"Lunch! Lunch!" Faiya chanted, before falling over into giggles again at Victoria's game. "Eat wiff me! Eat wiff Faiya!"
Tish smiled at the amusing sight of her easily entertained daughter. "It's nice to meet you, Victoria," she said, and nodded in greeting to the newcomer that came up.
"Tori! Toooori!"

"Name's Aurora Dawn," she said as she extended her hand to the mom of the little one in the stroller. "And, she's a cutie," she grinned.
"So what does Faiya like to eat?" Victoria asked with a giggle in her voice as she continued to play peak a boo with her.

"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Dawn," Tish said, taking the offered hand and shaking it gently. "I'm Tish Jenkins, and this is Faiya. Thank you, by the way."
Faiya giggled and reached out a tiny hand, attempting to grab Victoria's in her own - because she would NOt stop vanishing behind the giant things! "I wi' french fries!" the little purple child cheered, waving her other hand around in the air. "An' milk! And - and NOT BROCCOLI!"

Victoria for the moment stopped the simple game and held out her hand for the little one. She grinned. "I don't care much for broccoli either," she made a temporary face.
"So, a burger and fry joint." Aurora said the moment she heard the little ones cheers for french fries. 'Ahh the bond of potato and child...' she thought.

"BROCCOLI! Yucky!" Faiya declared, wrinkling her nose and making a 'stinky face'. She grabbed Victoria's hand and tugged the girl closer, tilting her head and looking at the ivy markings on the older girl. She stared for a long moment before she giggled loudly as the scent of french fries and roses mingled in the air. "Eat french fries with Faiya, Vi-Vi - Vivi Tori!"
"I guess if that's what they want," Tish said, sighing a little. "I'd rather Faiya eat more healthy food, but. . . one time can't hurt, really."

"If you promise not to go streaking and it's okay with your mum I'll carry you," Tori said knowing that it would be easier to do that than attempt to walk side by side with a strolled just to maintain holding her hand. She grinned when Faiya agreed on broccoli being yucky.
"A french fry is... sorta healthy," Aurora laughed. "I'm sure they also have fruit cups. Tori doesn't generally each anywhere that doesn't have them." She hoped that would help ease the other parent.

Faiya squealed loudly and turned to look up at Tish with big, imploring eyes. "Mama! Mama! Tori carry meeeee! Pleeeease? Tori carry me! Tori Tori Tori!" The scent of oranges filled the air as the toddler squealed, begging her mother to please, please let her play and be carried by the big girl.
"I suppose you're right," Tish said with a little bit of a laugh. "And we could always go to one of the ones that offer milk or juice instead of soda..."

Getting no exact answer Tori did not make attempts to pick Faiya up. Had she anyways it wouldn't have lasted long as the food court was just in site. "We're here," she grinned as she gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"Tori just like soda either... She is naturally a healthy kid. Never met another like her," she scratched behind her ear.

Faiya giggled and reached up to her new friend, wanting picked up and cuddled. "Tori! Tori! Sit wi' meeeee!" The blue child cheered, her happy smile not dimmed for even an instant by her mother's not hearing her request. "Sit wi' FAIYA, TO-TO!"
Tish smiled and nodded at Aurora as she scooped Faiya out of the mall stroller and got her into a store high-chair. "That's a good thing," she said, tucking the squirming toddler into her highchair. "Now, Faiya, keep your clothes on."

"Of course I'll sit with you," Tori grinned and sat next to the tot. "But only as long as you do as your mom says..." she giggled. The last thing they needed was to have a tot streaking through the food courting holding french fries.
Aura sat two trays down on the table. "Alright. One tot meal. Three adult meals. Juice boxes, water bottles, and fruit cups... I think that covers it," she said as she took a seat next to Tori... More than thankful they hadn't picked a booth.

"I p'omise, I'll be good," Faiya chirped, beaming an innocent smile at Victoria. "But sit wi' meeeeeeeeeeee kay?"
Tish offered Aurora a smile of thanks and got Faiya's meal ready for her, taking her own after a few moments. "So, what brings you two to the mall today? I came to have some alone time with Faiya; I have five children and I'm trying to make sure they all get a fair share of my attention . . . it's not easy though."

"I come from a family of eight," Aurora mused. "I'm still amazed at how our mother did it..." she paused for a moment before answering the question about why they were there. "We came for girly things," she said with a slight roll of her eyes. "Really though I believe it is that she just wanted to get out of the house and be a normal girl," she chuckled.
Victoria glanced over at Aurora and just left it alone. "I'm not going anywhere," she said as she returned her attention back to Faiya. As if it was second nature to her to fix her food without eyes on it she began to do so. Putting the dressing on her salad. Poking through it and taking out what she didn't want. She wasn't big on vegetables but there were a few that she did like. "Looks like you've got a good lunch in front of you," she grinned. "I like apples to."

Tish nodded absently, watching Victoria and Faiya out of the corner of her eye. "I can understand that," she said, nudging a french fry around her plate, and successfully stopping Faiya from dumping her juice box on the floor. "I only have one sister, myself, but both of our parents worked so it was hard to get time with our parents," Tish added, blinking as Faiya tried to throw a piece of fruit at Victoria. "So how's the trip to being normal working so far? I've found there's really not much in the way of normal, no matter where you're from or what your family's like. . ."
Faiya giggled and threw another fruit piece at Victoria, before deciding that it would be a better idea to eat the food than throw it, and dug in - with both hands, sending juice splattering everywhere.
