Alice looked at the younger girl for a few seconds, then giggled suddenly.
"She does have a point, you know." Jeremy muttered, wondering how he was going to keep Alice out of his way with only one hand free.
The fangirl smirked. "My mom dresses like this sometimes, too."
Jeremy sighed. "Why was I expecting something like that..."
Then he noticed Natalia's smile.
Damnit, that's never a good sign.
"You think?" his Author asked. His voice was accompanied by a strange, faint humming sound.
And what's THAT? Jeremy asked, wondering if he really wanted to know the answer.
"That's my Gamecube. You think I'm gonna let torturing you get in the way of my SoAL fix?"
Jeremy resisted the urge to snort, and turned to give Natalia a wary look.
Her smirk never wavered, and she commented, "Hee hee, Jeremy was just on his way to buy Jeanine a cherry flavored sno-cone. Such a kind and sweet young man he is. Why if he weren't so obviously wasn't taken by you... hm."
Alice glanced at Jeremy (or at least the side of his face she could see easily) and asked, "Really?"
The psionist didn't respond, and merely glared at Natalia.
Alice looked at Jeanine again, seeming to ponder something. Then she turned to Natalia and said, "You know, I don't really mind threesomes anyway."
This, naturally, went right over the little girl's head. "Huh?"
"Nevermind her," Jeremy said quickly, giving Alice a dirty look (not as in horny, you bakas), before turning back to Jeanine. "Okay, I'll get you a sno-cone too, but I don't have any money with me right now. Remember how I was swimming? It's a bad idea to bring money with you when you're swimming - it's easier to lose it. My money's in my room at the hotel - I'll go get it, then come back in a few minutes, okay?"
"You ARE good with kids." Alice muttered in a voice only Jeremy could hear.
"Okay, Jerry-chan." Jeanine said, still sounding confused at what Alice had said earlier.
Jeremy winced; he didn't want another person using Alice's pet name for him (heck, he was pretty sure he didn't want ALICE using it), but he wanted even less to stand around on the beach with defective swimming trunks and Alice hanging off of him, so the psionist replied, "Right. See you later," and tried to run towards the hotel, bogged down slightly by Alice.
