((we can pretend it's fall? and the apples are ripe i guess? since that's where you said Momo was most likely to appear. Ask is about 6 here since he's close to growing))
Ask was in the orchard picking apples by himself quite happily. He had a two baskets, a big one that Shiny would come pick up when full and a smaller basket to gather apples in. He also had a ladder to help in climbing the trees.
Shiny was off picking a different type of apple but would be around later. For the mean time Ask was enjoying the silent presence of the trees and happy to hear all the birds and insects flying around. He'd always adored the great outdoors and the day was cloudless and cool, perfect.

[Moira would be about 5 or so.]
Moira had managed to sneak out of the house yet again, though it seemed to be getting harder for her to sneak out with Yoko's stringed companion trying to find out more about everyone in the house, but she managed it! Panting softly once she stumbled into the orchard, the pink haired girl finally looked around to where she had run to. Eyes wide in shock, she couldn't help but stare.
It was an Apple Orchard! She had seen them on the television, but she had never heard of one being close to her house! Oh happy days! Moira could sneak out of the house and eat her fill of apples without anyone else wondering where the apples for grandmothers apple pie had went. With a big grin spreading across her lips, she wandered over to the closer tree and looked it up and down before attempting to climb up it.
Three inches up and......
She falls.
Trying again, she gets about five inches off the ground before falling and in her frustration, she kicks the tree.

Ask couldn't quite place it, but something had changed about this peaceful retreat. That is until he noticed the Pink thing climbing about 5 inches and then dropping. Oh, that's a girl. Right. Well the last thing he was going to do was to go over there and talk to her so he stayed where he was in the apple tree picking apples.
He did however keep an eye on her hoping she wouldn't get hurt with her haphazard climbing style. She would definitely benefit from lessons... or a ladder.

Still fuming from the fact that she couldn't get up the tree nor any apples from kicking it, Moira stormed a few feet away before coming back, putting on a pair of leather fingerless gloves that she had gotten [somewhere]. Smirking, she grabbed hold of the trunk of the tree and awkwardly started to make her way up.
Right hand, left foot, left hand, right foot.
Over and over until she got to the lowest branch. "Aha!" Moira shouts happily as she grabs hold of the branch and crawls onto it with a happy grin.

Ask noticed that the girl had reached the bottom branch and mentally congratulated her. His small basket was full by now so he descended from the tree to dump them into the bigger basket. The big basket was about a fourth of the way full, he still had a lot of work to do if he wanted enough apples to make applesauce with and still have enough left over for pies. Shiny was going to teach him how to make it all. He was looking forward to it.

It was only when Ask had dumped the basket of apples into the larger one that Moira had noticed that she wasn't alone. Eyes going wide as she saw how many apples were in the basket, she continued to watch the boy with her one visible eye before she spoke up.
"Hello!" she said cheerfully, a wide grin on her lips. If someone else was in the orchard, it meant that they liked food too. Right?
Right.

Ask looked up from dumping the apples into the big basket. Looks like the girl had finally noticed him.
"Hello." He said with a small shy smile and wave.
Ask fiddled with the basket nervously, meeting new people always made him jittery. Once the meeting was over and he got to know the person it wasn't so bad, but first meetings were so hard.

Snatching an apple from the tree she was in, Moira shifted about on the branch before jumping down, landing off center which caused her to fall and then roll for a little before she managed to get back on her feet and run over to the boy.
"I'm Moira, who're you?" She asked, apparently having spent quite a bit of time with her brother Lucian.

"I'm Ask. Nice to meet you." He told her seriously. He was impressed she'd jumped from that height and a little intimidated that she'd run right over. Maybe that was just him being silly though.

"Watchyoo doing here?" Moira asked before taking a bite of the crisp, juicy apple that she had. Looking around, she had noticed that there were no adults around. Funny.. every time she went outside to 'esplore', no adults seemed to be present. It wasn't really a bad thing to notice, but it wasn't also a good thing either.
With no adults around to see what was going on, the little terror that was the pink haired girl could do whatever she wanted, or felt like doing that day. Granted it was usually eating.

"Picking apples?" Ask half asked as though it should be obvious. "My mom's going to teach me how to make applesauce and pies. She says they're better with fresh apples." He nudged the big basket with his toe and shifted the smaller basket in his arms shyly.

Moira's eyes go wide when she hears pies and applesauce being mentioned, almost dropping the apple she was eating then. "Fresh pies..?" She murmured, getting closer to Ask before getting probably uncomfortably close to his face, "Can I join you? I like pies and applesauce.. I kin pick apples too! I pwomise not to hurt them!" she asks, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
Oh if she could join in the making and eating of the food it would just make her week! Sure, the pink haired terror ate almost anything in sight and had a black hole for a stomach but freshly made food was the best thing before and after sliced bread.

Ask took a few steps back to regain his personal space bubble. "Um I'd have to ask Mommy when she comes back..." He looked at the little girl strangely and hoped that if Shiny said no the little girl wouldn't hurt anyone. "But you can help me pick apples if you want."

"You came here wif your mum?" Moira asked, tilting her head in curiosity, seeing as she had never really spent time with either of her mothers aside from eating and being carried to bed. Other than that, the terror was almost always on her own... unless followed by her brother.

"Yeah, she's picking a different color apple in the next orchard over." He puffed out his chest in pride at being responsible enough to pick apples by himself.
