Ash had finished her studies for the day and had been working on fixing herself a meal. She was also adding things to the shopping list she saw they were running low on. With that done she turned back to cooking food. It was going to be tasty once it was done.

Still looked like she needed more than mushrooms, onions, and squash. "Maybe I need carrots."

Or she could just give up and eat what she has now. It's not that big of a deal.

	Cait walked in the front door of the apartment and dropped her bag. She had just put in a long day at the aquarium and she was tired, but food had to come first. She was starving since she worked through lunch. The first thing that hit her was the smell of food cooking. "Hello? Ty?" she called out as she headed for the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey sis!" Noodles. They need yaki soba noodles. These always go good with vegetables. She breaks out another fry pan to make this work. "Have a good day at work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey," Cait said and managed a tired smile for her sister. "Got any extra? I'm starving. Long day today." She smiled fondly. "Baby dolphin was born." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmm. It's almost done. I'm doing up yaki soba noodles. Just trying to make sure they're crisp." She loves the weird food that is made on the surface world. She's never seen fried noodles in Atlantis. They're very tasty she thinks. "Boy or girl?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A boy," Cait said with a smile. "He's adorable. What are you making?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fried Japanese noodles with fried vegetables. really tasty." She flashes a grin. "I love this stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmmm. I can't wait to eat. Is Ty home?" she asked. She could check where Ty is through their bond, but it wasn't necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I haven't seen him. I've been nose deep in my books," Ash confesses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh. He's probably at the Tower. Which means we get some sister time. How's school going?" Cait slid onto a stool at the breakfast counter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. Mom and Arthur will be proud." Cait still couldn't call him Dad or father. Though they were on a lot better terms lately. Though Arthur didn't know about the engagement yet. "Have you decided on college yet?" Cait asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Urgh," she pulls a face as she pushes the noodles about waiting for them to brown a little more. "I still have no clue. I'm trying to pursue magic at the same time. And... I have no idea what I'd want in school. I just go because Mom and Daddy get that Look on their faces...I guess I might study history." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait was the oldest and the problem child. Ash was the youngest and the golden child. Her sister always did what their parents wanted. "You'll figure it out. There's time. So...I should have told you sooner, but I wanted to get through the holidays first. Ty asked me to marry him and I've accepted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And yet Ash used to stammer all of the time. It's only been recent that the stutter has almost gone away totally. "Oh!" She nearly sends the noodles into the ceiling. She catches them just in time. "That's great, Cait!" Then she decides the noodles are done enough so she sets up two plates. "I guess you haven't told everyone yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-24 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks. We haven't. We're getting around it telling everyone." Cait sighed. "Arthur's the hard one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My advice is to get Pippi to do it. Then flee," Ash says seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait sighed and shook her head. "What will be will be. Arthur will either deal with it or not. The Fates will decide." "How are you and Michael doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He's going to get mad," Ash pointed out. She didn't like that at all.

That has her brighten. "We're figuring stuff out still but he's....Good."

She hasn't dated before. And because he's just a little older Ash is being careful. Even if next month she'll be seventeen. She's taking a lesson from her sister when it comes to lots of stuff.

"That's something I haven't told Mom and Dad about either."

"When isn't Arthur mad?" she asked. "He's usually mad at me." Cait shrugged.

She smiled. "Good to hear that. Look at it this way, tell Arthur and then I'll tell him about Ty and me. He'll forget about being mad at you and Michael."

Cait didn't want Arthur being mad at Ash. She'd rather have Arthur mad at her instead of her sister. Ash didn't need to deal with Arthur's temper.

	"He isn't always mad," Ash says carefully. "He is just cranky. Often." She chuckles faintly. "I think Mother is the one most capable of being reasonable about us dating. She wants us to be happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-25 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Mother is mostly reasonable," Cait said. "You're dating. I got engaged. There's a big difference, but you don't need to worry about it. You just be happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know me, Cait. As the surfacers say, I make a mountain out of a mole hill." She just makes a face because she knows it's true. She gets nervous and problems become so much bigger in her mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You deserve to be h-happy too you know," Ash points out. "Let me know if I can do something Cait. You're my sister. I want you to be happy too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
