BoooofhphmpAH

  The woman fell on all fours when she'd run smack into a kiddie pool.  "That'll be a bruise," to several other people commenting, gasping, laughing, and one person being tackled by a body without arms but flailing in an air jump.  "WHADDYA TELL HER TO RUN FOR ARSEHOLE????" 

  "Wa, wah, WE'D HAD TO." 

  "SO THAT MEANS WE SHOULD TOO?????" 

  The tackled fell into laughing hugs. 

  "YOU DON'T GET IT!!" 

  Ssssshhh, sssssh, "Blind, not deaf, remember." 

  "What don't we get?  And don't call anyone a communist again or I will have to smother you." 

  "I am so SICK OF POLITICS!" Someone yelled. 

  "Yeah, I think a line has been crossed myself." 

  "POOL'S RUINED." 

  "Where are those going to have their puppies?" A glance in the direction of dogs rescued from a "pound". 

  "Is that what this is for?" 

  Shocked awes.  "You didn't?" 

  "Oh I did." The majesty said. 

  Some people chose to get up off the ground, others stayed put. 

  "What were you thinking?" 

  A huuuuumph and laugh.  "You all need to love again." 

  Na-ah, no way, a lady said to her promised man (nobody was going to be sexual for seven years, past even their "promises" made in front of family and church groups to wait until marriage). People shot stares and awkward gawks at the couple talking implying the question:  Is someone pressuring someone?  

  "We can't AFFORD TO feed a puppy."  The man's shoulders slumped, sad, dejected.  "AND, we'll be traveling." The man's eyes grew wide and his shoulders lifted his back straight and tall.  "Really?" 

  "Where you sneaking off to you two?" 

  A hand held up two cigarettes. 

  Puff, puff, drag, blowing smoke out relief.  "What did you mean?" 

  "About what?" 

  "And I quote, 'We'd had to.'" 

  "It's complicated." 

  A cigarette crushed out with a shoe'd foot.  "Try me." 

  "I, I...." 

  "Don't trust me?" 

  "Trust you?" 

  Eyes peeking through bushes.  One's down on one knee.  Is it a proposal?  I can't hear that far away.
