Omega19x: *Malik and Ryou are back home, then, scowering the area around the house for little silver metal balls?*
ph33r my rod: *works for me*
Omega19x: "... find anything?"
ph33r my rod: *fishing around in the grass* "Not yet. I thought I saw something shiny over here, though it coulda been just a coin or something..." *keeps looking*
Omega19x: "... I don't see anything over here except a couple of worms and a grasshopper."
ph33r my rod: "Hm..." *keeps searching; after a few minutes, he finds something* "Oooh! Ooh ooh! Here." *straightens up, holding the usual silver ball*
Omega19x: "Yes!:
Omega19x: *rushes back over to Malik*
Omega19x: "Can we make it play pictures?"
ph33r my rod: "Um..." *shakes it a little*
Omega19x: *watches*
Omega19x: "... it's not working..."
ph33r my rod: "Uh." *shakes it more* "Please work?"
Omega19x: *pokes it*
Omega19x: *blink*
Omega19x: "... I hope this one isn't broken..."
ph33r my rod: *looks it over to make sure it's not just a plain marble or anything*
Omega19x: *shakes it a little*
Omega19x: "... please open?"
Omega19x: *finally, something happens, and a little slideshow comes up on the side of the house*
Omega19x: "... it worked!"
ph33r my rod: "Ooh!" *looks*
Omega19x: *the aliens are getting quite big now, and they're up and running around, walking, and there are even a few shots of them hugging each other and their 'family'
Omega19x: Next, however, there are pictures of what looks like panic, and attacks.
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: "oh no... they... they must have been attacked by the Klingoffs..."
Omega19x: *keeps watching, there are some pictures of a giant space battle, and an eventual retreat*
Omega19x: *but thankfully, there are also pictures of the children getting out of harms way, as if to prove to Ryou and Malik that they're safe*
ph33r my rod: "...oh, good. They're safe."
Omega19x: "... thank goodness..."
Omega19x: "... I... I was worried..."
ph33r my rod: *nod* "I was too, especially when I saw those other pictures..."
Omega19x: "... but they got away okay."
Omega19x: "at least, that's what it looks like."
Omega19x: *more closeup photos of the little babies*\
Omega19x: *well, more like toddlers*
ph33r my rod: *still little and cute*
Omega19x: *oh, *gasp* it looks like Jihan got hurt in the fighting... He... he has a scar on his face..."
ph33r my rod: "Aww... poor little guy."
Omega19x: "... he always was the curious one..."
Omega19x: "I hope he wasn't hurt really bad... or... or gets too scared now..."
ph33r my rod: "Was he one of the bigger ones?"
Omega19x: *sees a picture of Zahi and Hoshi being cuddly, and hugging their sibling* "... the second biggest. Vega was the biggest..."
ph33r my rod: "Oh yeah... maybe he was protecting the smaller ones?"
Omega19x: (comp. dying hold on)
ph33r my rod: (( Eep, kay. ))
Omega19x: (maybe fixed)
Omega19x: (think I'm still alive here)
ph33r my rod: (( *pokes comp* ))
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: (( back ))
Omega19x: (wb)
ph33r my rod: (( Comp alive? ))
Omega19x: (yes)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. Just making sure. XD ))
Omega19x: (for now)
Omega19x: "... well... that was the little slide show... I... I bet that's why they didn't come last month... Because it was hard to get out here..."
ph33r my rod: *nod* "What with the Klingoffs and all."
Omega19x: *nodnod*
Omega19x: "...at least... they're safe for now..."
ph33r my rod: "Mmhmm. And it looks like they're growing up well, so..."
Omega19x: "... they're getting enoug heat. That's good."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah." *grins* "They seem to be doing juuust fine."
Omega19x: "I'm glad..." *hugs Malik*
Omega19x: "... wow... it's been quite a couple of days... Amane's a mother... I'm an uncle... and... and my little ones turned three moons old."
ph33r my rod: *hugs back* "Yep... the family's expanding~"
Omega19x: "... and after it was so small..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "That makes you happy, doesn't it? For a long time you were really the only one..."
Omega19x: "It... it does..." *leans into Malik*
ph33r my rod: *gently pets his hair* "I'm glad. I like it when you're happy."
Omega19x: "I'm glad I have such a big family now..."
Omega19x: "... I have my yami... my other self... all the other Bakurae... my sisters... a little cat-neice, four alien children... and a whole pack of Ishtars..."
Omega19x: "But you're the best one."
ph33r my rod: *smiles*
Omega19x: *pecks him gently on the cheek*
ph33r my rod: *gives him a biiiig hug* "You kinda gave me more family too, in a way."
Omega19x: "I guess so."
Omega19x: *holds onto him*
ph33r my rod: *suddenly scoops Ryou up into his arms*
Omega19x: *eep*
Omega19x: *surprise*
ph33r my rod: *heads back into the house and sits on the couch, holding Ryou in his lap* "...and you don't know how much that means to me." *rests head on his shoulder*
Omega19x: *blushes*
Omega19x: *and leans into Malik's body*
Omega19x: "... I'm glad."
ph33r my rod: *hugs him tightly* "...I love you."
Omega19x: *smiles* "me too, you..."
ph33r my rod: *sits there snuggling with Ryou until he eventually falls asleep, still a little jet-lagged and whatnot*
Omega19x: *notices that his soft pillow is asleep*
ph33r my rod: *zzz*
Omega19x: *shrugs, and cuddles even closer, nuzzling against his chest, listening to his heart beat*
