[People allowed to post; Asu, Gizmo, Yookami, Sun.] It had been about a week since Easter and Giovanni had been bothering his mother to hold a sleep over for all the friends he had, he did indeed have quite a few! Not to mention, he had heard his friends were going to bring more friends, yay!
Helping his mother set up the den for the sleep over, where the two coffee tables had been filled with snacks, drinks and a few toys and dvds, the blue haired boy double checked the sleeping bags and made sure they had at least five extra just to make sure. Oh the excitable little boy was so excited. It was almost time for people to arrive, he could only hope it was going to go how he had dreamed it would go.
Aderyn and her son had set up their larger tent in the den and placed the sleeping bags inside and had the door open towards the TV which had a stack of Disney and Studio Ghibli movies ready to be played. She couldn't help but laugh at Giovanni who was so excited, though she hoped that he would sleep tonight.

All three kids were in the back of the car all excited except Akito only from the fact of Gio. Even if Akito was acting like a negative Nancy it wasn't spoiling the excitement that both Yoo and Akira felt. Why? They were finally going to make friends. True they all had each other but they thought it would be nice to have fun with more kids. "Yoo. Yoo. Do you really think it's going to be fun like momma said?" Yoo simply laughed at Akira's excited question. "Yes. I don't think momma would lie about something fun but we just have to wait and see."
Suddenly the car slowed down and parked in front of a house which just made Yo and Akira sit up then look to Markus who was turning the car off. "We're here. Hope you're all excited." He looked just as excited as Yoo and Akira but that was because he wanted his children to be happy. Stepping out from his car, Markus opened his children's door and out came flying both Yoo and Akira but Akito too his sweet time. "You all remember to be on your best behavior right. I don't want to get a call hearing that one of your did something naughty." As the older male was taking out their backpacks and sleeping bags, he looked to Akito and gave him a look knowing that if he did get a call it might be because of him.
Seeing Markus's look, the small orange haired boy just looked away whistling and pretending that he didn't hear a thing. He was playing to do something but now he was thinking it wasn't such a good idea to go with his plan. Sighing and going to get his backpack, Akito walked to the front door by himself and feeling a bit alone.
Jumping up and down both of the boys that waited with Markus, just couldn't wait much longer. Finally when they saw Markus heading towards the door each of them took a hold of their 'momma's' arm, even if it would have helped him if they took at least their backpack like Akito had. "Akito can you knock at the door?" Markus asked still struggling with all the stuff he had. Of course Akito did as he was told and knocked pretty hard as if taking out his anger out on the door.

Eno pulled up to the house and parked his car on the opposite side of the street. Hayden had insisted that River go with him to the sleepover Giovanni had invited him to, but Eno was not about to let his precious child go freely in the hands of some woman he didn't know. No, instead he had offered to drive Hayden and River over to the house so he could a) avoid leaving River with Asu, and b) meet this "Giovanni" and his parent.
Eno turned off the car and looked back to Hayden and River in the backseat and sighed. "Are you ready?" He started to unbuckle himself. "I been ready since we got 'n the car." Hayden replied matter-of-factly as he unbuckled himself. "Dadda I can't..." River fumbled with his car seat, unable to undo himself like Hayden could.
"I'll get you in a sec... Hayden, get the bags from the trunk?" Eno got out of the car, opened the side door on Hayden's side and then opened the trunk as he walked around the car to where River was. He then opened that door and got to work freeing River from the car seat. "You have my phone number, right? You can call me any time you want to come home. Even if it's really late at night or early in the morning." He helped River out of the car and then looked to Hayden who had managed to get their overnight bags out.
"Alright.... lets go. Hold my hand, River. Hayden, you walk right next to me and hold your bag." Eno picked up River's bag and then looked around the street before crossing. "There aren' any cars ya know..." Hayden rolled his eyes a little and charged ahead, quickly crossing the street. He headed up to the door and waited behind the three who had arrived before them. Eno came to stand behind Hayden with River, an expression of mild annoyance on his face.

[OOC: Going to post now so it isn't a train of people waiting at the front door xD] Hearing the loud and almost angry knocking on the door, Aderyn got up to go downstairs to the door seeing as the front door lead to her gallery. "Giovanni, make sure that everything is ready while I see who's at the door." she says, getting a 'yes momma' from her son before she headed down the stairs. Letting out a soft sigh, she looked about the gallery once as she got to the first floor. Going to the door, she glanced through the window before opening the door, "Markus! Good to see you, I'm guessing this is Yoo?" Aderyn asked as she spotted the taller, dark haired child who looked surprisingly like his parent.
Though, her attention soon drifted from the four at the door to the other child who walked up, wearing bright green that matched his vibrant green eyes. "Hayden, I presume?" the woman asked with a soft chuckle, though as she glanced up from the boy, she couldn't help but be confused by the adult and other child coming in behind Hayden.
"Hayden.. who're those two?" Aderyn asked as she crouched down to look at the boy, having only been told about Hayden and two other kids aside from Yoo and the twins.

"Uh-huh!" Hayden grinned widely, dropping his bag into the ground momentarily. "Thissis River 'n his dad. Momma said tha' since is m'first sleepover I should bringa friend 'sides from Gio." Hayden nodded at River and then to Eno. Eno stared down at Hayden for a moment. That's not what he was told... "I'm sorry, I'd been told that it was an open invitation so if it's troublesome River can come home with me." He spoke quietly, still a little annoyed about the miscommunication. River just looked up at his father, slightly disappointed that he would possibly have to go home.

Standing back up when Eno had gotten to the door, Aderyn smiles, "No no, its fine really! We have extra food and sleeping bags so it's no problem. Giovanni wanted to meet a few new people anyways." she laughs a little before remembering to introduce herself. "I'm Aderyn Pseudonymous, Giovanni's mother. I also own the gallery thats on this floor. How about I show you and Markus around once we get the boys situated?"

It seemed as both Markus and his son Yoo were more like they really were parent and child because once the door opened up and they were greeted, they both gave the same happy yet goofy smile that looked almost exactly the same. It didn't stop there since after Eno spoke, both Markus and Yoo looked as if they jumped from being surprised. Giving off a soft sigh, Markus simply gave a small and happy wave at Aderyn not wanting to be rude and bother the other adults as they talked. He was always like that but he just couldn't help it, it was just the way he was raised. Finally when he saw the perfect time to speak, he took it. "That sounds like it would be fun. I've been wanting to see your gallery since you gave me your business card." The taller male told the truth. He had been excited like a child getting to go into a candy store and getting whatever he wanted.
Looking from one person to the other, Yoo just calmly waited being patient and quiet. True he was still excited and wanted to get the sleep over started but he felt that it would be rude to do. While he waited, he took a look back to the people who had gotten there after them. Flashing a small and a wave at them, he looked curious at both the boys and wondering if he would be able to be their friends. There was no guarantee of that unless he could see into the future and he knew that wasn't possible.
Without a word or sound, Akito just let himself in not caring if he was let in or not. The small orange haired boy looked inside, turning his head in direction before he just walked around before he sat himself on the floor with his arms crossed and a pout still on his face.
Waiting just like his black haired brother Yoo, Akira became shy from all the people around him to the point the he tried hiding between Markus and his brother. He hadn't even noticed that his brother had went inside already but neither did the others. Those golden colored eyes that belonged to the small white haired boy looked down to the floor not wanting to look at his own family nor the new people he might get to know. Akira stayed where he was only getting nervous by the second.

"All right, if you say so..." Eno looked down to River and was met with an extremely pleased expression on the toddler's face. "Oh, I'm Enosio Eleison." He didn't offer his hand though, preferring to keep to himself. "That sounds fine... I don't mean to be rude but it would be nice to know a little more about who I'm leaving my son in charge of..." He glanced over at Markus who seemed to be one of those overexcited parents, but judging from the way his kids behaved it was definitely good that he was.
Hayden took Akito's entrance as a sign that it was okay to go in, so he picked up his bag and headed into the house right after him, without another word to Aderyn. "Where's Gio at?" He looked around the house, confused. It was his sleepover, right? Where was he?

"Oh, thats fine.. just let me get the other boys situated upstairs and River could stay with you--- " Aderyn stopped in mid sentence when Hayden made his way into the gallery, not having noticed that Akito had made his way in as well. "Giovanni is upstairs, the downstairs is my gallery. I can take you guys up to where he is--- "
Yet again she was interrupted, this time it was by her son who came bounding down the stairs.
"Come on guys! We have food!" Giovanni said with a big grin.

A small laugh sneaked itself out from the other male's mouth which he quickly tried to cover with his mouth but he just thought it funny that Aderyn was getting stopped so many times by the children. Looking down to his two boys, Markus pushed them on ahead towards Giovanni. "Go follow the boy with the blue hair so you don't have to bother Ms. Aderyn." Getting a nod from his tallest son, he just watched as both Yoo and Akira went in and that is when he finally noticed that Akito wasn't around. "Where could have Akito gone?"
Not too long after Markus had asked, Akito popped up right in his view mainly due to the fact that he heard the word food. "I'm here." He said and walked along with his brothers, pouting even more.
Yoo wiggled right in between his smaller brothers and took one of their hands as he walked over to Giovanni. "Hello. I'm Yoo and these are my brothers Akito and Akira. Nice to meet you." Yoo was shaking on the inside as he introduced himself but he had to act brave. Just showed how bad he wanted more friends. "Thank you for inviting us." He added, wanting to show his manners he had learned from Markus.

"Hiiii Gio!" Hayden waved enthusiastically as soon as Giovanni came into sight, which meant he had ignored Aderyn completely. "I brotted a friend with me. His name's River... He's with his dad righ' now 'cause his dad is weird." Hayden nodded a little bit, pointing back to River and Eno. He thought it was rather strange for a parent to be so protective of their child.
Eno couldn't help but be thankful that River was fairly mild and didn't run around crazily or interrupt him very often. It happened, but it was so far and few between occurrences that Eno usually forgot that River was capable of it. "That sounds nice, I'd like that." He looked down to River for approval. "Nn'kay... 'n then I getta play with Hayden 'n his frien'?" River adopted a hopeful expression on his face. "Yes... and then you can play."

Giovanni waved at the other excited boy, "Come on everyone! We has food! Lots of it! My momma made somethin called 'pigs 'n a blanket'" He laughs as he tries to drag everyone upstairs, not even caring that the other adults were still present.
Aderyn chuckled a little as she watcher her boy head back upstairs, "He's so excitable but I think its just because hes feeding off of everyone's excitement..." she murmurs before taking a step or two back from the door, "Anyways, come on in! Its probably a little cold out there anyways."

Yoo felt like a happy little puppy as he ran up those stairs with his brothers and the other boys. "Is this how it feels to have a lot of friends? It's so nice." He thought and even laughed to himself but then he stopped as he heard what Gio said. "Oh did you momma really get piggies and put them in blankets?" He had no real clue what it was excatly since Markus was still teaching him about things in the world.
"Oh kids are just so amusing when they're excited like that. Hope they don't get too excited during the night that it keeps you up." He gave a small chuckle before coming inside."It's nice and cozy in here." He stated and went on looking in every direction.

Sun usually was pretty good at being on time. However, organizing and packing for three boys to spend the night somewhere was something she was not used to. Additionally she was only going to have Gavin and Keiran go since Edmund had started staying at school most nights now that he had a roommate. However, even though it seemed he was making friends and seemed to be getting better with people, she knew it certainly wouldn't hurt to push him to go to more social events. Besides, Gavin and Keiran had never been away from home overnight and maybe having their older brother there who had done so before would be a good idea.
Edmund, her oldest, was sitting quietly in the front seat looking out the window as the houses and trees went by. He was wondering if tonight was going to be any fun. He knew both Gavin and Kei had met Gio and some of this friends a few times, but he didn't think he knew anyone going. Plus, he was a bit worried it was going to be all people younger then him and while he didn't mind playing with his brothers, he wanted to make some friends his own age. On top of that, while he was getting better at talking to new people it still really made him nervous. Edmund let out a small sigh and let his forehead hit the window with a barely audible thunk.
Gavin, Sun's middle boy, was meanwhile practically thrumming with excitement. So far he really liked playing with Gio and Hayden, who he heard would be there also. He was certain if they were there, other fun people would be too. Also he was really curious to see Gio's house. He was half listening to Keiran babble about what kind of games they should play tonight when it occurred to him that he would have a whole night unsupervised by his Mom. A mischievous glint lit up in his eyes and a small smirk started on his face. It didn't even enter his mind that just because she wasn't there, there wouldn't be other adults there too. His mind started off on dreams of what kind of things he might be able to do and what kind of treasures he might find while he was there. Suddenly he burst out with a "Are we there yet?!"
Keiran, Sun's youngest boy, was channeling his excited, and maybe a tad nervous energy into babbling. "There's going to be lots of food and people and games and fun stuff to do like you said, right Mommy?" He asked, though he didn't really give Sun time to answer before starting off on his next train of thought. "I hope we play hide n' go sleep and I hope there's ice-cream and cookies." he paused to take a breath. "We're all going to sleep 'n the same room right? I can't wait to do that. That's what campin' is like a little right? Only there's no ceiling and stuff. Will he have to sleep in the dark? I don't like that. But oh! There will be lot's of people so it'll be ok if we do." Finally he fell silent for a moment while Gavin had his outburst of excitement. As soon as Gavin finished though he added his own question. "We can call you if we want right? It'll be ok? Won't it Mommy?"
Sun had been listening to Kei ramble on with a small smile. She hadn't bothered to try to answer his questions because she knew they were rhetorical. Then she was hit with two that she knew she was expected to answer. "Yes Gavin, in fact we should be less then a minute away. And Kei, I'm sure that if you want to call home it will be no problem. You just ask Giovanni's mother ok?" Soon after she had finished answering them she parked the car at the address on the directions she had printed out. It took he a little bit but finally she got everyone out of the car and all of their stuff with it. "Edmund, will you hold Gavin and Kei's hands while I carry the stuff?" Sun asked, and smiled as he did as she requested with no complaint. Then she watched poor Edmund practically get dragged up to the door and her two youngest pounded their small fists on the door excitedly. "Boys! Boys! It's not polite to knock like that. You should ring the doorbell first, and then if there's no answer just knock a few times, slower." She dropped the sleeping bag she was holding and reigned her boys in while she waited for the door to be answered.
[longest post...ever. For me anyway.]

"My momma maded those the other day!" Hayden grinned widely, he loved those things. It didn't take any extra encouragement for him to scramble up the stairs full throttle, half fueled by the idea of food, half because of the excitement everyone was displaying had gotten him extra wound up.
[Oh goddddd...]
Eno shuffled inside with River, eyes wandering over the room. It seemed fairly tame, nothing too alarming. Eno however couldn't help but stare after all of the other kids who'd gone running upstairs, wishing he could go too. A subconscious pout came to his face, but he didn't say anything because Eno had already told him before they'd gone to pick Hayden up that this was likely to happen. "What is it that you do for a living?" Eno knew the question was a little on the rude side based on how he'd worded it, but he was genuinely curious about it.
