I... I don't know if it's ALWAYS been orange but." He picked at the crayons curiously, "After trials, I've definitely um. Grown attached to it. My scarf is orange too. And I always looked good in earthy tones. Besides the fact it's a bright, happy color, don't you think?"

"Oh, yes," Sasha nodded, beaming brightly at Jerry. "Orange is lovely. A vibrant color. I like pink," she continued almost wistfully, taking a moment to surreptitiously peer at the shell-pink color that Candace had painted her nails, "and light blue, like my scarf. Pale purple is nice, too."
Sasha gave Jerry a meaningful glance. "I like most colors. Actually.. hah, I can't think of a color I don't like, you know?" She chuckled under her breath, moving to stand closer to Jerry before asking, "Where do we start?"

"Well, we decided to leave the dates blank for now... and... I haven't exactly figured out a good place for us to meet... maybe the practice fields? Should be enough room and we won't make too much racket there, right?" His smile perked up again as he pulled up a chair and a dark purple crayon to start making notes, "So.... date and time blank for now, location... do we call it a choir or a band? Or both?"

Candace whistled cheerfully as she ventured down the halls toward the pod room. She had her iPod, her hiPhone, and several books. Candace was going to make damn sure her mind didn't wander while she sat in pod duty. Alone. One of two of the most boring damn duties on this entire list, but someone had to do it. Uuuuugh.
She was about to walk in when she heard voices, stopping just short of the door and leaning in enough to listen.
"Where do we start?" Sasha? We? Who was--
"Well, we decided to leave the dates blank for now..." Oh god. Jerry. Of course she was with Jerry. Of course.
Candace frowned, putting her phone on silent and pressing back against the wall. She didn't like them together, especially alone...but...would Sasha actually do what she promised Candace she'd do? She was torn. She wanted to go in but...she had to know, and she would never know if she walked in.
Dishonesty often brought undesirable results, but it was sometimes the only way. She kept quiet, eyes on the floor as she hugged her books to her chest and listened in on the conversation of the two inside.

Sasha picked up a rich pink crayon, tapping it against her chin as she thought about Jerry's question. "Well. Hmm. There's going to be instruments and song... I'm not sure which word is more fitting." She giggled softly, waving the crayon around with one hand as she went in for a piece of paper with the other. Sasha promptly started drawing a heart on the paper. She began to fill it in as she continued thinking out loud.
"Musical ... ensemble?" That maybe sounded kind of ridiculous, and Sasha frowned just slightly as she drew a couple of decorative swirls around the heart.
"Maybe band-choir would be best. I mean, after everyone joins up," she paused and grabbed a baby blue crayon, "we'll have to come up with a real name, right?"

"Hmmmm..." Jerry tapped his chin with the crayon, staring down at his notes, "Mmmmaaybe.... 'Hunter Performance Troupe?" He offered but shook his head, "That sounds like we're putting on a play." Although, if they could get Robert involved....
No. No. Just keep your goals achievable.
For now.
"Maybe we'll just stick to Choir-slash-band? Well. There's more than one flier, we could call it something different on each, ONE of them should work..."

Sasha scrunched her face up at the name Jerry offered - but the expression was gone as quickly as it arrived. What a horrible, long name. Sasha cleared her throat, scrawling long delicate whorls along the edge of the paper.
"Choir-band is fine, I think. It's got.. You.. ah. You have a little something -- here, may I?" Without waiting for an answer, she reached forward and plucked a small piece of lint out of his hair.
"Fluffball in your hair!" She grinned at him before tossing the piece of fuzz to the side, turning her attention back to the matter at hand.
"We'll just ahhh.. write choir on some and hunter on the other, like you said." Sasha worried her lower lip between her teeth, looking quite thoughtful. "It'll be um. You know, a good way to get the word out, right? At least until you figure out the whens and wheres." Sasha tucked a long piece of hair back behind her ear before reaching forward to nab a purple crayon.

"I suppose it COULD be any time, really... it's just an initial audition- OH I guess we should-" His face went red as she suddenly was reaching, his grip on the utensil tightening a moment before the crayon suddenly snapped between his fingers and he laughed *a bit too hard* at her riddance of said lint. "Ahaha h-how did that get there, huh?" He cleared his throat, pulling out a fresh piece of paper to try to start what he hoped was a cheery and inviting banner, leaning over it intently. Oh god oh god she was... so adorable. How was this even going to work? Just.... concentrate on. On. On getting things done, right. Perfect gentleman.

...Absolutely nothing. Candace breathed out a quiet chuckle as she shook her head and tilted it back against the wall, staring up at the ceiling. Sasha was perfect for him. It wasn't fair. She should be happy, she should want Jerry to be happy with someone who made him happy and who was a better match for him than she ever was or would ever be, but she couldn't help but feel territorial and jealous over him. He was hers. She at least wanted a chance.
"You have a little something -- here, may I?" Candace's heart skipped a beat as she shoved off the wall and turned to face the door, eyes wide. Is she for real?! That's the worst ******** pick up line in the wor--what was that snapping noise? Wh..why was Jerry laughing he would laugh like that when she was getting intimate with him and he oh god no what the he--
...A..
A fluffball...in his hair...
My, my! Jumpy, are we? Honestly, I don't know what it is about him that you want so badly. You told him yourself, H gave you what you wanted. That Dakota boy could too. And many other men, I'm sure. You could travel the world in just a matter of hours and be with so many different exotic men who could all make you feel more wanted than he ever-- Stop that. Atropos chuckled. Fine.
Candace sighed, fixing her hair a moment and checking the rest of her outfit before she shook away her anxiety and strode into the room. Act cool, act surprised.
Candace had been looking down at her books and appearing to be deciding which one she wanted to read first when she heard voices and noticed there was someone else in the room with her. She stopped, looking up at the two with a very convincing look of surprise. "Oh...uh..hey. I didn't realize...uh.." She looked back at the door, rubbing her lips together before turning back to Sasha and Jerry. "I can come back later...what's that?" She gestured to the papers and--what the hell were those crayons? Oh right, Sasha mentioned this before.
