Lana smiles happy she's got no make up on and she looks good. For once men are talking to her. She looks straight ahead and Angela is talking to Kyle.
Angela's baby bump is really small for 6 months.
"Julia is really happy those girls have been taking such good care of you. The babies are all healthy." Kyle says looking at the bump with 3 baby girls.
"Wow, how do you have a small bump with multiples?" Lana asks.
"I don't know. I think it's all that exercising." Angela says.
Lana nods, "That's really impressive. You look so healthy. You really were under the best care. I only spent a few days with those girls but their energy is just exciting."
Angela smiles, "It really is great here at Murasaki. It would make anyone think of running away once you've had a taste of this place. I am afraid to see what those girls will be like when they are our age."
Lana smiles, "I am afraid their father's are little over protective. We might not have to worry about them." She says laughing at Colin and his group sitting close to Luna's house mates.
Lycan gulps when Brandon asks him to pass the salt and he passes the baby instead sweating buckets.
Brandon laughs looking at Tom, "I said the salt."
Lycan takes the baby but doesn't pass the salt, it's like his brain has the capacity for one thought at a time.
Kai passes the salt instead, "So, June, your face man." He cracks his knuckles.
June takes deep breaths, "Oh, this hideous face? What girl would find it attractive?"
Sharon shakes his head at Troy slinging his arms over Raiden and Xaaria's shoulders after sitting between the two of them.
"Did you get taller?" Cinna asks his brother Terra. They haven't seen him at the house in a while.
Sharon smiles seeing Misty. He saved her a seat.
Colin sits between the two and Sharon has no problem reaching over Colin to hug her hello.
"How are things back home?" Sharon asks.
"Great. Everyone wanted to come, they were really upset only I got invited." Misty says.
"Ohh, I didn't know you guys like festivals too. I'm sure next time an invite will be extended. You look really great." Sharon says smiling.
~~~
"Moom!!! It's still me." Terra says.
"You should call home!" Terra's dad says.
Avery smiles at her parents holding her twin sisters, "Awww, that's so amazing. They're so beautiful."
Mira smiles looking at the babies, "They look so cute already." She complements the little girls.
Cheshire yawns and it sounds like a lion's yawn. His Mom looks at him and he remember to tell her he has a power.
"What is it son?"
"Animal transformation." Cheshire says.
"It's way cooler than that." Este buds into the conversation and like the chatter box she is takes over the entire conversation.
Charlene is with Larva yawning too.
"Are you feeling okay?" Larva asks.
"Why are we up so early?" Charlene asks.
The adults laugh.
"For the festival princess. I can take you home and you sleep in your room."
Charlene nods inviting Este.
"Ohh, this is the famous Este you always tell me about. Let's go. You girls get some sleep. We'll be back later." Larva takes the girls to his camp tucking them in and laughing at the sleeping Charlie.

Toya sighs tired of trying so hard to get Luna's attention but she has time to be curt with him. He takes her hand and they sit in the time vault, "Please stop ignoring me. I am really clueless about what you want and what you deserve and I keep thinking it will just come to you, but I always communicate with you how I want to be loved. Even the weirdest things I tell them to you, you're just pushing me away and it's like you want to make room for someone else not for me to be better. Tell me what you want Luna, show me!"
Luna looks at him and cries, "Toya I can't keep letting you in, you always choose your family over me and I will never let you in because I can't replace them. They took care of me too, they raised me too, they're my parents too, she's my sister too. Do you realize how hurt I am by all this? My own family turning against me and suddenly I have to realise I am an outsider and my parents were not there because they didn't know how else to save me. My parents were not there because of something bigger than me. You are the only family I have and for you to reject me twice it burns my soul to a bitter pile of ash and I can't let you love me. I love you Toya, I love you like I need you to live. I don't think that will ever get away, but I can't be in love with you."
Toya sighs, taking her hands into his, "Fine, you want this to be over for good than so be it. We're done. For good." He kisses and walks away getting out of the time vault.
The guys run after Toya knowing the familiar Aura around him.
Toya sits in his room crying.
"Don't worry. We've got you covered." Ariel and Leo say.
~~~
Diane comforts Luna crying in her room, "He'll change, and he'll be better and stronger for you Luna. You can't break up with him for good, no one could ever love you as much as that love sick puppy"
Luna cries, "He hurt me so much! Why would he think that way of me? Why does he never choose me but everyone else does. The one person I love more than anything. I want more than anything and he never picks me!!!! It's not enough to be in love with me, I never gave him a reason to think of me like that! I would do anything for him and he knows that, but he just ... He just got comfortable with the idea I am his, I can't make this easy for him. I want him to know that I am someone he should care about more. I make my everything revolve around him, he has one foot here the other there. I hate that!"
Illumi pats her head, "Trust Ariel, he'll work on him. Don't make this harder than it has to be entertaining other boys."
Luna nods, "Okay." She wipes her tears away and Sarah and the girls are waiting downstairs sleeping on the sofa.
She sleeps in the time vault getting a break.
~~~
Mira smiles celebrating the prize she won with her dad.
"You've gotten stronger." Colin says happy they won. That was a lot tougher than he thought.
He watches the kids play battle beats with their cards. This one has no coins it's just interesting to watch.
Aira, Staria, and Medallion battle a trio.
"I summon Leo the lion." A little Leo appears wiping all 3 of Aira's teammates out.
Leo smiles, "Ohh, I look really good." He says forgetting he should be invisible.
The invaders keep it cool seeing Leo.

Lupin and his group are sleeping at home. He didn't want to go since Mira went to hangout with her dad.
"Oi, we're sitting by a fire. Wanna come?" Chronos invites Lupin and his group.
Scorpio sits by the fire, "Does Luna hate me? I swear I did nothing to her."
Lycan sighs, "You're into her and you don't try to hide it. She's just scared of what that will do to Toya. He's a little unstable where Luna is concerned. Only Rin is dumb enough to push his buttons, but she's scary powerful she can even hold her own against an Alpha. Luna isn't like that, she tries to avoid conflict as much as possible, and you are conflict, so she has to avoid you. You probably don't know this, but there's a no dating rule on us. Someone is trying to kill specific people in the major camps and we're not supposed to be showing it that we're dating anyone. We can't even have kids until the next 10 years. I think we suck at keeping it on the low."
The guys laugh.
"That's a lot to take in. Mira never said anything to me." Lupin says.
"That's unwise, she's one of the major targets." Chronos says
Lupin sighs, "I'm worried about her. I don't know if you've noticed but from a new guys perspective all you ever hear around here is Luna this, Luna that. I think that's why other girls are threatened by Luna, not because of her but because of you guys. It's like you're this army she has under her finger tips and at a moment's notice you'd drop everything for her. Maybe if you give the others more attention. I get that there's a lot of work to be done around here, but time off is available. We can make time for them, make them feel that we're there for them too and not just one person."
Lycan yawns, "Sort of the impression I got when I first arrived too, but you're still wrong. We take care of her because she goes out of her way to take care of other people. Dodge, maybe. I will admit we don't appreciate her enough. Rin is goofy most of the time but she'll tell you exactly what she wants and communicates how she's feeling. Ava is a little shy and you just need a gentler approach and it takes time for her to open up, but little by little she's trying.
"Avery is a hard worker and we check on her multiple times a day because we're unfamiliar with her but she mostly spends time with Gail. Este is a chatter box and an incredible care taker for a girl her age. She takes care of us like we're not older. She pays attention to everything that happens and is reliable. Charlene is playful but a book worm. She's had her head stuck in a book since she was young and she's learning to find her voice and her footing around here.
"Kazumi is new here, and Split trains her personally, when he's stuck he tells us and we have a one on one session with her and if we fail we take her to Thomas or to Colin. Tina is tough but really shy she knows how to put up a front and we know that so we handle her with caution knowing the real her is more sensitive than she makes it out to be.
"Kate is quiet and helpful. She once told me she has a fear of being useless around here and since than has worked more on her confidence and bravely takes on any task handed to her, she's a bit of a scardy cat but she's diligent, focused, and where ever Kate is working you don't have to follow or double check she stays committed.
"Beauty comes from a large family she naturally feels comfortable surrounded by large groups she is uncomfortable with one on ones so if anyone needs to talk to her we usually go as a group and she'll easily communicate. One on one she says she feels under pressure like she's in trouble or did something wrong. She communicates with you so there won't be any misunderstandings.
"Xaaria prefers working in the kitchen and when she's not doing that she's lagging behind. She's slower than the others and you have to exercise patience and handle her one on one because the others are usually far ahead, but when she finally catches up it's for good, she's not the type to back slide.
"Sarah is a really good and supportive friend, but she's also an incredible leader and no one sees that. She's strong and when she's mad she has a rotten attitude, when she's happy she has a contagious energy, she's super patient and you'll never know she was there unless you think about her and you realise oh, she was here the whole time. She's excellent with children and loyal. She enjoys making gifts for others and really loves taking care of herself.
"Una is very shy, but over these past months I've seen her grow out of her shell and she's very energetic and smart. She enjoys reading and hates training but she'll complete tasks and follows instructions exactly as you put it. If you say something indirectly you'll be in trouble because she takes things at face value. She's not a fan of comedy and humor, as a result of being bullied and made fun of, it's a sensitive issue and we know a little bit about what she's been through so we invite her to join us here and there so she can get out of her shell and learn to trust people again. We know she's still got trust issues and we understand that. She's comfortable with Avalon at the moment and they occasionally sit together and she opens up to him. He represents all of us where trust is concerned but she's opening up though it's really slowly.
"Charlie has a burden on her hands of taking care of her family being a parent and sacrificing her own happiness for them. If you ever say anything to her, I don't care if you're joking I'll kill you. We take care of her because she never had someone take care of her, ever. Everyone has a back story and a story about them but they are always around for us to get to know them.
"Mira, is always sitting on her own. If you don't greet her first she won't greet you. She won't do anything unless you ask. She's always got Luna's name on her mouth. Helps when someone is watching but when no one is watching slacks off. She is always depressed about something we're doing wrong. The problem is always someone else but never her. She is just being a spoiled brat expecting to be pampered for being Colin's daughter, she should have stayed in the city." Lycan says.
"You forgot Aya." Lupin says.
"She's my girlfriend that's all you need to know." Lycan says.
Isaac nods, "You know all of them by name and how to approach each one."
"Exactly. If I need to try more from now on. I'll try with Dodge." Lycan stands up going to put Tom to sleep.
