Orange Otter Pops - Sparta Verse Question

[lovesrain44]

I had a question about Orange Otter Pops - Little Orphan Orange flavor, to be exact. In the past, in my Sparta verse, Sam has been wanting orange otter pops.

He's asked for them, hinted at them, written them in ghostly letters as a suggestion to Dad to get them when he's at the store. Readers have kindly asked that Sam be given otter pops. I have refused them because I want Sam to suffer, and not getting otter pops makes him suffer. That is, suffer more than he already is.

Here's a question: What event would transpire that would have Dad buying otter pops for Sam? Would it be as a reward? Or as compensation? Or just because John's damn tired of listening to Sam go on?

I have an idea about this, but I wanted to know what readers who like Sparta verse would think, and I want to make sure that I'm not softening the summer from hell any - but, I'd like to give Sam otter pops too.

Here's a picture of Otter Pops, in their natural form....

Or, from the compensation angle, maybe Sam gets hurt doing something John specifically asked him to do in the way he asked him to do it because John missed something or the weather was too hot/cold and maybe it was something Sam had tried to point out to him but John ignored him and it's John's way of saying "sorry, I should have listened this time..."

I love this idea, because I like the idea of John feeling guilty. I mean, he does sometimes, doesn't he. When he's been to mean to Sam, even though Sam can't see it, we can. Oh yeah, guilty John is fun to mess with. : D

I like this angle better, too. Can't wait (and yet, am simultaneously dreading) to see what you end up creating. :)

I'm sure Sam's dreading what I'm going to come up with too!
