joel and ellie

can i come back to the fun splash pad (i ask pathetically wearing those arm swim floaties) i even have an offering…ellie falls asleep with one of the dogs bc dogs are nice and relaxing and its easy to get swept away by warm fur and steady breathing but then the dog wakes up and then leaves, managing to shut and latch the door leaving ellie passed out on the dog bed which is where tommy and joel eventually find her (and take her picture bc their feral child is actually in a kennel on a dog bed with a dog toy and the prophecy of ellie being a wild animal is true)

the tiktok prank of people telling their managers extremely specific unimportant things has me laughing imagining joel's trainees doing it to him in jackson

WAIT WAIT WAIT BABEY ELLIE IS THE ONE WHO GETS TRAPPED IN THE DOG KENNELS. she is already known to be an escape artist and so ellie’s missing is still a terrifying statement but also one joel and tess are far too used to so they check all her regular spots and when she doesn’t turn up that’s when they enter Parental Panic mode. meanwhile bb thought that since uncle tommy took her to visit the puppies nobody would mind if she went again and lo and behold. the door locks. and bb is like *surprised pikachu* because she did Not expect that. and whether she’s nervous or not because of FEDRA she knows that jackson is safe and also she’s with a bunch of puppies and that’s like the ultimate spot to hang out in so while mama & daddy are turning jackson upside down she’s partying it on up with a bunch of lil puppies. and then maybe like tommy or someone goes to grab a tracking dog because the sun is setting soon and they have to find her he spots bb just passed out with all the puppies because they all had a rambunctious funtime and then promptly crashed

Ellie leaning memes would be catastrophic. Joel already thought her lame puns were funny but with more material in her arsenal she’d be unstoppable

trying to go to bed but cackling about the idea of ellie trying to sit down and make an agreement with joel listing out the animals she is allowed to bring back as a pet if she sees them out in the wild
