[She wrinkles her nose slightly and waves a hand with a snort.] Just because they were sentient doesn't make them not marine life.

[Obviously. Geez, Lance. Why are your hormones such a problem.

But whatever. They're gonna go have a fun time and Pidge will let him get away with more stupid comments than usual today because it's his birthday celebration. That's the least she can do.]

All right. But if you take too long I'm figuring out how to go without you.

Whatever, Pidge. Don't be jealous they got to swim all day and be safe and warm. Show me a fish that puts on a Vegas style show and then I'll believe you.

[Because he's eighteen and has only gotten a taste of sex twice in his entire life and he's already addicted?

Lance is halfway up the basement stairs when he begins laughing at her empty threat.]

Hey, I'm the one with the tickets and the money. You can try, but I'm sure they're gonna think you're some lost kid and turn you away to go get your parents.

[Pidge just rolls her eyes playfully. Swimming is overrated - Technically all of the outdoors in general is overrated - but Lance seems to enjoy that crap so-] Whatever.

[She then considers this scenario that Lance has put in her head, lost kid with no money or tickets to get in... Hmm. A mischievous grin spreads across her face.] ..I bet I could get that to work in my favor.

What? Passing as a kid?

[Well, she sure as hell passed as a boy to Lance, but then again, he was the only one who was completely fool. Nobody else was that dumb after hanging around Pidge for a while. Maybe she could pass for a kid to someone who's know her for all of five minutes.

Tickets stuck in his pocket and backpack slung over his shoulder, Lance leans against the doorfram leading down the basement and starts chuckling.]

Go ahead and try. When you get picked up for truancy, I'll send Shiro to come sign you out from the Jennies. Maybe he'll ground you too.

[She snorts loudly, rolling her eyes as she heads up and passes through the doorway ahead of him, aiming a very light smack for his shoulder.]

Shiro would never ground me, first of all. And second I don't think truancy is a thing around here. There are a lot of kids younger than us running around.

[In return for that smack, Lance reaches out and slams Pidge with a noogie. Take that, shortstuff.]

You mean all those little kids Keith is bullying for their money under the guise of him "battling Pokemon".

[He actually uses air quotes here because Lance is having a hard time believing jacking preschoolers for Pokedollars actually counts as training.]

Someone's mom is gonna kick his ass one day and I want to be there to laugh until I cry about it.

[You get a pass for that noogie today, Lance. The attempt to swat him away and get him to stop is barely even half-assed and is totally thwarted by a smile.]

Or all the kids he's been fighting are gonna gang up on him and get their revenge. Which would also be really funny to watch. [Sorry Keith. No offense.]

Why is that even a thing? Getting money from the loser? It sounds messed up.

Man, I sure hope that happens. Do you know how much dough we could make off of selling tickets watching Keith get mobbed by a bunch of crumbsnatchers?

[Lance is pretty sure that whenever they get back to Earth, he could set up a worldwide feed of his niece and nephew tackling Mullet Boy. He won't even need to share the financial proceeds, just give the kids some candy and they'll be satisfied.]

It sounds kind of like gambling? Or like cockfighting, only there's no blood, no one dies, no chickens, and it's legal. Plus the Pokemon enjoy it.

[Pidge snorts, amused by the thought.] Well technically we'd probably only get anything out of it if Keith decides not to fight back. And honestly? I have no idea where he'd draw the line on that.

[But whatever. Pidge figures that so long as Shiro doesn't catch them in the act and start lecturing them, it would still be worth a shot.]

That's what I think, too. But Rover keeps trying to fight all of Shiro's bigger Pokémon, so I'm really gonna have to let him go fight outside.

[Lance stop mid-stride to the front door and grimaces. There goes that bit of fun.]

Crap, you're right. Keith would probably take them on like they were grown adults. Let's abort that plan.

[Shiro can't watch them all 24/7. Imagine the shenanigans they can get up to here now that they aren't stuck in the Castle.]

Maybe he can fight Kaltenecker? She always wants to fight too so maybe they can tire each other out. Loser buys lunch?

[Pidge just nods sagely. She can already imagine Keith throwing small children off of him in every direction. Which would then probably get a bunch of angry parents on his case. Which would earn Pidge and Lance a lecture. Which just means that all the fun got sucked out of that plan.

Keith VS Kaltenecker, on the other hand...]

Huh. We could probably throw Rover in there, too. He keeps trying to fight everything three times his size anyway.
