(&& peach):

Peach chuckled as mentioned the flame thrower. “What? Mom didn’t get rid of it yet?” She stood up getting out of the bed and walking outside with Lucy. She was excited to spend some one on one time with her sister. She sat down in the chairs outside and looked at Lucy. “So..” She started, looking at her sister

“not yet and i’m going to use it as much as i want until she realizes it.” lucy grinned with a mischievous smile. After setting the items down Lucy grabbed the flame thrower and started the fire pit. The small girl sat down and looked at her sister. “whatever you have on your mind you know you can tell me right? I’m here for you.” Her smile now soft and kind.

(&& liz)‌:

liz let out a laugh as lucy pulled on her hands. “oh, luce, you didn’t have to get me anything!” as the load of questions came through she let out another laugh and nodded. “i’m feeling great, i don’t need anything! actually, maybe some food? i’m starving. i’m taking my vitamins, sleeping pretty well, and yes i’m drinking tons of water.” her gaze flew down to the gift and her heart melted, tears forming in her eyes. “i– thank you, lucy. this means so much…” her voice trailed off. another laugh left her and she shook her head. “no, no. so far he’s being awesome. he’s always so awesome.”

“of course i had to get something. i’m here to be the best aunt ever and best aunt duties start now.” she clapped with a grin. lucy was so excited, she loved her family so much and she was so happy that her big brother was so happy with liz and now the baby coming along. “you know if you need anything you just come over to this house. someone is usually awake so someone will always answer the door.” Sitting down and offering Liz a chair Lucy leaned on the armrest. “So I know it’s still early but are you thinking of having the babyshower here? Or somewhere in Auradon?”

(&& billie):

billie was always lost in her own world. it was shocking how she ever woke up from it. especially when she was inventing. her mind went a million miles an hour as she tried to piece things together while working. “well, thank god for that. if i didn’t i’d have so many things all over the house,” she joked before letting out a laugh. she looked around the room at the fallen items and then over at her closet before nodding slowly. she wasn’t one to accept help easily, but she needed this project to be done before she took a video of how it worked and wrote up the blueprints for the next morning. “uh…yeah, actually. i’m almost done with this closet. you remember how cher from clueless was able to have her computer pick out her outfits? that’s basically what this closet does, except it also gets the clothes for you and takes it out for you so you can just grab and go. cool, right?”

lucy was more then willing to help her siblings. everyone of them brilliant she wanted to make sure they always had helping hands. “you need to build some extra hands for your next project. well then again maybe don’t cause i like being helping hands.” she laughed. lucy listened and nodded, “that’s so cool, i remember always wanting that closet and wondering why grandpa never build it. he was just waiting for you to do it seems like!” Smiling and utterly fascinated Lucy continued. “so it will also shuffle around your closet for you and pull them up so you can wear them right then and there. and when you get new clothes do they just get programmed in?”

(&& brody)‌:

Brody knew Lucy’s exs, and they never lasted long. Nor should they. None of them had been good enough for Lucy. “He was just a giant baby. No way he would’ve ever lasted.” He told her, shaking his head at her words. “I was wondering if you were actually going to finish the sentence, but I guess we’ll just have to wait till after the dancing.” Teasing Lucy was easy and something they did to each other, tease a bit. He pulled her a little closer and shrugged. “Cooks dinners for a month? Does whatever the winner picks for a week? Not that we ever really argue about what we do during our hang outs.” He laughed. “What were you thinking?” 

“He cried so much. Like i’m all here for a good crying session but it was over everything.” She rolled her eyes. “Silly, silly things. When I win I’ll certainly pick something wonderful. You have been gone for a long time. We got a lot of time to make up for so when I win that’ll be part of it.” In the dark light her face flushed pink as he pulled her closer. This closeness wasn’t new, but it was different, maybe it was the music, maybe it was the excitement of having him home whatever it was Lucy was extremely content.

(&& petunia)‌:

Petunia was behind a tall shelf, putting away a stack of new books when she heard the bell over the door ring.  Thinking it was just another customer, she thought nothing of it until she heard her sister’s voice.  “Ah!  Coming!”  She called out, nearly tripping over her own feet as she ran to greet her sister.  “Hey, Luce!  I uh, I got a stack ready for you right here!”  She smiled, reaching behind the counter and pulling out a stack of her personal favorites.

“Hey!” she called back excitedly. Getting her bags out and moving to the counter she met her sister. “Careful there. I left my kit at work for the day.” Looking over the stack the elder Robinson smiled. “They are gonna love these. Been asking about them like non stop and it’s been great because they’ve started to trade around with each other so everyone is pretty much on the same page. How’s work been today?”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& florence)‌:

Florence looked her daughter over with a questioning smile, but didn’t push anything. She was going to let her tell her what happened in her own time. “Oh, well that sounds perfect! The two of you will finally have the chance to spend more than just a couple months together before he’s off again.” She paused a moment. “You should invite him to dinner! I haven’t had a chance to see him in a while. I’d like to ask him about this whole space trip.” 

She knew her mother’s look very well, she was waiting for an answer but Lucy would always get there eventually. Her smile only grew though, “Yeah totally more then a couple months. I love that.” Lucy twirled her hair around her finger. “Yeah totally.” She repeated. “Hey mom,” Lucy looked up, starry eyed and rosy cheeked. “The first time you kissed dad did  you feel like you could soar in the stars like you didn’t even know your world was out of place but suddenly everything was right, like that moment was not long enough, everything moving so incredibly fast around you and yet you were so still, just the two of you. Nothing else?” She sighed happily.

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& calcifer)‌:

“Thank you! It keeps up memorable, which will always help us in the long run.” He commented with a bright smile. “Taught frogs to sing? That sounds like such an odd thing really.” Calcifer spoke with furrow brows, confused about what she was saying. However, he started to move from where they stood and stop towards the potions they had. “So, we have a wide variety of potions, so I’ll give out some samples and provide explanations about what each potion does.” 

“Yeah. My grandpa is an inventor and my grandma is a musician who was determined to teach frogs to sing and she did. They’re pretty good, performed around Auradon and the other Kingdoms and such. Ya ever need some good jazz music, stop on by the Robinson household, ya really can’t miss the house.” She laughed. “Sounds great. A lot of these kids on the Isle grew up with nothing and different ways to get better, I just wanna make sure they feel comfortable here.”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& winter):

winter chuckled as his sister greeted him. “hey luce!” he greeted her back. “I’m doing a whole-lotta-nothing. just came out for some fresh air.” he shrugged. “what are you doing out?” he asked, the noticing the book she was holding. “besides reading more about astronauts.” he gave a smile. 

“a whole latta nothing. sounds interesting.” she teased. “well i was almost home when i realized i lost my new book marker so i decided to retrace my steps and i found it.” she held up a galaxy book marker. “but then i saw this other book, this one.” now she held up the one about astronauts. “and i thought to myself well brody wants to be one so i better brush up on everything that happens.  so i bought this book too. seems logical right.”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& brody)‌:

“One of you’re exs? Like those chumps could ever be on my level. I could run circles around them with my eyes closed.” He spoke, waving his hand like those guys were nothing. “I’m not going to lose. Not a chance in hell.” Brody laughed a bit before shaking his head. Checking his watch, he noticed the time before turning it towards her. “You’ve only got twenty minutes before I win.” 

Lucy let out a loud laugh. Mostly because he was right. None of her exs could ever match up to Brody but it was too fun to tease him. “I don’t know Jameson could come close. Oh but there was thing with the crying. So never mind.” She rolled her eyes playfully and looked over at the couple. “twenty minutes is plenty of time. do you know what i could do in twenty mins.” she paused, thinking. “i could do a lot but the dancing is very distracting.” lucy pulled on his hands moving closer to him. “What happens to the loser?”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& liz)‌:

everyone in the robinson clan seemed to be over the moon for the two soon to be parents and liz was happy. honestly, just them being as excited as her and warner were was enough support for her. warner was busy at work and the woman was tired of being in the apartment alone, so she made her way to the busiest place in all of auradon. the robinson household. as she walked in, she was already greeted by lucy and she let out a laugh when she saw the gift in her hands. “what have you got?”

lucy could hardly contain herself. she smiled brightly and pulled liz’s hands. “I’ve got you a gift silly. however as a nurse i have to ask, how you feeling, need anything are you talking your vitamins, getting sleep and drinking plenty of water?” she pushed that side of her down to then hold up her gift. “i’ve got some of the mommy to be essentials. only the best for mom and baby.” lucy was ready to spoil the two. “now i know warner is so ready for this but the moment he starts acting up you call me or any of us and we’ll knock him back bit. I mean I know we won’t have to but we just have to say it.” she giggled.

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& billie)‌:

billie was in a focus mindset as she was putting the finishing touches on her closet invention. she had a huge meeting the next morning to try and sell it for thousands, maybe a hundred thousands, so she was all over the place. more so than usual. she was rehearsing her speech over in her head so much that she didn’t even hear things drop as she made her way to her room. however, she did feel a presence behind her after a few seconds and she turned to see her older sister. “lucy! hey!” she greeted cheerfully before noticing the items in her hands. “did i drop stuff again?! i didn’t hear them fall!”

lucy waited until billie noticed her and she smiled brightly. “hi billie.” the robinson kids were brilliant. all their heads were filled so much, the constant turning of ideas, their talents nurtured by a home who told them to never give up. in any other household their quirks may have not been seen as normal but the robinson household was special. holding up all of billie’s items she nodded. “that’s why you got a sister to help you out. i heard you coming round the corner. she looked at all the stuff trying to figure out what her sister could be building. “you need an extra pair of hands?”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& calcifer):

“We were going for unique, hoping maybe it would set us apart from the rest a little.” He commented, smiling a bit as eh looked around the shop. “You know, science and magic kind of go hand in hand, although, I’ve never really done much of the science stuff myself.” Calcifer was kind of curious about the whole science thing, but never really looked much into it. “There is a wide variety of potions that we carry, so I’m sure we have a good amount of options available for you. Follow me.” 

“I mean this is the most unique shop that I’ve ever seen in Auradon so you definitely got that going for you.” With a smile Lucy nodded. “You should talk to my grandpa, he’s the one who got most of my siblings into science and my grandmother is the one who taught frogs to sing so the world is wild.” The blonde danced on her tippy toes, excited to see what he had. “Cool beans!”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& brody):

“Oh, I don’t plan on losing.” He just needed that couple to make it past eleven and he would be victorious, but they’d have to wait and see what happens. Brody laughed at her words, sure that he was going to prove her wrong in a couple minutes. As she shouted, he smiled and nodded his head. “I mean, mostly missed spending time with everyone and you. The whole ball scene, could probably let it go.” He laughed. 

“you’d let the whole ball scene go? Well them mister I won’t invite you to the next one. And you won’t get to see me all pretty and i’ll just call one of my exs i’m sure they’ll go with me.” she teased pushing against his shoulder as they moved. “also you wouldn’t get to have an epic bet. i mean you’re gonna lose but it’s all in good fun of course.” she winked with a giggle.

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& mom)‌:

Florence couldn’t help but smile a bit at her daughter’s words. It was great to know that she had friend here with her who she could go do stuff like that. Something seemed a little different, making the mom look at her with a curious smile. “Well that’s good! I’m glad the two of you had such a good time together.” Keeping her eyes on her daughter, she continued to speak. “How long until he goes off again? Hopefully it’s enough time for you two to catch up.” 

Lucy was still daydreaming. She sort of heard what her mother was saying but she also wasn’t fully paying attention. “Always a good time.” She bit on her bottom lip and sighed before blinking out of her daze. “Oh, umm, he’s not leaving for a while. He’s gonna start training, cause the next time he leaves is gonna be for a good while. He’s going to space, but not for long time. So he gets to be here, with me. It’ll be nice to not have to say goodbye.”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& peach)‌:

“I’d love some s’mores.” Peach smiled and stood up. “You know me so well..” She trailed off. “I’ll tell you when we go outside okay?” Peach spoke, figuring it was time to tell Lucy now. Lucy was not a sibling she worried about telling.. in fact she figured Luce would even be excited. 

Lucy smiled. She figured her sister would join her. “Sounds like a plan.” Moving back to the door she moved her head telling her little sister to follow her. “We can also test out the new flame thrower.” She was trying to her perk up but something was troubling her, it was written on her features and Lucy wanted to do whatever she could to make it better. “We gotta use that thing at least one before mom locks it up or something.”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

(&& calcifer)‌:

“Nice to meet you as well, Lucy.” He spoke, offering a small laugh as he shook the woman’s hand. “Yes, shops like this seem to be increasing with the new members of society that have joining us recently, but I think our shop can easily stand out form the rest.” Calcifer said with confidence, knowing their shop was one of the best. “Want them to feel more comfortable? So something like a relaxing potion or you looking to help them sleep?” 

She hummed in thought at his statement and looked around for another moment. “I mean it certainly is unique. Hats and spells who knew those two went together. Then again I grew up in a world of science and Auradon is very much a world of magic.” Shaking her head she tried to reword some of her thoughts. “See like you said, new members. We have people coming from all sorts of backgrounds and such. As a nurse it’s my job to make sure the students feel comfortable with their health choices. And I think if someone is used to potions and such and it works for them, I wanna try and accommodate that.”

[xanexcellentquestionx]

lucy found it useful to keep comic books in the office. magazines were weird and most kids would have preferred to read a comic anyways. so making her way to her sister’s shop she needed to pick up some newer issues. her regulars were asking for the continuation of the stories. entering the store lucy looked for her sister. “la flor,” she called out, “did you go to the back? i’m here to get the kids new books.”
