Komi smiled and placed the certificates in a shoe box under her bed. It was going to be hard work she knew.  Squall, her little lion.  And Vincent. Well, she hadn't meant to come home with more than one but how could she pick between the two? They'd both called to something in her she thought she'd never had. She had often commented to her friends that children annoyed her, and now here she was with two of her own. "...Try not to grow up to fast okay? I have problems keeping up with my life already." The two bubbles simply floated in their tank.

STAIR SAFTEY...
Komi placed the bubbles in the small wading pool.
"Stay there while I clean the tank okay?" Both just sat there, the new mother foolishly took this for assent and set about cleaning out the large tank.
She'd managed to wipe at least half the glass off when she noticed that the red bubble was missing.
"Vincent?" She whirled, looking for the smaller bubble.
"Vincent! Squall where's your brother?!" The older bubble was no where to be found either, and Komi fought the rising panic as her searching eyes found a drying trail of water.
"Oh no..." Dropping her cleaning rag she ran, following the tail of water on the hardwood floor. She spotted them at the top of the stairs.
"Squall! Vincent!" Of course, socks on hardwood floors are never a good thing.
There was much self censoring and the bubbles at the top of the stairs had the grace to shudder as they were picked up and set gently but firmly in the pool.
"Stay." The word held as much venom as an irate mother could put into it; And both bubbles managed to look repentant as thier mother finished cleaning and refilling the tank, trying to ignore the bruises on her shins, knees and elbows.
She felt something bump against her leg and looked down, both bubbles were waiting by her feet, slowly oozing water.
"Oh, no, Don't cry. It's okay." She knelt down pulling them into her arms.
"It's okay, I'm not mad anymore." She felt them shudder and the oozing increased.
"It's okay sweetlings, really. You just scared me." After finally managing to calm them down she gave each of them a pat before putting them back in the tank.
"And remember, stairs are bad when not gone down properly." The bubbles bobbed in agreement.

CAFFIENE IS GOD
Komi looked blearily at the coffee machine...It wasn't working...WHY wasn't it working? A bubble nudged her ankle.
"Wassat?" She looked down. Squall was rolling around.
"Nyah?" The Bubble bumped her ankle again, then rolled to the cabinet under the sink, bouncing a little.
"...water?" The black bubble bounced emphatically, it's red highlights gleaming. Komi shuffled over to the sink, filled her mug with water, then dribbled it carefully over the young Myrid. The bubble remained still, slightly shocked as she shuffled back over to stare at the coffee maker again.
It still wasn't working.

OH MRS. PEACOCK?
The kitchen was a Disaster, the living room was a Wreck, and she was almost afraid to see what the two had done to her library. Never again would she give them chocolate-chocolate milk.
The doorbell rang.
The overworked brunette opened the door to find a clean-shaven young man standing there in a suit with a pamphlet.
"Good afternoon, have you ever given any thought to the Kingdom of Heaven?" Komi stared at the man standing at her door.
"What?"
"Repent, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." A crash echoed throughout the house and Komi winced.
"You ain't just whistling dixie."
"Armageddon is almost upon us!" A thump from the basement informed her that they were now moving on to her Laundry appliances.
"I've got news for you, it's already here." A low swushing noise caught her attention. Was that...water? It sounded like river rapids...she turned to see water creeping along her floor. She yelped and went to go see just what the hell was going on and felt a hand wrap around her arm.
"But your soul is in danger!" Whirling the young mother bared her teeth at the young man.
"My HOUSE is in danger you beatnik!" A swift yank of an arm and a slammed door removed the pest, but it didn't remove the flooding.

HAPPY SAD
Komi sat on her porch, making faces as she watched all the happy couples strolling through Towns.
"Gag. So much mush..." She sighed and took a swig of her rootbeer before going back to people watching.
"Happy Singles Awareness Day..." She heard the screen door swing open before something wet bumped up against her back.
"Mm?" There were Squall and Vincent, covered top to bottom in red paint.
"Wha-! How on Gaia did you-" She trailed off as she looked at what had been painstakingly drawn all across her hardwood floor. A slightly misshapen heart and three letters. KSV. Even as she dreaded the cleanup she felt herself grinning.
"Happy Valentines Day to you too."

DRINK YOUR G0DD@MN TEA.
Puling the small wheeled water tank behind her Komi walked up the path to the front door of a rather nice looking house, and rang the doorbell. A short rendition of "Wild Blue Yonder" chimed and her two bubbles bobbed excitedly. A rather short woman, obviously pregnant, wearing a pristine lab coat and sporting spectacles opened the door.
"Ah! Komi, we've missed you!" She ushed the young mother in helping her get the heavy tank over the steps.
"The Captain is out back..." Komi rolled her eyes.
"Tinkering with his plane again?" The older woman nodded smiling fondly.
"He really wants to have it done for when the baby's born." Komi grinned.
"Have you figured on a name yet?"
"No, but I was hoping-"
"WOMAN! FIX ME SOME TEA!" Komi made a 'stay' Gesture.
"Don't worry Sher, I'll get it." moving around the kitchen with the ease of familiarity the bubble adopter put the kettle on and got out the cinnimon teabags. Meanwhile Squall and Vincent were floating laps in their tank, drawing patterns with the smaller bubbles left in their wake.
"So, You said for a name?" The older woman opened her mouth, only to be cut off by a large figure stomping in the back door.
"Is my #$%@ tea ready yet?" He caught Komi's glare as her adopted sons immediatly began to spell out the curse word phonetically in their tank.
"Thanks EVER so." The Man shrugged flopping into his chair.
"Sorry. What are you females talking about anyway?" Komi grinned.
"I was asking what you two were planning on naming the baby." The man snorted pulling off his flight goggles.
"Cid of course."
"Dear, it might not be a boy." The pilot groaned.
"Sherrin, we've been over this the doctor said-" The woman snorted.
"The Doctor said it MIGHT be a boy, curled up tightly as it is the baby might be a girl." Komi rolled her eyes and poured everyone a mug of the sweet and spicy tea as the Father to be began to sputter indignantly.
"Markus." Blue eyes looked up at her from under a windblown mop of blonde hair.
"Shut up, and drink your #$%@ Tea."

KITTY WAS A FOX...HOUND
Komi hurried to the door as she heard the knock, Vincent and Squall had just gone down for thier naps, and she really didn't want them to-
"David?" The man outside her door smirked, cigarette dangling from his lips. the young woman frowned.
"I thought you quit." The man shrugged.
"I did." A smaller man with shoulder length hair pulled back into a messy ponytail snorted.
"And then he started again." Komi grinned.
"Hi Hal. Come in both of you." She held up a hand as the taller man tried to go in.
"That gets put out. I won't have you exposing the boys to second hand smoke just yet." Hal grinned and pushed up his glasses as David rolled his eyes and stomped the cigarette.
"You finally adopted? That wonderful!" The mother of two grinned. And pointed to the now two story tank in one wall, where her precious children floated.
"Yep. The black and red one is Vincent, the dark red and red one is Squall." Bustling about she offered her guests soda.The older man grunted disinterestedly his eyes scanning his surroundings. Hal was more enthusiastic eyes glowing as he popped the top of his can.
"They look like Boba bubbles!" Komi nearly choked on her moutain dew.
"Wha-?!" David sighed.
"Otacon." The scientist blushed.
"Ah...no offense meant." Komi sighed.
"None taken. You're still using codenames?" Hal nodded.
"It seems odd to call him anything but Snake really. I've been calling him that for so long it just feels more natural than David." Komi nodded sympathetically.
"It took me forever to start responding to anything but Cricket." Hal fiddled with his can, biting his lip nervously.
"Ahm...Cri-Kom...Cricket..." Komi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?" The scientist, fidgeted and squirmed.
"I..that is we... I mean Snake and I...ah..." The copy of Big Boss known as Solid Snake sighed in exasperation.
"We were wondering if you'd come to our wedding." Komi squealed and hugged both men as her bubbles were startled into wakefulness.
"Of course of course! BUT!" Hal looked at her nervously and David raised an eyebrow.
"I'm bringing the boys with me."

THE PR(EPOSTEROUS)OPOSAL
"Kitty." Komi yelped as a large hand fell on her shoulder. She whirled around to place herself between them and the bubbles bobbing happily in the shopping cart before she realized who it was.
"Ah...Cliff. You startled me." The blonde Clausian grinned as she relaxed looking around.
"Where's Mirage?" the blue eyed man groaned.
"I dunno! I just turned around and she was gone. Hey! I have an idea!" Komi hid a wince with a sickly smile. Cliff's ideas usually lead to trouble.
"Marry me!"
"...........I beg your pardon?" the tall man leaned forward, grinning ear to ear.
"Aw come on! you heard me."
"Cliff...One, you're already married. Two, you're not really my type. Three, you're proposing in the ceral aisle. Four, you don't love me "That way". Five-" She was scrambling to think of reasons now.
"You look nothing like my kids-" The blonde man raised an eyebrow.
"How can you tell? They're bubbles." Komi sniffed.
"A mother knows. Six, You snore...and Seven-" The young mother grinned triumphantly.
"If you married me you'd have to have sex with me, at least once." the look of horror on the clausian's face had Komi laughing so hard she couldn't breathe.
"What's going on here?" Komi looked up as a gorgeous honey blonde woamn walked up with a basket.
"Your husband just proposed to me." Mirage galred at the cringing man.
"Really Cliff! How could you be so insensetive!"
"Hey! It was a J-O-K-E!"
"Really! In the Ceral aisle no less!" Komi nodded her face schooled into a look of dejection.
"You'd think he'd at least have had the class to wait 'till I got to the Dairy section." Blue eyes widened as the man finally caught on.
"Heey! Quit teasing me! Anyway, it worked didn't it? I found my wife." Mirage rolled her eyes.
"Cliff...we're in a supermarket. You can see over the shelves."

ALONG CAME JONES.
Komikitty flopped into the Recliner in her library. Roselite had informed her that her bubble would be entering thier infant stages soon and she'd been doing her best to get the house ready.
The upstairs library had been converted into a nursery,
the stairs now had gates and the electrical outlets were covered.
Anything breakable had been moved to the downstairs cabinets....
"Uwaaahhh.....I need a "jones"...long...lean...lanky....mmmm" Closing her eyes she decided to indulge herself in daydreaming of her ideal man..
The Doorbell rang...

THINGS THAT YET MAY BE. PT 1
Cid swore as the Highwind rocked violently.
“Captain We’ve lost the starboard engine ” The blonde growled already bringing up auxiliaries to compensate for the dead weight.
“I can feel that you retard. What the hell CAUSED it?” Vincent ghosted on to the bridge.
“What’s going on chief?” Cid snarled wrenching the helm around as the back up engines whined, straining to keep them in the ******** if I know.” One of the crew members looked up from his monitor.
“Captain It appears an explosion at ground level hit us with an exceptionally large shockwave.” Vincent raised an eyebrow.
“That’s odd.” The gruff pilot snorted as he began the emergency landing cycle.
“You ain’t just whistlin’ dixie.”
&&&
Even the Ex Turk was impressed by the size of the crater.
“Sonuvabitch.” Cid kicked a rock down the edge, watching it roll into the sharp shadows, across the floor, then jumped as it hit something that moved.
“Holy s**t Vince I think something’s ALIVE down there ” Vincent frowned slightly and focused on the small figure at the bottom of the crater.
“No...no...it CAN’T be...” Cid blinked.
“Vin?” But the older man was already gone, sliding down the crater’s edge and running. The pilot followed after a moments hesitation, only to find Vincent holding a girl, probably in her early twenties as if she were made of glass.
“Oh gods I didn’t think it was possible, how did she-?” Cid felt his chest become tight, and tried to make a joke of it.
“Old girlfriend?” But Vince wasn’t playing.
“It’s my mother.”
“...What?”
&&&
Cid stared at the girl now occupying Vincent’s bed.
“How is that possible?” Blood red eyes closed as the dark haired man attempted to gather his thoughts.
“Ah...I was actually born in a place called Gaia.” He smiled fondly and the pilot almost inhaled his cigarette.
“I had three brothers, Squall, Luxord and Gannondorf.” Cid frowned. For some reason those names sounded familiar.
“We were adopted, all of us, by a woman calling herself Komikity. She was...I won’t say perfect, but she loved us. Very much. She encouraged me when I wanted to take up marksmanship, she paid for Gannon to go to Leadership camp, and she even learned to play poker so she could help Luxord become a card shark.” The ex turk sighed softly.
“It broke her heart when Squall wanted to leave and become a Marine. But she agreed. We all went to the train station to see him off, but...” Cid could feel the pain and anger swirl thick in the air.
“There was an explosion...it hit us all, and the next thing I knew I was standing in line for a ShinRa job application with double memories.” The gruff pilot swallowed eight questions, three jackass remarks and laid his hand on his friend’s shoulder letting only one word escape.
“M’sorry.”

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE...
Komi frowned, rooting through the covers.
"Hon, Where'd you put my book?" Her husband looked up from cleaning his weapon.
"What book?" The woman frowned, checking under her pillow.
"The book I left on my side of the bed." A derisive snort brought her attention back to her Signifigant other.
"If you mean that piece of literary trash disguising itself as a romance novel, I threw it away." Green eyes flashed as the brunette nearly threw herself across the bed to throttle her lover.
"YOU WHAT?!" Her husband returned to cleaning his weapon.
"It would have rotted your brain." Forcing herself to unclench her jaw the young woman clasped her hands together to keep from throwing something.
"I've been reading them for YEARS." His smile made her weak in the knees, but the words out of his mouth made her see red.
"Yes, well that explains quite a bit doesn't it?" She knew he was only teasing, but still!
"You are the most-"
"Gorgeous."
"-man I have EVER had the misfortune of-"
"Loving."
"And if you really DID-"
"Love you."
"...Wait, what?" His eyes laughed at her, but his smile was kind and soft.
"You're cute when your angry." So saying he pulled the supposedly trashed and Trashy novel from underneath him.
"I couldn't resist." Komi blushed then took the book and whacked him over the head with it.
"Jerk."

EUW.
Komi winced at the strange aftertaste from the pills. She hated medication, but she really had no choice, this cold had to GO! A sudden coughing fit broke into her train of thought, and a huge wad of phlegm flew up into her mouth.
Wide eyed she rushed to the sink and spit, watching the enormous olive green glob slowly sink down the drain.
"Oh gross."
"Euw." A watery voice agreed. Komi whirled to see Squall rolling around on the floor.
"Did you just TALK?!"

NEVER AGAIN
Komi pulled the box out fo her closet. The permenant marker declared that it contained "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL". Raising an eyebrow she popped the lid screaming as she saw what was inside.
The light reflected off the neon pink material and the young woman laughed as she recognized it. It was the disco outfit she'd worn for Halloween two years ago. Just remembering that night made her face burn.
"I can't believe I wore that."

GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE 2
"Lovey, are you there?" Komi growled as the voice floated through the bathroom door.
"May I come in?" She growled again, quieter. She didn't want his to see the monstrosity but she didn't want to be alone either.
"Hello love." She snarled as he tried to hug her and the costume foiled him. He smiled, trying to make her feel better.
"A Jack O' Lantern isn't so bad, you could have been stuck in a mini skirt." Her growl was more of a grumble. He smiled and tugged on her ponytail gently. She pouted at him looking at herself in the ridiculous outfit.
"That is the last time we draw costumes out of a hat."
(Just a little late Halloween thing.)

HOW WE MAKE FRIENDS...
Komi looked up from making dinner as the door slammed.
"Squall?" The tense silence roused her suspicions.
"Squall, come here." The small boy sidled into the kitchen, eyes fixed on the floor. His knees and elbows were scraped, his clothes were stained with mud, grass and...Was that BLOOD?
"What happened?!" Komi was around the counter in an instant, kneeling next to the stoic boy. Only the floor heard his mumbled reply.
"What?" The boy looked up and the woman's eyes went wide. The boy's left eye was shut, a dark bruise spreading around it. Komi scooped him up, ignoring his protests and sat him on the kitchen table, then went to the freezer to pull out an ice pack.
"Start explaining mister." Squall sighed and tried to organize his thoughts, it had been so scary...but first...
"Can Seifer come in?" He could tell his mother was surprised.
"Wha-? Why?"
" Cause he got hurt worser..." His mother was out of the kitchen in a second, leaving the freezer standing open and the little boy shook his head. Mama needed to be looked after. He could hear Seifer's protests before he could see them and he smiled. Mama would be good for his best friend.
"Lemme go! I don't need you!" Squall watched as his friend was set down on the table next to him, legs dangling off the edge.
"Now stay put. Good lord you both look like you got in a fight with a Dragon."
"Close enough." Seifer muttered and Squall rolled his eyes. Komi dug out two ice packs, wrapped them in paper towels, and pressed one to her son's eye, putting his hand over it to hold it there; the other she put over what looked to be a stunning goose egg on Seifer's head.
"I'm still waiting for an explanation Squall." The dark haired boy took a deep breath and launched into an explanation.
It was rather long and involved but what Komi gleaned from it was this:
Squall and Seifer had been wrestling as usual and they had run into Seifer's father. Apparently, thinking the boys were having an actual fight the man had backhanded Seifer and started yelling at him. Squall hadn't known this was Seifer's father and had kicked the man in the shins.
Here's where it started to get complicated. From what she could gather the man had been drunk off his a**, and had shoved Squall away and proceeded to 'punish' his son. Taking offense to anyone beating up his rival but him Squall had...wait...
"You BIT him?" Squall blushed and the dirty blonde boy next to him beamed proudly.
"You shoulda seen it lady! Blood everywhere!" Komi winced and put the casserole in the oven.
This act of bravery had earned him a backhand of his own, giving Seifer enough time to scramble up, grab Squall and drag him off. After wandering around, dazed and confused, for about an hour they'd managed to make it back to Squall's house.
Outside she looked calm, but Squall knew his mama better than anyone else. She was mad...real mad.
"Mama, are you angry at us?" He almost sighed in relief when she shook her head.
"No. Where does Seifer live?" This sent the skinny boy on the defensive.
"I ain't going back there You can't make me!" Komi raised an eyebrow.
"I'll go to the cops and tell 'em you're my Ma and you tried to abandon me!" Squall looked at Seifer wide eyed, but both boys were shocked when the woman burst out laughing.
"Relax shorty, I'm not making you go back. But, I and your father are going to have Words." After extracting the address from the reluctant boy the mother in her took charge.
"Both of you go take a bath. Squall loan Seifer a pair of your pajamas for the night okay? I'll be back in time for dinner." her son nodded and slid off the table, one hand still holding the ice pack to his eye, the other tugging his friends pant leg.
Komi trusted Squall not to let Seifer drown in the tub, so she pulled on her hiking boots and went to find Seifer's house. It was about three blocks away, across a main road and her blood ran cold at the thought of what could have happened if either boy had been any more injured.
The house itself was rather normal looking, the doorbell cheery and light. the man that opened the door was anything but.
"What do you want?" Forcing a smile on her face she tried to be polite.
"Hello, are you Seifer's father?"
"What's that brat done now? Done the world a favor and played in traffic?"
@@@
Squall looked up as the door opened and gasped as she entered the kitchen.
"Mama!" Seifer just sat there with his mouth hanging open, dressed in squalls dark blue PJs. Komi grinned.
"Well, now we match. Don't worry Squall." She went to the freezer to get an Ice pack for her own eye.
"You should see the other guy"
