Growing Season

A little over a week had passed since the Kindred’s arrival on Geluk, and they were finally falling into a routine. Heather had created a schedule, assigning who would prepare each meal and who would clean up afterward. When Alp noticed Heather had left her name off the list, she made her redo it with Alp in the rotation.

“No special treatment for me, Heather. We all have to carry our weight here if this is going to work.”

Heather responded, “You have enough problems just getting us all to cooperate and get along."

“It doesn't matter. We all work the same,” Alp reminded her.

Connie awoke the next morning and noticed blood stains on her pant legs that seemed to come from between her legs. Not knowing what was happening, she ran to Alp.

Tabitha overheard their worried talking and said,“Oh, that’s nothing to worry about. That happened to me some weeks ago. It just means you’re having your first period. I went on the internet and learned all about it.

“You mean it’s normal?” Connie asked as the other girls gathered around to listen.

“Perfectly normal,” Tabitha replied. “It just means we’re growing into adulthood.” She then proceeded to give everyone a crash course in female sexuality, obviously enjoying being the center of attention for a change. That seemed to settle everyone down. Alp helped even more by getting the fashion show going after a breakfast of canned fruit and cooked rice.

The fashion show had been a grand success as well with each girl going through the bags and finding clothes that both fit their size and their personal preferences. It was one of the first times any of them had the opportunity to select what they wanted to wear. Even though the clothes were old hand-me-downs, everyone enjoyed trying on different shirts and pants until they found items that fit their personality. For once, everyone seemed very pleased and happy.

The garden was perhaps their greatest success thus far. Even though the seeds had been in the ground less than a week, many of them had already sprouted. Each row had a clearly marked sign indicating what grew in that area which included green beans, okra, leaf lettuce, spinach, and carrots.

When Damba dropped by to check on their progress, his eyes bugged out to see the garden’s progress. “When did you plant these?” He asked as he counted up the days on his fingers. “Most of those vegetables should take at least two weeks to sprout, especially in this cool spring weather.”

He stared at Alp as the two of them walked between a couple of the rows. “What’s going on here?” He asked.

“What do you mean?” Alp replied with a look of innocence on her face. “We’re growing vegetables so we can have some fresh food for a change. I think we’ll also have enough to share with your village; maybe make some brownie points along the way.”

“Brownie points?” Damba asked, then added, “Never mind about that now. What I want to know is
