Graveyard: Saturday Night

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

After getting some food and ice cream with Sokka, Mistake and Loo and then gathering her other brood with Barney from Caritas, Mel thought it would be a swell idea to show the kids how fun it would be to patrol a graveyard.

Yes... her maternal instincts may need a bit of work.

"Remember kids! You find anything undead you let mommy slay it!" she called out. "And no Mistake, I haven't forgotten that I'm not your mom. Robin! We're only stabbing undead. Not the ugly. RON! Stop hugging that tree!"

This could be an interesting evening.

Barney facepalmed at Ron, "Kid, I think we need to have a talk about the trees." He then proceeded to pour himself another finger of scotch. What? Like they were dragging him to a graveyard without fresh liquor?

Mistake prodded at the ground with a toe. "There's people unnerground," he informed everyone.

"It's a graveyard," Robin said rolling her eyes. "Duh."

[badgermole-baby.livejournal.com]

"It's icky," Mistake replied. "Graveyards're where the spirits of our ancestors rest an' stuff. There shouldn't be dead people UNNERGROUND."

Ron slumped his shoulders sheepishly at his dad. "I know, I know, 'Mother Nature is for pussies,'" he quoted.

Sokka aimed a smack at Ron's head. "You better learn to RESPECT Nature, or else she'll start disrespectin' YOU."

[spawnofcairo.livejournal.com]

"HEY!" Ron's head bumped forward with the smack. "Don't make me cut you, fuggo!"

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"That's right," Barney said, surprised Ron already knew his next line. "Maybe you can still learn and not grow up to be a tree-hugging hippie with long hair and Birkenstocks, spouting peace and love propaganda that no one really cares about."

"Daddy, Can I stab Ron now?" Robin asked hopefully.

[spawnofcairo.livejournal.com]

Ron nodded, straightening his wee suit. He didn't want to disappoint his father on purpose. "And nobody really likes hemp."

There was a witch holding hands with her daughter. As she got to the graveyard she was giving motherly advice of her own.

"...now spells can be very useful but you should probably let me do those because Daddy gets all weird about magic. Oh! And, uh, magic can be very dangerous and we have to be careful and it's probably for grownups even though Mommy started when she was still in high school and it's a tiny bit silly for people to suggest that doesn't come in handy in a world where followers of someone with warm weather issues could possibly try to cause trouble, and this doesn't even get into the knee-jerk stereotyping that, if she were alive, would totally make me want to kick her in the shin since thanks a lot but - uh - just stick close, okay? And don't lose your stake. There's a sweetie."

"Auntie Will!" Robin Willow-Not-Lily Stinson shouted as she came running over. "HI! HI! HI!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Willow said with a wave. She liked the 'Auntie' part. She could live with Auntie. It meant less time later trying to figure out the math of timelines and ratios of snuggling vs. cranky days out of the month. "Which one are you?"

[spawnofcairo.livejournal.com]

"Don't be silly!" Robin giggled. "I'm Robin Willow-Not-Lily! Mommy is taking us on patrol!"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka pointed at the little one. "Watcher, Slayer, or other?"

"I'm a princess!" Melly said. "An' someday I'm going to be a witch just like Mommy!"

"Might be a good idea not to brag about that, sweetie," Willow said, though it lacked conviction what with the pride in her tone.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"That's very good, little Miss Princess!" Sokka told her. "You can be anything you want to be!"

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Will!" Mel said with a silly looking grin on her face. "I've had kids!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Mel!" Willow waved. "I have kid! Though only because her brother and sister stayed home."

"Brothers," Melly corrected.

"Apparently Peter and I don't lack for things to do in our free time," Willow said.

"I've got a pair with Barney and one with Sokka which is currently clinging to my leg," Mel said with a chuckle. "Say hi, Loo."

A small watertribe girl sticks her head out and waves at Willow and Melly.

"Hi Loo!"

Mel smirked. "She has her father's sense of humor."

And here comes a very small girl dragging two slightly taller men by the hands. "I told you, ice cream is this way!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Hey, Bridge might not be all that tall, but he's more than *slightly* taller than a five-year-old, thank you. A five year old who he's not letting go of, just in case she he wanders off and gets lost. "I think maybe one of the streets got mixed up," he observes.

[badgermole-baby.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, complete strangers approaching from that-a-way.

Mistake chuckled mischievously, and there were suddenly lots of potholes in their way.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Xander! Bridge! Have we met? And... Bron? Is that you?" Mel asked in disbelief. "You've gotten bigger."

[notlostyouare]

"Course I have, it's been TWO DAYS since I seed you and Daddy says I'm inna middle of a growth spurt and thats lotsa time for growing!" Bronwyn informs her cheerfully.
