Leo had noticed the proliferation of weetinys, and thus had a new sign in the window:

50% OFF, CHILD PORTRAITS!

Photo Hut is open.

Annette saw the sign and immediately brought in Sebastian. "Hey, Leo!"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Hey Man!" Leo smiled. "You got yourself a kid?"

"I do, Leo. This is Sebastian." Annette said, standing aside and presenting her son to Leo.

He came forward and looked up at the man with the wild hair. "Hi." And he held his hand out for him to shake.

"Hey Sebastian." Leo shook his hand. "You likin' Fandom Man?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"I like it, Mr. Leo." Sebastian nodded his head and grinned. "Are you going to take my picture?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Great idea Man!" Leo pointed to the mini studio the shop had totally always had. "Right over there. You like gettin' your picture taken?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

He nodded and walked back to the mini studio, his mommy following behind. "I like getting my picture taken. I always smile when I'm told to smile. Mommy says I'm cute and daddy says I'm handsome so it's good to always smile."

"Those are two very good reasons." Leo nodded approvingly. "My kid never liked sitting still for pictures."

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"You have a kid?" Sebastian looked around. "Where is he?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo paused, thinking. "You know I don't know Man." he said. "I don't think he's on the island." That made him a bit sad, but he'd had plenty of time to process it.

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"You don't know where your kid is?" That was bad. Bad as bad can get. "We're on an island?"

Annette stood back and just grinned, remaining quiet.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"We are?!" Leo exclaimed. "Woah! Far out Man! Did you come on a boat?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

Sebastian looks at him mommy who is grinning so he looks back at the man and grins wide. "I don't know! I was suddenly just here!" And he laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"That's like how I got here Man." Leo smiled, setting up the camera. "I was walking through town, and there I was, in front of the Photo Hut."

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"Really? Mommy! He was just here like I was!" Sebastian hopped up and down. "I like your messy hair and hair on your face, does it itch ever?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo giggled. "It did when I first grew it Man." he said. "Not anymore. Lotsa kids like it cause it makes me fuzzy."

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you look fuzzy, Mr. Leo." Sebastian rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"No, Sebastian honey, you have a long time to go before you can grow fuzzy stuff on your face." Annette said, winking at him.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"You could glue some on." Leo suggested. Ah what a good role model he is.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette gave Leo a look. "But we don't have any glue or any extra hair lying around, so Sebastian, that would be a no. No gluing hair on any parts of our face."

She smiled then, at both of them, cause really this was pretty amusing.

"Where do you want him, Leo? And do you think you can do one picture with me and him?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Sure Man." Leo said, and showed them to the staging area. "You want just one with the two of you or do you want some individual shots too?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"I want some with my mommy!" Sebastian said, taking Annette's hand and leading her forward.

"Some of him by himself, Leo, and just a couple of us together. Will that work?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"That's perfect." he nodded. For a perpetually stoned guy he was actually rather good at this with the positioning of the light and the finding the right button to push on the camera.

"Say Cheese!"
