Some drabbles based on the characters of my previous fanfic " They Paved Paradise and Put up a Parkin' Lot". Most of them will be about the future, some others will show small glimpses of the future. Hope you enjoy!

Mark and Hugh will be right behind you opening up for Perce and I. William and the triplets are going to stand right in front of Marlin, and if anyone touches my little brother, you're going to answer to me. Is that clear team?-

-Shouldn't have done that!- Arthur chased the other boy and caught him right before joining the rest of the team.

-Fine, fine, you got me. Now, come on, clothpole, let's go kick butts!-
