Flowers from 1970

11

Usually, when George waited for Dream to call him, he'd occupy himself with his work. He had finished early though so he had nothing to do and no call to expect since Dream was going over his sister's house for a while and leaving the phone at home.

He sat in silence for a while before deciding he'd spend the time outside. He had not gone on a walk for a while so he decided it would be best and also because he knew Dream would be mad for not using his free time wisely.

he put his hoodie on, pocketed his phone, and trudged downstairs, walking outside onto his porch 

He checked his flowers and as expected nothing has grown yet. It was the scary part about flowers, in the beginning, you don't know if anything was happening at all yet

He decided he would go to the park. He brought a small notebook and a pencil to sketch his surroundings as he used to with his mother when he was young.

He caught sight of the swingset and found a bench close by. He sat down, sighed, and started scratching lines on his notebook

"No, Tommy, I told you not to be mean and you didn't listen!" George heard women say he turned around and saw Sally, scolding Tommy who was grumpy

"But I want ice cream like Tubbo! It's not fair" Tommy cried, but his mum wouldn't give it to him

Sally pointed a finger at him "I told you a million times. Don't be mean to girls. What did you do? You called Cara "Puffy" until she cried!" 

Tommy's mouth opened "SHE LIKES TO BE CALLED THAT! IT'S HER NICKNAME, MUM!" 

"Fine then," Sally said, "if that didn't make her cry, what did?" 

Tommy put his head down in defeat "I chased her around with a stick and told her if I caught her, I'd poke her"

Sally groaned "Tommy, you can't go around doing that"

"She de-des-de"

"Deserves?" Sally finished

"yeah, that word," Tommy said

"Why does she deserve it?"

"'cause she's a girl!" Tommy waved his hands

Sally sighed and turned away, leaving Tommy to sit there, crying because he wouldn't get ice cream. She caught sight of George sat on the bench and waved "oh, hello! you talked to my husband the other day I believe?"

George nodded "Wilbur. Yes" he smiled at her and then gestured towards Tommy, who had his arms crossed, eyes red and nose flared when George looked at him "So that one still being trouble, I see" 

Wilbur was walking with Tubbo toward them now. Tubbo looked at Tommy "here, Tommy, we can split it!"

Tommy was trying to stay mad but he couldn't hold it in any longer "Okay!" Tommy rushed over to Tubbo where he was standing, with George and his parents

"George!" Wilbur exclaimed "pleasure to see you here"

"Hey, Wilbur" he greeted "how was the meet up with your father?"

Wilbur thought "quite odd. He's constantly refused to come home here but suddenly we got a call saying he's on a flight to Florida and to get a guest room ready"

George chuckled "dinner go well, though?"
