Arrival
Ixxie sighed as she entered her house and leaned against the wall. Damn, long day indeed. First, she'd had to take Phineas and Cornelius to the store – there were year end sales to hit up, after all. Then they got home and found they needed groceries. So they'd had to go back out again and get that and soon as the little family was home, Ixxie found some letter had been delivered specifying she had to go visit some strange place all the way in another town. Leaving Corni with Phineas, she'd had to go out once again, this time to Durem. And when she got there, she had to trek all over looking for these caves the letter talked about.
At these strange caves, she'd met a pair of people who looked quite a lot like children (though no child she'd ever met had argued with her about whether she was or was not 30 seconds late or 5 milliseconds early). With them had been a little girl, who she was given care of. A cute little thing with purple hair, headwings and a knack with electricity (she had been carrying around a string of christmas lights, which was the only way Ixxie had known). After being given charge of the child, Ixxie'd bid the duo farewell and took the kiddo home, which was something she was super glad about.
The pink haired lady smiled a bit as she went to sit down and watched her sons greeting and playing with their new little sister. Julie – as they'd dubbed her – had become instantly attached to Phineas and his antlers, and the feathery and furry Cornelius. The two in turn had had fun stringing the Christmas lights up so they were holding up her hair in pigtails and blinking. They'd even insisted on a picture together, even so soon after meeting, so the woman had had to get up and arrange for that. Well, one thing was for sure already: Julie would be fitting in just fine there.
