Jackie Lynn Thomas was ridding her skate board through the park. She always skated when she had free time, it helped clear mind. And her mind had many things that needed clearing.

She thought about Marco and their break up, as much as she wanted to she hadn't gotten over it just yet. She wasn't happy about what happened between Marco and Hekapoo, but she understood years had passed for Marco and he needed to move on. She also didn't blame Seraph, the kid was innocent in all this. And she knew she needed to break up with Marco, he was a father after all he should spend time with his daughter and get to know her. To take care of her as much as he needed to take care of himself at the moment.

As she continued to ride on she saw a red blur move past her.

Marco rushed pass her giving her only a second to stop before crashing into him.

She paused and something else speed past her and strike Marco. Marco tumbled backwards and held up a gloved hand, inside the glove was a beaten up base ball.

"Got it!" Marco raised his hand in triumph.

Jackie barely caught a glimpse of all of that as an orange blur rushed towards her, "Dad! You got it!"

Jackie noticed the cheerful presence of Seraph.

"Throw it back!"

"Okay," Marco wound up his arm before throwing the ball as far as he could.

The ball flew into the air and Seraph waited a moment before she rushed towards the ball. She was sprinting faster that Jackie imagined was possible.

Jackie had heard rumors around school of how physically talented Seraph had been, even to the point that sports teams were going to war against each other to try and recruit her.

Jackie now believed them, judging by how fast she was running and how fast that ball went major league teams would scout the girl.

"Uh, Jackie, Hi!" Marco paused to give her a proper greeting. Marco rubbed his arms trying to sooth his soreness.

"You okay?" Jackie questioned,

"Yeah, me and Seraph decided to play a game of catch today and well... Seraph is trying to reign in her throws a bit."

"Dad! Dad! Dad!" With another quick sprint Seraph rushed back to them with the ball. "Hey Jackie Lynn Thomas! I didn't see you there."

"Hey!" Jackie forced a smiled, she remember how the girl asked to be friends with her and she was trying to be nice but it was hard at times.

Jackie knew it was wrong to blame the girl for her break up, especially when she was the one that proposed it, but that nasty feeling was still in her gut.

"What are you doing out here today?" The girls excited voice perked Jackie up.

"Nothing much, it's just a nice day and I thought I would ride my board."

Seraph paused as she noted the skate beneath her feet.

"Oh!" The girl let out, " You seem really good at that. Hey dad can you show me how to ride one of those things?"

Marco scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Yeah, I can't. I never really learned to ride one of those. I have maybe been one ride before with... Jackie."

Both Marco and Jackie looked away as they both recalled their date. Seraph didn't notice as she continued to stare at the new ridding implement.

"Huh?" she amused out loud she thought, "Jackie? Could you please show me how to ride one?" Seraph looked at Jackie, her eyes twinkling.

Jackie paused unsure how to answer, it was an innocent request one that she normally would be more happy to comply with but this felt odd.

"Okay," Jackie let out before she even realized it.

After Seraph retrieved the helmet she had that would fit her horns they got started,

Jackie let her borrow her knee pads and set her on the board. They only paused for a moment when Marco insisted to triple check that she had all the knee pad on right. Jackie tried not to think about how this was so similar to how she shared her first ride with Marco.

One the things that made thins easier was that Seraph was such an athlete, she had great balance on the board. Jackie gave her a nudge after instructing her a bit.

"Okay, just stay like that and kick to the side when you start slowing down."

And with one last nudge she pushed the girl away and rolled forwards. Seraph waved her arms around as she tried to keep her balance.

"Just relax." Marco called to her, "You're slowing down kick the ground again."

Seraph did so and sped up.

Marco smiled as his daughter rolled along, she wasn't moving all that fast but she was doing pretty good for her first ride.

Jackie took a step back and looked at Marco, the way he smiled, they way he beamed as he watched Seraph. He was such a dad, Jackie could tell Marco was ready to bolt to his daughter side if he thought she was going to fall and had to hold himself back not to run after her right then.

There was something Jackie was having a bit of trouble to describe, a certain aura about Marco as he watched his daughter. There was just something so right about him being there with his daughter and taking care of her.

Jackie sighed, she did the right thing, Marco was meant to be there with his kid. Normally a Saturday like this they'd probably be hanging out, if they had stayed together Marco would probably feel obligated to do so, Seraph would probably be fine with it hanging out with Star or her grandparents but they'd lose moments like this.

Jackie still missed being with Marco, even without noticing she found her hand moving towards his to hold. She paused pulled it back before Marco noticed.

"Thank you." Marco's voice echoed.

"What?"

"Thanks for teaching her to skate. I'm not great at skate boarding and... well, she looks like she having fun. So, you know, thanks Jackie. I know this could be a little weird for you."

Jackie smiled, "No problem dude, you're both my friends."

Smack!

Seraph skated into a tree when she found she couldn't turn.

"Seraph!" Marco raced towards the girl despite her seemingly being fine.

Jackie chuckled before she raced after him.

Author's Notes: Hey so I decided to do this story of shorts taking place in my story Like Father Lie Daughter, just stories that I had in mind but I can't seem to fit in the overall plot or the alike. They should pretty much be canon in the story, usually taking place between stories but i might be bouncing around the timeline of events. It's just that it takes my beta time to finish editing the chapters and I feel like I got to keep writing in this world. Anyway, leave a review and tell me what you guys think of doing a bunch of short for this story.

Janna still found it odd that Marco had a daughter, especially the fact that the girl was half demon.

Janna still found it hard to believe that Marco hooked up with that red head chick. She had to admit that the girl was hot. It just made her all the more curious about those abs that Star told her about. The picture Marco kept hidden in his clothes really didn't give her much to work with.

Still having this girl around was a treat. Janna had promised to keep an eye on the girl in any class they shared, like art class.

Janna knew that art seemed to run in the Diaz Family. Marco's dad being a professional artist that dabbled in just about everything. Honestly, Marco never showed that much talent in arts. Marco's drawings were strange, dark, and mostly described as a creepy. Janna liked them but admitted they needed more work, he was going for ultra realistic but his perspectives were wrong. Everything he drew just came out oddly shaped and stretched out. But it seemed that art talent skipped a generation since Seraph was picking art right up.

After accidentally starting a fire on her first day at art class Seraph became pretty popular. Sure, people at first gave her a wide birth to make sure they were fine but Janna didn't fear that. After all, she was Marco's daughter how dangerous could she be?

She was Marco's daughter, she had shades of her old man's safety concerns.

"Okay do it!" Janna said excitedly.

"Okay, give me a second." Seraph raised her hand and focused, "I should practice this more."

Seraph started to chant some vague almost grunting foreing words and waved around her hands like she was slapping the air. Her mouth almost looked like it had taken on impossible shapes as she spoke. Strange runes made of flames manifested in the air as she spoke and just as quickly vanished.

Then she tapped Janna's forehead.

"Okay, there you go, flame shield." Seraph said proudly.

A blue dot formed on Janna's forehead before the blue spread across her body covering her and her clothes.

Janna felt fine but looked blue, it was a spell Seraph knew that would protect her from heat and flames. Seraph wasn't an expert in magic, she knew far less magic than even Star but she could still use some small spells. This one was one her mom taught her in case something ever came up.

"Okay, let's do this." On their second day they were pretty much told to do some sort of art project with the remains of what Seraph set on fire.

Seraph had picked up the metals legs of the table and focused her gaze on them. Soon they began to hover before her as they turned white hot and melted. Seraph waved her hands sticking out her tongue as she did the metal shifted and moved to her motions.

"Okay that should do it." Seraph told her as she held out her hand keeping the molten ball a float.

Janna was giddy as she gave the ball and experimental poke. Then she grabbed a pencil from a nearby desk and used it to poke the ball. The pencil quickly caught on fire, Janna quickly blew it out.

"The spell is working!" Janna smiled before she shoved her hands in the molten metal.

She pulled out a chunk of melted metal and started to shape it like it was clay.

"Tell me if it starts getting hard." Seraph told Janna.

Janna smiled, while everyone else was making carvings or painting or whatever they were literally reshaping metal using magic.

Seraph focused waving her finger as the metal started to shape its self into a bird at her silent command.

After that people started to get a lot more friendly with Seraph. But also from that day on Janna and Seraph were always to partnered up during art class.

Now they were doing partner paintings, they draw each other's portraits not showing until they were done. It was a fun assignment that really let everyone experiment.

Janna was busy mixing reds, yellows, and oranges into the background trying to capture the girls wild energy and passion.

They were having lunch together with Marco and Star. Seraph gobbling her food down as quickly as she could.

"Are you actually tasting it or just swallowing?" Marco asked his daughter.

"Sorry dad," Seraph said between mouthfuls. "I just want to get back to working on my painting."

"I know, just make sure to actually eat. I don't want you to choke." Marco scolded his daughter lightly.

"Right," Seraph relented as she finished her lunch in a much slower rate."Okay, done! See you later!"

Seraph didn't wait much more before she excitedly rush off.

Marco shook his head, he was happy enough to know that his daughter had found something she was passionate about.

Star drank her favorite chocolate milk as Janna thought up something.

"Hey Marco!" Janna began, "So, what's the deal? Are you gonna start dating again soon?"

The milk Star had been previously drunk spilled out and Star began to cough.

"Janna!" Marco scolded her and he handed Star some napkins.

"What? I'm just curious daddy." Janna teased him wriggling her eye brows at him.

Marco groaned, the word feeling so wrong when she said it, "Janna, I asked you not to call me that."

"Well, maybe I won't if you answer the question. I mean, it's a pretty valid question. You broke up with Jackie not so long ago, are you planning to start dating soon? I mean, what kind of girl are you interested in?"

Star didn't say anything just stared at Marco, as did much as the lunch room who suddenly found themselves curious as to the conversation. Odd that most of the ease dropper were girls.

"Answer the question Diaz." Star glanced at Marco.

Marco just sighed, "No I don't have plans to start dating any time soon."

"Oh," Star said in a tone Marco couldn't quite place.

"No, it just doesn't seem right. I'm still trying to settle back and Seraph is still getting used to this dimension. I just want to be there for her, I just don't have it in me to get into a relationship right now."

"So, what about the other thing?" Star asked avoiding direct eye contact. "What kind of girl would you be into?"

Marco paused, "I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it. I mean, I guess I'd like to be with someone I get along with, someone I click with, someone who get's me, you know?"

Janna looked at him nonplus, "Yeah, that's super vague."

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not sure. The only thing I really know is that they'd have to get along with Seraph."

"Wait what?" Janna did a small double take.

"I mean, yeah, I'm a dad now so I gotta think of my daughter. Anyone I date would end up spending a lot of time with Seraph too. I have to make sure they get along, they have to be cool with me being a dad. It's a lot to take in, I'm not sure there are a lot of people who could take it. Its pretty weird."

"Aw!" Star cooed, "That's actually pretty sweet."

A lot of the girls in the lunch room who had heard this discussion and agreed with Star's sentiment. They all found it very sweet that Marco put so much thought for Seraph sake and putting so much effort to be a good dad.

"Janna?" Marco raised an eye brow, "Why are you smiling like that?"

"Oh, am I smiling?" Janna was grinning, "I guess I just think it's nice that you'd be interested in a girl who get along with your daughter."

In the art room Seraph work on her portrait. It was the portrait of Janna, she'd gotten a lot of tips from her grandparents to try and make it better. Seraph planned on giving the portrait to Janna when she was done. It was just that Janna had been so nice to her since she arrived. It was hard at times for Seraph, it was a whole new world and it didn't help that she couldn't share every class with her father. But that was where Janna came in, Janna was there to help her when her father couldn't. On her first day when she had that accident in art class Janna helped put out the flames and kept her from panicking. All the other kids were weary of Seraph after that but Janna wasn't, she was happy to help her out and partner up with her. Janna helped Seraph settled in until the rest of the class got comfortable with her.

So to thank her Seraph wanted to do a good job on it. Seraph took some liberties with the portrait to have Janna sitting on a throne of skulls as she held a scepter glowing with eldritch light. And unlike her father Seraph was actually able to draw realistic, capturing Janna's likeness with ease.

She only hoped that Janna would like it.

When Janna saw the portrait she cried tears of joy.
