And here's another chapter because the last one was just a tiny filler.
A bit more than a month later, Nepeta's arm was fully healed and the cast was taken off. To celebrate, Latula took them all out for dinner. At some point she had decided she was staying in town permanently or something. Mituna came with them. They went to White Spot because Latula knew there wouldn't be many people and too much loud noise bothered Mituna. Sollux had met Nepeta a few times at that point and his mom had let him go as well. So they were a group of six at a booth.
"I want ice-cream!" Nepeta declared.
"You can have that for dessert if you have room." Karkat said. "Get something for dinner first."
"Hi." the waitress said. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"I'll have a beer." Latula said.
"No alcohol." Karkat said.
"Why not? We're celebrating little Nepeta's recovery from a broken arm! Celebrations mean beer!" Latula insisted.
"I'm not letting you be a bad influence on Nepeta!"
"Okay, then. Nepeta?" Latula looked at Nepeta, who looked back at her.
"Yes?" Nepeta asked.
"When you're older, don't ever order what I'm ordering now."
"Yes ma'am!" Nepeta said. Karkat sighed.
"Fine, whatever." he groaned.
"Water." Mituna said to the waitress.
"I'll have thome honey." Sollux said. The waitress blinked, clearly confused. "Jutht put it in a cup."
"I'll have iced tea." Nepeta said.
"I'll have root beer." Karkat said.
"I'll have Coca-Cola." Terezi said. The waitress nodded and walked off.
"Now, what are you kids going to eat?" Latula asked.
"I'll have the thalmon burger." Sollux said.
"I want fish!" Nepeta declared.
"They don't have fish in the kids menu." Karkat said. Nepeta whined and pouted, but Karkat just shook his head.
"Fine, I want macaroni and cheese." Nepeta said.
"I'll have a burger." Terezi said.
"Yeah, me too." Karkat said, looking at the list of burgers.
"I'm having ribs!" Latula said. "What about you, 'Tuna?"
"Pasta." Mituna said, pointing at the menu. Latula nodded.
"Sounds good!"
"Why didn't Kanaya come?" Nepeta asked.
"She's visiting Porrim and Kankri right now." Karkat said. Nepeta sighed and the waitress came back with their drinks (and honey for Sollux).
"Have you decided what to eat?" the waitress asked. Everyone nodded and said their order. The waitress nodded and walked off.
"When do we get our food?" Nepeta asked.
"When they finish cooking it." Karkat replied. Nepeta sipped her iced tea and doodled on the kids menu with the crayons. She drew a shipping drawing for Porrim and Kankri and one for Latula and Mituna. Then she ripped the drawings off the paper and handed the Latula and Mituna one to Latula and held onto the other one.
"Aw, thanks Nepeta!" Latula said. She held it in front of Mituna. "Look 'Tuna! She did a shipping drawing of us!" Mituna looked at it and smiled.
"Thanks." he said. Nepeta beamed proudly.
"You're welcome!" she said. They talked for awhile until their food came. Nepeta's mac 'n cheese came with fries and ketchup. Nepeta ate messily, covering her face with ketchup and melted cheese.
"Nepeta, you're fathe ith a meth!" Sollux said, laughing. He reached across the table and wiped some cheese and ketchup off her face with his hand, then licked his fingers and went back to eating. Nepeta grinned and licked her face. Karkat grabbed a napkin and wiped her face with it.
"No! I can eat it!" Nepeta protested.
"Try to be a bit civilized." Karkat grumbled. Nepeta stuck her tongue out at him and went back to eating.
"How are you going to drink that honey, Sollux?" Latula asked.
"With my thpoon." Sollux said. He picked up his spoon and dipped it in honey and ate it. Mituna picked up his spoon.
"Honey?" he asked. Sollux nodded and Mituna dipped his spoon in and ate the honey.
"Want thome, Nepeta?" Sollux asked. Nepeta grinned and nodded. Sollux dipped his spoon in the honey and held it out to Nepeta. Nepeta ate the honey and grinned, licking her lips.
"It's sweet!" she said.
"Of courthe it ith, it'th honey." Sollux said.
Karkat and Terezi bit into their burgers while Latula ate her ribs. Mituna ate his pasta and gave a bite to Latula. Latula gave him a piece of her ribs. She drank her beer and ordered more when her cup was empty. Sollux gave Nepeta a piece of his fish and she gave him some of her macaroni and cheese. She then gave some to Karkat, so he gave her a piece of the meat in his burger. Terezi gave him a bite of her burger, which had chicken in it. Karkat gave her a bite of his and Latula gave them each a piece of rib. Sollux gave Mituna a piece of his chicken and Mituna gave him some pasta. Latula gave Mituna a sip of beer and offered some to Karkat and Terezi. Karkat refused but to his surprise Terezi took a sip. Despite the fact Latula got half-drunk, she never yelled or shouted. Karkat realized that showed just how much she cared about Mituna. She even stopped ordering beer when she got halfway drunk so she wouldn't be completely drunk. They talked and laughed the whole evening until Nepeta fell asleep and Sollux began to get tired. When the bill came Latula looked to Karkat. He knew that was coming so he pulled out his wallet and paid. They took the mints and Latula drove everyone home.
"Bye." Terezi said. Karkat kissed her and smiled.
"Bye. See you tomorrow." He waved while holding sleeping Nepeta as Latula's car drove off. He carried Nepeta to her room and laid her in bed. Nepkat jumped up next to Nepeta and licked her face. Nepeta smiled and mumbled something, but didn't wake up. Karkat kissed her cheek and picked up Nepkat. He carried the kitten out of the room and turned out the light and shut the door. He sat in his room and played with Nepkat for awhile before he finally went to bed himself. Kanaya was still at Porrim's, but Karkat knew she'd be back by morning. He sighed and closed his eyes. That had been a good day.
Check out all that cuteness and crap. :) Hope you all liked that.
