Who: All the town kids who want in
What: Hot Tub Party
Where: Tony's house
When: Today

This place was great, his dad wasn't around and he didn't have classes or tutors or anything to bother him. And he had a house full of bots and his pokemon, it was quite possibly the coolest place he'd ever been and people were coming over, it was gonna be a party!

Sure he didn't do much in the way of planning but he had his fridge full of cheese and there were drinks everywhere and Dum-E would totally make juice if people wanted it, it seemed to be about all he could do but Tony loved him and he was glad to have him there.

And well .... it was gonna be cool, he'd never had a party before, not with kids his own age so he was ready and he was antsy kind of pacing a little bit while he waited for people to show up. And just when he thought he had it all ready Tony realized there was one thing left he needed and quickly found a piece of paper and some tape scribbling a hasty note and taping it outside on his door.

Come on in! It's party time.
No adults allowed!!!

Okay so maybe Tony wasn't the best at party planning, but the thing was he hadn't had a lot of time to plan it and he didn't really have a lot of resources available to him to make it happen, but he thought that the music was good and there was a hot tub on the roof so what more did they need really?

Whatever the point was he was having fun so far, he'd been saying an overly enthusiastic hello to everyone he saw and making sure they knew that this was his house and that the bots were his and all of this was so cool, right? Yeah it was cool, Tony didn't need the other kids to tell him so... he just kind of wanted them to was all.

So when he saw one of them kind of on his own, glaring at someone else he decided he'd better step up. "If you want I can have Dum-E spill a drink on him." Tony offered because that was what you did right? If you were making friends you did things for them first. "He does it plenty already it'd be easy to make it happen on someone in particular. I'm Tony."

Loki was maybe a little surprised when he realized that someone was talking to him. He'd been so busy glaring at the back of Thor's stupid head that he'd sort of forgot there were other people around. Even though they were at a party. And people came to parties. That's just how they worked. Obviously Loki knew that. As a prince of Asgard, he'd attended a great many parties. None of them were like this, though.

Still. The boy talking to him was clearly the boy who made the invitation and owned the house so it was best to not tell him that it wasn't the best party he'd ever been to.

Although it had potential. "Could you do that?" He asked, wonder and a little bit of mischief in his eyes as he turned to look at Tony properly. It'd be so much funnier if a trick got played on Thor and he couldn't immediately blame Loki for it. "I'm Loki."

"Yeah!" Tony agreed eagerly, "I made him, he'll do it if I ask." Tony assured him, though he wasn't entirely sure that Dum-E would, he might though, he'd certainly try. And when that happened Tony felt pretty good that it would end with a drink spilled on the right person. And the boy he'd made the suggestion to dropped his glare for a moment which felt like a special kind of victory as well.

"Cool," He'd never met anyone with a name like Loki, but he decided he liked it, and Loki too for that matter. It was a little overwhelming if he was being honest, being at a party with this many kids so close to his age, most of the parties he went to were just his dad's boring friends or people he worked with and he just got trotted out for a few minutes to smile and shake hands before he was put to bed.

"Did he do something mean?" He asked, wondering what the other boy had done to earn Loki's ire.

Tony was a little eager, Loki noticed. It wasn't bad, exactly, but it could be used against him. At least, that's what Loki thought. Because -- well. Loki'd been getting some practice in lately at getting people to do what he'd like and this wouldn't even be any effort at all if Tony just kept offering.

That didn't mean it wasn't nice though. Loki liked it.

"You built him?" He asked, looking over at the robot in question, who was moving around a bit awkwardly with a tray. It did look like it'd be willing to spill things on people. Either on purpose or on accident. That thought made Loki smile.

"The meanest," he said, going back to glaring at Thor across the room. "He ate all the snacks." That wasn't even why Loki was mad, to be honest. He was mad because he'd been saying an awful lot of nice stuff about his brother and then Thor'd gone and ruined it all just by talking.

"Well.... I will have." Tony said after a moment as he considered Dum-E. He hadn't built him yet, but he would eventually. It was all backwards, but Tony thought maybe there was some sort of issue with the time stream happening here, the streams had been crossed or something. Egon had warned not to do that, but he guessed maybe that's what happened, they were here now like this, all out of order.

"He's good though, he helps the best he can." Which sometimes wasn't always the best, but he tried and that was the important part.

As for the boy Loki was glaring at - well Tony didn't know if eating all the snacks was the meanest thing anyone could do, but if Loki thought it was then Tony would let him. "That has to be a lot of snacks if he at them all, he didn't get sick did he?" It would serve him right if he did though.

Even though it shouldn't have, the explanation that someday Tony would build Dum-E seemed to make sense to him, and so he nodded with more thoughtful appraisal than any little boy ought to have in him. But Loki was wise and older than all the children here beside Thor, even if he didn't always act like it.

"He should definitely spill stuff on him, then," Loki decided, because retribution was in order and even if Loki was mad he was pretty sure a minor spill was probably a better punishment than a little stabbing.

That was still on the table, though. It might still happen.

"He never gets sick," Loki said with a little bit of a scowl. "He just gets stupider." Which wasn't really fair, but it didn't have to be. Anyway. He turned back to Tony and shrugged. "We should be friends," he decided.

Tony grinned when Loki agreed that Dum-E should spill something on the other boy and he nodded excitedly. "Okay! I'll make sure he does it." He promised, because that would be funny, right? Tony thought so and Loki liked the idea and Tony liked Loki so it all made sense in a good way.

As for the other boy Tony was impressed he could eat everything and not get sick, he wasn't totally sure he believed the idea that he just got stupider instead of sick though. But maybe he did? "He must have eaten a lot of snacks already if he's still doing it then." Tony reasoned.

And then the greatest thing ever happened.

"Yeah?!" Tony asked and then immediately calmed himself, "I mean, yeah, yeah we should totally be friends. That'd be great." Not much calmer but not quite ready to jump on Loki for it either. He was just excited okay, he couldn't help it.

"He's eaten a great deal of snacks," Loki assured, because yes his brother was absolutely an idiot. It was decided. And he was sort of pleased that this little boy, Stark, believed him. Loki wasn't even lying this time. Not really. Okay. A little bit. Thor wasn't all that dumb, realistically. But he was acting like it right now.

It was kind of funny and cute when Tony got excited by the idea of being friend and it sort of made Loki feel good, like he was very important (which, of course, he was) or like he was the best choice for when it came to being someone's friend. That didn't happen all that often so he sort of felt like he needed to be excited too. "Yeah! Of course. Will you show me more 'bots?"

Tony shook his head sadly while Loki told him how many snacks the other boy had eaten. It sounded tragic really. "That's too bad." He had a feeling there was more to the story but if Loki didn't want to tell him that was okay. Tony was just glad he could help him out.

Loki was important as far as Tony was concerned, he was fun and he was gonna let Tony show off what Dum-E could do and they were talking and he was here at his party. All the things necessary to make someone important in the life of Tony. And then Loki asked if he could see more bots and Tony practically jumped. "Yeah! I've got two more, one is Tony Jr, he's only this big." He held up his hands to demonstrate the size of the little robot, about seven or eight inches. "And the other one... he doesn't have a name I don't think, but he's cool too. He folds up tiny but he gets bigger!" Yes he was excited to show off a little bit, he might not have built the other two bots, but he loved them too and he wanted everyone else to meet them too.

It was very tragic and indeed also too bad, and so Loki nodded in agreement; solemn. Even if he was mostly just joking. Sort of.

Loki nodded along in interest and followed after Tony as he described the other robots -- he thought it was funny about the one called Tony Jr, and he liked that it was small for whatever reason. It was just cuter that way. Most things were. The one without a name he felt a bit bad for, even if he didn't know why. Not everything needed a name. But the little bots seemed to have a personality, and Loki liked that.

"You can name that one after me," he decided, like he was doing both Tony and the robot in question a favor. Which clearly he was, because names had power to them and no name was better than Loki.
