Alita, I assume as punishment, has been dragging me and Juliet around the damn city for hours claiming she knew where she was going but looked like she was utterly lost.
We had walked past multiple shops, cafes, clothes shops, toy shops, food shops, even an Adult shop once in a while.
Juliet spotted a closed off shop with dark windows and claimed it was a strip club. Not that I can blame her, there was a literal design on the windows that had a woman next to a pole.
We walked through the seemingly endless streets and were worn out until Alita eventually stopped in front of a couples pottery places.
Me and Juliet stared at her with raised eyebrows.
"Right so first we're making pottery, then we're going out for ice cream and then I have yet another surpriseee."
"Alita if this surprise takes more than twenty minutes to get to I'm dipping."
I let out a laugh at Juliet's worn out voice and Alita fakes being offended.
"Excuse ME?"
"You heard me, let's get this over with."
I'm desperately trying to hold back laughter as we walk in and Alita is cursing at Juliet in Portuguese.
We enter and are greeted by a small middle aged woman who starts greeting Alita and Arthur in Portuguese. Of course they already knew them.
We're takes thought and each given a statio per couple.
The woman starts speaking to the four of us.
"So I'm going to guide you on how to make a mug. You can choose the design, have some time to decide while I get the clay and paints ready."
Juliet immediately turns to be and before I can ask her what she wants she calls out.
"A Perry the platypus cup with a lid as a hat."
❆❆❆
So here we were, my arms under hers trying to guide her so we could shape the cup properly.
She was giggling like a child as she started making the hat.
I moved the actual cup to the side to let it harden and move back to helping her shape the hat/lid.
The woman who was helping us, we earlier found out her name was Liá, tapped me on the shoulder andtold me to wash my hands and get the paints necessary for our Perry the Platypus.
I wash my hands and kiss Juliet's head before going over to the paints.
What colours was this damn Platypus?
Turquoise, yellow, brown eyes, white for the eye whites, black for the hat and a lighter brown for the hat.
Oh and I can't forget the slightly lighter orange for the tail.
I got the small tubs of pain and got two paintbrushes, a thin too and slightly thicker one.
I walked back to Juliet and kissed her head as I set down that paints on the clean side of the desk next to us.
"How are to getting on Princess?"
"He's gonna be perfect."
Juliet is a little to excited, it's hilarious to see her cackle like a witch as I help out the hat down to dry.
Liá came and looked at the drying clay shaped as a cup with a nose and a tail as the handle and hat that is slim and has indents to it can rest on the cup and not fall off.
She applauds us and tells us we can take off the aprons.
I untie her apron and untie my own, putting them away. She goes on her phone and pulls up a picture of Perry and rambles on about his we're going to outline in pencil, number it, then and only then are we gonna paint it and let it dry.
I laugh at how precise she wants to be. It takes a few solid minutes to wait for it to harden completely. Liá eventually tells us we can start and Juliet practically shoots up go start numbering it.
I stand on the side and mix the paints getting them ready so we can paint with them easily.
She presses her back into my and forces me to out my arms around her as we start to pain. I hold up the cup and let her do her thing.
It takes about 20 minutes but eventually we finish. We leave them to try and go to clean up out station.
Alita and Arthur had been set on making a heart shaped cup. Kinda like a wine glass but made out of clay and heat shaped.
They were also already clearing up.
By the time we'd finished the paint had dried and both of the cups looked good enough.
Juliet was extatic about the Perry the Platypus cup.
Alita offered to go home first so they don't break while we're out for the entire day.
