Archery Practice
Drea goes to teach her niece's and nephew's archery class. Eden want to tag along despite Drea's reluctance
"Where are you going D?" Georgie questions as Drea rushes around her room grabbing different items from a drawer that was usually locked.
"I told my brother I would substitute for Danny's and Molly's archery teacher tonight, but it's been so long since I used my bow and arrow that I can't find all the arrows" Drea says with irritation a navy bow hanging on her arm along with a quiver of four arrows.
"Well that's nice of you. Eden's going to be disappointed when she realizes you aren't going to be here to watch that new pony movie." Georgie says and Drea nods.
"Yeah I know, but I'll only be gone an hour." Drea says as she turns into a mini horse. Anyways I got to go pick up the kids. See you when I get home." Drea says as she starts to head out as Eden comes in.
"Aunt Drea, where are you going!" Eden asks as Drea shrugs, taking another step out the door with Tomo at her side.
"I'm teaching an archery class tonight Drea explains quickly but as she starts to trot off she feels the six year old on her back.
"I go with you. I wanna learn arrow shooting too!" Eden says and Drea sighs. She shakes the girl off her back gently.
"Your mom would kill me if I taught you how to shoot an arrow at six. And if she didn't then your dad certainly would." Drea told the girl who just climbed back onto the pinto pony.
"Please Aunt Drea! I want to shoot just like you, Molly, and Danny. Please, please, please, Aunt Drea, it would be so much fun!" Eden says and Drea sighs.
"Fine, but not a word about this to either of your parents?" Drea asks and Georgie smiles from her spot.
"I'll come too, someone has to make sure you stay out of trouble." Georgie says and Drea shook her head with a bit of annoyance.
"Alright then come on, but hurry it up." Drea says turning into a cheetah so she could go a bit faster.
……….
"And I'm here with three minutes to spare!" Drea huffs outside and skids to a stop Eden still on her back as Daimen just chuckles at his younger sister.
"Why didn't you just take a car like a normal person?" Daimen asks and Drea smirks at her older brother gently slapping him with her tail.
"Oh come on Daimen, when have I ever been normal?" Drea asks, turning back into a human quickly before setting her stuff down.
"Molly, Danny!" Eden says excitedly to her older friends who were already shooting at the targets in front of them with ease. Once their last arrow flies they turn around excitedly.
"Eden, what are ya doing here?" Molly asks putting her bow down so as not to break it. Daniel does the same.
"I wanna learn how to shoot like you!" Eden exclaims and the two children smile at the youngest as Molly does her ponytail again.
"Yay, shooting is so much fun, but first your hair needs to be up in a ponytail." Molly says, grabbing her extra scrunchie and pulling Eden's hair up in a high ponytail as the other kids came in.
"Hi Mr. Mikami, wait who's that, where is Mrs. Hannah?" A teen asks his bow and hand.
"She had some personal issues to deal with, but my sister will be teaching the class until she returns." Daimen says and the kids just kind of snickers.
"What you guys don't think I'm worthy of teaching you. Well watch this." Drea says and Molly and Daniel clap excitedly at their Aunt.
"Watch Aunt Drea Eden, she is about to do the coolest thing ever!" Molly screeches excitedly and she sees her Aunt chuckle. Eden just nods looking at her Aunt who grabs the arrows and one by one hits every bullseye. Causing the kids who weren't the twins to gape
"Don't look like that! Auntie Drea can do anything! She's been shooting arrows since she was our age" Daniel tells the other kids proudly as he once again grabs his bow and arrow Eden just looks at the arrows her Aunt had shot. It was amazing.
"I want to do that." Eden says excitedly going to grab a bow before her Aunt steps in her way with a stern look.
"Nuh uh, you're too young to shoot that kind of bow. Use this one." Drea told her and Eden nods before looking at the bow and arrow in confusion it looked different from Molly's and Danny's
"Aunt Drea, why is the arrow foam?" Eden asks in utter confusion as Drea sighs, blowing her whistles so the other kids could start practicing.
"It's a safety precaution you're too young to use an actual bow and arrow so you'll have to use this one for now. I promise as soon as you're old enough. I'll let you shoot a real one. Now come on over here." Drea says and Eden huffs, she was always too young to do anything she saw her cool aunts do.
She couldn't shoot, she didn't have powers, and she was too young for almost everything except for girls day and it was so irritating all she wanted to do was fit in with her aunts and cousins.
Molly could tell the younger girl was upset though as she collected the arrows she had shot one the whistle blew three times. "Y'know Auntie Drea wouldn't let us use the real arrows either when we first started at your age." Molly told her young cousin who looked up at her.
"Really, but you two are good at shooting, you almost hit the target every time! " Eden exclaims in shock Danny just rolls his eyes fondly at the child who clearly didn't understand that the twins had been doing this for years.
"Yeah, but we started out just like you with a stuffed arrow. It was to keep us safe, and as we learned we were able to start using real arrows, now we're really good, but not as good as we want to be. One day we want to hit all the bullseyes just like Auntie Drea!" Daniel exclaims and Eden nods.
"Yeah me too!" Eden says excitedly as she tries to shoot one of the stuffed arrows. Before Drea comes up behind her.
"One day you'll all be able to, but first I need to teach Eden how to hold this thing before she pokes someone's eye out." Drea says, kneeling down to Eden's level. Teach Eden the ropes of archery.
……..
"No Eden, not like that pull it back just a bit farther and then aim! You can do it!" Molly cheers on the young girl who had been shooting arrows for a while now. Most of the other kids had left, but Eden was determined to get a bullseye just like her older cousins had earlier.
"Okay E, now let it go!" Molly says leaning next to her as she makes sure Eden's aim was right. Eden did as told and the arrow flew hitting the small yellow circle causing everyone to cheer.
"Yay you did it! That was amazing Eden!" Daniel cries out playfully shoving his younger friend who laughs with glee running over to Drea.
"I did it Auntie did you see, did you see?!" Eden says jumping up and down excitedly and Drea laughs. She was proud of all of her kids. Although she knew she was probably about to get killed by the Stone's. Seeing Eden this happy and spending quality time with her was worth it though.
"I saw! You did an amazing job, Mesu one day. All three of you are gonna be just as amazing as I am. Now what do you say to some celebratory ice cream?" Drea questions causing the kids to squeal.
"Yes please!" The all scream causing their Aunts to laugh it had been a fun practice and Eden couldn't wait for more especially if it meant playing with her four favorite people
