Patchverse: New room

[cyberjubes.livejournal.com]

Jubilee walked to and fro, staring at her newly refurbished, very pink, very comfortable room.

Her face portrayed how much these objects meant to her, and she couldn't stop exploring her room, holding the Pikachu plushie while she did, happily touching things. She paused when she sensed something tiny nearby, and got down on her hands and knees.

She peeked under the bed, then giggled when she saw a small brown mouse exploring the cavern.

"Hi there," she said, reaching a hand out to it. The mouse stirred, then turned and peered at her, and she grinned.

"Come on, I won't hurt you," she said, reaching for the mouse again. It creeped a little closer, and she made a soft cooing noise, still clutching her Pikachu. The mouse backed up, and she slowly crawled under the bed and towards it, until only her knees down were poking out.

Logan pushed himself to his feet and walked over to tap on Jubilee's door, then peeked inside and chuckled. "What the heck?"

"Wh- oh, Wolvie!" Jubilee's muffled voice came out. She looked at the mouse and grinned. "I'll come back later."

With that she turned and crawled out, grinning when she saw the man in the doorway, hurrying over to hug him. "Wolvie! Lookit my new room!"

He held her close, sniffing her hair and blinking slightly as he went a little misty-eyed.

Then he looked toward the bed. "You talkin' t' that dang mouse?"

"I think I'm going to call him Arnold," she beamed, then took his hand. "Lookit shelves, Wolvie, they've got all sorts of mythical creatures painted on them!"

"See if ya can't git 'im t' quit chewin' holes in stuff." He looked up and blinked. "Huh."

"I'll try, I promise. What do you think?" she looked up at him, eyes shining for his approval.

[random_xtras]

"Looks good, darlin'." He smiled.

She cheered and hugged him again, grinning.

"Oh thank you, Wolvie, thank you!" she said softly, feeling overwhelmed with love.

He chuckled and looked down at her, his eyes alight with affection, but then started and growled as his watch beeped. "Dangit. I gotta take this, darlin'."

She blinked and looked up, then nodded and let go. "Ok, Wolvie. I understand."

[random_xtras]

"I'll be back as quick as I can. Y' won't be alone though." Unable to even mention his wife's name, this was the only way that he could let his junior partner know that she'd stay with her.

She hugged the Pikachu close and frowned, watching him go.

Going over to the bed she plopped down on it, then looked up at the ceiling.

"What's the good of being a Junior Partner if you never do anything?" she wondered, sighing.
