Today was a fun and exciting day for the brothers! Well– at least for some of them–

Every year in autumn when the time comes, Grandma has them organize all the leaves that have fallen down from trees nearby into separate piles and eventually into trash bags

It was a chore she had them help her to finish, but also a fun traditional activity she thought she'd come up with in anticipation of the upcoming holidays and just to spend time together in the breezy crisp autumn weather

They had gotten started ten minutes ago but.. well.. not everyone was outside just yet—

..

Clay stops when he hears the sound loop and the crying get slightly louder, turning around to see a familiar tuft of pink hair sticking out from behind the couch

C: Floyd?? starts walking to where he is what the hell are you—

JD: DOW– Floyd's stick hits him in his face and he falls back into the leaf pile he was organizing

F: ...oh hi Rhonda :D

R: blinks slowly

JD: says from underneath the pile um..OW– I think I lost a FRICKIN EYEBALL—

C: No can do– anyways come on Floyd walks away

F: Oohhh where we going?? follows after him

C: Anywhere until we can figure out what to do next– throws his stick to the side

C: What in everything good makes you think someone is gonna want a pie made out of mud—

F: Because we gotta pretenddddd Clay stands up while holding the pie in his hands

F: Remember? smiles and shoves it in his hands

C: ...I did say that–but EEWWWW! What am I even supposed to do with this!

F: shrugs I dunno

C: Hm, welp– anything to get this slop outta my hands! skips over to the chair and sees Grandma walking into the pod

C: Ay Grandma you want some mud slop I mean pie?!

C: laughs Yeah I like that! OOH, let's make one for Spruce!

F: g A s P Yeah!!! To make him feel better!

C: Well in reality it'd kill him but YEAH LET'S DO IT!!

Clay grabs Floyd's hand again and they run back to the mud to make another pie

Rosiepuff comes back outside and sees the two of them running and laughing, smiling to see them bonding and having fun

...until she got over to her chair that was knocked over and looked like it was covered in shit–

RP: Wh– what the– alright WHO knocked over my chair and put...... sludge all over it!

JD: Answer should be obvious—

RP: whips her head in his direction

C: ....okay so I didn't really think this through–

F: What do we do? Spruce's pie is still cooking!

They barely even started– it looked like diarrhea–

C:

C: Run–

C: grabs his hand and runs off somewhere to hide

RP: WHEN I FIND YOU TWO I'M GONNA– sighs know what, ima leave it be for now– but this chair is NOT staying like this– walks away

C: drags Floyd behind a tree okay, we should be good back here LET'S FINISH THIS NASTY PIE!!

F: Ohhhh, I don't wanna be in trouble! I don't like being in trouble!

C: Floyd it's fine if we were in trouble we would've been in the corner right now, but are there corners out here? NOPE! grabs mud and slaps it onto their.....thing they're apparently making

F: Oh, you're right says casually and helps add mud, patting the top

After sometime the boys finished their horrible creation and they were finally ready to torture—I mean give it to Spruce

C: Anddddd done! holds the pie in his hands Ready to make sickly boy over there smile?!

F: Yeah! Yeah! nods excitedly I am!

C: Alright let's GOOOO

C: walks from behind the tree and starts walking with a skip in his step to where Spruce is, Floyd following behind

S: is still laying on the ground half asleep until he hears noises and turns to see Clay and Floyd approaching

S: What the–

C: Yes, I know what you're thinking– how in the WORLD did these two make such a scrumdiddlyumptious looking creation!

S: ...complete opposite actually—

C: ANYWAY, we were thinking about you and decided we'd make it to make you feel better!

F: Yeah! To help you heal faster!

S: blinks slowly and looks down at the pie

For a split second there is a roach that can be seen breaking it down on top of the pie before it crawls inside of it

S: AH—

C: Well uh– you gonna take it?

S: I don't want that! scoots away from them looking perturbed

F: You– starts to frown a little don't want it?

C: Oh come on why not? You don't even have to eat it just admire it! moves it closer to him

S: What the HELL is there to admire! scoots away again

C: Um, how about all the HARD WORK we put into it! steps closer to him

F: Uhhh Clay..

S: Hard work??! It's a MUDPIE!!

C: That we made for YOU! nearly shoves it into his face

S: I don't WANT I– COUGH H A CK ughhhhhh.. groans and lays back, turning away from them

C: eyes are slightly widened after hearing him raise his voice, but stares and watches as he notices him looking upset and exhausted

C: starts feeling bad and looks over at Floyd, who also starts to feel bad

C: Uh.. nevermind, you don't have to take it.. you should get rest, sorry for bothering you

F: Yeah, don't worry spruce, we can give the pie to someone else

S: sighs and turns back towards them

S: Noo it's fine, I shouldn't have gotten so mad— I really don't want that pie but– I know you were just trying to make me feel better.. you can just sit it next to me if you want

C&F: look at each other then back over at him

C: ........nah throws it backward and it crashes into somebody's pod idk

S: chuckles well– maybe whoever's pod it fell into will enjoy it—

C: Yeah they'll die in like a few hours though smiles

F: G A S P

C: looks over at him ......of happiness smirks over at Spruce

S: rolls his eyes playfully then looks over at a certain someone coming in their view a few inches away raking the leaves and bopping his head to his music

S: thinks to himself getting an idea then smiles and looks up at Floyd and Clay Hey, wanna know how you can really make me feel better?

F: gasp Yes!!! walks closer to him

C: walks closer to him as well what's up?

S: Rakerman square over there's been doing nothing but raking for the past hour– how about you go and make him loosen up for a bit if you know what I mean? winks

F: ......huh :D

C: Floyd he wants us to go mess with John–

F: Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! .....why?

S: To make him unboring, he's been doing the same thing and I had to lay here and watch... nothing! And cause it'll give me something to actually wanna look at instead of laying here and rotting in my own sickness—

C: Weeeee gotcha bro! points at him We'll go tick off that oddly shaped son of a gun and give you the show of a lifetime! Come on Floyd! turns and runs

F: Uhhhh.. I don't get it but okai! follows behind him bye Spruce!

JD: humming and organizing another pile of leaves that seems to be getting bigger than the others

C: walks towards him heeeyyyy John–wooaaahh that is a big pile

JD: Huh what takes off a headphone oh hey whatcha need

F: hops behind Clay We wanna tick you off! :D

JD: ......wut

C: WEEEE WANT TO ask you to take a break from dumb old raking and come play with your awesome younger brothers! smiles wide

F: Yeah! Come play with us!

JD: Aweee man that's nice guys buuutt big brother John can't– got two to three more piles to finish up and I don't need any distractions! continues raking and is about to put his headphone back on until Clay stops him

JD: Clay–

C: Come onnnnn you can't take a little break?!

JD: No!

C: Why?!

JD: One– if I leave now I'm never gonna finish this– two– a little eventually turns into decades– and three– no—

C: Ughhhh! Since when do you even like doing chores?!

JD: Erm for the record— moves his hand off his headphone these are not chores, this is fun—

C: Of course you would find this fun–

JD: Sure do! Now if you're not gonna try and help go find another game to play amongst yourselves– and— maybe if this doesn't take long or if I feel childish enough I'll join– turns his music back on

C: But John– John!!!

JD: turns away from him and walks away and shakes his behind while dancing, humming

C: URGH— kicks a nearby stick

F: sighs Well Clay, I guess John doesn't wanna play with us after all

C: Ughhhh whatever– starts pacing can't even ask for one thing ONE thing I te–

C: stops when he bumps into something, reaching up to feel the texture better and moves away from it, looking up

C: ....holy fried donkey hairs

F: walks over to him Clay? What's— stops when he sees what he's looking at as well woooooowwieee..
