Before long everyone was ready and making their way to the where DG was getting out several bowls and pouring cereal into them. She poured milk over her own and sat in one of the chairs at the table and began to eat it. She already expected Wyatt to avoid her and so far he was proving her right. It seemed he was taking much longer than usual to get ready today. As it happened Jeb was the first to join her in the kitchen. Without saying anything, she poured milk into another of the bowls and handed it to him. Jeb smiled brightly at her as he accepted it.

"Thank you Princess."

DG rolled her eyes as princess left his mouth. "I thought I mentioned that I preferred DG. What kind of person would I be if I made all of my friends call me princess?"

"As honored as I am that you consider me friend enough to call you that, I'm afraid that we don't really know each other at all."

"I guess you are right, but you won't let something like that stop you from calling me DG will you?" she asked with a conspirators wink. "Besides, I am sure we will be well on the way of becoming fast friends by the end of the day."

"You are probably right; I will give it my best effort DG." Jeb stumbled over her name a bit, but DG was just happy that she didn't have to hear princess again.

The two sat eating their cereal in silence for a while until Jeb decided to break it. "I am sorry about waking you up this morning, but I couldn't resist poking a little fun at my dad. He has never been one to show his affections much, even before he was in the suit, but it seems you are drawing him out of his shell."

DG looked at him a bit nervously. "Does that mean you don't mind terribly much?"

Jeb smiled brightly back at her to ease her nervousness. "Not in the least. I know what it is like to be in one of those suits. I think falling in love is the only cure after living in one."

"I don't know that I can convince him to love me yet but I am certainly working on it. I don't want either of you to think I am trying to take Adora's place though."

"Of course you aren't DG. I loved my mother very much, and I know my father did too, but I am glad to see that he has found someone to help him continue living life as more than an empty shell."

"Thank you Jeb, it really means a lot to me that you are okay with this. Now we just have to convince you dad that he is okay with it too."

This time it was Jeb's turn to return her conspirators wink. "I'm on it DG."

…o.O.o…

After Az was dressed she started towards the kitchen, but before she was down the stairs she noticed Glitch pacing in the living room with a strange box in his hands. She decided to make a slight detour to talk to him for a bit. When he heard her footsteps he turned towards her but before he could take more than one step he tripped over nothing. Az rushed forward barely in time to help him regain his balance.

With as much dignity as he could muster, Glitch brushed dust that wasn't there from his shirt. But there wasn't much dignity to be shown for he forgot the box he was holding and in the process of looking composed he fell apart once again. The box wasn't very big, but it made a rather loud, heavy thud as it hit the floor. Az couldn't help the laughter that bubbled up in her throat this time and Glitch couldn't keep his blush away. He quickly stooped to pick it up and returned it to the table that he had made into his own work table.

Az followed him over to the table, curious as to what the box was, but after looking at it for several minutes she still had no idea what it was. "Umm, Glitch, what is it?"

Glitch looked back at her over his shoulder and then back to the box. "Well, I couldn't sleep last night so I started tinkering with some things I found and this is what came out of it all. I can't really remember what it was supposed to do though, but I think it was supposed to be for you."

"For me?" Az asked in surprise. "Whatever for?"

"It's all in my brain somewhere, but I seemed to have misplaced it during the chaos of the morning. Would you like to keep it? Perhaps you will figure out what it does."

"Ummm, thank you." Taking the box carefully, she smiled shyly up at him.

Answering her smile with a big goofy grin of his own he slipped her arm through his. "Come on Azkadee, lets go get some breakfast."

…o.O.o…

By the time Wyatt made it downstairs he found his son laughing freely at the antics of the youngest princess sitting across from him. Well at least he wouldn't have to worry about them not getting along. Not that there was anything between them.

Az and Glitch had joined DG and Jeb at the table but obviously weren't part of the conversation that Jeb found so entertaining. Instead she was laughing quietly at Glitch who was once again glitching. Wyatt just shook his head at the two as he walked to the seat between Jeb and DG. As he sat down DG smiled brightly up at him before placing a bowl of cereal in front of him and handed him the milk to pour over it. He was still feeling a little awkward after the events of the morning but couldn't help smiling back at her. Jeb broke in on this moment with a knowing smile on his face. "So Dad, what are we all going to do while the princesses are at the diner?"

"Well it's my job to look after them so there really isn't any reason for you and Glitch to spend the whole morning there." He answered thoughtfully.

Glitch's attention suddenly focused on Wyatt upon hearing this. "Oh, I don't mind, it's not like I have anything else to do."

"Well sitting around all morning seems a little bit of a waste of time to me. Mind if I borrow your bike DG?"

Wyatt was rather surprised at how quickly his son had warmed up to DG. He watched DG ponder his request before nodding at him.

"I don't mind, but you better not let anything happen to it." She tried to look intimidating as she said this but it only lasted until Jeb chuckled at her.

"I will be extra careful with it. Thanks."

"Well I guess that those of us going should head out. Stop by for some lunch if you want to Jeb." DG announced as she began to gather the bowls up to set them in the sink for later.

DG handed the keys for her bike to Jeb and grabbed the keys for the truck and headed for the door.
