Sunnydale AU: Pizza is serious business.
Sep. 9th, 2010 11:25 pmThere are certain difficulties surrounding the trip to Modesto with Sherlock and Tony - namely, that he wouldn't be allowed to go if Mother found out who he's going with. And she would find out. Normal kids can just lie about spending a night at someone else's house or whatever, but Cal isn't normal. Cal gets to have a bodyguard whenever he leaves the house at night. An after-school visit to Sherlock he could get away with, but a trip out of town is a little more complicated.
In the end, Cal decides to just cut right to the chase and make an appeal.
But not to Mother. He does give Mother the overnight-at-a-friend's excuse, and then he catches Peter during a quiet moment and does something that is distinctly unique in the Chandler household: he tells the truth. He can't hoodwink Peter, but he can get him on his side. He's pretty sure.
"- and I know you have to know this stuff, but I don't see why Mother has to know."
"So you want me to lie to Mrs Chandler about your company and your whereabouts so you can have pizza."
Cal tries not to smirk. "Does that mean you're also gonna tell her how you've let Sherlock break in twice without having him arrested?"
Peter's eyes narrow. Cal wins.
There's still a bodyguard following him when he arrives at the Stark residence, but that's okay. A visible guard when he leaves town is something he's used to. For him, it is normal.
