The Park, Late Sunday Morning

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon had made two promises for today that sort of didn't go together, but he was gonna make it work or make Sheppard learn to deal.

"Hmm, this will do," Mary Sue informed her father, smoothing the bow in her hair. "At least it's not dark and sandy like that terrible basement place."

Great, he had the semi-approval of his fake kid, Ronon could die happy.

As far as tea parties went, it was almost nice. Ronon had messaged his detention victim to bring the tea and he'd set up some kid-sized tables and chairs next to the playground in the park. It was his attempt to guarantee Mary Sue stopped earning cash off her mom and throwing fits about doing his hair.

If it rained and he was stuck indoors with this kid all day, Ronon was going to have his own fit.

[Open Tea Party and Playground are open!]

"You wanted tea?" John said, breezing into the park with what felt like a small army of children in tow.

"It's for the kid," Ronon explained. "Now, for your detention, you get to play tea party." Cruel man.

Like Jaryd was going to satisfy himself at a tea party when there was a slide to go on!

"I'm the commander of the slide!" He cried out, jumping up and down at the top.

"No fair!" Gwen complained. "I wanted to play on the slide!"

[wtfnotourkid.livejournal.com]

"No sliding!" Mary Sue decreed. "This is a tea party!"

"Tea parties are for girls! Why'd I hafta come along?" Hubert complained, even if he was a little interested in the whole playground aspect of this deal.

[just-like-mommy.livejournal.com]

"Not all girls," Matilda corrected him. She was bored by this whole thing. Where were the evil things to kill?

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

Jonathyn found a spot under the slide and sat, making holes in the dirt and watching the rest of the action.

Kristof saw the kid sitting under the slide and went over to him. "... You okay?"

[solo_sword]

Spotting Jonathyn under the slide, Jaina came over, crouching beside him. "Hi, sweetheart. Doing okay under here?"

She knew she'd hear it if the twins were unhappy. Jonathyn she felt the need to check up on.

Gracie wasn't at all interested in the tea party. She was far more interested in the swings.

"Wheeee!"

Trevor had bolted out the door the minute he was able to, or at least as soon as Liz had her back turned. Liz caught up to him just as he arrived at the park, for once he wasn't thinking so much about food and wanted to play in the playground.

Chris, with three girls in tow, arrived in the park.

"Oh, Papa, a tea party!" Phyre was thrilled.

Matilda shook her head. "How pedestrian."

Chris idly wondered if this child liked anything.

"Uncle Chris, can I go kick my soccer ball?" That was Amber. Whose parentage Chris really, really wasn't thinking about.

"Yeah, sure, Amber."

Summer was lucky that Chris loved her. And Chris was grateful that Savannah had picked Dalton up earlier.

Gwynn had decided that since Eve had her hands full with Kristof and Gwen, she would take Mairin with her and Javelin for the day.

She had forgotten how much energy one of her daughters had, much less two of them.

So, she was on the way to the Perk for caffeine when she saw the tea party and the other kids. This sight immediately captured the attention of her two girls. How much trouble could a wee tiny archer and a wee tiny witch get into in the park?

Gwynn didn't want to think about it, which is why she had confiscated Javelin's bow and arrow.

Javelin would have argued loudly about it, except that she saw someone she knew.

"UNCLE CHRIS!!"

Phyre was SUPER excited about the tea party. She loved tea parties.

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

From his spot under the slide, Jonathyn peered at the super excited girl with interest.

[anakinllkillhim.livejournal.com]

Jordin looked at the scene disdainfully. Tea parties were for girls. Not just girls, but girly girls. Jordin would have none of it.

She looked around- "I CALL SWINGS!" she yelled, dashing towards them.

"HA! I got the slide!" Hubert said with a very SO THERE face. He won.

[solo_sword]

When Jaina got to the park- wow there were a lot of kids. Hopefully they belonged to other people. Forgive her if she was just trying to keep track of her own.

[kicksurkidsass.livejournal.com]

This J-name wasn't so bad-looking. Hubert decided to try out his charm. "Can I have a band-aid?"

[skycrawlers.livejournal.com]

"AUNT JAINA AUNT JAINA AUNT JAINA AUNT JAINA!" hollered a voice in a distinct Coruscanti accent.

And oh, look, there was a little blond boy in black clothes and no shoes, barrelling toward her with every intention of tackling her knees and maybe trying to climb up her if he succeeded.

In the vain hope of exhausting her kids, Dinah was taking all four of them to the park.

"Rules: no fighting, not biting, no pushing, no insulting, no using TK to settle anything--" A stern look at Lena and Jess there. "And if someone peicks on you, you come find me. Got it?"

All four heads nodded innocecntly. Dinah so wasn't fooled.

"Then go!"

"You seem to be getting this parenting thing down," Tony grinned. "What she said," he told Colin, who ran off to play on the jungle gym.

[newlances.livejournal.com]

Gawain headed straight for the jungle gym, scrambling up it like a monkey. "I AM KING OF EVERYTHING!" He yelled when he got to the top.

Malcolm was more slowly following, then hanging by his knees while watching his older half-brother.

[canadianwizkid.livejournal.com]

Colin ran for the jungle gym, too, and scrambled up the side. "I'm the wizard of everything!" he decided.

LJ was still kinda moody, but c'mon, the park. How could you be moody at the park?

He waved off his mom's intructions and looked around for anybody he even remotely knew.

[orbingarcher.livejournal.com]

He didn't know her, but this was Mairin and she was about to change that.

"Hello."

She was five and adorable. He was so toast.

Miss Bennet and her daughter, Anne, were fashionably late due to RL hitting like a mack truck but quite delighted to see the tea party fully arranged when they arrived.

"May we stay, Mama?" Anne asked.

"Of course, dearest," Lizzy smiled. "I can think of no better way to spend the afternoon."
