"Don't burn the water!!"

"You can't even burn water!", Travis scoffed as the pot on the oven starts to boil over.

"Turn it down! You have it up too high", Sal was chasing Soda around the kitchen , the little girl screaming with laughter with her hands swinging up in the air, trying not to bump into Travis.

"I did! It's starting to go down-", Travis was cringing at himself for failing at this simple task.

"Okay good-- ugh!!", Sal was still chasing the little girl around when there was a sudden knock at the door, causing Soda to stop for a moment, before going back to running, but out of the kitchen and into the hallway.

"It's Aunty-Ashly! Auntie Ashly!!!!", Soda yelled excitedly.

Sal finally caught up to her, picking her up and strangling her against his side as he opened the door

"Auntie-Ashy!!!", Soda yelled, holding her arms out to the girl.

"Awe, Hi Soda!", Ashley took a step into the house and ruffling Soda's hair.

"Hey, dude", Ash pulled Sal into a quick hug before letting go and shutting the door behind her.

"It smells like lighter fluid in here- What in the world were you guys doing", Ash spoke up as they both left the hallways and made their way back to the kitchen.

"Oh- Yeah .... The oven does that sometimes", Sal set down Soda at the doorway of the kitchen.

"Here you go, Soda", Travis handed the girl a small plastic green bowl with a matching spoon.

"Thank-chu Travvy!", Soda smiled and she waddled off into the living to eat.

"... Travis...", Ashley tilted her head in awe.

"Oh, Hi", Travis said awkwardly, putting the dishes away.

"Since... Since when did you come back...."

"Long story...", Travis sighed, walking up to the two.

"Right.... Well I'm gonna head into the garage and start painting then... I'll see you guys on a few", She made a clicking sound with her tongue and made her way to the garage, leaving the two alone again.

"Such a conversationist", Sal chuckled while patting Travis's back.

"Yeah, well she hates my guts. Probably not more than Todd... Or Larry.... Or anyone else", Travis bared his teeth.

"Well, we shouldn't let Soda be alone too long. We saw what happened last time", Sal stuck out his tongue a little, awkwardly, the two making their way to the living room.
