5th floor Common Room - Sunday evening

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was laying on the couch, nibbling on pretzels, watching her son play the Wii. He didn't seem to play any better than she did and she realized she had made a grave error in raising him. He just sat there, almost lifeless, trying to get the people to do what he wanted.

"Mommy! It's broken! Why did you buy a broken thing?"

"It's not broken, Sebastian, you just have to learn to play."

"Can't you help me?"

Annette sighed. "If I help you, I will kill your man. If you just punch a bunch of buttons really fast? It will work. Promise."

(open!)

Aiden had somehow gottne up to the fifth floor and was now running down the hallway making motocross noises. "Vroooooooooooooooom, vrooooooooom!"

He continued to make those noises and he entered the common room and ran in waves behind the couch.

Annette raised up and looked over the couch at the little boy. Ah, he was a cute one. "Hey there!"

Aiden stopped the noises and looked at the lady on the couch. "Hi!" He smiled brightly. "I'm Aiden." He extended his little hand to her. Even though he was only five, his mommy and daddy had taught him some manners.

She grinned and shook his little hand, "Hi Aiden, I'm Annette. Whatcha playing?"

"I'm a motocross rider like my daddy!" Aiden grinned brightly. "It's nice to meet you Annette, are you a friend of my mommy?"

And this would be Tori running into the common room. "Aiden! There you are!" She smiled, grateful to be seeing him with Annette. "I thought we said no running away from mommy." Yeah, so that was a little nervewracking.

"Hi, Tori!"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey Annette." Tori grinned, glad to have found the little munchkin.

And that was when Aiden jumped into her arms with a happy shout of "Mommy!" and hugged her tightly. She laughed, no longer feeling scared. "This little one is pretty fast."

"And he is so cute and well behaved. I hear you already met Sebastian?" She indicated her son who was still in front of the TV, trying to play the wii.

"As is Sebastian." Tori smiled brightly. "I did, yes. He's a bright young boy."

Tommy had fallen asleep after crawling under the couch. A stray dust bunny stirred near his nose and made him sneeze, waking him up.

"Achoo!" He bumped his head on the bottom of the couch. "Owie."

"Oh, hey little guy," Annette leaned over and saw the little boy crawling out from under the couch. "You okay?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine." he said, rubbing his head. "What's going on?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Are you lost, sweetie?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Kindasortano?" he said. "I'm where I was before. Only I dunno for sure it's here."

Cally looked more than a little distraught when she came into the common room.

"Kid. So high," she gestured with her hand. "Pigtails. All in black. Seen her?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Ah, Cally." Annette said, worried too. "I spoke to Mac ealier today about her. You haven't found her yet?" Which was obvious since Cally was here, asking for her.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook her head. "I've looked all over," she said. "I don't even know her name."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"And she is your kid, right?" Cause that could be an issue. Maybe.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"She seemed pretty convinced of that," Cally said. "And there was a bit of a resemblance."

"Tommy?" Ana continued her search (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1073520.html?thread=88447856#t88447856) for her brother.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hey there," Annette saw the worried looking girl. "You're looking for Tommy?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I told him to wait until I got back, but he wasn't there when I got back."

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Oops." Tommy looked sheepish and guilty.

"Tommy Arashikage Kessler where have you been?!"
