Settling In (Open)

[Cinema Snob]

Living Room

Morpheus went over to observe the ice cream treats, he didn't get to experience that type of thing much during his life. He decided to try the banana split with chocolate ice cream and with marshmellows, and he seemed to enjoy it as he gratefully ate it. As the two girls talked, he smiled, glad to see them get along and reunite during this rough period of time. The man smiled as Nani and lilo eventually ate ice cream with him.

Lilo meanwhile nodded calmly, with a hint of regret "That's true. We weren't prepared. We didn't expect such a fuss. We wanted to get in and get out but one of the kids from Facilier's side spotted us. If stitch were around we would've gotten out easier but you're right. I know we need each other a lot. And it's ok, I get what you're saying. I promise I'll be careful" Lilo then smiled joyfully as Nani accepted that she could have the sundae she wanted and Willie gave her what she wanted. Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips. She grinned happily and started eating it. She turned to Nani as she continued talking and nodded to make sure her sister knew she was listening. "Mmmm. This is great" She said before turning to willie "Thanks willie!"

"Dude! Your magic cooking powers are so hardcore!" 90's Kid with his mouth slightly full. Quickly he ate some more and responded "The ice cream I think for now is pretty good dude! I love ice cream myself. It's the best thing ever!" He continued eating with willie. He pondered about Willie and asked "Hey dude, quick question. Just curious but how did you get your powers anyway?"
XXXXX

Like Littlefoot, Bambi was curious but was worried he might get sick from it so he didn't eat any ice cream and just listened to the puppies chat. Eventually he turned to Littlefoot and responded "Man Linksano really was smart to find a way to get us all this food. How's your food by the way littlefoot?"

Kiara didn't really want the ice cream. She was content with her meat as it was. She was rather a picky eater and didn't bother with that type of thing. She turned to the other two boys who seemed to start a conversation and seeing her and bambi not seeing eye to eye often, she stayed out of it. She turned to start actually listening to the three girl pups chatting
XXXXX

Darla turned to see Freckles get hurt, homesick and afraid. Darla knew what it was like to feel homesick and alone. She didn't want Freckles to be so upset, so she quickly hugged Freckles and allowed her to cry on her shoulders. "I know. I do too. Mum and dad are probably worried but we'll find a way back home you'll see. We just need to keep being hopeful and let the grown ups find a way. Yeah we've been waiting but if we just keep waiting we'll get out of here. Right Pepper?" She turned to Pepper who also looked worried over freckles.

Pepper saw Freckles respond about her homesickness and felt guilty. She couldn't keep the positive charade for long, seeing it wasn't really helping matters with Freckles as it used to. Freckles was here longer so it was hard for Pepper to understand but she knew her "twin" was hurting and Pepper knew better than just smiling. Pepper heard Darla speak about some hope and Pepper was quick to respond. "Definitely! Don't be upset Freckles. It'll be ok. Trust us. We have each other and we need to keep our heads held up so we show Cruella that she can't take advantage of us anymore" Pepper joined Darla in hugging freckles, hoping she would feel better.

Medical Bay

Snob nodded listening to roses and smiled hearing she would wait for him to be ready. He was glad Roses was his friend, without that snob might be as hopeless as Chester was being at this moment. Snob then hissed slightly at ma-ti's reference again "Yeah. We're lucky. We didn't lose more people. We're lucky by this point, we just need to appreciate it and all that. At least I should" He smirked slightly but it looked more sad than anything. "God I hope that kid's in peace like Hal said before I left. You know that ginger beared dude with the shakespearen attitude"
XXXXX

Lottie turned and responded, holding onto Chester as he cried "No no dear. You weren't a coward. You're a hero. Remember that. Whomever told you that you were a coward, they're wrong. I know as much as anyone that you're far from the truth about yourself" She then hugged him tighter as the bum wished IHeart wasn't suffering like she was. "You're right. She didn't deserve this but neither do you. All of us here never deserve the treatment we were put under by those.. those..oooh I hate them so much I can't think of a good word for them" Lottie tried to cheer Chester up but it seemed to not entirely work until he complimented her. Lottie blushed "Well thank you dear. It is nothin' really. I just want people to be happy and whatnot"
XXXXX

Joe turned and nodded, agreeing with Chick. Maybe Maleficent and Willie would know or Ma-Ti was finally free from the villain's grasp. He turned as Chick eventually had her stomach growl and ask for some food as well as get some for the other medical members. He quickly nodded with a grin "Never fear chick. Stick right there. I'll get some food. Just let me get roses and stuff" He quickly went over to Roses, giving Snob a apolegetic look before responding to Roses "Sorry to bother you two but can you help me get food for Chick, IHeart, Snob and Chester? They haven't eaten in a while I don't think"
XXXXX

IHeart resisted the urge to just argue, Harvey was normally a person who was a uncle or big brother figure like Linkara so it was enevitable that he would just feel bad or blame himself. She just gave a forgiven and assuring look, she wasn't smiling quite yet but she definitely looked fonder and less upset. IHeart then looked downward as the singer responded that he too was very happy to see her alive. If she was dead Harvey told her that he would never handle it as well as other people wouldn't of. IHeart responded sadly "I know. I would feel the same way if it happened to you or any other of the guys. You guys being here is great. Ma-Ti and I love you guys a lot" She then hugged him tighter when he pulled her in for another hug after her confessions and assured her that he and many others were still around and that they cared. She nodded in his chest and responded in a muffled voice "I won't. I don't. I always know you're there to have my back" She looked up and finally gave another grin, and responded softly "You're right harvey. Ma-Ti's gone but his memory isn't"

[Harvey Finevoice]

Living Room:

Nani smiled at Morpheus knowing he was giving them a sisterly moment. She was so grateful to have both of them in her life. But she'd spent most of the time with both of them. She needed to get to know more people in the army now. And with Kim and Morpheus here she knew they would continue to watch out for Lilo like the others had done.

Nani turned back to Lilo listening to her.

"I'm glad you see that now. I don't want you to do anything crazy like that. At least not without a proper plan and backup." said Nani.

She paused turning to Morpheus. She knew her sister was determined and she had been through a lot getting the experiments and fighting Gantu, Hammstersveil, Draken, and Shego to name a few villains she'd gone up against.

"Morpheus do you think you could help train my sister? I don't want her out there. But she's just as stubborn as me. Maybe even more. If she's going out there I want to make sure she can protect herself." said Nani.

She paused and turned glancing at Willie hearing Lilo thank him.

"Yes. Thank you Willie. These are delicious." said Nani.

XXXX

Willie blushed at the praise he was getting from everyone. He hadn't expected his deserts to be such a big hit. He'd have to help out more in the kitchen then as he knew a lot of good recipes and with his magic he could make food a lot quicker.

"Your welcome." said Willie.

He went back to eating his desert his blushing fading but he was still happy. He paused turning to 90's Kid as he asked about his powers.

"I was born with them. My family's a line of sorcerers. Although they're all gone except me now so I can't really ask where our powers came from." said Willie.

He paused as he went back to eating missing his parents. He was an only child so when his parents died he was alone. That's why he'd stolen the harp and he now realized how foolish that had been. He just hoped no one held his past against him here. 90's Kid didn't and he was grateful for that.

XXXX

Littlefoot grinned as he finished eating. He paused looking at the others with a grin.

"It was great. I'm stuffed. Come on guys let's go play. Come join me when you guys are done." said Littlefoot.

Tender Heart having finished his meal as well nods in agreement.

"Sure. That sounds like fun." said Tender Heart.

The pair now now done ran outside to the back yard to play.

XXXX

Freckles smiled as Darla and Pepper hugged her and she listened to her and Pepper.

"Thanks you guys. I'm so glad the two of you, Rolly and Cadpig are here with me." said Freckles.

She smiled knowing they were right. She just had to believe they would one day get home again. She paused looking sad.

"But what if Patch and Penny don't want to come home? I don't know if I could leave them here." said Freckles.

She paused as Littlefoot and Tender Heart decided to go play since they were done nad headed outside. She grinned. Playing sounded like fun. She returned to her bowl and it wasn't long before she'd finished turning to her two sisters, Kiara, and Bambi.

"Come on guys. Let's go play." said Freckles.

She grinned running out to the backyard.

Medical Bay:

Chester looked at her in surprise. Everyone had looked at him like an idiot and a coward. He'd even been called that several times.

"Everyone's called me a coward. Even I have. Critic, Chick, Joe, even Iheart. I was just the stupid coward to them. Someone who made funny reviews but wasn't someone you went to for advice or help. The one time someone asked me for help to get the Necromicon I failed." said Chester.

He paused as she thanked him for the comipliment.

"Your welcome. I know you mean well but I've come to realize I'm useless to this war. I couldn't even keep one of my best friends safe. I'm no good to anyone. Maybe I should go before someone else gets hurt because of me." said Chester.

He stood up heading to the door but clutching his side and winced grabbing onto a nearby bed to steady himself.

"Damn. Guess I'm still too weak to move." said Chester.

XXXX

Roses frowned realizing luck was the wrong word.

"I wouldn't call it luck. Ma-Ti's dead. You, Chester, and Iheart are hurt. I beat myself up so much for killing Holli but now I want to do is make Malachite suffer. My friends are suffering and there's nothing I can do about it." said Roses.

She burst into tears as she began to wipe them away. She nodded in agreement with Snob as he hoped Ma-Ti found peace.

"He's died twice saving us. He deserves happiness and peace wherever he is." said Roses.

Roses paused as Joe came up to her saying they should get food for them.

"You're right. We'll be back." said Roses.

She sniffled wiping the fresh tears away again as she headed upstairs. It didn't take long for her and Joe to get some food and drinks as they headed back downstairs setting them on the table.

"Alright. Anyone want some sandwiches? Pasta? Brock made a lot of food." said Roses.

XXXX

Chick smiled at Joe.

"Thanks. You know you're a great guy. I guess it's no secret I liked you since last year. Even after I talked you into that date it just didn't feel right. First Todd and then you. I just have bad luck with guys. I just hope I don't screw this up with Critic." said Chick.

She grinned as he went over to Roses and they left to get food. She paused seein Chester try to go as he looked hurt. She looked at Harvey, Joe, Lottie, and Roses hoping one of them would check on him. The poor guy had been through too much already. He didn't need to pull his stitches or pass out trying to walk around.

XXXX

Harvey smiled at her already knowing how she felt. But it was nice to be reminded.

"Ma-Ti will always be a part of you. A part of us. You tried to be happy once without him. I know you get there again. It will take time but you have us. Don't forget that we lost him too. We all cared about him. Joe, Critic, and Spoony were like older brothers to him. We're still building that statue to honor him. He will be remembered as the hero he was. The statue will be a reminder of what we lost and a symbol to never give up hope. To never give up the fight. Ask That Guy, Facilier, and the others will not get away with what they've done to Ma-Ti and they will not win this war." said Harvey.

If Malachite was here he'd fill him with lead right now. Although the guy had magic so that would be hard to do but he'd find a way to take that sorcerer out for what he did to Ma-Ti. He smiled and hugged Iheart again. He turned seeing Chester stumble towards the door as he walked over to him as Roses and Joe walked upstairs and returned with food.

"Chester? I think you need to lie down. You shouldn't be moving around so much. You're still hurt." said Harvey.

[IHeart]

Living Room

Morpheus saw Lilo after she spoke with Nani continue to eat, he smiled seeing the two girls blossom in their relationship once more. He continued to eat then nani grabbed his attention by asking him if he could possibly train Lilo, and due to being unaware of the secrets she held, he felt that he had a duty now to help by accepting the offer to train Lilo. He smiled and responded softly "Of course. She will be trained with patience and support. I assure you I will protect your sister by training her to protect herself" He then saw Nani and Lilo thank Willie and he shyly welcomed them. He then chuckled as Lilo stated againthe ice cream was good.

Lilo nodded and ate her ice cream, ignoring the small conversation that was going on with morpheus and lilo. She turned to nani and said "This is seriously really good. I can't stop eating it!" She made a yummy sound as she continued eating.
XXXXXX

90's kid continued eating as Willie explained that his powers were in his family's line. That he inherited these powers from his parents but they passed on. He stopped eating then and instantly felt bad for bringing it up "If it bothered you dude I'm sorry. I'm glad you learned these powers though" He tried to cheer willie up or get him away from the question. He then responded again, trying to be cheerful "I'd surf the red sea for the chance to do magic man!"
XXXX

Bambi and Kiara nodded in agreement with Littlefoot to go outside. They finished eating and felt in agreement with Littlefoot to go play. Bambi silently followed, quick to be beside the dinosaur child. Kiara shouted "Heck yeah. Let's just go out. It's nice today" The cub was quick to leave the area to go right to the backyard
XXXX

Pepper smiled, glad that Freckles felt better about this situation. She then paused at the question of penny and patch not wanting to leave. "I don't know Frecks but knowing how much we've been through, the chance of them staying here is unlikely. So let's not bother with that for now ok?" She then wagged her tail at the suggestion of playing "Absolutely! Playing outside sounds fun. Come on, last one outside gets to be the it guy for tag or the seeker to hide and seek!" She ran out passing all of the children in her bountiful run outside in the back yard.

Darla let Pepper do the talking, due to the question being a big worry on her mind too. She tried to get rid of that fear though with the help of Pepper and Freckles changing the subject to playtime outside. Darla wanted to get away from it all and decided to start that now. Seeing Pepper run ahead of them she couldn't help but laugh. She was amused with Pepper's tendecy to be cheerful and more spirited than she and Freckles. She turned to freckles and responded "Let's go catch her before she sneaks off!" She went outside quickly.

Medical Bay

Snob didn't want to make Roses cry, so he felt a bit bad when she did and responded assuringly "He is. I really truly feel he is" He then saw Roses and Joe go on to recieve food for the ones in the medical bay and he felt tempted to help but the two seemed to handle it fine. He then saw trays of food and drinks and with a hint of effort, Snob got up. He quickly went over and gratefully nodded to the two people who brought the said food and responded "Thanks. I was really getting hungry" He then took a sandwhich with ham and cheese, a water bottle and some pasta. He was starving actually. He turned to see Harvey help IHeart and Lottie help Chester go back to their rest. He turned to the others near him and smiled, hoping eventually they'll eat but was content with this instead.
XXXX

Joe smiled to chick's compliment, touched with her words and saw she was trying to make good feelings with him "Chick, it's a pleasure as your friend. I know you've been having bad luck dating wise but you and critic are a great pair trust me. I think you two will be ok" He then sighed about the reference to him and her having a date "Well to be fair I did call you a bitch then we agreed to the date, I guess I drank too much. But it didn't seem right anyway. I'm glad we're still friends though" He then followed Roses to upstairs to get food and came down with it beside Roses. When Snob got food Joe saw IHeart ask for a simple break before she would get it and lottie help chester rest, Joe went over to Roses and saw she had red eyes, the sign of crying. "Hey, roses. Are you ok? I know this is hard but we'll be ok" Joe responded
XXXXXXX

Lottie pondered over Chester's words and responded patiently "Well that way of thinking should be changed. You're a good man and everyone with a brain would know that" She then gasped as Chester said he planned to leave only to limp and clutch his side in pain. She went over also to him with Harvey and responded "Chester, Harvey's right. You're really hurt. Besides, there's food for you. First rest and help your strength so you can eat" She and harvey helped the bum get onto the bed and she responded calmly "As for this "not good enough" business, I wanna let you know that ya'll better drop that ya hear? No more nasty things about yourself. You're brave and useful indeed mister and you're gonna rest" Her tone was nice but there was a passion and firm side to it. Like she was really persistant to chester and didn't want him to leave at all.
XXXXXX

IHeart smiled softly at the fact a statue would be made in Ma-Ti's honor, so his legacy wouldn't go away as she feared, and nodded softly as harvey assured her ma-ti was still a part of her and a part of the army. Ma-Ti was still here, in her heart and memories and in a way that was satisfying to know even if she missed him. She looked up at Harvey when he assured her that the ask thatguy army and facilier's army would not go unpunished and pay for the penalty they put for ma-ti. She wanted revenge for him so badly so it was nice to see harvey felt the same way. She hugged him tightly when he hugged her once more then tried to stabilize herself as the man went over to chester. As he and lottie went to get chester to a bed to rest in and relax with his wounds, she herself felt a lot of pain but the food looked so good. She was starving but also extremely tired. She hadn't had a good sleep in a while. She turned to Roses especially and said kindly "I'm hungry but I just want to rest for right now. I'll eat in a little while but..." She sighed rubbing her eyes with her hand and responded with a yawn "I didn't get a good sleep coming here. Is it ok if I just rest first before I eat anything?"

[Nostalgia Chick]

(ooc: was thinking maybe to let chester, iheart, snob, & chick get some sleep after they eat something. Not really sure what else to do here. we could still continue the thread with the others upstairs. lottie, roses, harvey, etc. could go upstairs and check on them later so we could rp them if we wanted in this thread.)

Living Room:

Nani grinned at Morpheus.

"Thank you. I know how stubborn she is. At least this way I know she's safe and trained." said Nani.

She grinned as she kept eating it as well.

"This is very good. Home made ice cream made by a giant. Well this is definitely a first for me." said Nani.

She chuckled as she some of the other kids heading outside to play.

"If you want to go play with them when you're done eating go ahead. We can hang out later." said Nani.

XXXX

Willie smiled at 90's Kid.

"No it's ok. I miss them but I like talking about them. I try to talk about them or think about them every day. So I don't forget. I had photos and paintings and things they left me but those are all back home. So all I have left are my memories." said Willie.

He paused wiping away some tears. He missed his parents but he would never forget them. He smiled as 90's kid talked more about his powers.

"Thanks. My parents were great teachers." said Willie.

He paused looking at him confused as he said he'd surf the red sea.

"What's a surf? And isn't the sea blue?" asked Willie.

Outside:

Littlefoot grinned as he saw his friends coming out to join him.

"So should we play tag again? Or do you guys have other ideas? I like tag but I don't think we should play it all the time. I don't want to get bored playing it." said Littlefoot.

XXXX

Freckles grinned following her two sisters outside. She heard Littlefoot and nodded.

"Tag is fun. But it's easier for you guys to catch us. And harder for us to catch you because you're faster than us. Maybe we could play something else today." said Freckles.

She liked playing tag but it was annoying that she felt like she or her siblings ended up getting tagged more.

XXXX

Tender Heart smiled as he looked at them.

"Freckles has a point. Tag is only fun if you guys are about the same size. And the puppies are smaller than the rest of you. Perhaps we should play something that doesn't rely on speed. Anyone got ideas?" asked Tender Heart.

(ooc: if we end up playing tag again that's fine. just figured kids would eventually not want to play the same game over and over and over. lol.)

Medical Bay:

Roses smiled at him.

"Gee now I feel bad. I was trying to cheer you up and you end up cheering me up." said Roses.

She grinned at him.

With the food here she got a sandwich and ate it while making sure everyone else had something to eat. She sipped from a water bottle as she watched the others. She sat in a chair next to Snob with a grin. She paused looking at Joe and smiled.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I was just thinking about Ma-Ti. He didn't deserve that." said Roses.

She bit into her sandwich again trying not to cry again. She felt like if she cried again she wouldn't stop. She wasn't as close to Ma-Ti as some of the others but she still missed him. She turned nodding to Iheart.

"You should at least try an apple or something. But if you promise to eat when you wake up then get some sleep." said Roses.

XXXX

Chick smiled.

"Yeah. We're better off as friends anyway. Besides you seem to spending a lot of time with another girl lately." said Chick.

She grinned glancing at Roses and back at Joe. Then they both left and came back with food. She grinned taking a couple turkey and cheese sandwiches, an apple, and a water bottle. She began eating her sandwich.

XXXXXXX

Chester blushed at her compliments. Very few people had been so kind to him and actually complimented him like this.

"Thank you. I thought only 90's Kid and Iheart were that nice to me." said Chester.

He knew he still had to go but the pain his leg detoured those plans. Harvey and Lottie both stopped him and helped him into the bed.

"Fine. I'll stay for now. But once I heal up I'm going. I don't belong here. I realize that now." said Chester.

He paused and whispered softly.

"I don't belong anywhere." whispered Chester.

XXXX

Harvey smiled glad he'd helped Iheart some. He knew she still had a long way to go but it would take time to heal. And he'd be there for her whenever he could. He was then with Lottie helping Chester into bed. He turned listening to Lottie and smiled. She certainly had a way with words. It seemed to affect Chester some. He smiled glad Chester agreed to stay but then frowned saying was going after he healed that he didn't belong here.

"Of course you belong here. You're one of us. 90's Kid, Iheart, Nani, Lottie, Critic... we all care about you." said Harvey.

He looked at him sadly hearing Chester's whisper. He looked so broken and he turned to Lottie with a worried expression. He walked over to her and whispered to her.

"We need to find a way to help him. From what I've heard he's a hero. Just as much as Ma-Ti was. We need to help Iheart and Snob too. I just wish I knew how." whispered Harvey.

[Cinema Snob]

(OCC: Sure. That sounds good to me. After IHeart and the others eat a thing or two, they go to sleep and we just continue the thread by Roses, Lottie, Joe, Harvey and the others go meet the adults or people upstairs and chat with them on what's going on. As for the kids, yeah, I say we do more games I mean kids are pretty creative, feel free to pick one of my ideas or make your own XD)

Living Room

Morpheus smiled as Nani thanked him "My pleasure" He continued to eat the ice cream and responded gently to Nani "I will admit this is my first time eating ice cream in years so this is pretty new to me also" He then saw Lilo thank nani and promise the child would hang out later before going to catch up with the other children. "Perhaps things will turn out better for the children by staying here. It is nice to see the children acting like children for once"
XXXXX

90's Kid frowned sorrowfully as his new friend began crying, immediately the surfer boy hugged his giant friend and responded "Hey dude. It's ok. It's all ok. I get it, I get what it's like to lose people. It's not fun bro" He patted the giant's back before laughing at Willie's questions. He responded "Surfing is using this big board to ride waves man, it's so tuberlar. Like bodacious and rad and whatnot, I'll show you once it's nice and warm outside!" He then laughed again at willie's other question "The red sea is just called that because it's around the meteran-blah-blah sea. Don't know the big name, I'll show you later if ya want" He then ate more of his ice cream and responded "But seriously dude. Your magic can be used for so many things. Like... Making youngblood come to life!"

Outside

Lilo was indeed just about done when Nani responded that if she wanted to play with the others that was fine. Lilo smiled and was quick to finish before hugging her sister "Thanks nani. I'll definitely talk to you later! See you guys!" She was quick to follow the others just enough to hear Tenderheart give out ideas, she was glad they weren't playing tag again, it was starting to get boring. Lilo was quick to pitch in and said "How about we imagine that we're a alien race in one group and the other are adventurous astronauts!"
XXX

Kiara went outside with the others and agreed with Littlefoot "I agree with fearless leader. It's boring by this point! Let's get more creative guys!" She then turned to Lilo and looked confused "Wait what? Nah. That seems too hard" She pondered and responded with a positive smile "I know! Let's play a game where we imagine we're prediators and some of us are prey!"
XXXX

Pepper was outside by this point and smiled as Freckles pointed out tag was hard for some of them to do with Tenderheart backing them up. Quickly she saw Lilo suggest something that she liked but Kiara suggested something less enjoyable. "Nah. Those ideas are fun but I say we pretend to be cowboys and girls, all on the western area like those movies!"

Darla pondered about it then shrugged eventually "I don't have any ideas but I'm open to play anything!" She listened to all the ideas coming around and saw Kiara and pepper and lilo make tons of suggestions.
XXX

"How about we just go exploring the backyard? Like find weird stuff that none of the adults see" Bambi suggested after a while. He shrugged "The best I can come up with by this point" He turned to Littlefoot and responded "You have any ideas littlefoot? I'm open for anything!"

Medical Bay

Snob chuckled as roses sat next to him and he was amused with her response. He just responded "It's fine. No big whoops" He then saw her get upset again and saw joe and roses get closer and he smirked, having a good idea what was going on but Chick seemed to beat him too it. He then saw IHeart talk to chester before admitting to wanting at least a apple and a sandwhich, he saw her go to the table with difficulty but successfully make it and start eating. He smiled, glad that IHeart changed her mind. He patted IHeart's shoulder and responded "I'm glad you're talking kiddo. I missed your voice" He smiled as IHeart smiled back and he continued eating.
XXXXX

Joe chuckled at chick's implication that he and Roses were having signs of a couple. He saw IHeart change her mind as well as talk to chester, which made him smile. He shrugged after a while and just went to get the food and eventually came with it. He sat on Roses opposite side and ate a apple with a cheese and turkey sandwhich. He sighed as Roses showed signs of being upset and he rubbed her shoulder with responding "Hey roses. I miss him too. It'll be ok. Ma-ti will get avengance and whatnot. Hey, roses, don't be upset" His tone was supportive and assuring, knowing roses was just as vunerable as the rest of them
XXXXX

Lottie smiled, glad that her words affected him but was shocked to hear Chester exclaim that once he was healed he was leaving. Lottie was about to object but Harvey did that for her and IHeart quickly objected to it too. She was glad that they were being sincere and trying to help the bum understand he was needed and loved here. She nearly broke down though when Chester harshly whispered that he didn't belong. Her attention drifted to chester to harvey whispering beside her about her exact worries. "He is a hero harvey, the poor thing doesn't know it. You're right. We need to help him, IHeart and snob" She tried not to cry but tears threatened to come down from her eyes. Sighing she responded "Once they all get some shuteye I say you and me take roses and joe and the four of us go talk about what to do" She then saw IHeart change her mind and get something to eat, which made the woman smile. Then she asked for assistance to getting to the bed, and quickly Lottie went over to help IHeart to the bed.

Once IHeart was on the bed, Lottie smiled and responded "Now you get some rest ya hear me. No sneakin'" She was trying to cheer the child up and it seemed to work as IHeart drifted. When asked to help chester get some food Lottie smiled and responded "Of course dearie" Lottie then helped IHeart get tucked in and smiled when IHeart went right to sleep. She turned to Harvey and just went over and leaned against the singer and responded softly "Couldn't help myself. She looks pretty cute asleep"
XXXXX

IHeart immediately heard Roses respond that she prefered if she ate first, and realizing the woman had a point, IHeart eventually nodded but stopped to turn at Chester who said he was planning to leave once he healed. IHeart didn't want to put pressure but she felt like she would crumble too if one of her friends gave up on themselves. She didn't want Chester to leave. Not after all they have been through. IHeart leaned to Chester's bed and responded after hearing him whisper "Chester, you're wrong. If I belong here so do you. You belong with friends and people who care about you. Not with people who tell you that you're nothing. We all care. Harvey, lottie, joe, roses, chick, snob and me. I can't tell you to stay but I'd be especially grateful if you did. Please chester, if I can do anything to convince you I will. You can stay at my house once this war is all over, I'll help you get more movies or something. Just stay with us once you're healed. Please" She saw that her words got to him but she felt it didn't go through his head, and the girl looked extremely guilty.

She decided to just go eat then go to sleep, so she slowly went to the table and saw Roses, Joe and Snob smile at her enterance and it made her feel at home again with these people. She got a apple and a ham and cheese sandwhich only to hear Snob tell her he was glad she was speaking. She smiled than ate her apple first, eventually she finished the apple and the sandwhich was next. She let it digest after a while, she just didn't feel like talking she was just tired, and she asked "Thanks for the food guys. It's really good" She hissed as she got up and asked "Sorry, I guess I need help getting back to the bed" She seemed embarrassed but was shocked of how quick Lottie went over to help her. Eventually she went to the bed and asked quietly "Lottie can you get Chester a apple or something?" At Lottie's response she smiled and drifted right to sleep. She slept soundly and quietly.

Living Room:

Nani grinned at him. She looked at him in confusion as he said he hadn't eaten ice cream in years.

"Were yon a diet or something?" asked Nani, confused.

She smiled and agreed with him. She waved goodbye to Lilo as she went outside to play with the other children.

"Yes. If it was up to me I'd try to send them all home where they'd be safe. Children shouldn't be in a war." said Nani.

She turned back to Morephus with a grin.

"I'm just glad we're together again. I've been seperated from you twice now. And once was enough being seperated from my little sister. I need you to help continue my training sessions when we get a chance. I need to get better. As much as I want to stay here where it's safe this is only a temporary measure. It won't take long for Ask That Guy, Facilier, and the others to learn some of us are here. They have magic and technology and have spied on us before when were at Critic's house. They might already know we're here right now. I want to be ready for anything. Plus this will give us more time together. And afterwards we could go out for a date or just hang out." said Nani.

She grinned at him wanting to spend more time with Morpheus and Lilo. They were the two she'd missed the most being trapped at Ask That Guy and Facilier's bases. Now she was back and she was going to make the most of it. But she also wanted to make more friends here as well.

Willie looked at him and smiled.

"It's ok. I like talking about them. Sure I get sad some times because I miss them but my mother always told me to not bury my emotions. Because that could get me or someone else hurt." said Willie.

He paused listening to 90's Kid and looked at him sadly.

"You know what it's like to lose someone? Are you talking about that boy Ma-Ti or someone else?" asked Willie.

He paused realizing he was prying and felt bad.

"I'm sorry. You don't have to say anything. I know talking about people you lost can be a painful subject." said Willie.

He grinned again listening as 90's Kid explained about surfing and the red seas.

"Cool. Surfing sounds like fun. I'd like to try it some time." said Willie.

He kept eating his ice cream and paused looking at him wondering what youngblood was.

XXXX

Outside:

Littlefoot looked confused at the suggestions.

"Aliens? Astronauts? Cowboys? What are you talking about?" asked Littlefoot.

He paused looking at Kiara and shuddered. He had been prey and that had ended in his mother's death and had nearly killed him and his friends several times in their adventures.

"No thanks. I've been prey too many times running from Sharptooth and other animals. I don't really want to play being prey." said Littlefoot.

He paused looking at Bambi.

"Exploring sounds cool. But there's not much you can find in a backyard though. I wish we could go out to the woods. That'd be fun to explore. It reminds me of home." said Littlefoot.

He paused trying to think of something fun to play.

"Well maybe we could tell stories about our lives and get to know each other better. It could be fun. Or we could just make up stories to tell each other. I used to tell stories with Cera and my other friends back home. What do you think?" said Littlefoot.

XXXX

Freckles heard Littlefoot's question and wasn't sure how to explain aliens, astronauts, or cowboys so she let someone else do the explaining. She heard Littlefoot mention he didn't want to be prey and she had to agree. It didn't really sound like fun and did sound similar to tag. When Littlefoot mentioned telling stories that actually did sound fun.

Freckles paused with a grin.

"That actually sounds like fun. And if we want to take a break from the stories we could go play a game or something and tell each other more stories later." said Freckles.

XXXX

Tender Heart grinned.

"Stories sounds fun. I've been on lots of fun adventures I could tell you about. What do you guys think?" said Tender Heart.

He paused glancing at the rest of the kids who hadn't spoken up to Littlefoot's idea. He knew what aliens, cowboys, and astronauts were but telling stories did sound fun.

Medical Bay:

Chester sighed listening to Harvey, Lottie and Iheart. He knew they meant well. He just didn't feel like much of a hero. He'd at least think about it. After finishing his meal he drifted off to sleep.

XXXX

Chick chuckled seeing Joe go off to talk to Roses. After she finished her meal she set her play on the rack as she headed to her bed and soon drifted off to sleep not realizing how tired she was.

XXXX

Harvey turned to Lottie with a sigh.

"Looks like we'll have to worry about this later. Let them sleep it off. Looks like Roses is a bit upset about poor Ma-Ti. We all are. Maybe we should talk about this tomorrow. Let's go upstairs with the others and try to have some fun." said Harvey.

He turned and walked upstairs taking some of the left over food upstairs grabbing a sandwich along the way to eat.

XXXX

Roses turned to Joe and smiled.

"I know. I miss him. I didn't know him as well as Critic, Iheart, or the others. But he was still a friend. And now he's gone. But you're right. I hope he's in a better place now and that he's happy. Last time he was stuck in the plot hole. I hope he's not back there again." said Roses.

Roses turned seeing Chester, Iheart, and Chick had all fallen asleep. She turned to Snob with a grin.

"Thanks. Both of you for trying to help. I know we all miss him. You should try to get some sleep Snob. We'll all be upstairs if you need us." said Roses.

She paused getting more of the food as she headed upstairs following Harvey.

XXXX

- Time Skip-

Living Room:

Chick, Snob, Chester, & Iheart were now all sleeping. So the group was now coming back upstairs. Roses and Harvey quickly put all the left over food back in the fridge as Brock had already cleaned up the kitchen. Roses and Harvey then joined the others in the living room as Nani headed over to join the group.

"So should we play a game? Maybe cards? Or should we watch a movie?" asked Brock.

XXXX

Roses grinned.

"A game sounds good to me. What should we play? I'm up for anything." asked Roses.

XXXX

Harvey smiled.

"Maybe we could sing karaoke? Or play charades?" asked Harvey.

XXXX

Willie looked at them.

"I'm not much of a singer. But games sound like fun." said Willie.

Living Room

"No. It is just I have not really gotten around to it. Ice cream was rare to have in my world. I had none of the money we have here" Morpheus said slightly saddened, not wanting to get into it but decided to just leave it there for nani. He would confess his past to her at a later time. For now it was just them. He nodded as she wanted to bring the children back to their homes and he wanted that too honestly. He then smiled as Nani confessed that she was happy that she was with him and lilo but knew she needed to not be seperated from them again and asked him to train with her. Which was good because that would give her and him more time together and once she was done, they could always go out or spend time together. Morpheus came closer to her and hugged her "You're right. I do not want you to be put under seperation from me again but I can't protect you all the time. So I might as well help you protect yourself. I say we do indeed train together. Besides..." He gave her a smooch across the cheek "It'll be fun"
XXXX

"Oh well your mom made a radical point. You can't hide your emotions forever" 90's Kid said naively, smiling slightly but frowned again as Willie asked what he meant by losing someone. He knew the giant didn't mean it like that but it caught the surfer off guard slightly. He assured his friend though when the giant felt bad for asking "Hey no worries dude. I meant Ma-Ti. But I guess you kinda figured that out already. Losing friends and family suck eggs but at least we have each other" 90's Kid then smiled again and replied to willie about the subject of surfing "Dude! You'd rock the waves man! It'd be so bodacious!" He then ate his ice cream and saw Willie a bit confused but assumed it as nothing and ate a bit more.

Outside

Lilo blushed, realizing some of the children here had no idea what she was talking about. She blushed slightly more at the idea of being a prediator. She didn't want to do that. It was too violent to her liking. She didn't like exploring either, there was nothing TO explore. She then smiled widely at the idea of story-telling and saw Tenderheart agree. Lilo beamed, immediately thinking of her story and responded cheerfully "I love that idea! So much better than playing half of the stuff I said! If we don't wanna talk about ourselves we can just make up a big story anyway! Let's make a circle on the grass!" She then lead the others to sit in the middle of the yard and get ready to tell stories. On one side of her was littlefoot, on the other was kiara. "OK who's first? Who wants to tell their tale or something cool first?"
XXXX

Kiara rolled her eyes as her suggestion was rejected "You wouldn't really be killed off jeez. Fine, we won't do that. And what the heck are aliens?" She also had very bad thoughts over exploring, there was nothing to do with that since the area was so small so she thought of that to be superfluous. She then grinned at the idea of story-telling "Eh? Why not? Sounds fun. We'll tell our life stories, make up more stories to pass the time and once we're done with that we can think of something. Let's make the game creative if and when we're done with stories that is" Kiara then sat next to Lilo and on her opposite side was Tenderheart. She then stretched when lilo asked who was first, kiara for once did not want to go first. She didn't feel like she had a good idea yet.
XXXXX

Bambi nodded humbly as his idea was politely rejected. He knew it wasn't really a good idea anyway. He then beamed at the idea of telling stories. He had plenty of adventures with thumper and flower he'd love to tell to the others. Bambi smiled and listened to the other children then at lilo's request made a circle around the grass. He sat next to Littlefoot on one side and Darla on the other. He then beamed as Lilo asked who was first "Me! I wanna go first! Can I go first guys?!"
XXXX

"Stories? Oooooh I love stories! Sounds great!" Darla said once the other ideas were rejected and instead replaced with littlefoot's idea of story-telling. Darla really liked that idea more than pepper's or kiara's in her humble opinion. She laughed and quickly went down to sit on the grass. She sat next to bambi on one side and the other was freckles. Darla then saw Bambi volunteer to go first and she responded sweetly "Go ahead bambi. Feel free to tell us your story. I'm actually curious to where you came from actually"

"Stories? Can they have aliens or cowboys in it at least tenderheart? If so then I'm totally in!" Pepper replied excitedly and as the children gathered around, Pepper made a buzzline to sit next to tenderheart on one side and freckles on the other side. She was about to say she was to go first but bambi beat her to it. Not one to be sore of losing a turn to a friend, Pepper wagged her tail and responded "Yeah bambi! A question to answer in your story, why are you called bambi? It's a cool name but is it named after someone famous?"

Medical bay

As IHeart slept, Snob turned instantly to Roses who suggested sleep. Snob grinned widely at the suggestion and nodded. "Alright. I'm bushed anyway. Thanks for everything guys" He quickly went to his bed and realized the minute he laid down, that he was purely exhausted. Tired out of his mind, he quickly went fast asleep. Not far behind Lottie was listening and agreeing with harvey, and grabbed a apple and a bottle of water before following Harvey up the stairs to the living room area.
XXXX

"I know roses and me neither. The plot hole was just a weird thing for him to go to" Joe said, in deep thought at the mere mention of the plot hole. He sighed and rubbed her shoulder, trying to still be comforting then decided to follow her upstairs. He wasn't that hungry and just decided to follow the rest of the others upstairs.

*Time Skip*

Back to the living room

"Dudes!" 90's Kid said as he, morpheus, angry joe and lottie were all upstairs now. They were debating on what to do to pass the time. He turned to harvey and responded "I wanna totally do charades! I've been waiting for this awesome time to beat that game once and for all!" He raised his hands in the air but raised them down when lottie started speaking. When asked to be quieter the surfer very enthusastically nodded "Sorry dudette. Don't know my vocal cord strength sometimes"
XXXX

"90's kid dearie, can you be a sweet thang and hush your voice a bit? The others in the medical room are sleepin'. We shouldn't disturb them" Lottie said assuringly but smiled when 90's kid responded calmly and spoke quietly in apoligy. "It's alright 90's kid. No harm no foul" She then giggled "But I do agree with him, maybe charades or any kind of imaginative game is something to cheer us up?"
XXX

"I'm open for anything" Morpheus said calmly, turning to nani "What do you think Nani?"

"I'm open for anything too. It's up to the rest of you. I just wanna hang out and think" Joe calmly replied

[Deleted]

(Would you guys mind terribly if I added Dash, Cadpig Rolly and Kovu, into this would you)?

*Outside*

Cadpig walked outside it had gotten a little boring, one could only "Center herself" for so long, before wanting to catch up with her pal's. She saw Rolly sit by Darla, and sat close to Rolly.

Kovu had been bored and hoped to try out stalking. His goal today was to try to try to have a little fun and sneak up behind Kiara and pounce on top of her, he loved being able to goof off with Kiara.

He saw Kiara and crouched with an evil smirk.

He quietly snuck up behind Kiara.
