You know that the day will not start off well when your son asks for potassium nitrate and a fuse. WHAT!? No way. He settled for party snaps and champagne poppers. I hate April Fools.

Alena098 and Guest: Это первый раз, когда я получил комментарий на русском языке. Спасибо. Я использую Google Translate, так что я надеюсь, что это имеет смысл. Я преподаю в школе со многими студентами русским языком. К сожалению, они только научил меня плохие слова на русском языке.

Updown1234: Glad you liked this.

Catharina: Hi again! Good to hear from you.

X: As usual, it is pleasure to hear from you.

I don't own nada.

"Holiday, have you seen Rex?"

"He went to see the farm left to him in a will."

...

"Six? You okay?"

"I thought you said someone left Rex a farm."

"I did. He's taking Noah and some friends down to Argentina to take a look."

"What are you looking for?

"Hidden cameras."

"Stop being silly.

"I was being serious. What is Rex going to do with a farm? Is Caesar there too? You just let him go? And with Noah and friends? Why are they going?"

"Wow, I think that's the longest thing you've ever said to me all week."

"Holiday…"

"Okay, don't have a conniption. Things have been quiet so I said he can run down and check out the farm that's been left to him and Caesar. But Caesar isn't going down, so relax. I thought Rex could use a break after everything that's happen. Noah's pretty responsible so… there's nothing to worry about."

"Who's the other friends?"

"I think Annie and Claire."

"Wait… you let girls go with him?"

"Oh Six, relax. I already had a long talk to Rex about responsible behavior."

"And you think he'd listen to you?"

"He better... if he knows what's good for him."

"I see."

"So what do you need Rex for?"

"We needed to have a talk about responsible behavior."

"Are you kidding, Six?"

"He destroyed half a museum trying to subdue an EVO."

"Well, I hope they have insurance."

"They do, but Rex needs to be more careful when he is on these missions. We don't have Providence's budget to take care of damages incurred."

"I'm sure you'll find a way to get him to be more careful."

"That's what I was hoping to talk to him about now."

"And by talking, I'm sure you mean training."

"Of course."

"Of course."

"…So… Holiday, are you planning on doing anything while Rex is gone?"

"Hmm? What? Oh, I guess I was thinking of upgrading the security system since Scarecrow has compromised it. Then I need to make sure the back up generators are working at optimum power... I was going to check on those numbers from the experiments..."

"No, I meant are you going to do anything... interesting while Rex is gone?"

"I... I... Don't know what you mean, Six."

"Well, since Rex and White are not around again and lord knows where the monkey went... I was thinking that maybe we could... do something... together."

"Oh... uh... well... I... I'm sort of busy right now. I have tons of work to do... You never know when Black Knight could attack."

"True... but then why did you let Rex go?"

"...Well... because... Rex needs some... time off."

"And you don't?"

"I'll relax when Black Knight's been neutralized, Six."

"That could be years... I don't think this is about Black Knight..."

"So now you're a mind reader?"

"No need to get defensive, Holiday. If you want space, I'll give you space."

"... Wait, where are you going?"

"I know when I'm not wanted..."

"No, Six, it's not that... I was... it's just that... I just..."

"It's okay, Holiday. I know you're still... sensitive. I don't want to make this any harder for you. I have things to do too."

"... Six!"

"Yes."

"I... We can have dinner later."

"We do that anyway... unless you were planning on eating alone again."

"That was just that one time, Six!"

"It was more than once."

"So what? You're keeping tabs on me now?"

"No, but I do recognize patterns."

"Well, you're mistaken."

"Am I, Holiday?"

"Yes."

"Then dinner later?"

"Fine."

"Go out or take out?"

"Whatever. I'm not very hungry."

"Chinese take-out again?"

"Sure, Six."

"I'll call you when it's here."

"Great."

"Later then, Holiday."

"Later."

They haven't had a fight in a while. I'm sure Holiday's still reeling from the Scarecrow incident even with Six's reassurances in the last chapter. I think her insecurities would get the better of her. Notice the reversal of roles. Holiday pulling away and Six trying to pursue her... What do you think?
