Istas' parents had another dinner date type thing. Istas was sitting on the couch watching for her baby sitter. Melody was suppose to be here soon. She hummed as she waited wondering what interesting things might be outside tonight.
"Sweetie." Chi's voice came from the other room, "I left you some snacks in the refrigerator. And the gram crackers are on the counter if you want something sweet."
"Thank you mommy!" She called with a smile and looked back towards the sidewalk, "Is there chocolate milk or that cherry limeaid juice?" She called back curiously.
"Yes, they're all in the fridge dear." Chi went upstairs to see how Lorenzo was fairing with his tie.

Patrol was canceled in favor of babysitting, sometimes real life did have to come first. She'd apologize later to whoever she needed to, but really she was the only one the Holywell's had for poor little Istas and she wouldn't let them down. Wouldn't let her chibi down. Not any more.
There was one knock on the front door before it opened and she walked in, glad her family and the Holywells were close enough that she was considered family. It made sense seeing as she kind of thought Istas as a little sister much like Raina was. Though sometimes she felt like Istas was her own little girl. Just some times though, when it was just her and the nine-year old.
Maybe it was the sudden want of a relationship, boy or girl she didn't think it mattered. But that was a thought for another time.
"Hello, I'm here!" she called out, though only Istas was likely to hear. Removing her shoes by the door she stepped in to the living room.

"MILLIE!!" Came the happy yell as she tackled her babysitter. Grinning up at the older girl she chuckled, "Hi."
She wondered what they were going to do tonight. Maybe she could play tired early and sneak out of the house. Istas looked like an innocent little thing as she grinned towards her mom and dad.
Her parents were just now walking to the door. Her father didn't have trouble with his tie tonight. Being a stock broker he ended up at fancy meetings and parties all too often however, he still hated that tie and Istas knew it.
She beamed up at them, "Daddy I think your tie's a bit crooked." She said after a second watching as he fussed with it after she said something.
Chi just laughed. "Dear stop, you'll make it worse. Here let me get it." When he finally let her fix it she smiled. "There. That's better." Istas nodded in agreement.
"Mellie there's snacks already made up in the kitchen and you know the rest of the drill." She gave the blonde haired girl a nod, "We'll try to be back before too late."
"Have fun at the party!!" Istas called with a smile and a wave.

Hugging the girl attached to her waist, Melody laughed and rubbed her back. Yea, she'd take babysitting duty over patrol any day. "Well hello! How's my favourite chibi today?"
When the Holywells came down the stairs, she bid them a hello as well then laughed as the fussing of the tie commenced. She had wondered how long it would take for it to happen this time. Later then last time that was for sure.
"Take your time, enjoy the party," was the bright reply. Having a child meant parents couldn't enjoy time to themselves so much. "You know Istas' is in good hands."

Istas smiled, "I'm good." She said with a grin.
She waved as her parents left and then looked at Melody, "What should we do tonight?" She asked curiously as she hummed. She also wondered if Mel knew anything about the senshi.
She wiggled as she waited "Are you going to the halloween ball?" Istas decided to ask instead of what she was thinking.

"You know, I don't know. You may have to color by yourself though, I have a test to study for."
When they were gone she hoisted the nine-year old up onto her hip to head back into the living room with her. She had no idea of her charge's mind-set about the senshi, had no idea said chibi was one either. After all young ones couldn't become soldiers of justice, right?
Right.
"Halloween Ball?" she echoed, setting the pale haired girl on the couch. Oh yea, she had seen something for that hadn't she? There had been conversation between her and Azzo going as Rinoa and Squall, and trying to con Ignacio as Seifer. He'd be a pretty good one.
"I might, it sounds like fun. We'll see how my back log of homework is."

Istas nodded softly, perhaps this sneaking out would be easier than she thought. She pouted slightly though, "Aww... why do you have to study?" She couldn't let Mellie think she wasn't bothered at least a little.
Istas nodded when the ball was echoed and she was sat on the couch. "My school's suppose to have a ducky booth. Where you get to try to grab a ducky for a prize!" She said with a grin.
She nodded softly, homework, maybe she didn't want to get bigger. All this homework and studying, it didn't sound like fun at all. "If you get to come you should come see the duckies." She said with a grin.

"Because I have to get good grades to make it out of school. I can't be a famous cellist if I have bad grades you know." Giggling she poked the little one's nose then sat down on the couch to pull out her English note book.
"Oh but that duck booth sounds fun. If I get a chance to show up, I promise to stop by your duck pond."

Istas nodded softly as she looked upstairs, she seemed to be thinking. "So you have to do good in school to be a cellist?" She asked curiously.
That sounded slightly silly she thought Melody was good enough to be famous as is. "I don't see why you have to. You're good at it already." She said indigently, before pausing.
Istas wiggled softly, "Good you do that." She said with a serious nod. "I can't have my Millie missing out on the duckies." She seemed to be thinking after that.
"I'll be back. I gotta go find something." She said making an excuse. Hm... if Mellie was in the living room I'll have to figure out a way to get out of the house. There was a tree near the house... but Istas didn't like heights. Maybe the back door?

Eventually Istas couldn't bring herself to sneak out of the house. She frowned watching Melody, the girl's studies were obviously more important and Istas ran up stairs to her room.
She sighed and played by herself as she often did, wondering if Mellie would get mad at her if she knew the little girl was a senshi. After Istas got her snack and sat and watched Mellie for a bit longer she decided it was time for bed.
It wouldn't hurt one night not to go out to see what was around right? Besides it's not like she had to protect the city every night, even little girls needed their rest. She brushed her teeth and got ready for bed, told Mellie night and crawled under the sheets.
She could go out tomorrow, the little one yawned her butter yellow eyes closed as she floated off to dreamland.
