"..." Glenn gulped, but continue eating anyway. Oh well. It was still cake, no matter how badly it was ruined. Though he had to admit, he needed water, BADLY. "So... do you like homeschooling?" He asked as he continued to munch.

"Yeah, did you hear? He's going to take me to school next week!" Ela cried out with a smile. "He's starting and he's going to meet lots of new kids!"

"Mmm! I'm gonna make a ton of friends!" Glenn grinned.

Taini, half hearing the children's conversation, answered Irvine with a fallen face. "Yeah... we are going to have to do some struggling. It does hurt, yes, but I'm getting over it. I'm just glad she is here for Glenny. I should be happy, right? No matter what, she is still my daughter. But I'm sure Mai-Fei will. Hell, she'll probably have enough time to be a great-grandmother!" She chuckled.

"I am sure that you are right." Irvine said, smiling again. "I suppose I should be happy for the both of them. I mean, Mai-Fei already has quite a few YMCA friends now... And I'm sure Glenn will do just fine."

"I learn lots of neat stuffs! I can... I can add!" Mai-Fei said with a smile. Because two and three makes five!" She laughed, but five minus one is four!" She continued laughing. "Mommy and daddy taught me a lot! And I can read!"

"Really? You'll have to read to me sometime!" Glenn grinned, curious about how she read. "Oh! Guess what? My alchemy is awesome now!" He chirped. "I can make so much! And it's so cool! And Daddy taught me lots of cool magic! Mana is so interesting..." He smiled as he kicked the ground a little. Ela looked to the both of them, teetering on her feet. "Can you teach me math sometime Mai-Fei and Glenny?"

"Yeah! I'd like to!"

Taini smiled widely, revealing her fangs. "Yeah, they will! They'll live full and happy lives. Besides, I don't think anyone is going to make fun of the boy's height."

"Okay!" Mai-Fei said happily. "Oh, Glenny, can you show me your alkammy?" She asked, clapping.

"Hm... I am sure you are right." Irvine said, nodding. "He should do just fine." He pointed out. "So, he starts next week, hm?" He asked. "Have you been teaching him anything prior to that?"

"Well yes... just the basics... but I guess... I didn't really have to teach him. He's been basically teaching himself, just by learning alchemy. Apparently it teaches math, science, mana control, magic... reading too. It's impressive to see how far he has gotten." She pointed out, seemingly proud of her son.

"Yeah!" Glenn then began to draw a circle on a piece of paper. "Okay! I'm gonna make... hmm... a stuffed puppy." This time he didn't gather any materials, but glanced around for a moment, taking in some of the elements. "Hmph!" He then clapped his hands and placed them onto the ground, forming just that. A tiny little stuffed puppy for Mai-Fei.

Mai-Fei gasped. "Can you make mac and cheez?" She asked, taking the puppy and putting it on her head.

Irvine laughed. "I wonder which of them has learned more?" He said. "But it doesn't really matter. They're both smart and strong, and I am glad for that." He said. "So, what's on the agenda for today? Ai will be arriving soon, but what about Derrick?"

"I don't know... he just left. Don't know where he's going." The woman replied with a shrug. "Must be for Glenny. So what's kept Ai busy huh? Getting a present for my baby?" She chuckled as she looked to the both of them. "Heh, Alchemist and Future Necromancer..."

Glenn mused for a moment before nodding. "Kay! I'll do that!" He then, this time without placing the ingredients in a circle, clapped his hands after he made another circle, then placed them onto the ground.

Mai-Fei watched for a moment, then realized. 'You didn't put in salt!' She then, just as the act was being performed, threw a whole carton of salt into the circle to help him, then turned around. "What is it, Auntie Taini?" She asked, blinking as the flash happened.

Irvine sighed. "Well, I'm sure she'll get here soon." He said, then noticed the transmutation and sighed.

"...ACK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Glenn cried out as the transmutation happened. Only to reveal a cube... of salt. That was yellow. "It's... a cheesy salt cube..." Glenn sweat dropped, groaning. "Why Mai-Fei, why?" He breathed as he hung his head low.

Taini merely sighed at the spectacle, though she was laughing inwardly. "Aw... cute." Just then she heard a knock on the door. Quickly she walked over to it and opened the door. "Ai! Hi!" She greeted as Ai bowed her head a little. "Hello! Finally got what I needed!"

"About time." Irvine said with a chuckle. "But did you enjoy yourself?" He asked.

"Cuz you needed salts to make it good!" Mai-Fai said, puffing out her chest because she thought she helped.

A sound was heard from outside, then Derrick entered. "Hey," he said. "Just finished on the thing in the shed for you know who." He told Taini. "Hello, Irvine, Ai."

"Yes, I did... well until I was mauled by some random fanboys, claiming that I looked like the 33rd Coliseum Champion." She laughed, knowing that she was indeed the 33rd coliseum champion. "Oh, and hey Derrick."

Glenn just gawked at the salt cube. "That's not Mac N' Cheese, Mai-Fei..." He whimpered. ":( You didn't help at all..."

Taini smiled, seeing her husband walk in. Tail flicking eagerly, Taini walked up to the man and pecked him on the lips. "Great! I can't wait to see what he'll think."

"Me neither." Derrick laughed. "But I'm sure he'll like it." He said, picking up the mac and cheese cube. "Um... Have we always had salt licks?" He asked.

"But you didn't add any salt! You needed to add salt to make it taste good!" Mai-Fei pointed out, missing the point of the fact that she added TOO MUCH of the stuff.

Irvine chuckled. "Kids will be kids, huh?" He asked.

"No! I already had salt! You put too much in!" The boy squealed, now upset with her. Taini merely laughed at Derrick, seeing the salt lick. "No, we haven't. It's the product of Mai-Fei's and Glenny's work. Glenny, you should be proud of that! You worked together on that!"

"It's not what I wanted!" The boy cried out, wanting to cry.

Ai nodded in agreement, finding the spectacle cute. The day passed with family time, with Serenade, Elena, John, and maybe Shara coming over. They played small games and before long, the cake and ice cream was served and the boy began to unwrap his gifts.

"So, kiddo, happy birthday, kiddo dood!" John said being a proud member of the redundant council of redundant redundancies. "So are you fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive now?" He asked, not knowing what having a five year old was like, therefore not knowing how to behave around one.

"When can I be five?" Mai-Fei asked. "I wanna be five so I can have a party with lemon wedges!" She giggled.

"Lemon wedges?" Derrick asked, a little confused.

"It's a long story..." Irvine said.

Would you like to know the story?
-Yes
>No

"Yeah, I am curious about it..." Taini then folded her arms over her lap.

"Oh for the love of Yulia, why did you have to mention this..." Ai groaned as she rubbed her forehead.

"Because we enjoy silly stories."

"Woo! Silly stories are awesome! I can tell you some of mine too!" Serenade piped up.

"NO!" Nearly everyone shouted.

"I wanna open presents... ;-;" Glenn whimpered.

>Yes
-No

So, they began opening presents. The first present was a book on astrophysics from John. "It's the first book I never read! I hope some day you'll never read it too!" He said, raising a hand to give the boy a high five.

"... Astrophysics?" Irvine asked, stunned.

"A joke... Right?" Derrick asked.

"Open my gift now?" Mai-Fei piped up.

~~~~~

"Lemon wedge? Fatty wants a lemon wedge? Here's your precious lemon wedge!" Mai-Fei heard on the tv the night before. She then proceeded to babble about lemon wedges until today.

IRVINE LIED.

Glenn blinked, holding the book in his arms. "Th-thanks!" He squeaked, not knowing what to do with the book. He figured he would try to read it anyway. It may help him with his alchemy, after all. He then gave John a high five anyway. Serenade then gave him a gift, which revealed to be a small jacket. You know, something useful. With a hug, the boy slipped it on, despite it being warm out, and then looked at another gift, opening it to reveal a small necklace. "Wow... this is from you Mommy?"

"Yup, it's going to come in handy for you." Taini smiled as the boy grinned. "What does it do?"

"Well, it basically amplifies your mana three fold." She told him as the boy widened his mouth, slipping on the necklace. "COOOOOL!"

"How am I supposed to top that...?" Ai sweat dropped.

"Well, there's this book." Irvine said, holding up a thick tome which they had agreed to pick up the week before and handing it over, still wrapped in a thick parchment. "It's a but heavy, but you should be able to use it no problem." He said, waiting for the boy to open the book, which was entitled 'Alchemy Noctis Tenebris, et Lux Diei'.

"Why won't you open my gift?" Mai-Fei asked with a giant sniffle, sad that he wouldn't open up the ring she had grabbed for him.

"I kinda wanted to save it for last, Mai-Fei. Because I bet it'll be awesome!" He grinned as he took the book with slight difficult. He then unwrapped the parchment with a wide grin as he read it. "NO WAY!!!" He squealed, overly enjoyed over all his gifts thus far. Quickly he ran over to them and hugged them. "Thanks Uncle Irvine, Auntie Ai!" He grinned sheepishly before scampering back to Mai-Fei's gift. He then opened it, seeing the ring with a grin. "Whoa! This is awesome! Does it do anything Mai-Fei?" He asked his cousin as Taini smiled at the two.

"Uhhhhh... It's shiny!" Mai-Fei said, being helpful as always, since it never did anything but be shiny. It was just a shiny ring that was shiny. "It's really, really shiny!" She laughed.

"It's our pleasure." Irvine said. "The book was a little hard to find, but you may find quite a bit of use from it." He told the young boy.

Derrick frowned. "So... Your mother and I have one more gift for you." He told the boy.
