"So what exactly happens at Aunt Delia's that ya can't tell your mom?" Mackenzie had the leash in her hand while they stood in the park playing with the dog.
"Lots of things. She let me have ice cream for breakfast this morning," Misty looked over at her girlfriend with raised eyebrows and the woman just shrugged at her, "She bought me the DS my mom wouldn't let me have."
"So ya spoil her?" Cordelia shook her head.
"It was almost her birthday anyway," Misty just laughed and shook her head.
"Aunt Delia said I could get a puppy and keep it at her house since mommy won't let me have one."
Cordelia caught Misty's questioning gaze, "I was going to adopt a puppy at one point anyway and figured I'd let her name it?" Misty nodded and looked back to the girl.
"Why's he named Nicks? Is it like Stevie?" Misty looked down in shock.
"Ya know who Stevie Nicks is?" The girl looked up at her like she was crazy before looking back to Nicks.
"I mean, we have dinner with her like once a month," Misty nodded.
"Active imagination," Cordelia bit her lip and grabbed Misty's hand to get her attention.
"She's not that imaginative," Misty furrowed her eyebrows, "She's kind of an old family friend. She stops by when she's in town," Misty laughed.
"Yeah, okay," Cordelia glared at her.
"I'm not lying."
"I don't believe ya, darlin'," Cordelia smirked before pulling her phone out and clicking a few things before putting it to her ear.
"Hey, Stevie... Everything's fine... Yeah, Max is here," The girl looked up and grinned, "She says hey... I'm seeing someone actually. She may be your biggest fan... Yes, Aunt Stephanie I'm being safe," Cordelia rolled her eyes, "Anyway, she doesn't believe Max and I.. Will you talk to her for a minute?" Cordelia held the phone out to Misty who rolled her eyes and took the phone from her girlfriend.
"Okay, I'm not that big of an idiot," Her eyes widened a moment later and Cordelia laughed beside her, "Holy crap," She spoke for a few more minutes before hanging up and looking at her girlfriend, "Ya are so sneaky."
"Yeah, I know. Max, what do you want for lunch?" Cordelia turned to face Misty, "It's a Max-choice day. You may want to run for the hills."
"Cotton candy and French fries."
oooOOooOOooo
They had ended up at the mall in the food court. The three of them were sat around a small table with cotton candy and a few containers of French fries between them.
"Aunt Delia?"
"Yes, Max?" Misty watched the encounter and laughed when Cordelia threw a fry at the girl.
"Can we go to that place we went to last time?" Cordelia bit her lip.
"I think the black light thing is only on certain days. I'll take you skating though," The girl nodded, "Yeah, we can do that," She turned to her girlfriend, "Do you skate?"
"Umm, yeah. But I don't wanna intrude," Mackenzie let out a sigh.
"You have to come," Misty looked over at her.
"Why?"
"Because, Aunt Delia had to stay in the kiddie rink with me last time and now she won't," Misty giggled.
"I guess that's sound logic."
oooOOooOOooo
They'd made their way to the skating rink and got their skates. Mackenzie had run into one of her friends and they were giggling away in the smaller rink to the side. Cordelia looked up when Misty held her hand out and took it as she stood up.
Misty led her out into the rink and the two of them glided softly together. Misty laced their fingers together as she pulled her girlfriend along, "She's adorable."
"I know. I keep telling Zoe that I'm not letting her have her back every time I keep her," Misty giggled and turned so she was moving backwards to look at her girlfriend, "Show off."
"I just like lookin' at your face," Cordelia grinned at her and squeezed her hand, "By the way, Max-choice days are amazin'. I want cotton candy and fries for lunch everyday."
"I'm in a relationship with a child," Misty giggled and pulled Cordelia into a turn, "Okay, show off. Let's see what you've got," With that, Cordelia let go of Misty's hand and skated away from her. She heard her girlfriend laugh before she started chasing her around the rink.
Cordelia felt arms come around her waist from behind and slowed so she could roll gently while being held by her girlfriend, "I love you."
"I love ya, sweetheart. More than anythin' else in the world," Cordelia smiled and leaned back against Misty. She looked up when she heard a little squeak.
"Uh oh," Misty let go of Cordelia when she moved forward quickly and looked over to see Mackenzie on the ground on the verge of tears. She trailed after her, "Hey, Max. You're okay," The girl held her arms up and Cordelia lifted her, "What happened?"
"I fell," Cordelia nodded.
"Yeah, I see that," Mackenzie shrugged.
"It hurts, Aunt Delia," Cordelia nodded and rolled over to place the girl down on a table so she could sit in front of her. Misty took a seat beside her on the bench of the table.
"What hurts?" The girl pointed to her knee and Cordelia looked hard at it for a moment, "We've got to cut it off. That's the only way to save it," The girl giggled down at her, "I'm completely serious. You're going to have a leg with no knee," The girl laughed again and shook her head, "Uh huh."
"Am not."
"Are too," Misty giggled at the interaction and Cordelia turned to look at her, "Tell her, Mist. The knee's got to go," Misty bit her lip and looked down at the girl's knee.
"I think she's right," The girl laughed at the both of them before just rolling her eyes at her aunt and getting down off of the table.
"Hey! You can't go anywhere. We have to cut that off," The girl just giggled as she made her way back to her friends. Cordelia looked over at Misty who was smiling widely at her, "What?"
"You're just damn adorable and I love ya."
