Disclaimer- I do not own anyone but Lumina, May and Kitten.
"Kitten this is Barret Wallace and his daughter Marlene." The huge man with the mechanical hand nodded at her. A small girl that looked nothing like her father waved from his side. She was holding a giant cat plushie that was dressed in a red cape.
"This is Vincent Valentine. During the war he was a gunner, along with Mister Laguna." A pale man wearing a blood red cape stared down at her while leaning against the van. Sitting on the grass was an older man with black hair and green-grey eyes. He happily waved at the demi.
"Oh," May smacked her hand against the side of her head. "Lumina is preparing lunch with Ms. Lulu. She was a mage during the war." Kitten's ears fell flat against her skull as she clutched May pants' leg and tried to hide behind the twenty-seven-year-old Kitsua. The brunette lowered herself to one knee and looked into Kitten's green eyes.
"Hey . . . These guys helped us get to you in that lab." May whispered to the young demi-human. "Some of them may look scary but they are nice people." May stood up straight and walked toward the van and popped the back open. Laguna jumped up, shocked at the amount of boxes, bags and the three suitcases.
May stared at him with a blank expression as he gave her a confused look. "Listen. We're lucky to even have our own home. You should know from the letters Lumi sent you that our old apartment was no place to raise a seven-year-old. We even got this place cheap for 7,000 munny. Plus we had to move out thanks to that landlord of ours." The Kitsua explained to the youngest gunner. Laguna scratched the back of his head sheepishly and then picked up a box marked 'Kitten's Room' in magic marker.
Kitten was about to move when she felt a cold chill run down her spine. She heard voices talking and they were not the normal ones she heard.
"Gawrsh Sora, Twilight Town sure has changed since the last time we visited."
"You're right. It's gotten bigger and a little bit brighter."
"Sora you were going to show me your friends here."
"Oh! Sorry Riku! Come on guys! We gotta go to the café Olette told us about!"
"Hey Kitten if you want you and Marlene can go into town and buy some ice cream." May said as she handed Vincent a duffel bag with stickers on it. May searched her pockets for her wallet and passed it to Marlene, who had Barret's consent to go into town. Marlene waited at the gate for the younger girl who began following the older like a shadow.

"Kitten?" The gray-haired girl looked up from her seasalt ice-cream. "How come you never talk?"
"Experiment 52 is unresponsive to the test. Double the medication".
"...I ... never found the need to . . . " Kitten finally said after a few moments. Marlene's eyes widened after hearing the demi speak. Her voice was very quiet, as if this was the first time she ever spoke to anyone. 'Why bother to keep quiet? May and Lumina want me to speak. My only family is worried sick that I'll be like that forever.'
Please review. It would be nice to hear some critic from people who read this.
