5th Floor Common Room [Evening]

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.

"Wow, you're a big girl, huh?" he asked, starting to get into the swing of things.

Aly pouted. "Mommy said I wasn't big enough for a sword."

"That's because the sword's bigger than you. How can you lug something around that's bigger than you?"

"Could be a little sword," she pointed out logically.

"Hmm. Maaaybe. Leave it with me?"

Aly looked at him with complete trust. "Okay. Then I can hit that mean Allison and boy next time they hit."

"Allison?" He thought about that for a moment. There was only one person he knew on the island that was named Allison. Especially if Allison was mean. "Did Allison try to push you in the duck pond?"

"No!" Aly said. "She was a big liarhead in her toy store, and then she hit me so I hit her back. And THEN." Aly sounded outraged. "She and that mean boy hid inna tree and shot waterguns at me so I called her a fraidy-cat and made her get out of the tree and hit her again, but the mean boy got in the way so we both hit him and then I got sher so she ran back up the tree cause she's scaredy cat. So I won."

That was actually all in one breath.

"'Course you did! You're Aly. You always win."

Aly beamed. "Uh huh!" She finished her chocolate cake and tried to lick the frosting off her fingers which just resulted in a bigger mess. "I can beat up anyone."

Alanna came over with a pile of napkins, having calmed down a little. "Including the cake." She said dryly.

"It was good cake!" Aly replied, grinning at Alanna. "And it tastes better this way."

Aly brightened up and grinned at Bridge. "With Mommy and Daddy?"

"You're breaking my brain, kid," Charlie muttered. He took one of the napkins and wiped Aly's face.

"Like mine is still in one piece?"

[identity profile] tricksy-spy.livejournal.com 2007-02-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aly couldn't think of any reason why she'd be breaking either of their brains. So she submitted to the wiping of her face, beaming the whole time and held out her hands to Alanna and Charlie.

Charlie tossed the napkin aside and took Aly's hand, then posed for the photo.

Alanna took a hold of Aly's other hand and Faithful chose that moment to jump on to the red-head's shoulder. "Oddest. Photo. Ever."

Aly beamed. "Can I have one before I get grown up?" she asked. "That's a long time away."
