Where is that darn bell? Olivia thought to herself. It was Friday afternoon, she was sitting outside the middle school waiting for Calvin, and the bell was two minutes late. Two whole minutes, some people have plans tonight. She stopped herself and laughed, I'm so anxious for tonight I'm mentally getting mad at a bell. She made herself take a deep breath. The bell started ringing. Thank you, she thought, smiling to herself. She spotted Marcus leaving the building and heading towards the Employee's parking lot. He spotted her sitting in her car and waved. She waved back. The passenger door opened and she jumped before relaxing.

"What has you so strung up?" Her favorite eleven, soon to be twelve, year old asked.

She started the car and pulled away from the pickup lane, "Oh, nothing."

Calvin looked over in the direction she was staring in before getting in the car. He saw Mr. Wright pulling out in front of them. "Oh," He grinned at Olivia.

"Shut it, punk," She muttered to him playfully.

"Please keep your lovey dovey eyes to a minimum tonight," He said with a smirk.

"What?"

"And no making out in the theater, there could be children in the theater."

"Calvin."

His smirk grew bigger, "Don't play footsie and whisper things into each other's ears once the lights go down."

Olivia just groaned, choosing not to respond anymore, it only made things worse. She pulled into the theater and parked next to Marcus' car.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Calvin slowly got out of the car and walked over to where Olivia and Mr. Wright were talking. He stood next to Olivia and stared at his principal quietly. "Hey, Calvin," Mr. Wright said to him warmly.

"Hi, Mr. Wright," Calvin said courteously.

"You can call me Marcus, Calvin, it's alright."

Calvin nodded, "Okay."

An awkward silence followed. "Should we head towards the theater?" Olivia offered.

Marcus nodded, stuffing his hands in his pockets before falling into place besides Olivia. Olivia grabbed Calvin's arm and pulled him along with a smile.

"Olivia, I know how to walk," Calvin told her, pulling his arm out of her grasp, but keeping it linked with hers.

"Oh I know, I would be highly worried if you didn't." She studied the movies that were playing tonight once they reached the ticket booth. "Your birthday is in a month after all."

Marcus looked over to Calvin with a smile, "Really? How old will you be?"

"Twelve," Calvin responded proudly.

"Twelve?" Marcus whistled. "Wow, that's how old I was when my pop took me to my first baseball game."

Calvin looked at the ground, "That's cool. I've never been to one."

"I'll have to take you sometime; you think you'd like that?"

Calvin's head jerked up and his eyes were sparkling, "Really? That'd be so cool."

"Of course, Olivia can even come along." Marcus responded with a glance at Olivia.

Olivia opened her mouth to answer when Calvin cut in, "Olivia doesn't like baseball. She leaves the room whenever I watch it on TV."

Marcus laughed, "That's alright. You and I can go sometime then, if your mom's okay with that."

Calvin looked up at Olivia with hopeful eyes. "We'll talk about it later, Cal. Let's decide what movie we're going to see."

Calvin looked up at the choices, "Can we please see Captain America? Please?" He begged.

Olivia glanced at Marcus, "Is that okay with you?"

Calvin looked to his principal with puppy dog eyes.

The man laughed, "Who can say no to that face? I'd love to see Captain America."

Calvin grinned triumphantly, "Yes!"

Olivia turned back to the showings and saw that once started in twenty minutes. She walked up to the booth, "Two adults and one child for the four fifteen showing of Captain America." She pulled out her wallet when Marcus softly grabbed her arm and moved her out of the way. "What are you doing?" She asked suspiciously.

"Not letting you pay," He responded casually, sliding the cashier the money under the glass.

Olivia gave him an exasperated look. "You didn't have to do that."

"I know, but I wanted to." He smiled at her warmly. "I'm paying for food and drinks too."

"You don't-"Olivia started.

"I want to, Olivia."

"Let the man do what he wants, mom," Calvin said with a laugh.

"You are outnumbered," Marcus said with a playful grin.

"Boys rule girls drool!" Calvin said, sticking out his tongue at her.

Olivia took the tickets from the cashier, rolling her eyes, and walked towards the door with the guys following her. Marcus grabbed the door for them.

Calvin rushed ahead of Olivia through the door. She reached out and pinched him lightly.

"Ow," He complained. "What was that for?"

"Sticking your tongue out at me," She said with a smile.

Calvin grabbed her arm and started pulled her towards the theater once Marcus joined them again, "Come on, I want good seats!"

Olivia pulled her arm out his grasp, "Hang on, we have to get snacks."

"All the good seats will be gone by the time we get there!"

Marcus intervened, "How about, Olivia can go save seats and Calvin and I can get food?"

Olivia looked at Calvin.

He shrugged, "Okay."

Olivia handed Calvin two tickets, "Don't lose those."

"I won't. What do you want?"

"Just a coke," Olivia told them.

"Are you sure?" Marcus asked. "You can get more…"

"I'm sure," She insisted.

"Okay, come on Calvin."

Olivia walked towards the theaters, when she was a few feet away she heard Marcus ask Calvin, "What does she normally get?"

"A hot dog and M&M's," He responded.

"Okay, we'll get her that then."

Olivia huffed but kept on walking. She handed her ticket to the worker and headed towards theater thirteen. She walked down the hallway and entered the room. There was no one in the theater yet. She walked to about the middle of the rows of seats and sat in one. It was a few minutes before she saw Marcus and Calvin walking in, both of Marcus' hands full of drinks and a hot dog, while Calvin balanced two hotdogs on his good arm. When they came within earshot she heard Calvin say to Marcus, "I'm really sorry!"

Marcus looked back at Calvin, "It's okay, buddy, really."

Olivia looked at Calvin, "What happened?"

Calvin looked embarrassed, "Well…"

Olivia then noticed the yellow spot on Marcus' white dress shirt. "Calvin…"

"Hey, it was an accident, no big deal. It will come out in the washer," Marcus assured her.

Calvin walked down the row of seats and sat on the third one from the aisle. He looked at Olivia expectantly. Olivia took her drink and hot dog that Marcus offered her before sitting besides Calvin, Marcus sat to her right. He handed Calvin a drink.

"Marcus told me Abby, his dog, knows how to do all sorts of tricks," Calvin told her, taking a bite of his ketchup covered hot dog.

"Oh really? Like what?"

"Sit, down, speak, around, crawl, bow, and…" He leaned forward and looked at Marcus for support.

"Hi," He supplied. "You put your hand up and she puts her hand on yours. It's like a high five."

"Ah, very cool," Olivia told him.

He grinned at her and leaned over to say something to Calvin when the lights started to dim. He leaned back into his seat and moved his eyes toward the screen.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The movie ended exactly two hours and four minutes later and Calvin was walking backwards towards the car, facing Marcus, in conversation with him about the movie. "You remember that part when Peggy shot the gun at Steve's shield to see if it worked? That was funny."

"It was!" Marcus agreed enthusiastically. "Or when Steve jumped on the grenade, that was my favorite part."

"That was very cool," Olivia added.

The trio arrived at their cars. "That was a lot of fun," Marcus said, looking between the two. "Thanks for letting me tag along."

"No problem," Calvin said with a grin. "You should come next week too! I won't accidently squirt mustard onto your shirt then."

Marcus laughed and held out his hand to Calvin. Calvin high-fived his hand and headed towards the car. Marcus watched him walked off for a second then turned to Olivia.

"Thanks for coming," She told him softly.

"I had a lot of fun. Calvin's a great kid."

"He is."

"Funny as anything, he had a talk with me while we were getting the food."

Olivia's eyes widened, "Oh no. What did he say?"

Marcus' eyes sparkled, "He told me that as long as you were happy, he was happy with me coming back around. But that if I ever hurt you, he would tell your detective friends and that they would come hunt me down."

Olivia groaned and dragged her hand over her face, "Sorry about that."

"No, it's fine. I told my sister's boyfriend's roughly the same thing every time they went out. I'm glad he approves."

Olivia smiled over at Calvin who had his back to them, "Me too. Well, we better get going."

"Same here," He stared at her for a second with a smile. Her eyes flickered over to Calvin and back.

"Right," He said with a laugh. He reached down and squeezed her hand. "Until next time."

"Bye," She told him with a smile before walking over and getting into her car. She and Calvin waved to him as he drove off.

"I approve," Calvin told her as they exited the parking lot.

"You do?"

"Mhm. You can get married now."

Olivia laughed.
