Third Floor Common Room: Sunday Morning

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

It had been a long night and for some reason the kids were early risers. So it was a pretty groggy Mel who dragged her kids down the hallway and started setting them up with bowls of cereal and turned on TV in the hopes that it would keep them occupied until the coffee began to work.

"Ron. Seriously. It's a potted plant. Stop hugging it."

"What this?" Loo asked looking into the bowl of cereal.

"Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs," Mel said pouring some milk. "You'll love it."

"We want pot pie!" Robin demanded.

"And I'm not hugging anything!" Ron protested.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Eat your cereal," Mel said in an authoritative tone.

"Mommy? Why did you name me Loo?" Loo asked through a mouthful of cereal.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"She was a friend of mine back home," Mel said giving in to the urge to ruffle Loo's hair. "Her name was Louise but I don't think anyone really knew that. We all just called her Loo."

"Why didn't you just name her Louise?" Ron asked.

"Because Louise is a name for a dork," Robing said shoving Ron.

Jordin ran ahead into the common room, smirking back at her dad, "See! I told you I knew the way."

"Yep, you sure told me," John sighed, not pointing out that they were not on the floor they'd started at. "How 'bout I make you some breakfast and you can watch TV?"

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

"But I wanna help cook," Jordin pouted, looking up at her dad with big, brown eyes.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that is so not a fair use of the pout. We're going to have to talk about when we use our eyes to get our way," John decided, leading the way into the kitchen area. "But, yes, fine you can help."

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

"Me, too!" Jaryd exclaimed, bouncing behind them.

"No, you can't cook if you're bouncing, it's a rule!" Jordin told her little brother. "Right, dad?"

[penguin-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Loo shouted with her mouth full. "I'm Loo!"

[penguin-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Is not!" Loo shouted. "And if I had my boomerang I'd show you what four five six seven eight!"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"No weapons at the breakfast table... or couch," Mel warned. "And Loo is a fine name. Don't let anyone tell you different."

John really didn't know what he'd gotten himself into when he'd offered to get food for the kids.

"Okay, okay. No bouncing in the kitchen," he started setting out bowls for cereal. "Jordin, you get spoons from that drawer, and Jaryd, you can get the napkins."

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

Jaryd was super excited to be in the common room and screamed back, "I'm Jaryd! Wanna play?"

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

Jordin was following directions when she reached into the Force to call the spoons to her. "Here, daddy! Can I have the chocolate cereal?"

Jaryd wasn't about to be one-upped, so he reached out his hand and concentrated, causing a stack of napkins to fly through the air and mostly go all over the place. Hey, one got to him, so that was a victory right there.

Maggie was an early riser, too, and hungry, so she snuck out of her Mom and Dad's room and padded into the common room one of Dawn's t-shirts looking for something to eat. What she found was even better. People! That meant she wouldn't have to cook, which meant she wouldn't have to break the no turning on the stove rule. "Hi!" She stopped right next to Mel, and the coffee pot.

"Okay!" Loo bounced. "What do you want to play?!"

Kristof had gotten up early and seeing that his daddy was still sleeping, decided to go exploring. Managing to head one floor down, he poked his head into the common room, hearing noises.

Loo pouted a bit as she munched on her cereal. "So mommy... why are you here?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jedi children. John shook his head and looked down at the napkins papering the floor. "Okay, while we clean this up, you can tell me who taught you about chocolate cereal."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Mel said with a grin. "Want some breakfast?"

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

Jaryd was overwhelmed with that question, "We could play TV tuner, or sofa fort, or Ninja Pilot, or Warrior Jedi, or or or..."
