The pit works in mysterious ways

Kaboom

All of the parks and Recreation department along with other volunteers were out at a random location. Helping put together a park for a company called 'kaboom'. It was super sketchy...

"My name is Keith, and I am your friend. Are you guys my friends?" The leader of said operation, Keith, yelled into the crowd. If the whole situation wasn't sketchy enough, the man's appearance was. The top of his head was bald, but the sides still had hair. And he had a giant gap in his teeth.

The crowd cheered as Keith asked them. All except for Ron who had the dead look on his face. Jerry was just nodding whole heartedly.

"All right. Awesome! It is playground time!" Keith yells with his eyes closed.

"We're here in Eagletown. it's two towns over. And we're all volunteering for Kaboom! A service organization that says it builds a playground in a day. High five. I never trust anything that quickly. That's why I don't eat minute rice." Leslie explains in her Kaboom outfit.

Ann and Leslie were sitting on orange buckets tightening bolts on a swing set that was currently on its side. Olivia was standing close to the two women, attaching the metal chains for the swings.

"This is tough." Ann grunts.

All three women were unaware that Andy Dwyer was at Kaboom. And after noticing the three of them started making his way over, like it was an accident and not on purpose.

"But think of all the kids that will swing on this swing. Fat kids, skinny kids, brainiacs, sluts, the gay drama kids, goths, jocks, the alternative crowd." Leslie looks up pondering.

Olivia with an alarmed look on her face addresses her sister. "You do know these are for three to ten year olds', right? Not high schoolers."

Andy, now finally in the three women's range of vision, acts like his being there is a total coincidence.

"Hey Leslie hi, oh Ann!"

"What are you doing here?" Ann asks not to be thrilled that her ex-boyfriend was there.

"Ya know I'm volunteering with my best pal Olivia," Andy throws an arm around Olivia's waist and pulls her close to his side to authenticate his story. A minute flush crosses Olivia's cheeks. "I love to volunteer."

"The key to volunteering? A lot of pockets. For putting all the food in." Andy explains as he stuffs donuts in his vest, with Olivia right next to him. "The red cross has amazing cookies. I go there all the time. Meals on wheels was a bonanza. Suicide hotline, surprisingly lame spread."

"I would be upset, but he was living in a pit not too long ago." Olivia adds just watching Andy stuff more pastries into his various pockets.

"Thought I'd give back to those less fortunate than myself." Andy continues.

"You live in a pit." Ann states confused.

" Not anymore. Living with the drummer of my band. Living indoors. Pretty cool. Not to brag. Kinda hard not to. Anyhow, gotta go. Me and an old Asian lady are double-teaming some monkey bars, so." Andy says with a dorky smile on his face.

"Phrasing Andy." Olivia mutters as he walks away.

As the subcommittee sits in the meeting room, Leslie stands in front of the white board with a very detailed plan on how to get the park done. Leslie, with her new found enthusiasm, passes around the room.
