'These things're coming out it bunches now, aren't they?' came the soudless thoughts of the incredibly, vertically gifted Mishap. Stopping at the correct door, a sealed envelope with spidery, indigo script of "To Shane and Pyren" was flicked under the door. These actions were so used by now that they seemed completely programmed into Jabir as he gave a small knock and moved on back downstairs. "That one will be interesting..."
Quote: Dear Shane and Pyren, As I’m sure you, and everyone else Pyren has encountered, knows that your little MP3 Mishap is incredibly skilled as replaying/mimicking certain sounds, songs, and words. This skill is very fine indeed…but what happens when Pyren starts replaying words and phrases that are quite ghastly for someone so young to say! Where did he pick such things up and as his guardian, how are you going to teach him to stop? Good luck you two! -The Magical Mishap Staff.

Pyren's Quest: Part I It was a nice, quiet and sunny summer morning at Shane's house. Pyren was playing carefully with his blocks, making towers and archways here and there, while his two stuffed animal looked onward like a couple of mismatched sentinels.Shane was downstairs, but he kept a very close eye on the boy from where he was in the garage. He'd already taken the liberty of baby-proofing everything in the house a while ago, so there was no chance of Pyren possibly falling down the stairs. He was just cleaning a few parts of his bike and tightening a few bolts here and there. Finally when he finished he grabbed a rag to clean off his hands with, but to no avail. Climbing up the stairs from the garage to the main floor, he looked up at Pyren from where he was and showed him how dirty his hands were. "Hey Pyren!" Shane called up to the boy who looked through the banister at his dad. Pyren made a face of disgust after seeing his dad's oil stained hands. "Eeew! Meky!" Pyren laughed."Yeah," Shane laughed "A little too meky for me. I'm going to wash my hands. Coming upstairs now!" he announced as he leaped over both the baby fences that blocked off the stairs and then into the bathroom to wash his hands; still keeping an eye on Pyren in the mirror as he did so. Pyren's attention now went back and forth from Shane to his stuffed animals as he tried to sing to them all of a song that he'd heard about washing your hands and brushing your teeth and how you can't do it at the same time. Most of the song was gibberish when Pyren sang it, but Pyren at least knew enough to end on the right note and on the word 'time'.When Shane came out of the bathroom, he noticed it was around noon. About time to feed Pyren lunch. He kept the baby food in a mini-fridge in Pyren's room in HQ. Pyren was sitting pretty close to the door that acted as a portal to the room though. "Excuse me Pyren," he said lifting the boy up and out of the way as he opened the door, then placing him back down again. "I'm just going in here to get some...." Shane's train of thought was thrown off when he looked across the hallway at the front door of the room, where an official looking envelope had been slid under the door. Curious, Shane strode over towards it and slowly opened it. Shane's eyes widened as he read and reread the strange prediction in the letter. Shaking his head in disbelief he whispered under his breath. "Oh, this is bull s**t...I'd never let Pyren hear anything that was inappropriate at his age." Little did Shane know, Pyren had snuck into the room behind him and heard his own slip of the tongue. Looking up at the letter, and pointing to it, almost accusatorily, Pyren echoed Shane.
"Bull sit!" he exclaimed.Shane's eyes shot over to Pyren, and he groaned.

Pyren's Quest: Part II There was a long pause and gaze between Shane and Pyren. Pyren, with his innocent eyes looking up into Shane's as if what he had just said was completely normal. Shane, on the other hand was completely appalled with his own lack of attention. He knew however, that he would never have done anything like that otherwise though. There must've been some kind of magic in the letter, he figured. "Well I guess it can't be helped now," he said as he went into his part of Pyren's room to put the letter on his dresser, and then came back to Pyren to address the matter. Pyren had managed to crawl back through the portal into the house again. To Shane's horror, he found Pyren was talking to his stuffed animals, and trying to teach them the new bit of vocabulary he'd just picked up.“No, no Pyren. Don’t say that word. That word is very, very bad!” Shane said urgently to the boy. “It’s not something you say…ever!” Pyren looked up at Shane, with wide eyes. It was bad? But…he’d just heard his daddy say it. Did that mean that Shane was really bad? Pyren suddenly looked a mixture of both afraid and accusingly at Shane.
“Bad?” Pyren inquired.Shane sighed after noticing Pyren’s expression. “Yes, I was being bad too by saying that word and I’m sorry Pryen. Can you promise not to say that bad word again and say to me too that you’re sorry?” Pyren looked at Shane innocently and replied
“Sowwy,” he said honestly, and then proceeded to make his stuffed animals say that they were sorry too.“Thank you Pyren,” Shane said with a relived sigh. “I’m going to make sure though, that you’re never going to say that word again; and I want you to make sure that I never say that word again either? If any one of us does, we get a time out. Okay?” Pyren made a face at the fact that he’d be able to give Shane a time out, but hated the idea of getting one himself.
“O-ay,” Pyren echoed in agreement.“Great!” Shane exclaimed as he picked up the boy to bring him downstairs into the kitchen “Now, how about some lunch? Do you want to try some grapefruit? It’s a little bit like an orange.” Pyren’s face lit up at the thought of a new orange-like lunch, putting the whole ordeal out of his mind. He nodded briskly and let out a childish cry of delight. Pyren was very hungry, to the point where his mouth watered at the thought of citrus food, and a bit dripped onto Shane’s shoulder as they made their way down to the kitchen.

Pyren's Quest: Part III When Shane got to the kitchen, he put Pyren on his lap as he sat in a chair and cut the grapefruit in front of him. Then, using a grapefruit spoon, he pulled out a small pink piece for Pyren to try. Pyren took the odd colored piece of orange and stuffed it in his mouth and suddenly made a grotesque face. It wasn’t like an orange at all! However after sucking on it for a while, Pyren found that even though it was different, it was just as tasty as an Orange. He sucked the piece of grapefruit dry before swallowing it and then began to try and pull out a new piece from the half of the grapefruit.“No Pyren, you need to use this in order to get grapefruit…or you can just squeeze it but that will just make you messy,” Shane then showed Pyren by cutting out another piece and handing it to him “Here you go.” Pyren gluttonously devoured the second piece of grapefruit, and then watched Shane as he peeled a orange into the bowl, as well as the remaining half of grapefruit.When Shane had finished preparing Pyren’s lunch, Shane picked him up and brought him into his high chair and playfully ruffled his hair and tickled him. Pyren had a giggle fit then during the time that it took Shane to get the bowl and bring it over to Pyren. “Alright Pyren, just sit and eat up,” Shane said, and he was about to walk away when he saw the huge frown that had appeared on Pyren’s face. ”Bad!” Pyren said accusatorily to Shane. Shane looked at Pyren quizzically for a long moment, and then reviewed what he had said. Suddenly a loud groan escaped his vocal chords. He wasn’t out of this ordeal yet it seemed. Shane shook his head and tried, as patiently as he could, to correct Pyren one last time. “No Pyren, sit isn’t a bad word. It’s…a different word that sounds like sit.” Pyren still wasn’t convinced of this. Shane was clearly trying to get out of having a time out. Again Pyren repeated himself,
“Bad bad bad!”Shane held up his hands in protest. “No Pyren! There are…two types of sit,” he tried explaining differently to the boy “There’s…bull sit, which is bad. Then there’s the other sit, which is good.” Shane tried to emphasize his point again by holding up his fingers and demonstrating to Pyren the two ways to say ‘sit’. Holding up one finger, Shane repeated “Bull sit is bad,” then sitting down and holding up a second finger he continued but sitting down, or in a chair is good.” Shane grinned hopefully, wondering if Pyren understood this time. Pyren struggled really hard to comprehend this logic behind bad words. Thinking very hard, he tried to repeat and make sense of what Shane had said.
"Bull...bad?" he asked finally, pretty sure that he was right.Shane had to think about this for a while. It wasn’t quite right, but it wasn’t quite wrong. Slowly, he nodded his head. He knew that there were enough cartoons out there that he’d be able to use to convince Pyren that the reason ‘bull’ was a bad word was because it was a bad animal. As for the S-word, Pyren’s infancy seemed to have gotten the word association wrong in the first place! Shane had to contain his excitement at this new revelation as he nodded his head more assurance to Pyren. “Yeah, that’s right. Bull is bad!” Shane said, before finally succeeding in distracting the boy “Now eat up quickly, or I may have to take some of that orange for myself.” Pyren’s eyes widened as he hugged his bowl close to himself.
“Nooooo!” he wailed, and then proceeded to wolf down his lunch. A few moments later though, and Pyren’s eyes began to feel heavy. Somewhere in the day’s events and the natural acid and sugar rush, Pyren lost all his energy.Shane noticed Pyren beginning to fall asleep in his high chair with a 3/4 empty bowl of citrus. “Okay Pyren, time for a nap.” Shane whispered soothingly to the boy as he carefully picked him up and began to bring him up into his crib back at HQ. Pyren let out a squeaky yawn in response and cuddled against Shane’s shoulder as he was brought up into his crib, where he promptly fell asleep.“Goodnight Pyren,” Shane whispered as he wrapped him in his favorite blanket. Then, once Shane was sure that Pyren was safe and sound, he then went over to the forsaken letter and ripped it up into bits that he threw in the waste bin, “And good riddance to you.”

Some minutes after falling in his peaceful sleep, a rather odd and new sensation flowed through his small body. It was like someone had left a faucet dripping a liquid silver string of water onto his head; its mass moving into cool spider-web thin strings that flow in thousands down his face, neck, torso, arms, and legs just below the skin and then collect at his finger tips and toes.
Through out this split second, icey ordeal, this the boy's body changed some. He became bigger as he slept and his markings just a little more brighter. The buttons and other gizmos on his person were much more pronounced and appeared to be able to perhaps work better. A toddler he became, but only until next time.

Growing Pains After his little adventure with Sabriel, Shane returned to the HQ to check on Pyren. As he turned the door knob however, he suddenly got the strangest feeling that something was a little different. He looked about quickly, half expecting for there to be some intruder, but then shrugged it off as nothing as he knew that only he had the key for the room, and the portal to the house. Still, he'd better check on Pyren just in case he was awake and lonely. Shane went into Pyren's part of the room to find that he indeed was just waking up, but suddenly was shocked to find that Pyren was no longer the little baby he had put down to sleep. Pyren had grown! Pyren had awoken just as the last bit of the metamorphasis had ended. Had Shane been there, he would've watched as a flow of acid had spread and quickly hardened into biological matter that made up Pyren's new form. The last bit that Pyren felt was along his back and to his feet. It felt icey at first, but eventually turned into a neat sensation, as if an ice cube had just been sent down his back. Pyren then awoke to find that this sensation was really what it felt like to grow. He smiled up at Shane and wiggled himself to get out of his now tiny crib. He then noticed one major setback. His feet were stuck in the bars.
"Ahh! Daaaddyy! Heelp!" Pyren hollared as he tried to squirm himself free."Woah! Hold on Pyren!" Shane ordered as he ran to the other side of the crib to try and pry Pyrens foot loose from the crib bars. "Owww ow ow!" Pyren cried as he squirmed."Pyren, you're pushing your foot further in. Pull back. This is probably going to hurt a bit." Shane ordered Pyren closed his eyes and braced himself as Shane pushed and he pulled. Suddenly with a painful slip, Pyren fell backwards and was free. A few seconds later a big green rash appeared on his ankle.
"Owwwwwww!!" Pyren began to cry in pain and surprize."Aww, there there Pyren," Shane said as he picked Pyren out of his now too small crib and bringing him through the portal into the house and downstairs into the bathroom "Let's go put an ice pack on that." Pyren sat on the little stool that was in the bathroom as Shane went into the first aid kit to grab an instant ice pack. He smacked it hard so that the acidic chemicals inside it activated and created a cool surface for Pyren's sore ankle to rest on. Then, ever so slowly the stingging pain began to dissapear."Can you move it?" Shane asked Pyren. Pyren was able to move his foot, but not without it hurting.
"No," he said "It brokeen!"Shane shook his head "No Pyren, it's not broken, just a little banged up is all. Keep that ice on it and I'll put some bandages on those cuts." A few minutes and a few bandages later, Pyren's leg was almost all patched up and his bum was really sore from sitting on the stool for so long. Feeling like testing out how his leg was doing, and for the first time, he got up and walked about himself. His skin was still feeling a little raw, but other then that he was fine.
"All good!" Pyren announcedShane and Pyren then walked out into the hallway and Shane ruffled Pyrens hair. "That's good to hear Pyren! Hmm...okay first thing's first now. We need to get you a new bed. I'm going to go out and get one for you now. I need you to stay back at HQ though okay? "But I wanna go tooo!" Pyren complained."No Pyren, I won't be too long. Just stay here and play for a bit and I'll be back soon. Go see if Delphi or Retta wants to play with you or something. Whatever you do though, do not go outside." Then, reaching into the closet that was next to him, Shane pulled out a notebook and a pair of walkie talkies that he gave to Pyren. "Here's a little present for you until I get back though. Think of it like a birthday present. Hey! There's an idea! I'll pick up a cake on my way home too and we'll have a party! Sound like fun?" "Okay!" Pyren agreed. He was always in the mood for parties."Okay," Shane said taking one of the walkie talkies. "They're yours, but I'm just going to borrow this one in case you need me okay? Try giving them a little test. "Ello?" Pyren spoke into the walkie talkie."Hello there Pyren!" Shane said into his end. "Wow!" Pyren exclaimed"Okay, I'll be home soon with a cake and a bed order." Shane told Pyren as he headed out the door before speaking into the walike talkie again as he closed the door. "This is Dad to Pyren! See you soon, over!" "Bieee!" Pyren hollared into his end of the walkie talkie as he made his way back through the portal into his room at HQ.

Shane, with Pyren and Erika at his side, stopped at a street-meat vendor to pick up some pre-wrapped sandwiches and hot cocoa. They were still forced to temporarily live in the compound, but Shane was working out the details of that. However, to stop Pyren's complaining of how much he missed his old room, Shane decided to take the two of them out to town.
"Careful Pyren, it's hot." Shane warned as he handed Pyren a small steaming cup.
Pyren nodded and carefully sipped the drink as Shane paid the vendor and started to hand Erika her drink.
He was about to hand Erika her drink when he realized that he had absolutly no way of communicating to her how hot it was. Her eyes seemed to be fixated on the steam coming out of it. Shane placed the cup in Erika's hand and immediately saw her eyes widen when she noticed how hot it was. Shane was quick to steady the cup in her hands so that she didn't drop it.
"Pyren, can you show Erika how to drink it slowly?" Shane asked.
Pyren gave Shane a quizzical look. He still hadn't gotten used to having a sibling who couldn't hear a thing either he or Shane said. Looking over his shoulder as he sipped, he demonstrated to Erika how to sip the hot chocolate slowly, as Shane pointed to him for Erika to watch.
The message of imitating Pyren began to slowly click into Erika's curious mind, and she slowly lifted the hot cup to her mouth. Despite drinking it slowly, she still didn't brace herself for how hot the contents of the cup would be. She squinted with pain, but kept the cup steady, and then as she was about to give the cup back to Shane, she realized that it was actually pretty good, despite it scalding her mouth. Curiously, she took a longer sip, and suddenly she found that she was enjoying this masochistically hot liquid.
Shane sighed with relief.
"That went better than expected."

Retta was going for a stroll. She felt deliciously independent, now that she had grown bigger, taller, more mature, she was given the freedom to go wherever she pleased whenever it struck her.
At the moment, she was skipping along the streets, past stalls and shops. Her tail raised carefully above the streets to keep the teacup from hitting it.

Taking a cup for himself, Shane took a deep and long sip and sighed out. Man, that was good stuff. Thanking the vendor, the three of them began to move towards a nearby bench to eat their sandwiches, when Shane caught something brightly colored out of the corner of his eye that was moving along the street towards them.
"Hey, Pyren?" Shane asked pointing down the street at the thing moving in their direction, "Does that look familiar to you too?"
Pyren squinted slightly but it only took him a moment before he recognized her. He beamed and got up from the bench, happy to see a fellow Mishap.
"Uh-huh, it's Wetta!" he exclaimed "Can we go say hello?"
"Sure, you can, but wait until she comes this way, I don't want you running off on your own." Shane said
Pyren nodded and stood on the spot waving frantically at the girl in the distance
Erika also looked in the direction that her brother was waving and her eyes automatically zoomed in on the figure moving towards them. She could clearly see the teacup tail and brightly colored wool all over the girl's body. The girl also looked only about her size too, which was all the better for her to stare at all the bright colors that were around her. This was turning out to be a great day.

((Retta's actually teenaged in size, how large/small is Erika? n.n))
Retta was enjoying herself, purposely making vendors believe she was going to buy something before promptly declaring she changed her mind. Oh she gave the impression she was sorry to have taken their time and her ears would droop in apology as she turned to leave. Inwardly, however, she was grinning a wicked, glee-filled grin. Toying with people was so much more interesting now that she had proper articulation and mobility. Being part sheep was also a boon as no one ever suspected such a sweet, docile creature of any malice.
She was in exceptional high spirits when she noticed someone trying to draw her attention. Another shop keeper? No, she doubted it, the figure was too small but the coloration was oddly familiar. Facing the direction of the person, she realized it was one of the Mishaps she had met when she was still young. She had given him a sheepie as well, Pyren Her mind recalled. A bright smile appeared on her lips, they looked genuine enough but you could never really tell with Retta.
"Hello." She made a small wave, her ears flicking in amusement when she saw he had grown bigger since their last encounter. But not as big as I've grown. she thinks smugly to herself.

((Sorry, didn't know how tall Retta was, figured they'd be about the same, guess I was wrong.))
As she came walking down the street, Shane noticed the girl's peculiar behaviour of going to every vendor along the street before she finally noticed Pyren waving to her. He didn't want to comment on this though, as he knew that he himself was also of a peculiar sort. However, he also realized that Retta was alone, just as she was on their last encounter. Another strange thought entered Shane's mind, but he decided not to voice it. Instead however, the question was still asked, and came from a different, and smaller source.
"Hello Wetta! Why you all alone?" Pyren asked still smiling and gulping down his hot chocolate, curious as to where her mom or dad was hiding.
Erika was totally enthralled with the brightly colored girl, that she barely paid attention to where she was putting the dull hot chocolate cup. Shane actually had to, embarrassingly, nudge it in the right direction of her mouth occasionally she was so spaced out.

Why was she alone? The question only made Retta feel more smug and superior. "Because I'm big enough to take care of myself." She explained with a cheerful wiggle of her ears. "You look like you grew too." she adds before leaning forward for a closer look at the younger Mishap. Her tail never swished to and fro, the teacup was far too delicate for her to do that, instead it remained raised in the air quite still but still interesting to look at given the bow she tied at its base near the cup.
