Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday early evening

[heromaniac]

Okay, Momoko remembered this from when she was a little girl! Making Valentine choco with her mom had been fun, so... she'd decided to do the same. Tomorrow was the real Valentines Day, after all!

So here she was with arms full of chocolate and moldings and lollipop sticks and, well, pretty much anything she could think they'd need. She and her two oldest daughters.

"Really, really we can help?" Sophia was elated as she bounced into the room after her mother, carrying even more candy molds that they'd handwavily picked out earlier in town.

"I thought we were grounded from the stove forever?" Elena looked excited as well, but wanted to remind her mom, just in case.

"Elenaaaaa!" Sophia's face fell and reached over to tug at her sister's pigtail. "Quit!"

"Ow! You quit it! You're not supposed to pull my hair! Momma says!"

"Momma says..." Momoko chuckled and set down her supplies before turning back to the both of them. "That you aren't going to be using the stove, I am. And if you're not good, you're totally not getting to help me make the chocolates or eat any." There were two tiny looks of dismay sent back at her at that and Momoko almost melted.

"We'll be good! Please please pleeeeeease let us help!"

"Promise! And I'm sorry for pulling Elena's hair! I didn't mean it, I just forgot!"

Momoko resisted the urge to cover her eyes with her hand: the girls totally had that same sad look Jaime got when he was upset; how did she ever get her own way in that house? "Okay, then!" she grinned at them and clapped her hands. "You two go ahead and open all the packages and spread out the pieces. I'll melt the chocolate and explain."



[open for interaction! They are making molded chocolates, along the lines of this. Simple stuffs and there's tons (it's Momoko, duh) so anyone can help make and eat!!]

Momoko looked up and waved eagerly at her friend. "Hi Led-!"

She didn't get to finish because two of her helpers were rushing towards the newcomer with happy girl screams of "AUNT LEEEEDAAAA!"

"Sorry Leda!" Momoko laughed. "Uhm. Meet Elena, seven, and Sophia, 5. They're... my daughters from an alternate future. Mei's around somewhere. Come help! We're making chocolates for Valentines day!"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda was totally not prepared for that. Therefore, any glomping totally knocked her a step back, though she managed not to fall over.

But she wasted little time in hugging back. "Beloved neices!" Hey if she couldn't be mommy this weekend, she'd totally take being Aunt Leda. "It's wonderful to see you again for the first time."

These kids were totally getting cookies. But first, making chocolates. "I'd love to help."

[heromaniac]

"Awesome! It's really easy, too! We're just melting down the modable flavours of chocolate and pouring it into these modable molds."

Elena reached for Leda's hand to try to pull her over to her station. "Like this! Like this! I'm making robot lollipops! See? I'm using these and putting then together!" Someone totally had her father's mechanical skills.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Ooh cool!" Leda exclaimed, properly impressed with Elena's project. "How about you Sophia? Which ones are you using?"

[hijas_kawaii]

"The star!" she declared authoritatively. It was the best.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Oh I love stars! They're so pretty! So, what do we do first mom?"

[heromaniac]

Momoko laughed. "I'm melting the chocolate and then I pass it to the young chefs here and they make the treats! If you want to help them, you can! Or you can help me here."

"Me! Me! Aunt Leda! Sit with meeee!" Sophia was jumping excitedly, her star mold spilling over onto her hand as she waved it.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda was formulating a plan to be able to help both children. It involved there being two of her. So, formulating a new plan.

"Whoops!" Leda quickly cast a spell that kept most of the chocolate from spilling out. She'd learned it in High School in Bordertown when some kids kept spilling her drinks on purpose.

[hijas_kawaii]

Sophia gleed as she noticed the spell taking effect. "Ah! Thank you Aunt Leda!!" She set the star back down and licked her hand, totally distracted now. "Will you do another one? Another magic?"

Elena looked up from trying to put laser eyes on her robot. "Eh? Are you doing magic Aunt Leda? Are you?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I am now." she grinned. This might distract from the chocolate crafts, but she rather liked entertaining children. And now she was sober when she did it. She remembered how much fun the kids at Castle Pup had had chasing down the Gingerbread Men. Well she remembered being told about it.

Illusion spells and glamours were the easiest and safest of course. Though she did have this packet of Gingerbread Men for a grand finale.

"Sophia, what's your favorite color?"

[hijas_kawaii]

Sophia bounced excitedly in place. She loved when Aunt Leda did magic!

"Red! Red! Red!" like her eyes, of course.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"That must be why you dyed your hair that color." Leda said, and spoke a little Elvish to turn a lock of Sophia's hair red.

Hope the hair modding is okay. The color will wear off in a few minutes.

[hijas_kawaii]

totally fine!

"EEEEeeeeeeeee!" Sophia bounced even higher when she found the hair that had changed. "Look look! Elena look! It's like Momma's, isn't it? Look!"

Sophia was already super proud of having the same eye colour as her momma, and now the red hair was almost too much.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"How about you Elena?" she asked the other girl. "What's your favorite color?"

It should be noted that if Leda met Mei, she might die of cute.

[hijas_kawaii]

Elena was totally not jealous of Sophia at all. Nope. She was only pouting because... uhm... because because. So there.

Her pout disappeared, though, when she also got asked. "Blue! Blue, please!" See? She was totally more grown up than Sophy; she'd said 'please'!

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Well it was only natural she'd be more grown up, she was two years older.

Leda willingly obliged, and soon enough Elena had a blue streak in her hair to match her sister's red.

[heromaniac]

"Yay! Thank you aunt Le... I mean, Miss Leda!" Someone was trying to use formal and grown up talk, but she didn't always remember. Elena squealed and rushed to hug Leda at the waist. "It's the perfect blue, too! Can I have on each side? Please!"

Pigtails, you see.

Momoko laughed. "You've totally won them over. The colour's not permanent, right? It's that glamour thing you were talking about before?"

Sophia didn't look up from where she was attempting braid her red streak while leaning against her aunt. "It's magic, mommma, not permament. What's glammer?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda obliged. "Oh please keep calling me Aunt Leda." she asked Elena. Formality had it's place, and that place was not with Leda.

"What she said." she agreed with Sophia. Then she attempted to explain to the tyke what she meant by glamour. "Glamour is what I call the kind of magic I used on your hair. You want any help with that braid?"

[hijas_kawaii]

"Yes please! Yes!" Sophia bounced, her braid falling apart. "I can braid Elena's hair really good, though! And Mei, but she cries."

"That's 'cause you pull too tight, Sophy; Mei's little, like you." Elena was a bit smug that she could now do her own and momma's hair.

"I'm not little!" Sophia reached for Leda's hand. "Am I?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

At 5'7'' Leda was short for an Elf. Enough that she'd often been mistaken for a halfie. "Hey there's nothing wrong with being little." Leda said. "I was little when I was your age. And if you ask lots of people back home, I still am."

She went to work on Sophia's hair. "But your sister is right that you need to be gentle with those littler than you. 'Specially when it comes to hair."

[heromaniac]

"But I'm not little little, right?" Sophy giggled and squirmed happily at the attention. After making a face at her sister, of course.

Momoko grinned as she looked over her shoulder at them. "You are totally awesome with kids, Leda!"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"No, not little little." Leda tickled her neck. She beamed at Momoko. "Thanks! Maybe it's 'cause I still have such clear memories of being one."

Part of that was the time travel, but mostly it was the times she'd turned wee while on the island.

[heromaniac]

"That would be helpful! I only remember some things, but just being with the girls has totally brought stuff back." Momoko laughed. "And reminds me that I totally owe my mom a whole lot."

"Obaachan?! Can we call her? Can we?"

Momoko paled. "Uhm. We'll talk about that later, okay?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda didn't remember much about her mother. She had died when Leda was very young. Well there was that one weekend. Instead she remembered being raised by Wolfboy, Micky and Goldie, and her foster mother. Who, while an okay sort, had beliefs that were in many ways, diametrically opposed to Leda's.

She could see how contacting the girls' grandmother could be awkward. Funny, but awkward.

"Oh hey girls, is this your first trip to Fandom?" Perhaps this would distract them. She knew if she had kids she was totally bringing them here as often as she could. And once they got high school age...

Is now pondering a fandom fic where Billy's future kids meet Leda's.

[hijas_kawaii]

Momoko was more freaking out at the idea because her parents still thought she was at a normal American boarding school. Explaining future kids would require a LOT of interesting confessions.

Sophy bounced; there was a reason she usually had her hair loose. "Yep! It was a accident! There was a glowing hole..."

"A 'portal'," Elena chimed in, showing off.

"I was gonna say!" Sophia frowned at her. "There was a portal in the yard and Mei was hiding so I tried to look for her and we got here!"

"I told her not to go through it. I really did, aunt Leda!"
