Out and About
It was a perfect winter day to be out and about in Los Angeles. The sun was bright and the air was a very mild seventy two degrees and more importantly, Zoey was in school for the day. It was perfect for shopping and Syd wasn't going to pass the opportunity up.

With her substantial increase in salary she could afford to treat herself to some new clothes. She asked if anyone wanted to go along and Aridis had taken her up on the offer. Syd also called her sister Bryn because if anyone loved to go clothes shopping it was Bryn. The woman lived for clothes.

Right now they were taking a break and grabbing a bite to eat. It wasn't anywhere fancy, far from it, but Pink's did have the best hot dogs in the entire city. Possibly the United States. Syd worked on a chili cheese dog as they sat outside at one of the tables.

"Simon. She ist quite taken with him even though she doth not wish to admit it," Aridis says in that tone that says she has seen quite a bit.

"I hath seen him look at her as if she were Lady Freya. He ist also most happy to do things with young Zoey," Ardis says with a wide smile. "T'would be a good match for you both."

"Simon only sees me as team mom. He will never see me as anything more." Syd shrugged. She had tried to tell Simon that she liked him, but it failed miserably.

"Ahhhhhh...he's a hot property." Bryn shook her finger at Syd across the picnic table. "No wonder you wanted new clothes. You should've said something before we bought all those schoolmarm outfits."

"Aye. He does not see thee as just a.... den mother. If only you two wouldst speak as frankly as thine actions around each other do," Aridis bemoans while getting ready to take another bite of her food.

Syd rolled her eyes. "My clothes are perfectly fine for business meetings."

She sighed. "I told Simon I liked him and I got how I'm a great mom and great team mom. He's. Not. Interested."

"You're hardly the easiest person to compliment, Syd. You start making excuses if somebody says they like your shoes. He was probably going for the obvious because you are a great mom to Zoey. She's a fabulous kid." Bryn sighed. "We're taking some of this stuff back right after lunch and we're getting you a more-you wardrobe. You, just more comfortable and approachable."

"Aye. Thou art a lovely woman Sydney. You should not be afraid to show all of who you are. You art a scholar, a mother, and a woman of character. Any man wouldst be proud to court you," Aridis says knowingly. "I mayth be the one among mine sisters who.... hast the most trysts but I know all things stay verily the same. Matters of the heart hath never changed. Tis universal. You will find someone who is worthy of you, not the other way around. You deserve romance."

"I need this stuff for business meetings, but maybe a few casual things would be nice."

Syd shook her head. "One, I don't have time. Two, the one guy I'm remotely interested in isn't interested in me. I'd rather focus on work and Zoey."

"Here's a thought - Zoey the Awesome is secure enough to realize that her mom can have a boyfriend, even a hottie like Simon Williams. Aridis is right, you have to go after what you want. We're going right back out and get you some new things, maybe a hair cut too. Agree with that and I won't push for a makeover."

It was then that Manawydan appeared in a Flash of Light the massive sea God stood there with a net.

“And there my blushing bride”, son of Leir said as he used the magical net to capture Aridis.

“Now you shall be mine forever,” He announces you his captive bride with a laugh and then before anyone could do anything they were both gone in another flash of light.

"Oh this is not good," Syd said as she sat with her mouth hanging open. "We have to go. Now."

"My guess is that another god just kidnapped...godnapped...Aridis," Syd said matter of factly. "I need to go home and tell the others." She started gathering the items on the table to toss in the trash.

Bryn moved to help. "Call them now! They're hero team, don't they have bat signals or something?"

"I'm not sure any of them would know enough to answer the phone," Syd said as she picked up the trash. "It's not that far and will only take us a few minutes to get there."

"I taught Zoey to answer my cell phone before she was a year old," Bryn said, tossing styrofoam plates into the trashcan. "Surely you could teach that crew how to answer a house phone."

"It's best they stay away from tech," Syd said as she tossed the cups and pasticware in the trash. "Let's go."
