Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vemon decided that she need a bit of fresh air. She walked outside and had a seat on a bench. She thought " Tomorrow I begin my journey. This time around there won't anyone to stop me. "Now that she was free of Chazz, she was going to find Sol and tell him about what had happened. " I just hope that he still has feeling and hasn't moved on yet."

The operation had been a success. Rock slowly awaken from his dream like state. He looked around the room and saw that Lotus Blossum was the only one in the room with him. Rock smiled " I'll thank him once he's awake. At least they didn't get Viper to operate on me. I wonder where is everyone?"

Rock said " I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm glad you were able to calm him down. I know he means well but I hate it when Terry worries. Something always seems to happen when he worries." Rock sighs " Yea, I could go for a cheeseburger."

Rock said " I'll have Ketchup, Mustard, Onions and pickle slice on it. No fries with gravy. Thanks"

Dee smiled and said, "Okay. I will be right back. Oh, you should stay in bed, just in case Dr. Blossom wakes up and finds you missing. I get the feeling he is just the type to worry needlessly, just like your father Terry tends to do all the time."

Dee was a great cook, especially when it came to the basic cheeseburger. She forgot to ask what animal, but then decided, cow is likely best. She knew that Shark or Stegosaurus, though available to her, due to the operation, strong meats might not be the best. After all, Rock wanted something tasty, not just good for him. She could understand that.

She thought of some of the previous events and got into a daydream. She managed to cook the burger and was able to form it even better than usual because of it. She brought it to Rock and said, "Here you are, son. I forgot to ask you what meat you wanted, so I made you a beef made cheeseburger. They had shark and stegosaurus, but I figured, taste is more of what you were after. Plus it will fill you up once you are finished. I had one myself while cooking yours."

Flipping the drain and letting the tub fill, Lotus leaned back and rested his head against the wall and took a long slow breathe. "Awww, I wish I had some my bath oils but I am too lazy to summon a bottle." He looked over at wall with his olive eyes glimmering while stared blankly. "Such an odd world, nothing like back home." Running a hand through his hair he turned off the water and relaxed.

A year has passed. It is Christmas Eve. Sangcun and Ash Crimson have been married for a full year now. Let us see how well their marriage is going.

Sen Aqua, the lady of the seas had made her way to the lounge with her husband Demyx Lord of the Seas in her best wintry gown yet. She had it hand delivered from Andy in October and was surprised that Rock Howard had made it.

The latest was that Rock had gone into the fashion industry after graduating from Southtown Finishing School. While fighting still remained a higher priority in Rock's life, he wanted to do something else than making fighting his entire life.

Terry and Geese the two dads that Rock would ever consider his parents, Terry more than Geese, had spent their entire young lives at war with each other. It made Rock wonder how he survived that ordeal, not that he was going to make a bigger deal out of that piece of old news.

Sen Aqua wore the gown with great pride that somebody young made something so glittery and so fancy. Demyx was dressed in not so fancy of an outfit. He insisted on going casual this year.

She and Demy sat down at their usual table and ordered a water from the bar.

Dee wasn't going to let Rock get away with not helping her with the cooking this year he was helping. She knew that Terry had not yet mastered the cooking of the meals all he was good at was setting the places.

So, after getting her dress on, not realizing that someone pulled a gender-bender prank on her, and after she styled her hair in the bathroom, she knocked on Rock's bedroom door, "Up and at 'em Rock! You and I are doing the cooking today. Come on, if you don't you'll be dealing with an upset Iori Yagami later! Iori's not cooking this year and neither is Kyo. Its you and I. Not even Mai Shiranui or the saiyans have agreed to cook. You know that Terry isn't capable of it, so... lets get a move on! If you want to sleep during the party, then fine, but not now."


Another thing Dee hadn't realized was that her voice sounded like Rock's from the prank.

(Dante pulled the prank, by the way, in case you were all wondering who it was. It wears off after the celebration is over.)
