5th Floor Common Room [Evening]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

After stowing Jeremiah's tank and Xander's knapsack in 227, Bridge and Xander head off in search of spaghetti. Why didn't they just use the Synthetron? Well, spaghetti's like toast. It's more fun to make it yourself.

As luck would have it, the only Common Room kitchen currently stocked with any spaghetti noodles is the one on the fifth floor. So here they are. Making dinner.

After fighting in the park, Aly was kinda scruffed up and very pouty. Not that she lost, of course. Cause she didn't.

She wandered into the 5th Floor CR looking for an adult she could get sympathy from get food from.

"Hey there," Bridge says, noticing the new arrival. "Who're you?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly turned big eyes on him and pushed her hair out of her face. "Hi Bridge," she said sorta sadly. "'M Aly!"

Apparently even trying to get sympathy couldn't keep the exclamation point from that announcement.

"Ooooh," Bridge says, nodding knowingly. "I almost didn't recognize you without a smile on your face, there. Is there anything I can do to put the smile back?" he asks.

She sniffled. "There was a mean girl and boy. And Mommy won't let me have a sword to poke them."

"Mean people suck," Bridge says. "I don't have a sword, but I am making dinner. Have you eaten at *all* today?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Mommy made me a cheese sandwich!" Aly said. She lowered her voice and looked at Bridge conspiratorially. "I think it was okay. But I'm not supposed to eat what Mommy cooks. An' I had candy. But it's a secret."

Pippi looked down at the other little kid.

"Hello there."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly waved. "You have pretty hair like my Mommy."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Why thank you!" she said giving the Red Headed Solidarity Sign. "Who's your Mama?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Alanna," Aly said with a nod. "I gotta think she's the prettiest. But you're the second prettiest with hair like that!"

The idea of such a bubbly and enthusiastic kid being the daughter of down to earth sarcastic Alanna made Pippi smile.

"Oh well thank you!" She said. "I was about to make some dinner. Would you like some?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly beamed at her. "Yes please! Can you make candy? Or or or cake?"

Xander peered at her. She looked familiar.... "Hi..."

Maybe not so much with the explosive volume this time.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly waved to the boy. "Hi," she said. "I know you I think!"

[needsaparrot]

"I'm Xander!" He bounced a little. "I have a froggie!"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Xander!" Aly said, bouncing. "'M Aly! Can I see your froggie?"

[needsaparrot]

"Hi Aly! I 'member you!" Xander frowned. "My froggie's in Bridge's room. But you can see him later!"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Promise?" Aly asked, looking skeptical.

Evie gave her a wide-eyed look of 'oh dear don't cry or come over here', and blinked at her.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly waved to the pretty lady.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie waved back, hesitantly. "Um. Hullo. I'm Evie." She tried to smile even though this was utterly bizarre. "Are you having fun today?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"'M Aly! I had fun with John and Daddy and Sam and Molly. But then there was a mean boy and girl. I don' like them." She looked sad. "You're pretty, Evie. You have pretty hair. Can I play with it?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Evie sympathized, then said, "Well of course you may! Thank you, please, go right ahead!"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly pointed for Evie to sit on the floor so she could climb into a chair and have better access to her hair. "Thank you! D'you know my mommy, Evie?"
