"Can I keep it"Ellie asked Tony,the small black kitten she'd just caught held tight to her chest. "Oh kid,I don't know"Tony said "Please please please Tony! I promise I'll take care of it"Ellie said,Tony groaned "Only if you clear it with your mom"Tony said. "You hear that little buddy,I get to keep you"Elle said as she pressed her nose to the kitten's small black nose "Maybe" Tony said "Please"Elle said "I'm adorable,mom rarely ever says no to me"She said.

Tony gave a light chuckle of amuse-ment "Go do your homework. Pep will have both our heads if it isn't done when she gets back"Tony said. "Yeah yeah"Elle said "Come on Roux upstairs we go"Elle said,she kissed the kitten's head as she headed for the door of the garage.

"Tony,Ellie. Breakfast"Pepper said as she came into the garage "Okay" Tony said from beneath the car. "Where's Elle"Pepper asked as he slid out from under said car "Don't know"Tony said with a shrug "She's usually up by now"Pepper said. "I don't know Pep,she's a kid. They like to explore"Tony said "I'll check her bedroom,your breakfast is is the kitchen"Pepper said. "Thank you" Tony said Pepper hummed in response as she headed for the door of the garage.

Tony waited a few minutes before he opened the doors of his large red toolbox. Elle fell out and then stood quickly "I'm okay"She said,Tony scoffed in amusement and ruffled her blonde hair. "Come on,get washed up you mom has breakfast ready"Tony said "Yummy"Elle said, she headed for the bathroom of the garage. Tony headed for the larger bathroom of the garage,stopping at the sight of a crate,with a pumpkin bed in it. A small orange bowl with black bats on it and soft cat food in it and a small black bowl with orange pumpkins and white ghosts on it with water.

Tony smiled and shook his head before pushing the bathroom door open. Elle's one of those kids that is nearly impossible to be mad at,I mean sure you can get pissy with her but it never lasts long. Elle hummed quietly as she braided her shoulder length hair,Pepper keeps it shorter because the Elle likes it. Shorter hair is easier for her to main-tain "Tony"Elle said after she was dressed and out o the bathroom.

"Elle"Tony said "Do you think mom will let me dye my hair"Elle asked "What color"Tony asked,he grabbed the girl and lifted her up to sit on his shoulders. "Something bright like maybe blue or pink or purple"Elle said "Maybe during summer break. Watch your head"Tony said,Elle ducked through the doorway. "Because it'd be distracting at school"Elle asked "Yep"Tony said, he isn't the way he is with Elle with other kids. Or other people in general but with Elle and Pepper he's himself,he doesn't have to put up the playboy philanthropist front.
