Irvine sighed, hearing the nuances in her voice. "Talk only wen you're ready to. We aren't here to question you or your life. Right now we have our own baby girl to worry about..." He said. "Ai, I have a question... What was the name of the baby we watched about a half a year before the quakes?" He asked.
"You're really going back there?" Mai-Fei asked with a sniffle.

"I don't know where else to go, Mai-Fei." Tsune replied as she glanced down at her, flushing slightly and thanking Yulia that they didn't want to delve into her own history. She then turned to Mai-Fei's parents and listened.
Ai chuckled in response to Irvine's question, "It was definitely Tsune."
"What? You... both watched me?" Tsune asked, now bewildered.
"Yes, well your parents were going to scout for a new place to live, and they knew they would be awhile. I offered to take you in, and we had a wet nurse... well nurse you for a bit." Ai smiled as she pulled the bean cakes out of the oven.
I wish I could have remembered... I thought I was at the house all my life... guess not. Sucks that I can't remember the happiest days of my life. She seemed a little bummed as Ai continued, "You were such a cute baby! Of course, I didn't know how to take care of you... and I complained all the time. In fact, Irvine did a large portion of taking care of you." >.>;

"Don't expect me to do much now, though." Irvine joked, sounding a lot like his father with two other freeloading teenagers. "In any case, you are welcome to stay as long as you need. Mai-Fei would love to have someone else in the whole homeschooling thing as well, if you wanted to stick around that long."
"Please don't leave! ; ;" Mai-Fei said.

"I... I..." Tsune nodded, knowing that she didn't want to go home. In reality, she wanted to learn, and not always give herself up as a slave. So, clinging in return, she finished her sentence. "Okay. I want to stay here. I really want to learn, and I can help cook and clean for payment!"
"You don't have to worry about that. We'll set you up chores, but you don't have to go beyond that." Ai pointed out with a chuckle as she set the cakes onto the table. "Alright, food's ready! Hope you all like!"

Of course they did! Because the food was delicious! And of course, I bet it caused Tsune to pass out. That happens to people sometimes. But time passed, plain and simple. With Heimdall's fall, Glenn was forced to do other things, so was Jace, I guess.
Zach also did stuff. He happened to be 17 now, and staring into the distance one morning. "... I really need a girlfriend..." He sighed, stepping down from the roof of his home. "Mom, dad, I'm going out!" He called down.
~~~~~
Mai-Fei was snoozing lightly in the room she shared with Tsune, in fact, she was clinging to the girl. In those last 3 years, she had filled out nicely, though not as much as her aunt or grandmother.

"Zzzzz...Zzzzz..." Tsune happened to be very exhausted, having stayed up all night to study and pick up on education. She managed to both read and write, as well as understand many formulas in arithmetic. She basically caught up to her own level in subjects of science, geography and many others, and she took up art, especially painting, as a talent. Curled up against Mai-Fei, she eventually noticed the sunlight hit her face.
It's been really over three years now... The girl thought as she opened her eyes to see the window. Can't even believe I'm 20 now... She then looked over to her friend. And she's really grown... I wonder if I have grown... She thought as she stretched and yawned. "Uwaaaahhhh..."
~~~~~
"You are?" Freija called out as she looked to her son, wanting to wish him a good day. And breakfast. "Are you sure you don't want breakfast before you leave, Zach??"
~~~~~
Chop. Chop. Chop.
Glenn stood there at his home, chopping madly at a tree to build his strength. Oh, and get firewood, because it was getting towards the chillier months. It wasn't long that he had returned home, since it became a ritual to do his grandparent's bidding for three months. Wiping, his brow, he set the axe against the tree and took a quick breath. He was very well built for his age, definitely taking after the muscular development of his mother and great grandmother. Very youthful, incredibly handsome and strong, as well as intelligent. He seemed like a man many women would want...
Except that he was SHORT.
Standing at a full height of my height, he always received stares. Sure, some people didn't care, but that led to barrier number two. Ela.
Though he didn't mind. She had been at his side for almost all his life, and he wasn't going to ditch her now.
"So Ela, should we pay a visit to Uncle Irvine and Auntie Ai today? I mean, I think I should spend sometime with other members of my family instead of just grandma and grandpa." That was pretty much it. He usually would go to visit the girls and his uncle and aunt at least once a month, but he was so caught up with his grandparents making him a slave that he couldn't visit any of them for three months.
"To be honest, I think we should all go! Leo, Mom and Dad too!" Ela smiled as she patted him on the back. The man glanced at her with a small sigh. I guess looks do run in the family... Glenn blinked as he chuckled.
"What? What are you thinking Glenny!?"
"Oh nothing... just seems like Dad is average looking compared to the rest of us!"
"Oh, now you're just being cruel to your father!"

Of course, things have a way of not working out quite the way people want them to. The sky was suddenly alight with lightning in the distance, coming from the Seal, visible by Glenn, at least, who was outside at the time.
~~~~~
"Erm... Right!" Zach said, running inside and grabbing breakfast, which he ate heartily. "Um, mom, when did you meet dad?" She asked, blinking. "I mean... I've never even been on a date, so..."
~~~~~
Mai-Fei yawned, opening her eyes slightly. "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaa...." She yawned, looking at Tsune. "G'morning." She said softly.

"Uh... good morning!" Tsune replied with a smile as she patted the woman on the head. "Did you sleep well?" She asked completely in Mizuhoan this time, for she had attempted to teach Mai-Fei to speak and understand the language fluently.
~~~~~
"When did I meet your father? Uh..." Freija sat down at the table, blinking for a moment. "Hm... I was actually around your age. We were together for a long time. Married at 23. And we didn't do anything intimate until then either." She chuckled. "I'm sure you will find someone, Zach. Have you really even looked? You are a handsome young man. I'm sure many women would love a chance to meet a nice man as well."
~~~~~
"Huh!? Wonder what's going on there..." Glenn blinked before running inside. "Mom!? Dad!? I'm leaving for awhile!" He cried, knowing they were upstairs doing who knows what, as he took off, unsealing his wings and bolting with Ela following close behind. It had only been about an hour of high speed flying before he reached the seal. Landing onto his feet, he gawked for a moment. "...Wonder what's going on here..."

What was going on there? Who knows?
Oh wait, I do. Volt was clearly on rage mode, shocking at anything that moved. Guess what, there was a clumped figure lying on the ground in the hall, looking like it was about to be zapped by the Spirit.
~~~~~
"Huh?" Zach blinked. "I... Thanks mom!" He said, kissing her on the cheek. "I'll be back, and I'll bring a nice girl home with me, I promise!" He said, running out the door and toward his destiny. Which apparently was in Grand Chokmah, where he was wearing his green sash.
~~~~~
"Uhhhhhhh..." Mai-Fei blinked, then tried to form a coherent response in the language. "What be taco pants." She said.

"AH! Holy crap!" Glenn cried out as he clapped his hands, forming a rubber suit over him using the material from his shoes and several other rubbery trinkets. "Alright, Volty's pissed, and I need to get in and out as fast as I can." He told Ela while eying the figure. Crouching, he sighed. "Wish me luck. Don't know how long the suit's going to last me. Hopefully long enough." He smirked before bolting suddenly for the person. Quickly he scooped up the figure and dashed for the exit. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." He murmured as he sped up.
~~~~~~
"...I've tried to teach you for three years now... you really can't get the hang of it, can't you?" Tsune chuckled, having replied in English. "Well, we should probably get up. Wonder what time it is..." She blinked as she looked to the clock. "Only eight, wow." Swinging her legs over the bed and adjusting her PJ short shorts, she prepared for the day ahead.
~~~~~
"Ah, so bored..." Alma was tapping away at a piano, highly bored. "I do not know what to do today. It is always the same thing, day in and day out. Maybe I should try to go to a place and find new friends. My other friends ditched me anyway." She said softly in French as she stood up and walked out to grab her coat. "Yes, I should be doing that!"

Zach eventually found himself in the market, though, confident as he was, he had no idea how to handle girls, and as a result, he ended up sitting on a bench blowing raspberries at the air. 'I don't know what to do...' He thought, sighing.
~~~~~
"I still wanna sleeeeeep." Mai-Fei groaned. While Tsune had been training and practicing actual art, Mai-Fei had been practicing the lowest form of art in the universe: Web Comics. "You're comfy and warm! I'll be cold if you get up." Whiner.
~~~~~
Of course, the door shut, trapping the two in there, by the way, the heap he picked up, it was a girl, she was his age, she had bandages all over her arm and neck.

"...Oh no, not you..." Glenn groaned, only imaging that if they died, he would be ragged on for an eternity about how HE killed her and it was all his fault. If they lived, she would rag on about how he still let D go and insult him for an eternity anyway. Until she left again. "Okay, okay... Um... um..." Maybe I should just let her die? "I could try to escape, but... Oh dammit all!" He cried before clapping his hands and creating a lightning rod... or seven, right around the girl. He then ran forward to confront Volt. "HEY! What's got a stick up your ass today, huh!?" He shouted as he threat his fingers together to cast a spell. "Splash!" He began, directing his attack on Volt. I am so dead today. At least I won't be called short or possessed anymore! Ahahahahaha...
~~~~~
"...Mai-Fei, it's time to ge-" Tsune lowered her head. She didn't know why, but she ALWAYS gave into Mai-Fei for whatever reason. So she turned around and slipped back into bed. "Alright, ONE more hour, no more. Deal?" She asked as she closed her eyes, not tired at all. It's like your family sleeps all the time...
~~~~~
Not too long after, a figure brushed by him. If he paid closer attention, he would have noticed a white twitching tail that followed her. Gee, maybe this cafe would do the trick. Alma thought as she entered it.

"WHY WILL NOBODY TALK TO ME?!" Zach randomly blurted, not really paying attention, though surely his voice would be recognizable to someone who had heard it before.
~~~~~
"Zzzzzzzz..." Mai-Fei snored lightly, having already fallen asleep. She quietly snored for several seconds before snuggling into the older girl. "Tsune, your breasts are so soft and warm..." She said with a Z.
~~~~~
Of course, Volt kind of floated away, ignoring Glenn, because he wasn't a summoner. It proceeded to fly up really high and shoot lightning at the summoner. Lucky for her, lightning rods.

"OH COME ON!" Glenn cried out as he looked to the girl. "Must be doing a stupid pact... wait. Didn't they all... oh never mind!" Glenn quickly ran over to the girl and began shaking her gently. "Hey! Come on! You're going to die if you don't wake up! Or I'm going to have to make a million of these! HEY!!! Wake up!!"
~~~~~
Tsune flushed deeply as she wrapped her arms around Mai-Fei. "Uh... sometimes I wonder where your situation stands in your sexual preference." She turned her head away. Sometimes I wonder about that with myself, too... So, she waited an hour, holding Mai-Fei against her as she thought of her past, wondering why her mother never went after her. She must have not cared in the slightest, even if I made the most money for the house... The woman thought with a soft yawn. Breakfast...
~~~~~
"Becauze you are being invizible." The young woman told him before entering the cafe and sitting at a table. She then ordered a small hot chocolate, catching the eyes of a few people, mostly men.
"Isn't that the daughter of the head?" She heard whispers, "She's so hot. What I wouldn't do for a date with her!"
Smirking on the inside, she merely sipped at her hot chocolate.

Zach raised a brow, hearing the voice. He stormed into the cafe, standing over her table. "You're a jerk, you know that?" He asked, an angry face on his face. "What's all this invisible crap about anyway?" He continued, wind blowing through the cafe and making the sash thwap the woman in the face.
~~~~~
Like Mai-Fei has sexual preference! Ha! She just thinks sexii is sexii and doesn't care about gender. Just like her alternate universe counterparts. She yawned after about 58 minutes, opening her eyes perkily and sitting up, revealing her spaghetti strap sleep top and matching string bikini bottom. "Ahhhhhhh! That was a good nap!" She said, stretching, before her tummy growled. Ahhhh! Warn the villagers, the farm eating beast is approaching!
~~~~~
The girl opened her eyes vaguely, wincing in pain. 'W-what?' She thought, blinking. 'Huh? You're...' She pointed, only to be electrocuted at. 'Dammit, just... Stay out of the way!' She stood, revealing she hadn't grown more than 4 inches in the past years, at least not in height, though she had grown more beautiful, in a somewhat fierce way. 'Come forth!' She motioned, swinging the staff, causing Gnome to appear.

"...Right, right." The youth grumpily sighed as he leaped out of the way. "You may want to stay in that field of lightning rods!" He called out to her as he decided to watch, ready to step into the fray just in case. And she's the same angry girl from before. Why do I even bother helping her? He thought with a mental sigh.
~~~~~
"...Um... maybe we should get some food." Tsune replied as she stood onto her feet and changed into her clothing, which was a pair of jean shorts and a black skin tight top with sleeves that went to her elbows. Sniffing the air, she managed to sense all types of different foods. "Huh? Something special going on today?" She asked Mai-Fei.
~~~~~
Alma scowled as her ears flicked, rather annoyed. "You are sitting zheir, not at all seeking out anyone. In zhe streets, no one iz bound to notice you." She replied, now just utterly pissed that she was trying to give advice and of course, Zach makes a big deal out of it.

"Well how the heck would I know that?" Zach asked, annoyed. One could practically see the sparks flying between them. "What the hell, why is it that whenever you show up in my life you always find some way to bother me?!" He asked, the sash once again thwapping the woman in the face because of the wind from the wide open door.
~~~~~
"I dunno." Mai-Fei said, sniffing. "But I smell cake! Come on, let's go before the cake gets cold!" She said, putting on... Nothing but slippers. She simply bolted out the door, wearing nothing but her skimpy nightwear and slippers. Suddenly, she screamed, seemingly in terror. "T-T-T-T-TSUNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She cried out from downstairs.
~~~~~
Volt kind of dicked around as rocks were thrown at him, then frying all the lightning rods and trying to fry Gnome to nearly no effect. The Summon Spirit motioned, just... In purple instead of yellow, and somehow with no actual facial expressions. So it tried to electrocute the summoner again, causing her to jump back, wincing and seeming vulnerable for a moment from the stray sparks of the attack.

Glenn immediately clapped his hands, throwing up more lightning rods as he still continued to watch. Come on, you can do it... He breathed as he secretly cheered on the girl. ...As long as it keeps frying the rods, I can always make more. She's going to be a goner otherwise... He thought. I mean, you're a Yuliadamned summoner. This should be nothing for you.
~~~~
"Huh!?" Tsune fled downstairs, only to miss a step and clumsily fall down the stairs. "GAH!" She cried out, rolling down until she hit the floor with a loud thump. "Ow..." She groaned.
~~~~~
Alma then suddenly grabbed the sash, pulling him to her as she glared. Becauze you seem to have the time to bozher me. You could have just ignored me, but no. So get out of here. I don't need my time taken by a punk like you. She growled, then smirked, getting an idea.
That scarf really didn't mean much in the end. Why not piss him off?
Before the man even knew, about two inches from the end was seared off by her own mana.

"Why you-" Zach started, clearly pissed off, but he suddenly went through a change, grabbing her by the wrist. "Do you have any idea what you've just done?" He asked in a serious tone which was completely unlike how he spoke normally. "That scarf is very important, and what you have done... You should be ashamed of yourself." He said, using his mana to reassemble the particles before they floated off in the wind.
~~~~~
"Tsune!" Mai-Fei said. "Look at this! It's a birthday party just for you!" She continued, jumping a little bit. "Mom and dad must've made it for you!" She said, helping her friend up. "Look, they even have a cake with your name on it! And candles! And your favorite foods!"
~~~~~
Volt was suddenly sufficiently annoyed with Glenn's actions, and then did something clever. It changed the polarity of the room, making the walls such magnetic repellants that it pushed away anything with even the slightest bit of iron on or in it, which included, curiously enough, the blood of Glenn and the summoner, to the point that they were floating haphazardly in the air.
'Ah!' The summoner exclaimed, raising her staff to block an electrical attack. 'Not fair!' She thrust forward the staff, summoning Efreet, her only spirit who could fight in the air without being electrocuted out in one shot.

Glenn floated into the air, flailing slightly. "Wh-whoa!" He cried out before unsealing his wings. "Alright, never mind. I can use this." He sighed before forming a sword from the damn air. "A water blade, just may do the trick. Sorry, but I'm butting in now! You can kill me later!" He cried before dashing at Volt, launching a spell at him. "TORRENT!" He cried.
~~~~~
Tsune blinked, shaking her head to rid of the pain. She glanced around, her mouth widened in awe. "No way... Ai and Irvine... they did this?" She gasped as she glanced around. She then widened her eyes. "I love this!"
~~~~~
Alma blinked, aware of this change, but she seemed to be in a much angered mood, not wanting to deal with much of anything at the moment. "Bug off, Zach. I don't care how much it iz vorth anymore. I'm tired of your attitude!" She then lowered her eyes at the cocoa and began to drink it again, having almost finished.
