33 Apocalypse Avenue [mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

A very small boy with a bucket over his head--thanks for that, Friday's toy chest--toddled down the hallway and made his way down the stairs.

Bounce-bounce-bounce.

Rear ends are great for that.

He made his way into the kitchen and leaned up onto his tiptoes to reach the cereal--something bright with incomprehensible writing on the side--and tipped about half of it onto the floor.

Exasperated, he lifted the bucket off of his eyes to see. Bright blue eyes gazed around the room and settled on the telephone.

Ooooh. He could call all of his friends!

Or punch random numbers and leave messages...which is what a four-year-old is much more inclined to do...

[OOC: Open for housemates and friends who know who this is. Radio squirrels--buckethead kid doesn't have a name...]

His lower lip began trembling. "You're all high and far away," he whimpered.

Rory was right back on her knees. "Sorry, sweetie. Want me to pick you up next time I do that?"

[sith_happened]

The urge to want to be a big boy warred with the need to be cuddled.

He nodded, scuffing his feet on the floor.

"Okay," she agreed seriously. "Now, what've you done today?"

[sith_happened]

"Tried to make breffest," he said, pointing to the mess of cereal on the floor, "and then defeated Friday inna lightsaber battle!"

"Ooooh. You know, Friday's littler than you. Were you nice to him?" Rory checked.

[sith_happened]

He nodded. "I let him think he'd cut off my hand and everything first," he said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"That was nice of you," Rory said with a smile. "Why do you have a bucket?"

[sith_happened]

"I was being a superhero," he told her, "and I needed a secret dentity."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Ohhhhhhhh," Rory said, nodding solemnly. She lowered her voice. "Is it working?"

[sith_happened]

He nodded. "As long as you don't tell anyone," he whispered.

Well, "whispered."

"Cross my heart," Rory said, drawing an X over her chest.

[sith_happened]

He gave her another hug and a wet kiss on the cheek. "Bestest Rory ever," he declared.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Awwww," she said, hugging him tight. "Do you know other Rories?"

[sith_happened]

"It wouldn't matter if I knew a million other Rories," he declared, "I love you bestest."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory, admirably, didn't cry at that.

"I love you bestest too," she decided. "Now, what do you want to do?"

[sith_happened]

"Outside?" he asked hopefully.

It should be noted that he didn't have shoes on.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You need shoes," Rory said, frowning thoughtfully. "Or else your toes will freeze and fall off!"

She punctuated this by covering his feet with her hands and possibly tickling.

[sith_happened]

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Anakin shrieked, giggling.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And now she was tickling his ribs. "You can't escaaaaaaape," she taunted.

[sith_happened]

"Eeeeeeeeeeeee!" he shrieked some more, giggling and trying to wriggle out of the way.

Too bad Rory was bigger, for once, and she had a pretty good grip on him.

She blew a raspberry on his tummy and laughed at him.

[sith_happened]

"Stop it stopit stopit," he giggled.

Not really meaning it.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Noooo, you're my prisoner," Rory declared, snagging him around the waist and settling onto the ground for the time being. "I have captured you."

[sith_happened]

"Jailbreak!" he cried, trying to break out of her hug.
