Hello, dear reader peeps, old and new, that are reading this. I come to you all today bringing the beginning of a new arc that I shall title 'Meeting Tyson' as...well, you'll just have to follow along to find out just why it's called that. ;P Hope you all enjoy the start to this new arc, my loves. =)

Ever since she had heard the story from Seth about her mom and her dad, Bayley was feeling pretty anxious to one day meet Tyson. ...Although, every time she would find herself getting excited about getting to meet her dad, the ponytailed brunette would also end up feeling a slight sense of discouragement when she remembered Seth saying that Tyson was busy with helping out as a wrestling trainer, so that was something that she always kept in mind whenever thoughts about her dad crossed her mind.

...However, the ponytailed brunette's ponderings about one day getting to meet Tyson had gotten to a point that it seemed to distract her from things happening around her, her distracted mind being quite prevalent while she was at school.

"Thanks again so much for bringing this to my attention, Stephanie," Roman said one afternoon he had gotten called to Bayley's school for a parent-teacher conference. "I'll be sure to have a talk with Bayley when we get home."

"It's no problem at all, Roman," Stephanie reassured from behind her desk. "I just wonder what could be on Bayley's mind so much lately. From what I've learned from her teachers, she doesn't have any exams coming soon. ...Is everything okay with her at home?"

"Of course they are!" Roman answered a touch too defensively before calming himself down and resuming his talk with the brunette woman. "I think she's just feeling a bit anxious because, just the other day, one of her uncles told her about another uncle that she's yet to meet and she really wants to him. We just haven't had much luck with getting in touch with him because he has a job that takes him out of the state."

"He sounds like a pretty remarkable man if Bayley's so eager to meet him," Stephanie smiled upon hearing all of Roman's story. The brunette woman had a feeling about how Bayley was feeling because she'd remember times when she was younger that she'd go stretches of time without seeing her own father because of the fact that he was a businessman.

"He really is," Roman said, smiling a bit at the memories he had of Tyson helping care for Bayley when she was a baby before his work called him out of state. "If I could just figure out how to get a hold of him..."

"Well, maybe I could be of some help to you there," Stephanie suggested. Seeing the surprised look on Roman's face, Stephanie said "As a faculty member, I never like to see any of my students feeling down or upset about anything, so I try to help them out the best possible way I can. Perhaps, ...I can help you in your mission to track down this uncle of Bayley's."

Feeling surprised at Stephanie-a stranger whose only really tie to him and the others was that she was one of the people that helped oversee Bayley's education and her safety at school-was so willing to help in their quest to track down Tyson. And, the more he thought the brunette woman's offer over, the more he felt that maybe getting help from a human could be just as much of a help as it being just him, Seth, Dean, and Sasha trying to track down Tyson. So, taking the brunette up on her offer, Roman nodded before saying "OK, Stephanie. I'll take you up on your offer. Besides, my brothers and I could use all the help we can get with trying to track down Bayley's other uncle."

"Great! Now, if you could just tell me his name, I can start trying to see if I can find him anywhere on the Internet," Stephanie smiled as she grabbed a pen and a loose piece of paper to write down the information Roman was about to give her.

"OK. Well, his name is Tyson Kidd, and he..." Continuing on as he gave Stephanie as much information as he could that would be of help to the prinicpal, Roman was beginning to feel a bit better that he was getting some other help in the Gems' search for Tyson. He knew that Bayley could only take being in the dark and not getting to meet her dad for too long before she'd try to strike off on her own to find him, so getting help and expanding their net felt like just what they needed. 'Now, all I have to do is just be patient and wait to see if Stephanie'll have any luck on her end,' Roman thought as he stood from his seat and, after shaking Stephanie's hand, left the office to head back home where he could rejoin his own search back at home with Seth, Dean, and Sasha.

Wow. Talk about some roller coaster feelings here, huh? First there's Bayley wanting to some day meet her dad (Tyson), then there's Roman's meeting with Stephanie where they talk about how Bayley's been feeling lately, then there's Roman mentioning Tyson (who, as far as Stephanie knows is another uncle of Bayley's, since Roman took up the mantle of being called Bayley's dad at school), and then (lots of then's here...*laughs a bit*) there's Stephanie offering to help Roman and the other Gems in their search for Tyson...a lot's happening here. With such a joint effort like this, will they be able to track down Tyson? This shall be answered over the course of this arc. So, until next chapter (which I hope won't take too long for me to get written up), don't forget to R&R please. =)
