Both of them had grown several inches over what felt like just a week and need what it felt like whole new wardrobes. Anyway bowling, Aurora was here to bowl and have some fun. She hadn't bowled in ages.

Choosing a lane she picked up a bowling ball and then just stared at the bottles and vials. Was she supposed to hit them with her ball just like regular pins? Shaking her head slightly confused Aurora still swung her arm and released her ball towards the bottles and vials only manging to hit one bottle down..Mumbling to herself as she picked up a new ball she said to herself "At least the ball didn't go straight down in the hole without hitting one vial or bottle." So that was something right?

"You need to follow through more," Teddy said with a big smile. How long had he been there? Long enough to enjoy something on Aurora that wasn't her pretty eyes. He mimed what he mean, swinging his arm wildly. "That's they always say right? Follow through..." He remembered something about shaking hands with the headpin, but there really wasn't a headpin here. More like a - headbottle? HA! that sounded really funny. And he'd heard it before in other sports too. Shooting a basketball, hitting a baseball...even when throwing a (American) football.

The golden light floated down the lane until it was over Aurora's head, whereupon it turned into a single, large golden daffodil and drifted gently down onto her head.

"Pitiful attempt," commented the Ball. "I'm right ashamed to ha' been a part of that, I am."

He watched as a golden light flashed and then circled around Aurora only to suddenly turn into a giant daffodil hat. He laughed. "That suits you." Inviting himself to join her, he moved a little closer and adjusted the flower on her head with an intimacy that implied they had done more then go one one or two dates - which was, sadly, all he had been able to get Aurora to commit to.

And then the head was back."Hush you," he told the head as he picked it up and gave it a toss up and down twice. He handed her the shrunken head. "Go on, show me how it's done," he encouraged with a twinkle in his eye.
