Their walk led to the little Strangetown chapel, where one thing led to another…
(Both keep their last name. Pascal already passed his last name on to Tycho, and Cara’s last name is kind of her trademark, so…)
Schlagwort: curious
“Hey, Lazlo, can you take care of Athena for a while? We’re just heading out for a short walk, we’ll be back in half an hour…”
“Sure, knock yourself out.”
Looks like Cara likes “crazy things”.
But then again… for once in his life he had been spontaneous and never before had he felt this way… felt this happy.
“Hey, wanna do something really crazy?”
Before he could ask her what she meant, the school bus stopped in front of the house and Tycho stepped out. He immediately ran over.
“Dad, you know Cara Livingston?”
“Yes…?”
“Oh man! I saw you in Weather Control! And my uncle Lazlo loved you in Pool Table!”
Cara winked at Pascal and turned to Tycho: “Always nice to meet a fan.”
The two happily chatted away for a while and Pascal zoomed out until…
“- and that’s why I think Dad needs a wife.”
“Okay, Buddy, let’s go inside.”
He smiled apologetically at Cara.
He felt like his life had just turned into one of those cliched old movies Lazlo loved to watch…
When Pascal takes out the trash after taking a nap, he sees a familiar face.
“Did you follow me home?”
“I just wanted to see if the address you gave me was right. And I forgot to thank you for the nice afternoon.”
“Not creepy at all.”
Cara laughed: “Maybe a bit.”
“Why are you wearing a ballgown in the desert? You look… posh.”
“Oh boy, you really have no idea who I am, right?”
Meanwhile, Vidcund spent the day at home trying to teach Athena all her toddler skills. Lazlo is at work.
The date is a raving success. Cara and Pascal spent the whole day in the park, chatting and flirting. It’s already getting dark when Pascal decides he has to head home and bids Cara farewell…
As soon as he enters the local park, his eyes fall upon a beautiful dark-haired woman and they chat for a while… Unusually bold, Pascal asks her out on a date.
“Do you have any idea who I am?”
“Should I?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Next morning, Vidcund agrees to take care of the kids, so after helping Tycho to get ready for school, Pascal heads off to Downtown. Maybe he’ll find someone else… a girl who is closer to him in age.
