Jamie seems like the type of guy to have like lollipops all over his house because they're a good quick sugar boost and they're fun

!! Jamie has an oral fixation (chews on his sweatshirt drawstrings, bites his nails when he's nervous, chews gum constantly) so I can def see him taking to lollipops to quit biting his nails

Completely Harmless Ch. 28

Completely Harmless An SSO SilverGlade Re-imagining Story (Or Fix it Fan Salt fic) By Ginny O.

When Lily and her friends wanted to buy horses and were directed to the Silverglade Manor and its myriad of problems, they didn’t expect to start a revolution. They were just a bunch a stable girls. Completely harmless. Right?

Chapter Twenty-Eight Planning Rainbow Week Pt. 3

Ginny sighed. “I feel like I’ve monopolized this meeting.”

“You haven’t,” Pauline reassured her.

“Well, you know most of what we’re doing already then, the ride through the Mirror Marsh. Syntax is playing in the town square. We’re using a heart that’s made of holding hands for our charm to represent how we’re working together to save our stable. I wouldn’t trust Jamie Olivetree to cook or bake anything. So, I’m a bit at a loss for that. But I had an idea for a craft. We can do rainbow window decorations. They look like stain glass, but it’s all plastic and markers and glue mixed with paint. Or they can make the kite paper ones, which is kite paper, cardboard and glue, easy peasy.”

“Those sound great.”

“We can choose some other shapes, but really great for the younger members.” Ginny grinned.

“Right,” Lily nodded. “We need to cater to them too other than making them hyped up on sugar.”

“Oh god, do we have so much sugar on this list,” Pauline groaned. “Ladies, we better string this out.”

There was more laughter.

“Okay, so, bear with me,” One of the girls said. “Since you don’t trust Jaime to bake. I went to this other summer camp last year, and it was a sleep away camp where you took different skill classes and had dinner in the dining hall.”

“Why can’t we do that here?” One of the girls asked.

“But they had this one dessert that was essentially rainbow marshmallows and chocolate. They took the marshmallows, mixed them with chocolate that wasn’t hot enough to melt them, and then shaped it in like a yule log or put it into aluminum foil boxes with parchment paper and added more chocolate until it was full. Then they cut them into slices. They called them stainglass windows. So, not only do you have something that goes with your craft, you don’t have to have Jaime do anything.”

Ginny groaned. “I could kiss you. Yes. We’ll take it.”

“Okay, that leave us, I guess,” Kelsey said. “We’re using the Celtic Infinity Knot for our symbol.”

“Mr. Wetton has found you a Celtic Group.”

“We’ll have them perform out by the spooky big tree,” Kelsey said. “Now, Madison had an idea, and it’s a good one to run with the Welshies as part of our event.”

“Well, that’s really cool, actually.” Penny said.

“And, we have a huge beach thing, it goes from the Hermit’s house, all the way over to the other side of the Peninsula that goes up near the tree.” Kelsey rubbed her forehead. “So, we thought, a race? We can make it a group race like the Jorvik Stable’s race.”

They all nodded.

“That’s fair,” Josefina said.

“We should have more than one group race,” Pauline made a note of it.

“And we’re doing these rainbow swirl cookies that look like lollipops, rainbow cotton candy, rainbow churros, and rainbow shaved ice with ice cream in the middle.”

Madison is taking this seriously,” Cathy said, her voice very dry.

“Of course she is,” Ingrid said with a smile. “She’s young.”

“We haven’t talked anyone into the Highland Cattle yet. But I think we’re getting there.” Kelsey said. “Not that anyone is really going to listen to us until something horrible happens. I mean, we helped them with their shipwreck but that got us trust and a spot on the peninsula, nothing more.”

“Craft,” Cathy glowered at her.

“Oh right, the craft.”

“We’re going to have Seashells you can paint,” Cathy said. “It’s been keeping everyone busy and with us on the beach, Mr. Anwir refuses to come close.”

“So, we’re going to have sharpies and rubbing alcohol for the kids, some puffy paint for the intermediate painters, and alcohol inks for the experts.” Kelsey grinned. “They can turn them into necklaces, bracelets, earrings, headbands, whatever makes them happy.”

Cathy jumped in. “Hugh is happy to have people come and give tours of the Rescue Ranch.”

“Oh thank goodness, we don’t want to bother him too much.”

“He thinks it’s great publicity.”

Pauline shifted in her chair. “Okay, I have one last idea. I know it’s not Happy Horse Week but it will be a taste of it.”

Lily raised a brow at her.

“Every one of us has a paddock. New Hillcrest can borrow the Dew Farm in Epona’s if necessary,” Pauline said. “I think we should have a special event in the paddocks specifically for the horses, and only the horses of our stables. It can be a show jumping event or a dressage event or a show type of event where they jog their horses around to show them off.”

“Oh, Pony flag race!” Polly piped up. “I’ve been wanting to do one of those and with the bunting for the day this would be perfect. Have seven flags in each color and they have to go and get them and come back one at a time.”

“Tedious but give enough experience or one of Lowe’s exchanges, they’ll do it.”

“Or lots of experience and an exchange item,” Amelia said. “This is a good idea. I like it, oui.”

Loretta grimaced at her phone. “What is taking them so long?”

“What is taking us so long?” Pauline rubbed her forehead and checked her notes.

Lily texted Regina. “Ohkay, they’re arguing in the store. Just send us some options. Yeesh.”

Phones buzzed as Regina threw them all into a group chat and uploaded pictures.

“Okay those half circle buntings we need for the races.”

“Same for the triangle ones that are the stripes, not the solids. We’ve got solids already,” Kate said.

“We should have the solid ones for the pony race,” Penny added as she texted that into the chat.

“All right, I’m seeing 2 foil balloons here.”

“Why not make the fuzzy ombre ones for the parade route and Moorland’s festival space, they’ll go with the bows and the ombre sequin bunting swags there,” Pia said. “And then the hard stripe ones for everywhere else.”

“You’re the only one who has seen these bows.” Lily reminded her.

Pia dug into her phone and uploaded a picture into the group chat.

“Ah, yes, agreed,” Pauline said as she added it to the list. “The arches need something more than ivy.”

“Streamers, these ones here have some great circle paillettes with them, tres chic,” Josefina double tapped it. “Mix it in with the ivy, it won’t be as noticeable or bright.”

“And might make the inside more of a rainbow as the sun goes through it.”

“I hope we don’t have rain,” one of the girls groaned.

“Oh, we can use the clouds with the dangling rainbow hearts to hang from the trees,” Ami brightened. “That would be pretty. They’re plastic, so reusable even if it does rain.”

“And the heart shaped garland for the stable fronts, and inside too.”

Josefina shuddered. “This could get so tacky very quickly.”

“Okay, then what about those big hearts in the solid colors that are studded with pearls? I think those are pearls.”

“They can go on building doors and along fences.”

They nixed some of the other options including a long fabric rainbow bunting and hearts that were rainbow from the inside out. They were hard on the eyes.

“And, that’s, that’s actually kind of nice,” Loretta said grudgingly of the backdrop. They’d done it up in Bobcat colors with a light pink curtains right behind a white circle that had yellow roses on the upper right and pink heart shaped crystal beads draped across it. To either side of the light pink curtains were darker more Bobcat pink curtains.

In the chat, someone use a confetti trumpet emoji. There were hearts and happy faces.

Lastly, they sent a display of cloud lanterns they could put inside the stables and covered areas. They had LED Lights hanging down. They could get them in rainbow colors. Or one of the girl’s noted, they could do the hearts like the smaller plastic clouds they thought would be good in the trees.

“Okay, I know everyone has a big cache of the LED lanterns with the heart cut outs, so might as well use them.”

“No candles.”

“Not unless they’re LED candles.”

They all looked at each other. “Yeah, no,” one said.

“We need a piñata,” someone murmured.

“Where? Fort Pinta?”

“If Madison finds out,” Kelsey warned.

“Let’s do a bunch in Fort Pinta for the kids there, we have to vary this up!”

“Between Mr. Peanut posing for photos, Isebell Figg doing street magic, and Pinatas it will be something of a carnival.” Pia said with a smile.

“Which is exactly what Madison wants,” Kelsey groaned. She rubbed her face.

They all looked at each other and shrugged.

“Jugglers, fire eaters.”

“Yeah, we’re getting into circus stuff now,” Lily said.

“Don’t tell Ydris,” someone muttered.

“Don’t tell Madison about Ydris. He’d turn her into a monkey in a tutu so fast,” Lily said.

They all giggled at that image.

Loretta and Tan swallowed hard. The other girls didn’t actually mean to dig, but they felt it like a dig at them.

“I don’t think that would be good around the horses anyways, fire eaters and jugglers.”

“Definitely not.”

“You have a huge moor to take up,” Lily said with a shrug.

Kelsey shook her head. “I think we’ve bitten off enough.”

Pauline shoved the list over to Lily. It’d been written across a map of the area.

“I agree,” Lily said after she read it over. “Okay, honestly, this calls for celebratory food.”

“I’ll go order some pizza.”

“You know, Courtney doesn’t make half bad chicken wings and those double baked potatoes.”

“Just,” Lily pushed it away and put her head in her arms.

“Ice cream,” Pauline patted her head. “Definitely ice cream.”

A couple of them laughed and ran out to order food. When the phones buzzed, the rest left leaving Loretta and Lily alone.

Loretta fidgeted. “How long are you going to treat me with so much disrespect?”

Lily looked up and straightened. Her brows rose noticing everyone else was missing, including Tan. “The thing about respect. You have to earn it.”

Loretta pursed her lips.

“You and your girls treated us like dirt and expected us to do all the hard labor.”

“You were trying out for the Club. It’s expected.”

Lily rolled her eyes. “Loretta, everything around you is for beginners. It’s not that difficult. You didn’t treat us with respect. So, we left. If you want to be friends, be friendly.”

Loretta wasn’t the type to slump in her seat.

“You going to treat Jojo Siwa like the rest of us or am I going to have to assign an ambassador?”

“No. She’s somebody.”

Lily leaned back and stared at the ceiling. “Oh, where do I start with that one?”

Loretta huffed. “You’re all nobody.”

“You don’t know that,” Lily dropped her chin back down to meet Loretta’s eyes. “You have no idea who anyone of us could be. We could be as rich as Anne Von… whatever her name is or royalty or anything because we don’t tell you.”

Loretta scoffed. “If any of you were rich and famous, I’d know.”

“There are a lot of rich people who aren’t famous and don’t want to be,” Lilly rubbed the back of her neck. “Treating everyone the same is really, the only way to go about it. You can’t make snap judgement, especially when Thomas is handing everyone the same uniform the first day.”

Loretta rolled her eyes.

“To us, you’re nobody,” Lily said bluntly. “The mean girl with the crush on her employer’s son.”

Loretta stiffened and glared at her.

Lily shrugged a shoulder. “Calling it like I see it, Lori.”

“I was here first.”

“And you’re a backwater club, at a backwater summer camp, where you can lord your superior riding skills over campers with none at all,” Lily raised her brows. “I don’t think anyone else would put up with you and your airs.”

Loretta tensed.

The door opened and the others came back with food.

Lily didn’t know what it was going to take to get through to the other girl. They just needed this Rainbow Week to go well and for Loretta to try not and take all the credit.

--

There were piles and piles of boxes in the courtyard of the Silverglade Equestrian Center. “The Siwanators bogged us down with tons of bows. They’ve been busy. Like a two person assembly line,” Regina said. “Productive meeting?”

Lily sat on the boxes. “Outside of Loretta, yeah.”

“What did she do now?”

“She wants respect.” Lily shrugged.

Linn jogged over. She leaned over putting her hands on her knees. “So, the Baroness wants to see us at the Riding Arena.”

Lily met Regina’s eyes. “No more long meetings.”

They mounted their horses and trotted down to the Riding Arena. Baroness Silverglade stood out of the way in the show jumping side of the arena. The slightest twist of her lips could convey a multitude of emotions.

Right now they were slightly turned downward. Slightly pursed. The Baroness wasn’t pleased.

Lily approached with caution. “Baroness Silverglade,” she said.

“Tell me, Lily, will this do for the fine upstanding reputation of the Silverglade family?” She gestured at the arena.

Lily glanced around at the showjumping arena. “Not when we have distinguished visitors coming,” she said it quite carefully.

The Baroness met her eyes and walked serenely out of the Arena.

Lily braced her elbow on one hand and cupped her face. Her lips pressed together and she restrained several screams by making exaggerated faces.

“Well,” Regina said. “Well.”

Lily spun on her toe and marched to the other side of the Arena. While, the huge space didn’t have jumps set up in it, it was being used by a group of dressage riders as they practiced their formations.

Lily worked her jaw licking her lips, her mouth opening and shutting.

“I see an underutilized space,” Regina said.

“We need a schedule,” Pauline said.

Lily gestured at her. It was a clear ‘get it done’ type of hand wave.

Regina put her arm around Lily. “Okay, I think you need a break. You’re taking far too much responsibility on yourself.”

“A nap,” Linn said. “Go ahead and take a nap, Lily. When you wake up, we’ll have a schedule arranged to get everything done before Rainbow Week.”

Lily looked between them and cracked. “Are you two sure?”

“Yes, we’re sure,” Pauline said. “All three of us. Delegation will get things done faster.”

Lily hugged each other mumbling thank yous. She jogged off and took the trailer back to the stable, even though it really wasn’t that far away.

Regina, Pauline, and Linn looked at each other.

“Let’s do this thing,” Pauline said firmly.

Linn pulled out her phone.

“We’re going to either have to kick everyone out, or clean at night,” Regina said looking around. “Wow, you just don’t think about how many people are wandering about all the time.”

“Linda thinks we should meet in the library,” Linn reported.

“This is one meeting right after another,” Pauline shook her head.

They rode through the gardens back up the main house marveling at the amount of work they’d actually gotten done. The manor was well on its way to being spectacular. The workman of the tunnel waved at them as they threaded through the trees to go up the road for a bit.

They put their horses in the stalls and gave Lily’s an extra pat or two as they passed.

Linda, Agnetha, and the rest of the club met them in the library.

Pauline sat at the head of the table and heaved a huge sigh. “Right. So, the Baroness has just shoved the refurbishment of the Riding Arena into our laps. We need a plan on how to tackle this so everything gets done in time for the Rainbow Festival.”

Linda adjusted her glasses. “Girls, we have done a prodigious amount of work over the last month in order to make this place remotely presentable. I can talk to the Baroness about putting off the Riding Arena until after the Rainbow Festival.”

“We have a week,” Regina said. “I think if we have a structured plan in place, break things up into groups like we did in the beginning, we can get everything done. It’s Lily is taking a lot of this personally.”

“She’s got all the emotional labor problems too,” Abigail leaned in propped her chin on her hands. “That’s as much work as physical labor.”

“And we’ve all been focusing on the garden since we’ve got contractors doing the work for the Ice Cream bar and the tunnel. Aaron and Anastasia are focused on getting people hired. So, maybe we gave a false impression of how much we can actually do in a set amount of time.” Pauline winced. “Which is on us.”

“Right. This is vacation and you’re working as hard as you would in school,” Linda protested. “You’re supposed to be here to have fun and meet everyone in the county and ride through the races to train your new horses.”

“Right, we have to make them worth 75,000 shillings somehow.” Regina said flippantly.

Agnetha frowned. “Linda’s correct. Annabella and I have been taking dreadful advantage of you girls.”

“We volunteered,” Pauline pointed out.

Brittany nodded. “Something weird is going on here in South New Jorvik County. We don’t know what it is, neglect, the G.E.D., Dark Core interference, whatever it is, but something fishy is going on here. I mean, is the place just poor or what?”

Linda grimaced. “I’m not really from around here either. Alex Cloudmill hails from Jorvik City, so she doesn’t know either.”

Agnetha shrugged. She didn’t know either.

“Well, let’s work on what we can control,” Regina said pushing the worries about G.E.D. and Dark Core aside to work with another day.

“We need to finish the Folly Gardens,” Pauline said.

“Set up the event Pavilion. Clean up and plant gardens around the Pavilion and the Riding Arena. Install Lighting, benches and urn features.”

“Install the last Duck Coop behind the Arena.”

“Clean the Arena. Replace the Jumps in the Show Jumping side.” Linn said. “They’re old and they don’t fit the theme anymore.”

“Clean the tunnel once the workers are finished.”

“Clean and install furniture in the Wine Cellar. Decorate the Wine Cellar.”

“Decorate for Rainbow Week,” Regina said.

“And that has to be enough for now,” Linda said.

“We should get some of those window sun catchers and decorations from Riley and Ginny for the Arena,” Pauline muttered.

“Since we have the only arena.”

“Oh, well,” Pauline’s eyes lit up. “Ginny and Susan are going to try and convince Mr. Kemball to build them an arena.”

They all stared at each other for a moment, huffed, and burst into giggles.

“Linda,” Linn started with a quiver to her voice, “Can we shut down the Riding Arena to fix it? We can put it off until the last two days if we must, since I’m sure we’re going to want a full day to decorate right before Rainbow Week begins.”

“I mean, this isn’t Christmas where we decorate two months in advance,” Stacy said offhandedly.

Linda smiled softly. “I’ll make a sign that it will be closed those days for cleaning and refurbishing.”

“Thank you!” Linn slumped.

“Okay,” Pauline said as she fiddled with the schedule. “We’ve got seven days or whatever. Tomorrow we can do a huge push to finish the last terrace. Day two, clean up the Pavilion and Riding Arena space, install lighting, benches, duck coop, and the urns. Day Three: Set up the Pavilion, plant the gardens. Day Four, Clean up the tunnel and do the Wine Cellar. Day Five, whatever isn’t done. Day Six, Riding Arena Clean Up and Refurbishment. Day Seven: Decorate.”

Linda nodded. “That sounds reasonable.”

“And you’ve got yourselves a slush day.”

“Then we take the week off to ride all around the county and have fun,” Regina said firmly.

“Get sick on cotton candy at South Hoof,” Pauline mused. “Do a treasure hunt in Cape West.” Pauline blinked. “Oh right,” she found a paper and slid it over to Linda. “Our schedule of events things to do if you want to put it up online.”

Linda brightened. “That will be great. We can have so many visitors. Get your friends to send me pictures for Jorvikgram. I’ll get this up on the website. You know, I don’t think there’s an actual county website for events.”

“Then there should be,” Stacy said.

“And if you build it, you need to get paid for it,” Regina added on.

“And by the good and fluffly lord, do not let Aaron moderate it,” Pauline rolled her eyes.

“Or Anastasia,” one of the girls said under her breath.

“Now,” Agnetha glared at them. “The rest of you go join Lily and get some rest. Everything will keep until tomorrow.”

“Don’t work you and Bjorn to death without us!” One of the girl’s admonished her.

Agnetha gave her a tiny smile.

It was weird, but somehow through working together, Agnetha had become like their prickly aunt.

Linda poked at her phone. She never noticed the rest of them leave.
