Making a small detour to the shed that lay on the right of the barn, Anne and Cole each grabbed an array of tools and placed them in either of two baskets they carried with them. Cole picked up some long planks of wood that had no real purpose yet at Green Gables and held those as well as the two began their trek through the woods.
When they arrived at the ruins, Anne quickly set to work salvaging whatever wood, decoration, or otherwise she thought would still be usable. Cole set aside the wood planks and organized them by size, comparing which planks were longest, and which ones were more supportive than others. One they had both finished, they set to work. Anne held up the wood as Cole hammered it in place, Anne having been worried she might smack Cole's hand with the hammer accidentally if she was the one hammering. Once they'd finally finished the main structure of the small clubhouse, Anne set to work braiding little ribbons with beads and feathers to hang and searching for flexible vines she could wrap around the structure. Cole began to sculpt a small robin out of a small block of clay he'd brought with him, and once he'd finished he placed it atop the clubhouse's roof. Anne tucked little daisies and other small flowers into the corners of the wooden structure and placed a long cloth over the opening, letting it hang like a curtain. Once they finished, they stepped back and admired the finished product.
The clubhouse was comprised of wooden planks about the same height as they'd been before the clubhouse's destruction. It had a long cloth that reached up to about three inches above the ground, and had a few rips and tears. There were small flowers tucked lovingly into the small spaces between the wooden planks, and vines and wreaths that Anne had found in various areas of the forest were draped around the tops of the walls. Various sculptures Cole had made surrounded the small clubhouse, and the interior still had the stumps the group had used as seats when they were younger.
Anne looked up and the sky and noticed it was beginning to turn a light shade of purple. She sighed, taking another look at the clubhouse before turning to Cole and saying, "It's late, we should head back." He nodded, and the two began down the path with the tools.
A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the short chapter. I've been sort of caught up in a bit of schoolwork and other things that have kept me busy and I haven't gotten much of a chance to continue along. I might update less frequently as of now - but don't worry, it'll still be updated. I'm aiming for once a week as of now, so please bear with me and feel free to write any suggestions in the reviews. Thank you!
