"C'mon old man, you're going too slow."

"Ro." I paused, straining my neck so Roy could tell that I was straight-facing her.

I used my upper body strength  to speed up, causing Roy to tighten her grip around my neck. Since our luggage was already sent on its way, we were just waiting for our section to be called.

Luckily, our hoverboard was permitted inside the airport.

It's insane how a four year old was able to win us two tickets to go to Africa on a radio show.

You can't put anything past Royalty.

Lots of  people were staring us down as we rode around on the device but we didn't care.

We'd rather ride around than sit around suffering from boredom like the rest of the old muh'fuckers in here. And as long as security weren't saying anything about it, we good.

"Daddy, don't you miss mommy?" Roy questioned out of nowhere, placing her head in the crook of my neck.

She has been asking some weird questions lately.

"I miss being friends with your mommy." I don't necessarily miss our relationship."You miss her?"

"A little. When can I see her? I miss her cooking and the way she did my hair was nice. You don't know how to cook or do hair."

I did a swift U-turn and veered us towards the vending machines, coming to a complete stop in front of them.

"Aye, my noodles are delicious and your puffballs look nice." I wiggled my eyebrows and ruffled her hair before helping her climb down from my back.

I couldn't answer her question because I honestly don't know when she'll be able to see Mehgan.

She basically tried to down play me the last time we'd spoken so I'm not fucking with her at the moment. That is Royalty's mother, though. And I always have to put Roy first.

"I have to admit, your noodles are bomb fam."

I pinched the bridge of my nose, shaking my head slightly.

Did she really just call me that? Who does her mother let her hang around?

"Where you lea- spell fam Royalty."

"F-" She paused and began to sound the word out."A- forget all of that, who will do my hair while we're out of town?" She quickly changed the subject.

I chuckled and assured her that we'll find someone before  inserting the five dollar bill into the Machine.

I got Roy a bag of ruffles and a pack of twizzlers, she wanted a pack of Blowpop suckers instead but..... hell nah. Instead of getting ruffles as well, I settled on some Flaming Hot Cheetos.

This was just something for us to snack on until they served food on the plane .

"Section four on flight thirty to South Africa is now boarding. Please make your way to gate two. Thank you."

"That's us mama."

I stuffed our new snacks into her Teen TitansGo backpack before bending down to her level, giving her access to climb onto my back.

Once she was hanging on securely, I stepped back onto the all white Skywalker and we sped towards gate two.

After we'd retrieved our passports and currency we made our way through the stuffy shuttle.
