meanwhile



we cut to albion where we enter one of kathys bakeries still closed, Dimitri and lien-da were the only ones present



Dimitri" I am truly sorry you have that experience, never did I imagine krogok would return in that fashion much less try to bring you back into that fold" Lien-da" yes well... perhaps it needed to happen to patching up old wounds, and never did I think I would stand my ground and defend killer of all people... " Dimitri" well not to give him any kind of case but he was right, chaos is controlled by the user its only a matter of how you control it, if you really wanted to you could have controlled killer at that moment " Lien-da" and what of the very off chance I slip even for a moment the second I lose my grip the inch is all she would need, I don't even want to imagine what she would do to me, my fears wreck me enough, her paranoia she puts on my jsut for hero own enjoyment kills my sleep, sometimes I feel like I age faster now because of her, but again this is just' Dimitri" you do not need to punish yourself ' Lien-da' but korgak reminded me why I do it...

(jingle! Jingle!) I'm sorry we're not open to the public y- * as she turned towards the door it was pusheen"



Dimitri" what in the world? isn't that kathy's creature?" Lien-da" yes; pusheen, kathy didn't put any orders in so why would it be here? Dimitri" I always have half a mind to study this creature but kathy refuses to let me " Lien-da" what do you want pusheen, if your looking for free treats I don't have any hear, go run along and find kathy or she'll find you which ever comes first "



???" kupo... " suddenly the sound of another creature was in the room as a small white fluffy creature with a pink nose, and small wings , he had a dangling red sphere on his head like that of an angler fish he was beside pusheen pusheen parked wagging his tail* kupo.. "



Lien-da " not another one DX kathy is going to have to police on ass if she doesn't stop this" suddenly the sphere on the creatures head started to glow as it gave out a energy wave



???" h-hello I was requested to come and assist here at this location" Lien-da" you can talk?" ???" yes, moogles are dimensional creatures and we can adjust to any form of communication" Dimitri" interesting but you say you were here because of kathy?" ???" I have not met, kathy pusheen said I would be a help to your business, my kind tend to be vary attentive to arts od trade, and management and even crafting" Dimitri" crafting? such as?" ???" I have skills in systhetizing different materials to create no ones " Dimitri" color me interested, woudl ou be knowledgeable in chaos elements that deconstruct natural and reconstruct them in a more stabilized manner" ???" I have brothers who know more, but to answer your question yes, but the wright compounds are needed for all of it " Dimitri" that should not be a problem however useing the elements to -" Lien-da" alright alright! this is a science lab! I don't need help and certainly don't need a mascot " ???" but pusheen said he wanted me to assist you here I can help where I am needed " Lien-da" I don't exactly want ot have to convert another form of currency into whatever it is you take " ???" we have no need for money we just like being around communities and learning about the people and the things that hold us together , I was hesitant of even coming myself but pusheen told me this would be a place a never seen before and care from people that were very nice , but if your not needing of me I will not stay where I'm not wanted as he turned away from lien-da lets go pusheen this was a nice offer but perhaps my needs are better else where- "



( Vooshh!)

Kathy" NO!" ???" O O;; " Kathy" Look at you omg your just little white pillow! ;w; as she grabbed him and hugged him tightly of course you an help! and everyone thing " Lien-da" kathy are you sure this is okay?" suddenly ehr eyes glowing dart towards lein-da as she teleported to her Kathy" yes it will be okay. because I said so. she said in a sharp whisper causing lien-da" to fall back( thud!) kathy" so now what your name <3 " Kupo " you can call me kupo " Kathy" well lien-da" will give you the run down and if there is anything you need please just call my name and I'll help with anything at all ^w^ " Lien-da" >< he needs two hands to pick up one doughnut what can he possibly do!? " Kupo"...... suddenly a energy cloud engulfed him as it slowly expanded and vanished suddenly he was the size of kiara looking about the same only this sime people could mistake him either for a little white bear or a koala I'm sure my size isn't a problem I can change on the fly" Kathy" grabs and huggles him tightly* I'm never letting you leave <3 " Kupo" o o;; " Dimitri" welcome to kathy's family kupo he laughed Kupo" before I...get... hugged to death DX it was pusheen's idea for me to come and help, he wanted someone else to come and help you, and after restocking on the treats you feed him he asked for me to join him in his return" Kathy" you got help me? ;w; " Pusheen" standing on his high legs Kathy" oh pusheen huggles him tightly as he licks her cheek <3 heheh x3 "







back with sky that same morning



sky made his face to the kitchen as he placed a lemon tarot pie on the counter as sky let out a small yawn , suddenly he was softly tackled from behind from blaze asshe hugged him from behind



Sky" whoa! I did not hear you at all he chuckled softly Blaze" I could tell, you were so lost in thought I ran up to you <3 " Sky" I take it you noticed you treat from the restaurant the other day" Blaze" nods your just determined to put weight on me aren't you? putting her hand on her hip Sky" its something you enjoy besides I had a shake ice cream shake myself, so how did it go with niyako and nova?" Blaze" -w- well after nova calmed down, we had a light dinner outing and well things mellowed out" Sky" thats good to hear, wild and slice took there leave and I'm sure terra will be here sometime with in the week " Blaze" are you worried?" Sky" no not really even when I talked with her she sort of apologized for going silent the last couple of months and such so will see where it leads " Blaze" well I do hope things pick up as they did before crossing her arms " Sky' same... " Blaze" kisses him on both cheeks thank you for the pie~ Sky" your welcome, can't help but think about you " Blaze" a day never goes by where you don't she laughed " Sky' that's a good thing isn't it~ " hugging her tightly back as he nuzzled her cheek* Blaze" well but I'm sure there are other things on your mind" Sky" yeah.. mhm.. having a tired pitch in his voice as he leaned over on the counter as blaze propped him up Blaze" are you okay ??" Sky" I think I had one too many shots of your cider... " Blaze" oh my, why would you?" Sky" Iguess I tried to be with it with the guys I guess... " Blaze" sigh comes on lets get you to bed*, luck y for you cider doesn't cause that much of a hangover" Sky" yeah lucky for me, so much for messing around tonight" Blaze" there will be others, don't worry as she walked him to bed <3



soon enough as blaze walked sky to the bed room she noticed he was short of breathe, coughing more



Blaze" s-sky?" Sky" I'm fin-..*cough!* I'm fine...." suddenly his voice started to sound horse " Blaze" her ears perked up in shock not with a pitch like that your not " Sky" I haven't had..anyhin.. to.. drink.. this.. morning he started to cough again Blaze" ;w; sky.. I think you have the siren's curse " Sky" sitting down the....at..??" Blaze" the sirens curse is a seasonal fever, its sort of a chest cold where the dry ocean air can make your voice horse to the point you can't speak " Sky"........no.. no I can't get ick.. I have a meeting with terra " Blaze" I will have the cooks prepare a remedy for it if your lucky it will lonely last a day or so, I'll be right back" Sky ( how how could I get sick DX slice and pyro were the only ones everywhere I'm mostly stick here this isn't fair DX )* lying down in bed* at least it doesn't hurt to swallow * as he lied down in bed ( siren's curse , what a name for a chest cold but it makes sense ).... !?! suddenly a fowl odor filled the air as blaze came back to his room



Blaze" hun?" Sky" what is that smell?" Blaze" > >; its a bit ofa remedy I learned during my journeys looking for the sol emeralds and, it really works , os will you trust em on this?" Sky" I try... " Blaze" thank you suddenly back room holding a food tray with a small bowlwith heated broth, asshe took a pair of salad tongues she grabbed what looked like a hand full of sea slugs Sky" what...are those??? Blaze" bubble sea slugs, if you can down a few they will eat away at the sickness and you'll be fine in no time ^^ Sky" this is a joke right... " Blaze" I had the same reaction during my first time, but the women who showed me this said it works, , they sock it up with there bodies you can eat them raw or booked, eat them raw works faster, " Eahh ahhhhhh DX " Blaze" trying not to laugh... I understand but trust me I had this in the freezer for special cases " Sky" coughing*... kitty please...* hiding under the blanket* do you wish to get better or stay in bed the week? " Sky" to get better but... Blaze" now jsut swallow it don't think about the smell; believe me I'm trying.... " Sky" >< " Blaze" or I'll send your little preformance to the rest of the guys" Sky" what?" Blaze" putting out her phone courtesy of slice "



Audio" Sky" sigh fine! I admit it!, your better then me, for all my powers, my reaper abilities my birthright, the amount of respect I try to exhibit towards others I know I have to come off harsh, but you. you get it just from walking in the fucking room! I want that, I am a king I hold the means to keep everyone safe, I help do all of these things any yet more people will dig there heels in the dirt before kathy then me "



Blaze" not just you but wild as well, no one ailcia said you both should get it on" Sky" alright! alright! >< grumbles ... as he picked one up with a soup spoon, clearly you could see it was still moving with life I thought they were cooked..." Blaze" they can survive high temperatures , there bodies soak up the broth which makes it easier to eat and well... > > Sky* sigh* I get it* ....* taking one eating it whole as he swallowed it down I.. can feel it slithering... " Blaze" that means its doing it job down a few more and will let time do the rest " Sky" and if they come back up?" Blaze pushed a plate of peppered macaroni* pepper will keep them down " Sky" groans... your enjoying.. I'm s-s-sure..* ughhh* downing another spoon full* Blaze" ironically this isa specialty dish and your hating every bit of it she chuckled XD " Sky" I wonder what kathy woudl think " Blaze" it the smell wouldn't floor her first " Sky" but who would eat these raw?" Blae" native.. and... I did" Sky" you did??" Blaze" mhm.. I was not proud of it years ago but I go ill during my mission and I couldnot afford to be sick so... I did what I had to...needless to say as much I tried to force it down... I vomited later " Sky" I'm not surprised.. but thank you " Blaze" your welcome~



( Knock knock ) Aqua" you guys were absent for breakfast mom and dad were starting to worry " Blaze" sky is a bit under the weather and I made some home remedies " Aqua" bubble sea slugs?" Blaze" yes" Aqua" good luck" Sky" how do you know of it? " Aqua" mom forced it on me when I was sick, when I little the odor is enough to give me flashbacks" Sky" that bad" Aqua" I remember being stuck at the dinner table... watching them crawl away as if they wanted to live... no thank you! (shut!) Blaze" well your sister appears to be traumatized " Sky" just a bit he laughed " Blaze" hmhm~ so just relax and I will have the nurse see to you in an hour " Sky" if you can this I'm sure you can do your own diagnostics" Blaze" and I'm sure you'd love that, I could "smother" the sickness away <3 as she took the bowl Sky" sure why not? lets try it~ " Blaze" you are such a child...!" Sky" and your a sour puss coughing lightly Blaze" lucky for me you like sour candy..! (shut) looking the door behind her Sky" ( come ot think of it i haven't had sour candy in a while ) >w> " letting out a soft sigh he started to finish the macaroni she left for him





in the mean time as that was happening, returning to Future city with Eulalie and darkfire at here home estate that same morning



Eulalie had just finished her morning routine, walking from the hall to the kitchen she let out small yawn as she reached for a can of coco powder, but it slipped and fell to the floor



(Clank!) reaching down she tried to bend over but her stomach was making it difficult

Eulalie(3 months)" Grrr.....Urgggggg....! ( oh come on DX three months in and an't pick up a simple can by myself! )... straightening her back ><.... * quickly using her tail she she had a magnet strap on it that attached to can to her allowing her to grab it like a fishing lure* sigh.... " Kitsuna" master eulalie is there a issue I heard something moments ago? Eulalie" no kitsuna I'm fine, I jsut dropped a can, and... groans I knew I would need some help here and there but I had no idea it would start off so... " Kitsuna" more then you expected?" Eulalie" maybe.. rubbing her eyes tirsomely I can't work in the workshop without knocking at least one thing over, hence why I turned my tail into a fishing rod.. " Kitsuna" well at least you know it will only be for a short time," Eulalie" I know but still , and I don't want to complain I really don't but.." Kitsuna" but?" Eulalie" I'm... I'm normally pretty chill but heh I caught myself easily getting frustrated some something as petty as darkfire filling the fridge with his dinners that are spicy the odor tents to turn the ridge into a spice cabinet and I'm like I don't want to yell at him for that ..m-maybe I need to get out.. I'm changing aren't I?? , I don't want to lose myself" Kitsuna" suddenly her visor started to blink red now now eulalie its starting again taking her hands remember what we said? " Eulalie" deep breathe... " Kitsuna" gather your thoughts " Eulalie" don't over think it and it will pass... r-right.." Kitsuna" honestly I believe my purpose would be nothing but a house maid for your mansion I did not expect I would be such an integral part of your house hold I am quite honored ^w^ " Eulalie" I'm glad you are she smiled softly*. so where is darkfire I haven't seen him all morning?" Kitsuna" we were out of fresh eggs so he rushed to the market to buy some, and while he was at it he wanted to grab some more diapers" Eulalie" more?! we have a storage closet full! we don't need anymore DX Kitsuna" he seemed so happy how could I say no Eulalie" heh..yeah its uhh.. hard "

Kitsuna" would you like for me to prepare your coco for you?" Eulalie" no no I can do it myself at least while I still can "

as eulalie started preparing her morning beverage

Eualie" usually guys would be stressing out left adn right during a new arrival but darkfire, he feels like the opposite " Kitsuna" yes, hes become more task orientated hes even reorganized his spice cabinet, and I even helped him make a map of the house" Eulalie" Puffftt you made a map of the house? she laughed Kitsuna" yes , it works similar to the mar-keys ina mall , pointing out to the map this shows the living room, the east wing, West wing, front and back, fire exits are marked as well as the bathrooms " Eulalie " never would I imagine I'd need a map for my own house " Kitsuna" perhaps you don't but darkfire.. as you put it was a lost puppy back in the early days, " Eulalie" sigh true" Kitsuna" ( he made me promise never to mention the escorts to the bathroom in the middle of the night to you... )

as eulalie finished her coco she took a seat on the couch in the living room where a flareon was sitting curled up like a loaf in one of the single seated chairs she placed her cup down on the coffee table then casually glacing at the ceiling



Eulalie" ( soon the quiet around here is gonna fade I'm sure ) Kitsuna" (Ping!)... darkfire has returned " Eulalie" !? as her ear twitched she heard the door open and shut as darkfire hovered in slightly above the ground carrying two full bags Darkfire" good morning eulalie Ididnt' think I was going to be long" Eulalie" well I see you had a busy morning " Darkfire" sky always told me no one goes to the market in the mornings I guess doesn't count for everywhere = = alot of elderly shot in the morning " Kitsuna" was it crowded?" Darkfire" no jsut...very...very slow"



flashback

checkout line Elder" how much will be?" Cashier" $35.21 " Elder" checking her bag..... how much will that be?" Darkfire" imagines beating his head against the wall ><;;;

end





Darkfire" just....very slow...." Kitsuna" I feel for the workers.. " Eulalie" anyway. apart from your over stocking on diapers love, what was so important for you to get eggs" Darkfire" you remember those pancakes you liked from the diner when we went to the con?" Eulalie" don't remind me* as her tail swayed from the taste* <3 " Darkfire" I was gonna try my hand at making them, I turns out there was a recipe, they were called the truck stop pancakes " Kitsuna" how original " Eulalie" its just pancakes it can't be that hard " Darkfire" well for a start. you need 5 eggs " Eulalie" five eggs?! you might as well make an omelet! " Kitsuna" (Ping!) you have another guest at the door"

Darkfire&Eulalie" we weren't expecting anyone else?" Eulalie" have you told kathy yet?" Darkfire" no but I'm sure she knows I'm jsut counting the days before she arrives" Kitsurna" I shall put away the items until needed* taking the bags from darkfire" Darkfire" thank you as he answered the door ...?!!?"



Eulalie" 5 eggs,,, is that for one batch? " Darkfire" uhh eulalie?" Eulalie" ??" raising her head her fur spiked as she saw it was neo metal that paid them a visit NeoMetal" hello mother " Eulalie" ... I can't believe this.... digging her hands in to the cushion Darkfire" > >" Eulalie" you called me mother ;w;!! hugs him " NeoMetal" > > unsure how to respond but jsut pats her head " Eulalie" " your girlfriend isn't with you is she T T" NeoMetal" no I am here on my onw accord " Eulalie" lovely, it is nice ot see you even if I hate my daughter in law ^w^ " NeoMetal" shes not.... nothing I say will convince you shes okay will it" Eulalie" you want me to warm up to her she had to do it herself not through you, and even the rivalry her and kathy have going on . can't see that happening any time soon " NeoMetal" time will tell I suppose" Darkfire" so um metal what bring you here so early?" NeoMetal" suddenly his hand retracted into his sleeve and pulled out a letter, placing it on the coffee table for the both of them to see I had to worm my way carefully to avoid breezie from noticing this " as eulalie opened the letter it was a document with insurance card along with it Eulalie" what is this" Neometal" I've created a account that has access too breezie's funds that documents is proof you have legal access, so if there is anything you need, either for yourselves or for the baby, education school whatever, feel free to take full advantage " Darkfire" but metal we have money from that tournament we don't need your money too?" NeoMetal " your money is finite , breezie's is not, save your winnings for yourselves and if I am in the position to carry the necessities then so be it" Eulalie" ;w; neo thats... this is sweet but I couldn't do this well... maybe I could I think I'd feel guilty after a while " NeoMetal" its as breezie said there is no shame in taking what is needed to hold your position she is just as guilty , as any of us, and do keep in mind, I am no saint either crossing his arms but I do owe you a debt and that I will not deny " Eulalie" what giving you this whole new life and tearing you away from being sonic's clone?" NeoMetal" - - that....but the part that plays over in my mind was the day of hellfire's attack, killer would have destroyed me, but you stood between me and her to save me , something to this day I never understood. " Eulalie" oh yeah I remember that xD "



NeoMetal" foolishness , idiocy, your lvoe of making me your own who knows... but at at that moment I didn't feel like a item of eggman's or a drifter longing to be seen as my own self, I felt like.. you gave me a sense of belonging and that was a feeling that I believe can no longer be replicated " Eulalie" tears in her eyes ... my precious baby!! as she cried Darkfire" wow metal I had no idea you felt that way" Neo Metal" my analysis... I had ot think it over for a while " Eulalie" well

in that case I gladly accept this gift and I can't wait for the baby for meet there big metal brother ^w^ " NeoMetal" your welcome, now I am afraid I must take my leave " Eulalie" now the the only thing that would make it completely is if you let me give you a mouth taps his muzzle instead of that voice box " Neo Metal" I am fine" Eulalie" shard can have it why can't you?" NeoMetal" I am not shard T T taking his leave " Eulalie" sigh my boy's all grown up* ;w; Darkfire" it s gonna be a very weird family I'll say wrapping his arm around her tightly "



after neo metal took his leave darkfire took another look at the bank card as well as the papers



Eulalie" so let me guess gonna tell wildfire to keep me from over spending too? XP" Darkfire" he doesn't have to know everything we do.* Eulalie" ooo~ a little secret for us? I don't mind leaning on his side as her tail flickered" Darkfire" don't get too happy, I still ill keep it for things we need " Eulalie" speaking of, we still have to tell poison and wild about the news too don't we?" Darkfire" ...right he said with a soft sigh* Eulalie" whats wrong? wildfire has been more and more warming back up to you hasn't he?" Darkfire" yeah in terms of business , but its...its been so long since I thought of us as family it feels...alien" Eulalie" I'm sure he'll be just fine darkie plus I'm sure he wants to know he'll be a uncle soon and so will alicia being an auntie brushing his cheek Darkfire".... suddenly becoming lost in thought ( Darkfire" you think sins are forgiven?" Keket" I think they are if you truly wish to repent ) Eulalie" look you said you want to make pancakes right?* as she folded up the papers and the card* will put this away for now and lets have breakfast before the time gets away~ " Darkfire" s-sure okay " Eulalie" there ya go kisses him on the head love you~ " Darkfire" I love you too havinga bit more pep in his voice he headed to the kitchen



Eulalie" ( it will take some mending but I believe it can be done ) suddenly the door bell rang oh who is it now? at that moment kathy just appeared in the living room !? Kathy" obviously you know who by now~ " Eulalie" darkfire said he was counting down the days" Kathy" I know DX but I couldn't wait any longer and I wanted to come sooner but then metal showed up and I didn't want to invade on that and now I had a pocket of time and congrats my my ring tail! huggles her tightly<3 Eulalie" thanks kathy I knew this was a long time coming XD" Kathy" yes, we have so much to do planning decorating, even for the room, and the school,- Eulalie" kathy kathy! one thing at a time Kathy" right sorry but hows darkfire taking it " Eulalie" surprising well in fact I think hes been less stressed since I told him " Kathy" well of course he would be a good father" Eulalie" the only... tiny thing right now is that, > >; well him rekindling his family part of his relationship with wildfire, he doesn't really have alot of faith in it" Kathy" .. sigh I can see why, even though he should be fine DX" Eulalie" I know" Kathy" well maybe this will, will tell alicia, then move up to wildfire he at least warmed up to her first. that I'm positive " Eulalie" true~



as the two of the m headed to the kitchen the air was filled with fresh scented batter of pancakes that were cooking on the stove

Eulalie" looks like it was a success <3 " Darkfire" I just hope they taste as good as they look Kathy" I'm sure they will be fine doppo~" Darkfire" and you arrived" Kathy" yes~ I couldn't stay away any longer my doppo is going to be a father <3 hugging him tightly Darkfire" we're all excited kathy very much <3 Eulalie" you want to stay for breakfast? " Kathy" I wouldn't mind but I have some work going on at home myself, and knuckles sort of needs my attention too, but you all will see the fruits of that very soon <3 " Darkfire" we can hardly wait~ as darkfire stacked a play of four for himself and eulalie topped with butter syrup on the table, unable to wait eulalie took the first bite immediately having stars in her eyes* Eulalie" its just like the restaurant ;w; Darkfire" I'm ..actually surprised how accurate they came out owo all fro ma recipe online "



Kathy" so again I'm sorry to cut this quick but I'll ive alicia the news you want to visit- well just her anyway " Darkfire" kathy maybe I'll hold off on-" Kathy" wildfire has changed... the past is the past, " Darkfire" I wish it was kathy I really do... but.. I jsut don't know" Kathy" listen we don't have to rush it, I thought tell alicia would be easier first and then moving up, , would that be okay?" Darkfire" yeah " Kathy" great* hugs him tightly* love you so much~ so keep up updated, oh and lastly you have a name?" Eulalie" uhhhh.. off the top of my head no " Darkfire" marigold" Eulalie" wha?" Darkfire" its um..been a name I've been sitting on for a while now, if its a girl > > Marigold" Kathy" awww see your already ahead of the game XD plus I like it" Eulalie" it sounds fancy, at least my mom won't have any worry , she doesn't like simple names she chuckled softly



Kathy" so how does the pregnancy are you holding up well?" Eulalie" as well as I can but sigh its only 3 months.. just 5 more I should be able to do this.. " Darkfire" hey its no small task, don't push yourself" Eulalie" yeah well heh... its gonna be a trip no matter what " Kathy" well like I said you need anything, anything at all just give me a shout hugs her Eulalie" thank kathy"



* growls softly* suddenly flareon was on his high legs at darkfire Kathy" great he learned how to beg " Darkfire" sort of yea " Eulalie" I told him once would be the downfall but he didn't listen

T T; " Darkfire" I'm weak I admit it ><" Kathy" heh soon you all soon <3 (Vosh!)





taking a short break, we will check back on lilac and co,

( because if I don't I'll never get to it and they will become story relevant I promise. )



Blizzard" lilac do I have to get it removed?" Lilac" but its a eye sore from your past as a pirate wouldn't you want your horns clean and smooth again?" Blizzard" well there is that but at the same time its a symbol of my achievements so I'd rather keep it " Lilac" sigh fine but still your getting your horns polished its the least I can do for you " Blizzard" alright, but what about you?your always on about others but you rarely pamper yourself crossing his arms and you've been growing up alot in more places then one pointing to her chest and her horns* so why don't you be kind to yourself for one day, especially since your finally free from the eggs he smiled a bit Lilac" > >.... " Blizzard" one day at the salon isn't going to break the bank " Lilac" its not only that...I uhh... never gotten dragon care from the salon before " Blizzard" and yet your pushing me to get it T T" Blizzard" look I just got word from carol and stuff and I ran with it " Blizzard" well I guess will find out together" Lilac" hmmm > >;; "



as the both of them walked inside the salon immediately greeted by the staff



Worker" hello" how may I help you? " Blizzard" yes um.. to put it simply both first timers , looking for horn polish treatment for myself and dragon care for my wife ( Lilac ">////> (wife) ) Worker" oh well we do have a two for one deal for new comers if your interested if you get the drago ncare plan one of you can get the other for free" Blizzard" I suppose thats not bad, but watch the engraving I still want it " Worker " of course ^^ right this way "



opposites part of the room both of them were lied down on tables on there back, with with lilac they took the time to tie her hair back exposing much of her horns as possible

Lilac" is this what you always do > >; " Worker" yes, for horn care normally for those with hair we have to tied it back so it doesn't get entangled, first were going to soften sand and clean , " Lilac"?!" Worker" soften the outer shell with a hot coat, don't worry it won't hurt, then then we're going to sand down to a cleaner layer and clean it up fresh and new " Lilac" okay ( I feel like I'm at the dentist against DX ) ... Worker" placed a warm cloth over her eyes while next to her the worker took what look like a small brush of oil and coated her horns and slowly you could see smoke sizzling off of them as her body was shaking from the feeling*

Lilac" it feels weird.. " Worker" so will let that sit for a moment while I get the tool * Lilac" ( you won't catch carol in here I can promise that... ) - - "



???" did you hear the news lately?" said passing voices from across the room ???2" about what?" ???" newer gangs have started turning up since the red scarves have started dwindling, ever since there leader vanished they felt lost and formed there own factions" ???2" that's why they need to be rounded up there nothing but hooligans with no sense of direction" ???" true but the underground is feeding there lust even egg stealers are cropping up , cases haven't been found yet but, word of mouth tend to get around fast " ???2 " easy you know that's still sore spot for some folks " ???" no one would dare in this city. merga would have you hung from the highest mountain, I'm sure that's what happen to toe h scarves leader " ???2" no body knows his body was never even found, for all we know he could be doing ot he samething right now "



Lilac" her heart rate started to pick up as she clinched her hands tightly ( it will be fine it will be fine.. I don't have anything to worry about it , its just gossip talk plus carol and mila are at home the eggs are safe in the chest and ..everything... )



flash back

2 weeks ago



inside there home lilac placed the eggs on her bed, both ofthem had a soft cyan blue coat to them while the surface and bottom had a layer of white around them with a bumpy surface, having them wrapped up in a warm cloth she stared at them both



Lilac" welcome home ;w; Carol" soooo your still hoping its not two boys?" Lilac" don't ruin my moment carol, I swear" Carol" I''m just saying~ " Lilac" groans....*sigh* no matter what I will love them all the same and I promise nothing will take them from me or.. us rather > >; " Blizzard" you still worried about spade? as he sat on the bed next to the eggs Lilac" the rest of my delivery and not one word? its as if hes.." Blizzard" vanished?" Lilac".... its like I'm both worried and relieved at the same time " Blizzard" then maybe we should take the bitter with the sweet , count our blessings and use this time to raise out kin " Lilac" maybe your right" Blizzard" you know neera has been talking about academy enrollments and stuff with me" Lilac" one day at a time please..* leaning her head on his side as she sighed heavily*... "



suddenly a soft humming was in her ear as she looked around then out the window she noticed a dark figure that couldn't be made out as it came closer it was slower calling her name as the humming became louder

end

the lilac ended up falling into a sleep adn the sound of the polisher grinding against her horns woke her up



Worker" is everything alright?" Lilac" o-oh y-yeah I'm fine... I'm fine!...( HHHmmmmmmmmmm...!) I .. just need to relax... "





after the horn treatment was done, shortly after came a scale cleaning , and tail massage or in lilac's case was her hair given her whips functioned liked her tail would, blizzard was finished before lilac a she came to check on her



Blizzard" so enjoying yourself?" Lilac" a little rough in the beginning but its been heaven ever since, I had no idea this is what I was missing out on -w- ( crack) ahh.. a little higher please " Blizzard" they even have a sauna room but that was extra " Lilac" nah I'm good " Worker" I'm happy to hear you've both enjoyed your treatments ^^ " Blizzard" yes, and thank you, so do we pay up front? " Worker" um yes* giving blizzard the check* " Blizzard"......*sees the total before the discount* O O;; holy..." Lilac" something wrong?" Blizzard" no no just gonna play up front~ turning away as he looked towards the worker you charge "THIS" much two people " Worker" the dragon plan encompasses a lot so for two is is expensive , I'm sure you see why for first timers we give a two for one " Blizzard" yeah to get you hooked, I can see how T T"



after lilac was finished she felt refreshed and renewed and her horned even more vivid through her hair as she spun around with a bright smile on her face she met with blizzard in the lobby on there way out



Blizzard" well don't you look fresh as a gem stone " Lilac" I feel like one too, my horns ever felt so smooth, how was it for you " Blizzard" everything was great " Lilac" feel like doing this again next month ^w^? " Blizzard" next month" Lilac" they only do horn treatments once a month" Blizzard" well will see how our budget is at the time >w>" Lilac" oh right the pricing, was it that bad, I heard you went quiet " Blizzard" nah nah its its fine its fine > > " Lilac" come on, what was it this was my idea anyway " Blizzard" reluctant to show her but she took the receipt anyway horn treatment... shining...polish..massage.. .cleaning.... 600 PETALS!?! Blizzard" remember we got the discount" Lilac" so 300 " Blizzard" mhm nods " Lilac"...well so much for making this a couple retreat any time soon > >;; " Blizzard" well will see who knows~ maybe birthday gifts "



immediately taking to the sky, blizzard picked up lilac as they flew back home



Lilac hey blizzard.. " Blizzard" ? hm?" Lilac" I'm not.. do you think I'm being paranoid? " Blizzard" about what?" Lilac" spade , I know hes been gone for months, even after I had the eggs there has been nothing, so much even the red scarves founded a new leader and other groups are forming and egg stealing is on the rising again in some places, I'm a little.." Blizzard" I won't lie its a little concerning but the news can blew things up sometimes you know? merga wouldn't let something like that run rampant , and even the small incidents are always given priority. and I should know, I mean we work for her after all he chuckled softly Lilac" I know but sigh he.. shouldn't get to me but he does.. I just at least want to know where he is" Blizzard" hes out of your life lilac isn't that enough?" Lilac" you think its closure I'm asking for? I feel like I've been left on a cliff hanger" Blizzard" hmm... you might have a point there, eventually touching down by the lake but I suppose having a good job a lake side house, and in a new world of all places, maybe I have very little room to complain" Lilac" only when carol decides to practice her base guitar " Blizzard" okay maybe a little room for complaining " Lilac" as lilac let out a small laugh suddenly turning turning her head she saw something on the opposite side of the lake !? .. it was a figure of a person , but hard to make out wha? who is that?" Blizzard" who's who?" Lilac" there someone standing on the opposite side of the- o o* the moment she turned away then turned back they were gone* lake... " Blizzard" I'm not seeing anyone maybe it was a shadow of the wildlife " Lilac"...... " scratching her head* m-maybe " as they headed inside blizzard himself scanned the surrounding arena ( if there smart they'll stay away... ) wrapping his arms around lilac as they headed inside



Frost" did you enjoy your day at the beauty salon T T " Blizzard" one massage and you'll be begging to go back " Frost" sure snowy, right after I can take my lava bath and claw treatment " Blizzard" your so boxed in " Lilac" how has the eggs been" Frost" same as when you left and the same as they are are now , its not like they will get up and walk away " Blizzard" and if they hatched?" Frost" its too soon " Lilac" I don't want to miss that moment ;w; I have the camera prepped everything " Frost" sigh by the was snowy, merga has been trying reach you, some new assignments " Blizzard" never a days rest is there " while the two had there conversation lilac went upstairs to the children's room the nest with the eggs sitting soundly together sitting down by the eggs her hair tendrils wrapped around them* Lilac" ( I just don't want anything to happen color me over protective but,,,*sigh* ) shaking her head I'm not going to give you my anxiety everything will be fine, because , we're all here, dad here , mom is here and nothing can ever happen to you while we're together <3 "



Later that night

lilac woke up dragging herself from the bed to the bathroom after grabbing herself a drink of water she passed by the egg room and noticed something felt off as she heard echoing voice , turning the light one suddenly she noticed one of the eggs was gone, immediately jumping into a panic she looked towards the window seeing the same figure as before holding one of the eggs , as they ran off into the forest, without thinking she opening the window and jumped down to the ground asshe darted towards them



Lilac" COME BACK WITH MY EGG! " suddenly the figure holding the egg just vanished further away into the forest luring her as she tried to catch up to them eventually the landscape was getting too uneven the traverse through the dark she ended up tripping on a rock ( ha ha ha even like this your still the same its almost sad ) the voice echoed as it paced around her



Lilac" who the hell are you!? you don't even know me!" ???" oh still haven't pieced it together, I knew you needed the extra help" as the figure walked up to her as his mask went up in purple flames showing he was a spade only his eyes were a different color his iris's were black while his pupils were purple Lilac" SPADE!?" Diamond" its diamond now you killed spade last time remember? you and your new boyfriend tossing the egg in his hands like a ball Lilac" give that back- " Diamond" careful I wouldn't want to drop it now would I?" forcing lilac to hold her tongue as she stood still Lilac" ....what do you want... just give me my baby" Diamond" I didn't think how easy it would be to have you on the ropes like this, so emotionally damaged , you couldn't let it go , I let it go, why couldn't you the moment you found out" Lilac" what?" Diamond" why couldn't you just leave me be, you had to be so hell bent on your act ot seeking justice or revenge or whatever, when Iwas doing simply what you do now, I was simply trying to survive giving a stoic look



Lilac" holding her head down I-" Diamond " I don't want an apology lilac the deed is done, and spade is gone, frankly I'm just a puppet to a demon now all because of you, so from an outsiders look , does that seem fair? I say we finally make this even" Lilac" even..." Diamond" and eye for an eye suddenly his energy coated the egg as he made it hover in the air Lilac"... suddenly her face going completely pale knowing what he means..no....no spade please.. I'm begging you. please...please don't " Diamond" simple you hated me so much you brought this on yourself, now I get this one freebie and you never see me again~ " Lilac" THEN KILL ME INSTEAD! " Diamond" why would I do that when I could just make you suffer when all I did was try my best for you I call it the best irony for the way you spat in my face " Lilac" you stole me from my parents.. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT ME TO THINK!? " Diamond" yeah and I lost my family due to a alien and was lied into believing someone killed him, boo hoo join the club " Lilac" ...why are you still like this... you complain about me not changing but your no better, you refused brothers embrace , you refused our kindness, all for the sake of this selfish life style and fleeting struggle and sense of control on your life I guess? we can't change the past but we can make a better future at least.. "



Diamond" there is no better future for me , at the very least I know a the end of the day... we're even " from there location there was a water fall as diamond hovered the egg over the cliff& Lilac" ..Spade PLEASE!! " Diamond" .. I wonder how gravity will treat it " throwing the egg off

Lilac" NOOOOOOOOO!!! as she sprinted towards the cliff but in that second as she passed him he dropped kicked her to the ground then round housed her back into the a tree (BASH!) on impact making her cough up blood Diamond" be glad I'm letting you keep one it would have been easy to scramble two instead of one "



( my my my my.. what do we have here... ) suddenly behind them slayer ascended from the cliff side holding up the egg



Slayer" I grant you great power to serve as one of my soldiers, and what do you do? you emotionally terrorize a soon to be mother to be. this is not what I gave you this power for " Diamond" you said I was free to use it as I please as long as I serve you " Slayer" chaos forbid you do the very specific thing that would be on my unspoken no-no list. and even if I didn't care, mayhem cares and then the whining ensues having his hands behind his back Diamond" what s one egg" Slayer" you are being incredibly petty my good sir, look at yourself look at what you have now, chance after chance after to change thing yourself and you wanted to be a spoiled child , and even reborn you go back t your old ways and choose to steal away a life from someone innocent, jsut like you did lilac " Diamond" I raised her myself! " Slayer" a owner kills the mother cat adopts babies and raise with love and care does that make it good? Diamond" twist it however you want, seeing the look on her face was priceless anyway " Slayer" why thank you~ I will double tapping his cane on the ground

with in that moment suddenly he vomited up a large mass of blood as if his heart had just burst*



Slayer" I don't need someone like you in my ranks, consider our contract revoked as he casually walked passed him , diamond immedately fell ot this knees straight to he ground and slowly the energy that gave him that transformation was returning to slayer now i'll have to fine someone else to take his place, at least Majestia is proving fruitful as his eyes shifted towards lilac looking scared, he just gave her is normal grin as he calmly gave her back her egg Lilac" panting softly as she cried...." Slayer " I'm terribly sorry my dear he was a poor judge of character on my part -w- " Lilac" w-who are you... " Slayer" nothing but a dream ly dear, nothing.. but a dream pointing his cane at her face



a few moments later

the sun was shining in her bed room as she jerked up from her sleep, as if she woke up from a dream, jumping to her feet she she ran to the bedroom and found the eggs sitting in the nest as before*

Lilac" did...did all that really happen? " Blizzard" hey lilac are you alright you jumped up in a complete panic " Lilac" um..y-yeah just.. a nightmare.. I guess"

a short time after lilac went back to the cliff side from last night, there was no body but looking closer, there was blood stains on the ground

Frost" did you hear the news from neera?" Milla" what was it?" Frost" turns out they found spades body out in the woods" Carol" his body? did someone- Frost" there still inspecting but chances are they are going to chalk it up to a suicide" Carol" oh spade... it didn't have to end that way* her ears lowered* Blizzard" maybe he'll finally find peace " Lilac" ( seeing you like this was priceless...) I think some people will never know peace as she turned off Everyone " o o?? " lilac shorted started up a bath for herself as she sat in the tub sinking up ot her neck she sighed heavily* Lilac" anyone who steals eggs, your dead to me simple as... "

else where



Slayer" yes I know keith has been wondering where I am and I've kept him busy" Mayhem" #!@#!@#!" Slayer" I just needed one more piece and I could have held off but no, he decided to be a baby killer" Mayhem" @$@#$@#$$$..?" Slayer" aliens? like what the black arms, shadow? oh please i even I have my limits I might as well recruit melantha and her pet alien sigh I'll figure something out * Mayhem" #@@$%$#$%#$ #$%#$% #" Slayer" pick someone from the zone cop prison? well it is an idea..I guess a little window shopping couldn't hurt anyone "
