"Hey pa, could you water my share tonight? I wanna go to town and met up with Donny."

Tony turned from the sink to face his son, "Donny is more important than the crops?"

"Well no, but-"

Tony smiled and tossed a rag at Peter, "Then there's your answer. Now come over here and dry these dishes."

"Aw come on, why not?" Peter whined, going over to the sink to dry the dishes.

"Well Pete, it's cause I said so." Tony chuckled when Peter groaned.

"You use that excuse way too much!"

"You'll get to use it one day son," Tony washed the last dish and rubbed his hands through Peter's hair. "Now finish drying those dishes and go water your share."

"Ugh-" Peter swatted Tony's soapy hands away, "Would you stop doing that!"

Tony leaned back and smiled, picking up a dish towel and drying his hands, "No, I don't think I will."

Peter threw his rag down and stomped to the door, "I'm goin to water the crops!" He yelled, picking up his hat and going outside.

Tony's smile grew wider as he watched his sons little tantrum.

Peter grumbled as he pulled out the hose and and turned on the water.

"Go water the crops he said, can't go meet up with Donny he said." Peter grumbled, turning the hose to the right setting and moving on to water the crops.

"Can't go see Donny cause I said so, blah blah blah." Peter continued to grumble, not noticing the stranger that walked up behind him.

"Donny so important you can't take a moment to talk to a stranger?"

Peter jumped from the voice behind him, turning and spraying the person with the house.

"Jesus!" The stranger scrambled out of the way of the water as Peter stumbled to turn off the water.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Peter threw the hose down and went over the stranger.

"It's alright, mind lending me a new shirt?" He asked.

"Sure, it's the least I could do for spraying yours. Come on I'll show you inside." Peter tipped his hat and waved his hand for the person to follow him.

"What's your name by the way? I'm Peter," He opened the door inside and made a motion with his arm to go inside.

"I'm Harley, nice to meet you darlin' " Harley stepped inside and held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you too, but don't make calling me darlin' a habit." Peter took the hand and held a firm grip.

"Habits can be hard to break," Harley smiled. And damn if that wasn't one if the most charming smiles Peter has ever seen.

"Shouldn't you be watering the crops?" Tony walked in from the living room.

Peter dropped Harley's hand looked to his father, "I was doing that and then I accidentally got water all over his shirt. So I'm giving him one of mine."
