I'd like to thank Xtream, 4get, Soupah, SoulessAce, and Serenity for the use of thier characters in the story! *snugs*
Now, seeing as how most of you know (From "Time Race Part One") that evetually, Tech and Cassidy get married and have a girl, and Ace and Lexi have twins and such, I decided to put this up.
Most of the OCs are NOT mine.
Only Cassidy and Cale are.
I will now introduce you to most of them.
Mairi Lyre: XtreamCrazy of LUO's OC. She is an extremely sweet and kind person. She is Duck's girlfreind. She is not part of the Loonatics' team.
Seth Coyote: 4get~the~world of LUO's OC. He is Tech's younger brother and is married to Quick Gonzales, another OC, and they have a little son, Quinton.
Quick Gonzales: DarkinSye's OC. She is a Loonatic-In-Training (As I like to call her) because of her young age. Tech and Ace are her gaurdians, they decide whether or not she can go on a mission. She speaks a lot of Spanish (but don't expect much in this story XD)
Quinton Coyote: Shared by 4get~the~world and DarkinSye. He is two years old. He has powers of free alchemy (don't ask me to define that) and mind control (Or just mind reading, I can't remember)
Icy Fox: lovegreenanred of LUO's OC. Best freinds with Cassidy. She is Duck's cousin (her adoptive mom was Duck's mom's sister).
Shadow Bunny: SoulessAce of LUO's OC. A ghost-like being in the form of a rabbit. Basically hates the Tic's. *shrugs*
Eric Bunny: Son of Shadow Bunny. Innocent little guy and is best freinds with Cale. Tech disapproves of this relationship.
You have most likely never heard of these OCs because I think none of them have travelled outside of Loonatics Unleashed Online's message boards.... UNTIL NOW.
Before you ask, YES, I did receive permission from each OC's owner before using them in this story. ^^
Prologue: "Favourite Time Of Year"
"Deck the halls with bows of holly! Falalalala,lalalala!"
"Mairi!!!!" Duck whined. "You've been the singing that song for the past three hours!"
Lexi looked at Duck unbelievingly. "Three hours, Duck? It's seven in the morning!"
"I know!" Duck snapped. "Mairi woke me up at four."
Mairi, although she did not live with the Loonatics and was not a part of team, was at the Loonatic's HQ because of one simple little thing..... Christmas. Ever since meeting Duck and eventually going out with him, Mairi had become tight freinds with Cassidy, Lexi, Icy, and Quick, the girls of the team and she visited often.
"I needed help decorating the tower for tomorrow!" Mairi sang out, continuing to run around the room.
Ace slowly walked into the room, rubbing his eyes. He blinked, staring blankly at his surroundings. "Eh, did a Christmas store explode in here?"
Mairi froze, spun around and faced Ace. In a perfectly-voiced immatation, repeated him. "Did a Christmas store explode in here?!"
Duck fell on the floor laughing.
"I'm sorry, Ace! I didn't mean to do it! I really, really, really, reeeeeaaaaallllllllllllllllyyyyyyy didn't!" Mairi squeaked, eyes wide.
"Yeah, yeah." Ace shrugged the accidental insult off.
Meanwhile, Seth and Quick were sitting on the couch, watching the whole situation in great amusement. Seth was Tech's younger brother and had become part of the team after helping them stop something he had actually started. Quick, yes, was the descedant of the ever-so-famous Speedy Gonzales, and the youngest member of the Loonatics, only 16 or 17. Tech and Ace were her gaurdians, basically telling her which missions she could go on and what hse could and could not do.
Seth had his one arm around Quick, while Quick was holding sleeping Quinton, her and Seth's two-year-old son, in her arms. Quinton was beginning to wake up. He stared at the sparkly lights and decorations in awe.
Mairi noticed he was awake. She automatically scooted over to Quick and scooped the little mouse/coyote into her arms.
Quinton giggled. "Aunty Mah!!!" He squealed. Magically a handful of tinsel appeared on top of Quint.
"Awww!" Mairi cooed. "He wants to help decorate!"
Quinton continued to laugh and a huge pile of tinsel about the size of Slam landed on top of Duck.
"Yay! Duck-Duck help!" The toddler squealed again.
Quick stood up. "I'n gonna go see if Cassidy needs help with breakfast."
Duck quacked out from underneath the tinsel and in front of Quick. "You let Cassidy... As in, Aurora CASSIDY Coyote... ALONE.... IN THE KITCHEN??!!" He gasped. "WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!"
"Duck, shut your trap for once, huh?" Seth snapped.
"Besides, Cassidy's cooking in improving..." Lexi added.
"Slowly, but yes... improving..." Quick rolled her eyes at Duck
.GREEN TRIANGLE.
Tech yawned and stretched as he walked into the kitchen. He could smell the coffee from his room, so he knew Cassidy was up.
Cassidy turned around when she heard the kitchen door open. Seeing it was Tech, she smiled and held up a cup of coffee and a newspaper. "Your usual, sir?" She asked, giggling.
Tech smiled back. He took the coffee and paper from Cassidy's hands and set them on the counter behind her. "Yes, please." He said, giving her a kiss.
Cassidy giggled, pulling away from him teasingly. "That's not what I meant..."
Tech pulled her into a tight hug. "My goodness, Cass... You're tense. Something wrong?"
"You know how the girls and I made sugar cookies last night after the kids were asleep?"
"Yeah...."
"The kids woke up before we did..."
Tech laughed, still hugging her. A few moments of silence passed before Cassidy spoke up.
"I love having everyone here, Icy, Quick, Mairi, even Seth... But we haven't had any time alone together in months! I miss it..." Cassidy said, looking up at Tech.
Tech nodded. "Me too..But we're alone now, aren't we?"
"Not for long, trust me." Cassidy added with a giggle.
Tech smiled, still holding her. "Well.. I guess we'll just have to hope that it lasts a little longer.." He nuzzled Cassidy's neck softly. Cassidy blushed and put her arms around Tech's neck.
"Ahem...."
The pair turned around to see Quick and Seth standing at the door, giving them knowing looks. Seth cleared his throat ackwardly. "Uh.....Do you two want to go back to your room or would you like us to lock the kitchen for a while so you can-OMPH!" Seth was cut off by Quick's elbow in his stomach.
"Hacer callar, Seth." Quick mumbled. "Besides, you should be contento for your brother!!"
"Of course I'm happy for him." Seth returned. "It just..... grosses me out... seeing him all over her." That comment earned another elbow in the gut. "Ow! Quick!" He protested.
"Ya know I love ya." Quick giggled.
Cassidy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, me too, Seth." She added scarcastically. "Or should I say, cunado!"
Seth shuddered. "That's worse than seeing you make out with Tech..."
"Your Spanish has mejorar Cassidy!" Quick said, impressed. She had been teaching Cassidy her natural language.
"Muchos gracias, Quick!" Cassidy smiled. "I learned from the best!"
Tech laughed at all three of them. "Come on, Seth, let's leave the girls alone for a while." He winked at Cassidy before leading his brother out of the kitchen. Quinton walked in wobbily just as they left.
Suddenly, Cassidy couldn't move her one leg. She glanced down ans saw Quinton holding onto her leg.
Quick scooped up her son. "What did I tell you about glomping your relatives?" She said, laughing a bit. She set him down on a chair. Quinton watched his mother carefully as she poured him a drink. "Moma!" He screeched. "I don't want milk!!"
Quick gave him a 'I'm not pleased' look. "Quinton Alexander Coyote. Stop reading my mind!" She sighed. "Besides, do you want to be big and strong like Daddy?"
Cassidy pretended to cough to keep from laughing.
Quinton nodded. "Si."
Quick placed the glass of milk in front of him. "Then drink."
Quinton pouted but obeyed.
Suddenly, Cale came flying through the door and jumped up on a chair next to Quinton. "Cooie!" Quinton laughed. "RAWR!"
As soon as those words left the litte coyote-mouse's mouth, a cake randomly appeared in front of Cale.
Cale blinked, then looked at her mother. "Mommy? Can I have hot chocolate, please?"
"Sure, Rosebud." Cassidy replied. When it was ready, she placed the steaming mug in font of Cale.
"Thank you!" Cale chirped before proceeding to take a gulp of it, without even blowing on it to cool it down.
Cassidy sighed. "Just like her father. Tech could drink his coffee straight from the pot if you let him...."
Cale stopped drinking. Quinton was trying to eat the cake while Quick was trying to take it away from him. "You've had enough sugar! Getting into those cookies!!"
"Heep!" Cale hiccuped. A small burst of flames shot from her mouth, toasting the cake.
Quick and Cassidy blinked, staring in surprised shock. Quinton did, then started bawling.
Cale held her hand to her mouth. ".....I FOUND MY POWERS!" She yelped in joy. "IFOUNDTHEMIFOUNDTHEMIFOUNDTHEM!!!" She then jumped off the chair and hugged both Cassidy's and Quick's legs then ran out the kitchen door.
Quick smiled. "Cassidy, I have feeling that you and Tech are gonna have some fun with her now."
Cassidy just smiled.
