Jack had watched her a moment before focusing on his candy apple, taking a few more licks, softening the red cover before taking a bite since he didn’t rant to risk damage to his teeth. He’d never had one of these before too, so it was a new taste, new feeling. He shivered.
“Oh this is good.” he mumbled, before taking another few bites, chewing the candy apple before looking around. “Oh! This…!”
He led her to a hoop game. You threw a basketball into a hoop and if you got three in, you won a toy. The toys were big ones, too. Half Katelynn’s size.
She looked at the game, staring at the large basketballs and smiling. Without her disguise she was much too short to play but now…now she figured it was okay. “Oh let’s both try it?” she asked, giving him a smile. She laid a bit of money down to the guy who handed them each a ball.
Katelynn wiggled her bottom as if getting ready, having put down her treats for a moment to hold the ball properly and get ready to shoot. She jumped, tossing it in, and missing. She pouted. “Not very good at this..”
Jack watched her for a moment before picking up his own ball. He stood straight, tall, not bothering to wriggle or prepare. He simply threw. The ball arched through the air and went through the hoop with a satisfying swish noise. The vendor congratulated him and handed him another ball, to which the same thing happened again. And again. And again. Only the fifth one he missed, but he’d already done enough to deserve a prize.
“Oh, oh thank you!” he said as the lady pointed out the line of toys he could pick out. Jack bit his bottom lip as he looked them over, before pointing to a panda. “T-that one, please.”
