Time; Don't Let It Slip Away

Legendary Child

I waited at the airport, wearing a black sundress, a big black floppy hat, and black sunglasses, holding up a sign that said "Mr. and Mrs. Perry." 

Because I was wearing all black, I looked like a female cab driver, so no one really recognized me, which was perfect. I wanted to surprise Lauren, and Joe, because they had no idea I was picking them up. 

A few moments later, I saw Joe and Lauren walking out of the gate entrance, with baby Beth in between them, holding both of their hands. and looked around. Many people crowded around them, taking pictures, and asking for autographs. Joe looked like he was starting to get very annoyed, but kept his cool. Lauren finally spotted the sign I was holding with their names on it, and pulled Joe through the crowd to me. 

"Hi, we're Mr. and Mrs. Perry." She smiled "We're going to St-"

"Steven Tyler and Mia Lynn Parkers residence? Yes I know." I grinned

They both gave me a very strange, and creeped out sort of look. 

"How'd you know?" She asked me, warily.

"Oh no...." Joe said. "Fuck. Baby, she's a crazy fan." He whispered into her ear, though I could still hear him. He picked Beth up, and held her close to him. 

I took off my sunglasses and grinned. 

"I'm as crazy as they come." I chuckled, as Joe's face screamed of relief, and Lauren began to tear up, and jumped into my arms.

"OH MY GOD, MIA!" She screamed and squeezed me tightly. "Don't ever do that again," She laughed "I swear we thought you were a psycho killer or something!"

"No, never" I giggled, "Hey Joe." I smiled as he hugged me. When we broke apart, Beth reached out for me. "Aunt Mia! Aunt Mia!" I took her out of Joes arms and hugged her tightly as she wrapped her little arms around my neck.

"How's my big girl?" I asked "What are you? 15, now?" I chuckled

"No, Mama Mia! I'm almost 2!" She giggled her adorable giggle, and kissed me on the cheek. 

I guess the paparazzi realized that I was the one picking Joe and Lauren up, because they all crowded around us and began to call out our names. "Mia! Mia Lynn Parker! Joe Perry! Joe, over here! Flash us a smile!" They all called out.

"Come on," I grinned. "Your chariot awaits you."

I lead them out to parking lot, where my car was. They stood and eyed my 65' Beetle. 

"It's so...." Lauren paused. 

"So.... you." Joe finished her sentence 

"Da colors pretty, Mama Mia!" Beth smiled. 

"Why, thank you, darlin'" I grinned and hopped into the drivers seat. Joe and Lauren paused getting into the car. 

"It's... It's safe... Right?" Lauren said, holding onto Beth. 

"Oh, of course it is. It's old, but it's new. I picked her out from a junk yard and had the thing completely rebuilt. She's the safest thing out on all the roads of Hawaii." I smiled, and leaned over, opening the passenger door. 

I let the top down, and looked into my rear view mirror to see Lauren and Beth, giggling like crazy in the backseat, enjoying the beautiful breeze. 

I turned and looked over at Joe, who seemed to be enjoying himself as well. 

About 20 minutes later, we pulled into the garage.

"Oh my god, you still have that thing?" Lauren said, pointing to my surf board.
