Zoe (to Yukiko): Do you need help getting up off the floor?
Yukiko (to Zoe): No, I think I will live on this floor from now on... Poppy totally killed me.
Zoe (to Yukiko): Heh, well I think Mom might still be a little upset with you.
Yukiko (to Zoe): Ya think?
Victor (to Zoe & Yukiko): You're not the only one.
Zoe (to Victor): How the hell did you get up there?
Victor (to Zoe): I should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque?
Zoe (to Victor): Heh. I bet you say that to all the wabbits.
Victor (to Zoe): Just the wascally ones.
Yukiko (to Zoe & Victor): I have no idea what either of you are talking about.
Victor (to Yukiko & Zoe): Heh. It's a cartoon from this side. My dad insisted I watch it.
Zoe (to Yukiko & Victor): Heehee... Well, I'll leave you two to languish... I, um, have a date.
Yukiko (to Zoe): You do? When did that happen? Who is it?
Victor (to Zoe): WHAT? That's outstanding!
Zoe (to Yukiko): Calm down, it's not a big deal. It's just coffee with Colin... I ran into him earlier today with his dads. And, he asked me out... He said he'd been wanting to ask me ever since the family dinner a couple weeks ago.
Victor (to Zoe): Heh. Alright. Alright. I'm not freaking out. I'm just happy for you.
Zoe (to Yukiko & Victor): Heh... I gotta go. I'll see you guys, later.
Yukiko (to Zoe): Bye, Zoe. Have fun!
Victor (to Zoe): Goodbye. Have a good time! But not TOO good, little sister! :-P
Yukiko (to Victor): Heehee… so, do you think this the Colin that I met at Professor Rathbone's house?
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. I'm assuming so. He DID keep trying to sneak looks at her all evening.
Yukiko (to Victor): I was too busy avoiding getting mashed potatoes in my hair from the littlest one.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Yeah. Brigid is more than a bit of a handful, isn't she?
Yukiko (to Victor): Some two year olds are like that, I suppose... Do you think Nate knows about Zoe's date?
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. I suppose so. I'll confess, I am utterly at a loss with babies. I'm not sure what Nate knows. I haven't seen him for two days. My mother has been too busy kicking my arse.
Yukiko (to Victor): ... But it's such a nice arse.
Victor (to Yukiko): Ha ha ha! Well, I'm glad you think so. Just don't say that within earshot of my mom. ;-)
Yukiko (to Victor): Heh... I'm not suicidal.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. As much as I hate to stop you when you're expounding upon my assets... Do you suppose Nate is alright? I'm tempted to check on him, but somehow, I don't think that would go over terribly well.
Yukiko (to Victor): I'll go check on him, if you'd like me to.
Victor (to Yukiko): If you wouldn't mind. I know, I'm being more than slightly ridiculous. I'm sure he's fine.
Yukiko (to Victor): It's alright. I think it's sweet... And, I should probably head out afterwards. I don't want to push my luck with your mom.
Victor (to Yukiko): In that case, give me a kiss before you go. I promise my face isn't as tender as it looks.
A moment later:
Yukiko (to Victor): ... Before I go, um, have you thought anymore about moving in with me & Mars? I'm assuming you don't want to since you haven't mentioned it, at all. It's alright if you don't want to, you know?
Victor (to Yukiko): Oh! I thought because you and Mars moved in together... Would, I mean... Do you think Mars would mind?
Yukiko (to Victor): No, she's actually fine with it. We talked about it and, if you're not comfortable about sharing a room with me. She was willing to bunk with me, so you could have your own room. But, like I said, if you don't want to, I'll be disappointed, but it's okay.
Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Well, I wouldn't be adverse to sharing a room with you. I mean, if you didn't mind... I have to talk to my parents, of course. I mean, it kind of looks like we're staying on this side...
Yukiko (to Victor): Well, I'm just glad you're actually interested... I'll see you tomorrow.
Victor (to Yukiko): See you tomorrow.
A few minutes later:
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): Knock, knock, Nate... Are you in here?
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): Huh? Oh. Hey. Yeah. I'm... What the fuck happened to you?
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): Poppy happened... Are you okay? Have you been hiding in here all day?
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): Not all day. I did go to work today.
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): Oh... Well, I didn't mean to bug you, but I just wanted to say hello and goodbye.
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): I'm alright. You don't have to check on me.
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): Who said I was checking on you? I just thought you might be bored or mopey with Zoe out of the house tonight.
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): I know she's on a date.
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): That's cool. I guess, I'll leave you alone, then... Oh! Mars told me to tell you that she's going to be at the park tomorrow night, if you feel like joining her.
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): Oh. Uh, yeah. Tell her thanks. I'll think about it. I'll see you later. You should probably get some ice on that lip.
Yukiko (to Nathaniel): Yep, heading home to do that, right now. See ya later!
Nathaniel (to Yukiko): Bye.
A couple hours later:
Zoe: Hmmm, well that was... Actually, I'm not really sure what that was, exactly. But, it was definitely something.
