Bucky munched quietly on her cereal, starring suspiciously at the blue alien thing across the room. After Sonny had come back with his cereal, they had sent him back down to get Owsla's goop and shards. Now the four of then were all eating their breakfast on the floor of Bucky's room. The awkward silence was only filled with the crunch of frosted flakes and Owsla's noisy licking.

"Owsla. How the crap did you become a child overnight?" The blonde's tone came out in a harsh interrogating manner.

"Bucky!" Natasha exclaimed. She didn't understand why her girlfriend was being so hostile. What was it about Owsla that made her go into super winter solider mode? "You can't expect her to know all that! She was an infant just yesterday!"

Owsla just giggled happily, completely oblivious to Bucky's menacing glares across the room. "It's okay Nattie! I know lots of stuffs! It's part of the unshinkaficayton process!

Natasha smiled at the little blue being as she tried to say the huge word. "Unshrinkafication?"

"Yeah! That thing!" Owsla nodded happily as she swallowed her latest mouthful of pod goop.

"What's the unshrinkafication process?"

"Its the redevelopment of a subject by the use of rejuvenative fluids to expedient their growth back to the original state of creation."

The rest of the room was silenced as they tried to understand what had just happened. Natasha was the first to ignore that Owsla knew that at all and begin deciphering the definition.

"...in other words, that goop will make you grow back into who you were originally?"

"I guess"

"What do you mean, 'you guess'?" as the blonde spoke up, Natasha could hear the glare in her words.

"I'm not sure what it means I just know the definition." the little alien shrugged.

"Alien science is so cool!" Sonny gushed.

"No its not! We have no idea what's going on!"

"I wonder if that's why she has boobs at the developmental stage of a child. If she was created as an adult and then shrunk it would make sense..." Nat quickly became lost in her own thoughts as she pondered to herself.

"You mean these things?" grabbing her chest, Owsla began playing with the mounds curiously, squeezing and pushing on them. "They're so weird..."

Sonny quickly looked away awkwardly, Bucky watched in astonishment, and Natasha blushed at the alien's provocative actions. Even if the alien had no idea what she was doing.

"Uh, Owsla? Don't-"

"Oh look Nattie! You have them too!" Owsla laughed and began to poke curiously at Natasha's chest.

"OH! Kaaay..." Nat quickly removed the little blue being from her, already feeling the glares from her girlfriend across the room. "Okay lesson number one: Those are called boobs. It's not okay for you to touch your own, or others in public."

Owsla just smiled and nodded, completely oblivious to the crude behavior she had engaged in. "Ok!"

Natasha fought the blush from her cheeks. 'At least she didn't grab Bucky's chest'. It's not that she would have been jealous (ok maybe just a tad) but that the semi-red head was pretty sure the poor blue being would end up with a black eye.

"So Owsla," Natasha continued. "Just how long will this 'unshrinkafication' process last?"

"A total of four days. From infant to child to teen and finally adult on the forth day... As long as i keep eating this goop."

Heads turned at the sound of sniffling. Sonny was being emotional. "Kids grow up so fast! Blink and you miss it!" As he cried, his phone rang and putting it to his ear, he let out a sob. "Hello?"

"Eh? Sonny? Why're you cryin' man? Everything alright over there?"

Tears forgotten, Sonny perked up immediately; sitting up so suddenly he almost knocked his cereal bowl over. "Joel!"

Everyone's head turned at the name that had burst out of Sonny's lips. Although they knew both of the men personally, both girls not-so-secretly shipped them. Natasha blamed Bucky full-heatedly for her Skrillmau5 obsession. As an otaku, Nat was yaoi obsessed so how could she have resisted when her girlfriend told her all these stories about them? She couldn't understand how Bucky wasn't embarrassed by shipping them considering one of them was her brother and the other was practically her other brother just from knowing him so long. Personally it made Nat tomato face and she would die if either artist found out.

Either way, the two of them watched in interest as the raven-haired man chatted on excitedly into the phone.

"Yeah, I'm fine! What's up?"

"Eeeh? Yeah..?" Joel was obviously confused but it's not like he wasn't used to the goblin's weird mood swings by now. "So whats with that picture you sent, eh? I never knew you to be crafty so why make a random mau5 ear? I'm flattered, really, but Valentines was months ago." the Mau5 man snickered on the other side.

The girls watched Sonny's face heat up from across the room. "I didn't make it!" he protested.

"You bought it?" Joel voice saddened. "And I thought I was special skrills!"

"It's not a valentines you idiot!" Sonny rambled on embarrassed. Why the hell would he make Joel a valentines? Its not like he had feelings for his best friend or anything...

"Oh."

Sonny hesitated. Why did Joel sound so depressed? "...Oh?"

"Well... You never did anything for Valentines with me this year and I thought a Mau5 valentines was pretty cool..."

Sonny was at a loss. The Mau5 sounded so defeated it made his heart pound with guilt. He stopped himself from saying something stupid like 'I didn't know you would want to celebrate with me'. Of course Joel would want to, they were best friends for gods sake! "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, Joel. We could still do something if you wanted?"

Finally, Joel couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter. "You are so gulliable! I was only teasing, I know its not a valentines, you idiot!"

"Damn it! You troll!" Sonny yelled embarrassed. He couldn't believe he had let Joel trick him like that! He knew the Mau5 man was mischievous like that.

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings!" Joel mocked.

"Joeeel!" the goblin whined. "Stop laughing, I really thought you were offended!"

"I know, that's why its funny!"

Sonny pouted as his friend continued to laugh on the other end of the line. How could that troll even be Canadian? Seriously!

When Joel calmed down again, he continued. "Anyways, I called you aboot it last night but you never answered."

Sonny's head tilted in confusion. " 'bout what?"

"Aboot the picture!" Joel hissed back irritated.

"Oh yeah! Sorry about that, I was probably too busy talking to my lawyer."

"Lawyer? What the hell's going on?"

"Uuuh." The goblin sent a glance in Owsla's direction. "That's a bit hard to explain."

"Dude what's that supposed to mean? I bet you knocked up your girlfriend."

"No... I mean yes... I mean I did but that has nothing to do with this."

"WHAT! You did? Oh man I was joking!"

"Not really. It wasn't actually mine, Charmaine was cheating on me. We broke up forever ago."

"Why didn't you tell me, eh?" Joel's voice came back uncharacteristically pissed.

"I thought I had told you. It's pretty old news man."

"Just because we've hung out since then, doesn't mean you can assume you told me! Don't you think you should be able to remember telling me?"

"Well the first time we saw each other after all of that happened I got drunk sooo..."

"Dude, you can't just assume you told me because you got wasted!"

"Maaaaaaaaaaaang" Sonny pouted as his best friend scolded him.

Joel snickered. "Though I can see why you would, since you blab non stop when you're drunk... Which happens all the time. You're such a light weight."

Said man blushed. "Am not! Shut up!"

"It's not my fault you're so short and tiny."

"You're so mean!"

And just like that the picture was forgotten. Both of them too absorbed in their conversation to remember the point of it. The rest of the group was content to munch on their cereal till they heard footsteps coming towards the door.

They had all been so preoccupied they had forgotten about the other people who lived here...

"Shit!" Natasha cursed under her breath and grabbing Owsla, shut herself in the closet with the alien. Of course neither of the siblings had to ask why she done it. They merely sighed in relief at her quick thinking.

There was a knock on the bedroom door before it opened. "Jamie?"

'Whats the point of knocking if you don't wait for an answer!' Nat thought bitterly in the darkness of her girlfriend's closet.

The truth was 1.) Bucky's real name was Jamie. But her real name felt so weird on Natasha's tongue because her nickname was used so commonly. 2.) Natasha wasn't exactly fond of Jamie's parents because 3.) They actually hated her guts purely because she was dating their daughter. In other words, they were homophobes.

So being here was actually a very dangerous situation for both of them. If they found her even just hanging out with Bucky, she didn't want to think of the consequences. And if they found her IN THEIR HOUSE... Natasha just hoped her parents would be able to find her dead body after they killed her. As far as Jamie's parents knew, they weren't dating anymore. In fact, they weren't even supposed to be in contact anymore. Ever since they had found out about their relationship two years ago, they had forbidden the two of them from seeing each other. Talk about sneaking around. Now that Bucky was 19 they couldn't enforce it anymore but currently all of them were on her parent's property.

So you'll understand why everyone in the room besides naive little Owsla was on edge as the siblings starred up at Jamie's step-mom in the doorway.

"Hey Annie" Bucky replied smoothly.

In the closet, Natasha had her eyes squeezed shut. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably. Out of the two parents to chose from, Annie had to be the worst option. If Jamie's dad found her there would be trouble but if Annie found her there would be World War 3.

"Hey... Whose car is outside? It was there when I got back from work last night."

Natasha's eyes opened wide in the darkness. 'Oh shit! My car!' She had completely forgotten about it, parked right outside the house.

"Oh, one of Sonny's crew came by but their car broke down so we gave them a ride back to the hotel instead. He's taking me with him to go get it fixed today."

Nat sighed in relief. Thank god her girlfriend could lie. Both of them had a natural talent for it but sneaking around for two years had perfected the skill for both of them.

"Yeah," Sonny agreed, nodding enthusiastically. "We'll probably be gone all day getting it fixed. Tim said I needed to get some work done, so..."

"Sonny, we've told you before, don't have random people over here!"

"Sorry..." Sonny pouted. He had long ago given up trying to convince Annie his crew members weren't random strangers.

Annie just rolled her eyes, sighing annoyed as she shut the door behind her.

Natasha breathed out a sigh of relief as she finally opened the closet door. "Thanks."

"You're not the only one who'd get killed if she found out you were here."

Ignoring her prickly comment, Nat simply wrapped her girlfriend in a hug, needing reassurance because her heart was still racing.

"Mommy?" Owsla tumbled out of the closet to hug on Sonny's arm. "Who was that scary lady?"

"She's a demon. You have to keep special charms around to keep yourself safe."

Owsla gasped with huge, fearful, round eyes.

"Sonny!" Natasha scolded. "Stop scarring her!"

"But she is! How else would that little charm keep her away?"

Natasha rolled her eyes. She could only assume the 7 yr. old man child was referring to the hand charm she had drawn. Back when Bucky was still just a friend, they joked about how Annie was a demon so Natasha had drawn a little charm as a joke to protect the two siblings. A few days after receiving it though, Annie had landed a job that kept her out of the house 80% of the time. Therefore he swore it worked.

"All of that doesn't matter right now, we've got to get out of here before someone sees Owsla or me."

"And go where exactly?" the blonde questioned.

There was a moment of contemplative silence.

"...Phishie's?"
