One more prompt, a bit late, but Sara’s reaction to finding out that these (http://www.ourordinarylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/hershey-3.jpg) exist. (if picture is not working, some genius at Hershey thought a golden apple was a good valentines chocolate idea. There were several “for the fairest” experiments by tumblr-ers)
There are words of impending doom. A high-pitched, “Ooooh!” coming from Sahra was one of them.
“Sara, no-oo…” said Todd automatically as he zoomed in on her squee-of-the-coming-apocolypse.
“But it’s perfect! Just look at what Hershey’s done.”
It was a box containing a golden apple. Or rather, a chocolate apple wrapped in gold foil. An instant replay of certain greco-roman myths ran through his head.
“No. Don’t. I don’ care how bad those bitches are, they don’t deserve yo’ happenin’ to them like this…”
“Yes they do,” countered Sara.
“No. Nobody does,” he insisted. “You wanna ’nother Eckley’s Eats happening? You nearly got arrested.”
“On the upside, I learned I have a file at the FBI…”
“That’s not an upside, hon.”
Sara spent a minute on social calculus inside her head. “Oh. Yes. Right.” She put the chocolate apple down. “But, oh, the possibilities…”
Todd couldn’t stand to see her down. “Tell yo’ what. I’m'a buy this one for you. ‘Cos you my fairest.”
“Aaaawwww…”
“And you promise to just eat it.”
“My word as a closet megalomaniac.”
“Good enough fo’ me.”
