"If you don't mind that...…..Where did Natysh go?"
"Whelp, looks like you have no other choice. Come on in, and close the door."
*Slam*
"Tell the truth, Ruby."
"I sensed your heartbeat racing faster than a speeding bullet when I said...."
"No. No. That's not what I meant?"
"Why?"
"I...…heard you watching cartoons as we were walking up the stairs. What's that all about?"
"Safe…..I guess."
"You do know cartoons squeeze as much adult content in them as worse as adults themselves?"
"Something wrong with that?"
"Nevermind.
Speaking of fitting a lot of content into a small frame, Darius and I have made modular progress, thanks to Moe."
"You have?"
"Would you like to see?"
"There's nothing here for you to test on."
"What do you mean?
*Ribbit*
"How'd you sneak that frog in here?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Is that a Kid?"
"No, but you can make him one."
"Oh no. no. no. I am not going to eat him."
"What if it's a her?"
"Hand her here, and I'll give her legs.
You sure you can change her back, cause as I told Darius, I am good at making something, but reversing it…..Landon hasn't taught me that part."
"That's where I come in. You have to trust me.
Do.....you trust me?"
*Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*
".....Nothing happened. Why can't I change her?"
"It'll come, in due time. Don't worry.
As you said, Upfront taught you to fight, Landon taught you to Heal.
This is the first time you are experimenting with what Landon taught you.
Now, just sit back and watch.
Her seed is now in her. I just have to give her the...…magical antidote?"
"Something like that. Hold her steady while I inject."
"Like this?"
*Prick*
"Perfect.....Now let her go."
"Wooo....what's happening. Her body is starting to bulge."
"Ribbit."
"Rainbow?"
"Just wait."
"Ribbit.
......Ribbit.....Ri.....bit.
...Ri...…bit...…Riii...…."
*Piisssshhhh*
"Aaaaaaaghhhh."
"Change her back. Change her back.
Why don't animals wear clothes?"
"But isn't she beautiful?"
"Who…..
*Blink*
Who are you?
*Blink*
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ruby. What's your name?"
"Name? What's that? I've only heard people call me Loud."
"Well, would you like a name? A name is your most defining characteristic, wrapped up in a bow. It signifies who you are, your traits…..your attributes."
"Then I....I'd love the name….."
*Prick*
*Vroom*
"Rainbow, what was that for? We had a nice conversation going."
"Just wanted to show you it worked."
"Then why did you need me?"
"Ribbit."
"Ummmmmm...."
"You used all my Seed didn't you?"
"Not all of it. Darius thought we should, but I said we need to make sure you can still...."
"Get by without us."
"Ruby, don't say that."
"You've been making significant progress without me. What I feared is here."
"Somebody finally using your seed? Ruby, we're not using it as a weapon, but more of a...…how do you say...."
"I meant, wanted.
No longer feel wanted, Ruby."
"Excuse me?"
"You can now cure animals, as well as make some of your own. Elwin can wish upon the stars, without need of any physical aid like me to grant it. Once I died, I was divided up, and now...…what do you even need me for?"
"Ruby, your powers may have been divided, as they should have been long ago; and I agree, how we got them is not just, but we did.
Thing is…"
*Ribbit*
"You're the only one that knows how to use them wisely. We need your brain, not your brawn. Don't you see, Ruby?
Your smile is what won people's hearts, not your wits or your skills."
"Ugggghhhhhh…..
Then why was I brought back?"
"Ruby, if you get your head out of that pillow then I'll tell you."
"What?"
"The school is in need of Teachers."
"Yes."
"As far as I'm concerned...…I see one sitting before me now."
