Real Life Magical Girl

*grins* No we've got it. *turns and hurries back out, returning to the battle field to make sure nothing escapes*

*bursts in, slightly out of breath and clearly excited* They're back! Apollo just appeared with all the missing campers! *adds almost as an afterthought* Also it's just mop up left in the battle now.

*gives a dramatic groan and flops backwards onto the bed* Why do I even put up with you?

I dunno. A long, embarrassing crush? True love? *walks over to her and pulls her up by the wrist lightly, playfully* Heeeey, come on, you told me you’d help me clean up.

*lets herself be dragged back to a sitting position but doesn’t stand up* And now I see what a mistake that was. How do you have this much crap?

*snickers, kissing her cheek and blowing a raspberry* You’re a shit liar, babe. *shrugs* Years of borrowing things I like? And… forgetting to return them.

*bats at him* You're terrible. *waves her hands at the pile of stuff, concentrating as she makes it move into a neater pile*

Pfft. Doesn’t mean you can do magic. *shoves him*

*rolls her eyes* Aren’t you meant to be the adult one here? Promoting tidiness and all that.

*shrugs* Tidiness is overrated. This has much more character, don’t you think? *pokes her nose* Besides, /you’re/ one to talk.

*wrinkles her nose* I'll have you know my cabin is very organised. It just doesn't look like that to non-magical peasants.

Wild animal, eh? *waggles his eyebrows suggestively in return* What can I say, I’m materialistic. And I also live with nearly 30 siblings.

*rolls her eyes* Aren't you meant to be the adult one here? Promoting tidiness and all that.

*hides the weird mess of feelings she gets at the confirmation by rolling her eyes and saying drily* Oh yeah, you’re definitely mine and Connor’s kid.

*blinks, snickering* Wow, you’re taking this extremely well. *extends his arms to the side* Do I get a welcome hug, mom?

Would you rather I was freaking out? *eyes his arms, then slowly steps forward to hug him, figuring he might actually want one*

Oh. *smiles, but hugs her tight, letting go slowly, eventually* So… yeah. Sorry for the spoiler, I guess.

I think the other summer was a bigger spoiler. *gives him a half smile* So why are you here?

*hides the weird mess of feelings she gets at the confirmation by rolling her eyes and saying drily* Oh yeah, you’re definitely mine and Connor’s kid.

Uh, yeah? All the cool kids play d&d. *just gives him a look* I know Connor's your dad, so you calling me 'mom' kinda implies certain things.

*chuckles* Dungeons and dragons. *pauses* ...mom?

*raises an eyebrow* Don’t all the movies say not to do that?

Well, I mean… surely, you don’t do /everything/ the movies say. Like… *pauses in thought, rubbing his chin, then grins* Have you seen the Bee Movie?

*solomnly replies* Intelligence is knowing to follow the rules, wisdom is knowing which to follow.
