Setting
Officially, the homecoming happened a week ago, hugs and kisses, streamers and balloons. There had even been a parade for the heroes coming home to their loved ones. The bright sun shown on this Saturday morning would offer a different event. A barbeque, catered by a local and for family and friends only. The bright green grass seemed to shine that morning, gracefully swaying in the spring wind. The weather was going to be nice for that day, it might be a little hot in the afternoon. The picnic area was decorated already, in red white and blue. There seemed to be a patriotic theme running through the town this week, so if one got tired of such a thing then they would just have to deal with it.
Life itself seemed to be moving on, but who truly knows. At least for the moment there was going to be a gathering of people, who had been through many things together.
There were activities to do, just in case things got to emotional. Someone had even thrown a football in the mix.
There was a big sign painted in a stroking cursive with the words "Welcome Home" on it. Not to far from the picnic area was a children's playground, a swing set being the most prominent object in the middle. A see-saw sat on one side and a merry go round sat on the other. Monkey bars were also set in the mix as well as a bouncy horse on a spring. Off a little ways was a sandbox, fresh sand had been added and someone had decided to leave a set of toys by it. Bathrooms were also nearby as well as a water fountain.
