Loool, I love this mini epic adventure they had to go on! Oh, Aaron and Ivy, I do love you both so much.

(And there's Rita! Hi, Rita!)

Love this. :D

Mini epic adventures pretty much characterize Ivy's childhood, but they usually don't end in the police getting called. XD

There is indeed Rita! And now we know what her last name is, too. She's official-like!

Thank you!

The aftermath isn't actually all that bad; their parents are way too relieved that they're both alive and okay and that the only problem was a set of lost keys to be too pissed off at them. I just didn't feel like writing it last night. And yeah, from here on out Ivy bloody well makes sure she or Aaron has their keys.

Thanks for reading!

Oh, ha. Those poor kids, having to walk all over the city and then finding out the cops were called. I bet they learn a very valuable lesson from this about not losing keys.

Well, sort of. The lesson Ivy really learns is "always know where the pay phones are" and then once cell phones get widespread enough for her to justify having one, "always have your cell phone." Keys get lost, it happens.

Thanks for reading!

Ahaha, I love the everyday sort of adventures people have every now and again. It's fun. And the relationship between Aaron and Ivy is, as always, awesome at the same time as being markedly realistic. Nice one!

Thanks very much! Yeah, this is not by any means a typical afternoon, but it's definitely a typical childhood episode for them both. XD I'm glad you liked it, and thought it was realistic!

AHA this is outstanding. I like that the beginning and the end mirror each other a little bit, with the "you're not supposed to say that" dialogue. Poor Aaron and Ivy, having to do all that walking around for nothing. At least nothing happened to them!

Nah, they're both pretty savvy kids, and they stuck to pretty safe areas of the city. Can't blame their parents for freaking out, though. Thanks for reading!
