They were an odd bunch of friends. Three of them had fallen through from other universes, unsure of how that had happened and how to fix it if that were even possible, and the other was a demon older than the Earth they were stood on. They weren't exactly a good 'adult' for the group. Crowley was too snake and demon like. Rose was probably the best bet after them, but she had gone from living on the estates with her mum, to travelling time and space with an alien she was falling in love with, to being in a different universe and certainly wasn't prepared to adult. Percy could be the group adult, but she was a recovering child soldier and had just lost their long time love and was a little focused on trying to get back to her. Peter was, well legally not an adult yet, also basically a child soldier, and continuously panicked about something or other.
There wasn't actually a good, responsible, adult in their group. That could have been how the four of them had ended up in Crowley's Bentley, screaming along to Queen together. They'd wanted to scream along to a mix that Rose had made, which had admittedly included some Queen songs, but they'd left it in the Bentley for two weeks. Best of Queen it was.
"Where are we going on this date anyway?" Peter asked, laughing. Crowley rolled his eyes, but the other two laughed along.
"Yeah, where are you taking us?" Percy asked, poking the demon. The first time Percy had met Crowley he'd pulled Riptide on him. It was understandable really. He'd just appeared in a strange alleyway, not sure how he'd gotten there, and there Crowley had been, snake eyes and tongue and all. They'd gotten over the rocky start pretty quickly when Peter had crashed down from nowhere between them.
"I hate you all," Crowley informed them with the faintest of smiles.
"Hey!" Rose said. "What did I do?" The Demon shrugged and grinned slightly. It was almost eerie, but they were used to him.
"You're always doing something," Peter said. Percy laughed at that and she huffed.
"No being grumpy on date day," Percy said, shifting in the front seat to look at her. Rose grinned at him and laughed. Percy had all three bracelets on that day. The green for masculine terms, the blue for feminine terms, and the purple for neutral terms. Crowley, after seeing Percy do it, had taken up a similar thing. Orange for neutral, yellow for masculine, and red for feminine. They were only visible to the people he wanted them to be visible to though.
"This date," Crowley said, practically hissing the word, "is to the museum."
"Boring, been there done that, didn't get a t-shirt and don't want to go back for one," Rose said. Peter laughed beside her.
"Will I have to read information? I don't want to do that," Percy said. Crowley sighed.
"Is it a science museum?" Peter asked. Crowley sighed again.
"Nope, no more museum. I'm going taking us to a restaurant or some shit," Crowley said, speeding the car up. They had already been speeding, but they'd all gotten used to Crowley's driving already. Rose rolled her eyes and returned to belting out Queen. Percy and Peter joined in. When Bohemian Rhapsody started up Crowley joined in too and Peter cheered.
Rose wasn't sure what to expect when she had first arrived in this universe, interrupting Percy (wielding a sword) arguing with Crowley (in all his snake demon glory) while Peter (stuck to the alleyway wall in a bright spandex costume) asked questions spanning from excited to scared and back again in moments. Whatever she could have imagined, it wouldn't have been this. The four of them forming a strange sort of friendship that defied universe, sitting in a half sentient car singing (more screaming) Queen songs together. It hadn't been the four of them, in all their impossibilty in each others eyes, sharing a friendship that meant so much.
"Rose," Percy said, turning in her seat.
"Yeah," she said, smiling at him.
"Don't spill your drink on yourself again," they said. Rose stuck her tongue out at him while flipping her off. It had happened once. Once she had laughed so hard at something Crowley and Peter had said that she'd spilt her drink on herself and Percy had been kind enough to use their water-bending godly powers to clean up her shirt. It had been a little odd to watch, but she'd really appreciated it. Peter found his comment funny though, because he was laughing. Crowley rolled his eyes and sighed.
It was fun though. The four of them sat in a car going far faster than was humanly safe or legal. Good thing their driver wasn't human, and could probably keep them safe. There was a joy Rose couldn't imagine finding anywhere else as she screamed Queen songs with three people she never should have met.
