::The spring semester had officially come to a close with the end of exam period. While public schools had to deal with senior skip day, their proms, and senior pranks, the Professor had organized a better funnel for everyone's energy: field day.
All of the students were welcome and encouraged to participate; he would act as referee, to make certain no rules were broken, and that the games proceeded as impartially as possible. Logan and Pietro had volunteered to be team captains, and powers were off limits, a fact he had needed to stress to Pietro four times. Pietro had the Blue Team, and Logan had the Gold Team. Jerseys to wear over their normal clothing were available for the students.
The winning team would receive small trophies he had had made for them, and everyone would then enjoy a picnic for supper.
The equipment from the shed was out, waiting for everyone, including the large trampoline for gymnastics, and the flags for a game of capture the flag. He smiled to himself while he waited for the students to arrive; he so enjoyed this day, and wished that he could more actively participate.::

Taking Shade's advice to 'get out more' he sauntered out onto the grounds toward the mass of markers, flags, balls and god knows what. Something about 'throwing' and 'deep ends' crossed his mind as he reached the professor, "Can I play?"

"Of course," ::The Professor told Matthew; he was quite glad to see that the young man had decided to join the festivities. He had been depressed, brooding, as he worked to free himself of his addiction.
The Professor was dressed in a typical referee's black and white striped scheme, with a whistle around his neck. The box of jerseys was beside him, and he held up a blue jersey and a yellow one.:: "Which team would you prefer?"

"Which team won't mind losing so much?" he jested, examing the blue jersey.

"That depends," ::The Professor said with a gentle smile. He knew Matthew jested, but the two team captains could both be competitive in their own right.:: "Gold is Logan's team, and blue is Pietro's dream."

"Hmm, angry wolf-man or angry albino...decisions, decisions" he mumbled, before settling for blue, fumbling the jersey over his head, "I never really was one for yellow"

"I'm certain Pietro will be happy to have you onboard," ::The Professor said, which was half-true on the surface. Pietro certainly had nothing against Matthew, but he could never be said to be "happy" about anything.::

His eyes panned, slowly, comedically around where all the equipment was set up, "Is anyone else on board?"

(( After 'Coming Back ))
Sadie had only been back at the school for about two days now and heard about the field day. Even though she didn't sign up for it, she guessed they could always use some extra help. She hurried outside seeing that not a lot of people were there.
She could make out the Professor but couldn't make out the other person. Sadie walked up seeing the different equipment out for the different activities. "Can I still join?" she asked the Professor as she approached him.

"Yes, but you know how students are about waking up before noon," ::The Professor retorted to Matthew. Quite a few students had signed up for the activities, but he was also an early riser, and students tended not to be. They would arrive soon.
Within minutes, Sadie approached, dressed for the day and interested in participating.:: "Of course you may, Sadie. Would you like to be Gold Team or Blue Team?"

Sadie shrugged her shoulders looking at the two colors. She wasn't a big fan of either color but she could care less on what color she got. "It really doesn't matter. Either color is fine I guess," she replied back to him.

"If you plan on winning anything, I suggest not picking blue" offering his self deprecating advice.

"Well, I never minded winning," she replied to him. "So I'll take your advise." She smiled and then said to the Professor, "I'll have yellow I guess Professor."

"Matthew, if you take that attitude, you will not have any fun today," ::The Professor gently chided the young man. He answered Sadie's request by selecting a yellow jersey and handing it to her.:: "Here you are, Sadie. Your team leader will be Logan."

"Ok, thanks Professor," she replied back to him. She took the jersey and held it up against her. It looked a little big, but she knew she would be all right with it.
