"Well, you can count on that, believe me." he grinned with the slightest chuckle slipping out. "Well then, I guess I should get going. I'm sure I've wasted enough of your time already. So, I'll see you tomorrow." he simply waved, and slid on into his car, buckling himself in and starting the car. He rolled down the windows then, calling out to Madison, "And I promise I won't be late again tomorrow. You have my word."

"Yeah, you have actually wasted enough of my time," Madison replied with as polite of a smile as possible. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. I'm sure you'll be on time." She waved once more to Brooklyn and turned around to walk back to her car. Yeah, I doubt his word means much.... As she reached her car, she got out her cell phone and texted Morgan. Since she had pretty much missed her class, she figured that an impromptu dinner with her little sister would probably cheer her up.

David nodded at their goodbyes, and started off just as Madison did the same. But before David could even think about leaving the parking lot, an idea hit him. "Hey Brooklyn, how would you like it if Madison joined us for some ice cream?" The little girls face beamed with excitement. "Oo~ Yeah! Maddie comes too!" she shrieked, clapping her hands with excitement. And David turned the car around and rolled back over to Madison who was still standing outside of her car.
"Hey, er, Madison?" he called out, stopping himself from copying his daughter by calling her Maddie, "Brooklyn and I were wondering if you wanted to get some ice cream with us." As Brooklyn sat in the back seat, squirming in excitement, her face almost looking as if she were giving Madison the puppy dog pout.

Madison was about to get in her car and drive to her sister's dorm when she heard David pull up next to her. Now what the hell does he want now? She was about to say the exact same thing out loud until she remembered that she was within earshot of a three year old. Several times she had learned the hard way that three year old kids were excellent at picking out the worst possible word in a sentence to repeat over and over again. She shuddered as she pictured Brooklyn running into the classroom the next day and yelling out "hell" really loud.
"Really? You and Brooklyn were wondering?" she asked, half believing him. Great, another one of those fathers that uses his kids to get into other girls pants...... She was about to call him out on it when she caught a glimpse of Brooklyn bouncing up and down excitedly in the back seat. Maybe he was telling the truth after all.....either that or Brooklyn's one hell of a little actress..... Her cell phone went off just then, alerting her to a response from Morgan. A frown crossed her face as she glanced at the message, politely informing her that Morgan had plans with her boyfriend for the evening. She sighed and looked up at David. "Alright," she said a little reluctantly. "I'll meet you over there."

"Well, yeah." David chuckled, "I mean, if you're not already busy that is." He didn't want to seem like he was being too forward or flirty or anything, he just thought it would be nice to get to know his daughter's teacher a little more, and perhaps see how Brooklyn was doing in school. Kind of like a parent-teacher conference sort of thing. However, he did have to admit she was pretty damn cute. Despite her false attitude toward him.
So he was pretty ecstatic when she agreed to meet them there. "Oh, cool. See you there then." he grinned, giving a small wave before finally driving off to the ice cream shop.

A little confused about what just happened, Madison got in her car, started it up, and began heading towards the ice cream shop. Even though she had been living in Riverside for almost a year now, this was her first time going out for ice cream. She couldn't figure out why; she loved junk food. She and Morgan practically lived at the Maggie Moos back home and also enjoyed going out for ice cream while they lived in Mabtown. Yet for some reason, it had never occurred to her to find an ice cream place here for the two of them to hang out at. I wonder HeuSeoh ever took her out for ice cream, she thought to herself.
Thanks to her somewhat trusty GPS, she arrived at the ice cream shop about ten minutes later. She got out the car and waited for Brooklyn and David, wondering if she should stick around and spoil her dinner or if she should just sneak back to her dorm room and save her sanity.

David headed out onto the streets, occasionally looking back at Brooklyn dancing in her seat excitedly before finally making it to the ice cream shop in no less than ten minutes or so. He quickly spotted Madison there, literally just parking her car in a spot as well, and getting out. He gave her a small wave letting her know they were right behind her, and parked about two cars away from her own.
As soon as David unbuckled Brooklyn from her seat, Brooklyn unleashed herself from David's hold, landing onto the sidewalk and rushing over to Madison, letting most of that hyper-ness in her escape. "Hi Maddie!" she squealed, quickly hugging her leg before tugging her to follow her in the ice cream parlor where David was waving from. "Glad you could make it." David said simply with a smile, holding the door open for the two girls.

"Hi there Brooklyn!" Madison grabbed Brooklyn's hand and headed into the ice cream shop. She waved politely at David, flashing him a half-smile in the process. "Thanks for inviting me," she said as she walked through the open door. Geez, I can open my own damned door.....I'm not helpless.... Attempting to calm down, she took a deep breath and smiled even wider. He may have caused her to miss her class, but he did help her clean up the classroom and invited her out for ice cream. The rules of etiquette required that she at least be polite to him in return.
Not only that, but Brooklyn was absolutely adorable. She reminded Madison a lot of Morgan. Since Morgan had pretty much blown her off for the evening, Brooklyn seemed like the perfect substitute to keep Madison from missing her sister. Still smiling, she knelt down to Brooklyn's level and asked, "So what kind of ice cream are going to get?"

David nodded back a simple grin towards Madison and followed the girls in to the front desk. It seemed like Brooklyn was more bouncy than ever now, actually being inside the ice cream parlor and all. "I wan' stawbewwy!" she squealed, jumping up on her toes. "Alright then, strawberry for you, mint chocolate chip for me...." he turned to Madison then, "What about you, Madison? My treat." he offered, hoping she wouldn't too mind too much that he was paying. Usually, most girls would be all over it whenever the guy offered to pay, but after only knowing Madison for like, twenty minutes, she already seemed different from all the other girls he knew.

Madison laughed as she watched Brooklyn jump up and down excitedly. "Oooooo strawberry's really yummy," she said, looking up at the various ice cream choices. "But I think I'm going to have rocky road and I think I'm going to pay for it all by myself because I'm a grown up and that's what grown ups do." She quickly flashed a look over to David to make sure that he got the message. Even if he was being nice, there was no reason for him to pay for her. The two of them weren't on a date and even if they were, she still would have paid for herself. Letting him pay would mean that she would wind up owing him a favor and she definitely didn't want that scenario to ever occur.

David was pulling out his money just in time to hear what Madison told Brooklyn, which seemed like she was talking more towards David with the way she glanced back at him. Did I do something wrong? he wondered. Sure, he was late with picking up his daughter, but he thought she would at least forgot about that whole incident by now. He nodded back to Madison, showing he heard and understood what she was saying and went ahead and ordered his and Brooklyn's ice creams. A minute later, David was grabbing the two ice creams from the man at the counter and crouching down to hand his daughter her ice cream. Brooklyn grasped the cone with her tiny hands, careful not to spill any of it as she immediately started licking it away. "Come on, Brooklyn, let's go find a place to sit." he told the little girl, who seemed to be struggling to walk and lick at the same time. David glanced back to Madison, giving her a nod to the table he and Brooklyn were heading to, allowing her to come sit with them when she was ready.

Satisfied that David had listened to her, Madison walked up to the counter and ordered her ice cream. As she waited for it, she watched Brooklyn toddle over to her seat carrying her ice cream. She then nodded her head back at David, letting him know that she would sit with them as soon as her ice cream was ready. He didn't seem the least bit upset about the fact that she had refused to let him pay for her. Actually, he hadn't seemed upset at all considering the way she'd been acting all day. Perhaps she should start cutting him some slack. Apart from picking Brooklyn up late, he hadn't really done anything wrong. Plus, it was probably better for Brooklyn to see people getting along instead of fighting. She was at a very intuitive age, one where she could easily imitate other people's behavior. Finally receiving her ice cream cone, she walked over to their table and smiled. "Mmmmm rocky road," she said before taking a long lick off the top.

While David and Brooklyn sat waiting, David already had to wipe up Brooklyn's mouth twice followed by her shirt which she had spilt ice cream on it. He shook his head when Brooklyn continued mushing her frozen treat all over her treat. He had a feeling she was doing it on purpose now. Typical three year olds. He gave a small smile and simple nod when Madison joined with them. "Oo~ Wocky Wode?" Brooklyn squealed, looking over the table to get a glimpse of Madison's treat. "That look good." she smiled, licking her lips of the left over strawberry ice cream she had smothered over her mouth. "Seems like you're enjoying your ice cream too, Brook." David chuckled, tapping her nose which somehow got ice cream on it as well, David licking his finger after. "Mmm...Strawberry..." he licked his lips, while Brooklyn just let out another giggle.

Madison nodded her head and sat down next to Brooklyn. "Yeah, that's right Brooklyn. Rocky Road's really good." She may have been a little off in her pronunciation, but Madison thought that her attempt was pretty good for a three year old. She glanced over at Brooklyn's ice cream covered face and shirt. "Wow, you must really like strawberry ice cream, huh? My little sister loves strawberry ice cream. Actually she loves all kinds of ice cream." She continued licking her ice cream, trying to think of something else constructive to say. "Your daughter is really awesome," she said finally, attempting to be nice to David.

"I like all kind o' ice cweam. Bu' Stwabewwy is my favowite!" Brooklyn squealed, attacking her ice cream with quick little licks again. David chuckled, turning back to Madison when she addressed him finally. "Hm? Oh yeah, she is something, alright." he replied back, which got him a wide, toothy grin from Brooklyn in return; her mouth still being a mess. "So, how old is your sister anyway? I mean, I'm sure Brooklyn wouldn't mind having someone to play with other than her classmates and cousins...if you wouldn't mind, that is."
