Chapter five - shittt bro

Time passes and wow look it's 4pm and Arlo is at Lego park standing in front of Nick (from big mouth). She had forgotten how short he was. "Soooo why did you tell me to meet up here exactly?" He asked, looking at his phone. "what????? YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO COME" Arlo was on her last straw. "Oh yeah,,, I guess I did" he looked up "you know what?? I'm sick of this, I'm breaking up with you,, you don't talk to me for weeks on end, you don't show up to school and then you just SWITCH SCHOOLS WITHOUT TELLING ME" "oh nooo don't break up with me" he said with a sarcastic expression on his face. Arlo was real pissed at this point "you're not even going to be a LITTLE bit remorseful???" "Hey look I've been really busy working on my show, Big Mouth, watch season 4 on Netflix now" Nick did finger guns as Arlo turned around and started to walk away "we are done" she said whilst making weird sobbing noises. Nick said nothing as she walked away, he just stood there, scrolling on his phone like nothing had happened. His lack of care for the whole matter was what upset Arlo the most, but it was over now.


The next month was a relatively good month for Arlo all things considered, the holidays had started which meant a whole lot of movie nights and uno with Batman and the gang, Harry Styles was coming over once a week for driving lessons and to play piano with Arlo, her arm had completely healed at this point so she could play complete pieces again. Whilst watching all of the ice age movies in order (it was Robins turn to pick a movie) Batman took Arlo aside. "Hey" "Hey??" Despite living in his house for over a month, Arlo really hadn't talked to Batman all that much, he wasn't really a communicative guy "I just wanted to say, that I think you're a pretty cool temporary daughter all things considered, and I think we should hang out more, do family bonding and stuff" he looked rather shy standing there, with his feet facing inwards. Arlo wondered how he could do that since their lego legs can't really turn . "Still can't make you a hero though" Arlo chuckled "That's fine, living here has been a lotta fun,,, temporary dad" Batman smiled, even though he won't admit that he did.


All wasn't perfect however because Arlo's parents were still missing, Barbara was coming to meet her once a week to tell her everything she could about the case, it wasn't a lot though as a lot of police information had to be confidential. The most that they got were the parent's finger prints in various locations around the city, meaning the they likely weren't kidnapped and were still alive which reassured Arlo. However it also meant that they knew they were being tailed by the police making them on the run.


One day, Barbara and Arlo were having a meeting in the kitchen "There really wasn't a lot found today sorry, they seemed to have gone off the map completely this time" Barbara said with sympathy and pity in her voice. It was at that exact point that Harry Styles strutted in the room with tears in his little black Lego eyes "IVE BEEN ROBBED" he cried, britishly.
