☪Full History☪
Bellina was born into a Nurturing family of two caring Visects, of course, they all loved each other equally. About a week after she was allowed out of the den, still a viscling, she decided to go exploring by herself. She soon found herself in a tall grass meadow, with many unfamiliar scents. She looked and ran around wildly and excitedly at the new place, leaving small trails of trampled grass behind her. Then out of nowhere another Viscet, her age, ran into her. "Meep!" She exclaimed from surprise as they tumbled and somersaulted slightly for about a foot. Once her dizziness of the fall wore off she looked to her side, seeing a male Viscet about her age. He turned to her rubbing his head. She tilted her head slightly, letting her silky curls drop to the side. He blinked a couple of times before talking, "Oh! I'm sorry! I was just uhh-"he got up quickly, shaking out his fur, "I'm just gonna-"Bellina stopped him quickly, "Wait don't go!" She stopped him with her voice, "My name is Bellina, want to be friends? My mum always told me I should make friends with whoever I meet so...?" (you need to add some kind of division of who’s speaking here unless you are splitting the text somehow I think)"Sure! I’m Albie, wanna play a game?" Albie said opening up a bit noticing Ballina wasn't a foe. Bellina smiled, "Yah! how’s-" She was cut off by a thundering growl and a much larger Viscet landing in front of her newest and only friend. The older Viscet bared his teeth at Bellina menacingly, scaring her out of her fur, keeping her frozen. Soon after her parents showed up, and pushed Bellina behind them, a deep grumble in the dip of their throat. "Fersina, Foniso,"Albie’s father had said dominantly/questioningly. "Ash" they replied the same, all was silent, but there was burning tension in the air. Bellina and Albie stood stiff, scared of what would happen between their parents. Ash narrowed his eyes to them, not saying anything, he picked up his viscling and turned around, walking east. Bellina looked to Albie as he looked to her before turning his head, full of guilt. Bellina looked up to her parents. before she could say anything her mother had picked her up and they started to walk back to the den, which was west. Once she had gotten home with her parents they were outraged, "Never go near him again! Understood?" they told her harshly, "But why! He was nice!" she tried to convince, "Nice or not, we forbade you to see him, now get some rest, it’s getting late." they told her, she gave a sigh. "Yes Mum, Dad," She went into the back of the cave and laid down, and went to sleep. Six months passed and now she was 8 months, and now could walk confidently on her back legs, her parents have given her permission to go out whenever she wanted, as long as she was back by sunset. One Day, when she was out and about, She Ended up finding herself back at the tall grass meadow. but now she could just look over all of the grass. Wow, I was really vulnerable... she thought to herself before seeing something move on the east side. she squinted her eyes to get a closer look, its head turned to look at her. familiar eyes struck her. Albie! she thought to herself as she started to him at the other side of the meadow, and not to lie to herself, but wow he had changed. Albie had turned to her and had much more of a reaction, and had to keep from his jaw dropping, she was beautiful after all. Her mane with wavy curls rested over her shoulders, and a beautifully toned body, well to his eyes anyway. She gave a smile and waved to him. She gave a smile and waved to him. He awkwardly waved back to her, she held back her giggle before calling over. "Meet me at the Main river in a few hours, By big rocks!" She called over the meadow to him, she saw him give a nod before disappearing through the trees. Bellina started toward the main lake, Happiness filling her. Soon enough she had reached the lake and noticed he was waiting there for her. "H- hey Bellina! its been forever!" He said with a smile on his face. "I didn't think I would see you again since... Well yah" his foot circled in the dirt. Bellina walked over to him, "it's ok! I'm just happy you came." She told him with a small smile. He looked up to her and smiled back. "So, what have you been up to?" He asked, sitting by the river. She sat next to him, "hunting.. Training, the usual routine. I turned 8 months a few weeks ago and now I can finally get some freedom to myself... As long as I'm back by sunset." She paused, "so what about you?", she asked curiously. He looked across the river. " boring life schedule, i was allowed I to go out and a bout at 8 months.. Now I'm nine but still. As long as I'm back by sunset too they don't try to come and look for me." He looked back to her,realizing how her eyes sparkled his heart skipped a beat. They laughed at talked until the sun hit the horizon. She looked to him, pushing a curl out of the way of her eyes, "how's tomorrow?". His head tilted slightly, saying he was confused. She gave a small giggle to his cute action. "Can I see you tomorrow? How about at mid day, at this same place?" She asked him, he chuckled "oh Sure! Totally!" She smiled at his realization of what she had asked. "Cool, I'll see you tomorrow!" She gave one final wave of good-by before disappearing though the trees. Since that day, bellina and Albie had continued to meet up every day. Sometimes they would usually go somewhere other than the big rocks, but they mostly hung out there. Of course there parents would suspect things sometimes. But now they wash of each other's scents before they leave each other to go home. There bond between each other grew stronger every day. When she turned 10 months old Albie finally brought up the courage to ask "We should leave, so we don't have to hide this anymore," he told her, hoping she would take it the right way " you'r right... But what about our parents? What would we tell them?" She said slightly worried. She wanted to leave with him to get away from the hiding... But she still loved her parents either way. He Stared back at her. "b-but they would never approve of us. if we leave, we can be free! any you know as much as i that just us talking to each other could rial up a fight between our families." She paused thinking about what he had said. before bringing a smile onto her face, and gave him a little nudge on the shoulder. "hey cheer up! I'm still here with you, aren't I?" He smiled, "Your right, but give me some time to think about it?."They looked up to the sky, large dark clouds had started to cloud in the distance. looked like a storm Was comeing in later on that night. At the time of sun-set the time came that they would part again untill tomorrow. "Ill see you tomorrow," she told him Happily, giving one last hug before turning away to head back home. As soon as she had gotten home her parents were waiting for her with stressed looks. Instantly Bellina asked what was wrong. "Were leaving, bellina"
"What?" She asked, as if she had misheard her father.
"Were leaving, It's too dangerous here, Too many Enemies." Her mother had explained. "we were confronted today by ash and storm... Ash was the one who almost took your life when you where younger. They have collected quite a pack and we have no chance of fighting them. if we aren't gone by tomorrow we don't know what will happen."
"So you mean to tell me that were leaving?! Because of some stupid threat?! you told me your great grandmother had lived in this cave Fersina!" Bellinas mother had looked away from her daughters outburst, "I know that! but there is now a dangerous vincent pack out to get us now!" Bellinas ears picked up to the sound of light raining outside, the storm had started early than she thought it was. "But we Can't leave! I Can't leave!" She told them, upset more than angry. "Why does it matter so much to you? your barely even here anymore! going places every day, and sometimes bringing back food. you never bother to protect this cave anyway, why is this so important to you?" her father stated back to her. "You wouldnt understand!" she yelled back at them, "I Cant Leave!" Her Father narrowed her eyes at her. "Then tell me, why you can't leave." Rain had started to hit the ground harder now, picking up pace. Her ears fell against her head at her fathers words, speechless. "i-i can't tell you!" she muttered to them. Her father lashed his tail slightly. "And why not?" There was a long pause. "I'm done lying to you..." She sat, and looked away from them... "I'm gone everyday because ive met another vincent. Who is also having some rivalry problems. They want to leave but..." She became silent, scared of what they would do. Her mother spoke softly, "Ask if they can leave with us then." Bellina didn't look back to them. "Its Albie, Ashes son." She Heard her mother take a step back, yet felt her fathers burning gaze seep into her pelt. "You have been hanging out with that piece of dirt! I thought we had raised you better!" He yelled at his daughter. "He is different dad! He knows me! He is nice to me! you would never understand! you havent met him before, have you?!" She Yelled turning back to them, tears forming in the back of her eyes. Her father "Don't make this hard Bellina, I know its hard but we have to leave alright! ill put this behind us untill we find a new place to stay, now lets leave before the storm gets worse!" She looked at her father in some-what horror, his words where filled with rage and she had never seen him like this. "N-No!" She told him. He instantly hit the side of her head though discipline, his long claws made a cut though her cheek. her mother watched at her mates rage, eyes widened. bellina backed away slowly feeling blood drip off the side off her face. "Bellina, im so-" She had cut him off with a scream, "I hate you!" before running out of the cave as fast as she could. Rain instantly drenched her pelt and left no sent trail. "Bellina Wait!" Her father yelled after her. Bellina contiued to run way from the cave as far as she could go. Thunder started to crash though the skies and lightning lit up the dark clouds. Once she had gone to the only place she felt safe, the big rocks by the main river. She felt horrible to what she had said to her parents. she raised a paw to her cheek and feeling her cut. she winced in pain before bringing it back down, her paw covered in blood was quickly washed away from the buckets of cold rain. She shivered as she felt her pelt become more and more cold. She started to cry more thinking about it again, and now her senses feeling the pain of her gash. Thunder crashed once more and lightning lit up the sky. Soon enough she had started to feel numb, She stood up slowly shaking away her tears. she gave a slow sigh before starting to try and walk back. Thunder gave another loud roar, But out of surprise lightning clashed nearby, striking one of the oldest, largest, oak trees in the forest. Instantly she saw the deadly spurr of orange and red rize from the top of the tree. Out of instinct she instantly darted toward her home. Once she had gotten there she noticed her parents weren't there waiting for her. "SugarCanes!" She huffed under her breath, "They must of gone looking after me," She Left her cave and started toward wherever she thought they would of gone. "Mom! Dad! Where are you!!" She yelled past the rain and thunder, wandering aimlessly in the forest calling her parents names. The storm contiued to get worse, soon it was hard to see though the rain. And even worse, the fire had Almost reached her, staying as much is possible not to get burnt. Finally, her ears picked up the faintest; Bel--llin---a! She instantly went toward the sound. She brought up the courage to leap over the flames and into the fire. "M-o-m! D--A--D!" She Called into the fire, Then finally, she spotted them. Not caring about anything she rushed toward them, they did to. "we have to get out of here, " Her father had commanded quickly before giving off a terrible hack, "this way," He called, She and her mother followed quickly behind. Almost out of the flames, BEllina heard snaping and cracking. She Stopped herself. "Mom Dad, Wai-" A LArge tree had started to fall, Bellina Jumped away thinking her parents new. once all the ask and smoke had cleared from the tree fall she instantly saw them, stuck under the large oak. She rushed over the them, Her Father was killed instantly from the fall, since he had tried to protect her mother. Her mother Clearly had her back legs crushed, since they where stuck under the tree. "no! No, no! THat wasn't supposed to happen! Mom COme on, Lets grab dad and-" Bellina started to hack from all of the ashes entering her lungs. Her mother gave a week smile, "Please leave, we will always love you ok? Just go before you end up like us.. Never look back ok? Just... focus on the present, never dwell on your past." Bellina Cried, "Please, i can.. i can get you bouth out.. Just don't worry." Her mother smiled, "I knew I Raised you well. But please, your father would of wanted you to leave, he would of wanted you to get out of here" Her mother has started to cough up blood mixed with ashes, Slowly dieing. Not being able to watch this anymore, bellina decided to listen to her mother. "I'm So sorry, this is all my fault." She Spun around and left, regretting anything she had ever done. While running she could hear her mothers hacks stopping, signaling she had met her fate. Bellina Had just made it out of the fire in time before dying of suffocation.. She gasped for the fresh air as she tried to continue to run. once she had finally crossed the second creek she skidded to a halt and breathed heavily. She Watched as her home was destroyed by the fire as she drank from the stream. then she instantly remembered. Ablie! she Started to panic, he was the only other vincent she actually understood and knew. "i have to go back and search for him once the fire is over, my parents wouldn't forgive me if i put myself in danger again.." She held back tears, /No more crying... regain your strength bellina. She laied down by second stream and sighed feeling useless and guilty.. /Its all my fault/ (WIP)

Brief History:

Valac's point of view ;
I remember a time ...I was about five years old I never really had a family before I was just abandon in the forest scared and alone. I didn't think ill ever have survived if it wasn't for Harley being in my life they saved me and for once I think I could say they were like a guardian to me.
It all started off in the national park of Ireland I remember the smell of trees clearly and how me a five year old boy was shaking cold I hid myself away As I watch creatures ... They hunted and groups eating small mammals and sometimes bigger ones. Yeah I have to admit the viscets scared me, I could barely sleep as that small child I was thinking about how the viscets could use their sharp teeth and claws and rip me up and eat me alive.this became a daily routine for me ,avoiding the Vicente and trying my best to get food for myself though at this point I felt like I wouldn't be able to make it, I myself was just a child,a small child at that how could I possibly survive?That is how I met them,how I met Hartly.
I was now 10 years old, and I had stollen some clothes from a tourist from the park.It was a cold winter in Ireland I shivered in a small cave of mine not even having a bite to eat due to the fact that I haven't found really anything that could last me a great deal for the winter , and the fact I was scared to try and get meat for myself due to viscets running about. I felt my fingers numb at the tips as my tails curled around me fore comfort blinking their eyes at me with concern and weakness. I felt my eyes grow tired and sooner or later I blacked out without even knowing that I did.
It was at this that I woke up to warm soft fur...the softest thing that I ever have touch it brought chills down my spine as I opened my eyes only for a large tough to lap a crossed my face I bit my tough to stop myself from screaming as i scary end to a corner of the room. The viscet looked dark and scary just like all the other viscets that I've seen roaming around at night with their glowing eyes looking for something to take a bite out of . I shivered cold and scared now as the viscet Stood up on their hindquarters causing me to close my eyes ...not wanting to have to watch myself be torn apart preparing myself for the worst.
Nothing happened ...I waited a few good minutes..long minutes before opening my eyes the viscet has stepped out into the light...they were a young viscets of bright colors of awe and wonderment with a symbol of some sort of horse with a horn on its head. The vices tipped it's head furrowing their eyebrows in thought before letting out a puff of white cold air and walking closer."sta...stay...back" I pleaded and as though with understanding they took a step back pulling their head back with shock before letting out a small wine. I sat there for a good long time before realizing that I I could of been frozen alive.....remembering the viscets warm fur against me my lip quivered "you saved me....didn't you?" I said tilting my head and with understand
Then they nodded their head with a "yes".
I stood there not believing the creature I feared all this time ...could understand it it felt so unreal.i found myself walking closer holding my hand out now , the viscet pulled there head away before slowly putting there head in my hand. I felt myself petting down their muzzle then into their mane."you and me can be friends...just don't eat me " I said jokingly
And that is how I met my bestest friend

Hartly's point of view (7 years later);
I looked over to Valac with a glare like he was stupid .. The 17 year old really needed to stop playing these ridiculous game that could get him hurt "oh come on Hartly lighten up will you" he said stroking my head making a pouting growl petrued from my mouth as I rolled my eyes 'humans..' I thought annoyed as Valac pulled out his sword and walked into the water looking for any signs of life in the small water source. 'Your not going to catch fish that way dork' I thought as Valac Seemed to spot something and stab at it only for him to have hit a rock and fallen over onto his bottom his tails letting how hissing noises and bit at the air and Valac let out "UFT!" Then a groan. I laughed at this showing my teeth. Valac seemed annoyed " don't make me make the unicorns existing like in that movie!" They grumbled and I remembered when we had sneaked near a cabin were their was a few humans here and their watching a movie " the last unicorn" I made a dumbfounded look and walked over to the water on my hindquarters swiping my tail in the water causing it to splash on him. " okay that's it!" I heard him yell as he tackled me down dragging me into the water and for the rest of the day we spent their splashing water at each other in till fingers started to sponge up and my legs were tired of letting to keep myself in the water.
We returned to the shore breathing deeply and gasping for breath with smirks on our faces "I'll race you to the cave!" Valac said as he already had slipped on his shoes and started running . My eyes lite up in excitement as I raced him to the cave .though he had a head start I knew that I had more stamina with my long legs, I soon caught up to him and slid myself into the cave curling into a ball And smirking at him as he caught up to me crossing his arms and making his casual grumpy face at me 'god I love this kid' I thought laughing to myself.

Companion description/image:

Valec is a seventeen, almost eighteen, year old boy who tends to be outgoing and speak his mind, even if it’s best not to be heard. He would like to say he’s brave but like everyone else he has his weak points. When he was a small child he actually feared the viscets and other things, like green beans and the dark, but as he grew older he wanted to learn more about
them.
Not the green beans and dark though ≧◡≦

He met Hartley in Killarney Ireland and though they at first didn’t get along they eventually grew fond of eachother. They are generally opposites though they do have some stuff in common such as the color purple and an interest in mythical creatures They found that being different can be a good thing sometimes for they teach each other to try and experience new things. At first Valac was worrisome and somewhat fearful of the viscets and their kind, but after meeting Hartley he found that they are not something to fear and that they can even teach you a lot, even without words.

Companion: Jace the Platinum Sugar Glider.
Relationship With Jace: Shown throughout the stories! ♥
Finding Jace: Stars glittered brightly in the darkening night sky. Jupiter hung low over the large lake. The tiny egg glowed with a light blue tint in Aster's paws. She sniffed it and held it as it gently cracked. This was no normal earthly egg and she knew it.. this was a star's egg. Aster had kept it concealed with damp leaves and dirt to hide it away from predators. She had found the egg within the groove of a tree branch, high off the ground. Aster had found comfort in singing to the tiny egg throughout the days and nights that she shared with it. Aster crooked one side of her lips in a half smile, half smirk kinda way and waited patiently. Suddenly tiny claws showed themselves and an even tinier nose smelt the world opening around it. Seeing Aster the creature instinctively hid back in it's shell. Aster's gentle voice coaxed the tiny galactic animal from it's comforting shell. The creature resembled most closely a platinum-colored sugar glider except the places that would normally be a light-ish grey were instead glowing with a faint blue tint. She named him Jace meaning 'healing' because of the hole he filled within her lonely heart.

Brief Background: Aster was not born on the earth and although she has no tangible evidence to show others, she knows it. Aster always has had a constant longing for 'home' and has never felt such comforts. She drowns herself in trap music because it gives her a sense of another galaxy. Aster also has a special... gift. She is able to see stars, galaxies, and planets as if they were as close as the moon is to the earth. She wishes she could share her gift with others but knows it is hers alone and cherishes it.

History: *Before Jace*
Aster's home planet was one by the name of Itxaro, meaning 'hope' in Basque. Although she didn't know it, Aster had been spared a miserable life of ruin amidst her planet which was overthrown by chaos. The creatures among the planet vary widely but all are born from stars. There is no conception or natural way to be born, rather when a star begins to die it lets out an 'egg' so to speak. Once it lands on a planet, the egg hatches to reveal a creature. Aster's planet recently had a being of chaos hatch and begin to destroy the peace that had reigned for over 200 years. Aster's egg was being cared for by Queen Veronica. With her power and resources she was able to send Aster to another planet.. Earth. As a viscling Aster attempted to fit in with others. She tried to find a group to call her own but constantly found herself to be an outcast of sorts. Everyone loved her but she still felt distant. Aster considered herself the 'Jack of all traits but the master of none." She had always been mediocre at everything, granted it was more than most and she enjoyed being able to do everything, she wanted to be great at something. As she grew to be a teen, she began to realize she had powers. She tried to shrug off the evidence but soon it became undeniable...

Aster sat staring at the galaxies before her while the evening sun caused her skin to sparkle as if she were a star herself. Flowers whipped wildly around her and the trees shook. Startled, Aster took to her feet and left the field towards the cliff that hung over a valley village called Grits.. yes, Grits. Aster sat on the cool rock and drew her claw down one side while watching the village lights begin to flicker on in each building. While she sat her paw began to tingle. Looking down Aster stared wide-eyed at the glowing pieces of rock beneath her paw. She scratched a deeper line into the rock and watched as the pieces that cracked began to sparkle. She furrowed her brow and began to walk away. These weird occurrences had been happening for days and she knew she couldn't deny them any longer. A thought flashed across her mind and with a wild look in her eyes she spun and slammed her paws, claws and all, into the rock. Shimmering pieces of what looked like glass splashed onto the rock. After a while the glow would die down and disappear. Aster stared into the distance as an idea clicked into place. With a crazed grin, Aster turned and sprinted through the woods. Her endurance, much like everything else, was mediocre but at least she could hold her speed for longer than most. Pulling her holographic knife from the tree where she hid it, Aster raced wildly back to the large cliff overlooking the city. Gasping for air she skidded to a stop and flicked the knife out. Aster stabbed the knife straight into the cliff, she knew it would damage the knife but she could make more. Instead of shattering into colorful pieces, the place where she inserted the knife began to glow and a glowing circle about the size of a bouncy ball appeared. Aster confusedly stared at it. Soon she began to carve circles and stab it lightly and harder in certain places. The sun had set and she sat on her haunches staring at the product of her galaxy-induced rampage. Aster was finally able to confront who she knew she really was.



*After Finding Jace*
Aster grumbled as she sharpened her knife on a rock on the banks of a little river flowing throughout the forest. Flicking his ear up over Aster's hair Jace smirked, "What was that?" Aster laughed, "You heard me, you turd!" "Yeah, Yeah.." Jace clambered off of Aster and dipped his toes in the river. "Well do you?" Aster looked intently at Jace, waiting for his reply. Frowning Jace stared back at the water, "No." Aster flicked the knife shut and set it on the bank before sliding into the water with Jace back atop her head. Jace gripped her hair as Aster dove under the cold water in the shades of the trees on that hot summer day which would never be forgotten in either of their memories.

The sun bore down on Aster's delicate skin as the trudged through an open field with little shade. Looking up her and Jace saw the galaxies as bright as if it were night time. At the base of the mountain Aster flopped to the soft, cool soil, "I want to go home..." Jace shook his head and climbed onto Aster's hip, "We can't and you know it... he probably doesn't even exist." With a fire in her eyes, Aster stood and threw Jace onto her shoulders before sprinting the climb up the mountain. She huffed as she pulled her body onto a large rock and sat for a break. "Tired?", Jace teased. "NEVER!", Aster shrieked as she picked Jace up in her teeth and hauled herself over another rock. She jumped from ledge to ledge up the steepest part in the mountain. As the day began to fade to night they made it to a large-mouthed cave, seemingly empty. Aster turned her head to look out over the mountainside but suddenly everything went black and the last thing she saw was the whole world tip sideways.



Jace's head spun as he slowly sat up. One paw to his head and one holding him up, he let his eyes adjust to the dark cavern that he and Aster appeared to be in. Looking to his left he saw Aster sleeping deeply in the dirt of the cave. Jace crawled to the only opening in the room and found himself looking into another room. We must be in a pretty intricate cave, he thought to himself. Jace froze as he felt a shadow pass over him. A feather landed on his nose and he whipped around before being pinned to the ground by a talon the size of his body. "Name," the giant bird that looked much like a Philippine eagle stood over him with a green aura radiating from his feathers. Jace stammered through unrealistic words before finally whispering his name barely audible to his own ears. The bird eyed Jace with glowing green eyes and lowered his beak within an inch from Jace's face before suddenly being slammed against the cave wall by an angry Astraea. The bird squawked his disapproval but allowed Aster to pin him. Aster's curly locks fell around her face near the birds own menacingly smiling face. "Brock?" Aster's words echoed throughout the cave as she awaited the bird's reply. "Indeed... and you are?" Aster backed off of Brock and allowed the bird to stand. "The name's Astraea, but please feel free to call me Aster!" "Alright Aster..." the bird motioned for the two to follow him into another room, "...care to state your business?" "We want in." The bird froze and tilted his head in Aster's direction, "Excuse me?" Astraea hated being so firm but she needed him to understand.

Aster met Brock's eyes head on, "We. Want. In." Brock continued leading them throughout the cave until they exited the tunnels and made it back to the mouth of the cave only to enter another room on the left of the cave. Brock sat in a pile of his own soft feathers and a squirrel which glowed of red popped his head from a hole in the back. He slid over Brock's nest and settled under his wings looking to Brock for an okay to speak. Brock silently nodded and looked back to Astraea as the squirrel spoke, "Redox here fellas!" Sitting atop Aster's head Jace whispered into her ear, "Why is he speaking like that?" Aster ignored the question and waited for Brock's reply. After some time of contemplation Brock stood, "Fine. You can come. Delaney is coming as well though. You will have 32 days. If you don't make it back at midnight on the thirty-second day then you won't be coming home. It's getting late, we leave tomorrow at noon. You can sleep in the back room where you woke up in." Aster didn't ask who Delaney was. She simply nodded and headed back towards where they had first awoke with Jace. The night was silent in the anticipation for the next day. Noon came ever so slowly and soon Aster and Jace found out that Delaney was a crazed monkey who wasn't even a galactic creature. She simply wanted to avenge their planet, Itxaro.



Aster helped Delaney and Brock shove the giant rock from the back of the cave and slipped through the tiny crack. Once inside the room Brock and Delaney separated two pieces of an unearthly rock and waves of blue crackled like electricity as it turned into a portal. Jace clung extra tightly to Aster's hair. Ow, Aster ignored Jace's tightening grip and watched as Delaney disappeared first, followed closely by Redox. Brock motioned the two in, "One at a time. You wouldn't want to morph." Aster nodded and gently coaxed Jace forward. He turned with a look of hesitation but felt comforted by Aster's sweet smile and stepped through the portal. Aster followed quickly and left Earth far... FAR behind. Aster found herself falling through what appeared to be the stars for only an instance before crashing and rolling to the ground of Itxaro. Standing, her smile instantly vanished. The planet was covered with red ash and not a creature was found within miles of the flattened planet. Aster found Jace knocked out cold among the ash and picked him up. Delaney stood taking in everything while Brock went in search of Redox who was nowhere to be found. As if she knew where she was going, Delaney took off to the west. As the ash whipped into the wind the whole world shook violently knocking Aster to the ground and separating her from Jace.

As Aster stood on wobbly legs, Jace found his way back and crawled shakily into her hair, "Where to?" "North," Aster said with confidence as they headed over the desert-like expanse that used to be home to lush forests and creatures of all kinds. They headed North into the night. Approaching two in the morning Aster missed a step and fell to the ground. With a sigh she lay there while Jace untangled her hair. The two fell asleep only to be awoken by blood curdling screams at sunrise. Aster bolted upright and Jace clung to her hair so as not to be flung off. Whipping her head to the right Aster saw the earth crumbling away and it was rapidly coming closer. Without a second thought Aster was on her feet sprinting from the disappearing planet. She found herself running East with a few other creatures including a Rhino, a Giraffe and a Beetle. As the sun moved higher in the sky the creatures slowed to a jog no longer fearing the crumbling portion of Itxaro that they had left behind. Without knowing names they had befriended the three creatures running with them and Aster sat on the back of the female Giraffe while Jace held onto the horns atop her head. The creatures kept a slow but steady pace well into the afternoon until they came upon what appeared to be a destroyed city. The only terrifying thing was that it was not only inhabited by terrifying creatures but the creatures were constantly dying amidst the destruction without a care for the life that was being lost.



The Giraffe stopped, "I don't want to go in there so I'll let you guys off here." Jace slid down her neck and back into Aster's hair watching as the Beetle and the Rhino continued into the city. "Thank you," Aster smiled and quickly walked to catch up with the Rhino and Beetle. Once in the city it only got worse. The creatures appeared nearly diseased with their eyes almost fully black. They gave wary glances towards the newcomers and avoided them with extreme distaste in their eerie black eyes. Jace hid in Aster's curly hair, "This place is creepy." "I agree. Keep your voice low Jace," the caution in Aster's voice distressed Jace a little but they headed on with a fake confidence. The creatures' colorful glows now all seemed a black or grey. A sickly looking dog sat on the curb staring at his paws. Aster approached him cautiously, "Hello? Sir?" The dog lifted his head and narrowed his one green eye at her, "What do you want?" His other eye was black as night and creeped Aster out so she tried to avoid looking at it. "What's happening here?" The dog's eye widened, "Where have you been?" Aster chose her words carefully because Itxaro creatures didn't tend to like outsiders. "The name's Aster, I'm not from around here. I've been lost in the desert where the world is crumbling and I have no idea what is happening?!" The dog seemed to believe her, "After Galek... Master Galek took over the world we just kinda... gave up. We... You can't stop him."

Aster shook her head, "Well how did this Galek..." "Master Galek!", the dog corrected her quickly while looking over his shoulder. Aster nodded slowly, "How did Master Galek take over?" The dog seemed to ponder the question, "Well it started a few years ago..." Sadness caused tears to well up in his eyes but they quickly faded, "With him being a being of chaos the entire world tried to chase him down and destroy him. The government got pretty close and from what I've heard he was badly wounded and looks terrifying. Anyways, as I'm sure you know, beings of chaos seem to send out beacons to other beings of chaos and soon there were nearly 1500 of them on the planet. Then this disease..." The dog again had to catch his breath, "This disease started taking over all of the creatures not born of chaos. You just kind of go numb to all emotions and don't care anymore, not to mention the physical side effects..." Aster had been so caught up in the story that she had barely remembered his black eye. Suddenly Aster remembered that she didn't even know the guy name, "Hey, what's your name?" The dog looked at Aster, shocked at the relatively typical question... "I'm Ryan. Just call me Rye." Aster was hoping the dog was comfortable enough to help her now. "Do you happen to know where Galek... Master Galek resides?" Wide-eyed the dog backed away from Aster, "No.. no, no, no!" Aster tried to calm him down, "Ryan, quiet... please! I need to meet him." Ryan shook his head viciously, "You don't know what you're getting yourself into Aster, but seeing as I have nothing else to lose..."

Ryan led Aster and Jace to a dark tower with a large moon behind it, "How typical..." Aster laughed at Jace's comment whispered under his breath. Ryan stopped at the large, open gates, "I won't go any farther... sorry." Aster nodded thanks to the dog and her and Jace headed up the hill. There were no doors to the castle so Aster went right in. "This is going to be so typical but..." Aster's whisper turned into a yell, "Hello?!" Suddenly the ground began to shake and crumble beneath them. Aster slid forward but jumped back away from the falling floor but as she jerked back Jace flew forward into the hole, "JACE!!!" Aster slowly backed away, tears flooded her eyes, "No... no... no!" A dark figure stood at the top of the staircase with a crooked smile, "Oh Aster... you've made a terrible mistake..." Fear flooded Aster's body like a wave and she could barely see through the tears on her face. "Jace," she whispered. The maniacal looking shadow laughed horrifically and suddenly the ground tore away from Aster's feet. Aster screamed as she fell and desperately tried to save herself but there was no escape. Aster saw the ground coming up fast and a small form already lay at the bottom.

At about the time Aster should have hit the bottom...



she woke up...

________________________________________________________________________________

Amanda's eyes whipped open and she breathed a sigh of relief while her heart beat a thousand times a minute. She smiled down at Kelso's soft snoring while he slept in the crook of her arm. After allowing herself to calm down Amanda shook her arm slightly as she whispered, "Kelso... wake up." Kelso blinked his blue eyes up at Amanda, "What is it," he said groggily. "You have no idea," Amanda huffed while the warm sun beat down on them from her window. Amanda and Kelso lived in a tree house in a huge red oak tree not too far from a small town called Plexton. "I had this dream where we were like from another planet! And it was taken over by this creature and long story short the creature like killed us!" Amanda ran all her words together in her excitement and attempt to tell Kelso everything. Kelso laughed, "Is that all?" "Well there was a bunch more but I can't really remember all of it..." Kelso smiled, "Interesting story, if you remember anything else then I'd love to hear it!" Amanda jumped up, "Oh! Oh! Well first off your name was Jace and mine was Aster and you were a lot different... full of snarky comments." Kelso looked taken aback, "Haha, well.. whatever works! I'm gonna head down to the store and help Spencer(A Viscet) open up the shop." "Okay," Amanda smiled and picked up a brush to untangle her curly hair.



Amanda slid down the ladder to the lush forest floor and trotted her way to Crix, her shop. At her shop she sold all sorts of remedies for colds, injuries, and other ailments along with everything scented including flowers and on some days even foods and drinks. Once at her little wooden shop she walked in through the open doorway, "Hey Spence!" Spencer smiled as he pulled things out to sell, "Hey Mandy!" Amanda watered the hanging flower pots and the flowers around her little shack. Out of nowhere Hayde(A Viscet), slid in front of the shack with a rose in his mouth, "Whle Hllo Thur." Amanda laughed while Spencer shook his head and Kelso rolled his eyes. "Get in here," Amanda giggled. "So me and you for the picking today?!" Hayde awaited Amanda's response. Amanda poured an almost empty jar of poppy seeds into a nearly full one, "Actually me and Spence are heading out there today... sorry!" Amanda gave a cheesy smile. Spence grabbed a basket that Amanda had woven herself, "You ready? I actually got to make a run to the city later." "Yeah, one sec!" Amanda grabbed her satchel and tucked two glass jars into it. She smiled and followed Spencer to the field about a half mile away. The two spent the day gathering all kinds of herbs and plants, (A Few Can Be Found Here).

"Hey Mandy?" Spencer looked at Amanda with his warm brown eyes as they headed back to Crix, "Wanna come with me to the bakery in the town?" Amanda smiled shyly, "Of course!" Walking back into Crix, Hayde jumped up obviously after sleeping on the job. "Haaayyddeee," Amanda said shaking her head. Hayde smiled with that of a child who had just been caught, "Sorry!" Kelso sat on the table that jutted out into the woods a little, "Got some herbs for me to sort through?" "Why of course," Amanda smiled pulling out the two glass jars she had filled. Spencer shoved his basket into Hayde's arms, "Yeah and you sort through this." Hayde glared at Spencer who stuck his tongue out in reply. "Hey, Mandy... let's get goin'!" Amanda spun around with a fork in her hand and glided it through her hair, "I found a dinglehopper!" Kelso gave her a wink and motioned towards Spencer with his shoulder. Amanda shook her head with rosy cheeks, "Come on Spence." After walking the mile to town the two stopped at Rodger's Bakery. It was owned by a human named Rodger but he had a pet viscet named Falgo so he let them shop there. Amanda opened the door that dinged and called out, "Hey Rodge!" Rodge looked up from the customer he was serving, "Hey Mandy, nice seeing you guys today!" Amanda smiled and flipped her hair behind her shoulder while making her way over to the counter. Falgo stood up and he picked out a blueberry muffin for Amanda, "Here ya are darlin'!" Amanda curtsied and took the muffin from Falgo. Falgo's boyfriend, Greg, snuck up behind Amanda and tickled her. "Hey," Amanda spun laughing, "Quit it you two!" The two guys smiled at each other, "We're putting on a fireworks show in four days time... wanna come?" Amanda looked to Spencer who nodded his head excitedly, "Yeah, we'll be there!"



Amanda and Spencer had gotten home shortly after sundown and Amanda lit a few lanterns in and around Crix so the critters would know they were still open. Hayde leaned on his elbow snoring as he kept dozing off and jerking his head back up while Spencer swept the shop. Amanda sat with Kelso creating something she had seen in her dream that night. "No wait... I think that piece goes over here... wait no... there!" Kelso fell onto his butt, "Woman, you're killing me here," he laughed. Amanda smiled, "Sorry." The two were adding cut up CD shards to a bird bath. Early they had started creating an animal out of glass shards and it shone light all over the shack where the light hit it. A few weeks went by and soon Amanda started selling them... to humans! Humans were walking the mile out to her little wood shack for her amazingly unique artwork. Amanda even managed to get Greg and Falgo to come and do some spray paint art that they gave away in the streets of their small little town for free!



Amanda climbed up the tree house as lightning flashed in the distance. Kelso sat on a pillow, "You might want to close the window." "Oh yeah? Lazy butt," Amanda knocked Kelso over playfully as she shut all the windows and pulled down a few of the curtains. Kelso flew around their home and turned on a few lanterns before setting the table. Kelso was an unbelievable cook. Amanda laid on her bed and pulled out a book to read with her headphones in her ears. Suddenly there was a knock on their little hatch door but nobody heard because Amanda had her headphones in and Kelso had his boom box blaring in the kitchen. Hayde sat at the bottom of the ladder in the pouring rain, ears drooped with a dreary mind. Amanda took her headphones out as Kelso jumped on the bed, "Dinner's..." "I already know what you're gonna say," Amanda stopped him. Kelso eagerly looked up at her... "Okay go on and say it," Amanda said rolling her eyes. "Dinner's ready Man!" Amanda fake laughed, "ha... haha... so very funny." Suddenly Hayde pounded on the door again as Amanda went to sit down. She squealed and fell to the floor. Kelso stood on the table and shrugged when Amanda gave him a confused look. "Who is it?!" Amanda waited for a response but the one she got was pretty slurred, "Ish Hyd." "Hayde?!" "Ysh." Amanda laughed while she opened the hatch to see a drenched Hayde, "Hey Hayde!" Hayde climbed up into their home, "Haha, hey Mandy!" "What're you doing here? Shouldn't you be home by now... no wait... you should be home by now!" Hayde rolled his eyes at Amanda's rantings, "Yeah, yeah... My sister kicked me out." Hayde frowned and looked at Amanda with pleading eyes. Amanda turned to Kelso who begrudgingly nodded. "Alright you can stay until you get a place of your own."

"Yay!" Hayde jumped up, "So what's for dinner?!" "Oh no, no, no. You better sit you're butt back down. We don't have enough for you," Kelso shook his head at Hayde. Amanda really didn't want to share her food either but she decided it was the right thing to do. After dinner, Amanda and Kelso threw some pillows and blankets in a corner for Hayde and the two of them headed to the bed they shared together. Amanda pulled the covers up and curled in a ball while Kelso sat on the other pillow. "Do you think Hayde just wanted an excuse to come over and see me?" "Nah, he seemed pretty true to his word," Kelso said looking out the only open window at the pouring rain. Amanda laid there looking out the window in the silence of the storm until Kelso spoke up, "Are you lonely?" Amanda rolled over and sat up to face Kelso, "No! That's absurd... why would I be lonely? I have you." Kelso smiled, "Okay, we're always honest with each other Mandy... I meant like do you want a boyfriend?" Amanda mulled over the idea, "No, not really. I really meant it when I said I have you. I don't want to have to open up to someone new, ya know?" Kelso was satisfied with her response and nodded with a gentle smile before cuddling up against Amanda's side. Amanda wasn't sure if she meant what she said but she laid back down with her back against Kelso's and slowly dozed off to the sound of pitter patter on the roof and a light buzzing in the distance.

________________________________________________________________________________

[ The following are modified excerpts from the EXTREMELY long story I wrote. It was just way too much to include. There was a rhino that trashed Amanda's shack and a human in a ghost sheet that kept showing up around Amanda (it was an angel ) that all happened before this. Plus Itxaro was destroyed and Aster and Jace had to flee to another planet where they got separated and la-dee-da... so yeah, this was just so you understood why Amanda has two 'lives'. ]

Aster's eyelids were heavy as stone. After a few minutes of struggling she gave in and rested her head back on the cold cement. There was a groan and Aster heard the voice of Jace echoing off the walls of what felt like a small cellar, "Amanda?" Aster sat shocked, "Whose Amanda? Jace is that you?" "Jace...", the voice trailed off, "Yeah, I'm Jace." Aster's adrenaline started pumping and her eyes finally flicked open but adjusted rather slowly to the dark of what Aster believed to be a well. After adjusting, she noticed Jace leaning against the wall of the well. Jace nodded to Aster who looked at him with confusion, "Why aren't you acting normal?" Jace shrugged off the question, "You should be more concerned about where we are." Aster angrily glared at Jace, "Well... okay. We appear to be in a well." Jace snickered, "Well yes... but... never mind." Aster was really frustrated but let it slide, "Seriously Jace, why are you acting so... odd?" Jace stared at Aster and she wondered what she was missing. "Do you really not remember?" "Remember what?", Aster whined.

"Why can't you remember Amanda my dear," the Shadow stood at the top of the well. Aster and Jace's eyes shot to the top of the well. "Did you like my trap? The bottom is just a painted mattress, smart right?" The two sat silently in the well. "Not very talkative anymore are we? Doesn't matter. You two are just the creatures I need. Realm Hoppers. Suddenly Aster's curiosity struck, "Realm Hoppers?" "Yes my darling... Realm Hoppers. I need you to think for me dear..." Again Aster cut him off, "And why should I?" Jace flicked her and Aster again gave him a confused look. "Because, if you would let me finish... You are Amanda... Amanda is you and you are Amanda... Getting it my dear?" Aster sat on her rump and thought hard. Faint views of a shack and a tree house flashed in her mind. Spencer. Hayde. Falgo. Muffins. Herbs. Amanda. Aster caught her breath when she saw herself sleeping in the tree house through the pouring rain. "What's going on?!" Aster looked to the Shadow for answers but he stood staring down at her silently. "Galek." Jace growled, "Galek?! Do you know where he is?!" The Shadow laughed... "Oh sweet idiotic creature... I am Galek." "Why do you pause so much," Jace cried out. Galek shook his head, "I don't like you. Only the pretty one," he smiled winking at Aster.

"Anyways, I brought you two hear because I'm desperate for help back on Earth... Please don't speak until I'm finished." Aster sunk to the ground as they listened and Jace curled in her arm nook. "My name's Ed back on earth just like you're Amanda and you're Kelso," Galek said motioning to them separately. "After the zombie outbreak I was separated from my family... only to find out they were brutally murdered! Not even by zombies! By other humans and viscets that wanted their food!!" Aster lifted her paw but the raging Galek didn't notice her so she spoke out, "Galek!" He froze and eyed her suspiciously but nodded for her to speak. "What "zombie outbreak" are you talking about? Where me and Kelso are sleeping right now there are currently no zombies... zip... nada..." Galek laughed and then sighed while sitting on the edge of the well, "Sweetheart, your friends... Falgo and Greg... and that human, what's his name?" "Rodger," Jace added. "Yes... Rodger... Rodger is actually the leader of your group." "Group? Okay seriously Galek, what are you talking about?!" Rodger huffed at Aster, "YOU HAVE BEEN SHELTERED! Go back! Go home! Explore beyond your precious tree house home and tell me what you see!" Aster and Jace eyed each other, "How do we go home?" "Simple... go to sleep." The two rolled their eyes in hopes for a more reasonable answer. "Here," Galek disappeared and reappeared back throwing something into the well that burst and let out fumes causing the two to go unconscious.

________________________________________________________________________________

[ Again, this was a modified excerpt from the real story I wrote... tried to shorten it so you could get the gist because this is by far my favorite story I've ever written! ^-^ ]

Amanda jerked up in bed to see Kelso already staring at her. The gas must have reached him quicker because he's smaller, Amanda thought. The two sat silently until Hayde's snore could be heard in the other room. "Oh I forgot he was here," Amanda whispered quietly to Kelso who nodded in agreement. Kelso curled up on the pillow and just laid there quietly while Amanda tip-toed into the kitchen. Amanda smiled when she saw Hayde sleeping soundly in the corner but she knew she had to wake him for protection on her journey. Amanda squatted beside him and poked him, "Hayde." Hayde lifted an eyelid, "Yes?" "Will you come with me and Kelso to explore the forest?" Hayde sat up groggily, "What? Mandy you're crazy! Have you looked outside?!" Amanda walked towards the window and lifted a curtain, "Yeah I know." Hayde leaned into the corner, "Soooo, can we wait until it eases up and is light out?" Amanda pulled out a chair and dropped into it, "Yeah, I guess." "What's this about anyways," Hayde questioned while rubbing his eyes. Amanda started with 'This is a long story' before spilling out every little detail that she could remember to Hayde. Hayde stared wide-eyed at her, "Mandy, I don't want to sound harsh or anything but are you sure this wasn't just some insane dream?" Amanda honestly considered his idea but she truly believed she had been in another realm. She had felt it and tasted it and heard everything as if it had been as real as the paws before her now. "Maybe you're right. We'll talk more tomorrow. I still think we should explore anyways!" Hayde smiled and nodded at Amanda before laying back down in his makeshift bed.

The next morning Amanda left Hayde to eat breakfast with Kelso before darting off to Crix. She blurted out every detail she could to Spencer and requested he go with her to get Falgo, Greg, and possibly Rodger. At about noon the two returned with Falgo. Greg and Rodger were too busy with the shop to come but Falgo was eager to expore. All the time they were at the bakery, Rodger had looked so guilty and kept turning down Amanda's stories that it made Amanda extremely nervous but she tried to ignore it. Climbing up into the tree house last, Amanda found everyone sitting around the table, "Hey! Where's my seat?", she laughed jokingly. The guys all sat around the table eating nuts and berries that Amanda had sitting in a bowl in the center of the table. "So you guys ready to explore?" They all nodded and Falgo motioned her over, "Check this out!" Amanda walked over and saw the plan they had drawn out of the nearby forests and city. Amanda laughed and took a red berry and smashed it in the center, "How about we just start from here and see where it takes us?!" The guys all 'yeah'd' and agreed before jumping up and sliding down the ladder. Amanda chuckled to herself while picking up the chairs before following quickly behind the guys. [okay chuckled is the weirdest word]

Amanda hurried to catch up with the guys who seemed overly eager to explore. They rushed through the forest at a North West angle for about a mile and a half before getting a little worn out. All the while there had been a constant but very dim humming in the background of their minds. As they neared the second mile the group wanted to just turn around but Amanda kept them going, begging to just go one more mile. As they slowly approached the third mile point, the buzzing had now come into the forefront of their mind and Spence finally mentioned something, "What is that noise?" The group shrugged, all except Falgo who had frozen in his tracks. The group all turned and looked at him before switching their gazes to follow Falgo's gaping jaw and pointing paw. They weren't sure what they saw at first except for the 20 foot tall fence. 15 feet of it was made of blocks of concrete while the top 5 feet were a simple link fence with barbed wire that was obviously electric because of the constant buzzing. "Well," Hayde said trying to break the silence. "I want to know what's on the other side of the fence," Kelso said. "Same," Amanda and Spence said simultaneously. They shared a funny look at their jinx before continuing on towards the stone wall. "Let's just follow it. It has to have a gate somewhere," Falgo seemed to be questioning his statement but they continued along the side anyways.

Amanda swore she could hear sounds from the other side but it was probably just because she was so nervous. As the daylight faded and the stars came out the group began to round the wall. It was around 5 in the morning when they finally came to a large black fence that stood as high as the wall. Rushing up the group looked out but all they could see was more forest. There was a road that ran under the fence and there was another fence a little ways off surrounding the fence they were already in. As a third precaution there was even a barbed wire fence surrounding that fence! The group stared in awe. They never realized how protected they were... but from what? Suddenly Hayde hit his tail on the metal gate making a loud clanging sound considering the gate appeared to be hollow. The gang all hushed him and Hayde rolled his eyes before sitting on his tail and falling over clumsily. "Seriously... all this way for nothing?!", Falgo angrily yelled. "Wait...", Spence stuck his ear in between the metal of the gate to listen (it was too close together for his head to fit through). Off in the distance they could hear something that sounded like a low moan. The sound began to come closer and soon there were more of them. Suddenly, what looked like a human could be seen passed the barb wire fence in the distance. "What is that?", Amanda looked to Falgo for some answers. Kelso sat on Amanda's head and whipped his head back and forth motioning no before whispering, "Let's get out of here Mandy." "We should go," Amanda voiced Kelso's opinion louder and the gang agreed.

They were no more than 15 feet away when guns began blazing. The loud machinery scared all of them and they ducked to the ground. Humans from inside the gate had rifles, machine guns, and the lot as they shot the humans past the barb wire fence. Suddenly Hayde said what they were all thinking, "Are those zombies?" "As much as I hate to say it... they most definitely are." The group stayed close to the ground as they sat contemplating the new truth that had been hidden from them. "I wonder who else knows?," Falgo seemed to be implying his own owner may have known. The gang had all gone to their own homes for the night to relieve the terrifying scenes in the form of nightmares all by themselves, although Amanda and Kelso always had each other. That night the two drifted off but only Amanda left the earth...

________________________________________________________________________________

Explanation of The Stories: Well I figured I'd give an explanation for the crazy stories. One, I thought it was a cool twist that hopefully would make it pretty interesting. Two, I really wanted Amanda to be a home town kinda girl with crazy big dreams but also a viscet from another world because she looks like a star to me. Another little secret is that Amanda's "dreams" aren't truly her dreams... in fact they're a different reality but still very much real except Amanda can shut out Aster if she really wanted to and not return. IF I get the chance to own this wonderful viscet then these stories will most definitely expand... I already have ideas of a rhino trashing Amanda's shack and what happans to Itxaro.

Also, the true form is below... I wanted Amanda's dream reality, Aster, to seem more realistic to the reader so I included a 'fake' form above.

Name: Amanda (Mandy)
Derived from Latin amanda meaning "lovable, worthy of love".
Companion: Kelso the Platinum Sugar Glider.
Relationship with Kelso: Shown throughout the stories! ♥
Meeting Kelso: Amanda was an abandoned viscet, meaning her parents had left her on the doorstep of a pretty loving family. This family consisted of a mother and her two children, a girl and a boy. The girl was Riley and she was 12 while the boy was Ramond and he was only 3. Amanda was a young viscling and got sick of Ramond pulling on her but eventually she just allowed it and it created much of who she was allowing her to tolerate more than most. Living with humans also gave her certain skills that wild viscets wouldn't know nor use but she used them to create her tree house empire (in a later story) and to help her survive (also in a later story). One day when Amanda was laying in a window sill there was a loud noise on the window right in front of her. It had all happened so fast that she didn't know what it was so she ran out through the doggy door to see. Sniffing around outside the window she could smell the creature but it had apparently left until she heard, "Back off!" Amanda was taken aback because she had never thought of herself as a scary creature, "Whose there?" "Back off," the creature insisted. Amanda took a few steps back and said the cliche, "I won't hurt you." "Yeah right." The creature still stayed hidden. Amanda, a being of curiosity, broke through the bushes to find Kelso sitting with his back against the house, "Back off..." he cried desperately. Amanda laughed, "Seriously, just come inside so I can help you out." The sugar glider begrudgingly agreed and Amanda carried him inside. As the sugar glider healed he finally admitted his name was Kelso and the two began to bond quickly. In a matter of weeks the two were inseparable.

Most of my online hobbies include gaming, and there's a bit of a broad spectrum there, and roleplaying. Although, I have yet to actually roleplay on CS. I'm not sure if that will change any time soon, but its a possibility, if I can finally become a member of an active adoptable species.
