Tea party gone wrong

Lyra Persian invited Rebecca Sweetpea and Jenny Border over for a Victorian tea party.

The tea party would have gone perfectly right if Dominic, Patrick, and I hadn't decided to play superheroes and bumped into the tea party. It still would have gone right if the Border twins hadn't wanted to play with both of their older siblings.

We tried combining the two games. "What if," Rebecca said, "we invite the superheroes over to a tea party?" Dominic grabbed a donut and began to eat it. "Mind your manners!" said Rebecca. "The invitation was for tomorrow!"

"We'll invite the superheroes to a party instead, and decorate a cake," Rebecca said.

"That's rather beneath us," said Dominic. "We have crime to fight!"

"The princesses are captured!" Lyra offered.

"Do not tell me there will be romance in this!" I said. "I simply can't stand playing that."

After about half an hour more of trying to think of things to play together, and failing, Aidan walked by. "What are you doing?" he said.

"Trying," Patrick said, "to play together. Lyra, Jenny, and Rebecca are having a Victorian tea party. We're playing superheroes. The twins want us to play together."

"Why don't you just eat?" Aidan said. "Not bothering about who you are."

Come to think of it, none of the food had been touched, save for one donut.

So we all had a picnic.
