Work Text:
Glen and Jerry had a bet. They invited the young men, Yeung and Chris, to settle the bet through a four-legged race. (The kids ride, the men turn into their “horses” since Peter didn’t allow them actual horseback riding.)
Since Glen and Yeung are close, Glen managed to convince Yeung to agree to the race. (He even took off his glasses and rolled up his tracksuit bottoms, while Glen proclaimed, “Onward, noble steed!”)
Chris of House Ford wouldn’t agree to such childish games, unlike Yeung. He still did, however, because the child Jerry had something over him.
Jerry’s older sister catches them, highly amused, and goes to grab some popcorn while seating on Chris’s usual spot in the sofa.
She greets, “Hey, Fay~ Want some popcorn?” to the young woman who went to the horse farm to drop off some animal supplies, only to find the man she had business with missing. (He left in a huff, after his son’s outrageous idea to play with the horses with no reliable horsemen to guide them, forgetting that she was going to visit.)
Fay is confused why the Allens (and sometimes Justin Ortiz) insist on eating heated corn in striped white and red buckets, but Sherry ultimately persuades her to grab some popcorn–“Ahh, just take some”–and they watch the others horse around.
Chris removes his formal suit jacket, thankful the Allens have an ironing board, as Sherry teases him. “Want me to hold your Rolex?”
Chris knows Sherry is as cunning as Foxy, knows he will never get his watch back without doing Sherry a favor in exchange. He laughs and simply says, “the Allens are the worst” and Glen gets impatient and tells Chris to let Jerry sit on his back.
