case 025

[justastic]

[Apollo's definitely grown used to sleeping alone, and sleeping deeply. It means that he doesn't notice the little kid crawling onto his bed, or the warm body next to him which he begins to lean into, an arm already looped loosely around her shoulders. It's all very peaceful and cute

[and Trucy is blissfully unaware, because she sleeps like a rock man

when the kid jumps onto Apollo, though, she does notice... but it's all white noise to her, in her fog of sleepiness, so all she does is groan a little and shift some, ignoring whatever interruptions may come in favor of sleep]

[justastic]

[If only. Apollo manages to calm down the excited little girl a bit...this is definitely his room, if the red clothes are any indication. He glances over at the girl beside him and freezes. Oh god, there's some girl in bed with him. When did she get there? What's going to happen?!

...oh wait, it's just Trucy. Never mind. He shakes her shoulder a bit.]

Trucy, wake up. There's something you need to see.

[A giggle.] Daddy, let her sleep!

[magicpanties]

Nnnngh....

Yeah, daddy, let me sleep.

[ROLLS AWAY]

[justastic]

...

[And he shakes her shoulder a little harder, while looking at the kid. JUST ROLLING WITH IT FOR NOW.]

So, um...we're your daddy and mommy?

[magicpanties]

[noooo she doesn't want to wake up

she'll roll away again! except... that's the edge of the bed

so she falls out with a small scream and a thump

at least she's awake now]

[justastic]

That's wright! I-- h-huh? Mommy?!

[Yyyyyyep. The kid seems to be content with cuddling into Apollo's chest, peering with him over the edge of the bed as he holds her.]

...Trucy?

[magicpanties]

Polly? What are you doing in my room?

[and then.... what the kid says registers in her brain]

Wait, when did you become a mother?

[justastic]

This is my room. And it looks like you're the mother.

[She tugs free of Apollo's grip to plop down on the floor and check on Trucy. MOMMY MOMMY ARE YOU OKAY]

[magicpanties]

Don't be silly, Polly. I'm too young to be a mother.

[she's just like checking out this kid, though... but yeah she's fine, she just hasn't gotten up off of the floor yet okay?]

[justastic]

...you haven't been in the castle very long, if you think that. [Pause. She's just...doing her thing on you, patting your face.] She does look like us, too.

[magicpanties]

Does she? I don't see it.

Hold on...

[she sits up now, looking dis girl in da eyes.... then she reaches up and pulls the girl's bangs up in an imitation of Apollo's hair spikes]

Oh, wait, I kind of see it now.

[justastic]

[Flat look. Apollo shifts out of bed to stand in front of them, bending down to offer a hand to Trucy and the kid. Speaking of...]

Um, sorry, but...what's your name?

Helena!

Okay...come on, Helena. Up you get. You too, Trucy.

[magicpanties]

[as she's being helped to her feet, she's still mulling it over]

I don't get it though. I don't remember having a kid...

[justastic]

It's probably just the castle. I mean, I know we didn't...you know.

[And Helena appears to be hungry! She's already tugging on Polly's hand, insisting on pancakes or somesuch.]

1/2

[magicpanties]

I wonder what daddy'll say...

[magicpanties]

[and in the same breath]

Yeah! Make us pancakes, Polly!
