Baby, You Light Up My World Like Nobody Else

"Come on, Cheryl," Blaine called softly, tugging on his daughter's hand. The five-year-old was dressed in a tomato-print dress, and sandles. Her hair was tied in a messy braid; something Blaine had learned to do from his ex-girlfriend. He himself was dressed in a graphic tee with a radio printed on it, and cargo shorts. Cheryl seemed exceptionally happy to be at the park, considering they spent the whole day yesterday in the house - the heat had been much to great. But today was different. The sun was out and there was a soft breeze in the air, undoubtedly making it a perfect 'outside-day', as Blaine called it. "I wanna play on the monkey bars." she giggled, British accent thick. Quickly she climbed up the steps and clutched the bars, swinging herself to the next. "Good job, Cheryl." Blaine laughed, watching his daughter with pride. I guess your gymnastics lessons really do pay off, he thought with a chuckle.

The weekend was here, and Jayde finally managed to get a day off to spend with her five year old son. "Momma, come on!" The little red-headed boy shouted, as he continued yanking on his mother's hand to go faster. "I wanna go on the slide! On my tummy even!" he shouted again, hopping on his toes more so than before.
"Alright, hold on, Kam." Jayde told her son, jogging a little faster toward the playground before finally letting Kameron free from her grasp and let him run off onto the playground. She watched him climb up to the top of the slide, meeting him at the bottom of it.
"Look out below!!!" Kameron shouted before sliding all the way down on his stomach, not letting his smile fade away even once, even after he landed with a small 'oof' on the ground. "Again! Again!" he shouted, bouncing back up to his feet again with his mother's help and climbed back up to the top to repeat the circuit.
"Careful, Kam! I don't want you to be falling now..." she called to her son again, like the worry wart of a mother she was to him. The last thing she wanted was for her only son to be hurt.

Cheryl jumped off of the monkey bars, landing on her feet, but falling to her knees. Quickly getting up, she ran to the slide, carefully climbing up the ladder. Blaine followed her, giving her an extra push to get off the ladder. He smiled at the other woman near the slide, with bright red hair and freckles. "Your son is cute." he said, "He looks a lot like you."

Lining up behind a ginger boy, who was around her age, Cheryl suddenly was curious about him. He seemed very excited to go down the slide. "Hi there!" she said cheerfully, tapping him twice on the back. "I'm Cheryl!" Without hesitation, she reached out and touched his hair. "I like your hair!"

Jayde's eyes refocused on another duo at the park, of what seemed like a father and daughter having a good time too. She smiled at the guy's compliment. "Thanks. You're daughter is really cute, too." she complimented him back, glancing over to Kameron again, then back to the older guy. "So are you guys taking it easy today, too?"

Just by the tap on the back, Kameron nearly jumped, catching himself again before he fell down the slide accidentally. "Oh..." he started to say, rather shyly, when she started touching his hair. "Um..thanks?" he questioned, rather than saying with a bigger smile. Kameron wasn't usually the sociable type. He normally preferred playing by himself or with his mommy. But this girl seemed nice. She complimented his hair for crying out loud! Most kids would either not even notice it, or call him a carrot top or something. "Um, I'm Kameron. You wanna slide with me?"

[Avelino!]

"Yeah." Blaine nodded; they had spent all yesterday unpacking. Too hot to go outside. "We've actually just moved here." which explained the British accent. He couldn't help but smile when Jayde said his daughter was cute, too. "Thanks." he looked up at his daughter, who was already trying to make new friends. "I think she takes after her mother." he didn't mention her mother any further; she had left them a long time ago. Even Cheryl didn't like talking about her. Turning back to the woman, he introduced himself. "Blaine Barnes," he offered his hand for a shake. "Nice to meet you."

Cheryl giggled at his shyness. "You're welcome." she was still playing with his hair. She liked the bright, orangeness of it and all. "Sure!"

[Tori]

"Oh, really now?" Jayde said in such a shocking tone. "We've lived here for a while now. Almost a year, actually. So not too long, but long enough, you know?" Jayde explained, glancing over to the kids again, just to check to see how Kameron was handling making a new friend. She smiled wider then when she overheard the guy, known as Blaine, introduce himself. Jayde shook his hand in return before responding back with her own name. "Jayde Fitzgerald. It's good to meet you too, Blaine."

Kameron's shyness was still acting up a bit when the little girl kept playing with his hair. He wasn't used to that kind of interaction with others. Let alone with girls around his age. He smiled though, when she agreed to slide down with him, and led her back to the slide to plop back on his butt before pushing himself down to the ground, landing in another 'oof' as he hit the ground.
