Chapter Six

"Gaha!" Duncan screamed, slamming into the dark oak wood wall with his back – cracks appearing on the wall. "I-I'm sorry!" Duncan cried out, Ridge pinning him down before the scientist could slide off the wall. "What did I tell you about exploiting the bugged recipes?!" Ridge growled.

"Yo-you said not to do it…" Duncan muttered, trembling in fear. "And what did you do?"
"I-I'm so sorry…. I-it was just s-so tempting…" "WRONG!" Ridge exclaimed, slamming Duncan into the wall again, "What. Did. You. DO?!"

The scientist cried out in pain, his words even more shaken, "I-I created a r-robotic g-girl…" Ridge nodded. "That's right…" he whispered darkly, dropping Duncan to the ground. The Man of the Skies was about to continue, rolling up his sleeves, when suddenly a twelve-year-old Rosey walked in.

"Daaad! Can I go to Uncle Lewis's – Oh…um, should I go now?" Rosey asked, realizing what she walked into. Duncan groaned again, his arms and legs trembling as he tried to stand. As he saw Rosey, he seriously wished he had enough strength to hug the adorable thing.

Ridge jumped, looking over at his daughter with an unexpected glance. "Oh! Um… no, no I'm finished…." He responded; slightly disappointed that he couldn't finish as his sleeves fell once more. "Oh, okay! So, can I go to Uncle Lewis's Bee Base? He called me wanting to show me all of the different things he has!"

"Yes, yes..of course. You haven't seen him in years!" Ridge exclaimed, smiling as the scientist teleported back to his own castle. Rosey jumped a few times, clapping with a great smile on her face, "Yaaay! Can I practice flying too? I've gotten a lot better!"

Ridge rolled his eyes, "You're pushing your luck, but fine." Rosey screeched in happiness, running to her room faster than Road Runner.

"What to wear…" Rosey whispered, opening her closet, "Blue jeans? Nah. Maybe a skirt…." Skimming through her clothes, Rosey didn't notice the copy of her forming on her bed. The duplicate stood quietly, walking over to Rosey before reaching out and grabbing a shirt. "Eep!" Rosey shrieked quietly, jumping right into her other.

"Jesus, me!" Rosey exclaimed, turning around to her duplicate, who couldn't stop laughing. "Sorry, sorry. But what about this?" the duplicate asked, holding up the pink shirt she grabbed, "You can wear it with some shorts – preferably black – and your tennis shoes!"

Rosey gasped, having not thought of that before, "Oh my Notch! How did I not think of that?!" She quickly snatched the shirt, grabbing some shorts as well before running off. "Because I did," her duplicate whispered as she ran off, grinning slightly.

"Oh, what are you planning this time?" said a darker version of Ridge's voice as a man started to form beside her. "Nothing too deadly father, I promised not to ruin your plan remember?" Ridge's darker self nodded, grinning. "Alright… I won't ask this time." With that, the two faded away.

Ridge stood by a wooden fence gate at the edge of his floating island, keeping himself occupied by twiddling his thumbs. I swear, he thought, girls are as bad as women with changing….
"Wee!"

Ridge raised an eyebrow, turning to the voice only to duck before his daughter could crash into him. "Notch, Rosey!" he exclaimed. Rosey giggled, circling above her father from a great distance. "Whaaat?"

"Warn me next time!" Ridge exclaimed, laughing slightly. He started lifting off the ground and into the air. "But I did!" Rosey protested, following her father as he started flying towards the Bee Base.

"Aah! So many bees and trees!" Rosey gasped, flying around all the beehives and circling all the trees – mostly the cherry trees though.

Lewis laughed, watching his grown up creation fly around with the powers given to her by Ridge. Maybe I made her too much like Ridge…nah, she's too childish, Lewis thought, climbing out of a Notch-forsaken hole he fell into for the millionth time.

"It's a shame Duncan couldn't behere," Simon pouted, messing with an oddly docile pile of bees in a blue marked beehive. "Uncle Simon?" Rosey flew over to her dwarven uncle, observing what he's doing. "What if the bees get angry?"

Simon laughed, glancing at Rosey for a second before continuing. "Nah, they're not going to get angry at – Oh Notch! Aaaahahahaaaa!" Simon screamed/laughed, running away from the beehive as the swarm he was messing with started to follow close behind.

"Eek!" Rosey shrieked, watching as Simon jumped into the lake, the bees – sadly being water bees- diving in after him. Ridge peeked out from Simon's thaumaturgy room, suddenly laughing at the state of the dwarf.

Lewis soon followed after, a hand over his face as he laughed. Such a silly dwarf, he should have known better.

"You can't catch me!" Rosey exclaimed, zooming past the now bandaged Simon. "Oh get back here ye' bugger!" Simon exclaimed in his best dwarf accent, chasing her down.

"How cute…" Lewis whispered, leaning against the marble walls of the base – Ridge doing the same.

"Very…"

"I still don't forgive you, you know."

The Man of the Skies shrugged, "And I don't care." Lewis shook his head, sighing as he looked back at the dwarf and his creation. "How did I know you would say that?"

"Because we have been saying those two exact sentences for over 6 years now, spaceman."
