A/N: Just fun and fluff... using some fun I had in one of the chapters of the last story I wrote. I hope you guys don't mind. I found it hilarious to show that even though many years have passed... not much has changed. Plus, with the heartbreak going on with the show, this might be a fun place to escape to. Hope it makes you smile or laugh. enjoy!
"Mom? Mum?" Sarah walked into the house, finding it empty. She reluctantly knocked on her parents door before slowly pushing it open, and was relieved to see the bed made; but now grew even more curious. "Seriously guys, this is creepy." She whispered to herself, her voice catching in the empty air surrounding her.
As she got back towards the kitchen, she noticed a bag on the counter with a post it note stuck to it.
'Darling, gear up and come outside. We're waiting.'
It was obviously written by the Brit, who was still endlessly facinated by the little yellow papers that would stick to nearly everything. Sarah used caution when opening the bag, her eyes going wide when it's contents were revealed. "No way." She tossed everything on, taking the weapon out of the bag and a piece of paper labled 'rules of the game,' reading it as she walked toward the back door. "So cool."
Sarah carefully opened the door, poking her head out and scoping ou the yard. Her head whipped to the right when she heard, more than saw something moving in the bushes. She slowly made her way in that direction, stopping when she saw Claudia sneaking around a tree.
Pete ran by, Claudia jumped out behind him and shot him in the back; his vest began to vibrate for almost ten seconds.
"Ha! Two minutes sucka! Get down." Claudia shouted.
"No fair! Camping should be illegal." Pete whined like a child and sat down.
"Dude, you never learn." Claudia started doing a victory dance around Pete, unaware that Sarah was near by until she felt her head shake almost violently for a few seconds. "Ah!" Claudia shrieked. "What!?"
"Ha!" Pete pointed, laughing. "Five minutes Claud. Sit."
"Not cool." Claudia sighed before plopping down next to Pete.
"Sorry guys!" Sarah started walking past the two when Pete stood up.
"Yeah, my two minutes are up!" Just as he stood, Sarah extended her arm and tagged him in his head. "Aw man!" He immediately sat back down, pouting as Claudia fell back laughing.
"Sorry uncle Pete! Gotta find my moms." Sarah quickly ran past them and before the two knew it, she was out of sight.
"She's worse than you." Pete said, bumping Claudia on the shoulder.
"She's a Bering-Wells dude. Should have seen that coming."
...
Sarah managed to track both of her mothers through the woods, but lost the trail at a small clearing, surrounded by trees. It was actually quite beautiful, the trees created a perfect canopy over head, keeping the small meadow in shadow, but letting enough light sneak in to catch the colors of each flower perfectly. Lost in the beauty and serenity of this place, Sarah let her guard down long enough to be taken by surprise as her mom popped up in front of her.
"Mom!" She lifted the laser tag gun and pointed at Myka's head. Myka gave her a look that had the young Bering-Wells immediately lower it to point at her mom's chest. "Why are we playing laser tag?"
"Because it's fun." Myka raised her hands in surrender, her lips curved as she tilted her head to look up in the tree. She winked, cluing Sarah in on a plan that she was not aware of.
Sarah turned around just in time to be hit in the chest, her vest shaking as she yelped in surprise. Before she knew it, her mum's boots were hitting the ground.
"You were up in a tree this whole time!?"
"Yes darling, your mother taught me that one." Helena looked at Myka, remembering all the times the younger woman would unknowingly take her by surprise, and all the times she knew, and simply let her. "Now sit, two minutes."
"That's a mean trick." Sarah sat down, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Your mom used it on me a few times." Helena bit her lip, flicking her gaze up to meet Myka's.
"Yeah and that was disturbing." Claudia and Pete walked into the clearing, guns at the ready, but lowered them when they saw that the other two women had their weapons lowered.
"So wrong." Pete added.
"Why?" Sarah asked, but before Pete or Claudia could answer, they were both zapped in the head; Pete by HG and Claudia by Myka.
"Hey!" They yelled in unison as the two women doubled over in laughter. "That's where she gets it from." Claudia whispered, looking over at Pete.
"So guys?" Sarah said, getting everyone's attention. "This was great, but what was all this about?"
"Your mom's always liked doing this stuff and wanted to share it with you. Just something to do together. They thought it would be 'fun.'" The red head said, putting air quotes around the word 'fun.'
"That's because they always 'win.'" Pete said, putting air quotes around the word 'win.'
"Uncle Pete? I get why Claudia did air quotes, but why did you?"
"Because by 'win,' I meant cheat."
"We don't cheat!" Myka yelled.
"Yeah, you kind of do." Claudia said under her breath.
"Claudia dear." Helena kneeled in front of her young friend. "You do remember the rules yes?"
"What rules?"
"Exactly." Helena stood, shaking out Claudia's hair before walking over to her wife. "Shall we love?" She held out her arm which Myka eagerly took hold of and they began walking back towards the B&B.
"Well my two minutes are up." Sarah stood, running over to join her mothers, squeezing between them. "Where are we going?"
"Leena made cookies." Helena said, glancing over her shoulder just in time to witness Pete huff and pout.
"Yum!" Sarah took hold of her parents hands. "This was really fun." She sighed leaning into Myka.
"Glad you thought so." Myka said, kissing her daughters forehead and winking at Helena over her.
Pete and Claudia's time was up not too long after the three had started walking, they could still be seen ahead of them.
"Hey Pete?"
"Yeah Claud?"
"If they ever suggest paintball, remember this moment okay?" Claudia shivered, imagining the beating they would take in that game.
"Definitely. Paintball is out!" Pete accidentally yelled, loud enough to be heard by the three ahead of them.
"Actually that sounds like a brilliant idea!" Helena couldn't supress the smirk on her face and everyone heard it in her voice; the three women laughed together, their laughter almost identical in the way that they were menacing.
"They are all evil." Pete mumbled.
"Yup."
...
Sarah heard her mother's whispering in their room. She knocked on their already open door and walked in when they waved her over.
"That was great." She jumped on their bed, crawling between them and snuggling in. "Can we do it again?"
Myka looked over their daughters head at Helena who was holding her shoulder; the aches and pains of the game catching up with her.
"What happened?" Sarah looked at her mum, concerned.
"Nothing darling. Your mom and I were just talking about how we may be getting too old for this." Helena said, rubbing out the knots in her neck and shoulder.
"You're getting too old for this." Myka corrected.
"You guys are not old." Sarah reached over, taking hold of both her mothers arms and pulling them in as close as possible. "You guys are the best parents any kid could ask for." She yawned, stretching a bit before curling into Helena and closing her eyes.
"Looks like we have a little bed bug tonight." Myka chuckled, wrapping herself around her family.
"Yes we do... and isn't she beautiful?" Helena whispered. "Just like her mom."
Myka blushed, Helena smiled, then both women giggled when light snores escaped their childs mouth.
"She gets that from you darling."
"Shut up." Myka stretched herself forward enough to give her wife a goodnight kiss, placing a kiss on Sarah's head and both women fell sound asleep, their bodies tired from the days adventure, preparing for another adventure that tomorrow was sure to bring.
