Who: Tegan Crowley Young And Adriel Young, later John Connor
What: Babysitting duty!
When/Where: The night of Addie and Cassie's date, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, England.
Warnings: Fourth-generation demon-child mischief? Nothing high. She's a youngin'.

Tegan was busy amusing herself with her tricycle, riding in circles in the foyer while she waited for her new friend to arrive. Her daddy had said he and Mommy were going out for the night, and she was going to get a new friend to play with.

"Daddy, where is he?"

	"He'll be here soon, sweetheart," Adriel assured the child. She was making him dizzy, what with the circles she was making on her trike. He should have known letting her ride in the house was a mistake. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She stopped abruptly, looking up at Adriel with a little pout. "But m'bored," Arms crossed over her chest, a mirror of his younger self. "Don't go with Mommy. I wanna play," (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"John is on his way right now, Tegan. He'll play with you the whole time Mommy and I are gone." Cassie needed a night away from all her newfound responsibilities, they both needed a break, just a few hours away. He knew worry over what might happen to Tegan with the full moon coming weighed heavy on both their minds, and he just wanted to give Cassie a breather from it all.

	"Fine," She huffed with the disappointment only a toddler could manage, sliding back on her trike and pedalling it down the hall, toward her room. He could come find her, when John made his way in. It wasn't like she was hard to find, with the noise she made. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He muttered something about her being her mother's daughter, but let her go without comment directed to her. He knew better. She was a stubborn child, and sometimes it was better to leave her to do her thing, even if her thing right then was to pout.

He busied himself straightening up, waiting for John. Hopefully the kid wouldn't take too long, he was eager to get out of the house.

And just then, there was a knock at the door. John had finally managed to arrive. He was wearing the usual; jeans, white shirt, and blue jacket. He also had a backpack over his shoulder. Just in case he'd need it. He never went anywhere without his techno-goodies.

He looked over the paper in his hand, scribbled in his handwriting what he'd read in his internet messages shared with Adriel. "Oh God, I hope this is the right place..." It was clear that he had never been in this part of the world before. Not back on his.

	Adriel pulled the door open, muttering to himself. He smiled at John. "You must be John." He nodded, as if proud of himself for solving a mystery. He stepped back and motioned for John to come in. "Welcome. Tegan's pouting in her room, but she'll come running as soon as she realises you're here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Running' was a bit out of place- Tegan actually pedaled her way out, still milking the ability to ride her trike in the house for all it was worth. She skidded to a stop at John's feet, looking up at him with her head cocked to the side. "Hi." She didn't know what to say past that- he felt funny. She gave her father a dubious look.

"Yup, that'd be me," John said with a nervous smile. "And you must be Adriel." He stepped inside and was a bit impressed with he interior. Definitely had never been here before. "I was almost afraid I got the wrong house. Farthest I've been out of my home country is Mexico."

He was about to ask about Tegan, but it turned out there was no need. The girl was rather fast as she pedaled up to him. He crouched down so he could see at her level. "Hi there. I'm John Co-- err, Baum. John Baum. You must be Tegan."

	"It's hard to miss," Adriel commented with a shrug. "I don't suggest lying to the kid. She's a bit...perceptive," he added with a little smile. Tegan had infinitely more power than he did, he knew. He didn't like to think on it too much, but he'd never been able to lie to her, and he was certain a stranger wouldn't either, not about something like his own name.

"Hi, John!" She wasn't quite as shy as your average toddler, although she did lean just slightly closer to her father, while he spoke.

Tegan turned her head up to razz her tongue at Adriel, giggling after the funny noise. She didn't quite understand the big deal- her parents were wrong all the time. But maybe strangers weren't supposed to be.

Just then, Cassie came trotting down the stairs, ponytail swaying as she slid to a stop next to Adriel, pecking his cheek.

"You're John? I can't tell you how much I appreciate this,"

"Nice to meet you, Tegan." He smiled at her. He looked up at Adriel, then back at the little girl. "Umm.. okay. My real name is John Connor, but I changed the last name a few times. But it has to be a secret. You can just call me John if you want."

He stood up the, seeing Cassie. He smiled and said with a nod, "Trust me, I understand. I was young once. Err.. younger, I mean." He laughed, then seemed serious. "Anything I should know first? Rules, eating preferences, is candy allowed, contact numbers just in case? I'm sure we'll be fine, but my mom always stressed being prepared for any outcome."

"It's a good rule to live by," Adriel nodded. "I'd go light on the candy, she can get really hyper, but it's totally your call." He glanced at Cassie. "No allergies, nothing like that. Contact numbers are listed on the fridge, both our cells, and the grandfathers can be here just as fast. She's allowed to ride the trike in the house," he added, knowing that could be an issue. Really, Tegan was allowed to do pretty much anything she wanted, it was just easier, that way.

	"Okay.. got it."John nodded, mentally writing them don on a note in his mind. He smiled at Tegan, then glanced back at Adriel and Cassie. "Well, guess that covers everything. I'll take good care of her until you come back." (Reply to this) (Parent)
