"Oh my, who is this?"  Meta said sweetly, his fatherly instincts kicking in.  "May I, you know, see, him?" he asked hesitantly.  But before he could even get close to him, Arya was there.  The scent hit her like a blast.  Running toward it, she went right up to Alarice, and pulled her aside.  "Al, I think I know something, but before I do or say anything, I need to know where you got this kit."  Arya tried to make the words come out calmly, but they came out in more of a slur that was almost to fast to understand.  

"Uh, I'll be right back."  Hal said to Thalia and Fire.  Running of, she stopped in front of the new kuhna.  She realized that it was another Candy Corn to her shock.  "Hi, I'm Hal." she said timidly.  She was new to the whole friends thing, but he seemed really nice.  "Hey, who's that?" Thalia asked.  "But, now that she's gone, what should we do?"

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now Im just numb

Alarice seemed surprised at Arya's sudden outburst.  "Um, well, I...  Well, Jack returned from the Slums at some point, and he brought this little fella back from him.  From what he told me, he was of a litter af five and was either lost or put up for adoption because the parents couldn't handle him.  One of those two.  You never know... Oh.  Ooooooh!  You had five!" A little bubble of emotion formed in Alarices throat.  She didn't know what else to say.  Here she was blabbering on and on, when this could have been Arya's Kit!  The sudden silence was broken by the humming of Tiothy, the kit, who was sill attached to Alarice's arm.  "Mmmmmmmmm Hmmmmmm Dooooooo Hmmmm..." he hapily sang, swinging his two tiny tails around, not knowing what was going on.

Meanwhile, Fire and Thalia had been left alone.  Fire shrugged at Thalia's question and said, "I don't know...  Wanna make out?" he got a wierd look from Thalia.  "What?  It is a great time-passer." he added.  The he looked over to where Hal had gone.  "Oh crap, is that Iksu?  Oh crap...." he was about to start panicing, since he had left Annabelle with Iksu before he left.  Ah, irony.  "Um...  Uh...  Thalia, stay here for a second... I gotta go... Um... get something..." He was sweating the way he had been before as he hurridly ran over to where Iksu was.
Image
"Oh, hi!  I'm Iksu.  You're a...  a Candycorn Kuhna?  Cool, me too!" he was in a bit of an akward state since a girl about a year younger than him seemingly appeared out of thin air.  He was about to start blabbering again when he was thankfulloy saved by Fire.  "Do you have her?" Fire asked nervously, side-glancing at Thalia.  
"Of course.  She's in the bucket-  No wait!  I mean, uh... let me get her..." he didn't want Fire didding through his bucket to find his doll, so he quickly diverted.  Hal looked a little confused, but Iksu tried not to blush too much.  He pulled his Candycorn bucket on over and stuffed his face in the hole.  Muffled sounds of his voice could be heard as he tried to get the little Kuhna to come out.  "Come on little girl... No wait!  Let go of that!  Hey, what're you...  Um..." he pulled his face back out a bit and looked in from there, and every few seconds a paw would flash out of the bucket and bat him on the nose.  Just simply hitting with a tiny paw, hardly even able to feel.  "Ouch." he said sarcasticly.  Then, a large and sudden lout meow could be heard from in the bucket as a motion of blur jumped out and attached itself to Iksu's face.  He jumped back in alarm and flailed around as a tiny Kuhna kit held on for dear life, digging it's tiny claws into the sides of his head.
You have GOT to be kidding me... Fire thought to himself.

Thalia ran over toward Fire, and all of the sudden, she saw, wait, her kit!  "Ok, Fire," she said, pulling him aside, "where did she come from?!  Is she yours, or...is that..."  The shock was overwhelming.  The last time she had seen her was as she was being wheeled out of the hospital, with Meta chasing along the little stretcher, and Thalia just sitting in the waiting room, crying.  Looking at the little kit, she kept trying to come up with some type of explanation for everything.  But Hal was doing just fine.  Trying to get the poor kit off of Iksu's face, she caught it, then cradled her in her arms.  "Aaw.  Is this your sister?" she said, looking up at Iksu.


"Al, I think that's my son.  I had five, but three just vanished.  The hospital had no idea what happened." Arya was beginning to feel faint, and collapsed on the ground, panting.  "Arya!" Meta cried worriedly.  Looking up at Alarice, he gave her a help-me-now look, not knowing what else to do.

Alarice was stunned when Arya suddenly collapsed.  She stood there for a moment, not really sure if she should help or if it would only make it worse somehow.  Then, Timothy swing off her arm and landed on Arya's shoulder.  He swatted at her with his tails, then licked her cheek and said, "Nap time?  Shhhhhhhhh!  She's sleepin'..." He then curled in a ball on Arya's face and fell asleep, and it was all Alarice could do not to laugh.

Image
When Hal thankfully got the Kit off of his face, Iksu walked over and said, "Well... No, but it sure feels like it.  I mean, I kinda wish she was... But uh, she's Fire's kid.  Her name is Annabelle." He blushed a little and looked over at Fire, not quite sure what to do next.  Then, Annabelle began to thrash around in Hal's arms and said, "M-m-m-m-m-m-ma!" When she was finally let free, she skittered on over to Thalia and sat on her foot.  She batted Thalia's leg with her paws and repeated the half word over and over.  
"Anna, sweetie, what are you doing?"
Annabelle then looked at Fire, noticing him for the first time, and giggled, but still continued hitting Thalia gently to try to get her attention.

Waking up, Arya felt something on her face.  Lifting her hands up gently, she felt a small kit on her face.  "What an excellent place to sleep." she thought a bit sarcastically.  Gently lifting him up, she realized that she was right.  Her little son.  Well, he was in a good home, a great one actually.  She wouldn't be around much longer, and Alarice would always have a part of her that way.  Getting up, Timothy cradled in her arms, she whispered to her, "Good bye old friend."  Putting him back in Alarice's arms, Arya vanished.  

(Wow, corny, sorry, but now that this is done, I'm ready.  Thanks.)


"Hey, Thalia, where'd Mace go?"  Hal was running back over right when Thalia started kissing Fire.  Those words shook her. "Aah, Mace!  Fire?  You see Mace anywhere?  Oh no..."  Looking around, she calmed down immediately when she saw Iksu's bucket crawling away.  Pointing at it, Hal started laughing, while tapping Iksu trying to get his attention to it.



"Huh, where'd she go?"  Meta said, a bit worried.  Arya seemed to have been acting weirdly, but hopefully it would be ok.  "So what now?"

Alarice was kind of surprised when Arya suddenly left.  She had expected her to stay longer; after all, she HAD just met her long lost son.  It didn't makeuch sence, but oh well.  She walked over to meta an smiled.  She gently placed Timothy in Meta's arms.  After all, he had asked to see him.  Timothy yawned, opening his little mouth and curling his tounge, shen snuggled closer to Meta.  It was so cute!  
Image
"Huh?  Oh!  C'mere little fella..." Iksu ran around, trying to catch the little Kuhna in his bucket, when his doll fell out in front of Hal.  "Um... Ah....  Er...." he tried to thing of a valid excuse when she noticed it.

During this, Fire was also trying to catch the running bucket.  He and Iksu tripped over each other constantly, so it didn't look like the bucket would be in reach anytime soon...

When Fire got out of earshot, Anna's expression clearly changed.  She tapped on Thalia's ankle and said to her, "Mom, right?" It was clear- perfectly clear!  Fire had always thought she couldn't speak, when she had been hiding this from him the whole time!  Smart little girl...

"You look so much like your father.  Oh my, sweetie..."  Thalia was so overjoyed that she found her, but Anna was Fire's now.  "So have you been hiding the fact that you can talk so well?" she said with a mischevious grin on her face.  


"Um, is this yours?" Hal said, gently picking up the little doll.  Seeing how Iksu looked embarrased at her finding of the doll, she pulled out her own Russian Blue Calico doll.  "I have one to, but it's more or less for occupying the little ones at the Caverns now.  They've been bored lately." she said, blushing slightly.  

Meanwhile, Mace was still running around in the pumpkin.  Soon, he reached Alarice, and bumped smack dap into her, almost knocking her over.  "Jeez, he's gotten strong!" Meta said jokingly.

When Mace bumped into Alarice, she jumped a little and let out a somewhat loud 'Oh!', which woke Timothy up.  He, in turn, flailed around and fell out of Meta's arms and on 
to of the bucket (which would currently be the bottom of it, as Mace is inside and it is flipped over him) and trapped  Mace underneath.  Alarice then doubled over laughing; she just couldn't help herself!
Image
"Uh, it's... Uhm, I mean it's uh......" Iksu still didn't want to admit that te doll was his, so he was stumbling to make an excuse but to no avail.
Fire came up behind Hal with a sly smirk on his face and was about to comment on the dolls.  Iksu's eyes grew wide and he held his breath, hoping that Hal would cover for him.  His popularity would pop if everyone knew he 'played' with dolls.

Meanwhile, Annabelle seemed to be having a childishly adult conversation with Thalia.  "Yes, but you can't tell him, or the other daddy-  here, for the sake of non-confusion, that guy," here, she pointed at Meta, "is Daddy #1, and Fire is Daddy #2.  Now for my question, I need a mommy, so mommy #1, meaning you, are you going to stay with Daddy #1 or Daddy #2, and will I have to come?  Also, Daddy #1 isn't stupid, is he?  I don't want to inherit the wrong genes," It was truely amazing to see such a small creature speak as if she is a collage graduate.  She twitched her ears when she heard the commotion going on with Timothy and looked back at him.  "Boys." she huffed.

"Wow, you are a good actor, guess you get that from your father.  But yes honey, I'm your mommy.  And I am with you, your father and I aren't really together, I'm with Fire.  I love him, and he loves me, so you'll always have a mom."  Thalia was at the point of crying, seeing her pronounced dead daughter live and well, not to mention more than smart, so she just pulled her into a hug. "So Alarice, what should we do?"  Meta asked.  This was getting hard, since there were now so many people here.  


Mace was getting even more excited, and began running around everywhere even faster.  "Hey, come on Mace!" Hal said.  "Come on!  Please, you have to come back and give Iksu his bucket back.  Pleeeaaase?" she pleaded.

Alarice really wished she could be alone with Meta again.  Then an idea sprang into mind.  "Hey, how about the kids go off in their own group and we adults can go in a group or split up.  It sure would make the hunting easier, and Iksu's becoming more responsible; he could look after the kits," Then, Iksu tripped over the bucket and went tumbling.  "Uhm, why I MEANT to say is, Hal is getting pretty responsible.  She could probably look afrter the kits- and Iksu, in that matter."
Fire shrugged, then grinned.  That could work out for him too; and he saw what Alarice was trying to do.  "Yeah, uh, Thalia and I could go togather, Alarice and Meta, and Hal and Iksu along with the other munchkins." He looked around.  "Hey, where IS Thalia?"
Image
"Yay!" Annabelle said.  But before she could say anything else, her ear flickered.  "Daddy #2 is looking for you.  Don't forget... Shhhhhh... Meep!" Annabelle said, inserting the last part when Fire came over.  He smiled, completely unaware that his adopted daughter had just been speaking in full syllables.  "So... I see you're happy to have met Anna.  It's a shame she can't talk yet... She would probably have a pretty voice like yours." Fire said.

"Sure, as long as Hal agrees to it."  Thalia said.  Looking at Hal once again, she gave her a questioning look.  "Ok, I guess." Hal said a bit absentmindedly.  She was really just thinking about Iksu at the time.  "Maaaa!" Mace screamed from under the bucket angrily.  "Hewp!"

"So Al, I well, um."  Looking around, just to make sure that the others were still occupied, he simply leaned forward and kissed her.  Meta was really running out of ideas and this was something he was wanting to do anyway.

Alarice was very surprised when Meta kissed her.  She didn't know what to say, so she just kind of stood there stuttering.

When the bucket started 'talking', Timothy started freaking out.  He began whacking at it (harmlessly) and screeching, as if he were being attacked.  Completely distracted by the scene,  Iksu hadn't heard what Hal had said about the arrangement.  He quickly ran up to the bucket and lifted Timothy, still kicking and screaming, off very gently with his mouth.  "Alarice, a widdle halp here?!" he called out in a mumble.  He looked over in her direction and raised and eyebrow, then got destracted again by Timothy.

Image

Meanwhile, Annabelle leaned up in Thalia's arms and whispered in her ear, "To calm Timothy down, tap him on the nose.  He'll fall a sleep.  Trust me, and you'd better hurry before he claws Iksu's eyes out."

Meta blushed and backed away.  "So, um, I guess...  oh dear... I think I should take Mace home before he gets into more trouble... see you next time?" he said, embarrassed.  He ran over and lifted the bucket, then picked mace up very gently.  "Thalia, I'm going to go ahead and take Mace home." he said.  He waved goodbye to Alarice before he started walking off.

Thalia nodded and did exactly what Annabelle said.  It seemed to work.  "Oh, I guess I should go, too.  Hal, maybe it would be a good idea if you came too.  Your friends will probably be wondering where you are," she said.  "Bye Annabelle..." she whispered gently, placing her in Fire's arms.  She kissed fire and then motioned for Hal to follow her as she headed in the direction that Meta went.  

"Oh, okay then." Hal said.  Before following, she scooped up Iksu's doll and gently placed it in the bucket, then handed the bucket to him.  "See ya later." she said with a wink as she took her own bucket and skipped off after Thalia.

Alarice waved akwardly as Meta disappeared, and said goodbye to everyone else.  When they were gone, she turned to Fire and said, "Well, I guess we should be on our way, too." She took the sleeping timothy out of Iksu's mouth and cradle him in her arms.
Timothy snorted when Alarice took him, and opened his eyes slightly to look in her face.  "Auntie..." he mumbled before dosing off again.

"Goodbye," Fire said, taking Annabelle.  He looked down at her, but she seemed to be sleeping.  "Yeah, I guess we should go too.  Lead the way," he said.

Image

"Buhbye!" Iksu mummbled with Timothy still in his mouth.  He was relieved when Alarice took him, and said, "Thanks.  And yeah, I guess we should go, too."
Image
"Goodbye mom..." Annabelle said quietly while she was being passed to Fire.  She acted like she was sleeping when Fire looked down at her.
