Jimmy excitedly ran toward Joel and Lizzie’s house on the new off server world that Grian made
“Scott!! Scott!!” He yelled at his caregiver to hurry up, tugging on the elder’s sleeve. “We gon be wate!!”
Scott smiled at his little, knocking on the front door.
“BOO!” Scar whisper-yelled into Scotts ear, startling the star-born and making him jump.
“Scar!” Grian admonished from behind him. “We don’t scare our friends! Look at poor Timmy”
Jimmy looked a bit upset at Scott’s scare but excited about seeing Scar. “Hi Scar!!” the little giggled grabbing the brunette’s hand “Lets go inside!!”
Lizzie appeared at the door just as Jimmy spoke. “Hey guys!” she grinned. “come on in! Joel’s in the playroom”
Jimmy grinned back and began to drag Scar into the house, being careful with him knowing that he was only wearing braces.
When they arrived, Joel was in the room colouring.
“Jim! Scar! Ova hewe!” Joel shouted as the two stumbled in.
"Joel!!" Scar smiled as he sat down. "Can we colour too?"
Joel nodded as he slid a fairy colouring book and a my little pony colouring book towards the elf and avian respectively.
Joel grabbed a crayon and began to colour his own book.
"Joel! Thats not how you is supposeded to do dat!" Jimmy stated matter of factly
"How do you know that?" Scar questioned the blonde
"I just know" Jimmy nodded solemnly.
"Bu Jim i wan do it this way" Joel
frowned at the avian
Jimmy stared at the faerie before reluctantly nodding "Okay i guess"
Joel grinned "Heck yeah!" the brunette exclamed
Scar gasped. "Joel! you cant say dat" he shrieked
"I do wha i wan" Joel replied with a small frown
"But u will get in twouble and then Lizzie be mad at u and den never love u again" Jimmy yelled at the smaller
"Scar is he lying? Pease be not twue" Joel cried
"I dunno Joel, it is very bad to say that." Scar admonished the mentally youngest
"Im sowwy jimmy my wont do it eber adain i was just happy and excited and reawwy reawwy happy" Joel sobbed, his mental age dropping rapidly
"Uh oh-" Jimmy stared at the sobbing little "I go get Lizzie"
After a few seconds, the blonde ran back into the room with the three caregivers in tow
"Joel baby" Lizzie crouched down so she was on his level, "Why are you crying?"
"C-cause i said heck a- ndd yoo woont luv me n y mor because I wa s means" Joel bawled
Lizzie brought the shorter over until he was leaning on her shoulder. "It's okay beans" she comforted him "I still love you lots."
"NO!" Jimmy and Scar shrieked
"She's Lying"
Grian and Scott shared a look before grabbing their littles and taking them out of the room so Lizzie and Joel could talk.
"How old are you feeling? Jimmy, Scar?" Grian asked the two after taking them into the kitchen.
"7" Jimmy responded with a small frown, noticing Grian didn't call him Timmy.
Scar held up a hand with all 5 fingers splayed out "Six" he exclaimed proudly. Grian smiled before grabbing his other hand and putting up one finger
"Okay. Joel is way littler than you today and you weren't very responsible." Scott softly reprimanded the littles, the sound of Joel's sniffles still heard in the kitchen.
"Oh" Jimmy replied softly, looking into the playroom. Lizzie seemed to have been able to calm him down for the most part, silent tears rolling down his face.
Scar looked up from where he was picking at his fingers "Jim i think we were being a bit tooo mean to Joel."
Scott and Grian looked at Jimmy to see what his reply would be.
"But Joel was being a bad boy Scar" Jimmy retorted.
Scott just sighed and brought the two littles back into the playroom after Lizzie shot him a thumbs up.
Joel looked up when Jimmy and Scar reentered "I wasn bein ba u was bein mean to me i was just twy n to hab fun" he began to tear up again.
"Sorry Joel" Scar replied softly.
"Yeah me too" Jimmy agreed.
Joel smiled shakily "I fo giv yous"
Lizzie smiled "Alright boys time for bed"
The two older boys climbed into the massive bed in the playroom designed for cuddle sessions like this.
At the end of the day, the 6 of them would need to talk about how to treat eachother when small, but because it was their first in person playdate, all was well.
