20) Mikaela liked to scold him about being too protective of his charge, but Sam never said a word about it.

"Bee, it's an amusement park, you know a place to have fun?" Mikaela stood in front of him, hands on her hips, while Sam sat on a grass patch a little ways away picking apart the plant life.

He shook his head. "It's a dangerous place. There are numerous research reports and case studies detailing ways in which humans can be injured - "

"The odds are really low! Plenty of people have gone plenty of times and came back in one piece! The rides have safety bars and seat belts and a whole host of other safety restrictions. They watch the weather, and if it's too windy or wet the rides close down. I hate it when they do that. But tomorrow's supposed to be sunny with no chance of clouds so you don't have to worry about any of that."

"No, I just have to worry about the rides falling apart because of improper care, out dated parts, unobservant workers, sabotage - "

Mikaela snorted. "Sabotage? Really? Come Bee, that never happens."

"There's a first for everything. And then there is all the other issues with your brains hitting the inside of your skulls, restraints pinching nerves, fainting, nausea, food poisoning and a variety of other possibilities."

"Gah! You're worse than my Gram." Mikaela turned around and sent a pointed glare towards Sam. "Don't you have anything to say? It's you he's preventing from going you know."

Sam looked up from the piece of grass he was trying to turn into a whistle, looked at his girlfriend, continued to look up at his guardian, and then shook his head.

"No, if Bee says no I'm not going to argue."

"Sam!" the girl exclaimed, but the boy had gone back to blowing air over the piece of grass between his thumbs.

"Fine," she stomped over to the Sam and collapsed next to him. "You're being way too protective of him Bee."

He shook his head. "I'm only being logical."

"Well, if you're logical then you can also be fair. If we can't go to the amusement park, we'll go to the zoo instead. You can feed the white alligators they have on tour there." Mikaela started as Sam succeeded in buzzing the piece of grass, the noise sounding like a duck. She sent the teen a glare and Sam curved in on himself sheepishly.

"You can go to the zoo, but you may not feed the gators!"


A/N: Sam's learned that it's better to just listen to Bee, it saves you the time and the money for Advil. Mikeala...will probably never learn. As such, she'll probably win a couple of rounds.

This one's nice and light for you, you'll need it before the next one.
