"So how do you go about telling a team of geniuses with low EQ's that two of their own have been secretly dating for a month?" Toby posed the question to Happy.
"How would I know? Remember?" she said pointing to herself. "Genius with a low EQ?"
"Good point," Toby noted.
"So I guess this is your job, I'll be off then. Have fun shrinking," Happy said quickly starting to pull off the sofa.
"Not so fast," He said pulled her back down, wrapping his arms around her waist, and pulling her into his lap, "Even the best shrinks need moral support." They were in the garage alone while the team was out.
"Please, you won't get any work with me here," she pointed out.
"If you leave, I will follow you," He informed her.
"Of course you will," Happy said rolling her eyes.
"So, how should we tell the team?" He asked.
"I thought we agreed it was your job to figure that out?" She refuted.
"Yeah, but I like watching you work, so you may as well do it," He murmured into her back.
"You make absolutely no sense."
"Yeah I get that alot."
An hour later she was still sitting on him as he fielded ridiculous ideas off of her. "See all we need are 10 koalas and a giraffe, and it will be easy to break the news. It's the perfect plan," he finished.
"Be serious,"She ordered, "We actually need to tell the team."
"Why do we need to tell them? Why can't we just send carefully worded greeting cards? Then they find out, and we don't need to be in the awkward situation that comes with telling them."
"I like the idea, but we can't," She informed him.
"Why not?"
"They're our family."
"Mm, but we could just not tell them until we feel like," Toby said. He moved his hands from her waist to her face. "We could just hang out here."
"If you solve our problem, I might kiss you," She informed him.
"I don't even get certain reward," Toby whined.
"Ok if you do this, I'll kiss you," She promised.
"I want an advance," he muttered quickly before pulling her into him. They end up figuring out how to tell the team.
"Maybe we should head back, we've been out for hours," Paige told Walter.
"But this is real fun," He complained next to Ralph and Sylvester. They were all looking at her with puppy dog eyes. This was what she got for taking them to the space museum. It was like a heaven for geniuses, but she was desperate to leave. She couldn't take another minute of standing around while they all ranted facts about the exhibits. It was like spending the day with a bunch of excited golden retrievers. You never knew what they wanted, but they make a ton of noise and won't leave you alone.
"I will buy you all ice cream, if we can just go home," she begged.
"Can we please just have ten more minutes, mom," Ralph asked his mother quietly.
"Alright, I will meet you guys by the entrance. Don't get lost." She warned as she walked off. Times like these were when she could really feel the distance between herself and her son.
"We have the ice cream. Now let's go home," Paige announced in her mom voice. She ushered all the boys into the car, and started to drive. "Do you have anything to say to me?" She asked.
"Thank you, Paige," they all chorused.
"Good, now let's get back. We can't leave Happy and Toby too long before they kill each other," Paige told them. "Or worse," she muttered to herself.
"So what did you think about the-" the geniuses chattered the whole ride back to the garage. They got out of the car, and walked in as usual.
"Uhh, guys?" Sylvester cried out.
"So now you're telling everyone?" Paige yelled, "This was the plan. I have a child with me. At least text some kind of warning"
"Problem solved I guess," Toby observed.
"What problem?" Walter questioned.
"We were trying to figure out how to tell you guys that we are a couple," Toby informed him, "But we kind of got distracted." Happy elbowed him quickly in the ribs while shushing him, "Ow!"
"Maybe we should leave," Sylvester suggested to Ralph.
"Yes, you take Ralph to the other room. We will come in in a minute," Paige ordered. After they had left she pushed Walter, "Now what do you have to say to them?"
"I have to say that while I-" He caught Paige's glare, "I am ok with this."
"So do whatever you want, but please keep it PG here. There are children," Paige said.
"Children?" Toby and Happy questioned together.
"Please, as if any of you can be considered adults."
