[Action] Backdated to Mother's day....

[ghostlygames]

A)945 Beulah Street

[Mindy got up early on Mother's day, and her not!family will find somewhat lumpy and slightly overdone pancakes on the table. And there is a handmade card sitting by Fate's plate. It heavily leans on glitter and the color pink to deliver Mindy's mother's day wishes. It's the thought that counts? She sure seems excited.]

Good Morning~! I made breakfast!


B)At the park

[Mindy has been in Mayfield long enough to know that today is the day when she can convince way more people to pay attention to her for some reason. So she might as well take advantage of it.]

Hi! Do you wanna play a game?

[Even without the influence of the town and Mother's Day, Pokey would have a hard time saying no to one of the oldest friends he has in this town. He just smiles at Maddy a little.]

Sure squirt. What do you want to play?

[ghostlygames]

Can we play hide and seek? Except the one hiding is a jewel thief and that other one is a detective!

We can take turns!

[its_decided]

[Nozomi blinked as she was approached by the girl, asking her to play a game. She couldn't help but smile and nod, though.]

Sure! What did you want to play?

A

[thunderace]

[See, the funny thing about Fate... the day Vivio celebrates her other mama? Father's Day. This was usually a day for Nanoha, so when she comes downstairs and spots the food and the card, she... really looks surprised.]

Wow... you did this by yourself?

B

[baptizedinflame]

[Sure the mummy/heavily bandaged man will play with you.]

If you'd like.

[justdumbluck]

Hey there.

[Firo smiles and gives her a little wave.]

Sure. What kinda game have ya got in mind?

[ceasetoexist]

Sure!

I call dibs on being the thief.

[ghostlygames]

Then I'm the detective! You better watch out. The great detective Mindy is on the case!

Re: B

[ghostlygames]

Do you like hopscotch?

Re: A

[ghostlygames]

Yup! I sure did~!

[So proud. fyi, the kitchen is a mess.]

Happy Mother's day!

Re: B

[ghostlygames]

[gazing up at him curiously.]

Gosh, what happened? Were you in an accident?

[thunderace]

[She goes from looking surprised to looking... well. Touched. Really touched. She doesn't care about the mess; all that matters is the wonderful gesture. So before she sits to eat, she walks over to Mindy, and pulls the girl into a hug.]

Thank you, Mindy! This means a lot to me... it really does.

[baptizedinflame]

Not an accident no.

But I wear the bandages for the burns I have.

[ceasetoexist]

Ooooh I'm terrified. You've got no idea how many detectives have tried to catch the fantastic Pokey!

Close your eyes and start counting, squirt.

[ghostlygames]

Okay~

[She covers her eyes and begins counting.]

One.... two.... three.... four..... five..... six.....

[ghostlygames]

How did you get burned? Does it hurt?

[its_decided]

Hopscotch? Wow, I haven't done that in awhile! I wouldn't mind playing that, then!

[ghostlygames]

[Yay, hugs~! She hugs back tightly, and then whispers softly.]

It's 'cause you've been a real good Mom. And..... I'm glad 'cause I know a lot of kids get moms that are mean or scary or yell a lot. I'm real lucky that you're my mom.

Re: B

[ghostlygames]

Do you know how to do Cat's Cradle?

[ghostlygames]

Great! I'll draw the board!

[She pulls a piece of chalk out of her pocket and starts drawing on one of the paths. It's a standard hopscotch board.]

Do you wanna go first, or should I?

[its_decided]

Oh, I can't go first - it was your idea! You go first!

[baptizedinflame]

I was set on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon.

And yes. But it's something you get used too.

[ceasetoexist]

[And Pokey will smirk for a bit before finding one of the taller and more overgrown trees and begin to scamper up it. He may not be the fastest person in the damn world, but he's pretty good at climbing trees thanks to how much he'd do it to get away from his parents when he was younger.

He'll be doing the best he can to hide himself up in one by the time Mindy is done counting.]

[thunderace]

[Fate actually blushes at that.]

Hearing that you're so happy... that's all I really want, so that makes me happy as well.

[It's true. She expects no personal gain when working with children; seeing their happy smiles is reward enough.]

Park

[splashpuppy]

[It doesn't really take Mother's Day for that]

Of course!
