Awesome Stories May Occur : Thanks so much! When Tessa time travelled, it was within the code room's data, and not on her own powers or accord. Turbo can't physically go back in time, he can just reroute to where he last was. Similar to teleportation, kind of like a personal rewind, except it has to be in actions he's already made and places he's already visited. I can add your request to the list, and also, Mara does indeed get a love interest. I'm still working out THOSE details, but I already have the guy picked... And y'all have already met him ;)

Snake557 : Thank you! And yes, Chessy is a big fluffy boi

faolan1230 : Haha yeah I would be too. Thank you!

Flying with Mother by John Powell


*Chapter 156*

"Alright, guys, keep your wits about you," Turbo declared confidently out to his small group, everyone eagerly peered to him in a show of cute, nervous anticipation. He cleared his throat and was thrilled everyone came in close, including Chester's larger body, "We're about to visit some of the places I've been within the last week, or two. Some of it includes public places, others, places in the palace. I'll start small, and we'll go farther from there."

"Are there any side effects?" Wren worried with a sheepish smile.

"Will we get separated?" Theo staggered, the group was now alive with riled worry.

"You don't think... Maybe one of us should be left in the code room, just in case?" Berri wrinkled her nose and shrugged in cute, worrisome delight; she tried not to act as if she doubted Turbo's ability.

"I have remote control to my share of the code room, no matter where I am," Turbo soothed his friends, though he ominously held his hands out, palms up, something Wren and Theo diligently took note of by darting their eyes down to Turbo's hands, and back up to his face, as if to silently inquire just what was going to take place, "SHOULD we get separated, which... Is highly unlikely, I can teleport us all back together."

"What if we ALL get separated," Berri staggered with a small, nervous laugh.

"Wait, we're going in public?" Wren worried, he gestured to him Theo and Berri, "What if WE are noticed?"

"Turbo will just zap us away," Theo shrugged, though he warily glanced in Turbo's direction, "I mean, right? You're not planning on having us STAY at any of these locations at any given time, right?"

"Just loiter for a second, get our bearings," Turbo shook his head, though he rolled his eyes, sagged his shoulders and deflated through a hearty, annoyed laugh, "Come ON you guys, it's going to be fun. I just want to show you guys my improvement. I promise I won't torture any of you."

"Alright, alright, come on, let's go," Berri quipped as she flagged her hands downward and took another step closer to Turbo's presence, she cutely wrinkled her nose and requested above a whisper, "Do the thing."

Turbo raised an eyebrow and gave her a sly, expectant smile, and with a deep inhale, he steadied his powers and allowed his deep voice to utter a small notion of timeless energy, "Turbotastic."

Berri scrunched her eyes tight in a nervous overflow, with the sound of rushing wind, she felt her skin prickle with goosebumps. The heightened feel of electricity in the air, she began to feel her heart race with the familiar feel of it all. Knowing full well that said coding, said rush of power, was strictly under the umbrella of Turbo's ancient, powerful coding, she relished in the static of it all, like being enveloped by a bolt of hot lightning, the strange desire to fall into it's strength for an eternity. With the rush of everything that buzzed their senses, the group suddenly came to a weird calm. Berri inhaled a startled breath, fluttered her eyes open a little and was delighted to find the group now in the employee parking lot behind Sugarbucks. Everyone in the group, excluding Turbo, straightened from their nervous, hunched positions and finally got a good look about.

"Sugarbucks," Wren mumbled, he crossed his arms and kindly gave Turbo a knowing smile of pure tease, "Wow, so adventurous."

"This isn't the only place I've been!" Turbo argued with a hard laugh as the group relaxed in a small sag, to which Chester waggled his head a little and straightened out the beautiful red and orange fur on his neck and mane.

"Twenty bucks we only go to places in the palace," Theo muttered, though everyone tightened in a draw of suspended terror as Turbo held out his palms, once more, cueing to everyone that they were about to back track.

In the rush of warping that the gang was finally beginning to get used to, the electricity in their ears warbled in a mix of crackled lightning and reversed conversation. Berri dared to open her eyes amidst the short transition and was floored to find a splay of color, light and indistinguishable places, like traveling on board a rainbow in the midst of a terrifying lightning storm. Before she could allow terror to plague her, she shut her eyes tight in the thud of arriving at their next destination and eased to a sag of softness. Berri fluttered open her eyes and felt her brain immediately recognize the sound of what seemed to be the whirring of an air compressor, the clanking of power tools and other automobile equipment, Berri inhaled a shaky breath and tenderly looked about a massive, unfamiliar warehouse and auto parts store.

"Hey, Turbo," A grungy looking technician, from two dozen feet away, loudly called with a wave of his clawed hand and arm.

"Bobby," Turbo happily called as he straightened and softly waved, and although Wren, Theo and Berri looked to be entirely shellshocked, Turbo looked as comfortable as ever. A few stragglers of customers, nearby, stopped and ogled the group in a soft show of surprise, though somehow, the mechanics and shops associates looked as if they were unphased, as if this was potentially a common occurrence for them, for Turbo to be popping up in random places and times, like such.

"Hows the Lumos now that it's outfitted with turbo?" Bobby's deep voice wondered as he stood calmly with another customer, and although the customer looked stunned by the whole ordeal, the two casually carried on their conversation.

"Drives like a dream, appreciated your help with it," Turbo pressed with whole confidence, and it was here did Berri furrow her eyebrows in a roll of entire disbelief and hone her whole attention to her boyfriend; someone who was entirely terrified to go out in public, once upon a time, "I can build an engine from the ground up, but I'm useless when it comes to the brand."

"Americans," Bobby scoffed with a gesture, though he cocked an eyebrow and finally smiled towards the small group Turbo had with him, which included the big and bumbling Chester, "Whose your friends?"

"Ah, my best guy friends, and lovely girlfriend," Turbo introduced gently as he warmly placed his masculine hand on the broad of Berri's lower back, "Got Wren, Theo, Chester here, and, princess Berri."

"I-I was just about to say," Bobby mumbled in almost star struck, smiling nervousness, "Why don't you warn me before you bring royalty in here? Let alone celebrities? The place looks like garbage! I coulda, I don't know... Tidied at least a little."

"Hey, Turbo," Another mechanic, from across the way, loudly called with excitement, to which Turbo perked up and waved a little.

"Clyde, my man," Turbo volleyed, though he finally cocked an eyebrow and shot Wren a cheeky, dominant look of challenge, his deep voice pressed in Wren's direction with whole authority, "You were saying?"

"Oh, shut up, just zoom us off to your next stop," Wren muttered in irritation, though him, Wren, Theo and Berri kindly waved at a few customers that happily looked on in starstruck glee.

"See yah, guys!" Turbo called, and in a sting of lightning, the gang was off, once more.

With a hard laugh and a scrunched demeanor of whole excitement, the group was quickly warped into the nonsense of humming electricity once more, and although Berri could feel herself itching to get closer to Turbo, amidst these bouts of rapid travel, she relished in the feeling of his coding every time they were zipped off to another location. The warm enveloping embrace of his powers, Berri felt her breath becoming short, soon to be entirely taken away. With the strange feelings finally becoming the norm, the group was suddenly thrusted into the fluorescent isles of a smaller convenient store near Orion City's tallest tower, an easy stop for Turbo. Berri perked up in tender curiosity and looked around, specifically the isle they were easily plopped right into.

"And, here I thought that you code room shop," Theo blurt with a soft laugh, they looked around in wariness and was delighted to find that no one was in the isle with them.

"Hair care isle," Chester muttered in cute delight as he inhaled a few hard sniffles, his snout was pressed into the bend of a few bottles of men's shampoo.

"How did you know that?" Theo wondered incredulously, even Chester furrowed his furry brow and shot Theo a bewildered smile through blind, foggy eyes.

"Theo, what happens to all of your senses if one sense is eradicated?" Wren mumbled as he crossed his arms and gestured to Chester's more than capable snout, "Everything else is heightened. The boy can smell."

"User can I, this isle is over-stimulating," Chester finally wrinkled his snout, flatted his ears and softly nudged the whole front of his wolf-like face into Turbo's center; Turbo easily smiled and rubbed the top of Chester's head in a show of brotherly love.

"Gotta keep that hair lookin' good, then, I guess?" Berri chimed with a cute smile as she crossed her arms and looked up at Turbo through sweet, girly, twinkling eyes.

"It ain't gettin' any greyer, babe," Wren barked with a soft laugh as Turbo bashfully rubbed the back of his head and eased the group a sheepish smile, "So, this adventure has very quickly turned into... A day in the life of Turbo."

"I warned you, this is where I've been in the past week or two," Turbo argued cutely, though just as another customer walked by, far down the isle, Turbo inhaled a deep breath and opened his palms up and out, a gentle bout of preparation that had the group of four, about him, quickly tucking closer in readiness.

As the transition from being grounded, to being thrusted into a wave of a lightning storm, got a bit easier, the group lazily loosened their nervous huddles about each other. Although Berri was sure this could cause some issue, she was well aware Turbo would speak up if something were to go wrong. In the fourth pop of arrival, everyone grunted amidst the soft landing, the clearing of the air, and in the fluttering eyes of confusion and the scent that hit her brain, Berri furrowed her brows in whole, unadulterated confusion and was shocked to find that Turbo had previously visited her mother's and father's home.

"Uncle Zed," Theo chimed in boyish uncertainty, a wide smile to boot, and although Zed was tucked inside his and Tessa's lovely work den, all splayed with the gorgeous span of floor to ceiling windows, he hardly looked up from his work, a hefty mess of holographic charts and the like.

"Don't worry, I warned him that we might pop in," Turbo mumbled cutely, he playfully saluted Zed in an act of whole bravery, and with said rush of boyish challenge, he cocked an eyebrow and easily shot Zed a wide, knowing smile of a greeting, "Dad."

"Son," Zed's deep, reverberating, authoritative voice volleyed in said greeting, though his nonplussed mumble proved that Turbo was almost pushing the envelope with said pet name.

Berri raised her eyebrows in whole entire surprise, a stark splash of red easily crowned her cheeks, and although she only had enough time to look back and forth between Turbo and her own father, across the stretch, Turbo opened his palms, once more, and time warped the five away. In the thrust of movement, Berri finally popped open her eyes in unadulterated surprise and was now even further embarrassed to find that Turbo had brought the group back to her own bedroom. Berri huffed a sigh of agitation, held her forehead and almost shot Turbo a look of shy urgency.

"Hoookay, so what have you been doing in HERE, then, might I ask?" Wren loudly asked, the group of five now crowded in Berri's lightly messy bedroom, which wasn't entirely suitable for four bodies plus a whole lykata; Turbo sauntered to Berri's cozy, billowy lounge chair, sat down, lugged his left ankle over his right knee, carefully swung her favorite acoustic guitar over his lap and struck a beautiful, single chord of ringing clarity.

"It's none of your business," Turbo deep voice beautifully sang out to the room, in which Berri, Chester and Theo suddenly erupted into happy, knowing laughter.

"It IS my business, you've brought us ON this field trip of yours!" Wren shouted as he gestured his arms out in rising, playful anger, though he did whatever he could to stifle a widening, curious smile, "WHEN were you going to tell us you literally have the singing voice of an angel. WHEN."

"Also when you got so comfortable with the King that calling him DAD was easy for you?" Berri choked with a wide, incredulous smile, Turbo held his breath and raised his eyebrows in now pin-prickled surprise, he slowly returned Berri's beautiful guitar back to the stand it was resting on.

"And he called you SON," Theo blurt, everyone was now lost in bewildered laughter.

"I just got brave," Turbo mumbled as he slowly stood, though he bashfully glanced in Berri's direction and inhaled a deep breath as his eyes stabbed to Wren's, once more, "And, to answer your question, I was in here on Saturday. Napping. Happy?"

"Hmm," Wren hummed aggressively as he crossed his arms and side-eyed Turbo with a widening grin of boyish, sneaky charm, "Likely story."

"Think what you will," Turbo shrugged with a cocky smile, though everyone flinched in stiffened surprise as he held his palms out and upwards, once more, "Hold on to yourselves."

With the continuous rush of wind and electricity, Berri fluttered her eyes and suddenly felt the kiss of Sugar Rush's warm sun hit her skin, though in the weird toss about this time around, she felt their arrival become sloppy and uneducated. Berri grunted a noise of uncertainty and was suddenly thrusted to the ground, thick, though soft Sugar Rush grass all ladened with sweet golds and greens. Just barely catching herself on her hands and knees, she huffed a noise of uncertainty and urgently looked up to find that her group had been scattered. Turbo, maybe three dozen feet away, sat up in dire worry and peered about, Chester's tail, paws and wings flailed until he brought himself up on all four paws, and as Chester's cute, bumbling figure bounced his way over to where Wren was, Berri held her breath and very quickly realized that Theo was missing.

"We lost Theo!" Berri urged in a spike of terror as she quickly got to her feet, though as she rushed to where Turbo was sitting, she came within a few feet of him and noticed he was already cueing up his shared, remote portion of the code room via hot red holograms.

"It's okay, I'm sure he's safe," Turbo mumbled as he finally attempted to bring himself to a stand. With Berri's assistance, he got to his feet and looked up and around. Underneath a very large, billowy plains tree, all clad with golden leaves that twinkled in the sun, Turbo furrowed his eyebrows in whole entire confusion and lofted his muted, matte yellow gaze across the stretch of unending plains they were in. The palace was far in the distance, with Orion City on the other side of it, twinkling in the sunshine. Turbo huffed a shaky chuckle and shook his head, "How did we get way out here?"

"You've never been over here before?" Berri wondered as she winced and pulled a long, sturdy golden stick out of her blue hair.

"Please tell me why the HELL you were all the way out here in the middle of nowhere, dude," Wren loudly blurt in now entire irritation as he stumbled over to the two, though everyone jolted as Chester nudged his nose into Berri's backside and then into Turbo's chest and center as a proper show of just how bumbling he was, due to his blindness.

"I wasn't," Turbo mumbled in curiosity as he assessed Berri, Wren and Chester, to make sure they were physically okay. He inhaled a deep, refreshed breath and finally looked back down to the smaller hologram out before him, "Welp... I found where Theo went."

"Where?" Wren wondered as he crossed his arms, though he took this opportunity to get a good look around as they lingered in the sprawl of shade their lone tree provided.

"He's back in Sugarbucks' parking lot," Turbo mumbled cutely as Berri retrieved her phone from her pocket and began to text Theo, just to potentially ease his mind. Turbo smiled with positivity and heaved a long, relieved sigh, "Y'think maybe we could see if he'd grab us drinks?"

"Ooo, yes," Wren motioned his hand towards Turbo.

"Puppiccino," Chester mumbled as he lowered his head between Berri and Turbo, he finally relaxed on his four paws and hovered with the group in gentle waiting.

"Maybe we can all go later tonight," Turbo suggested cutely, "You guys don't have a single clue how much I missed you all. Even doing mundane things is a blast."

Berri sagged and softly peered to Turbo over her shoulder with a nervous frown, and although she was expecting Turbo's demeanor to be also deflated, she flinched in surprise to see him smiling into the holographic display before him. As hard as she tried to stifle it, his contagious smile so easily spread to her with purpose, she finally allowed a sweet smile to crown her warm cheeks. With his eyes confidently glued to his craft, he tilted his head and gestured his hand a little, so to continue on.

"Sorry I kinda got a little sloppy, there," Turbo mumbled with a small, bashful smile, though Berri jolted her eyes down to her phone the second Turbo's eye contact lofted in her direction; she feared being caught ogling him, "I-It's... Actually relatively easy doing this whole time warp thing with a group. I was certain I wouldn't have this much success."

"You're more confident in yourself," Wren eased knowingly with a shrug, to which Berri warmly returned her cute eye contact back to Turbo's.

"Wren's right, babe," Berri's low voice soothed as lovingly as she could, and with such, Turbo sagged his shoulders and faced the two with a humble look of gratitude.

"I-I guess... I have a lot to be happy about," Turbo shrugged, and although him and Berri caught eyes in the whirl of swirling, impending romance, he gave her a sweet smile and a certain look, as if to promise that maybe later they could fill each other's cups. He expanded his chest for a deep inhale and looked back down to the red holographic display before successfully cueing it away, "I'm going to teleport the lot of us to the palace's code room... We can go from there."

"Where WERE you trying to take us?" Wren questioned, though they huddled close in a tight circle of nervousness as Turbo successfully whisked the four away, and with said achievement, they reopened their eyes to the lovely, still, humming vibration of Sugar Rush's massive, beautiful code room. Wren raised his eyebrows in poised surprise and looked all about the glowing code boxes, the hundreds and thousands that twinkled like burning stars against Sugar Rush's glowing sunshine, "W-Wow... I-It's been awhile since I've been inside the code room."

"I love it in here," Berri sighed in relaxed serenity, she allowed her beautiful eyes to get lost in the gorgeous splay of code boxes, all surging with electricity and purpose.

"Far more majestic than my little code room," Turbo mumbled as he, too, looked up, though Berri eyed him and noted he still had on that confident, sweet smile. She long-blinked in cuteness, and before she could even begin thinking about how to navigate asking Turbo the reasoning he decided to call Zed 'dad', the code room suddenly buzzed with extra life.

"... Oh COME ON," Theo barked in whole irritation as he materialized into the code room. He threw his hands up and huffed a hard chuckle as Turbo, Berri, Wren and Chester began to slowly press closer to him, "I was just about to order myself a drink!"

"Oh, my bad," Turbo mumbled cutely, he shrugged and gave Theo an excited look, "We were going to go to Sugarbucks later. Maybe we could do something else, in the city, as well, later tonight."

"Like what? We'll be recognized everywhere," Theo uttered almost sadly, and though the group was in the rush of being tossed about Sugar Rush, everyone hovered in each others presence in an unspoken bout of stillness.

"I think there are parts of Orion City that are more outskirts, rural parts where we may not be as recognized," Berri chimed with a shrug, she tried her hardest to keep the air positive between everyone.

"I'll ask this again," Wren mumbled in playful annoyance, "Where, exactly, were you trying to take us before Theo was almost treated to Sugarbucks and the rest of us weren't?"

"Oh, the palace's front gates," Turbo mumbled, though he bashfully glanced in Berri's direction.

"Why were you at the palace's front gates?" Wren wondered, though Turbo inhaled a shaky breath and opened his palms, once more. Wren raised his eyebrows in prickled surprise as everyone stiffened and stepped in closer to Turbo, "Shit, warn us first!"

Everyone blurt out into laughter that easily got warbled and mixed with the buzz of electricity as they time warped to a different location, though in the suddenly whirl of a destination drop, Turbo felt his face get hot as to just where they had been placed. Desperate to try and get his bearings and get a grip on just the locations he'd like to be taken to, he had tried to aim for the palace's rec hall and was nearly embarrassed to find that the dewy group had been placed right at the trunk of Ralph's and Vanellope's gorgeous cross-striped tree; an infamous tree that was dedicated to the love of all royalty in palace walls, a tree in which the bark was earned for the crafting of an engagement ring to Sugar Rush's proceeding queen or princess, something that Turbo was entirely certain the group would catch on to. With a nervous choke, and trying not to seem too obvious, Turbo urgently did what he could to teleport the group anywhere but the location they were daintily placed at, and in the throw around, everyone was messily thrusted back to the golden fields they had just returned from.

A scattered, thrown mess easily fifty feet from each other, Turbo huffed a choke, sat up in the golden grass and nervously looked about in dwindling confidence. He was relieved to find that everyone had teleported to this particular location in one piece, and as Chester barked a notion of cute irritation, him, Berri and Theo began to clumsily stand and help each other up from far across the golden fields they had been tossed to. Turbo heaved a shaky sigh and got a good look about his location, though he flinched in surprise once he noticed the palace was an entire world closer than last time, nearly less than a mile from their position. With a firm sag of his shoulders in whole annoyance, Turbo groaned a noise and clumsily got to a stand. Whilst brushing the grass and chocolate dirt off of his pants, he flinched in startled surprise the second Wren's voice tenderly pressed on in much closer proximity than Turbo was expecting.

"Caught'ya red handed," Wren mumbled sweetly, though somehow his voice was laced with authority; Turbo jolted and peered hard into Wren's eyes as he, too, brushed dirt and grass off of his knees and legs.

"Yeah, I know, not the most graceful landing," Turbo huffed under his breath, he could feel his face get hot, he held his breath and knew he'd do anything to worm his way out of this impending, serious conversation Wren was sharp enough to sniff out, "I need a smoke after all this nonsense-"

"Hey," Wren snapped, almost darkly; this was enough to snap Turbo out of his shy maneuvering, and with such, Turbo raised his eyebrows and glued his muted, frozen eyes deep into Wren's. Wren stood, his white hair sharply glistened in the glorious Sugar Rush sunshine, his handsome, electric eyes hooked tight into Turbo's with a wave of whole authority, and with a great deal of bravery, Wren raised his eyebrows in dominant surge and gestured his hand out in Berri's direction, "There something you maybe want to tell me? Fill me in on?"

Turbo faltered and felt a weird sense of fear plague him. He was aware he had likely stupidly given away the fact that he was en route to one day asking Berri to marry him, though the weight of it all suddenly came sinking down on his shoulders. As Sugar Rush's future King, he locked eyes with Wren and knew that said decision didn't just include him and Berri, it included everyone in some way, shape or form. Wren eased a confident smile, side-eyed Turbo in still dominant, sweet knowing and began to very slowly step away from Turbo. Berri, Chester and Theo began to loudly laugh and chatter amongst themselves as they called to Turbo's and Wren's location, from far off, though they ultimately began to march towards the palace grounds on their own. Wren began to step out of the shade of the nearby tree they were in, he gestured a little and peered back to Turbo with a knowing smile.

"C'mon," Wren's deep voice warmly chimed, "Just us. Walk and talk."
