(Mival) Ah! We have some new students today, I see. Is someone perhaps interested in my son's arts? grins at Michelle and Michael you're both well off knowing. Michelle will know how to counteract it, and Michael can always use the arts himself. Well, come on. Today's lesson is the Art of Seductive Speaking. You'll learn how to use your words to the best advantage and pitch your voice to be most pleasing to your listener- it makes it a LOT easier to get what you're after, and it soothes and relaxes the person you're talking to. In my fiancée's case that's a necessary thing to know.

(Michelle) tugs at her mom's shirt again Fiancée? Does he mean Aunt Silva?

(Jenni) Yes he does, they decided to get married, sorry I forgot to tell you guys.

(Michael) is too distracted by his thoughts of using today's lesson to his advantage to notice

(Michelle) eyes light up Mival, are you and Silva getting married??(Mival)Yes, little one. I finally got her to say "yes".

(Yufan) Yay! Now mommy will actually be yours and you'll be hers forever!

(Shalo) Finally. Why did it take you so long?

(Mival) Your mother is a very special woman, not half as easy to win over as other women. It is lucky for us that she is- for if she was not, I would not have been living in her house and you two would not have been born. But back to the lesson- Silva is not here, so I cannot ask her to summon a female to demonstrate with. Would you perhaps mind if you were to demonstrate on your wife, Envy?

(Envy) Oh, I like to do that anyways. turns to her and sidles up to her side, dropping his voice so it caresses her skin like a physical touch, all silk and velvet So, my sweet kitten, are you glad to be my wife of four years? Or shall I... moves closer, voice dropping more to a purring tone try and make you even HAPPIER than you've been so far?

(Jenni) blushes Yes I have been very happy,gets even closer but I could always be happier. hand on his cheek

(Michael) is paying close attention

(Michelle) is thinking to self "Yeah, so how am I gonna learn to counteract it if mom falls for it."

(Mival) leaves the boys to Envy's demonstration and motions Michelle over to him, kneeling down and talking to her quietly when she obeys You, kittling, are going to need a special version of this lesson. While my boys and your brother can learn and practice while listening to your father, you'll need a much different lesson altogether. Do you notice how your mother is listening so closely? You will have to learn how to NOT hear the undertones of seductive speaking. It is much more difficult. Try now. drops voice enough that it calls attention, but not the same kind of attention Envy's getting from Jenni So, what do you think of me and my fiancée? Good? Bad? Nice?

(Michelle) confused Good? Bad? What do you mean? I just can't wait for the wedding. I hope you got lots of flowers.

(Jenni) is very closely listening to everything Envy is saying, about ready to give in

(Michael) is still closely watching, although creeped out that he's watching his parents

(Mival) shakes his head You still listen closely, yet not closely enough. You still listen to the connotations of the tone far too much, but you do not listen to the words. What you must do is learn to do the opposite of that. If you do, you will be able to resist any man at any time. Now try again. drops tone again For instance, would there be anyone you're looking up to as an idol?

(Michelle) is distracted by her parents Hmm? Sorry, wasn't paying attention.

(Jenni) can't resist anymore Uh...we'll be right back. leaves room dragging Envy with her.

(Michael) is now somewhat sad he has no one to study from.(Mival) puts hand to forehead Perhaps the old legends are true, then... other races simply can't -or rather wont- learn the ways of incubi. Yufan, Shalo, maybe we will have to leave the homunculi to their own versions of lessons and continue our own lessons at another place.

there's nothing that insults an incubi more than someone not paying attention when they're trying to teach, particularly women. They don't usually associate with women at all, outside of sex, so it just worsens their opinions of other races and females in general when their pupils isn't paying any attention.

(Mival) stands and has a hand on each son's shoulder now

(Shalo)We've lost Envy and Jenni.

(Yufan)Yep. Dad, if Jenni's been around Envy so much, why hasn't she learned to resist his speaking yet?

(Mival) She has learned, she simply did not wish to resist. She enjoys listening to him speak that way.

(Shalo)chuckles is that why she has three children with one on the way?

(Mival) Shhhh, we do not speak that poorly of women. Besides, they're in love. They would've had children regardless.(Michael) Good job Michelle, now we're not going to learn anything.

(Michelle) head is tilted down is disappointment I'm sorry Uncle Mival. I didn't mean to not pay attention. Please give me a second chance. slight puppy dog eyes.

(Mival)considers Well, watching one's parents can be...mightily distracting. It is understandable. Here is part one of this lesson- to speak seductively, one must learn to control the pitch and tone of their voice. To deepen and smooth your tone to produce a rich-sounding quality is vital. the richer a voice, the more that voice will soothe, relax, and seduce. In Michelle's case, she need not deepen her voice, but she may need to make it huskier, rougher rather than smoother. While smooth and soft will rile a woman's blood or relax her, depending on the situation, nothing quite makes a man's blood run hot like a woman's tone turned husky and rough. We're all learning seduction here, not just the boys. Try manipulating your voices. Guests first.

(Michelle) uh..sweat drop...him first! points to Michael.

(Michael) Hey! seeing as your my sister, I don't think I have anyone to practice on now do I? That'd just be creepy.is unaware but his voice actually got deeper and more seductive Why don't we let Shalo practice on you?

(Michelle) blushes No way.(Mival) Ah. lightly runs his finger across her blush, grinning He's gotten a blush. Well done, Michael. You see, not all seductive speaking need be between a man and a woman. There is that between friends, such as coaxing or pleading, and of course the same between siblings. Betting and dares are a rougher, more primitive form of seductive speaking, but all qualifies. Michelle, for your practice, perhaps you should try out one of my sons. pats them both They're new to this and should be easy to bend to your will.

(Shalo) Dad!

(Mival) What? You can't say no to a girl, you know that.

(Yufan) Neither of us can. Other than Michelle, the only girl we know is Mom. And you NEVER tell Mom no.

(Mival) Point taken. Nevertheless, come and try to seduce my sons, Michelle. encouraging tone

(Michael) is proud of himself, using the same tone Come on Michelle, you know you want to.

(Michelle) deeper blush uh...turns around, leaning over the back of her chair facing Shalo, voice becomes husky Hey Shalo, care to take a tour of my bedroom? finger running along his cheek.(Shalo) blushes deeply and shiver runs along his spine W-well...if you w-want me...to...

(Mival) Excellent. Both of you. Any partner you two go after will be putty in your hands.large grin You learn quickly.

(Shalo)blushes deeper(Michelle) grins sill facing Shalo, but speaking to Mival See, now this wouldn't have happened if you didn't give us a second chance now would it? finger is under Shalo's chin.

(Mival) Probably not. It may have happened anyway in the natural course of things if, say, they had attempted to practice on you, but that likelihood is slim.

(Shalo) Mmmmgh...can't tear his eyes off of Michelle's and is letting her control his entire body with just that finger under his chin, helpless to resist(Michelle) No, I don't think that they would've. is making his head sway back and forth with her finger(Yufan)Your mother would kill us. It would be worse than the Court of Miracles our mother came up with.

(Mival) We're not mentioning that place, remember? Your mother will forget about that soon enough if we don't remind her.

(Shalo)is trying to break free of the spell Michelle has cast and failing mmrugh...eyes are half-lidded now, almost totally hypnotized

(Michelle) I know she would. just keeps making him sway So who do you guys actually practice on? Cause I don't want Michael practicing on me, do you guys know someone who would let him practice on her?

(Michael) Huh? Oh...uh…blushes

(Mival) Shrugs We usually ask Silva to summon us girls to practice on, and sometimes she'll ask random women on the street and we'll use them. It gets them used to all types of women. They also have a tendency to practice on each other, because as incubi we don't exactly get to choose which gender we are summoned by.

(Yufan)blushes It's not our fault! We don't dare practice with any of the other men here.

(Shalo) Mmm...totally under Michelle's control now, his eyes barely open and head moving fluidly under her control

(Mival) I never said there was anything wrong with it. I'm actually rather proud of you.pats Yufan's head, leaving Shalo under Michelle's control(Michelle) I wouldn't dare practice on half the guys here either. They'd most likely think I was serious. It's so much funner to practice on you and your brother Yufan. Although, I'm not even sure if your brother is really even with us right now. laughs, her hand still making him look hypnotized. I should prolly let him go shouldn't I? sigh

(Mival) It's your voice. It's still making him dazed. You never smoothed your tone again. And you can control him for as long as you like. But you might have you attention diverted by his brother.

(Yufan) has already caught ondrops his tone to the perfect pitch Yes, dear Michelle... perhaps you find my brother entertaining, but I assure you I'm far more ...purrs to your taste.sidles up to her, his voice still that pleasing rumble I'm a bit more interesting than he is, anyway.

(Mival)smiles, watching with interest

(Michelle) I don't know if you are or not, but it's much more fun to watch your brother bend to my will, sorry. He kinda reminds me of a snake smirks and I'm the snake charmer.

(Michael) has been taking notes the whole time(Yufan) gets more determined and leans up and breathes on the back of her neck and her ear while talking But isn't it even more fun to bend TWO boys to your will, rather than just one? nuzzles the side of her neck Why settle for just the tame one, when you can have both tame and wild at once? kisses beneath her ear gently, lips teasing as he purrs against her skin

(Mival)eyes widen at the various arts Yufan is using, then grins, even more curious as to how this will play out(Michelle) slight blush That would be more fun, but it's easier just controlling one of you. If I could I'd summon you someone to play with. But since I can't maybe you can just turn your attention to my brother while I'm busy.

(Michael) Hell no, I don't want a guy practicing on me.

(Michelle) Oh come on, we could put you in a wig and a skirt and ya look just like me. We're twins after all. thinks to self "although I would need to have to get him a water bra".

(Michael) No, I'd rather have girls practicing on me. Unless you know some way to change him into a girl then I'm not going to be practice.

(Michelle) Maybe there is, I wouldn't know though. bluffing(Shalo)mmm...blue...bottle...remembers legends of something that switches gender, vaguely, but is too far under hypnosis to remember more

(Yufan) Oh! I know! Dad, do you remember where Mom threw her belt when she was changing?

(Mival) It's over the door there. points Why?

(Yufan) as he goes and unhooks Silva's belt from the door Mama once told us that if we needed to change sex for whatever reason, to use the blue bottle, the one she keeps in her belt.

(Mival) I'm not so sure, Yufan...your mother's vial collection is usually best not touched. All those potions she mixed up do strange things...some of them horrible and painful.

(Yufan) I'm sure she wouldn't have said we could use it if it would hurt us, Dad. accidentally fumbles the bottle and the liquid inside splashes Michael

(Mival) Oh dear...watches the cloud form around Michael I have a bad feeling about this...usually, we would just smell the fumes...I do not know what the liquid itself will do...I think someone had better go get your mother.

(Michelle) eyes still on Shalo I remember my mom saying that the liquid will permanently turn the person into the opposite gender, but there's always a way to go back to normal. Although I think having Michael turn into a girl might be a good thing.

(Michael) clouds disappears No it won't, I don' wanna be a girl. his hair is now much longer and voice higher pitched. His clothes are basically the same although now he's (magically) wearing a bra.

(Michelle) Too late, you're a girl, have fun.

(Yufan) eyes nearly pop out of his head Dad...?

(Mival)Yes?

(Yufan) When you saw Mama for the first time, did you feel like you'd just been hit in the gut by her tail? And was your pulse scarily fast? 'Cuz that's how I feel.

(Mival) Uh-oh. Looks like you just fell in love, my boy. glances at Michael And you're likely going to stay in love, no matter his current gender. Oh boy. looks a little thoughtful and a little worried

(Michelle) What?! concentration is gone and her grip on Shalo is broken He's in love with Michael?

(Michael) What? B-But I'm a guy, he can't be in love with me! is blushing.(Mival)rakes hand through his hair Gender doesn't matter to an incubus who's in love. Between that and his mother's genes of non-genderism, it's entirely possible. Not only CAN he be in love with you, he IS.

(Shalo) shakes self Aw, man! I can't believe it! My little brother fell in love at first sight, just like you did! Does this mean that my love emotion takes after mom and I'll have to ease into it the way she did?!

(Mival)sighs No, but this might be a bit of a problem, seeing as Michael is currently straight.

(Yufan) sidles up to Michael and hugs her tightly, purring and rubbing his face against her cheek like a kitten(Michael) is slightly creeped outblushes So what, you guys gonna try and turn me Bi or something?

(Michelle) You wouldn't be the first. I've heard mom and dad taking about dad's old job. At least half the people here are bi. But you might as well get used to it. Besides he looks kinda cute like that.

(Michael) blushes deeper whispers to self damn incubus(Yufan)ears perk Damn incubus, eh? Oh, I'll change your mind about that...huge smile as he drags Michael off towards the nearest available bedroom

(Mival) stares after them Looks like the love has woken up his incubi instincts early. Oh boy.

(Shalo) has fully woken up from the earlier hypnosis Can...can I practice with you, Michelle? is blushing a little I'm not as good at catching on as Yufan is...I need to practice a lot more, and I need to learn how not to melt...scratches back of neck, embarrassed

(Michelle) waves bye to Michael You look so cute when you melt though, but okay.

(Mival) chuckles I'll leave you two to your practice. I need to go find Silva. leaves

(Shalo) Um...what do you want to talk about? is still blushing(Michelle) is also blushing I don't know. You weren't really talking that much, so that made it easier earlier, that and seeing as your dad said that you can't say no. But you're brother won't take no as an answer, will he?

(Shalo) We like to pretend that it's the other way around, but Yufan is really the wild one. I'm a little irritable, but easily calmed. Yufan NEVER takes no for an answer and if he's in love the word "no" is intolerable. An incubus in love is a very serious thing, so...sighs and sits on floor That's how mama and Dad got together-Dad fell in love and "no" became intolerable. Now... we're here and they're getting married soon. looks up at Michelle, and his voice unintentionally drops a little in pitch, the tone smoothing unconsciously Um, Michelle? Will you...sit in my lap? And let me hug you? I don't get to be by people that are not my brother and parents very much...

(Michelle) is Jenni's daughter so she didn't notice that change in his voice Huh? Oh sure sits in his lap Your lap is very comfortable. put arms around him, smiling.

(Shalo) hugs her back, blushing brightly, but is smiling a littleThank you, Michelle ...hesitates, then tentatively rubs his cheek against hers, purring almost inaudibly(Michelle) You're welcome Shalo. her face bright pink

--

(Jenni) her and Envy are heading down the hallway to the room that has Michelle and Shalo in it. She stops, putting her ear to the door to see if the lesson is still going on whispers I don't hear anything. What do you think is going on?(Envy) puts ear to the door I can hear purring...

--

(Shalo) You are...good to me, Michelle. purrs a little louder, very, VERY red by now And I think I really like you. Really, REALLY like you. Do you like me any?

(Michelle) blushes deeper Of course I like you. That's why I didn't want to practice on you, I didn't know whether or not you liked me back.

(Shalo)ears twitch and his grip on Michelle suddenly becomes protective I hear someone whispering nearby.

--

(Jenni) gasp I heard that. I can't believe she has her first crush, well at least the first I know of. thinks back to HER first crush, which was in 2nd grade, and her mom not finding out who she currently liked until 'bout 8th grade Do you think we should be spying on them. all of this a whisper

(Envy) Damn, the boy's got good ears.

(Jenni) If he can hear us then we should really be going. We should go try and find Michael.

--

(Shalo) Someone large and strong and male. It might be one of the ones Mother warned me and Yufan against, the ones stronger than even us incubi. eyes narrow and start glowing

(Michelle) hides face in Shalo's neck Who could it be? thinks to self "Why are they ruining my alone time with him."

(Shalo)smiles to self, calming again They want to go find your brother. I think they'd be..."interested" if they did.

--

(Envy)"INTERESTED"? Oh, something happened to our son, and I bet Silva's behind it some way or another. We'd better go find him.

(Jenni) Seeing as this is her house I have no doubt that she will somehow be behind it. Wait, hold on. If Michelle and Shalo are in there, where ARE Yufan and Michael?

(Mival)You're looking for Yufan and Michael? Look down the hallway- follow the "noises" and you'll find them.

(Jenni)) Noises? Oh dear God that doesn't sound good. We better hurry. hurries Envy along the hallway

--

(Shalo)They left. We're alright and we're safe. hugs her more(Michelle) reveals smiling face Good, do I want to know who it was? Or could you not tell?

(Shalo) It was your parents. And it sounds like Dad's directing them right to our siblings. Do we want to be around when they find them?

(Michelle) is far too comfortable and doesn't want to move I don't see why we have to go. It was my brother who came up with the idea and your brother who spilt some of that bottle on him and dragged him off. Wait, wasn't your dad looking for your mom?(Shalo) He probably passed back through here while looking. She goes everywhere in here- she knows all the passageways and everything better than any other.

--

(Envy) I don't see anything wrong with Noises, kitten. You and I were about their age when WE met.

(Jenni) blushes I know, but I want to know what happened while we were gone and why it lead up to "noises".

(Envy) We'll get the story from them...AFTER they've finished. It's best to leave them alone as long as they're in the middle of "something",right, my wife? I mean, WE don't like getting interrupted, do we?

(Jenni) I ...well...no we don't. But I'm afraid that after whatever they're doing, he's not gonna be the same.

(Envy) Doesn't matter, if he comes out a little changed, I'm sure it'll be for the better. Remember what my favorite job used to be with the straight men?(Jenni) I guess, and as for that job...it's better as what used to be.

(Envy) I prefer my current job anyways...keeping my wife satisfied. That reminds me, we never did get around to the fourth position you wanted to try...picks Jenni up in arms, purring as he walks back toward their bedroom Wouldn't do for me to fall slack on the job, now would it?(Brandi) I like your current job better as well. voices becomes slightly husky Now, now that won't do. Slacking on the job is never a good thing. smirk

(Envy) VERY happy as he shuts the door to their bedroom

--

(Michelle) Oh, snuggles closer can you guess why he was looking for her?(Shalo) Because he's in love. says it simply Incubi can't bear to be apart from their loved one for too long, so he had to go searching for her.

(Michelle) Aw how sweet. Wow, there's so much I need to learn about incubi.

(Shalo) Incubi don't fall in love very often, so it's not information that is widely known...I'm still learning, too. But I do know that everything those of my line have learned before me is inbred into my body, and when I fall in love and that love is returned, all that information is going to come alive. It's the only way Incubi really understand of showing their love, so no matter their age, they can never really unlock their true talents until they fall in love. And for an incubus, love is Once and Forever.(Michelle) Aw that sounds so romantic. But your father and brother fell in love, I'm sure you will too.(Shalo) The trick is getting my love to fall for ME. uses finger under her chin to tilt her head up so he can look her in the eye And romantic or not, it's true.(Michelle) blushes W-well I guess it depends w-who you're in l-love with.(Shalo)leans down, lips getting closer to hers Really, now? eyelids drop, giving him a more sensual look

(Michelle) blushes Y-Y-Yeah.

(Shalo) is the true gentleman he was bred to be May I? gentle tone that has no compulsions in it whatsoever

(Michelle) You don't have to ask. reaches his lips first

(Shalo) kisses back gently, thoroughly enjoying it, and too tamed to take it further without her permission, though it is very tempting to try

(Michelle) moans a little, implying that she wants him to go further

(Shalo)Instincts all come alive with a jolt, and as he starts kissing her deeper, his hands run along her sides, stroking and massaging skillfully as his body heat starts to increase(Michelle) enjoys the feeling as her hands creep up his neck so that she can play with his hair

(Shalo) kisses her even more deeply, starting to ease her down to the floorhis hands start moving over her stomach and hips, still massaging gently, and he starts to get the slightest bit rougher and more passionate

(Michelle) kisses him with even more passion, although slightly worried as to where this might be heading.

(Shalo)Lays her out flat on floor and is laying next to her, supporting himself on his elbows, and breaks the kiss to breathe kisses down her neck, then back up to her lips, breathing heavily, then pauses Michelle, I think I might be...gulps in love.kisses the corner of her mouth, using one hand to stroke her cheek(Michelle) pulls his head away to get his full attention breathing heavily I-In love, w-w-with me?

(Shalo)Y-yeah...I kinda got this funny feeling...like the one Dad got when he met Mom...turns his head into her hand and nuzzles it, eyes closing(Michelle) Wow. is almost too speechless to say anything else A-are you sure?(Shalo)opens one eye and sends her a glance that shows the heat he's feeling and all the knowledge that woke up inside him I don't know how else I would feel like this, or how I would know where all your most sensitive spots are. Or why I would know how to make a kiss the best thing for you, when you're the first person I've kissed in seriousness. I'm POSITIVE.(Michelle) I-I'm not sure what to say Shalo. Okay...so you're positive, uh...now what?(Shalo)Wraps arms around her waist I try my damnedest to make you fall in love with me and hopefully eventually marry you and have children if you want to. Love Once, Love Forever.(Michelle) still red as ever If your instincts have awoken inside you, doesn't that mean that I'm already in love with you. You said that once you fall in love, and that love is returned, all the information is going to come alive inside you. And...well... seeing as it has, I guess that means that...looks into his eyes I'm in love with you too.(Shalo)is looking very pleased Yes. But I still wanted to make sure of it... genetics CAN be weird at times...leans down and kisses her again(Michelle) If he.. says...so... words are drown out in her thoughts by the heat and passion in the kiss(Shalo)when he's kissed her until he's lost all his senses in her, he pulls back and puts his lips to her neck, panting as he just hovers there. I think we'd better stop. Otherwise I might try to move faster than you're ready for. I already want to do absolutely sinful things to you...kisses her neck, then forces himself to draw back(Michelle) Okay. sits self upright I wonder what your dad is going to say. I remember his face when Yufan said that he was in love, I couldn't tell whether or not Mival was happy. I wonder if he'll be happy for you.(Shalo) sits up as well, silvery runes starting to write themselves across the back of his shoulders he wears no shirt as he gets himself in control He's happy. He'll be happy for me as well- estatic, even. It's very rare for Incubi, even partial incubi, to fall in love, ever. Rarer for those incubi to be loved back. It's makes it so that that incubi and whoever loves him to become pretty much invincible to anything they don't want to die by. He was just too occupied with needing to find Mom to show it.runes start winding down his arms(Michelle) Oh, must be cool that you're family has fallen in love. Uh Shalo…what's happening to your arm? (Shalo) glances at the writing Oh, it's nothing. It's just the Incubi magic. We have our own brand of..."sex magic", so to speak, and it does this when it wakes up. I CAN use it now, when I couldn't before, but...I don't think I ever will use it on you...it'd be insulting to use it on the one I love...blushes again

(Michelle) Aww kisses his cheek Thank you. So...wanna go see if my mom and dad have found our brothers yet?(Shalo) tugs ear Judging by the earlier conversation, I think they're a bit..."busy". Y'know...I just got the strangest urge to get my ears pierced. Wanna come with me?(Michelle) Really? How long has it been. Seems like hours to me. That's a bit random but, okay.(Shalo) We've been at things only a short time. And as for the earrings, I think that's my mother's influence. She will randomly wish things, and then those random urges pass onto my brother and I. gets up and walks toward bathroom, where all manner of tools are kept What kind of earring do you think would be best? And would you like your ears pierced as well? unobtrusively reaches and twines his hand and fingers with hers as he walks(Michelle) follows himslight blush Genetics can be weird. I already have my ears pierced. uses free hand to move hair behind ear Like my mom I got them pierced when I was very young.(Shalo) Would you like another one? has reached bathroom and takes piercing gun out of cabinet I think these garnet teardrop earrings Mother stashed and never wears would look good...puts one in the top of his left ear ooow..(Michelle) Okay, but only if I get to squeeze your hand if it hurts, which I know it will. blushes

(Shalo) You can- I would never deny you anything in my power to give you that will not harm you. Select any earring you like- Mother is certainly not going to care. She has earrings from her family that she doesn't even know she HAS- she gets all sorts of presents and never opens them. pierces other ear, wincing Owwww... bead of blood leaks from his ear, catching on his finger(Michelle) Ooooh small green stud catches her eye I wanna put it up here on the top of my ear uses finger to demonstrate where

(Shalo) puts it in the gun and pierces where she told him to, holding her hand in his free one as he does kisses it when he's finished, using a little magic to make it stop hurting

(Michelle) squeezes his hand during the piercing blushes when he kisses it Ow that hurt. rubs ear a little(Shalo) The pain should fade soon. rubs his hand over her face, having put the piercing gun down, and is starting at her with soft eyes

(Michelle) blushes If you're here I know the pain will ease.

(Shalo) Glad to know I can ease your pain. smiles, eyes still soft, and is blushing lightly leans in and kisses her temple

(Michelle) Of course. You make me feel happy inside. blushes(Shalo) can't stand it anymore and kisses her again, his arms wrapping around her waist gently, his skin glowing silver because he can't contain the love overflowing his heart

(Michelle) puts her arms immediately around his neck, kissing him back

(Shalo) several minutes later, when he has to break for air hey...what do you think happened to our brothers?

(Michelle) And you're wondering now? When I had asked you earlier? laughs But if you're so curious I guess it couldn't hurt.

(Shalo) Let's go looking. We have NO clue where those two have gotten off to, so it might take some time.

TO BE CONTINUED
