I AM SOOOOO SORRY FOR UPDATING SOOO LATE, GUYS! I've been so lazy I could kick myself so many times. Well anyway here it is hope you likey.

Claimer: I DO own Falina, Tetra, Inge, Helios, Thalnos, Fae, May, Shadow, Megumi, the plot…and uhh, I think that's all.

************************************************************************

They were walking down the road to Falina's house, Falina and Inge just glad to be back home, and everyone looking around seeing what Thalnos was like. It was a really nice looking place, lots of trees, flowers, and grass. The sky was blue and there was a light breeze, making it even nicer.



After walking down the road for a while, they came to what was a like a dead end. Only there was a much shorter road with a house at the end, more like a mansion really. It was this big, white mansion with two large doors on the front. There was also a black, iron fence around it, with somewhat larger gates at the front.



"Wow, is this really your house, Falina?" Tetra asked as they neared the gates.



"Yeah. You were expecting a cardboard box maybe?" Falina smirked.



"Well no, but your house is so nice." Tetra replied.



"Thanks. I'll show you around as soon as we get inside."

Suddenly barking could be heard. Before they knew it, some big black form came running at them and jumped on Sora, knocking him to the ground. Sora opened his eyes to see Shadow staring down at him, his tongue hanging out.

"I see you've met Shadow." Falina laughed, as did the others.

"Uh yeah, apparently I have." Sora said while smiling up at Shadow.

Shadow got off of Sora and ran over and jumped on Falina. Since she was prepared, and used to it, she wasn't knocked over. She just smiled and ruffled the fur on his head.

"Glad to see you again too." She said before he got down and went to see Inge .

Then they heard a small voice shouting. "Megumi, it's Mama Falina and Auntie Inge! They're back!"



Falina looked up and saw who the voice belonged to. "Fae! May!" She got down on her knees as the two little girls, Fae and May, ran into her open arms. "It's so good to see you two again!"



"Where'd you go, mama?" May asked as she looked at Falina.

"I tell you later, maybe as a bedtime story." She smiled.

Sora looked at Falina. "Mama?"

"Oh that's just what they call me. As you know they don't have their real mother anymore, and I sort of became like their mother. So now they call me that. They call Inge Auntie Inge." She snickered.

"Oh I see. Auntie Inge huh?" Sora laughed.

"Yeah. You have a problem with it?" Inge asked with a smirking smile.

"Nope, not at all." Sora smiled.

"Mama, who are these people?" Fae quietly questioned.

"Well, this is Sora. This is Tetra. And this is Riku." She said as she pointed to each one.

"Hi!" May smiled and waved to them. She obviously wasn't the shy one. They all smiled and said hi to Fae and May also.

"Well let's go in now." Inge said. The others agreed and followed after her as she started walking towards the house.

They started walking up to the huge house. On the porch stood a woman, rather late in age, perhaps in her fifties or sixties. She was a wise woman. She was somewhat short in stature, but with a big heart. She smiled as they came nearer.

"Megumi!" Falina shouted and ran up and hugged the old woman, making Megumi chuckle.

"Oh it's good to see you again!" She said as she returned the hug. "Where in the world did you go, child?"

"Uh, that would be a long story, Megumi. I can walk you home and tell you the story on the way if you want." Inge suggested.

"That would be great, Inge. Now, who are these new friends of yours, Falina?" Megumi asked as she looked over the other three smiling.

"Oh, well, this is Sora. And these two love birds are Tetra and Riku." Falina answered with a grin.

"Oh but you're forgetting to mention you and Sora are love birds too." Inge grinned back, and getting a 'thank you' look from Riku and Tetra, and a sarcastic 'thank you' look from Falina.

"Oh so you've gotten a new boyfriend, huh, Falina?" Megumi chuckled.

"Yup, and he's better than Caladar." Inge smiled.

"Well that's good. Well I guess I should go home now, I want to hear this story anyway. It was nice meeting you, Tetra, Riku, and Sora." She nodded and smiled at each of them, getting a smile in return. "Well come on, Inge. I want to hear this story."



Inge led Megumi down to the gates. Inge began telling her the story that she had been told by them. Falina watched as they left and then turned to the others. "Well, shall we go in?" She asked cheerily."Yeah, I have got to see the inside of this place!" Tetra said excitedly, making Falina laugh a bit.

"Ok then let's go." Falina led them up the steps to the two somewhat large doors. She turned the knob and opened the door. They all walked inside looking around.

The door opened up into a long hallway. There was a large room at the end of it, but they couldn't really see it. There were a few doors on each side of the corridor. There was an opening into the living room on the left, right after you walk in the front door. The floor in the hallway was large tile, where as it was carpeted in the living room.

You could see the stairs in the living room, and there were skylights in the ceiling. From what they could see, this was a beautiful house. The carpet was beige, the windows covered with long white curtains, and most of the furniture a red color. There were beautiful paintings and many other things here and there throughout the mansion. There were a few candles in each room, making a wonderful smell fill the house.

"Now should we go upstairs?" Falina turned and smiled at them once she had given them a tour of all the rooms downstairs.

"Yeah let's go." Sora said. Falina then led them up the stairs into another hallway, and turned to them.

"Well since it's apparent that you guys are gonna be staying here for a while possibly, I'll show you your rooms. But there's only three rooms up here,and four of us." She said as she thought it over. Sora came up and looped each of his arms around Riku and Tetra's neck.

"These two can share a room." He grinned as he got his revenge on Riku for doing the same to him once, and got an odd look from Riku.

"It's fine with me." Falina smiled. "Okay I'll show you two your room first then." She walked over to one door and opened it.

They looked inside to see a light blue carpet, blue curtains, white walls, and a bed with a white wicker frame and blue bedding. It was a really pretty room. A room that you could relax in, and would be a good place for a nap in the daytime.

They all gave some compliments on that room and moved on to the next.

"Sora, this'll be your room." She said as she grabbed the knob and turned it, opening the door.

They looked inside and saw that this room was set up similarly to the other one. It had red carpet, white walls, red curtains, and a bed with red bedding. The frame was white, but not wicker. By the way they were set up you could tell these were the extra bed rooms, but the design and decorating of them would fool you to think otherwise at first.

"Wow I like this room." Sora commented as he looked around in it.

"Of course it is, red's your favorite color." Riku smirked.

"Heh, true, that could be why." He scratched the back of his head. Falina smiled.

"Now the next room is mine, the last part of the house to show you." She led them out to the end of the hall to another white door and started to open it.



They looked inside. Her room was beautiful. It was so light. The walls were white, long white curtains covered a large window, and her bed was white. The carpet was more of a beige. Over her bed hung a long, white bed drape covering her bed.
