FINE GEEZ I WON'T KILL OFF ALEX

I hope you know you're ruining my entire plot! heh.

In other news, I'm finally getting my ass in gear for the 3rd Saddle Club AU I've had semi-started for months. It's William and Sisky and William's inappropriate crush on Instructor Bob, and it's Instructor Bob's Annual Summer Campout! Wooo!

Every year, Instructor Bob leads a troop of hale and hearty Monroeville Farms riding students into the woods for a three day camping excursion. William eyes the sign-up sheet with no small amount of trepidation, but really it’s an excellent opportunity to show Bob how incredibly resourceful he is. Or, failing that – because William and the out-of-doors are not particular friends, he knows this – it’s an excellent opportunity to simply flirt.

A small person skirts up and William looks down to see not a small person at all, but Greta. Who is small, but small because of age and not stature – like Patrick or Frank – and therefore not quite considered a person. It’s perfectly sound reasoning.

“Are you up for camping out with Instructor Bob?” William asks her.

Greta stuffs the ends of her ponytail into her mouth and blinks up at him. Greta has the unfortunate habit of becoming mum around William, even though he knows she can chatter on even more than little Brendon Urie. Gabe swears it’s because he towers so high above her, although William suspects this is not the case at all, considering Greta is perfectly fine around Gabe and Gabe is eleven feet tall.

William stares at Greta and Greta stares back. Her plump cheeks redden and her mouth pulls into a smile around the shank of hair she’s chewing on. She’s honestly adorable. If William ever planned on having progeny, he’d want them all to look exactly like her.
