"Okay, so let's recap." Brooke said as she sat up, making Steve nod. "We went to Disneyland, we visited Alcatraz, we walked down the Walk of Fame, played games and rode the rides at Santa Monica Pier, saw the Hollywood sign, went to the beach, and got ice cream." Brooke finished her recollection with a nod, a confused look on her face as she looked down. "Wow. We did all of that in three days and we don't even go back to DC until the sixth. What are we supposed to do for twenty more days?"
Steve let out a chuckle before he reached over, moving some hair out of her face. "Well, I have a list that needs to be crossed off and you happen to know a lot about everything."
"You're right! Let's watch Titanic and then I'm gonna make you watch Star Wars." Brooke said, grabbing the remote before she leaned back into the bed.
"Isn't this movie four hours long?" Steve asked, making Brooke shake her head.
"No. Three and a half."
Pepper pulled up to the house, a confused look in her face as she looked at the giant stuffed animal in the driveway. Pepper shook her head, letting out a sigh before she walked into the house.
Peter sat in the living room, looking up from his video game when he heard the sound of Pepper's heels. "Hi, Mom."
"Hi, Petey. I'm sorry I'm late." Pepper said before he looked up, noticing an Iron Man suit sitting on the couch. "What is that? You're wearing this in the house now? What is that? Like Mark 15?"
"Yeah. Something like that." Tony said, glancing at the sleeve that said Mark 42. "Everybody needs a hobby."
The suit walked over to Pepper, who sat down in the chair to take her heels off. "You have to wear your hobby in the living room?"
"Just breaking it in. It's always a little pinchy in the gooey bag at first, so." Tony trailed off, making Pepper chuckle. "Hey, did you see your Christmas present?"
"Yes, I did. I don't know how I could've missed that Christmas present." Pepper said, glancing at the suit as she leaned back and grabbed crayon drawings of Iron Man and Phantom off the table. "Is it gonna fit through the door?"
"Well, actually, it's a good question." Tony said before the suit turned around, gesturing to the front door. "I got a team of guys coming tomorrow. They're gonna blow out that wall."
"Okay."
"Tense? Good day? Huh? Ooh, shoulders a little knotty. Naughty girl." Tony said, the suit walking over to massage Pepper's shoulders. "I don't wanna harp on this, but did you like the custom rabbit?"
"Did I like it?"
"Nailed it, right?"
"Wow. I appreciate the thought very much." Pepper said, turning around in the chair before she stood to. "So why don't you lift up that face mask and give me a kiss?"
