(au where grace field house is a normal orphanage, cross-fandom)
the weather outside was just about as perfect as it could be. sunny, but not enough to hurt your eyes, cloudy, but not enough to totally block the sun. enough breeze to make the air just the right temperature. so isabella had decided to take some of the older children to the park, while krone stayed back with the children five and under.
the older kids were absolutely elated to have a place to run around that they didn't know every inch of. what better time to start a game of tag? the kids' version of tag usually consisted of tag and hide and seek combined into one game, with norman, one of the oldest and smartest kids at grace field house, almost always being *it*, and the other kids trying to outwit him.
well, a certain orange-haired eleven year old was determined to win, and beat her friend at tag this time. the only issue was that, when she ran off to find a place to hide, she only barely got out of norman's sight when she ran straight into somebody else, stumbling back a bit at the impact. " oh ... ! i'm so sorry , miss ! " emma quickly apologized, glancing over her shoulder after a moment to see if norman had started on his way yet. " i wasn't looking where i was going , " she admitted with a small sigh.
