Henry rubbed his head, placing the order quickly and coming back, a half glare on his face.

Babe hadn't eaten the piece of pizza, but she had stolen every single pepperoni off his slice. She smiled innocently up at him, lifting a hand in a wave.

Henry shook his head ruefully. "Take it- it's a disgusting blob now." He sat down quickly taking a deep breath and checking his watch.

"You're so dramatic." Babe said, snorting as she tossed a pepperoni at him before leaning back. "It's still the same piece of pizza, just without the processed mystery meat."

"It's pepperoni, the magical sausage slice. Don't ruin my illusions." He sighed and put each piece back on the pizza slice before lifting it to start eating it.

"But that's the only thing I'm good at." She complained dramatically, slouching more in her seat as she grinned.

Henry sighed deeply. "Do you want my pepperoni?" He asked, halfway through his slice.

"Nah, I like bacon more." Babe said, looking around the pizza place once more. This time, she seemed a bit more focused on the other patrons. "I just wanted to see what your reaction would be if I took them."

"Good, because I wasn't going to give you them anyway." He finished his slice and rested his head on his hands to watch her closely.

"So grumpy." She singsonged with a smile, continuing to watch the restaurant's patrons. She'd finally gotten quiet, at last finding something that managed to take up her attention for a bit.

Henry got up to get their second pizza, and on his way back followed her line of vision. He studied her for a moment and set down the pizza, turning to look in the same direction she was.

"That woman there, with the handful of kids?" Babe said, nodding her head in the direction of said woman trying to wrangle four kids, as she turned to take another piece of pizza. "She's having marital problems. My guess is filing for divorce."

Henry raised an eyebrow. "You know her? Or just being a detective?" He took another pizza as well and pretended not to look over at the woman again.

"Never met her in my life." Babe said, happily chowing down on her piece of pizza. "She keeps looking at her purse, the way one does when waiting for an important phonecall. Then there's the ring."

Henry nodded slowly as he started to notice what she was talking about. "We'll get you a pipe and call you Sherlock."

"Tobacco tastes bad." Babe said matter-of-factly, though her lips quirked up in a grin. "I'd look hella good in a trenchcoat though. We should partner for Halloween! I could be Holmes, and you could be Watson!"

"What if I want to be Holmes?" Henry asked with a grin, only slightly offended she would consider him Watson."

"You just called me Holmes." Babe pointed out, as though it was obvious. "So you kinda already agreed, and it was basically your idea."

"We'll see. Maybe I'll think of something better." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you still do the whole walking around for candy thing?"

"You bet." She nodded, grinning. "I take the younger kids out for trick-or-treating, and some of their friends, usually. Kai doesn't trick-or-treat, but I bring him candy, and then go to some sort of party with Rico."

"Oh, not the dreaded Halloween parties. Some people in school get waaaaaaaay too into them." He shook his head sadly. "If you want to have fun, we should go down to the warehouses. The seniors get together and rig the whole thing, and leave it up for anyone brave enough to go."
