MCA#0, Sunday Night

[needsaparrot]

You'd think two days of monster-hunting, junk-food-eating and playing Power Rangers would wear out a pretty small five year old, right?

Riiiiiight.

"Do I haaaaaave to?" Bridge says.

[needsaparrot]

"Kinda yeah. It's this whole thing where human-type people need sleep."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But I got LOTS of sleep YESTERDAY," Bridge says petulantly. "Wasn't that enough?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander smothers a grin. "No, you have to sleep every day."

"Whaifmnotsleepy?" Bridge says this all in a rush. Mostly in an attempt to stave off a yawn. It doesn't work.

[needsaparrot]

"Hmm. Well, I have to sleep every day. And I'm sleepy. Maybe you should tell me a story so I can go to sleep."

Xander has the couch folded out and piles of pillows and blankets on it, because even if the circumstances aren't quite the same anymore, he remembers how things were when he was the one waking up from being little.

"Kay," Bridge says, after thinking this over. "But you gotsa come sit next to me okay?" He scrambles up on the couch.

[needsaparrot]

"Okay," Xander agrees, sitting down and grabbing a blanket. And Notzilla.

And Bridge shifts around till he's leaning against Xander. Ted the Giraffe is, of course, with him. "Once upon a time there was a g'raffe an' his best friend was a frog and they eated pancakes and cotton candies and went 'trolling for badmonsters..." Bridge trails off, blinking sleepily.

"Did they find any?" Xander does a little blanket-rearranging so tha it covers both of them. Or rather, all four of them.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yes and they fighted them in giant robots," Bridge continues. "And then they went home and had cookies but the frog was all tired cause it had been a long long day so he got ready for bed and then the g'raffe said night I love you and ..." Bridge doesn't actually finish the story because he's drifted off to sleep.

"That's a good story," Xander says softly, tightening his arm around Bridge. "Night. I love you."
