[Kirk's a pretty smart kid. He's figured out by the posts that he isn't in Iowa and while this looks like a spaceship, there's a solid chance his mom isn't on it. Cause she never is :c So forget asking for her.]

Why am I on a starship?

And why is there a dog?

And why does this person have an action figure of my dad? [He holds it up. It's the action figure Tim gave him for Christmas, of himself lolol] And some lady? [Here's the Cissie version of action figure, also a Christmas present.]

Sam if you're here you better say something or I'll tell Frank.

[Sooo he's still at a point where Sam's still around. Awesome, he might be slightly less intolerable.]

Right. Okay.

This is the Barge. In the future, you're gonna live here for a while. But sometimes we come across weird stuff in space that makes you young again. You don't have to believe me but you do have to put up with this for the next few days.

...

The dog's name is Aristotle.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Why would you name a dog that?

Why am I living here?

Who are you?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

1) I don't know, I didn't name it. I think you inherited it from somebody else.

2) You chose to. I don't know why you're living here either.

3) I'm Shego. I'm your neighbor. [She taps on the connecting wall.] Hi.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I own this dog?! That's so cool!

How old am I in the future? Am I doing something cool?

[WHOA KNOCKING] Are you supposed to be watching me?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

...Maybe.

You're around my age in the future. Twenty-five-ish.

[pause pause pause.]

The little action figure thing you've got? It's not your dad. It's you in the future.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[why are you crushing his dreams]

Oh.

Why is there an action figure of me? I'm not a hero like my dad.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[is that not what they're there for]

...

Yet.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

...

I don't believe you.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Like I said, you don't have to believe me.

[Hnnnn.]

They have action figures of your dad too, but they made one of you as well because of all the cool stuff you do. That's all I'm trying to say here.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I don't do cool stuff. Sam says I'm a loser cause I like school.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you're gonna grow up and do cool stuff, and you get to do it because you're smart, and part of the reason you're smart in the future is that you like school now. You see how that works?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I guess. [Ahoy low self esteem.]

Do you know how to take the dog for a walk? I think he has to pee.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

...

Yeah, I can just about manage that. You wanna come with?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yes! That would be awesome.

[Childcare is...not actually one of Shego's pet hates. She hates kids, but that's kids plural; one or two at a time she can deal with, and she actually enjoyed tutoring to bulk up her college fund. Since Kirk seems to be at an unexpected 'depressive nerd' stage of his childhood and not the later 'driving things off cliffs' stage she can't foresee any major problems.

She taps on the door as a warning before opening it, and happily nothing has been destroyed that she can see.]

Hey, Jim.

"Hi." Kirk stares at her for a moment before, "Are you Orion? My mom says you should never trust an Orion cause they'll sell you before you can blink."

But clearly sleeping with them was fine.

"I'm human. I had an accident when I was a little bit older than you and it turned me green." She whistled. "Aristotle, let's go."

Jimmy took a moment to process this. "Cool!" He declared as he bounded over to her with the dog. Aristotle seemed to have gotten over the strange appearance of the child in place of his actual master and so he was no longer barking and he let Jimmy hang on him.

"Can I be green too?"

Re: Spam

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"Nope, sorry. It was one of those one-time-only freak events." She ushered them both out of the room and shut the door. They could go to the CES, hopefully none of the kids had realised how their Items worked. "Anyway, people'll just be mistaking you for Orion forever."

Re: Spam

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"I'd rather be Orion than the Kelvin baby all the time," Jimmy replied in that sad, honest way that kids do sometimes."Even if Orions sell people."

"You can't do anything about how you were born, sport. That's why you need to do cool stuff. Build up your own reputation."

What is this peptalk? Jimmy frowns at her a little. "Why do you want me to do stuff when I'm older so badly? I'm seven. There's not anything I can do now."

Re: Spam

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I already know you do stuff when you're older. What you can do now is not settle for the idea that liking school dooms you to a life of loserdom."

"I don't mind. Sam's a dummy sometimes." Like when he kept fighting with Frank when clearly it was easier to put your head and wait for Mom to come back. "I think he's mad that I'm smarter than him."

Re: Spam

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, a lot of people get mad if you're smart," she said mildly. She opened the door to the above-deck area and guided him and Aristotle into the CES.
