I own nothing. Thank you for the comments.
May pulled into a shopping center that yes Coulson it does have a Walmart.
"Okay do what you need to do and meet back here in 45 minutes." says Coulson heading off towards the Walmart.
May heads off to a Subway while the others hang back deciding on where to go.
"Guys wait, we need a plan." says Skye
"Plan?" asks Mack
"May avoided the question and Coulson changed the subject when we asked how Mama May knows Dr. Garner." says Simmons
"Mama May?" asks Fitz
"Really Skye, Mama May." says Hunter
"What. Its catchy." shrugs Skye
"I can give it a try. You and Simmons can ride with the boys on the second leg. I update you if possible." says Bobbi
Both Skye and Simmons nod and the pair of them along with Fitz walk into the Walmart.
"You're really gonna do it." says Hunter
"Eh, no harm no foul. Its all in good fun."
"May's right. We aren't old enough." says Mack shaking his head walking towards the McDonalds with both Bobbi and Hunter in tow.
"You want to do what Fitz?" asks Simmons walking through the aisles.
"We should bring something to the dinner because its um..." says Fitz trying to find the word
"Customary. So what did you have in mind."
"What are you getting her?" asks Skye when she catches up with Coulson.
"Which her? You're getting better at sneaking up on people." he says not looking at her.
"Learned from the best. Either one."
"No idea. Any thoughts."
"You know them both better than I do. I probably could help with May's gift but otherwise I've got no idea."
"Well l know Mrs. May enjoys gardening. Maybe I'll buy her some flowers. I'll just text May and see which ones are her favorite."
"Does May not want to have dinner with her mother or something? She just seemed upset about the whole thing."
"Its not that. I think it more of the fact that we're all coming along with her. May's a private person you know that and all of you guys meeting her mother is a lot to take in."
"Is May afraid that we'll hear embarrassing stories about her childhood or something."
"Not in the least." says May sneaking up on the pair of them
"Good God woman are you trying to kill us. Maybe you should buy this one some squeaky shoes." says Skye jumping around to face a smirking May
"I did that once. Didn't help one bit. What kind of flowers does your mother like?" asks Coulson
"Flowers. Your trying to make it up to her with flowers? She's really not that angry about it."
"Well I can't just apologize can I. I should at least do something."
Before May can respond, they run into FitzSimmons who are both holding items.
"Oh there you are sir. Can we borrow thirty dollars?" asks Simmons
"For what?"
"Oh nothing just a thank you present for Mrs. May for having us for dinner."
Coulson says nothing as May hands them her credit card.
"Oh so they can get your Mom something but I can't." says Coulson walking away from them
"If you want to get her something go ahead. I'm not stopping you." says May walking after him not before handing Skye a folded piece of paper.
"So what are you guys buying then?" asks Skye as she starts to unfold the paper
Back at the cars Bobbi, Hunter, and Mack watch the others exiting Walmart. Both Fitz and Simmons carry a couple bags, Skye eating some candy and looking at a sheet of paper, and Coulson carrying a giant vase that seemed to contain a forest of flowers.
"Buy out the whole store sir?" asks Mack
"Just about." Coulson replies smiling as he struggles to open the back door of the car. He looks towards May who rolls her eyes before helping him and then gets into the drivers seat.
"Okay, is anyone else other than Simmons going to change seats?" asks Coulson as he closes the door.
"Quite a few." says Skye walking towards the other car with both Fitz and Simmons.
"You're gonna have to sit in the back sir." says Bobbi from the front seat.
"What are you guys doing back there?" asks Hunter from the drivers seat
"Making something for Mrs. May." says Simmons
"Why?"
"She didn't have to make dinner for us." says Fitz
"Hand me the screwdriver Skye."
"Sure just give me a minute, May gave me a new set of rules to follow."
"Seriously." says Hunter
Skye nods and holds up a paper titled Skye's Rules.
"Glad I'm not the only one she hates. What are they then?"
"You are the only one. I can't tell you its one of the rules."
"Seriously. Give it here." says Lance as he reaches behind him and tries to grab the paper from Skye.
Everyone yelled as the car swerved and Mack reached over and tried to steady the steering wheel before they went off the road and crashed.
"Uh Oh." says Simmons
"What's going on Bobbi?" asks May
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Well something is going on. You in here, the rest in the other car, and I'm in the back. Something is going on." says Coulson
"Skye and Simmons mentioned a change of subject when they wanted to know the relationship between your mom and Doctor Garner. I told them I'd try to ask you about it. I'll just tell them it was a bust. Unless you want me to know."
"You won't say a word to them until I'm ready for them to know." says May and looks over and sees Bobbi nod knowing that she will keep her word.
"He's my ex."
"The ex you haven't talked to in whose knows how long. He's the one whose going to help Skye. May you are a saint."
"That's what I said. Oh hang on, Skye's calling me. Hello. Fire. How did that happen? They What. In The Car. May stop the car."
Once May stops, they get out and see the other car smoking. The others are standing outside the car smiling and waving.
"I'm going go call my mother and tell her we may be late."
"What happened?" asks Coulson looking at FitzSimmons
"We were trying to fuse some wires together but they fell to the floor when Hunter took his eyes off the road." says Simmons
"It all happened so fast." says Fitz
"Is everything alright with the car though?"
"I believe so. We should be good to go in about twenty minutes." replies Mack as he tries to air out the car
Skye not wanting to wait next to smoking car walks over to Bobbi who is sitting in the other car.
"Did you find anything out?"
Bobbi glances toward the others and sees May talking with the others trying to figure out how in the world FitzSimmons lit the car on fire.
"She said if you needed to know you'll know." says Bobbi not giving anything away
"She told you didn't she. Does she think I'll blurt it to the world? "
"Blurt what to the world?" asks Coulson as he's getting into the car
"Nothing. How much longer do we have anyway."
"Depending on traffic, at least thirty minutes. You getting in?" asks May as she starts the car
"I rather smell flowers than burnt carpet."
About forty five minutes later the cars end up on a dirt road and they are starting to drive deeper and deeper into the forest.
"May, not like I don't trust you or anything but this looks like a beginning of a horror movie." says Skye
"Good. That's means we're getting close."
Soon after the while, the cars turn onto a gravel paved road. They eventually slow down and come to a stop in front of a modern day cabin that looks big enough to house most of the people at the Playground. Even though its mid-afternoon it is impossible to see through some of windows that are on the front side of the house.
"Holy Moley." says Fitz
"That is a big house." says Mack
"Maybe we'll have time to run around outside and play tag."
"I thought you were supposed to silent from here on out." says Simmons to Hunter as she gets out of the car
"What May doesn't know won't hurt her." says Hunter as he walks towards the others
"I forgot to say this earlier but it should be understood, don't touch anything especially if it looks breakable. Does anyone need me to go over the rules again? Hunter?" asks May as she glances over at him who shakes his head.
"Good"
May turns and walks up the path toward front door. Once closer to the cabin shrubs covered in purple flowers can be seen surrounding it. Once at the door May reaches for the handle but finds that there isn't one. She begins to bang on the door.
"What's wrong?" asks Skye
"There's no handle. She must of changed the door. Again."
"Well figure something out, these flowers are getting heavy." groans Coulson as he struggles with holding the giant vase of flowers and his suitcase.
"I told you not to buy them. Hang on there's an open window up there. I'll be right back."
May begins to climb up the white trellis that is situated underneath the open window. Once she reaches the top of the trellis, she lifts herself up onto the windowsill and slips into the house.
"You ever been here before sir?" asks Simmons
"Couple of times. House parties and the like." replies Coulson as he continues to struggle with the vase
"Wonder what's taking her so long. I need to use the bathroom." says Skye who begins to hop from one foot to another.
"I thought I was the only one." says Fitz who begins to copy Skye's movements.
"Oh look here she comes."
"Finally. May take this and show us to the nearest bathroom." says Coulson as the door opens not being able to see who opened the door due to the amount of flowers that are in the vase.
"May…May. I know you think the flowers are too much but just hold them for me. Why did you guys stop hopping? Oh."
"Hello Phillip." says Mrs. May as Coulson pokes his head through the flowers.
Finally they got to the house. What are FitzSimmons making for Mama May? Skye's rules will come up in the next chapter. Leave a comment
