The School, Locker 327, Friday Evening

[that_oldsaying]

It was pie giving day again!

This was good, since Alluka had gotten a message from Kathy, and this kept her from thinking things like 'maybe Kathy is sick because Anders said I couldn't send a friend for her to hug', which was a completely illogical thought, but one that kept sneaking in around things. She'd tuned out about half a minute into the talk about zombies (boooring; she didn't want to listen to Kathy lecture her on something like that!) and even though Kathy had looked really sick, she believed her when Kathy had said she'd be better soon.

Kathy had never lied to her.

But still, Alluka felt funny and antsy if she thought about Kathy for too long, so pie day? Best day ever! To the locker!

"Do you think the locker will like the apple cranberry pie we made for it?" she asked Mabel.

[For Mabel only, please!]

"I think the locker would be cray-cray to not like an apple cranberry pie," she decided, giving a sage nod of her head. "Especially since we brought that whole aerosol can of whipped cream to go with it!"

It was clearly not a locker of terribly discerning tastes. At least the girls meant well?

[that_oldsaying]

They just wanted to be friends! FRIENDS.

"It's very sweet," Alluka said fairly. "So it has to go well with it. Do you want to give the pie this time? I gave it last time, didn't I?"

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

"You did," Mabel agreed. "And now that we're both the locker's friends, we can trade off without having to worry at all!"

The locker was hardly going to care who handed it the pie, just so long as it was coming from the both of them.

"You can carry the whipped cream, though. Hey, Lockie!"

[that_oldsaying]

"Hi, Lockie!" Alluka chirped. "Do you know what day it is?"

They were carrying a pie. It was probably obvious.

Mabel waited for a few moments, giving the locker time to ruminate on that question before helpfully supplying the answer.

"It's pie-giving day!"

Which always seemed to begin and and with the pie they gave to Lockie, funnily enough.

"And this time, it's a good one!"

[that_oldsaying]

"Really, really good!"

Which... it probably wasn't. Neither of them were great at cooking.

But they thought it was good and that was the important thing!

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

It had apples in it! And cranberries! Which might not go well with whipped cream, but lockers didn't generally have tastebuds, so it was opening up its door-maw wide in anticipation of delicious pie offerings to come.

"That's right, Lockie old pal! Alluka and Mabel have you covered!"

Aww, look! Lockie was glowing at them!

[that_oldsaying]

And wasn't that sort of familiar?

Though at least this time it wasn't a vacuum.

"Do you think we should go into the locker?" Alluka asked. "It looks so friendly! We might meet more friends! Or see how Lockie eats!"

"It looks to me like an adventure," Mabel agreed brightly, marching toward the locker like a girl on a mission. "And finals week is over now, and there's a whole weekend ahead of us, so what is there to lose?"

Apparently some people had bad experiences with Lockie. Mabel figured they were probably just being dramatic about it.

Dipper.

[that_oldsaying]

Super, super dramatic about it. The locker had never done anything to them.

Alluka bounced along behind Mabel, waiting her turn to walk into the locker.

"Lockie," she said, "you're great! Adventures are the most fun!"

[rhymeswithtable.livejournal.com]

"One pie for Lockie," Mabel announced, hauling back with one arm before chucking it into the locker's depths. The locker gave a satisfied sort of belching sound, but continued holding its door open for the girls. "And in we go!"

To adventure!
