WHO: Lydia Martin & Stiles Stilinksi
WHERE: Starting in the flat, and then ?
WHEN: Monday
WARNINGS: Probably 0

At the rate the entity was going with all of these events, it was going to take Lydia four years to finish her two years of college. Not that she was in any particular rush while she was here, but she did like her classes. There was no way she was getting on a subway train to school when there were three kids in the apartment. Well, two kids and a teenager. And work was right out as well. She was letting them roam the building freely without hovering too much, but if they needed something she wanted to be close by. She had no idea if that was right, but she had no idea if any of what she was doing was right. And she couldn't exactly call her mom.

Standing in the kitchen with a notepad in hand, she was taking stock of the dismal state of their pantry. They were eating so much, and she hadn't wanted to run out to the store to replenish in case she was needed. The idea of bringing Scott and Stiles with her was way too nerve-wracking. She'd definitely lose one of them, if not both. She had so much more respect for Melissa, Claudia, and Noah right now.

Stiles looked up at Lydia and gasped in shock. He could tell she was just messing around and he was just playing along.

Once inside the shop, he went straight to the ice cream. Of course, he was too short and having to tiptoe was a pain. And he would have become frustrated if it weren't for Lydia's quick thinking. Now that he could read and see the ice scream, he mentally tried to decide which one he wanted to eat. "I want that one," he said as he pointed to a brightly pink-colored ice cream. Bubble gum flavored ice cream sounded pretty good right now.

	"Good choice." Gross. She set him back down on the ground. "I'll order the ice cream if you go find us a place to sit and save it. Deal?" The place wasn't particularly crowded, but it was a task that would hopefully keep him in one place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know!" He was pretty happy with his choice and now she was going to let him pick where they sit? Awesome! "Deal!" He was already walking away and looking for a vacant table for them to sit out. He found one near a window and sat down as he waited for Lydia to get the ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The ice cream was served up quickly, and she found Stiles after not too long with two cups and way more napkins than two people would ever need, except that one of those people was seven so they just might. "Here you go..." Sliding the cup of two scoops of bubblegum ice cream in front of him, she then handed him a spoon before taking the seat across from him with her own scoop of coffee sorbet. "So, the park and then ice cream. What else do you like to do with your mom?"

	Stiles was looking out of the window, his legs swinging back and forth since his feet didn't reach the ground. He looked up when Lydia finally joined him with the ice cream. "Thanks!" He took the spoon and wasted no time in digging in. "Umm...everything." That seemed like a pretty good answer to him. "Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yea, there was no way this ice cream wasn't going to end in another burst of energy. Though that seemed to be all he was made of so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. And it had been her fault for getting him two. "No real reason, I'm just curious if you'd want to do any of those things here. I was going to ask Scott, too, when we got home."

He was either going to go crazy on sugar or crash from all of the sugar. It could go either way. "I like watching movies with her." He ate more of his ice cream. "Ooh! Maybe he'll want to do something. I'm sure he misses his mom, too." He was already halfway done with his treat before he leaned forward a little to get a better look at Lydia's ice cream. "What kind is that?" he asked as he pointed to it with his own spoon.

"He's not going to want to watch Star Wars with you." But maybe he would without all of the years of trying to prove his point. "But maybe we can find something else." She'd only managed to take two bites of her ice cream compared to his feeding frenzy. "It's coffee flavored." She was hoping the tiny amount of caffeine would help, but she was also really considering Postmating some Starbucks to the apartment or wherever they went next.

	"I know he won't. We can watch something else," he said before shoveling more ice cream into his mouth. "Ew." He scrunched up his face in disgust. "It must be gross. You're barely eating it," he pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There are a lot of Disney movies here you haven't even heard of since we're in the future," she pointed out. "But we have the classics too." She took a bigger bite to prove to him that it was good, though that meant she had to wait to answer him. "It's an adult flavor, you definitely wouldn't like it. I think it's good, I'm just trying to savor it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Let's watch those!" He was all for watching movies he had never even heard of. He hoped Scott would want to watch them with him. "Oh. Okay." He finished off his own ice cream, pushing the now empty cup away from him. "Can I taste yours?" Even though it sounded gross, he was still curious about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She probably had one bite left, but she carefully split it and put half on his spoon before eating the other half herself. "After this, take your cup and spoon to the trash for me, alright? Then maybe we can go watch a movie with Scott—and Cora if she wants to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Okay." He grabbed his spoon and then took the small bite after Lydia placed it on the spoon. He scrunched up his face and almost wanted to spit it out. It tasted so gross. He quickly swallowed it and said, "Yuck! That was gross." He grabbed a napkin and tried to wipe the taste out of his mouth. "Groossss." He finally stopped and then grabbed his trash and stood up. He tossed it into the trash can and then stood beside Lydia. "Cora won't watch anything with us. She always says no whenever I ask her to do anything."

	"Thanks for coming right back." Picking up her own trash, she tossed it in the garbage on the way out, then held out her hand for him to take once it was empty. "Well, how have you tried asking her?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 01:45 am UTC (link)
	He took her hand once again and let her led them out of the ice cream place. "I said, 'do you wanna play with me?' and she said 'no, go away shorty.'" He really didn't how there was any other way to ask. He hadn't been evil about it, but she still didn't want to do anything with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, that's not a very nice way to say no, is it? But not a lot of 13-year-olds want to play with kids your age. Would you want to play with a toddler if you had the choice not to?" It wasn't quite the same thing, thanks to adolescent hormones, but she wasn't about to explain that kind of thing to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Nope," he said with a shake of his head. He was about to ask why not, but then she asked him that question. "No, but I'm not a toddler. I'm more fun. You're having fun with me now, aren't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's kind of the same thing. She's almost twice as old as you are, she has her own things she wants to do that are different than things you want to do. Just like you don't play the same games you did when you were two." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"Soooooooooooo, don't ask her to play with me anymore?" That's what he was getting out of this conversation. "Can I ask you then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"You can ask her, you just have to respect when she says no, and try not to take it personally." It seemed he might have done the first part right, but the second part was so much harder. Even for adults sometimes. "Of course you can ask me. But I might say no sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"I'll try." It was all he really could do. And he didn't bug her when she did say no. He just left her and went off to find the next person to ask. "Okay. But at least you won't call me names when you say no." he sighed. He really didn't like this conversation anymore. "Are we going home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Nope, the only name I might call you is mischief," she teased, trying to bring his spirits back up. "Yup, see it up ahead on the left? If you ever end up outside without me and you get lost, this is the building you need to try and find." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He looked up and smiled. "My mom calls me that!" He left out the bit that he called himself that for a bit too since he couldn't pronounce his actual name at first. He looked in the direction that Lydia had mentioned. "Yeah, I see it," he told her when he did finally see their apartment building. "I will." Hopefully, that never happened. Especially since he didn't want to scare her again.

	She wasn't going to let on that she already knew that (was it cheating? Nah), so she just grinned at him instead. "Really? Well we both must think it fits." The ostriches were just as creepy as ever, but now she had to not let on that she thought so while they waited for the elevator. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 03:07 am UTC (link)
	"You can call me that if you want." Even though it was his mom's thing, he liked Lydia, so he would be okay if she called him that as well. As for the ostirches, he didn't find them creepy. He was watching them as they waited for the door to the elevator to open. "Wouldn't it be cool if they could talk?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
