[Milliways] OOM: Flat 007

[his_sarah_jane]

Everything looks set to Sarah Jane as she stands in the living room of her Milliways flat. An old blanket has been spread across the floor in front of her. On it rests a small box (turned upside down as a makeshift table) and a collection of various arts and crafts supply that she purchased from Bar a few days ago. It's not hard to miss all the crayons or markers or stickers or glitter or glue or paper. Not too far away in the kitchen is a pitcher of milk and some chocolate chip cookies - the cookies also Bar provided.

This should be everything, she thinks to herself for the umpteenth time, also vaguely wondering why she's gone to all this effort in the first place. Sarah has never been fond of children, but something about this girl has seemed to charm her. Now, all she needs is for Allana to show up. Hopefully, she would have received the note left with Bar and found her way here.

"He is," she answers fondly. "I'm very lucky to have him."

Despite all of the uncertainties and strangenesses of the relationship, she wouldn't trade any bit. She loves him too much. It shows in her eyes.

Allana turns a little pinkish at the look on Sarah's face and her words. "Is he coming to the tea party?"

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"I certainly hope so. Even if I have to drag him to it."

At the very least, he'll be getting an invitation. Sarah Jane doesn't want to deal with a James-sans-invitation.

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Cool." She nods. "I'm gonna invite Miss Shalla, Kick, Miss Plourr...an' Mister Death. Maybe Mister Will or Miss Sariel too."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Sarah nods, leading Allana out of her room and towards the kitchen. There, she helps her on to one of the chairs and pushes the plate of biscuits towards her. Sarah pours each of them a glass of milk (feeling a little too lazy to make tea at the moment) and begins to write down Allana's list.

"If this is the same Will we're talking about, I believe I know him. Mister Death as well." She pauses, tapping the pen on the table as she thinks it over. "Well, aside from James, I was thinking of a boy I know, Santi. He's a bit older than you, but a very nice child. And then there's the Doctor, Sam, John, and Barbara. All very lovely people. Anyone else, Allana?"

"Uhhhm. Maybe we should make a few extwa invitations in case I meet someone else that I weally want to come." Just in case.

Because Allana is a little social butterfly!

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Sarah laughs. "I think we can manage that."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"And we have to wear hats! Pwetty ones." She nods.

This is very important.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Well then. It has to be taken in all due consideration.

"Do you want the guests to bring their own or are we going to provide them?"

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Hmm. We can pwovide some if needed, maybe." She says, very Grown Up Like. "But twy to bwing their own."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Sarah nods, jolting this down into her notebook. "Anything else to add, Miss Allana?"

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Uhm. Tea, of course. Your kind of tea, and maybe I can get some tea from home. An' cookies."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"Of course. It's not a tea party without tea."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Or cookies." Allana nods. "Ima pick some fwowers and bwing them here."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

She notes the flowers on her list. "Would you like any other decorations to go with them?"

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"I'll bwing my tea set too. We'll need more than one," She says after thinking for a moment.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"And I'll make sure to get an extra one from Bar," she notes. "I'm afraid the one I have is really only good for two people."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Mine is for four. Usually my stuffed aminals and me. Sometimes Mama. Sometimes the secretaries."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"It sounds like fun," Sarah replies with a soft smile. "Perhaps I'll get two extra sets from Bar then."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Allana nods, sipping at her milk with a big grin.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"And when we're done with milk and cookies, we'll start the invitations. I'd rather stick to making as little mess as possible, thank you." For good measure, she stuck her tongue out at Allana and laughed. "The last thing James needs to come home to is a rug full of crumbs."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

Allana giggles at her tongue sticking-outtage and makes a face back to her.

It involves fingers in ears.

"A wug full of cwumbs bweings bugs." She says solemnly.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"Which he wouldn't like at all," she declares, chuckling herself. "Now come on, finish up."

[hapan-heiress.livejournal.com]

Allana crams a few cookies in her mouth and drinks some more milk. "All done!"
