Welcome to Gaia! ::

"And to think... she wants to get us a sister..." Destin scowled after gazing upon the last post of the front page.

"OH GOODY!! I always wanted a sister!!" giggled Matrea while clapping his paws together.

Destin blinked at his younger brother oddly. "That's... odd, considering you're only in your second stage... but alright...?"

"Hey think of it this way, little bros!" came Ryjah's voice from somewhere behind them. "A lil' sis will add variety to our humble abode!" he grinned.

"We already have a variety..." Destin replied with an odd quirk in his brow.

"Ah, yes!" he chuckled then rolled himself lazilly upon his back. "But, I don't see tiny tot over there bringin' home hoards of girls..." he mentioned, gesturing a paw to Matrea. "or any of his guy buddies, for that matter..." he added with a wicked, yet playful grin, making the other two fall silent in either confusion or traumetization.

Matrea bounded about as his usual self, giggling as he shouted "VALENTINES DAY IS SOON!!"

Sonstine, who didn't seem to thrilled (also as usual) just cut him a soft stare of doom. Her Green eyes flashing towards the tye-dyed ball of fluff she knew as a brother. "Yeah so?"

"Just thought I'd announce it...." he mumbled softly and lowered his ears softly back against his head.

"Well... What's so special about Valentines day? It's all.. Pink...... and Frilly....." she huffed with a snarl of distaste. It was obvious she didn't like things Pink and Frilly.

"I like Pink...." came an almost whisper from Matrea.

"Sonstine...?" asked the more laid back (also flirty) being of the Dreams. "Has anyone ever told you what the meaning behind Valentines Day is?"

"Nope!" Sonstine gave a prideful grin.

Ryjah gave a grin and patted the ground beneath his paw. "Then park your bottom, sista... I'm going to explain to you what Valentines day is all about...."

Destin rolled his eyes to this. "Oh no... Here he goes again..." It would seem as if Ryjah liked Valentine's Day better than any holiday for one reason or another.

Clearing his throat, Ryjah began. "Valentines day is a day of love and friendship... But mostly love... You exchange gifts from your heart to someone you really truly care for..."

Sonstine just gave him a blank stare that looked as if she were plotting Ryjah's death.

"I think you either pissed her off, or blew a gasget in her brain..." whispered Coryne to Ryjah, though he was thinking the first would be more believable.

Ryjah just ignored Coryne for the moment and smiled. "Sonni... Do you know what love is?"

Her glare deepened and she looked as if she could snarl. Her hair stood softly on end and her lips were curled just enough to expose her canines to him.

"By her glare, I would hope you'll assume her answer to be a yes..." spoke Destin hopefully.

Giving a grin, Ryjah seemed to be ignoring everyone else, but Sonstine. "I'll take that as a no..."

Coryne leaned forward and whispered quietly this time into Destin's ear. "I sometimes worry about our brother...." Destin gave a soft nod in agreement.

"Love is something you feel within your heart... its a feeling of strong liking towards someone else..."

"Wow..." Matrea snickered softly as he talked quietly. "Ryjah must love everybody then..." More snickers soon followed, but not all of them were from Matrea.

"As a great poet once put it... Love is like Oxygen... Love is a many splendered thing... Love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!..."

Gena, who had trotted in by this time, scowled and gave her tiny wings a flutter. "That wasn't a great poet, you dolt... That was an actor on a movie about prostetutes!"

"Hey! I happened to like Moulin Rouge!" Matrea sniffled softly and wiped a single tear from his eyes with the tip of his tail. "It's so sad at the end..."

Coryne nodded a little bit towards Matrea. "I agree!"

"I swear... I live with losers...." Gena had muttered ina far too soft manner.

Ryjah continued to ignore the rest. "So do you understand it a little more?"

Sonni only glared at him and gave a soft flick of her tail in response. ".......I hate you......."

"Well..." muttered Destin from the opposite end of the room. "That was progressive..."

Ryjah's eyes soon get teary and he soon found himself squishing Sonstine into a tight hug. "I love you too, Sis!!"

"Hi!!" came the always overjoyed voice of Matrea. He was the first to wake on most mornings and he seemed to never wake up grouchy. "I'm Matrea! Who are you?"

The sound of different snores and mumbles could be heard behind him somewhere.

Matrea gave a giggle and moved out of the way. "You can come in, if you want!" He held the door open for her and let his tail flick back and forth almost uncontrolably.

A pair of ear muffs shlumped around Matrea and Sandie's ears. "It's time they woke up anyways... It's nearly noon..." With a soft giggle, the dream fluttered in a hover above the ground as she held up a fog horn and put on a pair of ear muffs.

Matrea clasped his paws down over his ear muffs with a giggle, sending a wink to Sandie in hopes she'd follow suit.

Gena blared the fog horn in the room, making the rest jump into the air as they woke up. Kylin's furless form being one of them.

"I'm up! I'm up!!" she shouted and darted into the kitchen as if on command to start on breakfast.

The rest of the dreams just snarled at Gena and attempted to roll back over and go back to sleep.

Gena snickered and removed her ear muffs. "The rest'll wake when they smell food. I'll let her know you're here..."

As Gena blinked in confusion, she shrugged and turned towards the other room instead as Kylin looked down to the sand colored dream with a quirked brow. "Hello, Sandie... What's with the muffs? Still hoping for snow too?" she giggled warmly and readied some pancake batter.

Kylin gave a confused blink at that and tilted her head as she readied the pan next. "Then why do you have ear muffs on?" She was that dense about mornings, it seems.

She then smiled and giggled a bit. "How long has it been since you've been to Castaway's HQ? There's a lot of dreams floating around there sometimes..."

"How is she, by the way?" She poured some pancake batter into the pans and readied a plate. "I haven't seen Jayde in a long while... Is she coming to get you later? You know you're welcome to stop by at any time, our door is always open, if you haven't noticed already!" She giggled and took a breath. "I'm sorry... Want me to talk slower?" She seemed to have noticed that she was asking fifty million questions at once without waiting or giving her enough time to answer.
