Pizza Planet, Saturday

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen had woken up from some bizarrely vivid dream about living in Germany and being an auto mechanic who souped up cars for illegal street racing. The whole thing had been very bizarre, and the part where she'd been involved with one of the street racers whose day job happened to be with the police had really just kind of made her twitchy; the quizzical look on her face still hadn't worn off by the time she got to work.

How was Lucas doing these days, anyway? Would be nice to have a way to find out.

Peter came in holding the hand of a weetiny Nathan. "So what do you want on your pizza?

"You can't have pizza for breakfast," Nathan said.

"You seriously can," Peter said. "Go grab a seat and I'll get us some slices."

With his dad and Zoe both turned into kids, Sam figured quick food would be a good option, so Dean wouldn't have to be alone with them and Grace for too long. He felt almost relieved when he came inside and saw Peter in his normal state.

"Hey," he said, waving at him. "I think the town's gone crazy again."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"What was your first hint?" Peter asked.

"Why is his hair weird like yours?" Nathan asked, looking between Sam and Peter.

"Sam, this is Nathan," Peter said, gesturing towards the boy who was with him.

[likethegun]

"Dad and Zoe are kids again too," Sam said, looking down at Nathan with a smirk. "I should have guessed from the suit. Aren't you a little dressed up for a Saturday morning?"

"He says we can have pizza for breakfast," Nathan replied, as though that was hardship enough for him to go through, and therefore it was utterly unreasonable to expect him to give up the suit as well.

[likethegun]

"There's nothing wrong with pizza for breakfast," Sam said. He might not have totally believed that, but he was willing to play along for now. "And pizza's kind of messy. What if you get your suit dirty?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Nathan stared at Sam in horror.

Peter facepalmed. "Suits can be cleaned," Peter said. "Or we could buy you a new one. Or you could borrow my sweatshirt."

"I'm not in gym!" Nathan replied.

"I wasn't born nearly soon enough," Peter told Sam.

Wolverine ran into Pizza Planet and looked around. No kangaroo, but the pizza smelled so good. He had to resist it. Somehow. He had a kangaroo to find and pizza took too long to make, so the trail might go cold.

The last time this had happened in Fandom, the students had ended up with their kids from alternate futures -- something Jen still refused to think too much about, because she needed another temporal possibility headache like she needed a time hole opening up in the sky.

But he was cute, in a wee fierce kind of way.

"Hey there," she said, looking up from behind the book she was still reading. "You're not lost, are you?"

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"I'm looking for a kangaroo," Wolverine said. His tummy growled. "... What kind of pizza is that?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"No kangaroos in here," Jen said, with the feeling she should probably tack a 'yet' onto the end of the statement. "It's French bread pizza today. You can pick your toppings. Want some?"

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"I shouldn't. I really need to catch that kangaroo," Wolverine said. "Can I just get a slice?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Sure, you can get it to go," said Jen, who found herself grinning as she cut a generous slice off the pizza in the case -- luckily still pretty fresh, so it wouldn't need reheating -- and boxed it up. "Why's the kangaroo so important?"

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

It was growing late in the day, and the squishy he'd had earlier didn't do much to quiet his grumbling stomach.

A smell drifted out from a nearby building and he had to check it out, by popping his head into the doorway. It smelled good!

"Oh! Can I have some?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Well, it is for sale," Jen said, shaking her head slightly. The second little kid today, and he looked kind of familiar. Ish. The freckles did, anyway. Fandom must be doing its thing again. "But I can give you the junior discount."

Yes, she'd made that up. She was taking the initiative here.

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

"I don't have any money on me," he tried pouting a little. It always seemed to work whenever kids tried it on him. "Rain check?"

What kind of kid would offer a rain check?

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Luckily for him, he was talking to the girl who knew what it had been like to try and scrape together enough money for five hungry people to share just one pizza.

(And then end up with said pizza trampled in an alley with a horseshoe print on it, but that hadn't been Trip's fault.)

"Rain check's fine," she said with barely concealed amusement -- and aww, that pout. "You look pretty hungry."

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

Hunger was not unused to G'Kar. He'd grown up as a slave, where the masters barely allowed enough to keep the enslaved populace alive.

Fun childhood, huh?

"I had a Squishy earlier," he replied. As if that somehow counted as a food source. "It didn't last long, though."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

. . . yeah, he won. Definitely.

"They never last long enough, do they?" Jen said sympathetically. "Especially when they get melty."

Momoko decided it was time to get out of her room and find out where everything was in this town. She pushed open the door to the pizza parlour and bounced into the store.

"Oh! I know you! Hi!" She waved at Jen. "Is it too late to order the special?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Jen said, and tapped herself on the temple a couple of times as if it would jar the girl's name loose. (Why did people actually do that, anyway? Did it really help?) "No, not too late. What do you want on it . . . Momoko, right?"

[heromaniac]

"Great! I haven't explored the town too much, so I don't know everyone's business hours yet. I didn't want to order something right before you closed up shop." She smiled and tapped her chin. "Can I get mushrooms, pineapple, olives, sausage, and onions? How have you been, are you enjoying the summer?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"My roommate would probably say I'm not enjoying it enough, but I like it pretty well so far," Jen said, flagging down one of the guys in back to make up the order, because it would only end in tears if she made the pizza herself. "The free world tour is a definite bonus. You settling in okay?"

[heromaniac]

"I know! Isn't the moving island so wonderful! They don't move at all where I'm from, well they're not supposed to, except in the normal being an island and at the mercy of the ocean kinda way. And yet here we can go from Antarctica to Tortuga to Australia!" Momoko clapped her hands together happily. "I just wish I had gone out to explore the mainland more, but I haven't even finished figuring out where everything is here on this island. I've mostly been just hanging out in the dorms, which is fun but kinda doesn't get me anywhere."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen wondered, vaguely, if Momoko ever ran out of breath. "Yeah, I'm not exactly the person to ask for advice on the social scene," she said apologetically. "But I know my way around the island pretty well, at least, if you want to know where to find stuff."
