[Zayn]

Zayn jumped out of the car with Niall behind him. He flapped his arms around as he twirled in his Woody suit. "Look at me!"

"You look amazayn," Harry said with a grin, and Zayn giggled. "You shaid Jayn."

"I did," Harry confirmed, his dimple showing. He looked at the others, and Liam patted his back. "Now you've got Zayn to cheer you on."

"Harry's done that to me too!" Lux laughed. "The light was...fluxuating."

"Hey, you remember," Harry said and high-fived her. Niall laughed. "I remember that one, the power had cut short."

Louis cleared his throat and ledges his fingers under his Luigi suspenders. "Next pair of houses. On we go, team, gang, whatever we are."

"Fwiendsh!" Zayn exclaimed at the same time as Liam yelled "toys!" and Lux squealed "lollipops".

Louis grinned. "That's the spirit, and Lux love, we're still not lollipops. Let that dream go."

Zayn looked at her with a frown. What were they talking about? Why didn't he know? "What?"

"I dreamt that boys were lollipops, Harry was the big rainbow one," Lux said longingly, and her sudden passion for lollipops gave Zayn a sudden craving for one too.

"Can we get a lollipop?" he asked, grinning toothily. Oh well, half toothily since the two gaps in his teeth were filling. His new tooth was coming in place!

"Sure, but don't you have some in your candy bags?" Louis asked as they turned the block. Zayn smiled sheepishly. "Niall and me eat all of it."

"Hey, he offered and I couldn't say no," Niall said as he quickly turned his head away.

Liam stopped walking. "Look at me, Niall."

Niall slowly looked at him and smiled innocently.

"What's in your mouth?"

Niall swallowed and then smiled again. "Nothing."

Louis gasped. "He's been stealing your candy!"

Zayn gasped. Lux glanced at him and followed lead, her gasp the loudest of them. Actually, she sounded like she was fainting.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked Lux worryingly.

"Shh, I'm fine," she whispered quickly.

"I'm okay," Zayn piped up to Harry, though nobody had asked. Somebody should ask though.

"Here we are, kiddos. Hurry up, it's starting to get cold," Niall said, rubbing his black sleeved arms.

As Lux and Zayn climbed stone steps to the front door, Zayn couldn't prevent himself from turning to her. "He shaid kiddosh, kiddosh mean me."

"He calls me kiddo too," Lux defended. Zayn gasped. "No! He only calls me. Jayn'sh Niall's kiddo."

Lux huffed as she knocked on the door. "He's my Niall too."

"Yeah, but he's my Niall Niall," Zayn said, though that had made more sense in his head.

Lux shook her head in confusion. "I know him fiwst."

Zayn's face fell and he took a step back. "But he not love you mowe because of that?"

Lux tilted her head. "Don't be sad, he love us both. That's what mum says."

"But-" Zayn struggled as he tried to express his feelings in the right way. Lux knocked again since no had opened the door. No one answered so they turned around disappointedly.
