Andy grinned at Ryon, Yamae, and Ryusei as they brought their plates up after breakfast, "Want to go on a field trip?"

They looked at her in bewilderment. Ryon spoke first.

"I guess so?"

"We're going to the most magical place on Earth," Andy smiled widely.

All three of them stared blankly at her.

Andy rolled her eyes, "Just come on," she grabbed them and teleported them to the gates of Disney World.

Ryon lifted an eyebrow as the other two stared. "Really?"

"Really." Andy nodded. "Unless you guys don't want to have a bunch of fun?"

Ryusei shook his head. "I want to go."

Yamae gave his brother a begging look, to which Ryon shrugged. "Why the hell not."

Andy went and quickly purchased tickets before they went through the security line.

"What park first? Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom?"

Ryon got a sly smile, whispering "Anywhere Ryusei's spirit animal is."

Andy chuckled, "I think he's at any park. Ryusei, which park sounds best to you?"

He looked thoughtful. "Magic Kingdom?"

Andy grinned, "Alright. That's where the castle is." She headed off in the direction the signs pointed to.

The three porters followed quietly, their eyes large.

The castle came into view and Andy took a few pictures. "There's a ton of rides in Magic Kingdom. There's the Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, it's a small world, and even a Stitch ride."

Ryusei's eyes bugged out as the other two began to laugh.

"Magic words." Yamae slung an arm around the youngest porter. "Didn't know they made a ride based on you."

Ryusei rolled his eyes.

Andy chuckled. "There's also pin trading, where you buy pins and trade them with cast members pins. There's lots of other fun things in the gift shops too." So where do we want to start?

Many rides and gift shops later, Andy found herself back near the castle, smiling at her friends. They all had pairs of mickey ears on, even having found a Stitch pair for Ryusei.

It was dark, and the firework show was just about to begin. Andy found them a good spot to watch it from. "Thank you guys for coming with me."

"Kinda hard to resist this." Ryon gave a soft smile toward the other porters. "Thanks for bringing them."

"Did you at least have some fun?"

"I did. Guess I don't show it much huh?" Ryon gave a small chuckle. "Too stuck in the adult role, I guess."

Andy gave him a smile, "You just have to let your inner kid come out every once and awhile."

He gave her a grin. "I'll keep that in mind."

The fireworks began and they spent the next hour being awed.

They returned to base, smiling, covered in Disney merch that Andy bought them.

"I can see where you guys played hooky today." Tsukasa chuckled as he saw them.

"Thought we should go have some fun," Andy shrugged.

"I'm not arguing. Probably should get those two into bed before they fall over."

Ryon laughed, maneuvering the two sleepy porters toward the barracks.

Andy chuckled and headed off toward the room she shared with Kiba and Tet.

The next morning, Akasa approached her with a frown. "Need to ask you something."

"What's up?"

"How did Yamae seem yesterday?"

"He was fine.. Why?"

"Found some irregularities in his checkup last month. Not sure if something's wrong or if he just needs retests."

Andy nodded, "I'll check him over." She started heading to find the porter but paused as a headache suddenly started. She said a spell to try to help which eased it a bit before she continued on. When she finally spotted him she smiled, "Hey, Yamae."

He gave her a tired wave, then approached. "I think I'm still worn out from yesterday." He was slightly pale and he sipped at a large coffee.

"Would you mind coming to the infirmary for a couple tests? Akasa saw something on your scans and we just want to make sure nothing is wrong."

He shrugged, following her. He looked exhausted by the time they got there, and lay on a bed with no argument.

Andy started up the scanners and quickly called Akasa.

He came in, sending a look toward Yamae.

"Look at this..."

The nurse studied the scans, then sighed. "How are you going to tell him?"

"I don't know.. Most patients it's easy, but not when it's someone I'm so close to. Start going through the books. I'll try to tell him." She paused and wrote down something quickly.

She went out and gave him a small smile before putting a hand on his chest and reciting the spell she had just written. A seal soon appeared before fading away.

"Yamae.. I have some bad news," Andy sighed.

He looked at her, then his lips quirked. "Let me guess. You're pregnant and it's mine."

She gave a small chuckle, "If only.." she took a deep breath, "It seems you have cancer. Now, I've placed a sealing spell to try to stop it from progressing, but it will still be affecting you. Please don't worry though, you know we're going to do everything we can to get rid of it."

He looked down for a moment, then raised his eyes. "I'm not worried. But you might want to tell my brothers the same thing. They are both going to freak."

Andy nodded, "I'll take care of it. Give me a day or so to go through all our books and see if I can find any spells to help because I'd rather not make you go through chemo."

He nodded, his eyes tired. "I trust you."

"Go get some rest. I'll talk to your brothers." She called the other two down to the infirmary.

Kei and Ryon walked in and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Kei watched her expression warily.

Andy sighed, "Please know, we are doing everything we can to fix it, but it seems Yamae has cancer."

Kei paled, Ryon supporting him as he nearly fell. "I knew something was wrong yesterday."

"I put a sealing spell to prevent it from progressing any further, but it still is serious. Please don't try to worry too much though, Akasa and I are working on it."

Kei nodded, his eyes straying to where Yamae was asleep on the bed. "I'll look through my spells as well. You going to tell Boss?"

"If you want me to. He just wanted me to tell you two."

Ryon sighed. "He'll have to be taken off active duty."

Andy nodded, "I'll go tell him then. And if you have any questions or anything I'll be happy to answer them."

They both nodded, moving to Yamae's side. There was a quiet conversation, then Kei picked him up and headed out the door.

Andy started to head to Tsukasa's office but stopped in the hallway and held her head tightly as it pounded. She waited for it to ease before continuing, only slightly concerned about the pain. Taking care of Yamae was her main focus right now, so she finished making her way to Tsukasa's office and knocked on the door.

The dragon opened it, looking at her with concern. "Are you alright? You don't look good." He led her in and pushed her into a chair, then sat on the edge of the desk.

She rubbed her temples for a moment, "Just a headache." She took a second then remembered why she was there, "Yamae needs to be off active duty."

Tsukasa frowned. "May I ask why?"

"He has cancer."

Tsukasa looked shocked for a moment, then nodded. "Done. What's his prognosis?"

"I did a spell to prevent it from spreading, but it's not good. I'm hoping we can find or make a spell to help him."

The dragon took a deep breath. "At least it's quiet right now. Good luck."

Andy nodded and headed out of the office. When she arrived back at the infirmary, she looked around for Akasa and once she found he wasn't there, she did a quick scan of herself. She stared at the results in silence before muttering, "Well, that explains this headache." She locked the scan files away before popping a pain pill into her mouth and swallowing it. She then headed to start helping Akasa look through the books.

Several hours later, Akasa slammed another book closed. "Nothing.." He pinched his nose as he tried to think of anything he could.

"I'll try to come up with a spell then," Andy sighed.

"How long do you think that will take?" The nurse looked at her. "You and I saw the scans. It's almost too late to do anything."

"I know, but you know I'm not giving up. I'll have something done soon, I just need a small break," she sighed as she rubbed her head again.

Akasa's eyes narrowed. "What's wrong? And don't you dare say nothing."

"It's just a headache, don't worry about it."

He looked unconvinced, but stayed quiet. He finally stood. "I'm going to look in on Yamae." He left the room.

Andy took a deep breath and closed her eyes, falling asleep in the chair.

She was awakened by the nurse shaking her. His face was grim, but he sat down without a word.

"What's wrong?" She muttered as she wiped her eyes.

"The seal is weakening. This is not a normal cancer. Starting to suspect this is man made."

Andy frowned, "He was with Branch for a while.. God knows what they could've done."

"I know. The question is can we stop it?" He put his head in his hands. "He's not doing well."

Andy nodded and started writing words on a page. She paused a few times, trying to keep track of her thoughts. Finally, she stood. "I'm going to try this." She went to find Yamae and recited the spell she had come up with. She then took him to run scans again and see if there were any changes.

Nothing appeared different. The seal had completely quit working and Yamae looked worse by the minute. His breathing was weak and he cried out. "Andy, it hurts.."

"I know.. I'm working on it, just try to relax." She frowned and went to Akasa, handing him the paper, "Do the spell. I want to see something."

Akasa nodded, going to Yamae and reciting the spell carefully.

The porter relaxed, falling asleep.

Akasa came back quietly. "The pain seems to have eased. But that's all."

Andy nodded and decided to try something else. She tried to focus her revival energy, a dim silver light surrounding him. She frowned and pushed harder, trying to get the light to brighten. Her hands shook but she continued on, hoping it would work.

Akasa grabbed her as she buckled. "Dammit Andy!" He made her lie down with a disgruntled growl.

She tried to push herself up, "I need to help him."

"You can't help anyone in your condition." He scowled at her. "I saw the scans. What were you thinking?"

Tears filled her eyes, "The scans are just from today.. I figured after we care for Yamae we could look into it.."

Akasa sighed. "You need to accept there isn't anything we can do for him. His brothers have. Kei asked whether we could sedate him until the end."

Andy shook her head, "I'm not just giving up." She looked thoughtful before calling Jun to the infirmary.

He arrived quickly, his face impassive. "You should be resting."

Andy raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"Akasa told me." At her look, he quickly added "We're the only ones don't worry."

Andy glared at Akasa, "You know, in most places it is illegal to give out medical information without the patient's approval." She sighed and looked at Jun, "I know I can't do much, okay? But I want to try. I thought if both of us use revival energy, we might be able to heal him."

Akasa winced. "I wanted to know if he could help you. I'm sorry."

Jun frowned. "He's pretty bad. And I've never tried to heal.. I'm willing to try. Just don't get your hopes up. I was actually going to try to heal you."

Andy frowned, "I guess I won't stop you."

He took a deep breath, then stretched out his hands. They began to glow as he began pushing power into her. He concentrated, sweat beading on his forehead as he manipulated the power. After ten minutes, his eyes slid shut and he collapsed.

Her headache eased a bit, but it didn't fully disappear.

Akasa got Jun onto a bed, then situated the scanner above her and turned it on. He hurried to Yamae when the porter's breathing began to hitch. He quickly set up a ventilator, then returned as the scanner beeped. His tenseness relaxed somewhat as he looked at the printout.

"What's it say?" Andy asked quietly.

"The tumor is almost gone. Was hoping he'd be able to get rid of it completely, but at least this will give you time. I hope he'll be alright."

Andy nodded slowly. "When he wakes we'll work on Yamae. Don't tell anyone else about the tumor, okay? I don't want to worry anyone."

He nodded quietly, then answered "Andy, it's just a matter of time for Yamae. He's already too weak to breathe on his own. My estimate is possibly two hours."

Andy sighed, "I won't give up until he's gone." She prayed Jun would wake soon.

Ryon was sitting beside Yamae, holding a limp hand. Under the unconscious porter's arm was the Chesire cat plushie he'd gotten at Disney. Ryon gave her a sad smile.

"I'm glad we got to act normal just once. He deserved more, but you gave him an opportunity to be young again. I really appreciate it."

Andy nodded with a small smile.

Kei entered, his face tear streaked. He gave Andy a hug, whispering "I know you did everything you could. Thank you."

Andy hugged him back in silence.

Jun groaned, reaching a hand to cover his eyes.

"Welcome back. Care to help me try to save Yamae?"

"Did it work on you?" He cracked one eye to look at her. His face was pale, color was slowly returning.

"It helped. Still there but better than before. Thank you."

"Dammit." He scowled, dropping his hand. "If I can't heal you, what makes you think I can heal him?"

"Both of us using our power might be able to save him. I believe in you, okay? And you helped me a lot."

He sighed before sitting up. "Keep stroking my ego."

Andy chuckled softly. "Come on."

He stood, leaning on the bed for a moment. Then he approached Yamae's bed. He took a deep breath as his hands began glowing.

Andy went over to Yamae and focused, silver light appearing around the porter. It was much stronger than before, so she hoped it would be of more help.

Jun's blue light mixed with hers, making the porter glow as he concentrated. The blue soon enveloped the porter. A few minutes went by, then the blue glowed so bright it was blinding.

Then it blinked out, a thud occuring seconds later.

Andy continued to push her energy into Yamae for another few minutes before stopping, falling back into the chair behind her.

Seconds went by, then Yamae blinked his eyes open. Akasa disconnected the ventilator as the porter began to cough. He quickly wheeled the scanner over, turning it on. When it beeped, he eagerly grabbed the printout. "It's gone.. No sign of it at all."

Andy gave him a tired smile.

Kei knelt beside Jun. He grew alarmed at the other necromancer's pallor and recoiled when he found his skin cold. "Jun.." He shook his head at Akasa.

Andy swayed as she stood, "Put him in a bed."

Akasa looked at her. "You can't. You'll end up next to him!"

Kei and Ryon gently settled Jun on a bed, their faces sad.

"Don't tell me what I can or can't do," Andy growled at Akasa before going to Jun's side. She focused on him, gold light shining around him.

His breathing returned, slow and erratic. Kei examined him.

"His power is weak. I'm going to make a potion to help." The witch headed for the lab as Yamae finally spoke.

"Is he okay? I saw him.."

"He should be fine after some rest. Kei's potion will help too," Andy said quietly, trying to stop her hands from shaking as she moved to the chair next to him.

"You better follow your own advice. Or so help me I will tell Tet everything." Akasa threatened her.

Andy nodded, "I'm resting.. I'll move to a bed soon. And if you tell him or Kiba, you're dead meat."

"You do realize that you're about as threatening as Daiki after a fast, right?" The nurse chuckled as he sat down.

Andy rolled her eyes and looked back at Yamae, "I'm glad you're okay."

The porter gave her a grin. "Same to you." He watched Jun for a moment. "I don't know how, but I saw him. He put his hand on me and I felt so much power rush through me.. I can't describe it any other way but cleansing. Like the power was removing anything that didn't belong."

Andy gave him a smile, "Not sure how either but sounds nice."

Kei came out with a vial. "Sounds like an earth witch cleansing spell. Usually reserved for poisoned earth or water." He poured the potion down Jun's throat.

Andy watched him a moment before moving to a bed and climbing in. She sat back against the pillows and went back to watching Jun.

Kei gave her a smile. "Get some sleep. He'll be okay."

Andy nodded and closed her eyes, soon drifting off.

She awoke to a stabbing headache and she pushed herself out of bed, going to the cabinet for pain meds.

"Are you alright?" Akasa steadied her, his eyes concerned.

"Just a headache."

"That's what you said last time." Akasa was grumpy as he walked her back to bed.

"Well you already know why I have a headache," she sighed.

"Thought it was better though?"

"Better, but still there. It can still cause all the same symptoms no matter the size, they just normally worsen the bigger it gets."

The nurse scowled. "How are we going to get rid of it?"

"I'll figure something out," Andy sighed.

"Maybe Jun can try again?"

"Maybe, but not for a few days at least. He needs to regain his strength." She looked up at the time. "I'm going to go make dinner." She pushed herself back off the bed.

"Is that wise?" Akasa watched her intently.

Andy shrugged, "The team still needs to eat and will get suspicious if I don't make something."

"I'm sure Ryon or Tet can cook. I informed everyone about what happened with Yamae. Said you might be worn out for a few hours."

Andy nodded slowly before climbing back into bed, "Alright, you win this time."

He gave a small smile before heading for the lab as a puff of smoke erupted. "Kei! Please don't blow us up…"

Andy chuckled before falling back to sleep. She ended up sleeping through til morning. She got up and headed to the kitchen.

A banging caught her attention from the pantry.

Andy raised an eyebrow and went in there to check it out.

She glimpsed light brown fur, then saw a medium sized cat mournfully looking at the various cans of food on the floor.

Andy raised an eyebrow, "Where did you come from?"

"Help me.." Kei's voice echoed in her head.

"Aw, I thought maybe we got a new pet," Andy said softly, picking Kei up and petting his ears.

He let out a purr that sounded like a laugh. "While I'm sure you're a great owner.. I'd rather not stay like this."

Andy nodded and carried him off to the infirmary. She smiled at Akasa when she spotted him.

"He's still stuck?!" The nurse face palmed. He looked at the clock and sighed. "15 hours now and you still can't revert?"

"I think I have a spell to help," Andy said as she set Kei on the table and started looking through a spell book.

"I certainly hope so, otherwise it's going to get dangerous for him."

Andy finally found a page and recited the words aloud, watching the cat.

Seconds later, Kei sat on the table. He looked down in embarrassment. "Guess I need to redo the potion again."

"Ya think?" Ryon stood in the doorway, growling softly.

"I definitely think we should get a pet cat.." Andy said, "Unless you get stuck permanently and become our cat instead."

"Uh.. I'd rather not." The witch slid off the table and retreated, his brother scolding him until they disappeared.

Andy headed back to the kitchen and cleaned up the pantry before making breakfast. She sat down with a plate and started eating as the others entered.

"Feeling better, darlin?" Tet and Kiba bookended her.

"Yeah, just needed some rest," she gave them a small smile.

"Glad we didn't lose beanie boy. Though it was damn close from what Akasa said." Kiba took a drink of juice.

Andy nodded, "Yeah, it was pretty bad."

As if summoned, Yamae materialized. He was cuddling something close to his chest with a soft smile. He raised his head, the smile getting bigger as he saw her.

Andy raised an eyebrow but smiled. "How are you today?"

"Feel energized. By the way, this is for you. My way of saying thanks." He carefully handed her a snow white kitten with blue eyes.

Andy let out a squeal of delight, "Thank you." She cuddled it close.

Tet and Kiba rolled their eyes. "This will be interesting."

"What should I name it?" Andy looked at them.

"Elsa." Kiba gave her a grin.

Andy chuckled and nodded, "Hi Elsa." She nuzzled her head against the kitten like a cat would.

"Let's hope she doesn't try to eat the birds." Tet gave a laugh as he finished his food.

Andy held the kitten against her chest with one hand while eating with the other. When she was done, she headed to the infirmary, Elsa still in her arms.

Akasa looked up from checking Jun. "I thought you were kidding."

"I wasn't but I didn't go get her. Yamae gave her to me."

Akasa huffed, then stood up. "Kids.."

Andy chuckled and looked at Elsa, "Meet Akasa, he's kinda grumpy."

"You deal with Kei as a cat for hours, then see if you're not grumpy." He gave a wry smile, reaching out and gently petting the kitten. "Have to admit she's adorable."

"She is! I'm in love already and I've only had her an hour."

"Bet your boyfriends are jealous." He chuckled.

She laughed. "Oh I better go get some supplies.. Guess we're heading to the pet store. See you later." She held the kitten tight as she teleported to a shop. She got a collar and leash for Elsa as well as the other supplies she thought she might need. After picking them, and a bunch of toys, out, she paid and headed back to base. She finally let Elsa go when they got to her room, letting her explore.

After she set everything up, including a large cat scratching tree, she took Elsa back to the infirmary and started going through the books for any spells to help her condition.
