    Leaving the house never looked so appealing before.  Salome was tired and aching, and everyone was on edge from what happened the night before.  Not to mention the constant stream of phone calls and attempts at the press to get an interview or a photo.  She couldn't leave the state, especially with Jonba so going upstate with Bobby was a good, safe idea.

Picking up the blond boy from the floor, she grunted a little bit at his weight against her side and arms.  He grumbled a little bit, but she gave him a look before handing him his Elmo doll and took him back upstairs to her bed room.  Stepping inside she smiled at Hiro as the boy hid his face against her neck.

    "Don't be shy, it's Hiro, he's going to take us on a trip."

Hiro understands how shy little children can get around people they don't know, so he gives him a big smile. "Hello, Jonba," he says. "I am Hiro." He bows a little. "Your sister says you are a brave boy. All you need to do is hold on to her tight and we will go." He picks up her luggage and takes Salome's hand.

"Are you ready?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

The little boy thinks it is just the coolest thing that Hiro bows and so he lifted his head and beamed at him. Looking back at his sister, he held on to her tightly, enough to make her wince, and tug at his arms a little bit. When he relaxed his grip, she took Hiro's hand and nodded.

"Yes, I am ready. Are you sure you have everything? Do you need me to take anything?"

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"If you think you need anything, you should get it now. We can come back if you need to, but I am not sure you will want to come back so soon."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Closing her eyes, she went through the mental checklist before resting her head against Jonba's head. "No, I have everything, if not I can buy it there. Everything will be fine."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Ok, let's go!" Hiro concentrates and they are standing in a hotel room in Westchester. Hiro puts Jonba's bag on the bed and places her luggage at the foot of it.

"I hope this is the right room. Do you know the number?" Hiro goes to the door to see what the number is.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Salome was more use to the travel then poor Jonba. He looked around, confused as all get out, as Salome's room fell away and a new room appeared. Whimpering, Salome kissed and comforted him as she sat him down on the bed.

"The room is 546, is it?" Grabbing her hair, she put it up on a pony tail as she started to unpack, to get things organized.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hiro looks at the number on the door. "Yes, it is." He breathes a sigh of relief, until he sees how scared Jonba is.

"I am sorry, Jonba. Are you ok?"

OOC: And that's it for me right now. Ded bodee.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

The little boy looked up, still clutching at the Elmo doll, when he looked to see what Salome was doing he finally crawled over to Hiro. Nodding he raised his arms up to be picked up. "Jonba, up!"

Salome glanced over and grinned a bit. "He wants you to pick him up, you don't have to, if you don't want to."


ooc: okay! Sleep well!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hiro picks him up, then picks up the Elmo doll. "Will you introduce me to your friend?" He's glad that Jonba isn't scared, just startled.

"Your friend Bobby will be coming? Or did he just reserve this room for you?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Jonba looked at Hiro, studying the new man very carefully and then looked at the Elmo doll. "Elmo! Jonba's Elmo!" Reaching out with a chubby hand he patted Elmo on the head.

"You know, I don't know, maybe he has the room next door." Standing up, she winced a little before smiling at the two of them. "I'm not sure how thrilled he would be with sharing a room with us."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"You are right! It is Elmo! Hello, Elmo." He sits Jonba on his hip and bounces him a couple of times before he turns to Salome.

"Are you ok? Are you hurt?" He looks very concerned. He really is wondering if her father has struck her, which he considers completely abhorrent.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Elmo!" Jonba giggled at the bounces, as he continued to grab for the doll. What fun, someone he can play with! Grabbing Hiro's shirt, he tries to stand in order to explore his interesting new playmate.

"I'll live." It's true, she will, but it doesn't answer the question. The last thing she wants is Hiro to worry about her, or to start asking questions. "I am going to call back home, I'll be right back." She grabbed her cell phone and purse before heading into the bathroom. As she called Ian, she took two aspirin and explained that they were well and that she would keep in touch. Washing her face, she took a deep breath and headed back to the main room.

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

"What I'm really talking about what?" He watched as Jonba and Hiro played together. A sister taking over a company didn't sound too weird, but hey. It wasn't Bobbby's family.

"Well as long as you like what you're doing, right?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"About you being in strange situations," she replied and then watched as Jonba took the Elmo (which he had tried to stuff in his mouth) and moved over to Bobby. Looking up at him, he raised the rather damp doll to him. "Elmo."

Shaking her head, she suddenly turned back to Hiro with a frown. "I didn't know you were a programmer."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"I am Japanese. It is quite unusual for a woman to run a major company. As the son, I would be expected to run it after my father's death, but Kimiko is a far better executive than I."

Hiro stands, smiling at her. "Yes, I am. I am sorry, is it a problem?"

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

He smiled down at Jonba. "Yeah man. That's Elmo. He's pretty cool for a muppet, but he's no Grover." He grinned before looking over to Salome. "I'll tell you when you're old enough to get me drunk."

Bobby nodded at Hiro. "I dated a Japanese woman for awhile. I had a feeling that's why it'd be strange."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Grover?" What's this non-sense? Either the man thought that Elmo was Grover, or that Grover was better then Elmo. This act of aggression would not stand. "NO! Elmo!" Jonba, serious business.

Salome rolled her eyes and gave him a look. "One day, you won't be able to use that excuse."

"No, it's not a bad thing, I was just surprised. I don't know why I didn't ask you what you did before." Smiling, she patted the bed next to her.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"You would be quite correct," Hiro said to Bobby. "However, my sister is beginning to win over a number of the executives. She is very good at what she does."

He looks at Jonba and smirks, "Now you have done it."

Hiro sits down on the bed. "However, right now, my job is rather strange. I report to my old job, but I am constantly dragged into the bigger meetings. My boss does not know whether he should be bowing to me or yelling at me."

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

"Even Japan has to change sometime, right?" Bobby smiled at Hiro before turning his attention back to JOnba. "Yeah, Elmo's okay, but you've obviously never seen Super Grover."

"I've got a few more years left," he answered Salome, still looking at the boy. "So hah!"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Don't remind me," she grumped, putting her arms on her knees as she lent forward to watch the boy. "Age isn't anything but a number anyway," it was mostly said to herself.

Jonba, was not impressed. Of course he knew what Super Grover was, blue furry freak, and he would be damned if his Elmo would be pushed around by that chump. Of course, being two it was hard to find the words to express that. "Elmo! Jonba's Elmo! No 'rover." To show that he was serious he was waving the doll around wildly.

"So do they yell and bow at the same time?" She grinned over at Hiro. "Maybe they are just trying to find a place for you."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"That is very true. Age does not really tell one how mature or immature a person is." He knows this well.

Hiro smiles indulgently at Jonba. He remembers such arguements with his sister.

Hiro snickers at the image of his boss bowing and yelling. It would certainly be extremely silly. "My sister is trying to see where I fit best in the new order. She would not cut me out completely, but she will not settle for putting somewhere out of her way if she can use me somewhere."

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

"No, but it's a pretty good indicator most of the time. It's not like age means nothing at all."

Bobby smiled and took the nodded at Jonba. "You're right, man. Elmo. You got it." Leaning down he scooped the boy, doll and all, up into his arms before standing. "I think we're going to go check out the pool. See you guys in a bit?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"I like Hiro's answer a lot better then yours." Salome informed him with a grin as he scooped the boy up. Much like Salome, he seemed to forget about the argument when he was picked up and grinned at Bobby. "Jonba, 'ool?" He sounded very pleased at that.

"Okay, you two have fun at the pool, and Bobby don't let Jonba push you in." Winking at him she waved by to Jonba as they moved to the door.

"Why don't you just tell her where you want to go? I mean, what you want to do." She corrected herself.

And Hiro shows up here (http://sweetsalome.livejournal.com/13259.html?thread=477131#t477131)

Hiro finds Bobby at the pool

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hiro appears in an area where no one is sitting or standing and begins immediately looking for Bobby and Jonba. Once he spots them, he heads over to them.

"Bobby? Salome wishes me to rent a movie. It is one I think Jonba might also wish to see. But she is sleeping right now. I think she is exhausted. I thought it would be best if I got it while she slept."
