There she was, sitting on the steps, hugging the plushy Charmander to her chest. Lyra was used to mommy or daddy being a little late and all. Usually it wasn't very long, just a couple of minutes late. But she had been sitting there for ten now. Lyra stood up, glancing at the sidewalk and the street. Where was mommy? Why hadn't she come yet? Or daddy?
Sighing, she went back inside and sat down at one of the stray dollhouses. "That's all wrong." She mumbled as she took the doll mom out of the house and put her near a box. She put a barbie in her place in the house.

She was running late. But honestly, it wasn't her fault. She had errands to run being an assistant, and Shames had nearly forgotten it was his turn to pick Lyra up. When Evan called Corona, she was still in a class. Evan understood, and told her she'd pick Lyra up. It was time, wasn't it? To actually have one-on-one time with Lyra, it was what she wanted after all. Then... why were there so many butterflies in her stomach? Pulling up with the Prius to the side of the building she turned the engine off. Popping the door open, she grabbed the lavender colored bag that the panda was in and shut the door, locking it as she walked up towards the front door. Smiling at one of the dance teachers, she explained it was a mix up with pickups, and that she was here to get Lyra Reynolds. "Last I saw, she was playing with the doll house." The woman answered, pointing her towards the playroom. " Thank you." It wasn't hard finding the room. As she stepped inside, she watched a moment as Lyra played with the dolls. " Hey you." She smiled softly, walking in fully to stand beside her. Crouching down, she looked inside. " I'm here to take you home." She said softly, reaching out and almost touching her hair, but she felt that might upset Lyra and quickly stopped. " Your mom is still teaching and your dad's in a meeting, I think. So... I told them I'd get you." She explained softly. " I was thinking, we could head home and watch cartoons..." She paused. " Or... we could go to McDonalds' and maybe go to the park or something? It's a really nice day out." She smiled easily. |

"Your mom is still teaching and your dad's in a meeting, I think. So... I told them I'd get you."
Lyra sighed a bit, looking a tiny bit depressed. Why must they send her? Couldn't Nicolas come get her instead? She liked him. He was nice...and daddy-like. She looked up at Evangeline and cocked her head to the side. "Oh....hi....Evangeline." She said softly with little enthusiasm. Honestly, she tried to be happier, but it was difficult. Before she was going to ask her earlier question, she was stopped by Evan speaking again.
"Or... we could go to McDonalds' and maybe go to the park or something? It's a really nice day out."
She beamed and hopped up on to her feet, clapping her hands happily. "Yes! And Nicolas come and push me real high like yesterday!! And then he brings ice cream and we eat it and watch a movie...with poppycorn...and..and...he reads me book and tucks me in and stuff." She picked up her little tiger backpack and grabbed her plushy Charmander. Then, Lyra grabbed Evangeline's hand and started out the door. "We're gonna have lotses of fun! YAY!!" She said with a big grin on her face.

"Oh....hi....Evangeline."
Evan frowned a bit at the tone of voice that Lyra had used when saying her name. Of course, Evan deserved every little bit of this. She never did play this out right from the beginning, so, Lyra had every reason to be mad or upset with her, for whatever reason.
"Yes! And Nicolas come and push me real high like yesterday!! And then he brings ice cream and we eat it and watch a movie...with poppycorn...and..and...he reads me book and tucks me in and stuff.
Nicolas? Evan's mouth dried out quickly, and found herself slowly sitting down next to her, forcing a smile. If only Lyra was old enough to know... "Um, Lyra.." She began, but couldn't truly find the words. But it didn't matter as Lyra grabbed her things and Evan's hand and started pulling towards the door. Taking to her feet, she looked down at Lyra and smiled softly as they walked out of the building.
"We're gonna have lotses of fun! YAY!!"
Evan smiled lightly, unlocking the Prius and opening the back door. "Lyra." She spoke again as the girl hopped inside and into the car seat. "I was thinking..." She smiled as she helped buckle her in. "Maybe this time it could just be you and me?" She asked, a brow raised slightly.
"And then next time, we'll... invite Nicolas, okay?"

"Maybe this time it could just be you and me?"
The dazzling smile that once resided upon the little girl's face, disappeared instantly. Just you and me? Lyra wasn't sure. For a moment, she hugged her plushy Charmander and thought. After a second of silence, she looked up and with a firm nod, she spoke.
"Otay...but you promise he come next time, right?"
She looked up at Evan with big shiny blue eyes. Lyra hoped she'd say yes, even though she had noticed that the two didn't seem to like each other all too well. Lyra thought that if she could manage to make those two get along, that maybe she'd have the guts to get along with Evan.
((Sorry short and sucky; im so dead over here.))
