Allure giggled at the reply. "I mean .. I've ate too much today!" She smirked, then turned to the side, waving a hand at her lower half. "But do these pants make me look... just kidding!"
"Ooh! Yes! I think we should head on that way, if you have the time to come along?" She brought the egg back into her arms, and she squished the handle of the frying pan plush between her fingers, making it emit a high pitched squeak. The egg started to jiggle.

Arrakis cheered when she heard the squeak ((hehe.. a squeaky toy... fuurrrr-fect)) and then danced a couple times around Allure. When the egg jiggled, the dragon couldn't help but pet it and then bounced a few strides away. Laughing, she bounded back and then walked beside Allure.
Then, the child started to hum. She had never heard a Mysterian's Song from inside the egg, but with Allure's, Arrakis could. Without a thought, the dragon hummed the Song in time with their walking.
It was a slow Song, with a beat that swayed gracefully and quietly. At first, there was some discordances; evidence of the Mysterian's "evil" past. Arrakis smoothed them out, making the Song pure and great.
--RP ended short, but we'll just assume Allure and Arrakis walked to the Shop and hung out there for a bit--

Holidays....? --child-- Arrakis walked into the house, her arms full of groceries. What was the human thinking? It was obvious the small dragon child could not see where she was going. Instead, Iambe floated about and chittered her directions to avoid disaster. Olive, on the other hand, was not so generous. she bounced around, one step in front of Arrakis's feet, and barked and yipped. "Away, Olive!" Arrakis finally screeched. Too bad for her, the moment she took a little bit of her mind off walking, she tripped. "Ahhh!"Apples, potatoes, and even a small turkey rolled across the floor. Olive took no time at all and snatched the skinned bird and ran off with it. Arrakis, figuring that the fruit and veggies were safe from the pooch, ran after the dog. Her skirts flew as she ran around the small house. Finally, she cornered Olive in the corner and pounced. The dog dropped the turkey and ran away, barking happily. Proud, she saved the poultry, Arrakis went back to her fallen groceries at the same time Elf walked into the room. "What in the world is going on here!?" Elf yelled. Before her were many little dragons nibbling on apples, bananas, and celery; not to mention a dog named Olive gnawing on a potato. All the dragons, the child included looked up to the human with innocent looks. Only one spoke, however, "They did it! They conspired against me to get the fod.... but... I saved the turkey!" With that said, Arrakis held up the turkey, with teeth marks and slobber all over it. Trying not to laugh and keep a stern face, Elf scowled down at the child, "No excu...." she failed. The human put down her groceries and took the mutilated turkey. "It's okay Arrakis," Elf went back and patted the child on the head. "We'll salvage what we can, it will still be good!"So, during the making of the food (luckily there was extra fruit/veggies/potatoes) Arrakis got her lesson in Holidays. She found out the meaning of Thanksgiving, the historical -as taught in public school- value, and also about Halloween (they didn't have a chance to discuss this holiday before hand. She learned a little from Allure and at the shop). Elf dropped some hints about Christmas, but nothing too special. The greatest lesson Arrakis learned that morning, before others arrived for the feat and party: Turkey is GOOD!

Christmas Secret Santa --child-- There was knocking at the front door. As usual, Arrakis noted but ignored it, humming slightly as she hun ornaments on the Christmas tree. When the second knock came, the dragon child paused and stopped her humming. Whoever it was knew that she didn't answer anything the first time. Why? Sort of in a way to test the other person, weigh how important it was they had to offer. A third knocking could be heard, and now the child was convinced! She set down the ornament she had prepared and slowly walked to the door. Arrakis rarely looked out the door, for by the time she got there no one was there. This time was no exception. However, something lay smack in the middle of the threshold. Arrakis stared at it, almost scared. Was it a bomb? A 'scent' of a familiar Song drifted in the air, but the dragon was still wary. "ELLLLLLF!" She screamed, her voice echoing through the house. Afraid something might be wrong, Elf jumped to attention. Unfortunately, she was making cookies and had flinched at Arrakis's demand. The cookies flew everywhere and the woman went down. Her smashing to the ground and the pan falling on her face and then slamming the ground could be heard. Some cookie crumbs and dough fell on her face and in her hair. Arrakis heard the commotion and couldn't help but giggle even in her possible possible predicament. When Elf cam around the corner and the child saw all the cookie debris she could help but cracking up in uncontrolable laughter. Cursing under her breath, Elf glared at the child, "What did you need?"Somehow, Arrakis controlled her laughter and pointed at the purple box, "What is it?"Elf excused herself past the dragon and knelt by the box. She looked at the tag, "It's a Secret Santa present from Hateya...you screamed because of this!?"Blushing only slightly and squeezing past Elf to grab the present, Arrakis shrugged, "I didn't know what it was! It could have been a bomb!"Grumbling, Elf turned and went to go clean up her mess and continue baking. Meanwhile, Arrakis hugged the present and went to stick it under the Christmas tree.

Happy New Years, Fellow Mysterians! --child-- ((Jan. 2 -- was RPed in an AIM chatroom))Arrakis tried the door to the shop one last time! The poor dragon had been pounding on it all day and all night. It was a new year, and she had planned a new years party. Things went wrong, however; for Sian had locked the doors. Once she finally stepped into the Shop, Arrakis went about and set up the decorations. She only had two hours to prepare... not enough time!Lulu and her egg walked to the door. She placed down her bundled up egg on the floor and knocked as she tried to warm her hands. When the door moved open by its self she picked up her egg and walked it. "Hello? Who is here?" She quickly closed the door and sat in a chair, trying to warm both herself and her egg up.Sian sauntered downstairs in slippers and pajama's. She had heard some noise, and had decided to check out what it was. So as sneakily as she could she crept pass Meru's room and down the stairs, just to greet Lulu and Arrakis. "What the heck are you guys doing here?" She asked as she found her way to the blanket on the couch. Sitting down she huddled up and then started to look at the bandages on her hand. "I'm hungry"Bete Noire busted her way through the shoppe doors, completely decked out in New Years gear. Her red sashes were adorned with silver decorations and sparkily objects, she had a pointed silver hat that was completely smothered in multicolored glitter. She dusted her hands together in front of her, smiling at the others. Her lips seemed to be stained blue from indulging herself in the massive amounts of muffins that Allure had been baking for her. She also shivered a little bit, getting the rest of the snow, that had just been starting to fall outside, off of her. With a quick wink in the direction of the crowd that was beginning to form, she RAN towards the kitchen, to see if Sian had been making any of her muffins. She HAD to compare them to the ones Allure was making.Allure came in, holding the bundle of the twins on her stomach. She was panting because she chased Bete Noire all the way here from her home, she decided a nice walk would perhaps calm the little girl down, but instead today it made her even more hyper. She came to a little table and set the two eggs down with a tired sigh, as she wiped a hand across her brow. "Ugh .. that little Noire is a hyperactive little one, isn't she?" She gave a sad smile to the others, and waved her hand. "Happy Early New Years everyone!" Apoth walked into the shop with an egg under his arm. There was a silver party hat on the egg and a gold on Apoth's head. "Happy New Years." He said to everyone as her made his way to the couch. "This place looks nice." He placed the dressed up egg on the couch and then turned his head to Allure who was breathing heavy. "Long walk?" He asked. "Looks like Bete Noire is not tried." Arrakis was putting up the last of the decorations. When she saw Lulu, she smiled, "Welcome, Lulu! I hope your trip was uneventful!" The child turned her gaze to Sian and put her hands daintily on her hips in mock annoyance. "I okay-ed this with you last week, Sian.... I was hoping you didn't forget...." She sighed and went back to work. Noire ran in just as the last thing was hanging. Arrakis grinned, remembering the night the werewolf had hatched. Allure then entered, panting. Hiding her smile, Arrakis tossed a pillow at the human, for her to 'rest on'. Finally, Apoth came in. The dragon child strode to the egg with the man and poked the hat lightly, "How cuuuuute! Reminds me of the frying pans and clothes Allure puts on her eggs!" She turned and stuck her tongue out at Allure.Lulu smiled at everyone and tried to say hello as well. She was having a hard time keeping with all that came. She liked everyone, but did they really have to all come in at once? She got a little dizzy at the thought. But then her egg wiggled and it made her smile. This egg was heavy, and needed to be taken everywhere, but it was worth it "that is a cute idea to dress up your egg" she nodded "Is there an extra party hat someplace that I can put on my eggy?"Sian pointed to a cupboard where everything Meru had bought for thing had been put. She had indeed forgotten that Arrakis had come to her earlier to arrange this, but it seemed so long ago. She rolled over in her blankets and then felt silly by being in her PJ's as everyone came in. Waving to everyone and shouting out hello's was really all that she could manage right now before sinking down further into the blanket."Ah .. " She smiled and started to remove her fluffy black jacket that was dusted with snow, she nodded at Apoth. "Yes .. quite a long walk, when you're attempting to keep up with that little werewolf girl that seems to be completely loaded with sugar .. Argh. I didn't realize it would be such a bad idea until now .." She smiled and took the pillow that Arrakis gave her and grinned thankfully. "Thanks .. I really need this ..." She took it, and sat herself on a chair, placing the pillow behind her head. Apoth grinned at how Allure had to keep up with her werewolf girl. "I hope my Jack is not as hyper." He started to say. "Or he is going to be a real handful." Apoth laughed and then fiddled with his egg's hat. "Do you need any help?" Apoth asked as he got up and went to the Dragon girl.Arrakis smiled broadly then ran to the kitchen. It was a good thing she had stashed the snacks and drinks when she had made the arrangements with Sian -if not, she may not have had them at all!- The dragon scurried around and gathered everything... sparkling wine (non-alcoholic) in the fridgerator; chips and cookies in the cuphoards -sp?-, and finally glasses and plates. With her arms full, she walked back and passed out the plastic-mock-wine glasses and plates. That done, she poured out the sparkling equally. She raised her glass, "A toast, then?"Lulu nodded to the toast and carefully put her egg down next to her on the couch "yes, let us toast to good health and happiness" she smiled as she raised her glass. She smiled at everyone, seeming to become a little less timid then she was when she first came in. Sian decided that it was time to change and stop being a boob. Quickly she ran upstairs to change and re-do the dressing on her hand. Her hand was somewhat of a discusting mess. All of the glass hadn't been picked out and her hand was now becoming infected. Slightly gagging she started a quickand small to get the rest out and to clean her hand up a bit. She got through the spell fine with no presence of whatever it had been so she smiled. Then ran back downstairs to hug everyone then to make some muffins."A toast?" Allure tilted her head to the side and went to take one of the glasses. It had been a few minutes since she last put her eyes on Bete Noire, and she knew deep down that this was definately going to result in something not so good ... but eh .. she would decide to worry about it later .. She took the glass and held it into the air with a nod. "I think a toast is a wonderful idea, Arra..!" She grinned. Apoth simled and took a glass also. He looked back at his egg because he did not want anything to happen to it. "What are we toasting to?" He asked. "To Health and Happiness." Ask he raised his glass he noticed his egg start to slide off the couch when Sain moved. "Noo!" He yelled as he went to stop the egg. He picked the eggu up and held it in his free hand. "Ready?" He asked.Hateya poked her head into the shop when she heard muffled voices as she walked by. "Hello...?" she asked, eyes scanning around for the source of the voices.Arrakis clinked glasses with everyone as the toasts were made. She also made her own: "To the new year! May it bring joy and fun times to us all!" She was slightly unsure if everyone was done toasting and so waited a bit longer. Sian left, for unknown reasons, so she waited a moment longer. Finally, she gave up and hoped all was well, and took a long sip from her glass. Her sparkling wine was gone, and then she heard Hateya. She smiled broadly, but still didn't get up, She waved emphatically and motioned to the harpy, "Hateya!!! Come in here and eat, drink, be merry with this celebration of the new year!"Lulu smiled at all her new friends. In the back of her mind she just remember that she forgot something "********!" she said under her breath and leaned back after the toast was done. "Song is going to kill me" she sighed and patted her egg, who was moving more than normal, and then there was a crack! "Ummm, I think my eggs hatching" she almost whispered with big eyes.Sian heard the sound of an egg cracking and she popped into the living room where everyone else was. Looking over Lulu's shoulder she saw the egg. "Looks like we are going to need towels." Sian popped back into the kitchen for a second and grabbed some then picked up the egg and places it ontop of a towel and onto Lulu's tummy. " I haven't seen one of these hatch in awhile..."Ooo a hatching!?" Allure cupped her hands together in front of her, strategically holding that glass between them, then she bounded her way over to Lulu, giving her a grin. What a great time! It seems everywhere I go there are hatchings .. We're all going to have a great big huge MYSTERIAN FAMILY! Woo! Happppy New Year!" She perhaps took a few sips of the drink that Arra had given her, but didn't know her's was non alcoholic. Apoth saw the egg hatching and looked at his Jack. "I think Jack is shy." He said and he brought his egg clsoer to himself. "I wounder what's going to come out." He said and everyone looked at the egg. "Are they really messy when they hatch?" He questioned and looked at Jack agian. " I hope Jack does not make to much of a mess." Looking around for towels he saw one and ran to get it. "Here's a towel." He said as he slid on some glitter on the floor. "Ahh!" almost falling down he caught himself and gave Lulu the towel.Hateya grinned and padded into the store, and peered at the egg as she got closer. "A hatching, huh? Wonder what's in it..." she trailed off, and continued looking around. Her eyes widened and she muttered something under her breath as she caught sight of the clock. "Arrgh! They're gonna kill meeee~~" she wailed as she raced out of the door. "Sorry! Have to go!"Arrakis set down her glass and then clustered in front of the egg by Hateya, "So it is about to hatch?" She stuck her tongue out at Allure over her shoulder, "Allure, dear, the 'wine' is non-alcoholic.... but you can go about actin drunk, we won't mind... it might be entertaining!" When Hateya left, the dragon frowned. With a growl, she hopped up and ran after, "No one is going to kill my harpy!" She bowed to the group and smiled, "Happy New Year, all! Sorry, but I am going to go chase after Hateya and make sure no one mystericides (like homicide) her. I hope the hatching goes without a problem!" That said, the dragon ran out the door. She called one last time at the door, and then quietly shut it.

A Gift from Mysteria --child-- Note: The familiar was the prize for participating in the search for Sian October 2005
The holidays were closing, but Elf still had her Christmas decorations up. Snow still was on the ground outside, and if Arrakis didn't know any better, she'd probably say it was cold as well.
It was nighttime, and Arrakis, never one to sleep much at night, was strolling around in the snow in the spacious backyard. She had built her "igloo-fortress" the other day, but for some reason it didn't hold her appeal tonight. The stars shown brightly, and the dragon decided it was perfect for stargazing.
Making her way through the snow, Arrakis went to the cherry tree. She put her cloak on the ground and then reclined to look at the stars through the bare branches of the trees. Her own constellation, Draco, was blotted out -which made no sense because she had JUST seen it!
"Hey! Is anyone up there!?" She called out urgently, and pretty quietly as well.
Something obviously stirred, and then two jade orbs appeared, staring intently down at the child.
Arrakis gasped, for the instant the orbs appeared, a soothing Song entered her mind. Instantly, she knew this -thing- had to be from Mysteria.... but how did it get here? Licking her lips, the child whistled the Song.
Almost immediately, the -thing- fell from the tree.... and landed delicately on four feet. So close, Arrakis could see that it was golden, having jade eyes with a twisted horn.... and appeared almost cat-like.
"Well, you sure are a sight, you know!" Arrakis giggled, scratching the creature behind ones of its large ears.
It purred slightly, more with feeling in the dragon's mind. After awhile, the creature walked and crawled up in Arrakis's lap... where they sat and stargazed together.
By the time the night was giving way to the rising sun, Arrakis knew the creature's name, for it tickled the back of her mind: Gianfar.

The Music Hunt Begins --child-- Arrakis walked into the room, her arms stacked past her head with books. It was a miracle she hadn't dropped them yet... actually, she had earlier, and it took her about two hours to stacked them up again! The dragon had been practicing her Songs and had trained little Iambe to open doors. So at the sound of a Note, the little water dragon had opened the front door for Arrakis. Elf was sitting at the kitchen counter when she heard the door. She peeked over, some pocky sticking out of her mouth. All she saw was books with little Arrakis-legs sticking out underneath, "Arrakis, what did you do!?" Arrakis peaked around the books, "A little assistance would be appreciated, you know!"Chuckling, the woman got off her stool and went to Arrakis. She took the majority of the books and stepped back, "Lead the way, oh gracious one!" Sticking her tongue out at her guardian, Arrakis walked to her room. Once there, she set her books on her bed. Her bookshelf was already stuffed to the max, so she did some re-arranging... mostly stacking books in piles on the floor. That done, the dragon child took the books from her bed and arranged them on the shelf. She went to Elf and took those books as well. Finally, she flopped on the bed, staring at her lovely collection. Elf joined the child on the bed and stared at the books. She should have been paying more attention! When did Arrakis get all this... and who was paying for it? The woman knew the answer to that.... "What are all these new books for, Arrakis?" Without sitting up, the dragon child looked over and up at Elf. She smiled toothfully, "Well, since my power lies in Songs, I thought I'd do some research in music around the world. I want to see if the different styles can affect what I can do and stuff. First I'll read these, then I'll go get the music!"Frowning, Elf considered how much more money would be spent... "You do that... I'll buy you an iPod, though, and you can download the music. That way you can search through them, find what you like, and have a bunch of music in one... and maybe I can save some money." Arrakis grinned happily and jumped up, "Oh, thank you!!! I should go buy a book on-"The woman lunged forward, "That'll be okay! The iPod comes with instructions... and anything else I will help you with, or find a friend to! No need wasting precious money...." she giggled nervously. The dragon chuckled, "You're probably right! I'll start with some music you have anyways.... give you some time." Arrakis winked and then scurried over and grabbed a book on musicology. She walked to the living room and curled up on the couch and opened her book. It was time to get started!
