Drew pulled up on his civilian motorcycle at Jeremy and Myles' apartment, with an extra large care package in the saddlebags. Parking, he turned off the motorcycle and pulled out the care package. He went up to the front door and knocked. It was like any other day he came up here, except today was different. Today, he had news that would change the course of his family's lives and would detour him from visiting for a few days. It was the reason he was gone the last few days and the reason he would be gone for another week approximately, and the reason the package was so immense. He was glowing. No, he wasn't pregnant... but that was somewhere close to the truth of what had happen (not him though). He waited for the door to be opened as he waved jovially to the neighbors. They gave him weird looks.

The apartment smelled like lemon cake, but given Myles' business making candles, soaps, and fragrances, it really wasn't surprising that the place always had a new smell to it. Most of the time it was good. Sometimes, Myles' experimentation was a little too bold.
"Come in!" Myles called from inside, but Jeremy huffed and scolded him; his voice was muted from behind the door but he was grumbling, "You can't just tell people to come in--what if it's a stranger? ...I'll answer the door. Be more careful, Myles..."
Myles just laughed, not daunted by his brother's serious nature.
The door opened a moment later and Jeremy blinked. "Drew," he greeted, and eyed the package suspiciously. "Come on in." He stepped aside; the apartment was cleaner than usual; it seemed like Jeremy had been going stir crazy and was doing repairs around the place, getting everything spotless. Myles was just working on pouring some melted wax in the candles; his hair was tied back and he was in an apron that had clearly been well used. It was stained with all sorts of colors, and he smiled at Drew. He might have waved ordinarily, but with his hands full he just focused on finishing his task.
Jeremy was put together at least; he was wearing jeans and a white undershirt, and a loose black jacket, unzipped, over it.

Drew smiled knowingly at his friends, he had been here many times in the last few weeks. "New batch smells good, Myles." He said ruefully, setting the package on the table. He looked around, nodding. "You guys seem to be doing alright," He said after a minute. "So I packed you a lot of good stuff, make sure it lasts for a while," He further commented, starting to open the box.

Myles smiled at the compliment but seemed like he didn't have the mental fortitude to concentrate on too many things at once so he had to focus on his pouring so he didn't spill it.
Jeremy tilted his head and squinted at the box. "You're bringing presents, now? That's new. What's the occasion?"
He wasn't very good at accepting gifts; he'd always been independent, part of why this whole ordeal had been so difficult for him. If he hadn't had others to help him, he wouldn't have been able to get out on his own--and it was still weighing heavily on him. He hadn't talked to Drew much about the issues the department was giving him; he still hadn't been cleared to return, and while he was getting frustrated about it, it was only pushing him further away.

Drew frowned at the care package. "I brought food again." With a look towards Myles, he continued. "Myles told me what you needed again." He opened the box and began placing stuff on the table. "I also brought more stuff.. I got some good news and some bad news. Uh You both better sit down."

Jeremy made a face immediately, squinting at Myles. This was not the first time the two had conspired to gather 'his favorites' to try and surprise him. Jeremy had told the both of them that he was fine and demanded they save their money, but it seemed there was no stopping them.
He didn't sit down and neither did Myles; Myles was frozen by the table and, while he had finished pouring, his eyes were too focused on Drew to even consider moving.
Jeremy, the more bold of the two, managed not to nag about them trying to pamper him and instead focused on the severity at which Drew delivered his words. "What's the bad news, are you okay?"

Drew frowned. "The bad news is that I'm not going to be able to come around for a while." He paused and then with a second thought., he continued. "Oh and also, I have to find a new place to live ASAP." He crinkled his forehead in a thoughtful manner.

Myles glanced between Drew and his brother, obviously worrying.
Jeremy was a bit stiffer, a bit more reserved when it came down to all of it. He was used to people being emotional, used to seeing people on their worst days. Jeremy was a problem solver; he braced himself for the worst and was already prepared on being some sort of support, or helping Drew work through some problem.
"Are you in trouble?" he asked immediately, eyes searching Drew's expression for any trace of weakness or any clues tow hat was going on.

Drew actually laughed a hearty laugh. "No, it's actually because of the good news. You see, it's getting pretty crowded at my parents' house, now that my Mom, just gave birth to yet another set of TWINS!"

Jeremy stared for a moment and then exhaled, like the pressure left his shoulders and he could relax. "Don't scare me like that," he huffed. "I thought you were in trouble or something."
Myles just laughed and hurried over; he was still wiping his hands on his apron. "Drew, that's wonderful! Congratulations! Is your mom okay? --Do you have pictures yet?"
Jeremy squinted at him, like his brother's enthusiasm was perhaps a bit too much, but there was obvious interest in his own eyes and he looked at Drew expectantly, like he too was now waiting for pictures.

Drew grinned. "Doctor says she'll be fine, excellent shape for her age. Just needs a little extra bed rest. Sure you can see the pictures. And they're both boys, if you're wondering!" He whipped out his (normal) cell phone and handed it to Jeremy.

Jeremy accepted his cell phone and Myles hurried behind him, peering over his brother's shoulder to look at the images as Jeremy swiped through them.
"Oh! They're cute!" Myles said, showing his enthusiasm for more than Jeremy did. There was a soft smile on Jeremy's face as he moved from one picture to the next.
"What are their names?" Myles asked, eyes sparkling. "Should we send your mother flowers?"

Drew just grinned when Myles said they were cute. "Their names are Darrell and Darren. Don't ask me why they are so similar. But everyone is now calling them Dell and Den. As for the flowers, we appreciate the thought, but we have way too many, thank you though. Her hospital room is so filled with flowers there is no room to sit down!" He laughed. After moment, he frowned. "There was something else you wanted to talk about wasn't there?"

Myles was just looking at the pictures, little smile on his face, but hesitated with Drew's last question. He glanced at Jeremy and then back at Drew.
"Um. Well. I mean, now that you mention it, I guess I did have a question. I wasn't going to bring it up now, but..."
He chewed on his lower lip. "I guess, it was about something you said--showed--when we...when..." He looked at Jeremy, whose expression had soured a bit; Myles didn't finish the sentence. Instead, Myles cleared his throat. "I was...you said you had a pen....a...a special one. Do you really want to talk about this now?"
Jeremy was quiet; he was still holding the phone but had stopped scrolling. Quietly, he exhaled, and handed the phone back to Drew while he waited for an answer, too.

Drew took a deep breath. "Myles, you are are a Sailor Senshi, awakened to protect this world. So am I. I am Sailor Etamin. I am Super Rank, and my sphere (power) is Hieroglyphicss). My power originates from the Planet Etamin, destroyed long ago by evil, in the Silver Millienium." He thought he knew what look would come, so he looked Myles in the eye. "Myles, you know this to true, as it is true for you, except your power originates in another world.."
