Fifth Floor Common Room [Saturday morning]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie was a little surprised this morning -- obviously, since the future-children had been to visit already, it wasn't going to happen again. But when she had woken up still seventeen (still prom queen!) and found Bobby decidedly...smaller, and younger by about ten years, she could've been knocked over by a feather.

That being said, it hadn't taken long for her to realize the only course of action. And so Sookie, in her pajamas (and Bobby, somehow in little-boy pajamas that featured penguins driving racecars) padded out to the common room to start making pancakes. Somewhere along the way, she'd added a few healthier foods to her plan, too, and had turned on some cartoons, but pancakes were definitely the endgame here.

It had worked for the other little kids, after all.

Dana looked exquisitely guilty, and squirmed, putting another bite of pancake in her mouth while she thought. "But if I'm not tired, why should I sleep?" she asked, hoping to logic her way out of this. "When's your bedtime?"

"I am usually in bed by ten o'clock, unless I do not have class the next morning," Raven said. "Or if I am on a date with my boyfriend."

Bedtime was very different then. Ahem.

"You have a boyfriend? What's his name? Do you go to the movies?" Dana's concept of boyfriendliness was fairly limited. Also, the whole pesky bedtime issue would hopefully be forgotten. "Mommy and Daddy go out to the movies together. And to the Officer's Club to dance."

"I do, and his name is Jonothon," Raven said, hoping Dana didn't talk to wee!Jono and get confused. "We have watched movies together, and also gone to concerts. We both like music a great deal. Do you like music?"

"I do! JOY! To the world! All! The boys and girls now!"

Dana could not carry a tune at any point in her life. But there was enthusiasm there, yup.

"JOY TO THE FISHIES IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA! JOY! To you an' me! You know that one?" Dana checked, looking hopeful.

"I am afraid I do not, but it sounds like a very happy song," Raven said. Joy was always good to sing about!

It was! "I could start over from Jeremiah who was a bullfrog," Dana offered, biting into her bacon. "And there's a song about the yellow submarine. WE ALL LIVE INNA YELLOW SUBMARINE. YELLOW SUBMARINE. YELLOW SUBMARINE! That's a kinda boat."

[trigons_child]

"I am afraid I do not know that song," Raven said. "Why is the submarine yellow? So it will be easy to find in the water?"

Dana paused. Hmm. "Yes," she said. "And so Puff the Magic Dragon doesn't bump into it in the water." She nodded decisively. She peered at Raven. "What songs do you know? Not baby songs. Real songs."

[trigons_child]

"I know many real songs," Raven said after a moment's thought. "I sometimes sing with the Glee Club at school."

"What's a glee?" Dana asked, curious, biting into one of the orange slices. "You should eat something. 'S good. Sookie cooks good."

[trigons_child]

"Oh, I will," Raven said, pointing to her own plate of pancakes. "Sookie already offered me some. But to answer your question, a Glee Club is a club that sings songs."

"Oh! Okay, that's a good thing," Dana decided, tearing back into her own food. She swallowed and said, "C'n I go with you next time? Please?"

[trigons_child]

"Of course," Raven promised. "If you are still here on Thursday, you may come with me."

"Yay!!" Dana cheered, and beamed at Raven. "You're a nice babysitter. I'm glad you're here and not dumb stinky Bill."
