Room 324, Saturday Morning

[vanillajello]

Kate was a Prom Queen. That... had just come out of nowhere, and made her very giddy and happy for the rest of the evening. The cherry on top of an already fantastic senior prom night.

And Kate was still happy when she woke up on Saturday morning, oblivious to any obvious changes that had happened overnight. Sure, there were probably other interesting things in the room as well, but the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was the tiara on the nightstand, and it wasn't more than half a minute until she'd grabbed it and perched it on top of her head before standing up on the bed and declaring, loudly, to no one in particular, "Imma queen!"

Really, she probably would've done that even if she had been about ten years older like she was supposed to be.

Bod had not been shrunk down overnight. He'd gone to sleep in his shirt and shorts (thankfully) and was now being awakened by...a unfamiliar voice. Blinking his eyes open a touch, he looked around the room.

"Kate?" he mumbled, still barely awake.

[vanillajello]

Oh, hey, she wasn't alone. Kate promptly turned around and dropped onto her knees on the bed beside him. "Bod!" she exclaimed far too excitedly, shoving at his side with her tiny hands. "Wake up, Boddybod!"

[therewaslife]

...Boddybod?

That got him up a little quicker. Eyes focusing on the child beside him, his sleepy brain provided the easiest solution.

"You're tiny."

[vanillajello]

"And you're big," Kate pointed out with a laugh, poking his side with a finger. "Duh."

[therewaslife]

Bod grumbled silently though it was directed at the island and not her. "I am big. How old are we today, Kate? You look...about ten?"

[vanillajello]

Now, Kate was actually a little over seven, but older was better, right? "Uh huh," she said, nodding very seriously like the little liar she was. "'M ten."

She held up her hands to show him all eight fingers and two thumbs. Ten, yes, that's what she was.

[therewaslife]

"Congratulations," Bod said, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. He was so glad to have put clothes on before he'd fallen asleep. "Why are you awake so early?"

[vanillajello]

"Because it's Saturday morning," Kate replied, like it was obvious. It'd be a few more years until she'd start appreciating the concept of sleeping in. "And I'm a queen!"

[therewaslife]

"You are a queen," he said, unable not to smile at that. "And what do queens usually do this early in the morning?"

[vanillajello]

"Breffast!" Yeah, he'd just have to deal with the fact that she was a loud little person. "But queens dun make it, they eat it. And it's ice cream!"

[therewaslife]

"Ice cream isn't very good for breakfast, though," Bod pointed out, shaking his head. "That's more of a dessert food, Kate."

[vanillajello]

Such booooring grownup talk. Kate rolled her eyes. "Who cares? I'm a queen, I can have dessert for breakfast."

Of course, if he didn't want to be dealing with a tiny queen with a stomach ache later on...

[therewaslife]

"And who's going to get you the ice cream?" Bod asked, raising an eyebrow. "You?"

[vanillajello]

"No, dummy," Kate scoffed. "You are. Cuz I'm a queen, and you're not."

[therewaslife]

"I am?" Bod asked, raising an eyebrow. "And how are you going to make me get you ice cream?"

[vanillajello]

"... By ordering you to," Kate decided after a moment to ponder that. "'Cause I have a crooown."

And she emphasized that word by readjusting the tiara on her head, and smiling wide.

[therewaslife]

"But, I'm English," Bod pointed out, laughing. "I don't think you're at the head of my monarchy, Kate."

[vanillajello]

"But this is my room!" Kate replied, making a slightly uncoordinated, one-armed gesture at the room. "This is my monararchy."

That was totally how you said that word.

[therewaslife]

"...I don't know if I'm convinced," Bod said, shaking his head. "When I went to sleep, I was under a different monarchy and now you're saying you're the boss?"

[vanillajello]

"Yes!" Kate replied, glad to see he was catching up. Or at least it seemed so to her. "And now I'm the queen and you do as I say!"

[therewaslife]

"You can't even ask nicely?" Bod wondered, raising an eyebrow at that bossiness.

[vanillajello]

Really, had he been expecting something other than bossiness? This was still Kate, after all.

And she was sticking her bottom lip out at him now. "Pleeeeeeeease?" He should cherish that: even Eric the viking giant wasn't going to manage to wring the word out of her, later in the day.

[therewaslife]

"All right," he sighed, finally pushing himself out of bed and reaching for her hand. "Let's take a walk down to the common room to see if there's any down there and we'll come back, all right?"

[vanillajello]

"Okay!" Kate slid off the bed and happily took his hand. "I hope there's ice cream. Ooh, or pudding cups!"

[therewaslife]

"You can't have them both," Bod decided, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and walking them both towards the door. "One or the other, all right?"
