Realistic or Modern The Beginning of the End

[DrTrollinski]

"Yeah, I always went with him... I'd make him breakfast, get him some juice, help him get changed, then we'd go swimming for a couple of hours." He laughed a little but then shook his head. ".. I remember, when he'd just turned four, he could swim, but only in the shallow end... That's not my point, though. Think, I was only... twelve, at the time. He wasn't fully capable of taking care of himself in some ways, so, one morning, we go down to the pool after he woke me up, but then he tells me he needs the bathroom..." He started quietly laughing occasionally while he spoke. ".. I thought he only needed to pee, but a few minutes later he calls out to me - It was really early, so Alex and my parents weren't awake, so I was the one that had to go in and wipe his butt for him. He couldn't do it himself." He laughed again. ".. And that, is brotherly dedication at its finest." He grinned. (@Soul OMU

"Okay!" He smiled and then shot out of the kitchen to go upstairs. He ran to the closet and opened it up to look through some of the board games. There were quite a few, but he found Snakes and Ladders easily. He slid it out and then ran back downstairs and into the living room where he set it up on the floor and put the pieces down - Carl was using the blue piece, and he'd put a green piece down for Tom and a red one down for Scarlet. "Scarlet! Daddy! The game's ready so I'm gonna' wait in here!" He yelled. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

Jenna laughs softly. "Oh my gosh, that's way to funny! But that is pretty big brotherly step." She said while smiling a bit.

Scarlet smiles while washing the dishes. "Alright hun, we'll be over in a few." She said while washing the dishes, humming softly. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrCompton]

"I think this will be fun . Board games, movies, popcorn and Mac n cheese? I dunno if this day can get any better Red. Thanks for helping me out." He bumps her hip lightly with his @Soul OMU

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Yeah, I can't say I was happy to do it at first. To be honest, I didn't know how, either. I mean, I'd never done that for someone before, you know?" He chuckled and hugged her with one arm. The sun was on the verge of setting, so he was starting to get a little more excited. ".. I'm just happy Carl turned out the way he is. We may have had our disagreements, but he's a good kid, wouldn't hurt a fly." He said as he leaned back a bit so he could look up at the sky. (@Soul OMU)

"Okay!" Carl ran over to the couch and hopped up onto it, lying on his back while looking up at the ceiling. He didn't mind waiting for them to finish up the cleaning. He lied there and started daydreaming about the town, about the movie night, and about Eric and Jenna's date. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet smiles a bit while washing the dishes. "If your just going to stand there, you can dry the dishes." She said while smiling at him.


--


Jenna smiles and leans against him. "He is a good kid, you, Tom and Alex all did a really good job." She said softly while closing her eyes briefly. (@DrCompton, @DrTrollinski)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom smiled and grabbed a towel, and started to dry the dishes after scarlet was done. "So, guess what I found in the store a few days ago?" Tom smiled and looked at her as he stacked the plates @Soul OMU

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet finishes washing the dishes and dries her hands before putting them on her hips. "What?" (@DrCompton)

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. We tried." He smiled. He was thinking about the movie theater. He knew that'd be nice for Tom and Scarlet if he could get that up and running. ".. Jenna--.. What's Scarlet's favorite movie? I don't know what my dad's is, but I know he'll watch Scarlet's choice anyway, he's like that." He smiled in thought for a moment. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Jenna blinks and looks at him. "Well she really likes Pride and Prejude but she also had started to like Disney movies before this happened. Her favorite was Beauty and the Beast." She said while looking at him. "Why?" (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrCompton]

"Wine! Good wine too, guess that was the last thing people thought of..." He laughed a little. "Maybe after we tuck Carl in you and I can have a couple of glasses ourselves, huh?" @Soul OMU

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Well. I know what film reel to look for if we get the movie theater up and running, don't I?" He chuckled and then hugged her again. ".. May as well do something nice for them, you know? I think they'd appreciate it." He shrugged and then looked at the sky again. Slowly, it was starting to get dim. (@Soul OMU)

Carl stood up and walked over to the entrance of the kitchen and leaned against the frame of the archway. He peered in at them both with big puppy dog eyes and casually swayed from side to side while holding onto the frame. ".. Are you guys done yeeeeet...?" He asked. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Jenna looks at the small pond with him, watching the sunset slowly. "That would be quite nice and Scarlet would absolutely love that." She said softly while smiling at him.


--


Scarlet smiles a bit at his suggestion before turning to look at Carl. "Almost Sweetheart. Just finishing up, we'll be there in a moment." She said while smiling.

 

[DrCompton]

Tom put the last of the dishes away, "Okay, I think we are done!" He walked past Scarlet and picked Carl up, throwing him over his shoulder, "I'm the blue piece right?"

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet smiles a bit and shakes head in amusement as she follows after them. "Hey, wait for me." she said while huffing a bit in mock annoyance before smiling brightly as she walks into the living room with them and sits down. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrTrollinski]

(Gimme a sec. I'm posting on my phone)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Nuh-uh... I'm blue, cause that's my favourite color!" He grinned. "You're green." He said to Tom as he pointed at the green piece. "And Scarlet, you're red!" He pointed at the red piece and grinned again. Carl sure was an excitable kid, they've noticed. (@Soul OMU. @DrCompton)

The sun was finally a nice Orange color, and Eric slowly pulled Jenna up with him and then walked to the edge of the pond. The pond glimmered with the orange light and almost seemed to sparkle. It was a scene of pure peace, nonetheless.


"This is why I wanted to wait until sunset... I spent a lot of time here over the month and I saw how nice this place looked. I thought it'd be nice for us to just come and talk for a while and take in the scenery." He smiled and squeezed her hand. (@Soul OMU)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom grinned, "well how come Scarlet gets to be red? What if red was my favorite color?" Toms tone is very joking and teasing towards Carl.

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet smiles a bit in amusement. "Am I red because of my hair Carl?" she said in amusement while watching him and leaning back slightly in her seat.

Jenna smiles a bit as she leans against him, looking out over the pond as the sun is glittering off the pond. "I love it... It is quite beautiful and very peace..." she said softly while squeezing his hand back. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Well, I--.." He was taken aback. "I'm sorry... You can be different colors if you want." He said with a shrug - he wasn't fully able to understand when people were teasing or not. "It does kinda look like Scarlet's hair, though... So no. You can't have red, daddy." He smirked. (@Soul OMU)


--


"It's not over yet... So why don't we hop into our pumpkin carriage and head towards our next destination, eh?" He joked and winked at her. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet laugh softly while covering her mouth. "He can have the red piece if he wants, I don't mind. Besides I like green better." she said while smiling.


--


Jenna raises a brow and smiles a bit. "Alright then. So where's your fairy godmother if you got a pumpkin carriage?" she said while looking at him. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[Soviet Panda]

"You can give it a try. But I bet you you won't be able to." he said, thinking of his bow's draw weight compared to Daniels. And in all honesty, it wasn't much better. It could probably go that inch deeper, but otherwise it would do the exact same thing.


(@DrTrollinski )

 

[DrCompton]

Tom pulled Carl into his lap, "I don't care what color I am bud." He kissed the top of Carls head, "so what are the rules Carl I've never played with game before. He looked over the board to try and make sense of whatnot all meant

 

[DrTrollinski]

"You've never played Snakes and Ladders?!" He was jaw-dropped. ".. Okay, you gotta' take the dice and roll them, and then you go along the board like this." He smiled as he dragged his piece along the board to demonstrate. "If you land on the bottom of a ladder, ya' get to go up it like this." He dragged his piece up a ladder which lead to a few lines above the line he started on. "But if you land on the top of a snake, you gotta' go down it!" He dragged his piece down the longest snake on the board and he was near the bottom once again. "Do ya' get it?" He asked. (@Soul OMU


--


"Well. Maybe I lied about the fairy godmother, but I didn't lie about our next destination." He smiled as he took her by the hand and began to lead her out of the park and into town a little further. He was thinking about what he had planned and smiled in thought - it was going to be a nice night. (@Soul OMU

".. Nuh-uh. I'll stick to mine, I'm better with this and I don't really want to mess it up." He said with a shrug. ".. Are you ready to go?" He asked. (@Beowulf)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet gives Tom a look. "How could you never have played this game! It was amazing in my childhood." She said while huffing slightly and puffing up her cheeks a bit.


Jenna smiles a bit and holds his hand as she follows after him. "well of course you lied about that. It would have been interesting to be in a pumpkin carriage." She said while laughing softly and following him. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom laughed at the two, "well since I've got the two experts in this game then huh?" He rustled Carls hair. "So Carl, we should let the prettiest one in our bunch go right?" He looked at Scarlet and winked
