Description
This is a WIP piece for EarthVStheDerek's birthday, the full piece (with zoe added, and possibly colored) will be up in the next few daysHis character, Zoe, is a rambunctious girl who happens to live in the state just over from Alex, so they visit from time to time.
Zoe is in a girl scout club called the junior muskrats, and it seems she's persuaded Alex to join, and even don the uniform though alex usually prefers pants.
With their combined clever mischief making, nothing will stand in their way!
Here's his picture of alex and zoe hunting frogs

Dawwww, she's all roughed up. Silly Alex, doesn't she know she's supposed to keep her uniform clean and tidy?

Zoe: "Alex, you finally made it! Here's your official Muskrat Swiss army knife, blow dart launcher, and bear trap. They'll come in handy here, rookie."
(Great, seeing Al in Junior Muskrats uniform. I know the style is a little dainty for her liking, but hopefully the activities will be more up her alley. Thanks for this.)

Alex: "thank you Zoe!" *tucks the army knife and blow dart launcher into the pocket of her poloshirt, and tosses the bear trap next to her backpack* what is my first training assignment Ma'am?

*A tall, thin, and kind of eerie looking woman steps up.*
Woman: "Ah, you must be the new recruit! I'm Miss Trauisch, your den mother. First, let's how fit you are. You look like a strong girl. Bring me that flag from up that pole!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alex: *nods obediently and salutes ms. trauisch, and runs over to the 20 foot tall pole, rubs her hands off on her sash, and then hops up, wraps her legs around the pole and starts climbing it without too much difficulty, and once she makes it she snatches up the flag, crawls down a bit and then leaps the last 3 meters down, landing in a crouch, and with a content little smile hands it to her*
here you are ma'am... Now what? *peeks over at zoe*

Miss Trauicsh: *Smiles* "Very good, cadet. Very good. With that kind of physical prowess, I'll be closer to my goal of world domina- I mean- the best young scout troop in the state. Yyyyes, that's it! Now... let's see how much of a saleswoman you are. Zoe, care to play the costumer?"
Zoe: "Yes, ma'am!" *Gets into character, playing an old person* "Ngyeh! What do you want?" *Thumbs up to Alex*

Alex: Ma’am, I’ve been helpin’ my maw sell stuff at the farmer’s market since I was little, I got this *cracks her knuckles, lets out a little breath, trying not to be nervous in front of Miss Trauicsh, who she really wants to impress*
Alexzoe : Oh, I don’t want anything Sir, but I reckon you could use a little something to sweeten your day *holds up a box of imaginary cookies* Our cookies are made with extra special compound we call sucrose, which is scientifically proven to give you lots of quick energy!
Now… *leans in close to zoe* I ain’t really supposed to do this, but I’ll make an exception for you sir… if you buy nine of these, I’ll throw in the 10th box for free, now I know what you’re thinkin’, but don’t worry , I’ll be alight, it’s worth riskin’ my hide to know that you’ll be munchin’ on these with a smile on your face, plus, you’ll be helpin’ me and my fellow junior muskrats spend less time on new-fangled electronic gizmos! so whady’a say mister? Only 3 bucks a box!

*Zoe, still in character, tips her imaginary glasses.*
Zoe: "Cookies, eh? Why, I was finishing a box as I kicked the Kaiser's butt!... Why, I even remember when cookies were invented. It was a Thursday."
Miss Trauisch: "That's enough Zoe! Very good, Miss Alex. I think you're ready to sell some cookies. Why don't you accompany Zoe on a run?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alex: yes ma'am ^^ *glances over at Zoe* where's the best part of Millburg to get lots of these sold, do yah reckon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zoe: *Pulls out map and points at it.* "Let's try the south end, by the fair grounds. The people there look like they have some extra money."
*She takes Alex to the aforementioned neighborhood. An area of nice houses on a hill, south of the river. Downtown can be seen on the other side.*

*Alex follows close behind Zoe, pulling along a red wagon stacked high with boxes of cookies*
Alex: How often do you go out selling cookies?... is there a prize for whoever sells the most? *grins eagerly*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zoe: "We try to get out and make money every spring. The girl, or girls, who sells the most get a mountain bike, a saleswoman badge, and bragging rights... Well, first house on the block."
*Zoe walks into the gate. Immediately, we hear barks and growls. Zoe exits as fast as she can.*
Zoe: "Well, this presents a problem."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Alex's eyes light up at the idea of a new mountain bike, she enjoys flying around dirt trails in the woods , but her rusty hand-me down is on the verge of falling apart*
Alex: Oh c'mon Zoe, don't be a scaredy cat, he probably just wants to say hello
*Alex runs over to the gate, hops onto it and peeks over to take a look at the dog, who barks loudly and leaps up onto the gate, making alex stumble back off the gate in panic and trip backwards onto the ground*
Alex: yah... What's the plan then... Next house?... Or... We could try and distract the dog
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zoe: "Hey, I never give up that easily! How about you distract the mongrel with some of our delicious sirloin cookies? I'll sneak in to deliver the goods while he's occupied."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alex nodded in agreement, opened up a box of the box of Sirloin cookies (which the scouts had oddly made to sell in exchange for donations from the local butchery... Though they weren't quite as unpopular as one might have though) and loaded the pockets of her overalls with them. She hopped onto the fense again, making sure to lean back a bit incase the dog decided she was what he'd like for a snack, and called out "Hey doggie, catch!" And tossed a cookie out like a frisbee towards the back yard, and then ran around to try and keep the dog distracted, as from the size of him one cookie wouldn't last too long
"Go go!" She shouted back at Zoe, as she sprinted around the corner and chucked another cookie away from the front door

*Zoe nods, then hops the fence and sprints to the door. When the old woman who lives there opens the door, her face of grim determination switches to a cutesy grin. Some talking goes on between them, and the lady hands Zoe money. When the door closes, Zoe goes back to her gruff look and makes a run for the gate. The dog spots her halfway, and makes a run for the girl. The beast lunges right when Zoe reaches the gate. Luckily, she notices in time to duck, letting the dog hit the gate. She jumps to climb the fence. The dog comes to and latches onto her skirt. After some tug of war, Zoe manages to get over back onto the sidewalk on the other side.*
Zoe: "Okay, I got the money for that sale." *Holds up money.* "We're on our way to some new mountain bikes."

Alex: *rushes around the fence, grinning* "heck yah we are, how much loot did we get... Zoe... There's a little rip In your skirt" *gives her a nervous smile "we can patch that up when we're done... Sorry I couldnt keep him more distracted..." *Alex takes the cart, looking at zoe with great respect for risking her hide like that* Next time you distract the dog, and I'll run in, ok?... Who's next on our list?
* Alex looks up ahead at the next house, and pulls the cart down the path to the front door, there's no sign of a big dog to worry about, so the she rings the door bell (one of those fancy ones that double as an intercom that richer houses seem to have) and waits, trying to look confident and processional a couple seconds later a Little girl, maybe 7 and dressed in a pastal blue frock and braids, opens the door and looks up at them Curiously*

Zoe: "Hi! We're selling cookies to raise money for our Junior Muskrat troop. Would you or your legal guardian want to buy a box of our delicious cookies? We've got Choco Minties, Caramel Caramelos, Coconut Nutties, Sirloin Surprise, Sugary Things, and this one that just reads, 'Cookies.'"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The girl opens her mouth as if she was about to say something, then freezes, glances up at them and takes a step back from them, though she eyes the cookies as if she does want some
"something wrong?" Alex asks, and the little girl bites her lip and takes another step back
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Zoe, not wanting to make her feel more uncomfortable, kneels down to the little girl's level.*
Zoe: "It's okay. We're not here to cause any trouble. We just want to share our delicious, sugary cookies with fine townspeople like yourself." *Big cheek-to-cheek grin.*

Girl: Mommy says I'm not allowe to talk to strangers... *covers her mouth, realizing her mistake*

Zoe: "Maybe you could let us talk to Miss Mommy, if that's okay. I'm sure she's a nice lady who would love some of our cookies, and that there's nothing creepy or foreboding going on here."

Girl: *nods, and runs into the house to look for mommy*
Alex: She's was awful cute huh... what were you like at that age Zoe? Already crazy like y'are now?
(Zoe's just asking for some disturbing secret of the house, isn't she 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zoe: "Heyyyyyy!... But, yes. I first got into the Middle Ages and weapons when I was about her age. So, what do you think is up with this place? It's gotta be something?"
(Zoe LIVES to get into some really weird stuff.)

I wanted to put Kid in Scouts- but he'd hate wearing the skirt.

It's a great tribute!
Surprised she got in, I read the US Scouting can be a little discriminative with it's membership.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know much about it myself, though I know traditionally the boy scouts have discriminated against lgbt people and athiests (and I can neither confirm nor deny if alex is in either or both of those groups
For that reason I'm still not sure if she's actually in a group outside of Zoe's world... Maybe I'll make a fictional scouting group, throw in some 4H into it *shrug*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heck they don't let them in! I think you did mention she was atheist once. As for LGBT, heck a tomboy is NOT the "T" and no 11 year old I know would have a clue about that part of themselves... not that there aren't I'm sure.

I'm undecided on both accounts (I'll likely just not mention religion in her story line), and no, Alex is as of yet fairly disinterested in boys and girls alike in any romantic fashion
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Couldn't care less, I find how some cultures see it as a vital way too judge someone as dated.
Yeah it's a mid teen thing. Not that I'd expect her or any kid too know the basics of love and such.
