The Lawns, Saturday after breakfast

Now that Sky, alias Uberman, had been filled with a nice breakfast of pancakes, there were important matters to take care of.

Like fighting off invisible villains.

"Ha! Gotcha with my 'splodey baseball!" he crowed, tossing a tiny plastic ball at what he imagined was the wicked Space Turkey. "And I getcha 'gain if you come back! Uberman never gives up, an' he always beats the bad guys!" He spread his arms and ran in circles, pretending to fly, his red towel "cape" fluttering behind him.

"Here comes Uberman, to save the day..."

[Open for both the wee and the normal-sized to play! ... And no, I have no idea where I pulled Space Turkey from. My nether regions, I expect.]

"I like your toes," he said dutifully.

"I'm all right. I watched television with Andrew. He likes it."

Liir didn't mention Kabuto. He didn't like him.

She grinned at him. "You should ask Annette to paint your toes!"

"Where's Andrew now? He should come out and play!"

"Do you think she could make them green? Or blue?"

The idea that this wasn't manly wasn't even something that could cross his mind. He liked green. And blue.

"I bet she could! Nail polish comes in allllll sorts of colours!" Ino said encouragingly. She just thought that more boys should let girls paint their nails.

It was pretty, what did boys have against pretty?

Liir has nothing against pretty!

"All right! Maybe I'll go ask her, if she doesn't mind too much. I don't want to be a bother."

"Yay! She's the bestest friend ever," Ino said, nodding firmly, "I'm sure it won't be a problem!"

"I trust you, Ino," he said with a nod.

Ino beamed at him, giving him a quick hug. "It'll be really pretty, promise!"

He hugged her back.

"I know. Then I'll have some pretty."

"You've got a bit already," Ino said, "I like your eyes. They're very pretty."

"Yours are nicer," he said firmly. "They're blue."

"Yours though are really pretty for a boy's." She grinned at him. "Of course they are. My whole family's got blue eyes."

He didn't know what to say about that.

"Thank you," he finally got out.

"I'm gonna make cookies, though," he said. "Later. What kind do you think I should make?"

She blinked at him then realized what she'd said. "You're still part of my family too," Ino assured him, "I only meant that Mom and Daddy have blue eyes too."

Ino looked delighted. "Yay cookies! Chocolate! And sprinkles!"

"I know. I just don't know what to say to compliments."

He gave her a hug, a firm one.

"I don't ever doubt that."

He laughed then.

"Chocolate? And what color icing?"

She wiggled happily. "You'd better not!"

Ino considered it. "Chocolate cookies with purple icing! And sprinkles. Those are important."

He nodded.

"Chocolate cookies with lavender icing. And sprinkles."

He could do that.

"Bestest brother ever!" Ino bounced. "You should bring the cookies to Annette's room tonight! We're having a sleepover and she said I can invite whoever I want!"

He grinned.

"Okay! I will. I'll make lots."

"Yay!" Ino did a happy little twirl. "I'll bring blankets for you 'cause you can't carry cookies and blankets if there's going to be lots of cookies!"

He agreed.

"I only have two hands."

"With which you make cookies! Which makes them awesome!" Ino told him. "I'll see you later, 'kay?"

He nodded.

He knew he wasn't very interesting without cookies or the broom.

"I'll see you later, Ino."

Ino would be scowling at him if she could read the narrative.

"Okay! And don't forget to come! It'll be fun and if don't show up then I'll be sad!"

"I'll come. I promise."

He smiled and gave her a quick hug.
