I am your driver for today's outing.

Mona is just laying in bed after she had woke earlier. She didn't feel a need to jump out of bed like most mornings. It had only been a couple of days since Robbie arrived and she already feels more relaxed. Knowing she can go hide from the world in his room just takes so much pressure off of her.

Mona knows her friends don't expect her to be perfect like she feels she needs to with her parents but she can't relax either because of the demand for their tutor group. Even when she visited Robbie, she still had to work on the scheduling as it was either not great at organizing or just didn't care for the other four. Part of that is Seki is the only other member that really needs the money as the other three had other ways to earn if they needed. Xandria and James are both not caring while Lisa just likes to go with the flow. Lisa and Seki are great at helping but the first doesn't understand schedules mean precise and the second has a way of doing it that even Mona thinks is a little obsessive. They might not expect perfection but Mona feels a need to keep things running smoothly.

Mona finally opens her eyes and grabs her phone. She has about 10 minutes before she needs to be at breakfast. She will stop and let Robbie know as he likely is going to keep sleeping but their mom won't give him more than two weeks before she expects him. She does not want him to get a job that has him working late. It would mean less opportunities to see him. Mona recognizes that Life Quest might help that and opens it.

Per Diem Quest Complete
Quest: Kiss Robbie
XP: 1

QUEST COMPLETE (XP Recalculated)
Quest: Share Party Pic with Angel
Reward: Free movie tickets
XP: 5 + 5 Bonus, 2X Nemesis - 4x Achievement
Achievement: Assist a Life Quester to embrace Life Quest completely (reward 4X for last quest)

Mona dismisses the notifications and notices that the repeat quests will be just steady XP. She will have to look up what per diem is as she knows the word but maybe has a meaning she is not quite sure how it fits.

She also assisted Angel in what way as that is not what Mona would do though it will be a nice chunk of XP. She wonders who the other Life Quester is as she suspects Angel but can't ask Robb.

Life Quester: Desmona Fields
Quest: Chauffeur Robbie for a shopping trip
Level: 19
XP: 1/20
Class: None
Perks: Soothing Hands, Do Knots
Perk Points: 18

Mona smiles at the quest and going to make fun of Robbie about that. She already knew that he wanted to go around to find what gadgets he wants and it will just be them. It will be a good time showing him around. Might only be a couple of hours but for her it will be fun that makes the rest of the day feel like it will be great.

Mona checks out her new perk as she moves to get out of bed.

Do Knots: Knots are almost like magic to you so that making or unmaking is trivial.

Mona is about to close the app when she sees that there is a tab for a perk store. She will browse when she has time but it is not important at the moment. Once dressed, she heads to knock on Robbie's door which gets some mumbles. She heads to breakfast.

As Mona enters the dining room, she sees Angel is already seated with her mom as she hears her dad on the phone in the kitchen. For her dad to be on the phone, he must be going to have an early showing today. Not a common thing but often enough to know that it will be a quiet breakfast so as not to distract him. Mona lets her mom know that she did knock on Robbie's door.

Ellen was just putting the leftover breakfast on a platter for Robb when he got up and discussing with Mona about what the day was going to be like. Ellen wants Mona to join her at the gym since school is not a full time job while Mona wants to have as lazy a summer as she can. While the debate is going on, Robb enters the kitchen with eyes barely open.

Ellen turns to her son, "Good morning, baby bear. Help me convince your sister to join me at the gym."

Robb sleepily goes, "Huh?" as his mom pushes the food to him which he actually is interested in.

"I want a lazy summer. Why is that so horrible?" Demon whines.

"Have you ever had a lazy summer?" the food focused and rather be sleeping Robb asks.

Ellen jerks her head like she has been slapped. She thinks of the saying about mouth of babes and feels ashamed. She never thought about how her daughter never had the normal summer vacations as summers were always filled with some activity or camp related to school. A life with a job is not far away and the ability to have a summer is unlikely to happen for many years. Ellen recognizes that she needs to have a talk with Mark about their middle child. She exceeded what they ever expected of her.

"Never mind, it is ok. I was just wanting some company some times. How about you join me, baby boy?" Ellen turns her attention to Robb.

"Maybe, still need to get settled." Robb replies without really paying attention as the food is what he is interested in.

"Ok, do you want to go check it out with me tomorrow?" Ellen baits her son with him not thinking about anything but the food.

"I can." Robb shrugs to show did not really matter.

"Ok, I will give you times tomorrow. I am off to get some of housework done before going out for groceries. Text me if you want something from the store," Ellen tells her kids and gives each a peck on top of their head before leaving.

Demon is feeling sad, happy, uncomfortable and so many other things. Her mom not fighting her about the summer just sort of let a wall down for all this.

Robb noticed her face while eating and just waits to see what will happen.

As Robb is slowing down as his platter of food is almost gone, "You know that you agreed to go with mom to the gym, don't you?" Mona chimes at him with a devious smirk.

"It will make her happy and does not mean I will do it again," Robb shrugs.

"Ok. Guess you were paying more attention that it seemed. Also want to know why you phrased the quest in the way you did."

Robb thinks for a few moments about how the penalty works and it say about the program and not what he does. He contemplates how best to not give too much as he replies, "Just a joke."

"Chauffeur? That is a joke? I thought you might be teasing me to actually be that today," Demon shakes her head.

"Oh, what time do you want to go?" Robb asks as he takes his dishes to the sink and starts rinsing everything to put in the dishwasher.

"Would after lunch work for you? I was hoping it would be. Going to be doing some tutor prep."

"Works for me. Grab me when you are ready as going to test setting on some of my games."

Demon sticks her head in Robb's room informing him "Ready to go and will meet you at car."

"Ok," Robb says as he stands up and makes sure he has list with prices. He knows so many like to just use their phone but he prefers the simple piece of paper for these things. He makes sure his wallet and phone are in his sling and shuts down his pc.

As Robb steps out of the front door to see Demon holding the back door of their mom's crossover open. He stops and stares as it does not make sense.

Demon with eyes full of tears says in a timid start to then become a professional tone, "Robb, I... Sir, I am your driver for today's excursion."

Robb attempts to ask what is going on but the same thing happens to him, "Wha... That is good. You do know what my plans were for this trip?" Robb then moves towards the vehicle. He tries to fight it but after a few seconds it is like his mind just accepts what is happening.

"You wanted a brief tour as well as some electronic shopping."

"That is correct. I hope to have this over in less than two hours. Is that possible?" Robb conveys as he enters and proceeds to buckle himself.

"That should be simple depending unless you are trying to visit every electronics store." Demon informs Robb as she closes the door and proceeds to the driver's side and enters.

Brother and sister are mentally stuck in the their roles though Robb has some freedom when inside the less than a handful of local businesses. Robb feels so bad that he texts "Sorry!!! :( " to Demon but does not get a reply. He does find a mic that has a damaged box for a good discount and a cheap display model of the cam he wanted as there just the camera and cord that had a 2 week return.

Demon gives a quick tour of the city before they get home. Once Demon opens the door and Robb steps out of the back, they both sag as they had been so tense that letting it go almost made them collapse.

"Ok, I know that was not intentional but never do that again!" Demon spits out with anger as they hear the chime of her phone. She moves up to Robb and hugs him.

"I understand. I am being careful but imagine if a word like **** was used," Robb states with a huge shiver.

"At least there is a trash button for quests. With not being able to discuss more then I need some private time to fix my head. Can we do another movie tonight?" Demon inquires, "And just us two in your room if we do. I don't blame you but I know that will help me feel better."

"Ok, we can do that and I am going to go set up my new stuff. Want to do it after dinner or later for before bed?" Robb asks.

Demon turns her head just enough to give a peck to his collar bone that she can reach and they hear a chime from her phone as she goes, "Bedtime!" and runs in the house.

Robb follows her and she is already gone. Robb is glad she is not mad at him but he has to be more careful is what is occupying his mind. Robb is trying to hammer that into his brain during the time he sets up his new equipment and begins testing it. Robb is tempted to go browsing in Quest Master but figures that it is smarter to not do that while still upset.

Mona drops on her bed and just lays there. She knows Robb is not to blame but being stuck like that was unreal as her thoughts and body kept her in the role of a chauffeur. Mona will check the app after a quick nap to try and recharge.

"Maybe there is a perk that will help me," Mona mutters before she falls asleep.
