[Jimmy's walking down the street near the fountain, uncharacteristically bright smile on his face. It's obvious he doesn't know he's recording this, since he's not at all paying attention to the camera. His pace speeds up a little as he heads towards the fountain, the tone in his voice full of amusement as he calls out.]

Hey, Tommy, c'mon, I'm not gonna chase you!

[That is, however, exactly what he starts doing. There's a little kid running in front of him, a boy of about four, who seems completely unconcerned with the fact that he's in a new and unusual place. He's running, giggling, holding onto a bag of candy, and Jimmy's following behind him as closely as he can.]

All right, all right, slow down! You're too fast for your dad, kiddo.

[The little boy sits down on the edge of the fountain and pops a piece of taffy into his mouth. Eventually, Jimmy sits down beside him, brushing the little boy's hair out of his eyes. The little boy looks up at him, looking serious for a moment, and asks "Where's mommy?"]

Well, y'know...

[Jimmy pauses for a minute, slightly uncomfortable, and then grins down at the kid.]

We're on a little vacation, just you 'n me, okay? Just the guys. Mommy's at home, workin' on her paintin', and y'know she can't get anythin' done when we're havin' this much fun.

[He ruffles Tommy's hair, then immediately realizes his device is on, and switches it off with a bit of a sheepish smile.]

[[OOC: Jimmy's son is here for the fourth wall, and you can run into Jimmy and Tommy around the fountain, or anywhere else in town, really!]]

[He waves at Penny enthusiastically, then beckons her over.]

Hey, c'mere. I've got somebody I want you to meet!

Is this your son, Jimmy?

[He's so cute. Which makes sense, since his daddy's kind of adorable.]

Yep, this is him. Tommy, meet Penny. Penny, meet Tommy.

[Tommy waves shyly.]

Hey, Tommy. It's really great to meet you... your daddy talks about you all the time.

[Tommy looks uncertainly at Jimmy, and then at Penny, and then asks in a very quiet voice, "What does he say about me?"

Jimmy just grins.]

I guess he thinks I've been gossipin about him, or somethin'.

Oh--sorry!

It's nothing like gossip, he just says that you're great and that it'd be awesome if you could visit.

[Jimmy nods.]

That's right. You can't imagine how glad I am to see you, kiddo.

[He smiles at Penny.]

I know it's only a weekend, but it's nice, y'know?

It's a lot better than no time at all, that's for sure.

How about you? You see anyone from home? Or anyone who used to be here?

No. That's okay, though. [It really is. The only people who would visit from home are Billy, who is actually a supervillain, and Captain Hammer, who's... well. He's Captain Hammer.] There's plenty to do, and I'm all for meeting new people.

Yeah, I guess you must be pretty busy. There've gotta be a lotta people showin' up at the Welcome Center, right, all confused?

There're a few. It's lucky that most people have friends here--or family. I think it's probably easier, getting help from someone they already know.

Yeah.

[He glances over at Tommy again.]

Y'know, it ain't like we wanna see people we know 'n care about show up here, 'cause it's not exactly a great place, but...

[He shrugs.]

It's nice to see 'em.

Then just make the most of however long you guys have together, okay? If you and Tommy need anything, you know where to find me.

[He nods, and Tommy looks up and gives her a little smile.]

Yeah, I know where to find you. I'm glad you got to meet Tommy, y'know? It's kinda nice, when you talk about someone all the time, to finally get to introduce them to someone.

Well, I'm glad I got to meet him. He seems like a good kid.

[and, to Tommy:] Take care of your dad, okay? Make sure he stays out of trouble.

[Tommy nods at her solemnly and says "I will." Jimmy grins.]

I gotta keep him outta trouble, too, since he's had all this candy today.
