Abby has been exploring the underneath kingdom for a few days without speaking to people just nate and likes to see what her siblings and family are up to from the realm tv but it makes her feel lonely and miss her siblings more.
Abby: ..I hope I see them again..
Abby hears knocking on her door. It's Nate.
Nate: Aaron and Jackie said they'll be down here today, are you ready to meet them?
Abby: r-really!l?! Do my siblings know I'm here?
Nate shakes his head
Nate: From the sounds of it. They're hoping they can see Crisp and ask him for help in finding you...this'll be interesting, won't it?
Abby: y-yeah it would be! Do you think they'll be happy to see me?
Nate: Considering how hard they've been trying to find you...I think it's a safe bet that they will be overjoyed to see you safe and unharmed.
She smiles and hugs Nate.
Abby: Thank you for being encouraging. I had doubts if they would've been happy to see me.
She lets go of him and looks at Nate.
Abby: Do you have any clothing ideas? I want to look nice if I'm having a sibling reunion..well that's what it would feel like to me.
Nate smiles and goes into her closet pulling out several articles of clothes.
Nate: Put those on and you'll be great
He leaves the room so she can get dressed.
She does as Nate gave the idea and she comes out looking great in a knee-length galaxy designed dress with black thigh-high stockings and cute navy blue platform shoes.
She smiles with the nice outfit and heads out to meet with her siblings. She looks at Nate.
Abby: You're really good with clothing picking, what do you work as?
Nate smirks and walking by sees Nate's shop in the corner being a clothing shop and lab is what is the name of the shop.
Abby: oh wow you have your own shop I should've looked before I asked.
Nate: It's alright. It's not that popular right now cause I only just opened it but it's got a lot of clothes and stuff inside of it. It's a great place to go if you're looking for new outfits...of course this is just me advertising at the moment.
Abby: I don't mind, I'll check it out later and I think you have some customers!
It's ice and max there back and enter Nate's store.
Nate: It's fine. The store can handle it without me if you need me?
Abby: You should probably attend to your customers. I need to go find my sibling. Do you know where I can find him?
Nate points toward a path
Nate: Keep going that way and you should run into them. Good luck.
He then heads to his store.
She walks in the direction and ends up at the park and sees a worried and panicking Arron.
Abby: A-Aaron!
She says excitedly after not seeing her brother for so long she hugs him.
Aaron: ABBY! Where have you been? Are you alright? Are you hurt?
He hugs her tightly as he frantically asks her his questions, having been worried sick about her.
Aaron: Mother called me after they heard you went missing from the hospital and I've been trying to find you.
Abby: I've been here! And relax big brother it's only been a few days!
Aaron: I don't care how long it's been! You disappeared without any warning or notice! Do you even realize how terrified I was! You were MISSING! For all any of us knew you'd been kidnapped and killed! You didn't even think to have someone let us know you were alright?
Abby: in that hospital I couldn't do much..so I'm sorry.
Aaron takes a deep breath and ruffles his own hair.
Aaron: No...I overreacted a bit just now. I just got worried about you when I heard about it.
He pulls her into another tight hug.
Aaron: I'm just glad that you're alright.
Abby smiles and embraces her brother.
Abby: big brother I like it here I think I'll live here!
Aaron looks sad but he smiles
Aaron: As long as you're safe and happy. I'll let mother know that your alright and living somewhere safe that can help you with your ability and that you're actually happy here.
Abby: yeah and I've learned some things! My ability is not dangerous and what I see is real. Do you believe me now big brother since I'm pretty sure Nate or someone has explained realms to you?
He laughs
Aaron: Abby. I've always believed you the same as Alex did!
He wants to tell her about how things have been without her but is worried about how badly she'll take it so he decides to talk about their nephew instead.
Aaron: Ah! I should introduce you to your nephew, Jackson.
Abby: oh where is he? Is he back at our home? Also I have nephews!!?
Aaron: Hehe he said he was going to explore a bit so he should be around. He sort of is easy to tell at the moment. Besides the fact he looks like Alex, he has a streak of blue in his hair.
Abby: wow!! Our brother would be so proud..you all moved on huh?
Aaron: We had to...I was told I couldn't visit you in the hospital plus I kind of ran away from home in a sense to join the heroes.
She sighs and decides to change the subject in a instant though she feels alone.
Abby: t-that's good big brother!! Yeah...also I met a guy named crisp Nate told me your his friend!
Aaron eyes her for a second, worriedly since he can tell something is off about her.
Aaron: Are you alright? And we are sort of friends ...But we don't really know each other well enough to be full friends but we're getting there. I at least trust and respect him.
Abby: Yes I'm fine..and he's actually the one who saved me from that hospital!
Aaron: And he couldn't even be bothered to let me know he had you? I'm going to scold him for that when I see him.
He looks pissed and some of his soul is visible around him.
Abby: why big brother and I don't know he seemed like in a rush!
Aaron: Abby, we were worried sick about you and had no idea if you were safe or dead...I thought I had lost another sibling...You vanished without a word to anyone and no note or anything. If Crisp had you he should have sent word to me that you were safe so I wouldn't worry half-to-death about you.
Abby: ...I'm sorry you're right he should've we'll talk to him about it! Also he seemed a bit nervous when saving me. I don't know how to explain it. He mentioned his and my power is the same? But it felt like he had no powers? So that confuses me..
Under her breath she says "lose someone else?...you have Alex..your nephew..I had no one besides some doctor and myself.."
Aaron: He's confusing for sure...Maybe he can hide his abilities?
Abby: maybe?
Aaron: Anything is possible right?
Abby: yeah I guess so I mean we all have special perks!
Aaron: Yeah...some are very special and could get them killed...
He's thinking of Jack's eye switch ability.
Abby: hm? What's the matter, big brother?
Aaron sighs
Aaron: Nothing. Let's go find Crisp, if he's around.
Abby; alright let's first go eat at my favorite place! Ice and Max's restaurant!
Aaron: Alright.
They go into the restaurant very nice and pretty decorative.
"Welcome!" Sally says greeting them
Steven is taking another customers order while making a few jokes about the interior design and the owners being missing.
Abby; hi! I wish to order and eat something with my brother!
She says excitedly and sits and waits for the waiter.
Steven smiles at her as he goes to there table to take there order.
Steven: Long time no see Abby. Could I have sworn I saw you this morning though?
Abby; yes I was here in the morning breakfast was really good by the way that Nate has good restaurant suggestions!
Steven: Hehehe he doesn't he. That kid knows what's hot and what's shaking
As he says shaking the ground starts shaking for a split second before Sally shouts at him
Sally: STEVEN! STOP CAUSING THE GROUND TO SHAKE!
Steven: Whoops...sorry sorry. You know we earth elementals have a hard time controlling our powers.
Abby: Does everyone in this kingdom? Have powers? Also do you have a lot of competition to make your restaurant the best or do you all share ideas?
Sally: Honestly we don't care too much about being the best. People come to eat here and that's good enough for us.
Steven: Yeah! This is better than being a statue for thousands of years. And I can go home to my wife after work!
Abby: That's nice, what realm are you two from? I wanted to ask this morning but all I got was your names!
Steven: Oh we're from the Mythical realm. It's a great place right now although it's a lot different from when we were around.
Abby: oh wow how is it there? And Steven I'll order a burger my brother wants. What do you want Aaron?
Aaron: I'll take the same thing with a coffee please
Steven: Sure!
Sally: It's a place where five kingdoms exist each filled with different kinds of people. The forests of fairies, the mountains of elves, the volcanoes of fire spirit, the darkness of the demonic like people and the capital of mostly elementals. Steven and I were born in the Capital but we...got turned to stone for a few thousand years.
Abby: How sad..were you able to see everything passing by or was it dark?
Sally: We saw everything happening so it wasn't so bad.
Steven: Plus we were dying at the time we were turned to stone.
Aaron: So you're immortal like yellow?
Steven thinks for a second
Steven: I guess? I know Ice is immortal and we have lived for thousands of years so maybe?
Abby: Speaking of yellow, do you all know he is also Arron. How is everyone back at VOTLS?
Aaron: Everyone is...good. We have a small villain problem but when do we not?
Abby: I swear there's always villains everywhere!
Steven laughs.
Steven: Villains make the world more interesting but it would be nice if there was a few less...although I guess villains come in many shapes and sizes?
Sally: Obviously we know about the different sizes and shapes of villains.....
They both fall silent.
Abby: ..was it hard for you two to get adjusted to way things are down here...I was exploring a bit and...it's so peaceful...it's shocking really in my home everyone has sometimes issues with some heroes ...but here everyone respects you and are kind..it's strange I'm just not used to this.
Steven and Sally look at each other for a second.
Steven: It's peaceful but that doesn't mean people don't have issues with each other.
Sally: They're just much better at handling their problems. Instead of fighting with each other they take the time to talk things over and to actually try to understand each other's point of view.
Steven: It takes a lot of time to get used to this place especially when you only come here for work but yeah it's a pretty great place and if my woman wasn't currently running the Capital I'd try convincing her to move here...Sally moved here though.
Sally: I only just moved yesterday night though so I haven't lived here for long yet.
Abby: how about you Aaron Nate told me you visit this place a lot would you move here?
Aaron: Nah. Anchor Harbor is my home and I love it plus being a hero is the only thing I want to do.
Abby: ok then..but promise me something big brother if you find Alex bring him back to us!
Aaron: I will after I get through with him
He's smiling but it's almost creepy looking
Steven: Wow...he looks almost as creepy as King Darkness when he tried to forcefully smile at us...
Sally nods, scared.
Abby: what do you mean through with him? Also darkness?
Frank then comes into the shop.
Frank: here you go Stephen another box of combinations to make good drinks for everyone!
He says putting it in the back.
Frank: oh I heard you guys were talking about darkness!
Abby: how did you hear that if you just came into the store?
Frank: don't ask~ anyways here's the box ooh and darkness has a beautiful smile like this!
He does the forced smile darkness did sometimes it makes the lights of the building shake and turn off and on.
Frank: anyways enough of that see ya!
He leaves them be and Abby is scared holding onto Aaron.
Abby; that guys scary!!!
Sally shivers
Steven: YES! That smile is the creepy one I was talking about! Thank you Frank for demonstrating it for us! Oh...he's already gone.
Abby: t-that was not a beautiful smile..it was terrifying...w-what realm is he from?
Steven: Who Frank? I think he's from this one?
Sally: I don't know but he scares me...then again he's a nice enough guy.
Abby: He seems like a scary guy if you make him angry r-right big brother?
Aaron: Yeah but their right. The times I've interacted with him, he's been a pretty good guy.
Abby: I-oh so who's else is good people!?
Steven: Pretty much everyone here is pretty good people or at least once you get to know them.
Abby: hm so this place must really be safe but to have all this protection there must've been something wrong right?
Steven: Huh...never thought about it to be honest but maybe or maybe they just wanted someplace they could go to after the turmoil in their own realms or maybe they wanted a vacation place that'd be safe. Who can ever say why someone created this place.
Abby: your not wrong either way this place is nice anyways could I have a cake as well!
Steven: Coming right up!
He heads back into the kitchen. A woman comes into the restaurant.
Sally: Lilly! Hi! How's the Capital doing?
Lilly smiles lightly
Lilly: It's doing much better now. I finally got a break so I thought I'd come eat lunch with my man. Is Steven available?
Sally: Yeah. He just has one order to complete and then you can take him for lunch.
Lilly: Thanks.
Abby: oh who's this!
Sally: This is Steven's fiance, Lilly Water.
Abby: Nice to meet you Lilly!
Abby says looking at Lilly and smiling at her then she turns to her brother.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Abby: Are you ok? You seem spaced out..
Aaron: Yeah. I'm just enjoying seeing you make friends.
Abby:Do you have any friends down here?
She says smiling at Aaron.
Aaron: I don't know about friends but I would if I had visited more or had their numbers we might be closer friends.
Abby: oh and who would those people be?
Aaron: Crisp and Frank.
Abby: oh so the two people I've met well I met crisp first then Frank today!
Aaron: Yeah. I know a few other people but those two I spend more time with then anyone else.
Abby: Well I'm friends with his son Nate, he's a good kid!
Aaron: Nate does seem like a good kid. He's friends with Tobi and Charlie.
Abby: Oh really?!
Aaron: Yeah. Apparently they go out to amusement parks together and go to see movies. Tobi says they are like mother friends and can talk about kids or anything without the need to have their partners upset at them.
Abby: That is nice so how long do you plan on being here with me..or are you gonna leave?
She then thinks "I don't mind since now i have people to talk to and new friends to make a better and a nicer area than being trapped in a small room in that hospital no longer ill be lonely.."
Aaron reaches across the table to touch her hand.
Aaron: I have to leave soon but I'll be back now that there's nothing preventing me from coming to see you. I'll come visit again tomorrow and I don't plan on leaving here today for a few more hours.
Abby smiles gently and a tube appears above them dropping Jackie onto the portable cushion. Grace also walks by the cushion to see if it's working fine.
Grace: Hello Jack, did you land safely?
Jack: Yes...was I testing it for you?
Grace: not really? But this is a new design so I was making sure others already landed on it as well, more from the mystical realm. Anyways, enjoy your lunch.
She says leaving Abby and Aaron were listening in.
Abby: Is he someone you know aaron?
Aaron: Jackie! Come over here and meet your aunt.
Jack approaches and sits down.
Jack: Um..hi?
Abby is stunned for words; he really does look like her brother. It's been long since she's seen her siblings but seeing Jack makes her feel happy.
Abby: You really do look like my brother.
Jack: I get told that a lot lately.
The only real difference is the blue streak in his hair.
Aaron: Doesn't he!
Abby: Jack you must be a very strong guy right?
Jack: I still have a lot to learn.
He smiles a bit.
Aaron: But he's coming along really quickly
Abby is happy to see her brother smile due to how long shes been in a hospital without seeing family.
Abby: it's nice seeing you happy big brother.
Aaron: It's good to see you happy as well...I've really missed you sister.
She stands up and hugs them and she waits for her cake she ordered a while ago.
Steven returns with the cake.
Steven: Sorry for the wait! Cake's aren't my speciality so I had to make sure I was doing everything right.
Lilly: Hi love.
Steven: LILLY!
He runs over and scoops her into a hug slightly twirling her.
Steven: What are you doing here? How was your meeting?
Lilly: Hehe, everything went well. So far the negotiations are going well so hopefully that's the end of the wars...unless Ice is keeping more secrets from us.
Steven: Wouldn't put it past him.
Lilly: Anyways since I got a break, I figured we could eat together today.
Steven: Sally, I'm taking a break!
Sally: Enjoy it.
Steven and Lilly leave the restaurant holding hands and talking about their realms issues that still need to be addressed and everything else both good and bad.
Abby: That's nice also Sally, do you know when crisp well arrive down here?
Sally: No, unfortunately not. He doesn't tell anyone when he'll be around or not but usually he shows up around now.
Abby: is it true he's the king of this entire place?
Sally: Yeah or at least the king of the underneath kingdom...and someplace called the kindness kingdom.
Abby: And about that one lady named Stacy, what's her deal? She says she's the god of fate and sister of molly god of intellect or is she just joking?
Sally shrugs.
Sally: Who knows for sure but isn't it more fun, the idea of gods walking among us?
Abby: maybe? But nate told me she is the embodiment of magic and she showed proof for it.
Sally: Eh. I've seen some pretty epic magic so I don't really care too much. I mean don't get me wrong! Her magic is amazing! But...it feels like to say she's the embodiment of magic would be saying that everyone else is inferior in a way and I can't bring myself to say that.
Abby: I don't think so? It's hard to say since she isn't around much.\
Grace comes into the store and sits where Jackie and the rest are sitting.
Sally: Maybe but that's how it feels to me so while I do think her magic is amazing, I don't think it's the only amazing magic out there.
Grace: it's time for your monthly review all of you!
Sally: Monthly review? What's that?
Grace then checks around and sees jackie and the rest confused,
Grace: really aaron? Don't tell me you haven't done one well makes sense you all haven't stayed for a month but its better to do it now for this month ok its basically i do a check up on all of you by your souls.
Abby: h-huh?
Sally: And we have no say in this "interesting" sounding review? What are you even checking for?
Grace: ok so a week before this kingdom went public for all realms some souls started to lose there glow meaning there ability stacy came by to help the soul be back at full strength since if your soul is weaker you wouldn't know and then suddenly you die but dying is normal i know but if your glow stops you lose your magic or if you don't have magic your memories..how do we know this why it was happening to Qreq and Yella see.
She makes a hologram showing they both were losing their power at fast speeds if not for the treatment.
Sally: I think being turned to stone once has stopped my soul.
She laughs at her own joke.
Sally: You know...cause you don't have a soul when your stone...nevermind.
Abby laughs so does grace.
Grace: So may I check your guys souls you have all permission to say no.
Sally shrugs.
Sally: Go ahead as long as it's just my soul you're looking at and nothing else.
Aaron: I guess...but my soul is already injured so don't be too surprised about that.
Jack: Alright...
Abby: Can you fix souls..?
She says thinking about her brother.
Grace: yes stacy appears to heal the soul but she'll ask for consent to fix it since some don't want their souls repaired..ok here we go.
She snaps her fingers and she sees the glows on most are fine she writes it all down but like Aaron said his isn't.
Grace: Ok Aaron, do you want your soul fixed?
Aaron shakes his head.
Aaron: I don't think it'd be a good idea...No one would believe it since souls can't be fixed plus I'm fine with it the way it is. It doesn't affect my ability to live and as long as I take my meds everyday I won't lose control of my anger.
Grace: very well then just if you ever change your mind you can tell me ok?
She writes it down and she snaps her fingers there souls go back to them.
Grace: ok then thats all for today also Abby nate told me you were looking for crisp?
Abby: yes do you know when he arrives?
Grace: midnight you'll have to wait a bunch of hours since it's only 3pm right now.
Abby: Why does he come so late?
Sally: Probably can't escape from wherever he is until then?
Grace: That's exactly it. He also calls me Gracie since i see him as a friend and well my friends call me gracie anyways toodles.
She leaves and Abby looks at sally.
Abby: So are you all friends with her?
Sally: I like to think we are friends but Steven will probably say he's just an acquaintance and Lilly doesn't know her too well.
Abby: And how about you big brother and Jackie, what is she to you guys?
Aaron: She's a friend although I don't think we're close enough yet to be considered very close friends.
Jack: She's nice.
Abby: Aaron I know why you said no but I wanted you to say yes..taking medicine everyday must suck..
Aaron: It's not bad and I'm used to it by now. Maybe if it hadn't been my fault I would have but it was my fault my soul got hurt.
Abby makes a face of hurt and sadness and she gets up and heads home.
Frank walks into the restaurant with some more boxes.
Frank: almost forgot heres your decorations for christmas! Its only 20 days away from today!
Sally: Christmas? What's that? Oh! Is it the holiday where people give presents to each other?
Frank: yep thats the holiday im heading to restaurants and alex told me to hand boxes with no decorations ready at hand I already decorated redacteds cafe and bar but he's still at the kindness kingdom fighting the war with a guy named lost saw it all on tv alright well see yall later!
He leaves with some boxes but drops off two.
Abby: Wow, today is an active day.
Sally: It is...usually not this busy.
She starts looking through the boxes and frowns at all the decorations unsure what they all are used for.
Abby walks over with her sibling and her nephew.
Abby: oh wow pieces to build a tree and in the other box ornaments for the tree and for the top a star have you ever built one before?
She says looking at sally.
Sally: No...we didn't have Christmas during my time and I've only seen people exchange presents while I was stone so I've never seen any of this stuff before.
Abby smiles and nods.
Abby: We can help, we know how this holiday is and we can tell you about it to see if you'll like it or not.
Sally smiles and nods, picking up some tinsel.
Sally: This will be fun! We didn't have any holidays in my time.
Aaron and Jackie build the fake Christmas tree and Abby places it's decorations and around the store.
Abby: beautiful!! Also Sally what is the strangest store here? Because I went to one named "reality store" and Alex is the owner of it he showed me around and a sections was comics about stories of what if and it showed people that I've never met and situations different from what has happened it's interesting stuff be even led me more into the store to show clothing and masks of the people in those comics and I had a section of diffrent clothing from those comics the ones I was in but in the deepest part was comics and written stories about what I would assume is our lives he told me the writers being krystal, Cris and tometa all have made those books about our lives and as like news reports but there was also something interesting next to those stories was a section saying "socia media" and it lead me to stuff of the people who wrote those stories social and they have interesting animations or more stories written or videos so I say that reality store is the strangest one but the videos stories and comics were pretty cool!
Sally: I don't really like his store. Those things make everything seem so fake and I know my realm isn't fake.
Abby: our realms aren't fake? But those realites seem like different lives that we could've lived and people we could've known. It's an interesting store! But back to my question, what's the strangest store you've seen?
Sally: Even if you say that that doesn't change how I feel when I enter that place but it is the weirdest store.
Abby: guess that makes sense what do you two think?
She says looking at Aaron and Jack.
Aaron: I don't shop here so that place?
Jack shrugs.
Abby: who else has seen that store?
She says looking at sally.
Sally: What makes you think I'd know everyone who visits someone else's store? I work and co-own this place not that place. I don't care who visits his store.
Abby smiles and nods then looks at her brother.
Abby: when do you plan on heading home?
Aaron sighs sadly
Aaron: In a few minutes unfortunately.
She nods and hugs her brother when he leaves then she headed to Nate's clothing store.
Abby: hmm I need a new dress..
Nate is at the counter seemingly asleep except he's in a vision. He pulls out of it when he hears the door opening since he put himself into it.
Nate: Welcome! Can I help with something?
Abby; I need some dresses! Something nice to stand ou-
She walks over a dress and it's crisps maid outfit he used one time.
Abby: it's so colorful! Did you make this?
Nate: I didn't make it but it has inspired some designs I'm working on...it's my dad's. He apparently used it for something once and when I asked him, he agreed to let me showcase it in the store and use it for inspiration.
Abby: wait he wears dresses? Is he a cross dresser?
Nate: Not that I know of...as far as I know, I'm the only crossdresser in my family or at least the only one who does it on a daily basis. I think dad had to wear it for something, maybe a dare?
Grace appears out of the ground.
Grace: actually he used that outfit for a war! Something happened during that war were a cloud storm happened and males wore dresses and females suits very intresting day but not all wore suits and dresses but your father was one of them with a dress Nate and he did also use it for a dare!
She says laughing and disappears and Abby is a bit scared.
Abby: d-does she do that often?
Nate: Too often...I'm trying to figure out how to prevent her from just appearing inside the store but so far no luck on that.
Abby: is it because she's a hologram?
Nate: Honestly not sure why but that could be it.
Abby: still really strange anyways is this dress for sale or is there any other dresses maybe blue?
Nate: Sorry but that dress isn't for sale but I do have some blue dresses, back left wall is all different shades of blue.
Abby: alright do you have any recommendations of these blue dresses?
Nate eyes her for a few seconds before moving over there and starting to pull several different blue dresses from the wall. He places them onto an empty table beside the clothes rack.
Nate: These would all be good for your body type and they should look good on you but try them on and see what you think.
She nods and gets the dress with a flower pocket and loves it.
Abby: it's beautiful but how much?
Nate: Take it. I let every customer have a freebie the first time they come in.
Abby smiles with delight and take dress thanking Nate.
Later that day crisp heads down to the kingdom.
Crisp: my son, how's business going!!!?
He says happy to see Nate working hard and Alraic being Nate's little apprentice.
Nate: It's going good. Abby got a dress earlier and a few others came in again today.
Crisp: That's good and how's Alraic doing working with you?
Nate: He's pretty good.
Alaric: where the freak does these dresses go! THERE ALL RED!
Crisp snickers and thinks "my two sons working hard and they love it makes my heart warm"
Nate: The entire place is COLOR coded, Alaric! If there red they go over with the other red clothes.
He laughs in amusement at his brother's confusion.
Alaric: Ohhhh thanks big brother!
He puts the red dresses where they go and he sees crisp and stops in his tracks dropping the box and hugs crisps legs.
Alraic: DAD!!! Your home!!!!
Nate: Hehe, he comes home every night almost Alaric.
Alaric: I-i know but I miss daddo..
Crisp picks Alaric up and hugs him and he tears up softly and whispers "papa.."
Nate smiles as he watches this sweet moment.
Nate: No hug for me?
Crisp holds Alaric and walks to Nate and hugs them both hard.
Nate smiles happily as he snuggles against his father.
Crisp: So has Abby been settling in?
Nate: She seems to be settling in well although she does ask about you a lot...one would almost think she's developed a crush on you.
Crisp: I don't think so? I did promise her I would help her control her power. I'm shocked I thought she would've wanted to go home from our first encounter but I'm glad she's settling down here.
Nate puts up some dresses and folds some skirts.
Nate: I mean compared to being stuck, cooped up in a hospital this place would be much more preferred.
Crisp: yeah your right but she wanted to stay here so fast to that choice is it not safe to be in her realm?
He says curiously and Alaric fell asleep holding crisp and crisp hold Alraic in his hands.
Nate: I don't know but I don't think it's a matter of being safe or not. Sometimes people choose to move to a new place not because of their old one being too dangerous but for other reasons.
Crisp: and do you like it here my son also any news on that lady?
Nate: I both like it and wish for a change of scenery but I love this place too much to leave as well. As for that lady, nothing new.
Crisp: damn...
Grace walks into the store bringing Alex he was looking for Nate but he sees crisp he knows he'll be crushed but has to tell the truth.
Alex: We need to talk..
Grace left after bringing Alex.
Crisp: what is it Alex?
Alex is nervous but sighs and speaks.
Alex: Bella..is that ladies name she's my apprentice...she plans to merge All alternate realites...into one and if her plan doesn't work she plans to at least merge them good enough so they could be able to bring people from those realites here...and she's Vanessa's sister...she's controlling her..
Crisp hearing this he approaches Alex.
Crisp: for how long was she under control...
Alex: since you arrived with her to rebellion now she's in the kindness kingdom causing havoc..
Crisp:I-I'm going to the kindness kingdom!
He says running and he clenches his sword but a tube sends him back to rebellion.
Alex sees this and looks down, upset he then looks at Nate.
Alex: Would he be ok?
Nate looks uncertainly at Alex.
Nate: I don't know Alex.
Alex: why does the kingdom not let him go home?
Nate: Who can say but maybe it doesn't want him getting involved in the war that's happening over there?
Alex: I wonder why...I know Bella plans to merge the realities or destroy them I have no clue...but if they merge we'll have memories that isnt ours and if that doenst happen...our reality we'll be the easiest to cross over or the others since she plans to merge them..
Nate: Honestly it all sounds like a...both a terrible idea and an intriguing one as well.
Alex: It means more dangers and unknown dangers of those other realities..but the reason why we are the easiest reality to enter is because we are the main reality.
Nate: Hmm...eitherway let's focus on helping dad if he needs it.
Alex: yeah.
Nate: Anyways, need anything?
Alex: uh yes I was looking for a hat to buy!
Nate smiled lightly.
Nate: What kind were you thinking of? of?
Alex: any..also how much do I need to pay for advice to be a better father..
Nate: Free but...do you really think someone who isn't a father can provide fatherly advice?
Alex: your a man of visions so you can tell me besides I'm pretty sure you know more about Bella something you should know Vanessa and Bella have a lot in common.
He smiles and waves good bye and leaves the store.
Nate watches him leave.
Nate thinks: I know but having visions has nothing to do with being able to be a good father or not...everyone has a different way of being a parent and not many of them are wrong. As long as you don't abuse your child then your already a great father.
He then has a vision of Vanessa looking at a mirror but he sees bella as Vanessa's reflection and her saying "who am I really?."
Nate watches this vision, already having a few suspicions.
Then it shows Bella talking to Alex.
Alex; what do you want Bella?
Bella: I want a person to be me and live a happy life!
But then shows the death of Bella before anything and then Alex brought her back but her soul corrupted so he sealed them both and she came back but when coming back her soul was split into two Vanessa and Bella.
Nate: So...they were one before splitting into two?
The vision with Alex writing and he sees what Alex wrote "to whoever finds this note my children are out there this new Bella..her soul was corrupted somehow split into two the real part of her soul and the corrupted side there the same soul if they combine back fully together they'll be stronger then anything slay the corrupted soul..who knows who would have full control of a body with the souls combined the corrupted or the whole..."
The vision ends and someone looks at Nate weird.
Henry: Uh hello? I wanted to buy a outfit for ice!
Nate: Huh? Oh uh hi.
Henry looks uncertain now.
Nate: S-Sorry. Just fell asleep anyways an outfit for Ice?
Henry nods.
Henry: I'm going on a date with him later tonight so wanted to get him something nice to wear.
Nate nods and helps Henry find the perfect outfit for their date night.
Nate: So what do you plan to do on this date?
Henry shrugs uncomfortable since he's shy around people unless the conversation is about plants.
Henry: Just...a nice restaurant.
Nate: Your planning on having his father show up huh?
Henry: Am I...that obvious?
Nate: No, just a guess.
At that point Ice and Max enter to look around.
Nate: Hi Ice, Max. How are you two today?
Ice: Good.
Max: We're doing pretty good!
Henry: Wait your name is Ice too?
Ice stays quiet not answering him.
Max chuckles in amusement at Ice's silence.
Max: Yeah although he's also been called Dragon Master and Winter before along with several other names but nowadays he goes by Ice.
Ice: You talk too much Max...
Max: You like me talking a lot though.
He laughs and Ice sighs but a smile is playing on his lips.
Ice: We should get going...goodbye Nate, we'll be back another time.
The two leave and Henry eventually waves goodbye as well with his purchase.
When walking away back to the tubes to go back to there adventure Frank bumps into ice and max making them both fall.
Frank: o-oh I'm so sorry!
He helps them up.
Max: It's alright. No harm done afterall.
Ice just starts walking again except he's headed in the wrong direction of the tubes. Max grabs his hand to stop him from disappearing on him again.
Max: Anyways, we're headed home for a bit so see you later!
Frank laughs and then heads to Nate shop and brought some plain shirts and a new sewing machine.
Frank then places it on the table.
Frank: here's a new sewing machine! And also some plain shirts so you can sew desgins you want!
Nate: Thanks!
Frank: Any time I'm going to head to a monster apartment for a little while there looking for new bar workers so I thought of trying to work there. Do you think I'll get the job??
Nate: Who can really tell but you have a decent shot!
Frank: Alright, thanks also. Where's crisp he was supposed to train Abby if he isn't here. Can you do it also I saw Alex came by earlier what did he say was it anything weird? Actually lately he hasn't said anything strange ever since the necklace was off him oh wait hold on.
Frank checks his personal magic device and sees a text "sam i do plan to end him and kennocha now..sam a lot he goes into her room but in the mornings comes out he tells me they talk but he has a blood stain on his shirt he's done something but kennocha hasn't been hurt by him just scared sometimes i'm going to find out tell nate to be safe" he shows the message to nate.
Nate: He should just ask her what their up to and if she doesn't want to talk about it he should respect it...but this is two potentially evil people so...but ending someone...I'm not sure how to feel about that one.
Frank: go up i can make you be in crisps shirt pocket is that ok with you?
Nate nods.
Nate: Yeah...someone needs to make sure dad doesn't overdo it.
Frank snaps his finger and he turns nate into a blob he then suddenly is in crisps pocket of his shirt crisp was in ice part of the garden and the blob form removed from him hes back to being human mini human.
Nate shape-shifts into a tiny bunny preferring this form when he's inside a pocket. It's less weird in his mind. He takes a tiny peek out to check for people then speaks.
Nate: Dad? Are you alright?
No response meanwhile back at the kingdom, Frank waves to everyone and heads to the monster apartment with his job application.
