"Dad dad!" Mack yelled as he ran up to me "Where's aunt Eliza?"
"I don't know. Why are you looking for her?" I answered
"She promised us cookies" His twin sister, Mary, said as she followed behind him "We've been looking for her everywhere."
"Go ask one of your other fathers they might know."
"We already asked Denki and we can't find Neito" Mack said
"Alright follow me. He has to be around her somewhere." I started walking and they trailed behind me
I soon spotted Neito sitting with his feet in the pond. Mary and Mack ran to him and started asking questions immediately. He glanced over to me and I just shrugged.
"They really want those cookies don't they?" Someone said behind me
I turned and found Eliza standing there, cookies in hand.
"Come on, you can't tease kids with cookies."
"Oh but I can. Mary! Mack! Come here!"
They ran up excitedly and snatched the cookies from her before running towards the house. I walked slowly down towards Neito and sat next to him.
"Hey there, loud blonde." I said teasingly
"Hi eyebags." he responded
"Come on, you're so unoriginal."
"Yeah I'm unoriginal. I think you got it backwards."
I splashed him lightly with the pond water. He splashed me back harder. Soon we were having a full-on war and were completely drenched but we were both laughing. I leaned into Nei for a kiss just as Denki showed up.
"What happened to you two?" He asked
Me and Nei exchanged a look and instead of answering we both splashed him.
"Hey!" He yelled but he was laughing too
He splashed both of us back and we were back to our war. Soon we got tired and lay on the grass as the sun fell behind the horizon. The stars shone above us as we lay there in silence. That is until Mary and Mack found us.
"Dad, come on!" Mary yelled, "I want a bedtime story!"
"Me too!" Yelled Mack
Denki took Mary in and started reading to her while I read to Mack. The story he gave me was about a dragon prince who wanted to become human so they wouldn't fear him anymore. He ended up remaining a dragon however when he realized being a human wasn't any better. By the time I finished, Mack was asleep. I headed to me, Denki, and Neito's room, and lay in bed while they slept peacefully.
