Welcome to Gaia! ::

She felt as if she should take notes, there was so much, though the general idea wasn't that hard to grasp. Sugar = good, protein = bad. Which wouldn't be too hard to meet.

A faint scratching sound had her looking down at her son, who was indeed taking notes on everything. His little notebook was poised in one hand as he scribbled down the information the Doc rattled off.

Gage knew that Ronnie was prone to scatter-brained habits and decided that some extra notes wouldn't hurt.

"I think I got it." She nodded in the affirmation. "I promise to take really good care of him."

Shad panted as he dashed into the Lab, Kluster on his back piggy-back style. "Doc! I'm here!" He caught his breath for a moment, letting Kluster slide to the floor, as he regained his composture. "You said you wanted to see us?"

"Daddy's friends at work are betting that you made me a plasma cannon." Kluster pipped in with a smile.

Shad just sighed.

Kluster turned to Shad for a moment. "Can I, dad? Can I?" He asked with a child-like flair to his words.

Shadric simply grinned and gave a nod to Kluster who burst into a bright smile.

The Kybernetic turned back to the Doc and smiled again. "Yay! I get to grow up!"

Kluster's eagerness to grow up seemed dampened for a moment as he digested Doc's words. He didn't know the process would involve him being shut-down. He looked at his dad with a cautious face, hoping for some reassurance.

Shad placed a hand on Kluster's head and ruffled his head a bit. "It'll be okay, kiddo. I'll be right here the whole time and don't worry. I doubt Doc would do this if he wasn't sure of the outcome."

Kluster gulped, but felt a bit better on the inside. He willed his legs to keep walking as the two of them followed the Doctor.

Kluster nodded as Shad picked him up under the arms and set the Kybernetic down onto the cot. He gave a quick look around once more, exhaling slowly as he lied back. His eyes stared at the ceiling for a moment before he closed them, ready for whatever odd sensations might come from being briefly shut down. "Okay, I'm ready."

Shad watched the whole scene silently as the odd phrase: "Drama Llama" crept into his mind. He kept an eye out as to what was going on, though his thoughts wondered if all of Kluster's growth phases were going to be this dramatic.

Shad just stared at what Kluster's new framework. He was definatly expecting Kluster to look older, but this was definatly beyond what he was expecting. His Kybernetic was aboyt chest height now and, now that he thought about it, Kluster seemed to look a lot like he did when he was around that "age"; minus the ponytail in the hair and the metal bits covering parts of his body.

Shad just continued to stare, at a loss for words at the moment.

Kluster rubbed one of his eyes as if he'd just woken up from sleeping and turned over to his dad. "Oi, dad, your zoning out again." He scooted off the table and walked over to Shad, snapping a few times in front of his dad's face. He smiled a bit as his dad was shaken back into reality. "Welcome back to Gaia, dad."

"Oh," Shad slightly blushed. She smiled to Kluster befor turning to Doc and nodded. "I guess we'll be off, then. Come on, Kluster." He took the Kybernetik's hand and led him out of the building. What with growing up, Kluster would be needed some new clothes.

Ronnie walked down the sidewalk toward the lab. It was a gorgeous day out and she was excited for what Doc had to give her. Jack was tucked safely inside her purse and the other kids were back home with Rias packing, so she was free for the day.

She entered the lab and called out for the Doctor, "Hello? Doctor Albert? It's Veronica Orcot I got your call."

Ronnie looked confused for a moment, but followed him back into his lab. She was excited and nervous at the same time and wondered what would happen next.

Gently, she lifted the little microchip out of her purse and cupped it in her hand. This very well could be one of the weirdest things that'd ever happened to her. Which was kind of cool actually.
