Last night I had a strange dream that's a combination of @aroundthewaygirlao3's Portwell stories "It Starts (Again) with Us" and "A Second Chance is All" but it's Teacher!EJ/Single Mom!Gina AU
Basically EJ is a preschool teacher for a few years now. ASCIA students (Jake, Sierra, Lucy, Connor) are aged down and his students here. His kids all adore him and he's their human jungle gym.
Amaya is his new student here, and gets along with her new classmates. EJ didn't take long to figure out Amaya is Gina's kid since they look so much alike. Cues surprise reunion when Gina fetches her daughter from school.
Gina is a single parent here. I believe Ricky/Gina are either divorced or in a complicated Co-parenting arrangement in my dream. Ricky does visit Amaya from time to time. He is a good parent tho, but he's definitely the "Fun" parent to Gina's "Responsible" (think Kurt and Carrey Martin from Suite Life of Zack and Cody)
I forgot what happens next because my alarm woke me up, but it's such a cute/sweet dream.
Also: the preschoolers were playing pretend at some point. It was Ricky's turn to pick up Amaya for some father-daughter bonding time. The classmates all saw Ricky and declared he's the 'Evil Pudding Stealing Dragon' on sight. One of em (either Jake or Sierra) decked twigs in his direction.
