School grounds, Thursday afternoon

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was sitting outside on the school grounds. A determined look was on her face.

Beside her? A seven-inch wood turtle with a small, lightweight basket tied to its shell with wrapping paper ribbon. In the basket was a piece of coal.

"Okay, Shelby," Willow said, trying to be encouraging. "I know this is a whole new world for you and not the sort of thing you'd normally do in the average wood turtle day, but if you'd just give it a try you may just like it. Please? For me?"

Shelby the wood turtle simply blinked at her.

Willow realized this might take a while.

At least she'd gotten her form approved.

Anakin smiled. "I'll remember that." He stood up and brushed off his robe. "Speaking of which, I have some studying of my own to do so I don't cause a diplomatic incident when I go home in a month."

"Have fun with that," Willow said. "Thanks for your help with Shelby."

"Of course," Anakin said. "I hope he has many years of coal-toting usefulness ahead of him."

"You and me both," Willow agreed.

Anakin gave Willow a smile and a wave and walked off towards the dorms.
