Delivery [Terry]

[Deleted]

Jack was carrying some heavy crates. His back ached slightly as he hefted the produce crates and gently set them at the door before heading back to get some more. Crates of the finest apples, strawberries, and other assorted fruits for things like pies and crisps or even some to turn into ciders and drinks. Jack was simply delivering them to Terry, his best friend. Terry got all of his best things. Including a few things that he had experimented on. He wanted to use his gifts, He wanted to feed and help people as best as he could. he wanted to bring happiness with the pumpkins he carved every year. OR with the good foods and fruits and vegetables in his farm. It wasn't big, it was kind of a smaller farm, but it was enough to hold a bee farm and produce enough honey, fruits, vegetables and herbs to keep his income fairly stable. Terry got the pick of the litter, within reason of course. He had his own private garden greenhouse attatched to his kitchen in place of a garage. After heading back to his large wagon, he grabbed a smaller box with a bunch of smaller bundles inside. The best herbs and spices from his garden. 

With his arms full, he kicked on the back door of Terry's coffee shop like a knock, as his arms were full. And of course there was a large stack of Fruits in front of him, dwarfing him as he stacked them in front of the door like an idiot and there was no way he could move them right now. "Open up Terry, I got your morning produce!" Jack shouted at the door as he knocked/kicked at the bottom of the door, hoping Terry was in. HE'd probably look like a real idiot standing at the coffee shop back door if he wasn't there.

Notes: Yay!!! buddy time!

It was early morning and Terry had spent the whole night IM talking with Sam. It was fun and nice to talk to her that much, but it had it consequences too, like not being aboe to wake up at the usual hour that he used to wake up. He usually was up and ready before Jack got there with the produces of the day, but that day he wasn't ready, he wasn't even up! The first knock on his back door he just grunted and rolled on his bed. then slowly he started opening his eyes and noticed the dim light coming into his room between his curtains.

Then he heard the voice of his old friend, Jack. He moved his face over his pillow and then grabbed his alarm clock, there it was he was still in bed!! He had overslept! He got off bed with a slump on the ground, then got up and ran to grab his jeans and a t-shirt. Then as he is still passing his head into the hole of the T-shirt, he managed to run down stairs and open the back door. "Sorry J!... I overslept." He said and wide opened the door, then looked out and saw how the weight was minimizing his friend. So he grabbed one of the bulks on his back and helped his friend with it.

"Sh--!! How you manage to carrie all of them at once?" he asked as he got into the back of his coffee shop and left it on a counter back there. "leave the other right there, bud."

Terry over slept. Well that was no surprise to Jack. The guy was head over heels in love with Sam, this girl that Jack still had yet to meet, and he probably had been up all night either schmoozing with her or talking. Jack had already made his deliveries to the mess hall for the day, that was always the first on the list, but Terry was always next. Again, Jack couldn't remember a time when he wasn't friend with him. He'd admit to probably just Terry that his friend was his rock and his salvation, giving him a reason to be a better person. Just like he wanted his grandmother to be proud of him.

"It's no big dude." Jack said as he waved off the apology. It wouldn't be the first time and it certaintly wouldn't be the last. "oh, I'll probably be a bit late with the delivery on Saturday. I promised my brother that I'd bring him some stuff for his Lab class." Jack said as he grabbed the crates and put them on the back counter. "oh the Vulcan guy that lives next door to the farm, he built me a hand trolly to pull the crates in, it's like a big radio flyer wagon, I totally want to go riding down a hill in it." He said laughing. Sure he still had some kid like tendencies, just wait till it started to snow, or it was halloween. "LAte night it seems." He said, teasing Terry and harrassing him was part of his past times. Jack absolutely loved to do it. Besides what were best friends for?

Notes: sorry the delay!!

Terry chuckled when Jack said that it was nothing, Jack had always been like that, a good friend, a brother to Terry always he had needed someone to confide his darkest secrets. It was something that had happened since they had been teens, since the moment they met, at least for Terry it had been like that. "Thanx J." he said and then as he was checking what could he lack of so he could make the order and give it to Jack, he told him about the delay on Saturday. Terry smiled and nodded. "You know that there is no problem, thank you for telling me, then I'll save a bit from Friday to have a normal start on the morning in Saturday and then we'll balance with your deliver later on that day. what is your brother doing in lab these days?"

Terry might be an absent minded one, he had ADHD, sometimes his mind was a total mess, but he was very organized with his business, something that had never changed since the very first day he opened it. He continued making the list as he yawned widely and then stretched out just a bit. He nodded at the mention of the vulcan guy, he was a nice guy. "good guy, he was kind to do it." Then he laughed and looked at Jack. "maybe I should be there, just in case you break your neck." joking about it, knowing that nothing would happen to his friend and also that he would surrender to his childish side and would ride the wagon just like his friend.

It was shaping up to be a fine morning. The light and dawn of the cool morning made for great times to be out and about. He wanted to make sure that everything on the farm was going great. Everything he grew was organic, much to the happiness of the people that bought from his stall in the Forum. He owned the stall but he wasn't the one who did much selling. It was extra money that came in from what he sold in the market. The girl that sold his produce was smart, working her way through the university and nice enough that Jack didn't mind giving her a hand. The job was only for a few hours in the morning on Thursday through sunday. It was pretty much a weekend gig. Just some extra cash for the both of them. "He's working on some Cross-pollination hybrids of some tropical fruits, mostly so he can get them to grow here in the city without having to use a greenhouse. You know me I don't mind a green house." Jack said with a laugh.

"You want anything special this time around?" Even though the air was cooling off, it was fairly obvious that summer was on it's way out, and while most of California was dealing with wildfires, New Rome and camp tended to miraculously stay out of the way with the blazes that were marching their way across the state like a band of fiery demons. "You think we might get snow this year?" Jack asked with a tilt of his head as he looked upwards at the gathering clouds that seemingly were trying to come up from the southeast. "Rain, probably tomorrow, later today, looks like a good downpour." Jack wasn't exactly someone who was deeply in tune with the weather, but he did study it briefly in college. "Oh the wagon, you can take off the wheels and axels so if we get snow we can go sledding." He said with a mischevious twinkle in his eye.

Notes: Sorry about the delay, though I had replied already.

Terry looked at Jack and smiled at him, he knew his friend and a greenhouse would be like maybe the closest thing to a home to him than any other place. So why would his brother wouldn't want a greenhouse? well, maybe he was thinking about those people outside camp that didn't have the opportunity or the space to have a proper green house. In that case it would be very good for the world, but if it was only for New Rome... well it wouldn't help that much... at least not in Terry's point of view. "Well, it is a great idea for places that can't have a place to grow plants, right?"

He went to the place where he kept all his supplies and checked it with a paper of inventory. Then shrugged at the question. "Well... let me think." he said and then thought about the desserts, the beverages, the stuff that he would serve during the fall time. It was one of his favorite, because it provided with many more opportunitites to prepare delicious stuff for people. cold or hot stuff, so Terry needed to think well about the things that he would do that Fall, because he never liked to repeat his special beverages and drinks along the seasons.

"I'll need all the special of the season, you know... Pumpkins, cranberries, cinnamon, black pepper, small apples to prepare some sider. and maybe Some other stuff, but I haven't put my mind into it, I need to do it soon, right?" he chuckled and then shrugged. But he had to smile and even laugh the moment that his old friend suggested to use that thing as a slaigh. "We can definitely do that! like that time years ago, remember? we used the top of our cohort house to slide!"

"Yeah, mostly for those that live in the city that can't have them. We have a few people in LA that are willing to work with us outside of the camp." Jack said as he wiped his face with his handkerchief that he pulled from his back pocket. Not that it was overly hot outside or anything like that, but there were some times he had broken a sweat from doing things like hefting huge boxes or working out in the fields. Jack was lucky that he lived out in the outskirts of New Rome. It meant that he had to walk nearly everywhere and had to do so many things to get to where he was going, but it was worth the walk to have plenty of space to grow a good farming operation. He didn't mind supplying the camp, the infirmary and the stands with whatever food he could produce.

"Season specials huh? Oh I still have some experimental spice packets if you want to give those a try. I'm working on Gingerbread and a new hot cider spice pack." Jack offered. He loved cooking, loved being in the kitchen more than anything else in the world. The only place he loved being more than his kitchen or his Garden was hanging out with Terry. Jack's eyes lit up widely as he grinned at his best friend. "Oh I remember that, didn't we get a weeks worth of Kitchen duty because we accidentally ran over one of the Praetors with a sled?" He really couldn't help but smile at the memory. His memories were really precious to him. And the ones he made now were even more precious. "Or that one time we 'accidentally' filled up the kitchen with so much food no one could open the doors up? I personally thought that the punishment was unjustified." Jack said with a sniff of his nose.
