URIAH'S HEAP

While you and Wednesday were looking around in the Pilgrim World "museum", Enid and Ajax were walking around Uriah's heap. A man with a dirty appearence, an unshaved face and damaged clothings is seen looking at different cameras, Enid approached the man and said.

Enid: Can I help you?

The man turned around with a mean look which disturbed Enid, the man didn't say a word as he stuffed one of the cameras in his mantle which Enod didn't noticed and he walked away and out of the store with a brand camera for free. Enid turned around and walked back to talk with Ajax again. In front of Ajax is sitted two stuffed dead rodents, each clothed in bridal clothing, the broom is a small white rat and the bride is a grey squirrel. Enid upon looking at it expressed disgust and anguish.

Enid: Ooh. That gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Ajax: I don’t know. You think squirrels and rats could ever work out? I mean, they’re two totally different species.

Enid understood that Ajax may be implying something with what he said.

Enid: Oh, yeah. I mean, totally. Why not? They have more in common than you think. Most people are scared of them, so it would just be us… them… against the world.

A smile climbed on the face of Ajax as he too understood that they could be implying something else m.

Ajax: Wow. That was… deep.

He had a few seconds of pause before saying

Ajax: You know, by the way, I totally dug the way you scratched out the bottom of our boat at Poe Cup. It was pretty badass.

Enid: Thanks. You’re not mad you lost?

Ajax: I was just doing a solid for Xavier. I mean, he’s my boy, but he’s super competitive.

Enid: Seems so laid-back.

Ajax: Bro’s got a darker side most people don’t see. I think it’s because his dad is… well, you know, famous. All that pressure.

Enid: You realize this is, like, the longest conversation we’ve ever had?

They stared into each others eyes as Ajax reminded himself.

Ajax: Gorgons are taught not to engage. You know, I don’t want to accidentally stone someone.

Enid: I’m not afraid of being stoned by you. It’s just temporary.

Ajax after hearing that held hope.

Ajax: Really? You mean that?

Enid: One hundo! So, um, I was thinking of sneaking behind the greenhouse tonight. Supposed to be a blue moon. Only happens once every 23 years or something crazy. Should get a killer view from there.

Ajax kept nodding while she said that as he got ideas.

Ajax: Cool. Hey, have fun. You know that’s where a lot of kids go to hook up, right? I mean, it could get awk-

Enid interrupted him by saying.

Enid: Ajax! I just spent all morning flirting and hinting and trying to act cute while brushing some roadkill just so you would ask me on a freaking date!

Ajax: Oh! That’s what you were doing. I kind of wondered when you spent so long brushing that opossum’s tail.

They both chuckled at the situation. He then said, to try and fix his error.

Ajax: Hey, so you want to meet up behind the greenhouse tonight?

Enid: Yes. Yes, I do.

The shop owner interrupted their moment by asking.
