003- [Action] Fireflies in summer

Jun 10, 2010 23:52

[Summer brings with it many things. Not the least of which is fireflies. So, on Friday night, after it gets dark, Mindy is heading outside. She's taking an empty jar with holes poked in the lid. (I'm assuming one of her family members would help her with that.) She put a few crucial pieces of grass in the bottom of it and sets it on the front step ( Read more... )

beulah street, fireflies, summer fun, mindy

[Watching her from the window. A-aaaah such a cute daughter.]

[Struggling to get a pesky bug in the jar. Clever little thing is climbing up her arm.]

Got it!

[Just as she got that one in the jar, one of the ones she'd caught before flew out. She closes the jar quickly and runs after the escapee.]

Ohh.... No, come back!

[Leans forward to watch the caper. Gotta make sure she's okay!]

friendly_ghosts June 11 2010, 07:02:02 UTC

[She's fine. And very determined. She follows that little bug all the way across the yard. She almost ends up next door, but finally catches it.]

Ha! I got you! Now you go back in the jar with the others, okay?

[Because they can totally understand her. Also....probably not even the same bug. How would she even tell?]

[This is Netherland's front yard so it's perfectly okay to watch and draw because INSPIRATION.]

[from out of nowhere, Japan is hit in the head with a soccer ball.]

[It's like I'm really in my World Cup Playoffs.

Pen and paper flying in the air and Japan flying down.]

[comes up to fetch his ball, doing that one thing where, uh... you balance the ball on your foot and play with it. i have no idea what it's called, but he's doing that.

[Just watches.]

[Keeps chasing the fireflies. She'll rush at the nearest one that's lit up, only abandon it for another when the light goes out.]

couldbeeeepthem June 12 2010, 13:25:58 UTC

[Closes her eyes, quietly reading waves.]

friendly_ghosts June 13 2010, 00:49:38 UTC

[Happy waves are happy. She chases one as it flies toward you.]

Saki, catch it. Hurry!

[Smiles and watches from the porch.]

"Make sure you don't wander out too far, Mindy!"

friendly_ghosts June 12 2010, 07:18:02 UTC

I won't!

[She waves, cheerfully. And then goes back to bug capturing. Successful this time, she runs back with her prize.]

Can you open the jar for me? They keep flying away when I do it....

pinkplumblossom June 12 2010, 16:37:03 UTC

[Nods, smiling.]

"Okay. You have to be fast. Get ready!"

[Hunches down over the jar, ready to crack the top open and closed again quickly so Mindy can get the next firefly in without the others getting out.]

friendly_ghosts June 13 2010, 00:45:54 UTC

Okay.....

[very quickly shakes the bug into the jar.]

Now close it quick!!

['cause this is serious business right here.]

Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?

Catching fireflies. It's really fun.

hourai_branch June 13 2010, 16:11:39 UTC
