Denise's Reality. Denise's Island. Girl's Day Out Part 2

[dens_extra_pups]

Continued from here



Denise: *reassuring snuggle, and then starts singing a soft song about the stars*

Destiny: *quietly joining in, knows all the words and the tune by heart* *has the full memory of the day Sora came up with the song*

Denise: *slight smile as her slightly older and rougher voice harmonizes sweetly with its younger counterpart* ...Windows to dreams, beacons of freedom. Light my way, where'ere I go...

Serenity: *going to hold onto your arm until she falls asleep, Denise. Even when she's mostly asleep, she's still got a bit of a shakiness to her*

Destiny: *eventually falls quiet as she too falls asleep*

Denise: *voice growing softer as she reaches the end of the song* ...Glimmers of hope, glistening with promise. Lights that my Creator leaves on till I get home. Till I get home...


A few hours later


Serenity: *very quiet sound as she begins to wake up*

Denise: *soft and soothing grumble and a pat pat*

Serenity: *very groggy as she concentrates on getting more aware of her surroundings* Mhuh?

Denise: *frowns with her eyes shut* I hear your freak abusing my fat*aft*.

Sonny: *was told that Serenity had gone to Denise's house, so he went and bugged Orville till the bigger man brought him here*

Orville: *got Sonny into a headlock and muffled his mouth the moment he realized that the girls were sleeping. Now he's dragging the younger man over to check on them*

Sonny: *kicking his feet in protest*

Serenity: *both brows up as she works on waking up enough to open her eyes*

Sonny: *gets a meep out*

Denise: *snort of amusement as she sits up gently and then rubs Serenity's back*

Serenity: *melty Serenity*

Denise: *happy grin that makes Sonny's eyes bug out with shock*

Destiny: *groggy clicks*

Orville: *clicks softly to Destiny* *quietly* Hey, you guys ready to wake up?

Denise: *snorts at him*

Destiny: *moving to sit up and rub at her eyes, more groggy clicks*

Orville: *lets go of Sonny and walks over to offer baby sister-in-law a hug*

Sonny: *soft, muffled sound as he hits his face on the sand. Then, quiet and comical spitting*

Destiny: *hugs, yes. Likes hugs* *snuggle, click*

Serenity: *quiet little sigh. Does have a slight fever from her earlier worry and distress, but she's not as hot as she would normally be after such an incident*

Denise: *softly to Serenity* I think your freak is trying to eat my beach. *and then a grin as she catches Orville's "hugging a little kid" sound*

Serenity: *still not all the way awake* Kitty... 'E's my Kitty.

Sonny: *pauses in mid-spit to scramble over to her side of the pod on all four* Yes, Doma?

Denise: *listens to this, still gently rubbing her friend's back*

Serenity: *sounding like she's about to fall asleep again* 'E's a good Kitty.

Sonny: *gently slips a paper into her hand*

Denise: *making faces in the direction of Sonny's voice* *also listening to Orville telling Destiny a story about the orphaned rock cod*

Serenity: *bleary puzzlement, Will try and open her eyes so she can read the paper*

note: *in strong, precise handwriting says that the writer would be glad to officialize Sebastiano and Serenity's contract this afternoon, if they like. Is signed, "Ultra Magnus"*

Serenity: *groggily* Who'sis?

Sonny: *simply* He's the magistrate for central Iacon, Doma.

Serenity: *waking up enough to boggle and begin fussing that she hasn't even finished preparing her part of the contract, because she wanted to get some clarifications on the terms*

Sonny: *down on his face and apologizing* *and then grunts, because someone just sat on him*

Destiny: *scoldies!*

Denise: So wouldn't this Magnus glitch be able to help with the terms? *more back rub*

Orville: *trying to get Destiny off Sonny, but he's laughing so hard that he's having a hard time getting hold of her* *laughter is a soft, low rumble*

Destiny: *more scoldies!*

Serenity: *starting to hyperventilate a bit*

Denise: Okay. We can use my time machine.

Orville: *Destiny in arms and being cuddled* That's a good idea, Desi.

Destiny: *Fussing! Aunty is scared!*

Serenity: T-Time machine? *confused and jittery now*

Denise: Yeah. *holds up her wrist* This thing can jump in time as well as space. I used to use it to take a week off after a rough day.

Serenity: ... Bhuh? *brain broken expression is a go*

Denise: I'd stay in this nexus between realities for a week, and then go back to work the morning after I'd left. It's why I stopped trying to kill KittyKat's brother.

Sonny: :/

Serenity: *quietly* Okay...

Denise: So you have all the time in the world. *slugs Orville as he leans close*

Orville: *rumbly chuckle, and then looks at the Destiny he's holding*

Destiny: *scoldies*

Orville: *offers to put her down*

Destiny: *huff, cling* *more scoldies and fussing*

Orville: Awww. *more rumbly chuckle and some cuddles*

Serenity: *distracted by the cuddling*

Orville: *benign and unscary beard attack on the Desti!*

Destiny: *Squeal! Clickstorms as she laughs*

Serenity: *trying to sit up now*

Denise: *feels this and hurries to fix the pillows*

Sonny: *watches wistfully, but wasn't told to move*

Serenity: *despite her nap, she's still a bit jittery and trembly*

Denise: *gets her friend all straightened out and tucked in, then smiles at her before snerking at the happy Destiny clamour*

Serenity: *deep breath* I-Is it okay if Kitty sits with me, Denise?

Denise: *hand automatically over goes over to feel for space on Serenity's other side*

Serenity: H-Here, Kitty...

Sonny: *instantly on his feet and busily dusting himself off. Looks funny as he checks his butt*

Denise: *hears all that patting* The mattress's seen sand before.

Sonny: *comes and sits. And offers Rinny her computer, which is waving at her*

Serenity: *reaches for the computer, and once it's on her lap, she's also reaching to hold onto Sonny's arm*

Sonny: *peeks gently to see what she'd like him to do*

Serenity: *holding on to you for comfort, Sonny. She's looking a bit pale from her earlier panic over the contract meeting*

Sonny: *hesitantly offers a hug*

Serenity: *snuggles close as well as she's able*

Sonny: *shifts, moves, and becomes a better backrest*

Denise: *feels this and grins*

Orville: *didn't notice. He's softly growly barking at Destiny*

Destiny: *excited squeals!*

Serenity: *trembling lessens to what's become a normal level for her*

Sonny: *relaxes as he realizes that Denise's grin does not mean that he's about to lose body parts*

Orville: *so much growly bark*

Destiny: *gleeflail!*

Orville: *startled grunt, and then more of that rumbly laughter*

Denise: *calmly* You better put ice on that.

Destiny: *FUSS*

Orville: *whisper to Destiny* Should we get more cookies too?

Destiny: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Orville: *wide grin as he hauls her over to sit her down at the picnic table*

Destiny: *much clickstorm and squealing*

Serenity: *hanging onto Sonny. Startled at the loud squeal*

Sonny: *gently pats her arm*

Denise: *feels that* No, glitch. Do this. *slips her hand between Serenity and Sonny and rubs the back*

Serenity: *sags a bit*

Sonny: *worriedly* Doma?

Serenity: *quietly* That feels good.

Sonny: *lifts his hand, but waits to be told before he'll rub her back*

Denise: *looks for the hand, then impatiently grabs it and puts it on Serenity's back*

Sonny: *quietly* No. She didn't tell me to, and I promised...

Serenity: 'S okay, Kitty.

Sonny: *relaxes again* Yes, Doma. *gently rubs the back*

Denise: *hears the quizzical chirp of a computer and perks slightly* You got your notes?

Serenity: Mmhmm... *blissing out now*

Orville: *calls over* Tang (fermented protein bacteria paste) soup?

Serenity: *absent sound of agreement*

Destiny: *issa clickmonster!*

Orville: *calls again* Any lumps?

Denise: Long weed noodles in mine. *sitting comfortingly*

Serenity: *murmurs something about rations*

Denise: *cocks her head* What's that, Rinny?

Destiny: Said s'posed t' get solid rations for dinner.

Denise: Little pitchers. *snerk*

Orville: Noodles? Dumplings?

Serenity: *trying to focus past bliss*

Denise: This is actually lunch, though.

Serenity: *manages to focus* Think I c'n eat some lunch... Dumplings sound good.

Denise: *low voice* Watch it, he sometimes sticks clack eggs in 'em.

Serenity: ... Can he make them so the eggs don't end up hard, but get heated through?

Denise: *surprised expression, but turns toward the kitchen* She wants runny clack eggs in 'em.

Orville: Okay! Just the yolk runny?

Serenity: *nods*

Sonny: *softly* Doma says yes.

Denise: *turns and calls this information to her husband*

Orville: Okay! What do ya want in yours, Streaker?

Sonny: *scowl* I already ate.

Denise: He already ate.

Destiny: *just lost her mind with glee*

Orville: Okay. How about you, clicker? *grins at the cookie monster sitting at the table and flipping out*

Destiny: *rambleclickpopsquee!*

Orville: The works? *big grin for the excited child*

Destiny: *excited sounds*

Orville: *shows her the noodles, meal paste dumplings, soft-skinned clack eggs, and meat balls* I can put in a crab too. Know what those are?

Destiny: *FLAILYGLEESPAZ*

Serenity: ... What's a crab?

Denise: You see anything running around on the beach?

Serenity: Yes...

Denise: Crabs.

Serenity: *boggling now*

Sonny: *quiet certainty* Doma likes crab.

Serenity: *quietly* I've never been able to afford armored scrabblers...

Sonny: *hesitant offer* Someday I'll buy you chiton.

Denise: You can get those at a place I know. They cost a quarter of what they cost on Cybertron.

Orville: *calls over* Crab yes?

Serenity: *so surprised, will nod in response to both Sonny and Ordnance*

Sonny: Doma says yes.

Denise: *calls over* Rinny and I both want 'em.

Orville: *goes to shake the nearest tree* Grab 'em when they fall, Clicker!

Destiny: *scoots to help!*

Orville: *shake!*

crabs: *fall!*

Destiny: *scrambling around and catching crabs!*

Orville: How many do you have?

Destiny: *scoots to show her haul, clickerfitting all the while*

Orville: Niiiice. Put that, that, that, that, and that in the bowl, and those back on the tree.

Destiny: *clickstorms and scoots to follow instructions!*


Later, after lunch


Denise: *listening to the splashes as she chucks a couple of clack eggs into the water. Went through her lunch with her usual whirlwind style*

rock cod: *happy to have his lunch*

Orville: *passed out on the beach, his belly moving as he snores very softly*

Destiny: *snuggled against Orville, clickstorming softly*

Serenity: *adding the finishing touches to the contract and trying not to nod off again*

Sonny: *breathing evenly as he gazes over Serenity's head at the azure ocean in front of them and feels jealous that this all belongs to that *beep* Denise*

Serenity: *saves the contract, leans back a bit more against Sonny. She's feeling a bit worn out currently*

Sonny: *gentle, supporting arm around her. Softly, forgetting that he wasn't given permission to talk* Do you like this?

Serenity: *quietly* I was able to sleep earlier... *and she means actual sleep, not her short naps that don't do much to give her restful sleep*

Sonny: *sucks in his breath* Good sleep, Doma?

Serenity: *small nod*

Sonny: *quiet resolve* There's room here for more tenants.

Serenity: *quietly, feeling a bit sad* The whole island belongs to Denise.

Sonny: So does the castle, and she rents parts of it.

Serenity: *small nod*

Sonny: *remembers himself then, and apologizes softly before falling silent*

Destiny: *quiet clicks, is conversing with her twin and Raj-Bubby*

Denise: *glances toward the clicks* Is it time to go home, Desti?

Destiny: *headshake* Aunty likes island...

Denise: *quiet chuckle* We brought her here because it was nice. It's supposed to be a little holiday, remember?

Destiny: *nod* Wants to stay, 'n Aunty's guy wants her here, too.

Denise: *bit of mischief* Go tell 'em to buy their own island.

Destiny: *puzzled chirp starts but cuts off as she gets a look of understanding. Then she's cutting a grin and scooting to visit with Aunty and Aunty's Guy*

Denise: *gets out her phone and puts it to her ear* Hey, Sora, girl time's over. You wanna come now?

Destiny: *clickerfit* Sissy says buy own island.

Sora: //Has Destiny been behaving for you, Denise?//

Sonny: *starts to talk, but then catches himself and remains silent*

Serenity: *confused* But where would we do that?

Destiny: *grin* Real estate fairy!

Sonny: *opens mouth. Shuts mouth with a click*

Serenity: *quietly* Kitty, I don't understand.

Sonny: *softly* You want Kitty to talk?

Serenity: *nod*

Sonny: *looks at Destiny* What?

Destiny: Aoife is real estate fairy. *nodnod* Knows lots'a places for peeps.

Sonny: *frowns for a moment, but then, cautiously* Is that where Denise got this place?

Destiny: *nodnod* Mmmmyup.

Sonny: *frown fades away* Is her office in Iacon?

Destiny: *headshake* Nope. No office. Aoife lives in Backwater.

Denise: *has assured Sora that Destiny is being good and extended the invitation again. Is now filling Orville's pants with sand*

Sonny: A backwater? *frowning again, this time with confusion*

Sora: //Give me a moment... Do you like beef jerky?//

Denise: I like beef. *another handful of sand*

Sora: //Alright. Javan, calm down, I'll bring her some of the jerky you made.// *to Denise* //Incoming.//

Destiny: Is a Nexus. *nodnodnod*

Denise: Hear ya then. *more sand*

Sonny: *understanding* Oh. *frown again* How do you get to that one?

Sora: *arriving in a swish and flash, with Raj at her side and a zip closure bag filled with beef jerky*

Destiny: Needa PINPoint. *nodnodnod*

Sonny: ...What?

Destiny: Flashy swish travel! *grin*

Sora: *to Sonny* Or we could call Aoife and make arrangements.

Sonny: *eyes a bit wide at suddenly ANOTHER Denise* ...Does that work between nexuses?

Raj: We've got a way to call Aoife that works between realities and in nexii.

Sonny: Huh. Okay. *looks toward a meep from Denise*

Denise: *just got that last handful of sand grabbed*

Sora: *startles and looks toward the meep*

Destiny: *clickerfit, scoots to Sora-Sissy and Raj-Bubby to get the multi-reality phone*

Sonny: *trying so hard not to laugh out loud, but the look of surprise on Denise's face was so funny*

Orville: *is now a fat guy dancing on the beach to clear the sand out of his pants*

Destiny: *clickstorm! Back to Aunty and Aunty's Guy, will offer phone after picking Aoife's name out on the contacts list*

Sonny: *uncertain frown for the device* Will it respond to my voice?

Denise: You better not have just dropped your pants, fat*aft*.

Orville: It's a super lunar eclipse. *dancing with the butt of his shorts showing now to clear away the last of the sand*

Destiny: *chirps and shows Sonny how to dial Aoife by touching the number listed on the screen*

Sonny: Whoa, weird. *listens to the sound the device is making*

Destiny: *triggers the speaker option*

Sora: *laughing at Orville trying to get sand out of his pants*

Raj: *shaking his head and trying not to watch Orville*

Orville: *laughing too* It's a super-harvest-blood-moon eclipse.

Denise: You're a super-harvest-blood-moon-error code.

Sora: *DONE* *is rolling in the sand now as she laughs*

Denise: *very pleased grin as she listens to that laughter*

Orville: *boogie!*

Raj: *one with his facepalm*

Denise: *tosses sand toward that smack* Knock it off. This is good for her. *still grinning*

Raj: That doesn't mean I have to look, too!

Denise: *laughs at him* There's a broiled crab on the table.

Raj: Alright. *will go investigate that, then*

Sora: *trying not to fall out of alt mode as she's laying in the sand*

Denise: *loud whisper* Destiny, Sora hasn't had any cookies.

Destiny: *gives Sonny the phone, and then scoots to get cookies for Sora-Sissy! MUCH CLICKSTORM*

Raj: *helping himself to the lunch leftovers, gives Destiny the cookie bowl*

Destiny: *gonna scoot over to Sora-Sissy... and sit on her to feed her cookies*

Sora: *startled squeal gets cut off as a cookie gets stuffed in her mouth*

Serenity: *startles at the squeal. Was halfway to being asleep again*

Denise: Heyyy. Easy, you two. Rinny's still here.

Destiny: *looks up and clicks*

Sora: *wheeze*

Denise: *and then she gets an idea and pats Orville, who looks down and then leans to listen to what she says*

Orville: *goes over to Denise's pod* *to Sonny* Here, lemme borrow Rinny for a click? *pants are back in place*

Sonny: *scowls, but has the phone in one hand and isn't sure what his Doma says about this*

Serenity: *quietly* Orville won't hurt me, Kitty.

Orville: Nope. I'm a primie fox. *grin*

Sonny: *gives him a "You have two heads" look, but helps him take Serenity safely* Yes, Doma.

Serenity: *trying not to nod off again, wants to see what's going to happen*

Orville: *carries her over, and gently lays her so that she can use Sora's tummy for a pillow. Then wanders off and starts his funny Deepdweller mouth noise singing*

Destiny: *clickerfit. Will feed Aunty and Sissy*

Sora: *was just about comment when she got another cookie stuffed in her mouth*

Denise: *to Destiny* Hey, he's having fun without you. *points in the direction of Orville singing*

Destiny: *clickerfit! Scoots to pounce Orville*

Sora: *gentle clicks, will gently smooth Serenity's hair*

Serenity: *surprised by the gesture, and soothed by it as well*

Denise: *settles down close to her sister and her friend, the cookie bowl in her hands* I'm new to the whole stupid idea, so somebody tell me if I'm wrong. But this is girl time, right?

Sora: *soft chuckle* Girl time is when you're spending time with the women in your life who are important to you.

Serenity: *sleepy sound of agreement*

Denise: The kid's over there, but you two are here.

Sora: She can hear us. Even if she doesn't use the twin-bond. *small smile* Plus, she'll join us when she's tired.

Denise: *listens* She's beating the sand out of him, isn't she?

Sora: *silent for a few moments* No, she's swatting him because he's funny when he says 'ow'.

Serenity: *very soft snerk*

Denise: *snigger* Yeah. He is.

Orville: *growly barks at Destiny*

Destiny: *THRRPT THRRPT THRRPT!* *lots of giggles*

Orville: *growly barks again, and then runs away!*

Destiny: *GLEEEE! MUST CHASE!*

Denise: What're they doing? *head tilted as she listens*

Sora: Orville is running from Destiny, and Destiny is trying to wallop Orville again.

Denise: *wide grin and more snigger*

Sonny: *calls over softly* Doma, are you awake?

Serenity: *sleepy sound*

Sonny: Are you alright with just a bed and a roof for tonight? I can buy all the other things we need tomorrow.

Serenity: *sleepy confusion* Mhuh? *trying to rub at her eyes*

Sonny: I got you an island of your own. It's bigger than this one, with room for a building called a house. But right now there's just a shelter with a bed in it.

Serenity: *quiet, still not all the way awake* 'S 't on the beach?

Sonny: Do you want it on the beach?

Serenity: *sleepily* Liked listening to the water...

Sonny: *worried frown* Will you be happy if the house site isn't on the beach?

Sora: You'll still be able to hear the water and feel the wind.

Serenity: Mkay.

Sonny: But I'll get the shelter on the beach. *talks more. Argues a bit, that tone that ticks people off or intimidates them coming into his voice*

Raj: *pitches the empty crab shell at Sonny*

Sonny: *bats it away, then concludes the call and figures out how to shut the phone off before leaping to his feet* *wide grin* KITTY GONNA KICK YOUR *AFT*! *runs at Raj*

Raj: ... *invisibob*

Sonny: *skids to a stop* Can't you even *beeping* play the right way?

Raj: *invisible bootshop aimed for your rear, Sonny!*

Sonny: *folds his arms and pouts* If you're gonna cheat then forget it.

Raj: I'm not going to do anything that could scare Sora.

Sonny: She and my Doma aren't afraid of that. *points as Orville and Destiny race past through the trees*

Raj: Sora knows how her twin sister is. And Destiny knows how to play without risking Sora feeling it.

Sonny: *replies by turning and going racing off after Destiny and Orville*

Raj: *back on the visible side of things, will move to sit near the snuggle pile*

Denise: *sitting with her elbows on the sand in front of her crossed legs as she chats with Sora* *slight head-tilt* Rinny need a blanket?

Sora: *looks* That might be a good idea. If only to give her something to lay on.

Denise: Want to move to my pod? *is already getting to her feet after making sure of where the cookie bowl is*

Sora: *studying the situation* No, but we will need to lift Serenity and get her back dusted off.

Denise: *over to the storage room to pull out the mat she used when she was first hurt and liked to lay under a tree on the beach* *as she comes back* Think we can do that?

Sora: If we're careful, yes.

Raj: And I'll help.

Denise: *mat go weeee! Denise go SWEAR!*

Raj: *moves to help with the mat*

Denise: Don't *beeping* do that, you *beep*. *listens to see where she is*

Sora: Denise, Raj is the only one around to help you. I don't want to wake Serenity up.

Denise: That doesn't mean he has to sneak up on me. *found Raj. Socks him on the back of the shoulder with the side of her fist*

Raj: *squawks at the hit to his shoulder*

Sora: *snerks at the squawk*

Denise: *scowling and grumbling* Where's the mat?

Raj: I'll get it. *rubbing at his shoulder a bit as he moves to retrieve the mat*

Denise: *steps over and gently touches Serenity to see how she's doing*

Serenity: *sound asleep, soothed by the waves, and the slight commotion*

Denise: *brows up with surprise* She's okay with all this racket.

Sora: *slight headtilt* Huh. I wonder why?

Raj: *back with the mat* Maybe she's getting used to the racket.

Denise: *points to the nice place under the palm at the edge of the beach* Put it there, glitchhead. *looks around and snerks as she hears a soft yelp from the direction of the lagoon* Sounds like Kittycat got a bath.

Raj: *amusedly* That's because your husband and Sora's twin pulled him in. *moves to lay the mat down where Denise indicated*

Denise: *disgusted growl* Great. The fat*aft* and the freak are too wet to move Rinny.

Raj: *dusting himself off* Give me a moment and I'll get her moved to the mat.

Denise: *protective scowl* She doesn't know you.

Orville: *is that soft bellow of laughter from the lagoon*

Raj: *small frown*

Sora: ... Maybe if we used a wish to dry Orville off?

Denise: *scowl deepens* You've got those things here?

Sora: I can get one... *pause* Or we could ask Destiny for one.

Denise: *lifts her head* What's she doing with 'em?

Sora: She got them from Kup.

Denise: *sucks in air before she can catch herself, then snorts to cover it up* Dumb*aft* thing to give a kid.

Sora: They're the toy wishes from the Black Dog.

Denise: *scowl* *doubtfully* Toy? Reality changing energy's no toy.

Orville: *from the shore of the lagoon* Whoa, tingly. *funny bibble sound*

Destiny: *clickerfit*

Raj: Orville, would you mind helping move Serenity to the sleeping mat, please?

Orville: Huh? Sure. *sound of him coming through the undergrowth*

Sonny: *yelp!*

Orville: *glances over his shoulder, and then walks over to drop gently to one knee next to Serenity and carefully slip a hand under her shoulders. Waits then to see what she'll do*

Serenity: *quiet little sound, continues to sleep*

Orville: *bit of a grin, and a glance at Sora to see if she's alright with him being so close*

Sora: *small smile*

Orville: *bigger grin, and then slips his other hand under Serenity's legs before carefully rising to his feet* *soft rumble* Who's dusting her off?

Denise: *starts to lift her hands, and then realizes that she probably can't do it and scowls horrifically*

Sonny: *soft and protective* I will.

Sora: Here, let me. * will move to gently dust Serenity's back and legs clean*

Sonny: *goes and sits by the mat instead*

Orville: *holding Serenity steady through the dusting, his head turning slightly so that he can check on Destiny*

Destiny: *crouched by the shore, is clickstorming and 'talking' to the rock cod*

Orville: *grins, and then looks to Raj to share the cute*

Raj: *watching Destiny with a small smile on his face*

Sora: *softly* There. She's dusted off now.

Orville: *quietly* Great. *turns to walk over and gently lay the injured woman on the mat*

Denise: *in the meantime had gone to get her sheet* *has brought it back now, but stopped because she realized she wasn't sure where anyone is and she doesn't want to step on anyone*

Sora: *gentle clicks, will move to guide Denise over*

Denise: *startled and growled at the touch, but settled down immediately and lets herself be guided*

Sora: *more gentle clicks*

Denise: You sure you're me? I'd have socked me for that. *head turning as she listens, and then stopping as she zooms in on the soft rumbling that Orville has started*

Sora: *quietly* I'm not Destiny... She'd have socked you for that.

Denise: Ah. Is the fat*aft* by Rinny?

Sora: Yes. And so is Sonny.

Denise: *moves away from the guiding and walks over to the mat with confidence, then kneels and starts to cover her friend up*

Orville: *jogs over to get a pillow and bring it back*

Denise: *careful pillow fixing, and a slap at Sonny's hand when he tries to help*

Sonny: *dark scowl*

Destiny: *quiet scoldies! Came over because she thought snuggles were gonna happen*

Sonny: *quick look toward the little girl* I'm alright.

Denise: *leans back on her heels and reaches for little sister* C'mere. You have anymore wishes?

Destiny: *chirps and scoots over closer to Sissy*

Denise: *arms around her younger alternate* *softly* If you have one more wish, we can make a really good surprise for Aunty Rinny.

Orville: *grinning at the cute again. And taking pictures with that camera he wears in one eye*

Destiny: *chirp! Will dig through her subspace and produce another wish*

Denise: *grins as she catches the soft sound of the little twinkle of light* I wish that everything someone needs to eat a light chiton dinner was at Rinny's place*

Orville: *calling to order that dinner and get it delivered for dinner time tomorrow*

Sonny: 0_0

Sora: *leans on Raj, a bit of wordless communication going on between them as they watch Denise and Orville*

Orville: *looks over at Sonny* Pommer or lera for the side?

Sonny: Doma likes pommer. *still a bit bewildered to be watching Denise get presents for Serenity*

Orville: Pommer. Fried gently with just a touch of pink salt. No, we don't have pink salt. But it's awesome. *grin*

Destiny: *excited clickstorm, scoots to show Orville the nom Sissy gave her earlier!*

Orville: *finishes the call and pats his phone, then looks at Destiny with a grin* You want me to cook that for you, Clicker?

Destiny: *chirp? This is noms to be cooked?*

Orville: Sure. *grin* I can make you a pommer burger.

Raj: *speaks up quietly* She's used to apples as sweet food.

Orville: *quizzical frown for the smaller man* We don't have a lotta sweet stuff here.

Destiny: *clickerfit*

Raj: Chalk it up to a difference in realities, then...

Destiny: *much thinking and more clickerfit*

Denise: *has lain back next to Rinny and is conversing with Sora. Snorts softly as she hears Raj ask about where to buy a supply of the little eggs that had been served for lunch* *listens to the clicking and mantalk fade toward the kitchen*

Sora: *amused headshake* I have a feeling some of those eggs will be fed to Tracks.

Denise: That a bad thing? *listens to her home and inhales deeply of the fresh, pure air*

Sora: No. It will be funny. Tracks has a very expressive face.

Denise: *lazily* Too bad I'll miss it.

Sora: I'll get a recording. He also makes amusing sounds. *chuckles softly as she decides to herself that she's going to find a way for Denise to see Tracks' epic faces* There was this one time someone slipped Tracks a stuffed chili. He reacted to it so strongly that Raj, Magnus, and Dion were all reacting, not to mention how poor Major MacKenzie reacted.

Denise: Glitch gravy, you guys are cracked. *settles down to hear more story details*

Sonny: *looks from the comfortable huddle of women to the two men and a sparklet busy at the kitchen, then shrugs and tells his phone to call up his paperwork. Will work and be productive till someone wants him for something else*


that night


Destiny: *is clicking and popping as she dreams, happily snuggled against Aunty Rinny*

Sora: *snuggling between Raj and Denise, is also sound asleep*

Serenity: *woke up for a little bit, is groggily watching the sea and considering going back to sleep, since it's peaceful, and she's sleepy anyway*

Orville: *is a shadow on the beach at the edge of the gently glowing ocean, having a quiet conversation with Sonny*

Sonny: *crouched to watch the water with curiosity as he converses with Orville. There's a peaceful and interested tone to his voice*

Denise: *reaches over Serenity without waking and pats the clicker*

Destiny: *clicks slow as she snuggles closer to Serenity*

Serenity: *very quiet sigh as she shuts her eyes and goes back to sleep. Today has been a long day and she is tired* *will sleep deeply and contentedly*
