"Hurry mom, we're gonna be late!"
Minny was practically sprinting down the street, skidding to a halt just far enough away from her mother to indicate her restlessness and eagerness, but close enough that she wasn't told to "come back and not run off so far". The streets were busy, and bus streets meant lots of people to ask for donations from! Her faithful backpack, and old one from ears before was still attached to her and in recent times had become a permanent fixture. It was with this backpack that she carried her donations to various drop off points and to her own home to be boxed up b her mom and dad and taken in. So far the had come up with five boxes full of food, but Minny wanted as man as she could. She happened to mention that Millie was also participating in the food drive, and the magic of mothers went to work. Today, they were meeting at the library to encourage donations at one of the main drop offs.
Minny skipped ahead a couple more steps, and then spotted the large building in front of her. She squealed when she saw the sign that read "Food Bank Drop Off" on the side of the building. Oh this was exciting! She had even brought bells to ring for Millie and her. Not caring if her mother shouted of not, Minny ran ahead to the library, skidding to a halt in front of the main entrance. Oh what fun this was going to be!

Millie was running late! She knew she was running late, and still she kept running. She was wearing her Jedi robes, as she had been for every part of this food drive. Her mother was happy they were getting used so much, and not just for playtime. The redhead gave a little groan in the car, pressing her face to the window, thinking that they were taking absolutely forever, and they would never get there, no matter what.
It was then, when the child had opened her mouth to say this thought to her mother, that the library finally came into view.
Millicent gave a very loud cheer and wiggled in her seat, excited to jump out of the car and go ask people for cans of food and other donations. Today’s load wouldn’t be used for her personal quota, but it would be good to help those poor people anyway! They needed all the help they could get, and sure…this wouldn’t help to make Millie the hero, but heroes had to know when to stand down and just be heroes for the good of the people anyway.
When Bellatrix finally pulled the car beside the library, the child jumped out, running over to Minny. “Hi! Hi I’m finally here! We were late because I overslept, but I’m here now! Let’s do this and be super heroes, okay!?”

Tony was having some issues with Dogby today.
Usually, she was as well behaved as anyone could ask for with a dog. Especially one as young and excitable as she was. She was very loving, sweet, and she love attention. Did whatever she could for it. She thrived on it so much, in fact, that she was learning how to encourage it out of other people: she seemed to know what people thought was 'cute' when she did it. Like taking something and playing with it with her stumpy legs and floppy ears all over the place.
She had managed to get one of Tony's shoes off. It was his fault for leaving it untied. It was on his bad leg, and he hadn't felt like bending down to fix the problem, considering he was sitting at his desk for most of the day today. She had played with the laces, which he allowed with a warning pronounciation of her name, then she had taken his shoe and 'darted' off.
Dogby wasn't exactly fast, but she was low to the ground and could fit under most of the things in the library, so she had that to work with. While the young girls were meeting outside to start their adventure in young heroism and community service, Tony was chasing Dogby around the donation box inside.

Minny waved excitedly at Millie when she sprinted up. "Hi Millie! We were almost late too, but I ran ahead so Mom would know I was in a hurry." She smiled up at her mother's face, ignoring the crossed arms.
The thought of super heroes made her want to laugh. The need to tell someone was a bubble in her chest that over the last few days had steadily grown inside until it pressed against her ribs. She wanted to tell her friend all about her late night adventures, and fighting youma, and meeting other tiny senshi. But she knew that she couldn't. It was a super secret! So instead, she bobbed her head up and down and said "Yeah we can be super heroes and save the world of hungry people!" She struck a dramatic super hero pose to get into character.
"I like your outfit." she added, looking back to the purple-ish haired girl. "Are those Jedi robes like you said at school? They don't look very warm though..." they almost looked like pajamas, and Minny wondered if the girl slept in them. They certainly looked comfortable enough!
Minny indicated her backpack that her mother was leaning against her foot. "I have a couple things to put in the donation box before we can start. Do you want to come in with me?" She ran inside, looking for the box. It was between a man and something small she guessed, since it was invisible at the time. He seemed to be looking for something. Or chasing it.
"Excuse me mister, what are you doing?" she asked, childish curiosity piqued. It wasn't every day that you saw a grown man dodging around a box. Maybe it was a mouse! Minny dearly hoped not. She ran into them every now and again in the garden, and she didn't much care for the way that they stared at her with those beady little eyes. Just in case, she took a step back, eyeing the spot she was sure the mouse was going to come out of very carefully.
