"You can go find Forrest again." Ayala dug the knife into the side of the pumpkin.

"I don't think she likes me. Not much anyways." Apollo shrugged, playing with his hair.

"Mmm." Ayala continued cutting. "Do you have any ideas for your side of the pumpkin?"

"One or two. Not very creative ideas." Apollo hummed.

"I can help you with those."

"You don't have to. I can come up with my own ideas." He hummed as he looked up at her. "We should hang out again this week."

"We should, definitely!"

"Mm… we should go for a late night drive. Go to McDonalds or something." Apollo hummed with a little smile.

Ayala flicked a piece of pumpkin goop at him. "You know I don't eat at McDonalds."

Nose scrunching, he brushed it off of himself. "Well, I was trying to come up with something. We can go to some other fast-food place."

"You can choose, I just don't like McDonalds." She turned back to the orange squash. "Aren't you going to carve your side of the pumpkin?"

"Well, it's difficult when you're holding the pumpkin. I'm waiting until you get done, I don't want to mess you up." Apollo hummed softly.

"It was a rhetorical question. I thought you meant we'd leave right after I get done."

"Huh?" Apollo asked softly, seeming confused. "Oh- no, I meant some other night. Not tonight."

"Oh." She dug the knife into the pumpkin; a few minutes later, she was done. She'd carved a large and ornate letter A. "There, your turn."

Apollo hummed, taking the pumpkin from her. "Thank you!" He chirped, starting to sketch something on the pumpkin.

Ayala sat back and watched.

After a little bit of silence, Apollo looked up at her, a basic face on the other side. "Tada!"

"Nice!" she said approvingly, chuckling. "I think I showed off a bit."

"Pfft, I don't really care." Apollo laughed a little, standing up.

"Do you want to keep the pumpkin, or should I?"

"Do you want to keep it?" He asked, playing with his sleeves. "You can keep it if you want to."

"I can keep it." She grinned.

Apollo nodded, starting to stand up. "It's yours, then." He hummed, smiling in return.

"All right. Where are you off to?"

"I thought we could bring it out to the car, at least." Apollo shrugged.

"Oh, true. Just so nobody steals it, huh?" She grinned slyly around at the people near them. "Would you mind carrying it?"

"Course not." Apollo laughed, picking it up. "You got the keys?"

"Yeah." She fished them out of her purse.

As the two headed out the door, he walked over to the car. Waiting by the trunk, he held onto the pumpkin. "Can you get the trunk?"
