[ just keeps a grin on his face as he pulls out from the curb, unable to help himself when he begins to go increasingly faster and faster instead of slowing down. ]

[ straightens in his seat second-by-second, tensing as the speed keeps increasing. dares a look at the speedometer while biting down a hrk. ]

Speed limit! Police!

[ still continues at the same speed for a while longer, humming to some tune in his head. when they approach a red light along the way it almost seems like he's not going to stop, but sure enough, at the last minute: screeeeeeeeech.

looks over at anthony finally, giving a wide smile. ]

See? I stopped. [ lifts a hand to pet his hair. ] You're safe with me.

[ barely acknowledges the petting, busily being rock stiff in his seat. face turns a tad blue before he finally releases his held breath. turns to give tony an incredulous stare. ]

I saw Buddha.

[ really can't help himself when he laughs at that, ruffling anthony's hair more. ]

Well aren't you lucky!

[ it takes him a moment, but eventually he seems to relax, sagging into the seat. tilts a bit toward tony's hand. ]

But he wasn't glowing. I feel cheated.

[ gives him one more ruffle before turning his attention back to the road, moving forward at the proper speed limit once the light turns green. ]

It just means that today isn't the day that you'll go to birdy heaven.

[ glances back at the road, a relieved breath escaping him at the normal speed. ]

Neverland is better.

[ shakes his head a bit at that. ]

You'll get there someday.

[ is quiet for a little while after that, seemingly mulling something over. ]

. . . You can get there too. If you come to the Harry Potter movie with Lyssa and me.

I don't want to go to Neverland. [ pauses, focusing on that last part for a moment. ] But I guess I can do a movie. Depends on my schedule. When is it?

November. Midnight showing.

[ drums his fingers on the steering wheel, humming in thought. ]

I'll see what I can do.

[ aborts his action of prodding tony's side half-way, thinking against it while his friend is still driving. ]

Do not make double-teaming necessary.

[ which is a wise choice, considering that he's pulling into the parking lot of the mall finally. ]

What kind of double-teaming are we talking about here?

Lyssa's famous puppy eyes.

[ pauses. ] And my hair?

[ makes a urking sound briefly at that, looking a little pained. ]

Okay, okay... I'll go to your movie-thing.

[ holds up a fist as he murmurs a yeeeesss. then turns to tony again. ]

And we're going in costume.

I'll be sure to take photos of you kids, then.

[ shakes his head. ]

You must be brave, Gryffindor.

[ shakes his own head. ]

Nuh-uh. I didn't agree to dressing up. That's for Halloween parties.

[ sighs. ]

Double-teaming it is.

[ pulls into a parking spot, quirking an eyebrow down at anthony. ]

Then I'm not going at all.

[ stares at him for a moment. ]

. . . You're going to say no to Lyssa?

[ shrugs, turning off the car. pops the door open after getting his seat belt off, giving anthony a glance. ]

She'll be fine with just you.
