Silver's jaw dropped and she started at him. "Since WHEN?"

He covers his face with his hands, blushing.
Violet giggles a little. "They've been official for a while, though they don't get to see each other much. I think it's been… four years? Cage?"
He doesn't speak and a smile crosses her face.
"Now look, you've flustered him."

"Four years??" Miki cried. "Violet, Cage was a BABY four years ago. You let him have a girlfriend when he was that young??"
Silver leaned forward, trying to see Cage's face. "Cage, why didn't you tell us." It wasn't even a question.

Violet lets out a laugh. "Goodness, Miki. I'm not his mother. Anyways, he was like.. he was 15 when he met her. Plenty old to have a girl."
Cage bats at Silver with one hand and keeps his face covered with the other.

"The whole time I've known you and you didn't tell me?" Silver whispered.
"She sounds really sweet!" Miki said. "I can't wait to meet her!"

Cage giggles. "I'm sorry! Ben doesn't like me telling everyone about her. Because if someone wrong figured out she was close to us she could be in trouble."
Violet smiles. "And he knew you'd want to meet her."
Kissa leans forward, hissing creepily. "Is she pretty?"
Cage scoots away from her. "Geez. Yeah, I think she's pretty??"

"But we're family!" Silver whined. "It's not like we talk to anyone else anyway. If I had a boyfriend–well, I have Gabe but–I would tell y'all right away!"
Miki giggled and gave Silver a shove. "Okay, let it go, he told us now. And hopefully we can meet her soon!"

Cage giggles. "You and Gabe? He doesn't count. Right Gabe?" He looks around them to see that Gabriel has turned himself invisible.
"What does she look like, show me!" Kissa whined.
Cage huffs, pulling out his phone and finding a picture. He hands it off to the girls. "She's cute, right?"
Kissa hands the phone to Silver in disgust. "Eugh, I already hate her." She mumbles.
Cage shrugs. "It was bound to happen eventually."

(Imma get a photo of her for you)

Silver laughed, her own cheeks turning slightly pink when she realized Gabe was gone. "Gabe does TOO count, even if he's not my boyfriend."
"AWWWWW" Miki cried. "She's adorable!!!! I need to squish her."

"I know!" Cage squeals. "And she's so sweet. She can be overwhelmed easily though so don't scare her haha."
Kissa raises an eyebrow. "She's easily overwhelmed, but she's with you? Not a great idea."

"Oh boy. Yeah we might be a lot for her." Silver said. "But we can be good if we try."
"We just have to remember to try." Miki said. "Sil, you have to convince Ben to let her come over."
"What? Why me? Ben doesn't listen to me. The only person he might listen to is Vi."

Kissa groans. sinking back into her chair and Gabriel's arms. "Ugh, these kids." She growls under her breath.
Cage giggles. "I wont talk to him much about it, otherwise he'll say no. Vi will you ask?"
She nods. "Yes yes, I'll make sure she can come."
He squeals. "Ah, you're the best!"

"Yuuuuuuuuus" Miki cheered.
Silver turned around to look at Gabe (idek where they're all sitting whatev.). "Hey, do you need anything else while we're at the store? Besides ice cream?"

(make them get to the store now maybe?)

Gabriel gives a small shrug, shaking his head.
No, I'm fine.
Violet pulls the car into the small grocery stores parking lot. "Alrighty. I'm going to grab a few necessities. You guys have fifteen minutes to get what you need."
Cage unbuckles. "You got it!" He climbs out of the car.

"I'll stay here." Silver said as Miki unbuckled. In Miki's ear she whispered, "Get Gabriel some snacks. I don't think he has any left at the house."
Miki nodded and followed Cage out of the car, her shopping list in hand. "Let's go, Cage, we gotta hurry!"

Kissa leans into Gabriel and he runs his fingers through her hair. She closes her eyes and sighs.
A smile crosses his face and he leans back, his head resting on the seats head piece (forget what that's called).
He looks to Silver, blinking once.
My girls

Cage bounces inside with Miki. "eeeeee! I can't wait for you guys to meet Robby! She's so sweet. What if we make donut ice cream?"

Silver watched the rest of them go and once they were out of sight in the store, she glanced back at Gabe. He was watching her with his perpetually sleepy eyes. After a moment's hesitation she clamored back to his seat and curled up on the other side of him than Kissa.

"Oh my goodness yeeees." Miki said. "Man, we might end up with like ten gallons of ice cream. So need… sushi, bacon, trail mix, donuts… I think we're missing one. And then just milk and cream and…" she paused, striding down an aisle. "Cage, do you know ice cream is actually made? Cuz I don't."

Cage shrugs, “Eh, I’ll google it. Anyways, maybe Ben knows. He makes food a lot.” He strolls down the isle. “AH! Miki! They have pumpkin donuts!!!”

Gabriel slips his arm around Silver and sighs, leaning his head on hers. Kissa lays her head in his lap, her eyes shut and her breathing quiet.

Miki nodded. "Okay, that'll work. YES pumpkin donut ice cream! Get those ones." she handled him a donut box and headed for the milk section.

Silver sighed, snuggling into him and closing her eyes as she felt the weight of his head leaning on hers.

Cage grabs a package of trail mix as they head to the milk section. “You you think we should get one with lots of seeds?” He asks, looking over the ingredients.

Violet scans her things, paying for it and bagging it up. She holds her phone between her shoulder and cheek. “No no, Ben. The white one. Get the white one. Yes. She’ll like it better.” She picks up a few bags and repositions to hold the phone with her hand. “Yes, Love. Okay. Make sure you grab Gabriel one too.”

Miki glanced over his shoulder. "He likes nuts and raisins and fruit so… I don't know maybe? Gabe eats such weird stuff." She grabbed a gallon of milk and a carton of cream. "Bacon and sushi next. I don't know how to shop for sushi so you can figure that out, Cage. I'd probably get something nasty."

Cage beams, bouncing a little. “I love sushi. Spider Rolls are amazing.”
He looks over the small selection of sushi, picking one out. “Here. This’ll do.”

“No, Rachel said she won’t need me again till-“ she pauses as a young man offers to carry her bags. She smiles. “Oh yes. Thank you so much, Dear.”
She turns her attention back to the phone as she walks. “He offered to carry my things. Oh calm down. I’ll be home soon. Bye.” She hangs up and instructs the man to set the bags beside the car.

"Spider Rolls?" Miki asked. "Who names food spider rolls?" She grabbed a package of bacon and headed for the cash registers. "I think we need to hurry. Violet's probably done."

Silver started, her eyes flying open when she felt the grocer set the bags on the ground beside the back tire. She put her hand on Gabriel's leg, hoping he wouldn't jump too.

Cage shrugs. "They taste good and that's what matters." He scans them along with the trail mix.

Violet opens the trunk, setting the bags inside. She winces after seeing them asleep inside.
"Sorry!" She whispers apologetically.

Miki paid for their food and grabbed two bags, heading out to the car.

Silver nodded to Violet and put her finger to her lips.

"Hey, Vi!" Miki called, running up to the van before Violet could close the back. "We made it in time." She tossed her bags in the back and waved to Silver. "Hey Sil-"

"SHH" Silver hissed, carrying the sound straight to Miki's ears. She glared at her sister and pointed toward Gabe's sleeping head.
