Hello my fellow Losties! I am sooo sorry that I vanished like that. But I've been a lazy bum soaking up my summer. Anyway, here's a small update to hopefully help. Some Jun, Shayid, and Suliet might be okay for a little while, right? I'll try to do a better job updating. My apologies, big-time!
Sun was a girl who was rather silent compared to the other children. Her nature was to be social, but preschool was a step up from daycare.
Though she was quiet, she did have friends. Claire, Kate, Jin, Charlie, Jack, Hurley, and even the rascal Sawyer. But even with all of her close pals, she still was rather shy.
She sat above the monkey bars, kicking her legs aimlessly. Her miniscule fingers held onto the sunny yellow poles, her gaze averted towards the ground.
Jin came striding over towards her, a large smile across his face. He knew that Sun was rather quiet, and he wanted to be able to help her not be. They were best friends, after all. He would find a way…somehow… He looked down at the small shar pei dog plush toy in his arms, an idea popping in his head as he imagined the light bulb from his favorite cartoon flashing above his head.
Sun loved puppies, he had seen her flipping through story books with them. She could play with his toy puppy!
He ran towards the girl, climbing up the bars and hoisting himself up beside her with the toy. "Lookee what I gots, Sun!" he offered, showing her the toy.
She glanced over at him, elated by the sight of the toy. "A puppy?" she questioned.
He nodded excitedly, placing it on her lap. "Wanna play with him?" Jin asked, wiggling the shar pei around with his hands to make it look like it was jumping. Sun laughed, smiling at him as she pat its head.
"Okay!" she agreed, in awe of the toy. She picked it up, making it stand on two legs to face Jin. It's furry tongue "licked" his cheek, the two tiny children laughing.
"It's a kissy puppy!" Jin crowed, as he and Sun jumped down to run towards the sandbox.
Little Shannon sat on the swings, her legs pumping as she glided through the air. She swayed with the breeze, content with her near the ground height.
Sayid seated himself on her right in a swing nearby, his little ears attracted to the voice he heard singing.
"You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in, and ya shake it all about,
You do the Hokey Pokey and ya turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about!" Shannon sang softly.
The little boy's ears seemed to perk up like a dog's, happy to hear the song. It was quite popular amongst the children, along with the 'Baby Baluga' song. But by far, the Hokey Pokey was indeed amongst his favorites.
"I like that song," he commented, smiling warmly. She gazed over at him, her eyebrows raised with her head cocked to the side.
"Really? You do?" she questioned. He nodded, twisting the chain ropes on the swing to face her.
"Yes. It is my favorite song," he chattered, " It's pretty and fun to dance to." He waved his right leg in and out as though to motion it.
"It is. Wanna hear it again?"
Shannon was beyond excited that he like the Hokey Pokey as much as she did. Boone didn't always like it when she played it loud in her bedroom for the whole house to hear.
"Please?" he almost begged, as he awaited her beginning.
The boy and girl stood up off their swings, doing the motions to the sound of Shannon merrily singing:
"Ya put your left foot in…"
Sawyer sat under a tree, searching for Hurley. Ever since they had put the batteries in that toy car, Hurley had gone practically ballistic over it. He sighed, figuring that he was far away. And he could not walk to the other side of the playground! It was soupy-cide! Or whatever those adults called it…
He glanced around, hoping for someone to help him across. Especially since the other kids in his class told stories of the evil witch who lived across the fence and kidnapped kids away from the class. He shuddered at the thought, immediately spotting someone close by.
Juliet sat on a plastic table, drawing with crayons. She gazed up at his arrival, her eyebrows knit with a glare that matched. "James," she stated flatly.
Sawyer could of sworn he felt his blood boil like soup. "My name's Sawyer." He retorted.
The girl tossed her blond pony tail behind her shoulders, rolling her eyes. "That's not the point. What do you want?" she asked, getting directly to the point.
He sighed, gazing over at the witch's lawn. She was outside sweeping… "Uh…"
Juliet stared at him expectantly, realizing that he was not going to ask. "You want me to walk you past the witch's house to find Hurley," she filled in.
He nodded hastily, glad that that was over with. "Will ya?" he asked hopefully. The girl let out an exaggerated moan, and then stood up.
"Follow me then," she said finally.
Will Sayid and Shannon forever dance to the Hokey Pokey? Will Sawyer and Juliet be able to cross the playground safely? Will I ever stop asking questions? Just kidding!
Anyway, the story of the witch was actually a story told at my school for a long time. The second graders used to try to scare us first graders with how they actually saw a boy's bones tossed over the fence…Scary when you're little!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
