Autumn forgot 'em and painted 'em bright

When; Backdated to the afternoon of 27th September
Rating; PG-13ish until/unless specified otherwise?
Characters; Lucy and Neil
Summary; It's just the weather for apple-picking! So Neil is giving this how-does-date-girl thing another try.
Log;

Neil arrives at the store in torn jeans and an old t-shirt, but hopefully he can be forgiven, inasmuch as today's activity is outdoorsy and active. He is also wearing a sheepish grin, and carrying a large wicker basket.

He takes a moment to steel himself, whispering words of encouragement to himself, and then pushes through the door.

THIS IS TRUE

Wounded pride is a very silly emotion. She's still grinning widely at him as she watches him get up. She waits until he's in position again then gets an apple and tosses it over-hand toward the basket. It's a pretty easy shot.

"Come on, Stud. Let's get that one pointer."
