Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eric smiles "Oh yes, I remember the nice young couple that took care of the twins. Their baby came, how nice. I'd love to see it."

((How about this instead: There is a rare disease that is killing off angels. Sonja and the twins find out their mission in life is to find a relative of Sonja's that is a scientist but is missing or hiding. That relative has a secret formula that when mixed with the rare blood type of the twins can make a cure for this disease. Eric's mission will be to help Sonja and the twins find the clues to the relative and formula. That way Eric has a reason to stay on Earth and be with Sonja.))

Eric says "I've not played hide and seek before. Okay I will play." He follows Sonja to the other room where the others are. He puts his wings away.

"Eric!" the twins say as they go to greet him. "Hello Aki and Yuki. Can I play?"

"Pleased to meet you. Congratulations on your new baby." Says Eric.

Lissa says "Nice to meet you."

Aki and Yuki say "We were just learning to play hide and seek.."

Eric says "it is my first time too."

The twins start counting "One, two, three ...."

Eric follows Sonja "We hide?"

Eric stood in the dark closet feeling kind of awkward but it was kind of fun too. He could not remember the last time he had played a game. He stood there quietly, listening to the twins count.

"Ten...Eleven...Twelve...."

Lissa whispers to Stephan "You are on your own buddy...I am going to hide!" she says with a wink. She tip toes down the hall to a room with long thick velvet curtains and hides behind them.

"Fifteen...Sixteen...Seventeen...."

((Never said what the kids were suppose to count up to?))

The twins kept counting until they reached one hundred. "Ninety-eight...Ninety-nine...One Hundred! Here we come!"

They did not know where to go in the house so they just started looking in the room they were in and then would go room by room. "Not here!, Not here. Hmm...next room!" The twins were excited and went to the next room peeking in closets and behind furniture....

The closet was a little cramped with two people and the stuff inside. Eric tried not to hit his head on the shelf or crush Sonja. He for the first time was having fun doing a game. It was new and exciting for him since it had been hundreds of years since he was a child and he never played hide and seek as a child. Sonja said you could play in the clouds and he thought that it might be fun to try. He could hear the twins looking in the next room.

The twins finished the room they were in and went to their room. They looked around in their closet. "Not here." Their bathroom, "Not here." Their toy chest, "Not here. Oh something is different!" They looked under the bed. "Stephan! We found Stephan!!!"

Lissa could hear the twins yelling. She snickers to herself. "Beat Stephan." she said softly as she was proud that her hiding place was better than his.

The twins giggle at Stephan. "You were the first we found." They go to keep looking. They go to the next room and listen to see if they can hear anything. Since they have neko ears, they are more sensitive to noise. They look through the room but nothing so they go to the next room.

Eric can tell that the twins entered the room they were in. He tries to stand still but shifts slightly and a piece of clothing falls to the floor. "Oops." he whispers.

The twins hear something in the closet and go to investigate. They open the door and find Sonja and Eric. "We found you! We found you both!" The twins were very pleased with themselves.

Eric laughs "You got me and Sonja."

Lissa smiles as she had the best hiding place, she was not found yet.
