It is Friday night, and the village of Redhotpawnia is ready for a night of fun. As the twilight settles in, The brightly coloured lights twinkle in the town square. The musicians are setting up in the gazebo in the square, and everywhere people are bustling around preparing for the celebration. Eagles54, Sheriff Phlabbit, and Royal Chicken, and Prad are tuning up their instruments, as brightly coloured table clothes are laid out on tables around the big oak trees in the Square. The men and women of the village are bringing all sorts of dishes of wonderful foods from all over the countryside. Children (and men) are being shooed away from the food as the final preparations are made. Mouths are watering at the sight and smell of the food. There is roast turkey, ham, chicken, and roast beast. There is every kind of salad, fresh sliced tomatoes, steaming corn on the cob, cantaloupe and watermelon. Homebaked breads of all kinds with freshly churned butter in crocks garnish the tables. Rice, potatoes, and dishes with the flavours of the Far East tempt the senses. There is even a tablle far away from the others with raw rotten fish and onions for those who enjoy that sort of thing. The table is downwind of the festivities.
The dessert table is piled high with pies, cakes, cookies, fresh fruit and cream, yoghurt with raisins and cinnamon, and custard.
Across the hills and through the streets, lights sway as the people of Redhotpawnia move towards the sounds of the music and the aromas of good food. Blankets are being spread on the ground and an area is set aside for a dance floor. Huge kegs of beer and wine are set up.
It seems the men are gravitating towards that area. All around there is conversation and laughter as the party begins.
Remora can be seen chasing several young men with a stick, while her father shakes his head and smiles. Sheriff Phlabbit's new bride watches him play with adoring eyes. Shavi is dancing with Bbarr, and everyone is piling their plates high with good food. Folks are sitting on blankets eating and chatting. Elvendreamgirl sits with ALex's head in her lap, as she feeds him and kisses him.

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
that valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodous birds sing madrigals.
And i will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of th purest gold
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my love.
The shepherds swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
