"Would you stop doing that!" Bushroot said, standing up and jumping a few times. The pacing Megavolt stopped, and turned to look at him, confused.

"Doing what?"

"Nevermind..." Bushroot sighed, and sat back down, resting his elbows on his knees, and his chin in his hands. Megavolt sat down on the floor, lazily. He began to stare at the carpet, still feeling an odd responsibility, this strange feeling it was his fault, so he had to do something. He and Bushroot had gotten back, and he'd helped Megavolt recharge, and no sooner had then sat down, then Kevin (Megavolt's T.V.), turned on the news. Apparently Megavolt's 'newest creation', as the newscaster so wonderfully dubbed her, had torn apart the zoo, and rushed into the street in a roaring rampage. They had pictures.

"Why am I not surprised..." Megavolt's head snapped up as his young cousin, Mina walked into the room. She stood by the fireplace, and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at them angrily and tapping her boot against the floor. Megavolt cocked his head to one side, confused. Mina sighed and sat down next to Bushroot with a small grin.

"Mina, what are you doing up?" Megavolt asked finally, bringing his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them.

"Do you have to ask?" She said, looking at his blank face. "Nevermind." She sighed, and brought her boots up onto the couch, sitting exactly like her older cousin. Bushroot looked at her, then to Megavolt, then back to her and shook his head. "You guys are so loud. I can hear you whining a mile away,"

"Watch it small fry."

"Spark-plug!"

"Small fry!"

"Socket brains!"

"Small fry!"

"ENOUGH!" Bushroot said, standing again. He sighed and sat back down. "Ok, now, stop fighting." He looked at Mina, then Megavolt. The little girl stuck her tongue out at her cousin, then crossed her arms over her chest. Megavolt sighed, and mumbled something to himself.

"So, who is this 'she' you guys are rambling about?" Megavolt looked up at Mina, and growled slightly.

"Go to bed Mina." He mumbled. "I tell you tomorrow."

"You're not my father, Elmo." She said harshly, using his first name as opposed to the name he went by now.

"Mina!" He stood, and sighed then sat back down. "A..... just someone we.. ran into." He finished slowly. Bushroot decided not to say anything, he had questions, but obviously Megavolt didn't want Mina to know about the vixen, so his questions would have to wait.
