Fifth Floor Common Room, Late Saturday Morning

[not_in_the_book]

"There's some orange juice in the fridge," Ronan said, as he pulled two tumblers out of the cupboard. "D'you want to pour us some?"

He started assembling items for breakfast -- eggs, bread, bacon, sausage...

[Open! And there will be lots of food to share, oh yes.]

"Breakfast, YAY!"

Rachel was really a cheerful child. "Are these the servants?"

"Lucy makes the best pancakes." Jadie said, in agreement.

Marco could only process so much at a time. "No servants. School mates. Time travel too." Look, he was trying. "Uh...food?"

[weetinymiracles.livejournal.com]

"Waffles, please! And juice!"

Rachel took in the other kids in the common room. At least none of them was calling her daddy Daddy. Though Jadie was cool.

"Is time travel why you and Mommy have separate rooms?"

Jadie snorted and began to jump up and down on the couch. "Or to keep my Mommy from going all gr...argh." Yeah, she totally made bear claws there.

Marco decided that for the sake of his sanity he would focus on one thing. "Okay. Juice. Waffles that go in the toaster, okay?"

"No homemade waffles?" Rachel asked, rather affronted by this.

"From Daddy?" Jadie asked with a smirk. A very familiar smirk.

"Sorry. Toaster only unless you want to set the school on fire." Wait. Back up. "We don't want to set the school on fire."

Rachel giggled. "Okay, and don't forget to call Mommy!"

"Hello," Katrina said to the new little girls, looking interested. "Want some juice?"

[weetinymiracles.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Rachel said. "I like juice!"

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

Katrina carefully poured some for the other girl, and handed the glass over. "Is that your daddy? They're all real young today."

[weetinymiracles.livejournal.com]

Rachel nodded. "Thanks! Yeah, him and Mommy even have different rooms here."

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

"It's strange. My mom's not here right now. She's in England." Katrina smiled. "I'm Katrina Nolan. Nice to meet you."

[weetinymiracles.livejournal.com]

"I'm Rachel Conrad," Rachel replied. "We usually live in Hollywood."

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

"Daddy and I live in Ireland, mostly," Katrina said, interested. "Does your dad work in the movies? Like Tony does?" She sipped her own juice, looking interested.

Rachel shook her head, hair flying everywhere. "Nope. He's famous cause he saved the world."

[morphingtumbler.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Jadie said, half bouncing.

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

"Here you go," Katrina said, handing over the juice glass and playing hostess, since Daddy was the one cooking. "My Dad's making eggs, if you want some too."

[morphingtumbler.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" Jadie had two sets of grandparents to teach her manners. "My Daddy's toasting waffles. We have Lucy at home."

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

"Is Lucy your nanny? Or your cook?" Katrina asked. "I used to have a nanny before I was big enough to go to school."

[morphingtumbler.livejournal.com]

"Lucy's the big cook." Jadie informed her. "We have other cooks too, but Lucy really likes me. Marie is my nanny."

[nolan-kidlets.livejournal.com]

"Do you have a really big family?" Katrina asked, curious. "And is Mr. Conrad your daddy too, I guess?"

[morphingtumbler.livejournal.com]

"Nu uh! S'just me and Mommy and Daddy and often Grandma and Grandpa and sometimes the other Grandma and Grandpa but not at the same time and sometimes Mommy's sisters and often Aunt Cassie and Uncle Jake and random people from the governament." Jadie took a breath and bounced her feet off of the counter. "UH HUH! Daddy's real famous."
