Will sat, stirring her lumpy vegetable soup. 'Was that a mobile!' She spooned up the tiny electronic device and looked at it with disbelief. 'How..?' "Mom, did you get a phone call while you made this soup?"

"How'd you-" Susan Vandom looked to her daughter, currently holding up a spoon with her mobile balance on the end, covered in the thick orangey liquid. She picked the phone off the spoon and Will continued mixing the soup experimentally. "Honey.. What would you think if.. I.. Started dating..?"

Will finally pushed away the bowl, without having even bothered to taste it, and made a face. "Well, uh.. If you meet a nice guy, I wouldn't feed him home cooked meals right away.. Or ever."

...

"I have adopted a human identity in the Earth town." Cedric bowed down. Despite the greenery making the air cleaner in this room, Cedric's natural reflex of being in here was of gagging. But, the Lord knew, Phobos found it empowering to breathe such thin, fresh cool air.[0]

"The search for her will become much more simple now. When they write of our history, hers will be of a short, but eventful chapter. You must return."

Will walked to the door as the bell rang out. She opened it and nearly slammed it back. "Professor Collins? Whatever you're hear to tell my mom, I'd appreciate at least fifteen minutes to think of an excuse, I mean my excuse, I mean-"

Dean Collins only laughed at the babbling girl. She had already made quite an impression on him. "Dean! Hi!"

Will's jaw dropped as her mother smiled flirtily at her teacher. This was just.. "Gag-a-rific." Will's hand shot to her mouth. She hadn't meant to say that out loud.[1]

"Your mother joined the PTA, but she, eh, missed the last two meetings." Will made a loud fake cough, but the pair were zoned on to one another.

Will watched her mother take the professor's arm and guide him toward the sitting room, "I asked Dean to bring me the material. Why don't we talk in here?" The pair then walked off, awfully closely, out of Will's vision. 'Dating'.

Will then gave into her previous urge to slam the door.

Cornelia Hale changed the setting of her alarm to six a.m. as her little sister Lillian walked in, shaking a pink box. "Mom says you've gotta play wobbly wobbly walrus with me!"

"Beat it shrimp. I'm going to bed early. And if you do anything to ruin my sleep, I will personally drop-kick you into the wolf pit at the zoo." Cornelia climbed into her bed, slamming the alarm clock down on the bedside table.

"YOU'RE MEAN!" Lillian stomped her foot and pouted.

"Then just wait until you meet the wolves."

[1] Doesn't everone hear something they think is stupid and end up saying it themselves? I for one, say LOL. (though at least I generally say it ironically at something that is not funny. :L)
