Scarian: Your Favorite Singer, Eh? pt3

Cleo quietly hummed as she patiently waited for Tommy's mother. His aunt, Pearl, had said that her sister was going to be here to pick Tommy up, and she was running a little late. Cleo let out a quiet sigh, she was about to walk into the main area, but someone quickly entered the preschool.

"I am so sorry for running late! Something came up that I needed to deal with, and then I completely lost track of time!" Cleo gave the person a small smile. "Hey, you're fine! Running late happens sometimes! Plus, Tommy is currently with one of my coworkers, so everything's fine!" The person let out a quiet sigh, "I am sorry for it though... But, I am here to pick up Tommy. I'm his mother." Cleo gave the person a small nod, "Here, follow me." Cleo led the person into the back area where all of the kids usually stayed. In the back of the room, Cleo spotted Scar lying on his stomach with Tommy lying on top of him, both of them looked to be completely passed out.

Cleo slightly shook her head before looking back towards Tommy's parents, "If I remember correctly, your name is Grian, yes?" The blonde nodded her head. Cleo nodded a bit. She turned back to where Scar and Tommy were. Cleo walked over to to two sleeping hybrids, she crouched down a bit, reaching out to gently shake Scar awake. The vex quietly groaned as he woke up. "Ugh... Five more minutes...!" Cleo laughed a bit, "Scar you need to get up, you're at work, remember?" As soon as Cleo said that, Scar was seemingly wide awake. "Oh... Oh my lord... UGH! How long was I asleep for!?"

"Not that long, though you might wanna be careful with getting up. Tommy is laying onto of you." Scar sighed a bit, before snapping his fingers. Tommy instantly teleported on top of some pillows and blankets. Scar slowly pushed himself up, his body stiff and very uncomfortable as he had fallen asleep on the wooden floor. "Ow..." He stretched out a bit, the sunglasses that usually sat atop his head, had fallen over his eyes. "Uhg... I'll be right back..." He got up and walked into the worker's break room.

Cleo slightly shook her head. She reached over and picked Tommy up, bringing him over to Grian, who quietly thanked Cleo. Though, unfortunately for them, Tommy woke up. "Mhf..." He slightly picked his head up, looking around a bit, before looking up at his mother. "Where's Mr. Scar?" Tommy looked rather upset that he couldn't find Scar.

Cleo laughed a bit, "Don't worry Tommy, Mr. Scar is just in the break room. He needed to properly wake up as the both of you had fallen asleep!" Tommy squinted a bit, but eventually nodded his head, laying back down on Grians chest, and quickly passing out. Grian laughed a bit, "I guess Tommy has a favorite, eh?" Cleo hummed, nodding her head. "Yeah, Tommy and Scar are inseparable! Tommy looks up to Scar. And Scar is usually the main person who helps Tommy with almost anything!"

The pair talked for a bit, but eventually, Grian had to leave. She thanked Cleo again, and also apologized again, before leaving. As soon as Grian had left, Scar walked out of the break room, his phone in his hand. "Whatcha looking at Scar?" The vex glanced at Cleo, "Sorry, just making plans with Bdubs..." Cleo hummed, "He told you about the tickets?" Scar nodded, though he didn't say anything. Cleo slightly laughed, "How bout' you go back home a go to sleep? You look like you just ran twenty miles!"
