They both fell quiet then, thinking about
that. Then Alex grinned and stood, picking up her bags "The rest I can ask
you while we're shopping some more. Come on, Walker. We have to get
you back into shape for the shop-decathlon at Christmas time."
Julia laughed at that and followed, tossing her
near empty plastic glass into the nearest trash bin.
<the next part happens after Nick and Derek
stake out the house and they're or Derek (if Nick stays behind) back at the
House or whaddevah>
Alex was checking out with the cashier, Julia having already
finished with her purchases, and turned to her friend, mock chastising "You
should have bought the red one."
Julia grinned and looked at her watch - having finally broke
down and bought one since she had to keep an eye on the time now with driving
Kat to and from school.
"You can get it for Christmas - oh it's time to get
going. Kat gets out in thirty minutes and I want to make sure we aren't
backed up with the rest of the school traffic."
They finished at the stores and headed out, putting their
things in the back before heading out.
Alex watched her and the small smile on Julia's
lips.
"You're actually liking this, aren't you? This whole..
domestic thing instead of being in the middle of the action?"
Julia gave her a dry look "Keeping up with Kat and helping
with the house and the Luna Foundation is a far cry from boredom."
Then she smiled "But yeah, I'm liking it. Liking it a
lot."
They made it to Kat's school right on time, hearing the bell
that let out the students to meet with the parents and people picking them
up.
"Note to self," Julia grimaced, at the corner of the school
and waiting to be directed onto the main street and the spot Kat had shown her
that morning "Leave earlier to beat this crowd."
And crowd it was. She had seen better out of the highway
jams.
The crossing guard lifted her sign for the opposite traffic to
stop and waved for Julia to proceed.
Making sure traffic was clear enough, Julia turned to the
right and got in line behind the other cars crawling along "You think these
people suffer road rage?"
Alex chuckled and joked "I bet this is where the road rage
statistics come from."
Julia spotted Kat just then as she laughed at Alex's joke
"There she is."
