Yes, it would seem Michael and Robin had a VERY good time at teh Party--and they didn't even have any zucchini Punch! Count D says he'll miss having Robin around to talk to all teh time, and his critters are always EXTRA-HAPPY when she can be at teh PetShop, but......"she's a young lady, now, and it's TIME that she found a young man to spend her time with"--WHY do I get teh feeling that CD is a LOT "older" than he looks.....? P.S. to TrigunAce--- If you don't mind, I think we'll "pretend" that Robin and Michael are 18 and 19, now, rather than their ages given in teh anime [15 and 16, I think]--I just feel a bit too "uncomfortable", otherwise.....Yeah, I KNOW that makes me an Ol' Fogey, and I ALSO know that 16 is "legal marrying age" in Japan, but HEY! better "safe" than sorry, ya' know! [I'm assuming Ace IS Dojima's age, somewhere over 18?] Actually I was kinda thinking teh same thing...It is 100% ok with me if they are 18 and 19. Ace is 21 though. O and yes Micheal would feel bad if he didn't give Kermit a discount.

Micheal walks back out and sees Ace on teh computer. Micheal:[trying to stay quiet but still yelling] Damn you Ace I told you to stay off that computer. Ace:[feeling quite dumbfounded] Micheal.....your..your a...seed! Micheal: yeah but be quite about it, only you and Robin know. Ace: Fine...but have you felt your powers yet? Micheal: no...and I don't wanna. when teh STNJ took me in they told me I was a threat because I was a great hacker...but I always thought there was something more, I just recently found out. Ace: So how did Robin take it? Micheal: She didn't seem to care...she just told me if they do awaken not to do anything stupid. Ace I wuv Robin. Ace: Micheal thats...thats......nice... Micheal:nice!?! Ace: I'm sorry, I'm not used to this wuv emotion...with me and Dojima its me saying something stupid, and then her hitting me with that purse...[under his breath] that I swear if I didn't know better has a building in it.Micheal: Ha..that is true...you're a sucker for abusive women aren't you. Ace: Sad, but true. --------------------------------------------------------------

I was in teh kitchen cleaning up after dinner, everyone else was in teh living room socializing. I was up to my elbows in soap suds when I heard someone come in. Mario: Need some help Me: Um, uh, sure Mario: what do you want me to do Me: grab a dish rag and start drying Mario: Ummm Ok ( looking at teh rag and then teh plate, I had forgotten that they had machines to do this on teh Birkis) Me: Look, (wiping my hands off on my apron) you take teh rag (putting it into his hands) and rub it over teh plate like this, until all teh water is gone. Mario: Oh, things are so primitive here Me: Oh, I dont normally wash teh dishes by hand, its just Andy broke teh dishwasher a week ago when he was trying to clean Onyx's spare horse shoes. (laughing to myself) When I came back from teh store teh ship was filled with soap suds. Mario: So, you and this Andy Me: Oh him? He was stalking me for a year or so before I decided to live off his wealth, instead of run from it. And then I came here not to long ago.... Mario: So teh two of you are.... Me: ME? AND ANDY? NO NO NO! Never in a million years. I mean really hes so.... ugh! Mario: Oh ok Me: why? Mario: Oh no reason

Well, I WAS taping it, and then went back and watched that scene a couple more times to make sure I understood everything......one thing I ESPECIALLY remember is how Amon clenches his fist til you hear teh leather of his glove *squeak*--in other words, til it HURT--when he mentions his mother....Amon gives teh impression of being "un-feeling", but it becomes obvious, as you get to know teh character better, that he is REALLY a person of intense emotion, who when he cares, cares DEEPLY, and is loyal to a fault--he REALLY WAS trying to keep things WITHIN teh STNJ from becoming a "war" that would eventually destroy teh people he worked with, people he cared about, but I don't think even HE was aware just HOW much Zaizen HATED him and all "witches"...... Hmmm... I guess I should've taped it. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20. "loyal to a fault"-- I guess that's why I care for teh big lug.

EGADS!!! It's po' Lorne, starring in "teh ATTACK o' da' FUZZIES!!!!!" [Oh, GREAT!!! Now there's a whole HERD o' green ruperts runnin' aroun' out THERE, besides Spiegel's Broccoli! And THESE ONES are REALLY GREEN!!!!!!] Mmmmmmmm.........YUMMY!! P-kitty's a-fryin' up a MESS o' batter-dipped zucchini, I'll BET-cha'! Mmmmmmmmm.......WALTER'S HERE!! [My FAV'RIT" Butler!] [Uh, OH! Sumthin' tells me that Alucard's days o' "care-free bliss" MIGHT be abou' to END.....! Po' Fangs.....] Yay Walter!! Alucard doesn't seem too upset. After all, he and Walter go waaaaay back... Watch out for teh "Floss of Death."

Decidin' it MIGHT be "better" NOT knowin' jus' WHY Alucard busted inta' laughter, Snap hurries inta' da' kitchen-ta' git dessert: PEACH COBBLER wid' Vanilla Ice Cream!!! YUMMY!!Gren comes out to help her serve, n' Snap, who's noticed he suddenly seems very quiet, decides-ta' ask-- "Gren--Is there something wrong.....did.....did Alucard SAY something "hurtful" to you.....? If he DID, I swear I'll--" GREN [sad smile]: "No.....he just told me teh "truth"--and sometimes teh Truth REALLY Hurts......I guess I should really be ANGRY at him for that, but.......Well, Snap, he's RIGHT! I AM "holding" onto teh past too much, hoping for "something" that will NEVER happen, and I guess it's time I "let it go"--REALLY LET GO...!" SNAP [putting her hand to his face for a moment]: "You sound as if you've made a "big decision"......" GREN [*sighs*]: "I HAVE, Snap......I just hope I have what it takes to carry it thru'.............." They take dessert out ta' ev'ra'one, where it's THOROUGHLY ENJOYED! [Vic ESPECIALLY, since Vanilla Ice Cream is his all-time Fav'rit!] Alucard "declines", a-course', tho' he DOES try a-lil' ice cream wid' blood "drizzled" over it--*ICK!* There is more "visitin'" inta' da' Evenin', even a game o' Trivial Pursuit--which Alucard wins, due-ta' his LOOOONG memory, havin' "lived" thru' MOST o' da' events listed inda' game--"Ahhh, Yes! I DO remember John Crapper--ingenius fellow!" Meanwhile, Daniel n' Stampers make a pretty serious team, because HE has done a LOT o' readin' durin' his long life n' SHE jus' has a mind FULL o' trivia! Gren rather nervously "teams" wid' Alucard, so that Amon n' Snap can be "together", n' they do reasonably well, findin' out that they have MUCH in common [OTHER than "witchery", THAT is!] Rin plays wid' Fluffy while da' adults occupy themselves, occasionally lookin' up from her own lil' "games" to check on Vic, JUS' as a "mother" would do.....! [Gren notices this, n' da' expression on his face is so wistful n' longin' it's hard to look at wid'-out hurtin' fer' da' man, jus' a-bit'.............] But, eventually things begin-ta' "break-up", n' teh various "parties" prepare-ta' leave, sayin' their "good-byes". To be Continued......... I'm on teh edge of my seat, Stampers!! Trivial Pursuit.. why didn't I think of that!!!nI'm pretty good at it, too. I have a feeling we're gonna get creamed by Alucard.

Alucard takes his "leave" first, "retirin'" inta' Snap's closet---Daniel n' Stampers "go" next, tho' when Amon comes out teh door, he spots da' two o' them in a dark corner at-da' end o' da' hall, "SMOOCHIN' AWAY!" He quickly turns back-ta' Snap, sum'what "embarrassed"--then, as he sees-da' "hope" in her face, he comes-ta' a Decision o' his OWN-- AMON [smilin' gently at Snap]: "Snapdragon, would you like to attend wildkat's Party in teh Park with me?" SNAP [would I EVER!!!!]: "Yes, yes I think I would, Amon....!" AMON [THERE, that's "done"!]: "Then it's arranged--I'll come by about 6, and we'll go together." SNAP [EXULTANT!!!]: [ina' whisper--] "Together........." As Amon leaves, passin' Daniel n' Stampers--who are NOW gigglin' abou' sumthin' like-a' coupla' silly teen-agers--he nods "good-night" [which results in even MORE *giggles*!], n' thinks-ta' himself-- "What DOES Alucard "KNOW", anyway! *Humph!*" Vic n' Rin are-da' last-ta' leave, partly be'cuz Rin has fallen asleep, n' partly be'cuz Gren asks him-ta' stay a-lil' longer as he has sumthin' he needs-ta' speak-ta' Vic abou'.......Snap excuses herself-ta' her bedroom fer' da' night [tho' it's obvious she's so "giddy" abou' her comin' "date" wid' Amon that she WON'T sleep fer' awhile!], leavin' da' two men alone, Vic sittin' onda' sofa wid' Rin usin' his lap fer'a pillow [jus' like she does wid' Sesshomaru....!], Fluffy snuggled in her arms, n' Gren in an easy chair at that end o' da' sofa---- GREN [looking Vic earnestly in teh eyes]: "Vic, I want-to apologize to you....!" VIC [surprised]: "Apologize?! Uh...what FOR? I mean, it was ME who needed to "apologize", Grencia.....!" GREN [looks down for a moment...]: "No, Vic--You've ALREADY "Paid" for teh hurt you did to me, AND to teh others back on Titan--in fact, you've paid........a little too much.....But, since what happened at teh Hotel, when you......fell.......I've come to realize that I may have done YOU some "wrong", also, by blaming you for some things that were my OWN fault....." VIC [still puzzled]: "I.....don't understand..." GREN [getting up and pacing for a moment, then stopping in front of Vic and looking down into his face....]: "Vic--tonight when I saw you with Rin, watching over her and being such a.....a good "father"--ALL I could THINK about was what I THOUGHT I had lost on Titan, teh "dream" of you and me together with a "family" of some sort, that "never-neverland" that I had fantasized about for such a long time......!" Gren sits down on teh arm of teh sofa, and without QUITE realizing what he's doing, reaches out and tenderly touches Vic's face with his fingers---and is SURPRISED when Vic DOESN'T *flinch*, as expected! VIC [very calm, speaking quietly--]: "Grencia--I DON'T like being lonely, and if I thought it WOULD "work" between us..........." [almost sadly--] "But---I'm not gay, and I think we both know it can't "be"--it just wouldn't work, NOT like we'd want it to, not really......" Gren [dropping his hand and *sighing* deeply]: "I know, and you're right, it WOULDN'T---and THAT'S what I need to APOLOGIZE for, Vic--for not "letting go", not REALLY, of ALL teh feelings I had for you, teh wuv as WELL as teh Hate, for trying to "make" you into a person you NEVER were, for blaming you for MY OWN "blindness"......and for lying to you." VIC [quizzical]: "Lying? Well, I supected all along that it WASN'T really a "drug-deal" that you wanted, or I wouldn't have brought along Shin--I STILL wish I HADN'T brought him---" GREN [looking a little "ashamed"]: "No, NOT that lie--I let you think all this time that Revenge was my ONLY "motive" for "setting" you up like that, when teh truth was that I was dying, Vic--dying from teh abuse those experiments AND prison had done to my body over teh years.....And, I was too much of a coward to commit suicide or just PLAIN face my death as it came, like a soldier SHOULD, so I used YOU to end my life, and that WASN'T "right", not even THEN, when you would have gladly murdered me for just being in your way! So I want you to know that I AM sorry, sorry for it ALL, and sorry that YOU had to DIE a SECOND time for me to come to this realization about myself.....!" VIC : "Grencia---would it have been an........"unpleasant" death?"
GREN [wondering why he asks....]: "It would have been at teh very LEAST a "lingering" one......"
Vic *SIGHS* heavily, then--
"Do you think we can EVER stop apologizing for WHAT we did to each other in teh Past, and just call it "even", Grencia? Can we JUST be FRIENDS from now on, and nothing "more", as if we've never met before? I'm not "afraid" like I WAS, NOT any more, certainly NOT of you or "what" you used to "represent" to me, and I'd just like to "enjoy" teh life I have LEFT, while I can......Do you think we could "TRY"?"
Gren relaxes then, as if a great "burden" has FINALLY left his shoulders, NEVER to return.......
"All RIGHT, I'm willing to TRY! But can you answer a question for me?"
VIC [a-lil' "worried" at first, then smiles]: "I'll "TRY"..."
GREN [enjoying teh "joke", also--]: "WHY do you almost ALWAYS call me "Grencia"? Everyone else I've ever known, EXCEPT my father, always call me "Gren"....."
VIC [unsure]: "I'll call you "Gren" if you prefer, but.....teh ONLY name I EVER knew was "Vicious", more of a DESCRIPTION than a real name, so when you first told me your FULL name, I was "impressed", in spite of myself--and, although I never would have admitted it to myself THEN, I WAS "impressed" by you, "Grencia"--you DIDN'T FLINCH when I killed that scorpion, even when you THOUGHT I was gonna murder you--I knew you were TERRIFIED, AND you were SUPPOSED to be........but you never flinched or even asked me "why" and you managed to earn my "respect" in that moment, in SPITE of all that came "after"........no one ELSE ever DID, then............" *sigh* I'm so glad things have been resolved between them... Now maybe Gren won't have such sad eyes anymore... As to how I felt when Amon asked me to wildkat's party: I think that sums it up pretty good.

Epilogue.......As Alucard "settles in" fer' da' night, "hangin'" in Snap's closet, he "listens" to teh results o' his earlier "mental comments"--- Snap is hummin' happily-ta' herself, occasionally even burstin' inta' bits o' song! Amon is feelin' both GOOD n' "relaxed", for teh FIRST time in YEARS--he even smiles n' whistles a-bit' as he makes his way home..... Vic n' Gren are bundlin' Rin up in a blanket for teh walk home---Gren carries her half-way, then trades off with Vic before turning back, each man sharing teh "burden"....and now, maybe teh "benefit", too, as NEITHER may not be QUITE so lonely and hurt anymore with each other as friends...... [Alucard smiles to himself as he knows that Midvalley will "benefit" from teh change in Gren as WELL!!!] And Daniel n' Stampers? Oh, HELL, there isn't MUCH he could "do" for THEM, anyway! Alucard *chuckles* to himself as he "listens" to them play a game o' "tickle n' SLAP" all teh way HOME!!!! ----------- Okay, Snap--teh "Dinner Party" is NOW over--HOPE-ya' like teh "results"! I HOPE to FINISH teh "Willow/Amon" story tomorrow--I ALSO have my "Daniel n' Stampers inda' Underbrush" story to "tie-up"--PLEASE be patient! It's a LOT o' writin' and I've had less time than usual this week....... That's fine. Mostly I wanna do a little scene between me and Willow in regards to teh aftermath. And you can introduce Xander and Seras anytime when you finish and then sometime later, I'll bring in Pip. I also have and idea for what Amon can do with his time since he isn't "hunting" really anymore...

Me: Oh great I think its stuck Mario: STUCK! I didn't know they could get stuck Me: Well neither did I, Its not like Ive done this before Mario: You haven't? Me: No! What do I look like I go around doing this stuff all teh time? Mario: Well no, but I thought you would at least have some experience. Lisa: Ok Im back, don't worry Mario I'll take over from here. Mario: Thank God, Its starting to get really messy Lisa: Well this sort of thing isnt for teh weak of stomach Me: Lisa hurry I don't think I can keep her down too much longer! ANdy: Whats going on in here (we all look up) Me: Well its about time you got here! Andy: HUH? Lisa: Damn it boy, you really are something, you spoil this girl rotten then you dont even wanna help her give birth! ANdy: Give birth? Me: Hello! Earth to ANdy, Onyx is having her baby. ANdy: Oh yea sure I knew that Mario: Hey I think I see a head! Lisa: Good now ANdy, I need you to grab teh colt around teh neck ANdy: But my clothes will get all messy ME: If you dont do what she says you better believe things are gonna get messy!
So anyway, Onyx's baby has been born. And Stampers Im sure your glad it didn't drop out during your wedding. But now I hafta name teh damn thing. By teh way its a girl!
