Emma laughed at the little girl that she held at one side of her waist. 
"Lala what do you mean by they got the glow in the dark dancers from your imagination" Emma said stifling a laugh. Lala let out a deep frustrated sigh only causing Emma to laugh more. 
"What I'm saying is last night I made a wish on a star that there would be gween evewywhere and you know that gween is my favwe colwer, soooo that's why there was gween dancing evewywhere." Lala said letting go of Emma's neck and folding her hands in defiance.
"But those where just the dancers wearing glow in the dark outfits with green neon lights." Emma said, not fully getting what Lala meant due to the unnecessary 'w' she added in most of her words. She giggled and tickled Lala's sides trying to get a reaction and cheer her up. 
Lala shook her head and refused to budge. "Don't mind her Lala, she's just trying to use science to cover-up that your wish came true." Said Adeola who was standing in front of them and watching the exchange, trying to stifle her own laughter. 
Lala let out a triumphant smile "See! Addy believes me." Lala said practically jumping from Emma's arms into Greta's. Emma put her hand on her chest as though being stabbed in the heart. 
"What sort of betrayal is this?" She said as she dramatically wiped away a fake tear. A deep chuckle was heard from behind her and Emma quickly turned, recognizing the laugh immediately. 
"Hello Twix" Emma's smile widened as she took in the large structure in front of her. 
"You came!" She said practically squealing. Cole laughed again at her excitement and shook his head. 
"It seems so chocolate." He said shooting her a grin. Emma couldn't help the small blush that spread on her face over the new nickname. 
There was an obvious fake cough behind them and Emma quickly turned back again as she realized her friends were still with her. She grabbed Cole's hand and slightly pulled him to stand beside her. 
"Adeola, Lala, meet Cole, Cole, meet Adeola and Lala." She said moving her hands frantically in both their directions. 
Adeola eyed Cole suspiciously before looking back up at him. "I know you, you're that dude with the hill." Adeola said, squinting her eyes as though trying to see his skeleton. Cole's face turned into a smirk. 
"That's me alright." He said nonchalantly as he shoved one of his arms into his pocket. 
"Who are you?" Lala said her look of defiance back on her small face. She folded her arms and her lips formed into a pout. Cole's grin turned into a smile as he looked down at the girl. 
"I, my friend, am Iron Man." He said joining her to fold his arms drawing a giggle from Emma. 
"No you're not." Lala said as she bent her head to one side and squinted at him as though trying to see some resemblance. 
"Yes I am." Cole said pouting his lips. 
"No you're not." Lala said giggling at the look on his face. Cole huffed before a grin took over his face. 
"You're right. I'm way too handsome to be Iron man." Cole said running his hands through his head and striking a pose, this time, drawing a giggle from Lala as Adeola and Emma shook their heads at him. 
"You guys don't think I'm more handsome than Iron Man?" He said pouting his lips once more. Lala shook her head vigorously. 
"What! See even my shades are way cooler than Iron Man's." Cole said as he pulled his shades out of the case and put them on his face.
