Dranzer was preening so she didn't notice him moving closer.

Panda sped up because she could feel them closer.

Aralie was now floating about five feet in the air.

"Rei? !" She proved her knowledge of Japanese from her brother-in-law by yelling out a naughty word O.o;
"STUPID DRIVER!" she yelled after the car (hit and run OO) before hurrying up to Rei. "Whoa, you okay? Rei?"

Dinari smirked to himself and stayed but, dipping one fore-claw into the water. "It's.. lovely," he said, breaking the silence. "Out here." Suddenly, his head jerked up. "Wha--" He could feel Kara's distress, and stood fully. "Ka..ara?"

Tora suddenly veered, and slid through a tight bunch of trees. Considering the fact that the two were both still small, it was still a tight fit to get through the maze of forest.

Ellie pushed Suki away from her bed and flomped over, half asleep already.

Drigger suddenly jumped down to the ground and by doing so had startled Kai because the tree was right beside him. oh no I lost contact with Rei what happened. he thought to himself. "Drigger what's wrong?" Kai asked. "I just lost contact with Rei." Drigger said dejectedly. "Don't worry Drigger he'll be fine." Kai reassured him.

Dranzer's head shot up when Dinari stood up. "Dinari what's wrong?" she asked concerned.

"Kara," Dinari said absently. "She.. I don't know. I.. I have to go.. to her." He paced nervously, unsure of what to do.

Kara crouched beside Rei, and put a hand in front of his mouth, and then to his chest. His heart was still beating, which was always a plus. "C'mon," she muttered, "Someone come.. where's Kai when you need him?" Considering it was night, there weren't a lot of people out this hour.

Brett and Tora slowed down once they hit the center of that tight little copse of brambles etc, and Tora lay down, tired.

Panda had lost their trail at the brambles so she decided that they would come back so she went back to the house.

Aralie was now floating with her head about two inches from the roof in her room.

"Dinari let's head back to the house they'll be back soon." Dranzer said growing a bit and guiding him back.

Dinari followed in a type of daze, not really taking anything in, his head filled with Kara's distress.

Suddenly, Ellie sat up in the middle of the bed, and gave an outraged yell. "GRAHHHHHHHHHHHIIIAAAAA!"

"Can we sleep, Brett?" Tora asked hopefully.
"Yuh." That was all Brett said before nodding off against the panther's side. It was past his bedtime . .

"Rei? Umm.. okay. I'm going to.. oh god. Umm. I'll put you in.. in the car with me. Um. Okay. Come.. come here.. Yeah, okay. Umm. Door. Yeah. Um." "Okay, there we go." The slamming of a door, and the opening of another. "Oh, dang. We need.. keys.. um, Rei? Where are.. pockets. Of course." She reached into his pocket, withdrawing a key to use on the engine. Once the car started, Kara examined every switch, knob, and button. "Okay. Umm.. Tawny drives one of these. Uhhh.." She stopped, thinking of how Tawny used the vehicle. One foot leaned slightly on the gas pedal to make her way out of the parking space, and she finally got the car from the parking lot, moving with slow, jerky movements.

Dranzer led him into the living room and settled on a chair arm watching him.

In the garden Kai had told Drigger to go in and lay down before walking into the front yard and waiting for them to get back.

Aralie's eyes shot open as she fell onto the bed. "Ouch.." she said before walking into Ellie's room. "ELLIE WHY DID YOU SCREM I WAS MEDITATING!!!" she yelled at the girl.

Ellie watched her come in with big eyes, before bursting into tears and blubbering away at Aralie. Suki sat down and tilted her head to the side, thoroughly confused.

By the time Kara got the car back to the house, with everyone alive and in one piece, Dinari had curled up in the middle of the floor, head tucked beneath one wing, shaking slightly as he drifted off. When he felt Kara's presence in the driveway, however, he sprang to his feet and hurried outside.

"Oh Ellie I'm sorry I yelled it's just that it sort of hurts falling about twenty feet even onto a bed." she said rubbing her head.

Once the car got in sight Kai got up and waited for it to pull up before walking up. "What's wrong?" he asked.

When Dinari had shot out of the room Dranzer had followed.

Drigger was already at the front door when Dinari and Dranzer came out.

"A car... it hit him. And it left, and I had to drive, but I can't drive, 'cause Tawny won't let me drive, and--" she cut herself off as Dinari and Dranzer followed Drigger outside. "Din!" she exclaimed, shocked, "Where were YOU?"
"Waiting for you," he replied, glaring at her.
"Where's the twins?"
"In bed."
"You sure?"
She didn't wait for an answer before turning back to Kai. "Fix him!" She pointed at Rei.

Ellie kept blubbering, apparently trying to tell Aralie something.

Kai ignored her and picked Rei up taking him upstairs two flights of stairs to his own room and setting him on his bed.

Drigger and Dranzer followed Kai upstairs to Rei's room.

"Okay Ellie calm down and tell me what's wrong." Aralie said calmly.

"KAI!" Kara yelled after him. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE STUPID CAR?!" She could tell Dinari was laughing at her.

Taking deep breaths, Ellie managed to give a word that was actually audible. "Pyyyyyjammies!" she sobbed.

"LOCK IT AND LEAVE IT OUTSIDE." Kai yelled down at her before asking Drigger to get the first aid kit.

"Did Kara forget your pj's?" Aralie asked.

Drigger nodded and walked back to the kitchen and got it before heading back upstairs.

"Lock it and leeeeeeeeeeave it," Kara mumbled, mockingly, under her breath. "Dinari, fix the car?"
Dinari sighed and pressed the roof thing, drawing the roof over the interior in case of rain that night. "Here." He also tapped the lock button, which locked all the doors. Kara gave him a ' ; I knew that ' look.

"Karrie'n'mummy'n'daddeh'n'bretty all left the pj's but I thinkin' Toni got some but I don't'n' I dunno if Bretty does but I wanna wear my pyyyyyyyyyyyjammies!" She started crying again. TT

"Dranzer can you make sure no-one comes in for a bit?" Kai asked his bit.

Dranzer nodded and walked out into the hall and closed the door.

Once the door was closed Kai took off Rei's shirt and saw that there was a long gash across his chest. Kai cleaned the gash before wrapping it up before checking Rei's arms and legs for any damage. Finding none he threw Rei's shirt away and covered him up and letting him sleep.

Aralie didn't know what else to say to Ellie.

By the time Kara had entered the house, she heard Ellie crying. "Gruhh!" she groaned, making her way upstairs and into the room. "What do you want, Ellie?" She smiled apologetically at Aralie before turning back to her niece.
"sniff pyjammies."
"Where are yours?"
"Not here."
"Then we'll find you something else. I'll go get your tomorrow, ne?"
"Okay."
TT
".... uh, Ellie? Where.... is Brett?"

Hopefully, Kara thought, They'll both be okay. Referring, of course, to her nephew and Rei. Lovely 3

About halfway back to the house Panda turned around and decided to wait for them to come out and take them back.

Kai collapsed into a chair while Drigger was laying on the end of the bed. Dranzer had come back in and was sitting on Kai's leg while he stroked her.

Aralie looked at them and then got up and went to her room and fell asleep.

"Iiiiii donno."
"Ellie!? You don't know?!"
"Yuh. I donno. He's alive." She shrugged. "I donno."
"GAHH! Dinari, come on, we're going out."

Panda sent a mental note to Dinari that she knew where Brett and Tora were and was going to wait for them to come out of a patch of brambles before bringing them home.

Dinari passed this message on to Kara, sure that it would reassure her, but she just about died on the spot. "HOW DID HE GET IN THERE?! HE HAS ALLLLLLLERGIES AND A LIGHTER!"

Apparently, the lighter idea cross Brett's mind as he slept and he woke up, holding his and passing it between his fingers. Humming softly, he let the flame flicker up into the air, and die down again. "Pretty."
Tora opened on eye and flicked her tail against his arm, making him drop it. "Don't," she said sharply. "Unless you want us to burn."
"Just me. But I can handle fire!"

In Rei's room Kai had fallen asleep as had Drigger while Dranzer sat on Kai's leg very alert to everything.

Panda decided not to go to sleep just in case her powers went crazy like they sometimes did.

"Okay. Maybe we oughtta go."
"I knew it!"
Dinari flicked his tail at her in an irritated fashion. "But someone has to stay with Ellie."
"You stay, I'll go."
"No." He sent his own message to Panda, telling her that he had his lighter and to watch out for sparks.

When Panda heard his message she told him thanks and stayed alert for anything.

Kara sat down on the edge of the little girl's bed, aware that Ellie was nervous. Singing softly, Kara waited as she drifted off to sleep before standing and going upstairs. She tapped on the door to Rei's room.

Dranzer flew over to the door and opened it letting Kara in.

Panda sent a message to Tora saying that her and Brett needed to back to the house as soon as they got out of the brambles.

Tora's hackles rose and she snarled at the empty air, a clear defiance. Brett wanted to go, so they'd go. He ought to know what he was doing.

"Is he okay?" Kara asked, slipping into the room.

"He has a large gash across his chest but other than that I don't think anything is wrong." Dranzer whispered to her before flying over and perching on a bedpost.

Panda sent Tora another message telling her that if they didn't get back both Kara and Dinari would be the ones who found them and they wouldn't be very happy that they had run off.

Tora hadn't stopped snarling, but leapt to her feet, startling the boy at her side into wakefulness. "Let's go," Brett said tiredly, climbing back onto his bit. Tora set off again, blocking Panda out of her head.

Kara nodded, and crouched beside Rei's head. "I hope he wakes up soon," she said softly.

Panda could sense them setting off again and set off after them since Tora had blocked her out she was really annoyed at the fire panther.

"Don't worry he'll be fine the gash just has to heal and considering him that shouldn't take to long as long as he doesn't strain himself." Dranzer reassured the girl. Dranzer didn't need to ask if the girl liked Rei since she was at the moment making it very obvious.

Haha. Poor Kara. The aforementioned female smiled vaguely and nodded at Dranzer. "Thank you," she said, moving her gaze back to Rei. Dinari had stayed with Ellie. He knew that Kara would want to be there when Rei woke up, and the gryphon was much better with young females than she herself was.

Dranzer smiled back at her before settling onto Kai's lap again and falling asleep.

Panda wasn't running as fast as she could because she wanted them to run out of energy before she did but she did have to keep them close enough to be able to sense Tora.

Tora picked up her pace, feeling that Panda was somewhere behind, and veered off her course many times, making herself very lost in the process. Brett had fallen asleep on her back, and the panther was very aware of her little master there.

Settling back on her heels, Kara leaned against the wall, closing her eyes. Her body seemed to shut down, but her brain was still moving one hundred miles an hour.

Panda felt Tora speed up and also sped up making sure that she could sense Tora. When she felt Tora speed up she did as well to make sure she didn't lose her but
