Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

Katchoo being shorter than Francine wasn't new; Katchoo being this much shorter than Francine was.

Also not new: Francine feeding people, where for the time being the term 'people' encompassed her tiny four-year-old roommate-slash-girlfriend, currently plunked down three feet in front of the TV and flipping through the channels because nobody wanted her anywhere near the food preparation. That remote control might get thrown sometime soon.

Why?

"STUPID GOLF! I WANNA WATCH SOMETHING ELSE!"

Because of that.

This could get messy, and that was even before the food.

[OOC: Francine modded with permission, common room is open. Beware of Chewie-flung projectiles.]

Claudia grinned. "Me too. But that costs money so my brother says I shouldn't do it, yet. But he lets me help, sometimes."

"I want a brother," Merlin replied sulkily.

"Brothers are good," said Claudia. "But they can also be really bossy. You should get a part time brother."

"Maybe Chuck can! He gave me a cookie." That was the best cookie ever. Ever.

"That's a good sign. Is he bigger and tells you what to do and sews your girl scout patches on your sash?" Wait. "Well, boy scouts for you."

"I'm not a scout." Pff. Scouts. "I'm gonna be a farmer."

Merlin the farmer. Had a nice ring to it.

"I think boy scouts do farming." She had no idea. "Also, civic responsibilities."

"...is that a dance?" It totally sounded like a dance.

Claudia stared. "No. It's not."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh." He totally knew that. "What is it then?"

"It's what everyone is supposed to do for their community."

"Yeah, but stuff you don't get arrested for not doing. Like rebuilding parks'n stuff."

"We rebuilt fences on the other side of town last year." He hadn't been allowed to help.

Experiments happened the last time.

"See? You're totally a scout already."

"I am?" Merlin puffed up with self impotence. "I am!"

"All you need is badges and a scarf thingy."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I can ask my mum to make one!" Look what you did, Claudia. Somehow those scarves are your fault.

She didn't mean to.

She sighed. "I wish I had a mum."

"...do you have a father?"
notmyownage: (*is wee and listening*)

[personal profile] notmyownage 2010-04-25 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope. I used to."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin considered this carefully. "I can share mine if you want."

[personal profile] notmyownage 2010-04-25 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Claudia considered that. "It would give Joshua a break."

"She'll like it! And you can do girl stuff with her!"
notmyownage: (*is wee and too smart for you*)

Claudia narrowed her eyes. "'Girl stuff'?"

She was raised mostly by her brother. Girl Scouts was about the only "girl stuff" she ever did.
