When she's bored and alone...
"Hey Trixie!" Jerome poked his head into the living room, a childish grin on his face, and his bright blue eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Hi." She mumbled, not tearing her eyes off of the magazine in her hands.
"Hi TrixiePixie!" Alfie cheered, joining his best friend at the living room entrance.
"Never call me that." She spat, still fully interested in her magazine.
"Hey Yacker!" Eddie joined the boys, his greeting, immediately making Patricia look up and smile at him.
"Hi Weasel." She returned, both of their eyes meeting.
"Wha?" Alfie slumped his shoulders. "He can call you Yacker but I can't call you TrixiePixie?"
"No that's stupid. You make me sound like Tinkerbell."
"Man you're critical. I don't know what's wrong with adorable fairies." Jerome said.
Patricia placed her magazine down and slowly stood up, approaching the three clowns.
"Do I seem either adorable or fairytale-ish to either of you?"
"Adorable." Eddie shrugged.
"Not you. I already know your answers." She shot, re-facing Jerome and Alfie who both shook their heads no.
"So, Patricia?" Alfie gulped. "Whatchya doing?"
"Nothing." She scowled. "If you couldn't tell by the way One Direction is on the cover of my magazine.
"But you like them!" Eddie protested.
"Shut up doofus." She glared at him.
"Twixie wikes wone direwetion!" Jerome and Alfie mocked in baby voices, laughing afterwards.
"Would you two Slimeballs get out of here already?" She yelled, immediately making them scamper off. "What were you doing with them anyway?" She crossed her arms.
"We we're going to hit the movie theater down town, wanna come?"
"Not with them." Patricia sighed, stalking back to the couch, and re-opening her magazine.
"But if you don't have anything to do-"
"Seriously?" Patricia cut him off, already knowing what his question was. Or what she hoped it was.
"Yeah I guess…" Eddie wouldn't deny that he was secretly hoping she would have let him go to the theater anyway.
"Promise?" But the way that she looked at him, like she was so desperately longing for someone to hang out with, made him almost desperate to stay.
"Promise." Eddie started to walk out of the room. "Just let me go tell the guys."
After some obvious arguing from Jerome and Alfie's room, the tall blonde and his best friend, close behind, trekked out of the house, leaving it more silent than ever.

"Ha. Sucker." Patricia held out her palm, patiently waiting for Eddie to hand over the rest of his Monopoly money to her.
"I give up." He said exasperatedly. "I just cannot play this stupid board game!"
"Aww but you did play," Patricia sympathized.
"And lost."
"I know." She casted her eyes downward, trying to hide the smile on her lips.
"Let's play a different game." Eddie walked over to the stack of ancient board games they stole from Victor's secret stash, which was secretly piled away in the back of the cellar.
"Okay it's your choice now."
"We're playing Life!" Eddie grabbed the board game, excitedly.
"Can we… not?"
"My choice Yacker." Eddie grinned. "What are you embarrassed or something?"
"You're not?"
"Okay, if you're too chicken to play The Game Of Life with your completely understanding boyfriend, than what would you rather do?" Eddie glanced over at the games. "Just know I might not agree."
"Watch a movie?" Patricia suggested.
"We could have done that already!" Eddie whined.
"How about Harry Potter?" Patricia suggested, smiling when he lightened up to the idea. "I'll go get them." She disappeared into his room, locating the drawer where he kept all of his nerdy things, and came back only seconds later. "Now you can pick." She smiled. "One, two, or three?"
"Wow they're all so different!" Eddie replied sarcastically, grabbing for the third DVD. "But this one's my favorite." Patricia nodded, and put the DVD in. "But Yacker?"
"Yeah?" She asked, squinting at the screen and fumbling with the remote.
"If I stayed home only to watch a movie with you, than you have to come here."
"Fine." She complied, laying in his arms and letting him kiss the top of her head as she continued to attempt at getting the movie to play.
…Hang out with her.
