Antauri looked at Adeline with curious eyes; the alchemist created her to see if the power of primate could withstand the reproductive cycle. He wondered many things while he stood there: would he be a good father? Would she accept him? What would change? He stood there for what seemed like and hour when he heard a voice
"So you're Antauri?" said Adeline; she had woken up and looked around to see the black monkey deep in thought.
He looked towards her with a straight face, "Yes I am….," he simply said, "and I don't know if the others informed you, but according to them and a journal entry we just listened to….that I am...your father.." he looked quite scared at the thought
Adeline sat up and put a sarcastic face on and rolled her eyes "Oh…come on…I'm not that bad……," she said with a smile on her face trying to at least cheer him up a little
"It's just I've never been a….father…before," he seemed to gulp the words out.
She just looked at him and how worried he was; she sat all the way up, "That's ok…..I've never been a daughter before….I grew up alone."
"Alone? But the entry says that you and your mother left to live on earth." he uncertainly asked
"Well I don't know anything about being left on earth, but my mother died when I was two….." she said sadly
"I'm sorry," Antauri said it like it was guilty
"Nah, it's not your fault," she said, "I grew up in an orphanage until I was 13, but I don't regret it." she knew she was lying but knew better than to say her true feelings.
Antauri was unsure on how to continue the conversation but found the words "Well, I would like to be a part of your life," he said as if trying to ask something
"Do you now?" she asked with raised eyebrows
"What I'm trying to ask is….would you like to….stay here on Shuggazoom with us?" he asked uncertainly and nervously
"Oh…..well…um…." she stuttered; she was amazed that he would even ask, but then again why wouldn't he?
"I understand if you don't want to" he said quickly but was interrupted
"No! Actually….I would love to," Adeline replied before he could assume anything else
Antauri just stood there and he actually smiled, "I'll tell the others; right now you need to rest…."
"Spoken like a true father…" she said with a smile and then she yawned and lay down as he left. When he was gone she got up and started to look around…she wasn't tired anymore; she actually felt like playing a game, but she couldn't figure out what to play. She looked around the science equipment; there were beakers, test tubes, Bunsen burners, strikers, microscopes, slides and anything else that a science nerd could possible ever need. Although she knew a lot about chemical compositions and science, it wasn't exactly her favorite subject; she tuned to find a computer she thought she'd only find in her dreams. She didn't cry out but she whispered, "Wow….no way…" she walked up to the screen which still had her stats and DNA composition on the screen. She continued to whisper, "Hmmm….never really saw my DNA up close let's see" she looked at her DNA closely looking for an answer that she had been searching for since the first time she could remember, but she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "Darn…no luck….oh well" She continued to look around for a little while longer and grew bored, "Man….is there anything to do…." then she remembered that she had her favorite toy with her when she left the house. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a hacky sack, "Yes….finally….my savior" she looked at her purple flame hacky sack and smiled. She threw it up and it fell to her foot; she started to pull a few moves and never once did it hit the ground…she was really good at this game….she continued to play and enjoyed herself for about 5 minutes….
