FDR Campfire, Wednesday evening

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo had decided to celebrate a successful first day at work with a fire. So she'd found some kindling, an old newspaper, and matches, and was building a fire the same way that her father had taught her how to in the fireplace.

She didn't know if it worked the same way for a campfire, but she could only hope. Besides, it wasn't as if she was planning on this being someone's funeral pyre. Just a small campfire, and hopefully some company.

She suddenly wondered if she should have stopped for s'mores supplies.

Yakko took the line about stealing fire as a cue to sing a song about the myth of Prometheus stealing fire from the Greek gods. No, I am not writing the song.

After a minute of edutational singing, he asked Harper, "How doooooooo you do?"

"I'm fine, thanks," said Harper, looking curiously at Yakko. "You're either a new student or... someone's pet, I think."

Yakko was suddenly sitting behind a podium, doing his best Regis Philbin impression.

"You only have two to choose from now. B) New Student or D) Someone's Pet. Do you think you can guess which is the correct answer from here, or would you like to use another Lifeline? You still have Poll the Audience, and Phone a Friend."

She remembered watching this game show with her grandma. "Ooooh, can I Poll the Audience?" asked Harper.

"Of course. Audience, pick up your handheld devices and make your choice," Yakko said. He turned around and suddenly there was an audience full of Yakkos just over there, where there hadn't been any Yakkos a moment ago. After they were done punching their answers in, they looked up and there was once again only one Yakko at the podium.

"Eighty percent of the audience says B, New Student. That's a pretty overwhelming response. Is it enough to sway your answer?"

"I'll go with B, final answer," said Harper, crossing her fingers.

Yakko paused, glanced at Harper, continued pausing, then sighed. "I'm so sorry," he said, taking another long pause. "BUT YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT! He IS a new student. Meet Yakkooooooo Warner!"

"YAY!" shouted Harper, jumping up and clapping. "What did I win?"

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"The chance to meet me!" Yakko said.

"Nice to meet you, Yakko. I'm Harper," she said, holding her hand out. "Are you one of those kids with powers and stuff?"

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"You bet I have powers!" Yakko said, pulling two paddleballs out from behind his back. "I have the power to use two paddleballs at once!"

Sure enough, Yakko started bouncing the balls on the paddles with expert coordination.

Harper had no coordination whatsoever, so she was easily impressed. "Cool!"
