Y'know how I mentioned that Jay managed to befriend some fellow Toppats. Well here's some interactions
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jay becomes great friends with specifically, Witch, Five Eyes, Burt, Topbot, and Gremlin.
1. Witch helps Jay with their powers, Since she has her own unnatural abilities as well.
2. Jay and Five Eyes can end up talking for hours. Five Eyes might also have powers, But Jay isn't certain yet.
3. During work, Jay and Burt don't talk much. But during breaks, They'll talk mostly about video games and such. Burt is drinking coffee while Jay is drinking hot chocolate, Jay doesn't like coffee.
4. Jay was one of the first people that Topbot actually talked to. He makes them feel more human.
5. Gremlin and Jay are chaotic besties. If something happens to Jay, Gremlin is one of the first to leap in to protect Jay (Quite literally) and attack whoever's hurting them.
Basically, I made Jay befriend all the weird ones lol (And Burt)

Gremlin is a personal fav stick of mine, so I wonder what your humanized version of her would look like 🤔
Tumblr media
Here's Gremlin
the term Gremlin always reminds me of the Gremlincore aesthetic, that was mostly the inspiration for her clothes.
I don't think it's too out of the ordinary for her to dress like this, rumour has it she grew up on her own in the wild after all

Stickmintober Day 29: Favorite Background Character
Tumblr media
RHM: Stop telling the chief he smells like pennies.
Gremlin: nnnNNOOOO!
RHM: Go back to work.
Tumblr media
Gremlin: I GO UNWILLINGLY!
-----------------------------------------------------
My favorite background stick is Gremlin, who is seen for a brief moment in the beginning of the Valiant Hero path in Completing the Mission. Mostly because I like to imagine that she sounds like Michael Davies from Faith: The Unholy Trinity. To further prove my point, here's this totally real picture of Gremlin joining the Toppat Clan that Mr. Puffballs himself gave me. (Not clickbait):
Tumblr media
I also like to imagine she sees Reginald as either a father figure or a "leader of the pack" figure. Reginald is less inclined to agree.
For the full experience, here's a link to Michael Davies' voice clips from the game (Loudness Warning and Warning for swearing in Spanish:
youtube
I'm going to do a double post tomorrow, combining the 30th and 31st prompts into one thingy! Let's go out with a spooky bang! See you tomorrow for one more day of sticks!

Here's a self indulgent (Kinda sloppy) mini fic. Jay has a nightmare and their friends try to help.
It's meant to explore Jay's friendship with some Toppats and is a bit of a mini vent if you squint (Sometimes I have really fucked up nightmares and take a guess what happened last night...).
TW: I guess Jay has a brief panic attack? I'm not sure what else to call it.
The Witch was getting ready to go back to her room for the night. As she walked down the hallway, Gremlin ran up next to her. “Witchy! How are ya tonight?” “Hey Gremlin, I’m fine.” She yawned a bit. “Just getting ready to turn in for the night.” The two talked for a minute before Topbot suddenly ran over.
“Miss Witch! Miss Gremlin! There is a dire emergency!” “Wh-What’s wrong?” The Witch asked concerned. “The temperature in young Jay’s room increased drastically!” Topbot explained. “I went in to check on them and he was surrounded by flames!” “Jay! We can’t just stand here, We gotta help them!” Gremlin quickly ran off, With The Witch and Topbot trying to keep up.
They stopped in front of Jay’s door. The Witch peeked open the door and saw red flames surrounding the bed (Which wasn’t burning due to a charm The Witch put on the room during Jay’s first few days there), With Jay curled up in a ball on it. “Gremlin, Go get Five-Eyes, Quickly!” The Witch ordered. “Topbot and I are gonna try and help Jay.” Gremlin nodded before leaving.
The Witch and Topbot avoided the flames and climbed on the bed. “Jay, What’s wrong sweetheart? What happened?” The Witch carefully lifted Jay’s head up, His face having tears streaming down it. Topbot ran a diagnostic check on them. “Young Jay’s breathing and heartbeat have increased. He’s in distress…”
“Jay, You’re gonna be okay, I promise.” The Witch gently took Jay’s hands. “Take some deep breaths with me, Okay?” She took a few deep breaths, With Jay doing the same. After a minute, Jay at least calmed down enough to speak. “I-I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…”
The door opened again, With Gremlin and Five-Eyes entering the room. Five-Eyes read something from a book he was holding, Which caused his hand to glow blue and put out the fire around the bed. “There we go.” He hummed before facing the others. “What happened here?”
“Young Jay was distressed about something. They must’ve caused the fire by accident.” Topbot spoke. “Y-Yeah… It happens every time I…” Jay felt too ashamed to speak anymore about it. “You can tell us what’s wrong.” The Witch reassured them. “We won’t think any differently of you.”
“I just had a stupid nightmare… It was nothing for me to get so bent out of shape about…” Jay muttered. “I don’t wanna talk about it…” “You don’t have to if it makes you uncomfortable. But it isn’t stupid.” Five-Eyes sat near Jay. “We’ll always be here to help you, Jay. No matter how stupid or silly it may feel.”
Jay smiled weakly. “Thank you…” The Witch carefully pulled Jay up. “How about we get you some water to drink. Then we can stay up for a little while and help distract you from your nightmare.” “Yeah, How about we bake something! You like to do that!” Gremlin suggested. “We can eat it for breakfast tomorrow morning!”
“Yeah, That sounds great.” As they all walked down the hallway, With Topbot listing off some possible recipes, Jay smiled to themselves. The horrible nightmare was already beginning to fade from his mind.

The Assassi's - Assassination for Preparation
How much can I write in a day, after just waking up and only writing for about 2 and a half hours?
Apparently, 2.6k words. Anyways! The stuff beforehand:
Jane Dex and Nicole Dex both belong to @howlerlight
Tw: Assassination. Assassination Attempt. Death Threat. Guns.
~~~
"Do you really have to go? Won't it be dangerous?" Gremlin spoke, watching Marc slip on a darker color outfit than he normally did, but still having the hood over his head.
"Oh, it'll be extremly dangerous. This is Mx. Dex we're talking about! No doubt, someone's gonna be high on our tail, especially with Jordan being on the case as their bodygaurd." Marc spoke, looking himself in the mirror for a moment. Once satisfied with his gear, he gave a nod and grabbed his hidden blades, which were a strapped with a very dark blue leather, rather than the orange-y tone that Riker's had.
"Jordan..?"
"Green." Marc replied, with Gremlin shaking her head. "Okay, so their name is Jordan?"
"It's a codename, Gremmy." Marc said, shifting the belts across his chest to tighten them, hearing a click from the joints behind him to indicate it had tightened and now fit properly.
"So, their name isn't Jordan.. Then why are they called Jordan?" Gremlin asked, standing up as she walked over to Marc, grabbing up sniper that laid ever so carefully out for Marc, tracing her hand lightly over the barrel of it. "Listen, I just don't want you hurt, okay..?"
"Jordan, being a common name for a taller American looking person. Although, Green isn't actually American, it still helps." Marc said, turning to Gremlin as his smile faded, moving over to Gremlin and lightly cupping her cheek, enough to gain her attention and allowing her to lean into his hand. "I'll stay as safe as I can, okay? You need no worry, min duva. I've done this before."
Gremlin gave a sigh, before nodding and looking to Marc's eyes, smiling in a worried manner. "I know, but I'm still gonna worry.." She spoke, with Marc moving forward to set the sniper down, hugging Gremlin once the gun was safelt down. He moved on hand to take the top hat away, resting in her hair. He felt Gremlin nuzzle against his chest, his face warming up and feeling oddly.. Soft and fuzzy inside. He felt the smile return, moving back to look Gremlin in the face, moving his hand that held the top hat up to move her hair out of her face. "Min duva, I'll return before you know it." He spoke, setting the top hat back on her head.
"Promise me it?" Gremlin spoke, moving one of her hands up to boop Marc's nose.
"What if I reveal just a little bit about me? Will that assure you?"
"It better be taking that hood off." The two shared a chuckle at that, with Marc shaking his head softly.
"My name is Marco. I'm Italian and Swedish." Marc hummed softly, before booping her nose back. "Call me Marc, but don't use it around the other Toppat's, sì?"
Gremlin nodded at that, before she glanced to the time. "Well, Marc, you need to get going, if you're gonna make it to the rally in time." She said, feeling more assured than she ever thought she could. Moving away, she allowed Marc to set the sniper rifle in its holster on his back, but Gremlin also took this chance to grab the magazine he had laying out. Two bullets only. Man, there really wasn't any room for error, was there?
Soon, they were set down the hallway, Gremlin walking beside Marc on the way towards the teleporter. Kyro had been sent out hours before him for preperation and being around one of the main rally leaders. They couldn't exactly give away what they were doing, but what was happening was better silent than spoken.
As soon as they reached it, Gremlin stopped Marc short, her nerves eating at her again. "How can I be sure that it goes well?"
"Cut the news channel on, you'll see Jordan around. Just know, I'll be around behind the camera. And, expect us back about an hour or two after it ends." Marc said, settling on giving a kiss to the back of Gremlin's hand, before he moved towards the teleporter, giving a nod to Burt and being sent through, down towards the Earth. Gremlin stood still, face pink from the kiss and heart practically beating out of her chest, before she finally made her way out of the communications and teleportation room, walking towards one of the lounges to put on the rally...
~~~
Marc practically ran from point A to point B, that being about three miles apart, it took about twenty-five for running about two and a half miles. Another bit to walk and take time to catch his breath, about four minutes of walking, two more of running, and he made it too the building he needed. Yes, he did have dip and swerve through alleyways, but soon made it exactly where he needed.
Climbing up the fire escape, right to the top of the building, he lifted himself onto the edge and looking around, trying to spot who he needed. No, not the rally leader, although spotting them and Kyro was a good bonus. He looked around more and finally found who they needed.. The pink haired military solider.. A good shot, and will do anything to protect Mx. Nicole Dex. That wasn't his target. As soon as he noticed her, on a nearby building, he took another look around to spot another mysterious fellow... But their shot wasn't aimed for the opposing rally leader to Nicole.. It was AT Nicole.
Marc moved himself backwards, settling on the nearby wall and just watching, waiting.. Please, for the love of God, shoot the bitch..
His eyes stayed focused on the military officer, watching her move the rifle to aim at the blackened figure that was, in his opinion, a dumbass assassin wanna-be. He held his breath just a bit, as if he was the one holding the gun, before he spotted he gun move, quickly turning to see the other guy killed off, now a lifeless corpse hanging on the side. He moved swiftly, ducking behind the wall he was at, and using his momentum and speed to juum from the building he was on, down onto Jane's building.
Jane jerked around at the sound, but where Marc had landed? There was no one there. She took a moment to scan the area well, but ultimately spotted nothing. "You got the target?" Rang out a gruff voice in her ear, moving a hand to tap the mic button. "Affermative. But, I'm staying longer. I have a feeling.." She spoke back, cutting off the mic and taking one last look, before settling back down on the ground and checking her sniper scope.
That was, until she felt weight on her back, between her shoulders that kept her down. Her expression changed to shock, grabbing the rifle tighter and keeping her ground. "I need you to stay calm, Mrs. Dex. My goal is not Mx. Dex."
"Who are you, and what do you mean?" With Jane's words, she tried to push herslef upwards, not expecting to be rivaled by the strength of the unknown person above her. She did break some, but it wasn't enough, and she wasn't repaired to listen to the words of whoever this foreigner was. "And I swear, if you give some dumbass annswer-"
"Call me Snipe. I do not want Mx. Dex dead, I want her opposing member dead." This got Jane to let up just slightly. Turning her head to look Marc dead in the eyes. Her own eyes were narrowed, flicking her sniper on safety as to not cause a stray bullet, before putting her arms under her.
"How can I trust you, hmm?" She asked, a snarl in her tone, but she felt the weight leave her shoulders, watching as this male got down and laid beside her, with his own sniper. Gloves, the cape and hood, his dead stare of want.. She took one look down to the sniper, seeing the safety engaged as well.
"Take a look.." He spoke, glancing to Jane, and after a bit of a stare off, they both looked in their respective scopes. "That person you see standing beside Mx. Dex? Large, glasses, practically looking at us?" Gaining a hum once Jane spotted the person, did Marc continue. "Their with me. They're there to protect Mx. Dex, not harm." Turning the gun slightly, Marc flicked the safety off.
Jane glared for a moment, watching him line up the shot. "What did he do, huh?" She asked, moving her sniper to bump Marc's off, gaining a growl and seeing him bare his teeth. This made her smirk, and also gain his attention.
"He's corrupt and a liar. Put my crew in danger just to to keep his ass safe. I'm not letting him do that to la ma famiglia again." Marc said, taking his time to line up the shot. "Mind doing me a favor?"
"I would mind, actually. I don't know you."
"And yet you haven't knocked the gun out of my hand. Aim at the bodygaurd's head."
"No."
Marc hummed, already expecting the answer, before he put his finger on the trigger. "Then move." He said, without taking another answer. She was either moving or getting hit with a bullet shell. Frankly? She only gave a chuckle and shuffled backwards. And quickly, two more shots rang out. The two bullets in Marc's chamber were gone, one through the skull of the bodygaurd, and the other through the neck of the rally leader.
Hearing the click of the gun behind him, as well as a barrel of a sniper being placed to the back of his skull, he could only sigh. "Well, that seems a little too easy, huh? Putting blind trust in-"
With anohter shot ringing out, as well as the grunt of Kyro in Marc's ear, did his fake 'you got me' turn to actual shock. "Jordan?? Are you okay?" He asked into the mic, before he gained a small 'I'm fine' from the bodygaurd. "You can't just give me an 'I'm fine'- Bring the car around, is Mx. Dex still alive?"
"I got shot in the ribs. Gonna be bruised for a while. Mx. Dex is alive- Swinging by to get you and Officer Dex." Kyro spoke, clear and deep, which was enough to soothe Marc's worries, before he looked to Jane and grabbed her sniper, using his strength to get by her to try and knock her down, but Jane wasn't going to let up easily. She fought back, using her advantage of skill set to rip the sniper out of Marc's hands and topple him to the ground.
She aimed the sniper at him, right between his eyes. "Give me one good fucking reason I shouldn't put a bullet through your brains."
"Jordan has Nicole safe! They're on their way to pick us up! Nicole is safe, trust me! Hold me at gunpoint until you see proof." Jane glared down in his eyes, trigger finger ready to pull, but she couldn't. Safety was still on. Glaring and growling, Marc took this chance to grab his sniper and run towards the edge of the building. He was able to hook it on his back, before jumping from the edge.
On the opposing building: Fire escapes. He grabbed onto the railing once he was close enough, his ribs hitting onto the bars. Although it hurt, he didn't have time, moving as quickly as he could down to railings. Once he was down on the ground, a car skidded to a halt beside him, doors unlocking as he jumped into the back seat.
Jane had been high on his tail, going down the building they were on's fire escape to get down, slower than Marc, but still hitting the ground shortly after Marc got into the car. She opened the other side, get in and-
"Jane?" Her gaze softened as she saw her own sister, alive and well, right beside her. "I knew it was you.." She said, moving in and hugging her, still stunned, younger sister.
Jane finally moved to hug Nicole back, feeling the car move and hearing the doors lock for their safety. "I.. You.. But.." She stammered, looking to the heavy-breathing Marc in the seat in front of her. "You... Weren't lying."
"Nope. Wouldn't lie about something like this." Marc spoke, giving a chuckle, which was quickly followed by a hiss of discomfort, and some minor swearing in Swedish. "Ohh, I think that's broken.."
"Really? When's that ever shocking?" Kyro spoke, taking off their sunglasses to reveal the multi-colored, prosthetic eye they wore that day. Black and red checkered, with some little white speckles. Their comment was followed by a hearty chuckle at the glare they gained from Marc.
"Oh, here we are, Mx. Silent with the jokes, ey?" Marc said, dramatically moving his hands and head, just to gain more laughter and giggles from the three others in the car. "Anyways, is there somewhere safe you two can go for the night? Away from uh... Paparazzi?"
"The press. Paparazzi applies to celebraties, press applies to politcal figures. But, I think we do have somewhere." Nicole spoke, looking to Jane with a smile, gaining a nod from the younger.
~~~
About three hours passed, before Marc actually called Burt to get them picked up, both him and Kyro being sore in the ribs from damaging them. Marc had called Riker, just to tell him they were alive, before they finally got teleported upwards.
With getting back up to the orbital station, it was a bit painful for them. Marc was sent to the medic ward immediately, given for how much pain it was for him breathing, and Kyro just dismissed their own discomfort as bruising, before going to find Joey.
Walking through the halls, suit and all, their glasses were tucked in their breast pocket. They soon spotted the lounge where they could see Joey, swaying and chewing at her nails, chatting with Malli and Riker. Well, less of chatting and more of listening to the two talking with each other.
They also looked around, to find Gremlin sitting silently, anxious by the way she tapped at the table, sitting across from the third in line, Sven Svensson. Sven was chatting, seemingly trying to calm Gremlin down. Looking between the groups, they decided to go towards Gremlin first, wanting to ease her nerves and not leave her in the dark. They hated being left in the dark themselves, so alleviating that stress would help ease the anxiety.
Walking over, they gave a tap to the table to gain both Sven's and Gremlin's attention. They gave a glance to Sven, before looking to Gremlin and crouching down, motioning her closer. Cupping their hand to her ear, they then spoke: "Blue is okay. He'll be pleased to see you in the medical bay. Worst thing, a broken rib." They pulled back, with Gremlin's eyes wide with relief. Before they knew it, Gremlin was hugging them and thanking them. Kyro did give a pat to their back, albeit awkwardly, they got up and let Gremlin run off, before giving a nod to Sven, and turning around to get over to Joey.
Giving a tap to Joey's shoulder, they turned around and gasp, before quite literally jumping into Kyro's arm, the size difference being funny to other's around them. But, to Kyro, this was home. They hugged Joey tightly, lightly nuzzling her cheek, before pulling away enough to see her eye to eye. They then gave a kiss to the prosthetic eye, when Kyro's eyes were closed, so it got planted on their eyelid. This made Kyro smile, hugging Joey tightly in their arms and giving a sigh of relief.
Riker's chuckle broke up the reunion between the two, with Kyro looking to Riker. "Glad to see you okay. I'm guessing Marc broke something?" With Kyro nodding and point to their ribs, Riker nodded. "Figured so. And that leaves that part one of three, complete." He spoke, opening up the folder and giving a mark to one part of it.

~ Puffballs United, InnerSloth, The Henry Stickmin Collection
~ Day 23 of Stickmintober: Shipping
~~~~~~~~~~
“So, this place is haunted?” Gremlin asked, glancing up at the haunted house ride.
“Yeah, but only after eight,” Ken responded with a nod.
“Why not earlier?” Gremlin asked, moving up in line when the two people ahead got into a car.
“I think just so they don’t scare any kids,” Ken said.
“Oh…yeah,” Gremlin murmured.
“And it wouldn’t be as scary if a bunch of people dressed as ghosts were walking around in broad daylight,” Ken went on. “Even though some visitors were wearing costumes.”
“What?” Gremlin asked. “You mean those weren’t real werewolves and zombies?”
“Well…probably not,” Ken chuckled.
“Isn’t it weird Reg wanted everybody to have time off for Halloween?” Gremlin remarked, folding her arms. “I didn’t think he was into it at all.”
“Me neither,” Ken said with a laugh. “Maybe he had a date.”
“Probably,” Gremlin said.
“Right?” Ken asked.
“Yup,” Gremlin said.
The two got into a car when the line attendant gestured to them. He quickly buckled them in and the car rolled forward.
“You want to stay til it gets dark?” Ken asked as the car headed down into a sloped part of the ride.
“Hmm…yeah, sure,” Gremlin said.
“My parents and I used to come here every Halloween,” Ken said.
The car turned a corner and a pair of headlights blared, causing him to jump and lean into Gremlin.
“Uh…sorry,” Ken mumbled sheepishly, and Gremlin shrugged.
“Two years ago I was the one scared of rides like this,” she said, glowering at the strobe lights overhead that made it look like bats were flying by.
“That was only because you’d never been to a theme park before,” Ken said, grinning and elbowing her lightly in the side. “You wouldn’t have been scared otherwise. You don’t get scared of anything.”
Gremlin looked away, then back with a smirk.
“And I haven’t barked at anything yet,” she said, lightly elbowing Ken back.
The car began to roll past walls painted to look like a graveyard full of bare, moonlit trees.
Gremlin felt Ken shaking slightly and glanced at him.
“I think it’s almost over,” she said, just as a train horn blared loudly. Ken jumped and grabbed Gremlin’s hand.
She looked at him, then glanced back ahead and squeezed his hand once.
The car stopped, and the two unbuckled and hopped out.
“That always gets me,” Ken said, rubbing his arm.
“They wouldn’t have put it in there if they didn’t think it would scare people,” Gremlin said. “But we don’t have to go on anything like it again. How about another roller coaster?”
Ken nodded, brightening.
“Same one as last time?” he asked, and Gremlin nodded.
They made their way towards the double-loop rollercoaster.
“Let’s get something to eat after this,” Gremlin said.
“If we don’t get sick,” Ken said, sliding into a seat near the front of the coaster, Gremlin quickly sitting next to him.
The ride attendee walked briskly past, securing everyone into their seats.
“We won’t,” Gremlin said as the attendee double-checked the seats restraints. “We haven’t even…oh, no…”
“What?” Ken asked, giving her a worried look.
Gremlin nodded at the people in front; Ken looked discreetly to see a person with bright red hair and another with bright red headphones. A third person with short brown hair was sitting between them.
“Let’s get off,” Gremlin hissed quietly.
The roller coaster lurched and began to inch forward.
“Oooh, here we go, you guys!”
“I thought you were scared, Charles.”
“When did I say that, Ellie? I love roller coasters!”
“They’re only a bit crazier than Charles driving.”
“Heh, come on, Henry!”
“What a damn coincidence,” Gremlin sighed as the rollercoaster neared the top.
“It’s okay,” Ken whispered. “Let’s just get off quickly when it stops.”
“First time?” Charles asked cheerfully, looking back. Ken and Gremlin froze. “Don’t worry! It’s always hard the first time, but you’ll love it!”
Gremlin and Ken nodded stiffly, then sank back against the seats when Charles quickly turned around again.
The rollercoaster reached the top, then shot down the track, picking up speed for a bit before hitting the first loop, then the second, and continued along a spiraling track before going up and back to the beginning.
The coaster came to a stop. Ken and Gremlin pushed their safety bars up the instant they unlocked, then ran down the ramp and away from the rollercoaster.
“What the hell are they doing here?” Gremlin huffed after they’d ducked behind a sign. “Were they on a date?”
“Maybe,” Ken sighed.
“Remember that ball game we passed a while ago?” Gremlin asked, tightly crossing her arms. “Let’s go win some masks. I don’t want them getting another look at us.”
“Huh?” Ken asked, but had to jog when Gremlin took his hand and pulled him along. “We could just buy some.”
“They’re too expensive,” Gremlin said. “Don’t worry.”
They stopped at the ball game, and Gremlin paid for two rounds.
“Whenever you’re ready,” the man said, stepping out of the way.
“Yup,” Gremlin said, aiming for a moment before throwing the balls, getting each one in the middle hole.
“Whoa, good job,” the employee said, and Gremlin played the last round, getting another high score.
“You wanna go again?” the employee asked, and Gremlin shook her head.
“Nice work. You’ve got good aim.”
Gremlin turned slowly to see Charles, Ellie and Henry standing there.
“Been wondering where you were,” Ellie said calmly. “Come on, let’s go get something to eat.”
Ken and Gremlin looked at each other, then followed after the three.
“Hey, you forgot your prizes!”
Gremlin waved a hand at the man.
“It’s alright, it was just for fun.”
Once they’d walked a fair distance away, Gremlin glared at the trio.
“What do you want?” she demanded.
“Just to tell you that you don’t have to run,” Charles sighed. “You haven’t done anything, and we’re off-duty. We are going to have to mention we saw you, though.”
“Of course,” Ken muttered.
“It was just a coincidence that we were here too,” Ellie said.
“Fine,” Gremlin hissed. “If that’s all, then goodbye.”
Ken and Gremlin quickly walked off, not looking back.
“Jeez,” Gremlin said. “Finally. Where do you want to go next?”
“You want to stay?” Ken asked.
“I’m not letting them chase us away,” Gremlin huffed.
“Alright,” Ken said. “Where do you want to eat?”
“Let’s stay in the park,” Gremlin said. “Why don’t we wait until it gets haunted?”
“Alright!” Ken said, smiling. “Thanks, Grim.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“That was a lot of fun,” Ellie chimed as they walked out of the walk-through haunted house. “We should do this again next year!”
“Definitely,” Charles agreed brightly, and Henry nodded with a smile. “So, you two ready for dinner?”
Ellie and Henry nodded enthusiastically.
“Me too,” Charles said. “Let’s get going, then!”
Ellie put her arms around Charles and Henry, hugging them tightly.
“I’m paying,” Ellie said.
“No you’re not,” Charles huffed.
“I could pay,” Henry said. “I’d switch your cards out for mine no problem.”
“Don’t you dare!” Ellie and Charles exclaimed, and Ellie ruffled Henry’s hair.
“We’d better go before it gets too crowded,” Charles said.
“I’m gonna pay,” Ellie said, and Charles sighed, while Henry laughed.
“You two are goofs,” Charles said, hugging them close.
“You love us though,” Ellie cooed.
“Well, yeah, I do,” Charles said, grinning. “That was my point. Now we really better get going.”
The three of them strode off, chatting happily along the way.
