The Preserve (on the way to the dorms) - Saturday Morning

[notagoose]

Goose had been up early to do his usual morning training session and go for a run. He was unaware of anything unusual happening at the moment and had started to make his way back to the dorm.

Star looked up at him, still with her arms around his waist, "My name's Star," she corrected, "I was named after mum,"

Goose had so many questions that he wanted to ask but had no idea how to go about them, finally he gently pried her hands from his waist to guide her over to the tables that were nearby. He indicated Max to follow as well, which he did, and soon the three of them were seated down at the table. Star next to Goose, Max on the other side.

They were quite for several moments before Goose finally spoke, "how...I mean ... is your mother ..." his voice trailed off before glancing up at Max.

"Aunt Darkstar and Uncle Stingray live with us," Max supplied, "along with mine and Josie's mum, so it's kind of crazy but it works, we're happy," he shrugged, "I can't say too much about our future timeline, it's still quite a long way from this point but ..." he glanced at his sister, "Star's 5 and I'm 16 ...I go to school here but Josie's who's, 18 went to Albert Einstein for the Gifted and is now at the Academy,"

Goose raised an eyebrow at the mention that he lived with Darkstar and Stingray in the future, so that meant at some point they must have resolved their differences to the point that they could live ambicaly together. He was still curious about how Star had come into the picuture, which he knew wasn't a topic from the way that Max had spoken.

"I see..." he replied softly, "it's just ...well, the last time I met Darkstar, we didn't exactly part in a good way,"

"We know about that," Star chimed in shyly, "you told us that in the past you weren't very good friends but you were able to resolve your differences so that you could raise us,"

Well it had been a crypted version of the truth anyway.

Max knew more about his father's past with Darkstar and Stingray so he didn't say anything to correct Star's version of events, he just sent his dad a look as if to say they're not going to tell her until she's older.
