Fandom 1x1 RP with Gummy Worm

[Mercuri]

--starter--

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon and Rusty was outside in the front yard of his home fixing an old scooter of his that he planned to sell later on. An array of tools lay across the grass, ranging from different sized screwdrivers to tiny bolts. The scooter was one from his childhood, though he didn't use it very often. For some time, it sat rotting away in his parent's basement, never seeing the light of day again.
As of recently, Rusty had been getting more and more into the habit of fixing things, even going as far as to take apart something that was completely fine just to put it back together again. He wanted a way to make some money before getting his own job, so what a better way than to fix and sell things that he and his family no longer used?

Letting out a tired sigh, Rusty sat back on the grass and looked over the scooter. It was just about fixed, only needing a few more screws here and there. A smile grew on his face, the kelpie proud of his work.

Jack sighed as he set his bike to the side. He often came by Rustys place after school. ever since the two went to different high schools Jack missed the Kelpie. he came up the gravel drive way and smiled a little as he saw Rusty hard at work...per usual. hi tail wagged a bit as he came up beside him "Hey Rust" he said setting down his bag and sitting down "Hey I remember this! This is the scooter I broke my arm on" he said with a giggle

 

[Mercuri]

Rusty turned his attention to the dog that now sat next to him: It was Jack!
His smile grew bigger as he greeted him and chuckled. "Yeah, that was a pretty bad accident." He noticed Jack's backpack laying on the grass beside him. The idea of him and Jack having to attend different schools absolutely crushed Rusty, but no matter how much he pleaded to his parents, they were dead set on their decision. Going from class to class without his best friend by his side just didn't feel right.

Pushing those saddening thoughts aside, Rusty picked up one of the smaller screwdrivers and went back to screwing another bolt into the scooter. "So, how was your day? At school, I mean."

 

[Gummy Worm]

"Meh, Senior year." he said with a shrug "you'd think your last year would be LESS stressful" he joked and giggled "Have you decided what you wanna do after this year?" he asked sitting closer to Rusty and watching closer. Jack loved to watch Rusty tinker and work. he could spend the whole day doing it and hardly notice that Jack was around.

 

[Mercuri]

Rusty hummed, pondering on what exactly he wanted to do once he graduated. The choices were endless, really. He could go and learn to be a mechanic and tinker with cars, or maybe he could follow in his father's paw steps and enroll in the army. He could be police officer or possibly become a construction worker. "Honestly, I need a little more time to think."
He noticed Jack move slightly closer to him, but he paid it no mind. The company of his friends, especially Jack, made him quite happy.
After the last few bolts were finally screwed in, the scooter was fixed. Rusty tossed the tools into his father's toolbox and turned to Jack. "You thirsty? I think we've got some lemonade in the fridge."

 

[Gummy Worm]

"yes please!" he said with a smile looking at Rusty, While yes Jack always came by to see Rusty today "hanging out" wasn't his only intention "Hey um...I-I was wondering..." he started looking down at his swaying feet "Um...Mackenzie was having a party this weekend and I was wondering if um...you'd like to go...with me...J-Just y'know...as friends?" He said his face growing hot as he avoided eye contact

 

[Mercuri]

Rusty pushed himself up off the ground with a huff and placed his paws on his hips. "Uh... Yeah sure. Don't think I'd be busy this weekend, so why not."
He jogged into his house to grab two glasses of fresh cold lemonade, coming back out a couple minutes later. One glass was handed over to Jack, while the other was kept for Rusty.

 

[Gummy Worm]

The Jack Russell smiled and took the glass before taking a sip "G-great!" he said with a smile "Im not sure whos all going, so far all I know is Bluey, Mackenzie, Snickers, and well...you and me" he said with a giggle. Jack hadn't really ever been to a party before so this was sure to be a new experience to him, especially with his best friend there.

 

[Mercuri]

Rusty also took a drink of his lemonade, downing it quite quickly considering he was exhausted.
He didn't leave his home often; only to go to school or practice for a sport he was partaking in. Tinkering with things every now and then was fun for sure, but eventually it does get tiring. As long as he got permission from his parents, he could go to this party and finally give himself a chance to do something new for once.
"Y'know what kind of party it is? Like uh.. is it a birthday part or somethin'?"

 

[Gummy Worm]

"Not sure! All Mackenzie said was his parents were out of town so he was throwing a party" he said with a shrug. Jack smiled and stretched out looking up at the sky "Y'know ever since we moved closer into town I haven't really been home... I spend most my time with you" he said looking back at Rusty, "I mean...not that I'm complaining"

 

[Mercuri]

"Yeah," Rusty chuckled. "When I can, I do like spending time with ya'." That wasn't to say that he didn't enjoy spending time with his others friends like Bluey and the others, but Jack was his best friend for a reason. He was the one he spent the most time with and usually had the most fun with, afterall!

Rusty stared awkwardly at his empty glass cup, the sun reflecting off of the material and into his eye, but it didn't bother him. "Do you wanna go for a walk with me? Maybe a little 'round the neighborhood?"

 

[Gummy Worm]

Jack looked up and his tail started to wag "Y-yeah!" he said getting up ready to go almost like Rusty was holding a tennis ball to throw. "I haven't had a nice walk for a while"

 

[Mercuri]

(I'M BAAAAAAACK)

"Yeah. Good thing for this nice weather, eh?" Rusty picked up the scooter, putting the handle underneath his arm and reached out a hand. "Here, let me take your empty glass before we get goin'."

 

[Gummy Worm]

(Yay!!)

Jack nodded a bit and handed him the glass before stretching and smiling. "ok! ill be here" he said with a giggle looking up at the clouds

 

[Mercuri]

Rusty quickly took the items inside, making sure to wash the glass cup because his mother did not appreciate any dirty dishes in the sink. Within a few minutes, he was back outside and ready to get going. He made a 'come on' gesture with his head as he began walking down the road.

 

[Gummy Worm]

Jack quickly followed his stride and smiled. Rusty was taller than him so the jack rustle was covered by his shadow. "So where are we walking to?" he asked looking around as he skipped along the path happily
