Chapter 13
"Mommy. " Harmony hugged her tired mother's leg.
" Hey Sweetheart. " Poppy smiled.
" Wait! Mrs Timberlake. Can we just chat real quick while your still here?"
The mother stiffened at the request. Her eyes drifted down to her innocent daughter who was still hugging her leg. Harmony's head tilted up gazing up at her with a sweet smile,pure adorable shimmer reflecting in her eyes, freckles that sparkled and fuffy blue mane of hair framing her face. A face you expect a angel to make but, this was Harmony. Poppy understood her daughter wasn't perfect even for Rock Tribe standards which were already messy on their own merit. At some point her and Branch would have to talk to a teacher but, Branch wasn't here.
Poppy sighed. " Is this important?"
" Well you see... Please just come inside the pod and sit down. " Miss Robin gestured for them to follow after her.
That reponse raised a question in Poppy's mind. What did her daughter do? What did Harmony do that warranted being stopped by a teacher whille all of the other parents had already left with their kids. Her and Harmony should be heading to Grandma Olivia and Grandpa Noah's house to pick up the eggs. The eggs! There's two of them. How are her and Branch going to explain that situation? Harmony possibly being in trouble and two babies on the way. Just great.
Typically tiny Rockers were expected to cause choas or get into mayhem but, this wasn't Valcano City nor was Harmony the craziest trolling. That still didn't mean Poppy wouldn't assume her daughter did something wrong in this situation. Might as well rip off the bandaid. Hopefully her little Rockstar didn't do anything she did when she was Harmony's age with her blissful innocence and unintentionally too questionable methods. Obviously nothing extreme. Five year olds aren't born psychopaths nor are they taught to be complete terrors.
Harmony let go of her parent's leg reaching upwards for said parent's hand. Poppy watched as Miss Robin stepped into the pod fading from view. Getting down on her knees bringing herself closer to Harmony's level, Poppy returned her line of sight to her little one locking them. That little trolling's momentary angelic cuteness remained present like she could do no wrong. Despite the fact she had ready proven this morning that mischievous said otherwise. The little girl made popping sounds as she began drumming on her mother's resting in her lap hands.
" Harmony. Sweetheart,is there anything you want to tell me before I talk to Miss Robin?"
Harmony stopped drumming with the Cheshire Cat grin and fireworks exploding within her eyes.
" I made a new friend. His name is Emerald. We drew pictures. He said that,that da the Funk Babies come from spaceships. I told him da me and the eggs came from a Dragon. Minnie said she came from a stork. And- and Perry and Tyler aren't engaged anymore and Perry was sad mad so I did what you did when Auntie Barb was sad mad over Mister Flint. Perry happy now. " Harmony rambled.
" What do you mean by-"
" Mrs Timberlake?" Miss Robin interrupted.
" In a minute..." Poppy sighed.
Time to get that bandaid ripped off then they can go visit Granny and Grandpa Noah. Hopefully Branch will be there by the time they arrive. Maybe he could lighten the news a bit so the weight of their explaination and prevously mentions news doesn't crush them to death. Poppy carefully rose up from the wood of the fuzzy tree branch dusting off her her purple uniform. Harmony jumped at the opportunity the second her mother offered her open palm. Poppy smiled adoringly at the reaction finding it hard to believe that this little sweetie could had possibly done something bad,despite knowing better.
The duo walked into the class pod which was somewhat of mess. Some toys either out of place or lounging on the floor at the back. Paint stains and crayon marks on tables. Unused paper resting on a couple random tables. Paint brushes,paints and crayons were all packed away. This was far better than what Poppy was expecting a class of five year olds to look like after several hours. Harmony pulled on her to a few chairs near Miss Robin's desk. The teacher pulled out a tin of biscuits lifting the lid revealing choclate chip,nutty,plain and sugar sprinkled biscuits.
" A cookie before we begin?" Miss Robin smiled.
About to reject the offer a small hand pulled on Poppy's jacket. She looked down at the owner of said small hand but, got no reponse. Just silence and the puppy dog eyes she herself taught Harmony to mess with her husband and help Harmony have a fighting chance against her father for treats. Not single wave of regret washed over but, Poppy still chuckled knowing she was losing to own passed down tricks.
" Okay but, just one. We need to got see Granny Olivia and Grandpa Noah ASAP. "
Poppy tapped the tip of Harmony's nose. The begger's spark flashed back with a sweet tiny smile gracing a reappearance. Miss Robin watched fondly over Harmony's silly antics while Poppy took one chocolate chip cookie placing it into Harmony's hands. Beaming with excitedment she held the treat close to her body then looked up at both her mother and her teacher. Before Poppy could even consider saying the classic "And what do we say?" a soft thankyou blessed both adults.
" Your welcome, Harmony. " Miss Robin smiled.
" Now what is this about? We have somewhere to be and I'm not sure how long my husband and his family are willing wait for us right now. So just lay it on me. What did this cute monster pull? Disrupt class? Cause chaos? " Poppy admitted.
" Actually Harmony is the most well behaved. She loves helping around class. Also she accident left these lovely masterpieces on her desk. Congrats on the eggs. I'm sure they will turn out just as good and sweet as Harmony. "
Miss Robin handed over three drawings. The first of the three a dragon made of stars delivering eggs. The second was a either a skull with bat wings and a bow or Debbie,Barb's pet. Debbie still delivered letters from Barb and to her as well occasionally. Branch,Poppy and Harmony always let the critter crash by them for the night without hesitation before sending her off with their letters. Lastly the third drawing looked like a troll but, Poppy couldn't put her finger on who it was. All she could tell was that they had a guitar sitting on their head. A puzzled expression spread across Poppy's face. If Harmony wasn't a issue in class then why did Miss Robin stop them?
Poppy looked up from the last drawing. " Oh hmm... Thanks but, I'm sorry. Why are we here if Harmony isn't causing choas?"
Clearing her throat the teacher brushed a random displaced strand of hair of her face. Her hands came together with her fingers lacing. Miss Robin stiffened in her seat trying to find the right words to describe the incident at hand. It took her a moment to find a leg to stand but, a nervous laugh still escaped the professional teacher.
" Well... Mrs Timberlake, Harmony had a little mishap with Perry. I'm sure she had good intentions but, Perry didn't understand until Harmony explained what she thought what the phrasing meant and Perry happily claimed it and said it. I have no cussing policy for that reason. Harmony sweared and taught Perry to swear. " Miss Robin scratched the back of her head.
" Actually..." Poppy paused " That tracks... What did she say?"
" Harmony said and I quote " Boys will annoy your heart and ball your fists but, you'll always be a bad bitch."
Poppy bursted out laughing instantly recongizing that specific line.
