open_flameLiz: Oh my God @daddysbubbles is hyper. I wonder if @AmesinChange had a corn syrup IV when she was knocked up.
Elena: HI AUNT LIZZIE! *glomps*
Liz: *crumples* Holy crap! *scowls* Watch it, bouncy. I'm pregnant!
Elena: Soooooorry. *snuggles*
Liz: *pets* So...Amy and Nathan worked it out huh? You've got her...well...*how to put this nicely* Can Do Attitude.
Elena: *grins widely* Yeah, Mama and Daddy are...*happyface*yeah. But Ayla says they're still fighting here. Have you seen my brothers?
Liz: Nathan's kids? *frowns* He's never brought them around. *forced smile* There's....an awful lot going on right now, Pumpkin.
Elena: ..Oh. *frown* Wonder why. How bad are Mama and Daddy fighting here?
Liz: *lying Liz is a liar* They're just doing what all Mums and Dads do, honey. *head shake at the random Jack-ism* They're fine.
Elena: Promise, Aunt Lizzie? I don't wanna not exist in my own future.
Liz: They'll work it out, kid. I can just...tell, you know what I mean?
Elena: Not really. What do you mean?
Liz: You ever heard the expression 'trust your gut'?
Elena: Yeah. Well, Mama and Daddy say instincts rather than gut, but Uncle Red says gut, so yeah.
Liz: Same thing. *nods* And my gut's telling me your Mom and dad will be fine.
Elena: *sighs* I hope so. I desperately hope so.
Liz: *wraps her arms around the little bouncy kid who's not bouncing* Hey, you've seen Back to the Future, right?
Elena: Hmmmm...maybe. I don't remember. *hugs Aunt Lizzie around the waist*
Liz: It had the car with the wing doors and the crazy old scientist. *pets her hair* Uncle Red MUST have made you watch it.
Elena: *giggles* Sounds like a car Uncle Jack would have, and like Crazy Old Mutt. I don't remember, though. Probably slept through it.
Liz: Well, in the movie, Marty McFly had to be super duper sneaky and get his parents to fall in love again. When he almost didn't and wasn't gonna be born he started to get see though and all phasey like your Aunt Kitty. *pokes Lena's belly* And you feel pretty solid to me, kid.
Elena: *squeaks in response to the poking, returning the favor* Hey! *giggles* Maybe. I'm scared 'cause my brothers aren't here yet.
Liz: *frowns* You mean your brothers from your time or your brothers now? *stern voice* You have to be careful, sweetheart. Time doesn't like it when things aren't how they're supposed to be.
Elena: Monty and Simon. And Lukey's all...*sadface again* Lukey isn't okay. Butbutbut...what if this spoiler thing is what it takes to put things right? Telling people what point B is so they figure out how to get there from point A? *so bad at this rule*
Liz: *hugs her again* I know, honey, but you have to be careful. *smiles encouragingly* You have to be like Marty McFly. Sneaky. You can nudge, you can guide, you can drop hints but you can't force it, you know what I mean? *firmly*
Elena: But -why- does it have to be that way? And 'sides, it's not forcing to say "Hey, this is where you're headed." Is it?
Liz: Because those are the rules and we have to follow them. *headshake* Because people need to have free will. It's only right.
Elena: I guess. *pouting* I just... I miss my brothers, and my Daddy, and my Uncle Peter, and everyone. No one knows me here and I don't like being alone, Aunt Lizzie. Yeah, I have Ayla and Sammie, but...everything is broken right now and I'm scared.
Liz: hugs* I know honey. I miss your Uncle Jack...*pauses and sniffles* So much. But I have faith in him, I know he'll be fine because I have faith in him, and I have faith your family, too. *forces a smile* Faith is a very, very powerful thing.
Elena: *superfrown* Why do -you- miss him, Aunt Lizzie? Where is he? *distracted from her blood family now*
Liz: *same lie she told the boys* He's just away for a while. work stuff. *casual, almost too casual* You know how busy he is.
Elena: You usually don't cry when he's gone. *frowns, kissing Aunt Lizzie's cheek* How long has he been gone?
Liz: *sighs, forcing the smile even harder* Not that long. He used to be gone for a lot longer when he worked in Cardiff.
Elena: I guess. Still, you...*huffs* I'm worried about you, Aunt Lizzie. *nuzzles*
Liz: *sighs, wrapping her arms around Lena* Yeah, you're not the only one, kid. Trust me.
Elena: *squeeze* Love you.
Liz: *chuckles* Yeah? I don't even know your name kid, but...betcha I love you, too.
Elena: *whispers in her ear* Elena. My name is Elena. *hugs tight*
Liz: *winces* SPOILERS! *chuckles* I won't tell your ma and dad, OK? I promise. *hugs back*
Elena: Why's -that- matter?
Liz: Free will, sweetheart. You have to learn to keep things to yourself. What if your mommy and daddy don't know what they want to call you and your sister, huh? If you tell everyone your name, you might take away your mom and dad's free will, and we can't have that, can we?
Elena: But I... *huffs* It's not like it'll change anything...
Liz: Maybe, maybe not. *smiles* You never know, Alena. One little thing, can change the whole world, so be careful.
Elena: I don't think my -name- would change much. *o.O*
Liz: Anything can change, honey. *snuggles a bit* Didn't your Uncle Jack teach you about this stuff, or the Doctor?
Elena: *shrugs* Uncle Jack is really vague about just about everything, and I never see the Doctor.
Liz: *eyeroll* I'll make sure Jack teaches you guys, OK? Little...tweak. *innocent* The Doctor does it all the time, why can't I?
Elena: *snickers* Sounds like a plan.
Elena: HI AUNT LIZZIE! *glomps*
