Knock knock
Ripster tapped his foot an glanced around, his daughter waiting eagerly to see her best friend. "Axel says he's excited to meet you, Daddy." She said. Ripster smiled a bit and kept staring down the door. It was long before the door opened. A young, beautiful Anthromorphic moth opened the door, her smile was warm and welcoming, even her big eyes were warm. "Ah, Kita! welcome back, and I see you've brought your father~ Hello, my name is Rin." She said, bowing her head. Ripster hesistated and bowed as well. "I-it's nice to meet you ma'me. I'm Ripster; Kita's father." He said. Rin smiled more and opened the door more for them. "Please, come in and make yourself at home." She said. Ripster and Kita walked in, Kita took off her shoes and smiled big. "Is Axel home?" She asked. Rin nodded and pointed to up the stairs. "He is in his room, he is probably playing his games." She said. Kita nodded and ran up the stairs. Rin smiled to Ripster. "She is a very beautiful girl, Mr. Bolton." She said softly. Ripster blushed in embarrasment. "Thank you, and sorry if she's caused you any trouble." He said, Rin laughed and waved her hand. "No, no, she's been such a dear to us. It's nice to know that Axel has made a friend~" She said. Ripster looked at her confused. "He hasn't made friends before?" He asked. Rin looked down a bit saddened but raised her head quick, smiling. "Do you like coffee? My husband has just made a fresh batch." She asked. Ripster smiled and sighed. "I'd love some." He said. Rin nodded and walked to the kitchen. Ripster looked around and nodded to himself. "Nice interior." He said.
"Thank you, it was my wife's idea to paint it like this. Even though I did most of the work~" Ripster looked behind him to see an albino Anthromorphic alligator two times bigger than him. "Holy molar do you eat Elephants!?" He shouted. The man's eye's widened for a second, but he chuckled nonetheless. "Ah, my size. My father was bigger than his brothers; so I pretty much took after him, heh~ My name is Roland." he said shyly. Ripster snapped out of his shocked and realized what he said. "S-sorry, didn't mean to be rude, It's very nice to meet you, Roland. I've just never seen you folks around here is all, and it's kind of a surprise to me. Are you guys from another country?" He asked, Rin and Roland looked at each other. "We do not come from here, we are from another dimension." Rin said
"Oh another-wait, dimension? As in another world?" Ripster asked.
"Yes, we are from a world called Traverse. We used to live in the Kingdom fo Traverse." Added Roland.
"What made you guys move here, if you don't mind me asking." He asked.
"We had moved because things back at home were getting worse. The kiingdom was being threatened by a powerful man and he was wanting to destroy Traverse. Our king had told us to move someplace safe until things were settled. We had asked the king where the best place to live was, and he said Earth. We had no idea what it was like; but we had trusted him. And we love it here so far." Rin said.
"When Rin was pregnant with Axel we were so worried about it how we were going to live here. We tried other places but they shunned us, so far Fission has been kind to us." Roland said.
Ripster couldn't believe he was meeing people from another dimension, let alone a kingdom. He had so many questions. "Are there other uhh...Traverse people like you?" he asked. Roland smiled. "Of course, there are plenty around the world. We used to roam Earth two thousand years ago, before the war that is." He added, Ripster's eyes jolted open. He's read every text book, every history book; none of them mentioned about Anthromorphic people thousands of years ago. "Oh man, I have a lot to learn." He said to himself, Roland chuckled and slapped his back. "Don't worry, I'm a history teacher to the prince. I can help you with the questions you need answering~" He said cheerfully. They then heard giggling and thumps agaisnt the wall. Ripster started getting worried that they may be playing rough. Rin giggled and walked up the stairs. "Axel-" She stopped as a nerf dart nearly hit her. "Moooom~ I nearly got her!" He whinned, Kita popped out from behind the dresser and hit him right in the head with a dart from her nerf gun. Axel fell over pretending to be dying from the shot. "Score one for the girls back home!" She shouted, she then put her foot on his chest and made a victory pose. Ripster rushed upstairs and saw his daughter, he chuckled at the sight of her victory.
Two hours have past, and it was time that Ripster and Kita head home. Rin, Roland and Axel smiled waved their goodbyes. Axel blushed at Kita waved mostly to him. "She is a very pretty girl, but wait until she's older~" Roland said as he rubbed the top of his son's head. Axel turned away and blushed more. He then ran up to his room and clased to door behind him. "I definetly see a future for those two...But I also see danger." Added Rin. Roland looked at his wife with worry. "You see their future." He stated. Rin nodded and looked down. "It is dangerous, and he will have to make sacrifices." She said, Roland put his hand gently on her shoulder and tried to smile. "We all made sacirfices, but they were for the best." He added, Rin nodded and looked out into the horizon.
