(Currently on hiatus)
He's just another senior at his high school in Queens trying to make it to graduation. But when his brand new Nintendo Switch starts acting out of the ordinary, Lincoln Matheson's world suddenly merges with another in order to...
"So what is it you're making again?" Vin asked, sitting right beside the cooking pot. He'd pulled up a little rock to sit on while Mina was busy prepping her ingredients on the foldable table Mike had brought along.
"Poffertjes!" she replied excitedly.
"They're great!" Simon added. "They're just like little pancakes, but shaped like cream puffs!"
"Yeah, Mrs. Van Der Zee used to make them all the time," I said as I joined in the conversation, taking a seat on a nearby rock. "You remember? When I used to come over to your house when I was little!"
"Oh, I remember!" Mina giggled to herself, a hand over her mouth. "You were always trying to take as many as you could when my mom wasn't looking."
"Yeah, and then try to hide the evidence in my mouth," I snorted.
"Yes, and then you'd end up looking like a little chipmunk!" Mina could help but break out into lighthearted laughter. It was a laugh that I missed. I missed that as well as those memories of us as kids. Being 7 was a fun time.
"I didn't know you guys knew each other, that's fun," Miranda commented light heartedly.
"Well yeah!" I turned to her. "We have PE together, so it's kinda-"
"No no, I meant like, for THAT long," she clarified. "Since you guys were kids and all that."
"Oh, yeah, we went to the same elementary school," Mina explained. "We've known each other since we were six."
"Weird. I don't think I've ever really seen you guys hanging out or anything." Miranda's words seemed to stir something in Mina. Something that made her smile fade from her face.
"Haha, yeah, weird ain't it??" I said, making a slicing motion with my hand in front of my neck, directing the gesture right at Miranda. She seemed to get it, because she immediately shut up, but even then it was too late for that. Mina got up.
"I should probably get back to the poffertjes then!" she said. "I still need eggs."
"Oh! I brought some!" went Sheik, unzipping her backpack. I just stayed where I was, watching the girls exchange ingredients while Miranda looked at me with the most apologetic look I'd ever seen her muster.
"Oof, that looked... really awkward," Fiona cringed from behind me. All I could think of was to put a hand to my face, wanting to smack myself for what just happened.
Idiot.

There was a bit of a quiet moment once Mina walked off to finish cooking. The awkwardness of it all allowed Garrett to sneak away from the group. He had something to say, and he'd rather say it where the others probably couldn't hear him. He found Mike seated beside the canals of the fairy fountain, picking a carrot up out of the sand(how they were growing in desert sand was anyone's guess but that wasn't important). Garrett decided to take a seat beside him and start up a conversation before Mike could leave.
