MCA #10 - Saturday morning

[light_a_spark]

The bed Roy woke up in was rather big, but big beds were fun and he wriggled away from the girl sleeping beside him to inspect the heap of kittens lying at the foot of the bed. Dee got up to inspect him back and her whiskers tickles his cheek and nose, making Roy giggle.

"Stop that! It tickles."

((For the apartment owner.))

"I can make hot chocolate!" Roy shouted, because he could and he was slowly starting to realise that there weren't any adults here to tell him what to do.

She jumped up quickly. "REALLY?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes!" He said smugly, jumping off his chair with the boxes. It couldn't be hard, it was just pouring milk and then putting it in the microwave and turn buttons.

"I'll play with you if you make me some," Aly said, eyes wide.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy eyed her suspiciously. "Play what?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She had to think for a moment. But...hot chocolate and....

"Anything you want."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy considered it. "Okay," he decided and he placed the boxes carefully on the counter before he went to open the fridge to get the milk.

Aly watched him carefully because next time she wasn't going to have to bargain with this silly boy to get hot choklit. Grownups were better.

Roy simply ignored the watching as he got the milk from the fridge and then climbed back on the chair to get two mugs from the cupboard. He set them down and proceeded to pour milk in them, very careful not to spill any.

"So why you like books so much?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Because you can learn from them," he replied. The microwave pinged as he pushed the open button and he set the mugs inside. Now he just needed to figure out how to start it up.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She watched warily. "Not everything."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"A lot," he closed the door and studied the buttons a moment longer.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You don't know ho~ow," Aly singsonged. "You said you could an' you can't!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Can too!" he shouted, quickly turning the button and pushing the other one which made the microwave jump to life.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Her eyes widened. "That was good!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy lifted his chin. "Course it was."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"WHere's the choklit then?" she asked, coming into the kitchen, dragging an uncomplaining Dee along.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Heating up!" he frowned at her. "You need to be more patient."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh! You only put milk in the cups!" Aly argued.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes. "You put the chocolate in afterwards, dummy."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"'M not playing with you if you call me a dummy!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You promised," he pointed out.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"SO?" she asked, pouting just a little. "You're bein' mean."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If I was mean I wouldn't be making you hot chocolate," he pointed out and the milk was making bubbles, even coming over the sides so Roy quickly pushed the button.

The door flipped open and Roy quickly reached inside to grab the mugs to save them. He hissed as it was hot. "Ow."
