"You seem to be in a better mood." FDR observed over his beer as Tuck took his shot.

"Do I now?"

"Yep, what's her name?"

Tuck nearly choked on his beer, "wha-what?" He spluttered and tried to look offended. FDR wasn't buying it and needled him until he gave in. "Alright alright jeez nosy wanker, her name is Cadence."

"Cadence…where have I… Oh that's crazy!"

"What is mate?"

"McCall right? Cadence McCall?" FDR clapped his hands as Tuck nodded. "Dude she's our new wedding photographer!"

"You…you're serious mate?" Tuck gaped as FDR laughed and nodded.

"How did you meet her? Lauren said she had a daughter oh perfect…to perfect."

"I hesitate to ask…"

"Hot MILF!"

"Jeez Franklin, sometimes I still can't believe she's marrying you."

"So…so how'd you meet her? She's smoking hot right?"

"She is quite lovely."

"Come on man you gotta give me more than that."

"Is that all you think about mate? Bloody hell fine, she had a nice figure, a great arse, brilliant smile….and what I care about, she loves her daughter."

"Don't tell your mum ok Spud?" Tuck pleaded as he pulled up to the local pizza joint. Katie had been on a health food kick lately. It wasn't that he didn't agree with their son eating healthy, but he deserved a treat every now and then. He was proud of his son for being Hannah's friend and if any kid deserved to have someone look out for them it was her.

"Pizza!? Alright dad!"

"You've earned it Spudley", Tuck replied, ruffling his son's hair. He led Joe into the restaurant and they were quickly seated. "I'm really proud of you Spud."

"Thanks dad, so Hannah's mom seems cool." Joe mused then added "think she'd let Hannah hang out sometime?"

"You really like this girl huh."

"Not like that dad, remember…"

"Right… cooties eww." Tuck replied with a chuckle and Joe nodded as he took a bite of the pizza slice from the whole one they'd gotten to share.

"She's cool, like just a friend or a big sister." Joe mused and Tuck almost choked on his drink. Sometimes his son seemed older than 9, grasping concepts that often seemed far fetched for the reasoning skills of a 4th grader. "That'd be cool if you got together with her mom." He mumbled offhandedly.

"You think so huh?" Tuck replied, trying not to 'loose his cool' and choke on his drink again. So now it wasn't just FDR, even his own son was trying to play matchmaker.

Paxton was Cadence's best friend; he was a fun loving, trash talking diva with a boyfriend who went by Francesca, his real name, Frank. "Oh honey child just look at you." Paxton exclaimed with a clap of his hands.

"Am I a…diva now?" Hannah giggled as she paraded around in Paxton's feather boa and Francesca's latest make up.

"Isn't she just gorgeous", Francesca purred, "Show us that model strut baby doll." They were laying it on thick, but it was worth it when Hannah beamed and took a lap around the room.

"You two are just too much", Cadence laughed over her mug of tea.

"So tell tell tell about this new man of yours."

"Good lord Pax I met him once!"

"She…likes him…I can…tell." Hannah snickered and Cadence blushed.

"Not helping…" Cadence sighed, Hannah just grinned.

"What! 'You' like someone…Oooh giirrrl now we have to know." Francesca goaded as he helped Hanna take off the makeup to try a new 'look'.

"He's Hannah's classmate's dad…" She sighed and added, "And he's hot as-"

"H. E. double…hockey stick?" Hannah offered brightly. "Come on…mom…it's true."

"Well we will just have to meet this dream boat and his wonderful son, who has been so nice to our little lamb." Paxton praised and Hannah scoffed.

"Pax-ton I'm… almost 12… you know."

"And you've aged so well baby doll you must tell me your secret." Francesca cooed as he dusted rouge over Hannah's cheekbones. The little girl giggled then turned to see herself in the mirror. "Hmm it needs something, but what?"

"Try this." Cadence offered, getting up and placing the modest Tiara Francesca had one in some drag queen contest on her daughters head. "Smile baby girl." She laughed, grabbing the camera she always had with her from the side table.

"Work it girl work it," Paxton cheered as Hannah struck poses, both simple and exaggerated. "So when will you see handsome again?"

"I don't even know…."

"Hey Hannah, here it's alright let me help." Joe offered, kneeling down to begin picking up the papers some 7th grade jerk had knocked out of her hand when he purposely 'bumped' into her in the hall.

"Tha-anks J-Joe."

"Some people are just born bullies."

"W-why are you…so nice…to me?"

"Why not, you didn't do anything wrong mate." Joe answered as he finished stacking the papers.

Hannah didn't have an answer, she knew she didn't like Joe 'like that', but he was a pretty cool kid. Besides who was a 9yr old compared to Austin Mahone or the guys from One Direction? Suddenly she had an idea, "Hey Joe…does your dad…like my mom?"

~LCA~

Mrs. Adelai had given them their assignments for the class project. Joe had been paired with Hannah, but everyone knew they were friends by now. The project was to show things they loved in an interesting way and Hannah had the great idea to have her mom help. She also started working with Joe on a way to get their parents together.

"So these are the days he picks me up."

"Mom is…almost always late."

"Perfect…" Joe replied. He'd heard his dad talking with Uncle Frank. He knew his dad liked Hannah's mom. Part of him was sad that his parents hadn't stayed together, but if his mom found someone she was happy with then his dad should too right?
