Tough Act (Renee, Mia, Harmony)

[Event !]

Mia Bell and Harmony Muller-Barton are assigned to wash Renee Hendrick's car.

Sunglasses on, hair up in a bun, and yellow sandals criss-crossing over her feet, Renee rolled her red Prius into the designated area where it was to be washed. She put on the brake and shut the engine before stepping out in her white and pink floral sundress. "You kids ready?" she asked, putting her hands keenly on her hips and tilting her head to the side. It was going to be a long and hot day, but hopefully the children would get something out of it. And whoever was hoarding the funds to the fund raiser.

The woman smiled, "If you do a good enough job, tips might be available too." Maybe she could get them to detail the car too. Not that there was much inside to clean, just some normal wear and tear.

[Mia Bell]

It was car wash time, Mia was anything but excited. She had volunteered to do this, but had forgotten that her clothing items to wear were restricted for reasons she rather not discuss. Yet thankfully, she was still able to find something comfortable enough to wear. A one piece bathing suit, that she actually had to go out and buy, skinny jeans, combat boots (the only shoes she likes and feels comfortable wearing), arm warmers, and last but not least (and her favorite part of the outfit) the hat that River gave her.

Mia stood near the ice cream stand, she didn’t know why she was, it wasn’t like she could eat any of it… Soon a car came up and she was assigned to it with someone names Harmony; who ever that is, maybe someone she could become friends with? She smiled at the lady who had gotten out of the car. “Hello! Thanks for supporting the Hammel fund raiser for the retreat!” She raised an eyebrow at how the lady was talking to them, did Mia look like a charity? Unless the tips went to the fundraiser then Mia didn’t care about them.

[Harmony Muller-Barton]

Harmony was not exactly thrilled to be here and that was perfectly clear from her face and general body language. She glared first at the car approaching her and the older girl. Next at the buckets of sopay water. This was just wonderful. Her uncle was going to get an ear full this evening. How could he make her do this? Just because she'd broken into his car. It wasn't like she'd actually driven away in it. (Of course that was mostly because he'd caught her before she'd had a chance to try). Still washing everyone else car in Pilot Ridge seemed way too harsh.

"Great..." Harmony said, her voice laced with sarcasm. Maybe this lady could use a few tips about better way to clean her car. If she was looking for a good job then the Hammel rejects wasn't the best idea.

At leas the girl she was assigned with...Mia, according to the list didn't seem like a total dweeb. Harmony loved her hair and dress actually. Still she was waiting for the girl to open her mouth and prove how much of a idiot she was. History had taught her she wouldn't have to wait long.

"Lets get this over with," Harmony said, throwing some water at the car.

Renee should've been more sensitive, of course these kids were here for the charity, but sometimes it was involuntary and they needed a little extra motivation to get the job done. But the fact that the pink haired girl genuinely cared for the charity(that much was apparent in how she greeted the trainer) made her genuinely happy. "Thank you," she said. "You're Mia, aren't you?" Renee had seen her around campus. Of course, there was also talk among the teachers about the girl who blew in her wall. "Your people skills are wonderfully professional. I wish I was so together at your age." Renee dimpled her cheeks up as she smiled down at the girl.

One look at the younger girl and Renee had to hold back the urge to just curl the child in her arms because her petulant demeanor was just too adorable for words. It was obvious she didn't want to be there, but she was just so angry and adorable! "And what should I call you?" she asked, offering the girl a slender smile.

Thinking back, however, Renee wished she'd brought the motorcycle instead. She still kept one, like in her younger days, but rarely rode it anymore. But it might've been something nice for the kids to look at and play with a little. Instead Renee had to bring her boring environmentally-friendly hybrid car. Oh, well, can't change the past may as well go with it. "That's the spirit!" she teased as the younger one started. "Make sure you wash around the ears too."
