No one seemed to be home, not even Ryli. Wait, if Ryli wasn't home then....Yoshi connected the dots and called Torii to see where they were. He was excited and afraid at the same time.

"Play your cards right and you will," drawled Dora, as she headed back across to her apartment.

"Okay! Oh, and it's not cheating! We're just friends who happen to like a friendly kiss!", Katya said. "Anyway....later!"

Torii answered the phone. "Alø?"

New Aksarben wrote:"Yeah, that we did." Albert said blushing a bit. "I can do your back and legs, mei Vulpes" He took the dryer back, and mimicked his technique in drying Ray's back and legs. "I wonder if that technique would work for my tail? I also wonder why I haven't figured this out before." He chuckled a bit at that.

"Perhaps it's because you're more of a guy who doesn't really care about his appearance, although you're extremely lucky to have it," Ray warmly whispered as he blushed a little from the fact that he lacked a towel. "Do I do your tail and ears next?"

"U-uh.... s-sure." Albert said, blushing from that. He handed the dryer back to Ray, and sat down to let Ray dry his tail and ears. His tail involuntarily waved back and forth, but Albert did his best to keep if from moving.

"Tora? It's Yoshi. Where are you?" He asked somewhat panicked. He didn't want to miss it.

New Aksarben wrote:"What are camelions?" Jacob asked, scratching head from his confusion.

Since the fireplace was closed, Neil couldn't here the question. From distant parts of the house a lion's roar could be heard. Swift still tried to stuff more marshmallows in his mouth at the encouragement of his siblings. there was a sawed off double barreled shotgun mounted above the fireplace.

Right at this moment, nothing else seemed to matter to the young couple, both were too busy taking in their son, and the significant other who both had a hand in his creation. Bran marveled his wife as well, to him, the most beautiful person on the face of the earth. "Thank you all, for being here with us." Rylli sighed contently as she nestled herself further into the bed.

New Aksarben wrote:"U-uh.... s-sure." Albert said, blushing from that. He handed the dryer back to Ray, and sat down to let Ray dry his tail and ears. His tail involuntarily waved back and forth, but Albert did his best to keep if from moving.

Ray smiled and squinted his eyes, standing up in order to dry off Albert. He bent down right next to Albert and semi-purposefully stuck his tail-quarters next to Albert's face, trying to swish his tail into his boyfriend's face. Ray then grabbed Albert's tail to hold it still, trying his technique on it in order to dry it off.

Giovenith wrote:"Recent elections tie into next year's..." she said wistfully, contemplating something for a moment, before handing Ogoti her dog-tag necklace on cue, explaining her name, her vulnerability to fire and liquid, and return address.

"Pippa-Michelle?" he read off the tag. "Lovely name. Few people take the time to name their creations. Even fewer would love them enough to give them a necklace. You, Miss Pippa-Michelle, are blessed. Who fashioned you?"

"Yeeeeeer..." Pippa-Michelle thought about how to answer this, and came up with something fairly clever for her: Inside was what had once been a magazine dedicated to selling brain-teaser games, one of which was title "Geometric Puzzle." If she concentrated hard enough, she could cut off the only part of the word she needed... "Geo," she said quickly, snapping closed her mouth before "-metric Puzzzle" could escape. It wasn't Gio's name, but it was identical in pronunciation.

Giovenith looked around the lab with bemusement, fairly fascinated with the sheer amount of stuff she did not have a clue what did. It was a bit entertaining to try and imagine, though, and doing it made her smile.

The wind seemed to pick up. The temperature dropped to a bone-chilling degree. Even the color seemed to fade from the area. A dark presence was making itself known in the forest.

Albert blushed from the view, and where Ray's hand was grabbing. "Is it working?" Albert asked, not able to see his tail since Ray was blocking it. His fur was going down correctly, instead of his normal poofiness.

Jacob sighed, and looked around for a place to sit. "Why are you stuffing marshmallows into your mouth?" He asked the raptor children, finding it silly, and quite random. HE noticed the gun, but hoped he wouldn't have to use it.

Nova began to heat her self up using her Star Powers."Something's not right........." Nova stood up and shined like a bright star in the night sky,she looked around scanning for something.

"Paper!" Ogoti smacked his forehead. "Of course. Who else but Miss Giovenith could work this magic? At times I'm very stupid." He shook his head.

"Well, Miss Pippa-Michelle, I'm sure you'd like to see the baby more close up? Why not go over there and visit? Walls are boring things to stand next to."

He excused himself from her company and pawed through a closet. There was a festive paper bag inside. He handed it to Bran. "My molecules would be scattered across the cosmos if I'd forgotten to give this to you for the baby."

A plush airplane was resting in the tissue paper. Two words adorned the gift tag: Love, Swith.

"Oh, have more faith in me! It's going down just fine," Ray smiled and finished drying it, bending back upright and kneeling down to where his face met Albert's. He then began to dry off Albert's ears, occasionally having to pat down the fur because he lacked a good angle.

The darkness grew closer. A single, pale, cold arm reached out....

And playfully poked Nova on the nose.

His ears occasionally flicked, not used to the noise and the airflow from the dryer. His face had a slight grimace, similar to what a cat or dog would do when they were being dried. "That is incredibly loud." He said, unintentionally shouting because of the volume.

Nova turned into her true form and jumped away."who goes their!!? show your self before i turn this place....into what earthlings call a 4th of july!"

"Oh, she didn't need to get us anything." Bran started to protest. Rylli shushed him and accepted the plush toy. She handed it to Bran who in turn admired it, trying to figure out which type of plane it was before setting it gently on the bed next to them. "So what now?" He asked. "I know a few things, but what do we do once we're home?"

"Heh he, sorry 'bout that," Ray blushed and finally finished drying Albert's ears, following it with a kiss on the lips. "Ah, well then. I suppose we actually need clothes now."

Inside Dora and Luce and Chrys' apartment, there was a mess.

Well, actually, there were two messes.

One of them was named Chrys. This was because she'd sprawled on the floor (as the couch was taken by Denise) and begun stuffing her face with kettle chips, pizza, and cold beer. The floor was littered with crumbs and microscopic chip fragments.

Dora sighed and passed her hand across the floor, giving Chrys another look. The blonde nodded, as her mouth was still full.

Dora disappeared inside the bedroom and began putting the room back together. The blanket was straightened out, the lamp set back upright and an intact lightbulb put into it. The glass went into the recycle bin for Luce or Chrys to repair. The three towels she and Ozzall had been using went into the hamper.

After that, she pulled out a fresh set of clothing and hopped in the bathtub. A nice, hot soak later, she stepped out, letting her hair air-dry. The sitting room had been cleaned, as Chrys had promised, and Luce was also back. Each of them were already in a bed. Chrys was playing MK9 and Luce appeared to be reading something on a Kindle.

"See you guys later," Dora called. "I'll be back in a bit."

Pippa-Michelle nodded at the god's suggestion, and very slowly and carefully made her way over to the bedside, as if she would be harshly shushed away at any moment. The new fleshy was very tiny and fragile-seeming, yet somehow, this made it especially endearing. It made one want to protect it. The golem smiled a nice smile, happy with the sight of the baby fleshy, and the happiness it brought to all the others.

"Aaahhh, you're no fun, Star.", a young female voice said. After some time away, the Banshee emerged from the darkness. She cradled a shadow baby in her arms.

The pair worked together, often knowing what the other was thinking. They pumped various fluids into the corpse and made adjustments. wires and equipment were wired into her body. "Reversing the damage with tachyon dose..." Neil said. "...and reanimating with a full Lazarus charge." Gretta finished. Their hands met on "The Lever" as they prepared to pull it together.

"Cubby Bunny!" Jenny and Robert cheered in unison as the only explanation. Swift couldn't quite say it with all the marshmallows in his mouth.

You suffer the dreadful fate of any normal parent: you'll spend the next year hardly sleeping, constantly changing diapers, putting up with messes and smells that you never thought could come out of another human being, you'll spend every dime on diapers and wipes, and then the child edges into its second year of life and you'll start to turn grey. Did I mention your sex life will dwindle for a long while because you're both too tired for any bedroom activity that lasts more than two minutes? Oh and just wait until you try potty training! Having a baby is like being grounded for five whole years.

Ogoti kept these wise words to himself. "You'll go home and slowly get to know each other. Rylli will need your help because she'll be very tired, Bran. The baby will need a quiet place to sleep. He'll fuss sometimes but comfort him, change him and feed him and he'll be just fine. I'll check up with you both in a few days to see how you're all doing. We can move you all back to the bomb shelter whenever you're ready to go. I just need to know the child's name for his birth certificate."
