Letter to the universe.

[sweetsalome]

    To whom it may concern,

            I respectfully refuse this as monday morning.  I don't like it, and I don't want it, please take it back and give it to me in a couple of days.  Whoever thought, that was a long enough weekend is clearly on something, and I don't like it.  Please don't make me go to school.

I hate you mondays.  Sooooo hard.

Salome.

Jonba flaps his arms wildly because he wants to get down and go play, but still obediently grins to show off his pearly white teeth. "Oh very nice, you two have done very well."

He puts Jonba down. "We will be going soon." he tells him. "I hope I did a good job," he tells Salome. "I have never brushed a child's teeth before."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Jonba takes off running, slams into Salome's legs and then bounces away. "Well you know they are just going to fall out anyway, so if you do a bad job then who cares?" Grinning, she steals a kiss before taking his hand and motioning for them to go downstairs.

"Oh, that is right. They are baby teeth." He feels rather stupid about that. He puts his arm around her waist as they head down the stairs.

The limo is waiting outside when they get down to the main floor. "Should we tell Gretchen where we are going? So she does not worry?"

"Hiro, darling, I love you and I never, ever want you to change." Smiling she kisses his mouth and then looks deep into his eyes - happy to be able to maintain eye contact with him. Finally, she pulls away and takes a step backward.

"Get the boy, and I'll tell grandma that we are going."

He takes her face in his hands and kisses her back. "I will stay exactly as I am today." He squeezes her hand as she goes to talk to Gretchen.

"Cookie Monster, where are you?" he singsongs. He knows approximately which direction Jonba headed, but he didn't see where he ended up.

Salome goes and searches for her grandmother to tell her what they are planning on doing, smiling broadly.

Jonba is on the front porch, playing with his trucks, when he hears Hiro he giggles and gets up ducking behind a flower pot to hide from the older man. He peeks over the tops of daisies to watch out for Hiro.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," Hiro says, looking around. He sees he trucks, but no Jonba. "Are you hiding, Cookie Monster? I will fiiiind youuuuuuu."

The driver snickers a bit. He can see Jonba and Hiro and he thinks it's all very silly. He has kids of his own.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

As soon as Hiro gets close enough, Jonba jumps out and growls his tiny fingers out. "Rawr! otousan!"

He wraps his arms around Hiro's leg and giggles madly.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hiro jumps back a little when Jonba jumps out. "You scared me, Cookie Monster! You came out of nowhere!" He starts walking around with Jonba attached to his leg. "Oh no, I have been caught by a Cookie Monster! He is going to gnaw off my leg!"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"He's never going to let you go, you know." Salome steps out on to the porch, grinning at the two of them. Jonba continues to laugh and hold on to Hiro's leg, he jumps off when he sees Salome and rushes to hug her quickly. She scoops him up. "Ready to go, darling?"

He smiles and makes a bow towards the limo. "Our carriage awaits, m'lady." The driver smiles and opens the door of the limo for them. It has a DVD player in case Jonba wants to watch anything while they go. Hiro knows that most kids don't like long car trips after they've explored the interiors.

There are a couple of blankets on the seat. One of them is obviously for Jonba as it's smaller and has pictures of Elmo on it. The other is multicolored and more than big enough for both of them. "It is sort of chilly tonight," he says.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Jonba climbs in because, hey, he's a kid and kids love to climb over everything and this is just another chance to climb around and break himself! He makes a bee line for the Elmo blanket and shows it to Salome and then Hiro as soon as they climb into the car.

She crosses her legs and holds Jonba as he points out the picture to Hiro, pointing to the muppet. "Elmo, Jonba love Elmo. otousan like Elmo?"

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Otosan likes Elmo, too. That is why I got his blanket for you." He takes the big blanket and throws it across all of them He thumbs the intercom and tells the driver to take them to IHOP.

The big limo heads into the night. The inside is warm and comfy.

"Do either of you want something to drink?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"No thank you, Hiro." Jonba laughs and climbs out from under the blanket before grabbing it and throwing it over Hiro and jumping on him. Salome's job is to make sure he doesn't fall and crack his head open.

The little boy just seems to love flinging himself at the older man and a few times Salome has to catch him and whisper in his ear until he settles down.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hiro laughs as Jonba throws the blanket at him, then catches him. "I have a Cookie Monster! My Cookie Monster!" He squishes the boy before he gives him over to Salome.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Oooh if he's yours, you can have him!" She laughs before playfully tossing him at Hiro. It's not very far, just on to his lap, but Jonba seems to like it a lot, he laughs hard.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Mine, mine, I am going to eat him up!" He makes like he's gnawing on Jonba's head. "Nom nom nom."
