 //--October 25th--//------------------------------------A Poem
-by Kiwi
-organized and spellchecked by Glave (aka. The Fruity Bard)
Halloween has come at last
Daddys fat and wears a cast
Stork wings will break the breeze
But my Peo flies with ease
We go trick or treating at 5 past
Mom is a assassin and dad is a knight
Peo looks like a man as he takes flight
Cowan and Vinn dress as florists
And Roku looks like an American Tourist
But I as a Raven, black as the night
Holloween may be but a day
But I sure wish it would come to stay
As corvids mass apon the sky like kites
As I savor the cool auteum nights
The clock ticks away-----------------------------------

//--November 16th -4th month---//------------------------------------"Oh! Kiwi! Come here hon!" L called. The green-headed boy pried his eyes from some of the Walmat video displays that were bolted to the ceiling and rushed to his mother's side. "What is it Mum?" He asked, and stood on his tip-toes to see what L had. "Think your sibling will like this?" She asked lowering a stuffed stuffed black crow into Kiwi's field of vision. Kiwi gasped, "I don't know! But I know I sure would!" He cried, L chuckled and pulled a matching one off the shelf that had light blue eyes instead of black and handing it to him.
"Looks just like Peo, huh?" L asked, Kiwi nodded vigerously. "Thankyou mum!" Kiwi hugged the new addition to his corvid family. "I think I'll name you Lana!" L looked over at him. "Kiwi, did you think up any names yet? Theres still plenty of time, if you haven't thats okay." Kiwi looked up wiht a bright smile. "I've got one for if it's a girl!" He said proudly.
"How about Lenore?" The jubulant youth asked. "Isn't that from 'The Raven'? That poem Glave has been reading to you lately? That poem is so ghastly." She frowned a bit. "Oh, on the contrary mother. The author may be a bit grim, but Lenore is of a beautiful maiden that the character seeks! She is called an Angel among other things! I've been trying to memorize the poem. Want to hear the part where he speaks of Lenore?"
L was thrilled that her adopted son had taken such a great intrest in literature, and even more so in poetry. However she wasn't too fond of Kiwi's attachment to such a dark figure, she didn't want him to become so distant like Skurai was. Corvids had their beauty to them as any songbird did but when cast under the wrong light could look evil or foreboding, but to Kiwi's credit, he had stayed the bright optimistic boy she knew since he settled into the household. She figured her Kiwi was too smart to be influenced by that Poe character.
She smiled and nodded to encourage him to recite the bit.
He looked up and closed his eyes trying to remember the paragraph "Well it mentions her several times, but this about sums up the best bits. 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil, if bird or devil! ...ummm.. By that Heaven that bends above... us- by that God we both adore- Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall... clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radient maiden whom the angels name Lenore.' " He finished with a wide smile that, through no genetic couincidence, looked a hell of alot like his father's.
"Wow! L said, clapping and then patting him on the shoulder, I think you got it all right! Do you realy understand all of that?" She asked. "Most of it!" Kiwi beamed "Glave explains what I don't know, hes realy good with poetry! When I first met you guys he didn't come off as the poetic type, but he actully gets realy into the poems he's reading. It makes them realy exciting. I hope I can read like that some day!" That smile re-appeared and L marveled at him.
"Well, since you put so much thought into it, I geuss Lenore would be a lovely name for a girl! I'll make sure to bounce it off your father and see what he thinks." She suddenly took on a deeper voice, "And I expect and equally stunning presentation on a boy name!" She stood up rigid and saluted him, and Kiwi atutomaticly did the same, and after holding it for about 10 secounds both doulbed over it fits of giggling in the middle of Walmart. A few individuals wagged some eyebrows at the pair before rushing off and Kiwi placed Lana on his shoulder and L sat the matching crow in her hand-basket. They walked along the path between giant towering shelves of baby stuffs picking, proding, poking and inspecting nearly anything soft, blue or birdlike in sight. And as they finaly decided their work was done the two made their way to the cash register.
The lines were way long since it was the weekends and they had to drive to a popular part of the city to find the Walmart, so Kiwi took the time to ask a question he had been meaning to ask. "Mum... why did you pick Raven DNA for the baby?" L sighed, she had known this queston was coming, and had been prepaired for a while. "Well hon, let me start by saying that both Glave and I thought it would be a wonderful chance to pass on our own children, and give you a sibling! Your the best we could have ever hoped for, and I mean it but your dad and I wanted to create our own child for the world, not just raise a beautiful and intelligent one alone.
"And at the same time, this provides us with the most excellent oppurtunity to understand our corvid brothers and sisters just a little more, and also provides us with a prepaired mind to work with!" L tapped her head and then Kiwi's lightly. "Think if we had used the DNA of a cat or a fox! We have no idea what they're like. This way we'll be prepaired for anything unexpected since we both know our field quite well and understand any habits or odd bits that might have to be weened out. Heavens knows we'll need to watch their diet. Crows can take the tough selection nature provides them with, the human side of your new sibling may not be able to handle what the crow part of them tells them they can. See what I mean? We will know what to watch out for." Kiwi seemed to understand and nodded knowingly.
"Overall, Corvids and Ravens are esspessialy smart and beautiful birds, provided with a database of all the animals in the world neither of use would pick another." She held her hand out. "And we knew you would appretiate our desision too!" She smiled and started to load her things onto the converor belt.Kiwi put his hands to his bottom lip and apon thinking about it decided he rather liked his mother's diplomatic responce. And he rather fancied a feathered sibling.
As he handed his mother Lana he stared into the crow's blue eyes, the eyes of a baby corvid, that brilliant blue. And he secretly promiced his future sibling that he would do his very best to watch over, protect, and always love them, no matter what nucince they might bring. As his mother passed papers and cards back and forth with the man at the register Kiwi hoisted up one of the smaller bags and rescued Lana from under a baby book to set her neatly on his shoulder. They both carried the assorted bags out to the Vespa and started pileing them into the sides. L suddenly turned to her pocket.
"We know of a ancient radiation that haunts dis- beep!" L smiled politely and showed Kiwi her celphone which had begun to sing to "Frank Senatra" meaning that she had gotten a call, seeing it was her husband she threw it on speaker phone. "Hey baby, hows it going at the fort?" L cooed to her mate over the cellular obomination. "Oh honieee, the baby is kicking. It's not a very fun feeling.." Her husbands voice wined through the speaker, L quickly took it off speakerphone and pressed the phone to her ear. Kiwi's eyes lit up "The baby! It's there! Oh Mr. Stork came soon!" L laughed nervously. The other side of the line grew silent as well, aparently Glave had heard their son's responce as well. "Oh honey, ixnay on day aybay nay." L had never known pig latin, but Glave got the hint, L put it back on the speaker phone hoping her husband was as clever as he usualy was.
"Oh, no, one secound. This.. isn't the right one. Nope, the wristband says so right here, this is clearly the Mimmel's baby, not ours. I'm afraid your going to have to return him Mr. Stork. Yes I'm sorry, no tip for you. Shoo now! Off you go!" What sounded like the rustle of sheets being tossed about drifted through the speaker and Kiwi groaned. "If they used jackjaws instead of stupid storks they would make less mistakes in baby delivery." Kiwi grumbled and hung his head. L patted him on the back, "Well unfortunatly the Baby Delivery Stork Union has already monopolised the market in baby delivery, theres not much we can do. When the resistance comes you bet they'll be the first against the wall." L laughed over her obvious refrence and codedly suggested to Glave that he let it listen to some music as she offered Kiwi a helmet.
Little did they know, but a few feet away a rift appeared in space time and through it came one page of Encyclopedia Galactica. And on it read "And when the resistance came, the BDSU were the first against the wall." Indeed somewhere in Great Britain the mighty Douglas Adams was turning at a steady 2000RPM in his grave and elsewhere a terrilble teenage American menice was laughing.-----------------------------------
