Chapter 21 - Troublesome Toddlers
"Hero, we wanna go out and have fun," Brooklyn whined as he pulled on Hiro's shirt, "daddy and gwandpa owe us after we told twuth." Hiro looked up from the paper he was reading to look at his father and grandfather. "You do owe them," he reminded with a smirk, "I was the one who believed them after all." "Stanley and Judy are coming with the others before lunch," Bruce stated, looking up from his own part of the paper, "we will decide where to take you then." "Yay!" both Tyson and Brooklyn cheered since Tyson had been hanging on their father's clothes in a desperate attempt to persuade him along with Brooklyn.
"Now why don't you go and play until they arrive?" Bruce suggested with a smile as the pair ran from the room. "Me gonna tell Yuki," Brooklyn yelled happily as the three men smiled at the pair. "Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to their changing back to normal," Bruce remarked with a sigh, "but I am going to miss this." "Me too," grandpa admitted as he nodded in agreement, "having the little dudes around the house has made me feel a whole lot younger." Only Hiro remained silent since he didn't share their sentiments. He would be glad when his boyfriend turned back to his normal age permenantly.
The BBA bus pulled up to the curb before lunch and off jumped five chibis, three adults and several teen-agers. "Brookie!" both Kai and Tala shouted, greeting the younger, who ran to them with Yuki perched on his shoulder. Max had glomped Tyson while Rei and Mystel greeted everyone calmly. They were walking side-by-side and holding hands like they had seen the teens do. They had called it going steady and they had liked the idea so much that they wanted to imitate them.
Hiro looked at the group and counted. There was one chibi missing and he had just figured out who when he heard a loud argument coming from the direction of the bus. Julia stormed through the gate, looking more angry than he had ever seen the Spanish girl. She huffed as she stalked past, ignoring both Mathilda and Mariah, who called out to her. She went into the house without even a glance to anyone else as the door slammed behind her.
A few moments later, Garland appeared with a red spot marring his cheek that suscipiously looked like a handprint. His silver-purple irises were full of anger as he looked around for Julia but then ran into the house. "Not again," Raul groaned as he peeked out from behind Miguel, who he had taken cover behind when Julia had stormed past, "they have been at this all morning." Hiro figured that it had something to do with Garland turning back to his normal age but before he could ask, a loud scream echoed from the house along with the sound of something breaking. It appeared that Julia had quite the temper.
"Hero, what wrong withs Julia and Gawland?" Brooklyn ask, tugging on Hiro's pants as Cosmo whimpered and dove under a bush from the loud voices, "she sound weally mad." He shivered from the anger in their voices as Tala pulled him away from Hiro and tried to comfort him with a hug. When he did that, Yuki jumped onto Tala's shoulders and started playing with his hair. "You are the one who started this!" Julia screamed as something else broke. Grandpa, Bruce and Judy ran inside to try to keep her from destroying anything of value as Hiro turned to the others. "I didn't know what I was doing," Garland snapped in defense, "I was a chibi and therefore not responsible for my actions."
"Excuse my language," Hiro remarked as more shouting was heard, "but what the hell is going on?" He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow as he surveyed the others. "Garland snuck into Julia's room last night," Mathilda explained with a sigh, "and climbed into her bed after he had placed a small bouquet of wild flowers for her on the nightstand. Well, I guess you can imagine Julia's reaction when she woke up with a normal-sized Garland draped on top of her." "Some of us are still a bit deaf from the scream," Miguel sweatdropped as more shouting came from the house. Hiro was about to ask who had screamed when Brooklyn interrupted.
"Hero, make it stop pwease!" Brooklyn pleaded, pulling away from Tala and glomping Hiro around the legs, "me don't wike ta hear fwiends fight." He started to cry pitifully as Hiro sighed and exchanged a look with Romero. "I am not going in there," his blond-haired counterpart stated with a shake of his head, "Julia has a temper that rivals that of Mt. Vesuvius. I don't want to be anywhere near her when she is about to erupt." "They fight good," Kai commented, coming from a window where he had been watching, "Garland very bwave ta confwont her. She almost worse than gwandfather."
Kai shivered from that memory as Tala wrapped his arms around him. "It oway, Kai," he reassured, softly, "I protects you." "I am beginning to believe that as well," Mr. Dickenson stated as he sweatdropped from the antics going on inside. "Got any plans for the day?" Hiro ask with interest as he picked up Brooklyn to comfort and looked toward Mr. Dickenson, "I think we owe them a day of fun for being wrongfully punished yesterday." "I had thought about taking them to the museum," Stanley stated as swear words were now coming from the house. No one was certain who was cursing though as the chibis began to play with one another after they grew tired of listening to the fight.
"They have several exhibits that might interest the children," Stanley continued as they moved away so they could talk, "and it is educational of course." Hiro nodded in agreement and the thought that this could be a bad idea never crossed his mind. "What mooseeum?" Brooklyn ask as he forgot about the argument, "pwace where moo moos live?" "Museum," Hiro corrected as he smiled at Brooklyn, who looked confused, "It is a place where they have really neat items on display. Most of them are artifacts that are way older than you." "Wike Daddy find on job?" Brooklyn ask as Hiro nodded, "that sound good."
He wiggled as Hiro complied and put him down. "Kai, Tala," he called, running to the pair, "we gets ta go out today." "Weally," Kai replied with a smile, "where?" "Ta place called a mooseeum," Brooklyn added, "Hero say they gots interesting things ta wook at." "Who cares?" Rei remarked with a smile, "at weast we gets ta go somewhere."
"I wanna go ta Chuck E. Cheese," Max whined as he and Tyson joined them, "wants pizza and fun games; not mooseeum." "Me too," Tyson agreed, "but me guess this place okay if Hero say so. At weast my daddy lets us go. When we go?" "Soon, me twink," Brooklyn replied as he looked back at Hiro and Mr. Dickenson.
"Hiro, Stanley!" Judy yelled from the house as something else broke, "we need you NOW!" Hiro took off at a sprint as Mr. Dickenson followed at a slower pace. No one noticed during the commotion that followed that Romero had slipped away. He decided that he was going shopping and avoid Julia for the rest of the day. It took grandpa, Judy, Bruce along with Hiro and Mr. Dickenson to calm Julia. Hiro's method worked the best as he tackled her from behind when she had been about to throw a vase at Garland, who caught it as she went down. He got tired of the other adults trying to pacify her through words and figured action would work better.
Julia was standing with her back turned to Garland and with her arms crossed against her chest. Garland was behaving in a similar manner as the two ignored the other like two little kids. "I will not tolerate this anymore, you dig," Grandpa snapped as he glared at the two teens, "to the dojo now!" He pointed to the door as Julia and Garland glared at one another before they walked out of the room. He followed and made the pair sit on the wood floor as he cleared his throat and began one of his famous and very long lectures.
The other four adults sweatdropped and quietly crept away. There was no way they were going to sit there for four hours and listen to him rant about proper behavior and etiquette. Both Hiro and Bruce had dealt with those lectures enough during their younger years and besides they had not done anything to deserve one. "Let's go," Judy stated as they walked out to the garden and rounded up the chibis and remaining teens after they had put a certain ferret in his cage and tied the dog to the porch. She had them on the bus before you could even say the word 'beyblade'.
Brooklyn surprised them all by throwing a tantrum over Yuki. "He wike mooseeum," Brooklyn cried as Bruce picked him up and threw him on the bus, "me wants Yuki ta come!" "Ferrets are not allowed in the museum," Bruce said as he sat down in a seat, "you can tell him all about it when you get back." Brooklyn pouted and sat down hard on the seat. "Don't even look at me," Hiro stated as his eyes turned to him, "I agree completely with dad."
"Grandpa giving them lecture," Tyson ask as he stood on the bus seat which was totally unsafe to face his father, "that weally bad." The little bluenette shivered as Bruce made him sit down and listen to Judy's lecture about how to behave in a museum. They would not tolerate any of their mischief or antics in such a place and were expected to behave. The looks the group gave her were not reassuring since they looked at her as though she had grown a second head. If they hadn't listened before, why would they now?
"Wow," Brooklyn remarked as they disembarked from the bus and stood in front of the museum, "it big." All of the chibis gathered around him and their sentiments were about the same. If the building was that magnificent on the outside, then it had to be great on the inside. "There will be no wandering off," Judy reminded as each of them paired up with another and held hands, "so don't even think about it." She glared at the group but they largely ignored her. They were looking forward to seeing the inside of the building.
"This it," Kai protested after they had entered and were looking at a bunch of old stuff, "this way I gets ta spend my day. Gwandfather gots stuff wike this in the attic." He pouted cutely as Judy popped him on the back of the head for his insolence. "Ouch," he remarked, glaring at the woman but she ignored it. After arranging to have a guide show them around, their tour started with the dinosaur exhibit. All chibis like dinosaurs right? Well, not all the ones in this particular group.
Brooklyn, who had been walking besides of Hiro, grabbed his hand even tighter when they looked at the fossils. The smaller fossils did not scare him that much but the larger ones with big teeth did. "Hero," he whined, glomping onto his leg and closing his eyes tightly, "what those?" "Dinosaur fossils," Hiro explained with a smile, "all that remains of a once great and mighty race." "They scawy," he whimpered, "specially those."
He pointed to a large skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. "It has been extinct for millions of years, tenshi," Hiro comforted, "it can not hurt you now." "But it scawy," Brooklyn murmured, hiding his face in his pants and wasn't going to allow Hiro to move. "That remind me of Dwanzer," Tala remarked, pointing to a skeleton of a Pteradon. "No it don't," Kai protested with his arms crossed, "Dwanzer bootiful. That twing is not."
"Me wike that one," Tyson exclaimed from where he was sitting on his father's shoulders as he pointed to Triceratops. Hiro sighed since he couldn't move with Brooklyn gripping his leg tightly. He picked him up again and carried him through the exhibit. He didn't look at anything else in that room but did move when they walked into the next room. "Now this is what I like," Hiro remarked with a smile at the Ancient Egyptian artifacts on display.
"Pwetty," Brooklyn remarked, calming down as he was placed back on the floor and walked with his friends. He didn't understand everything their guide said but Mystel gasp as he pointed to one of the oddly shaped coffins. "Kitty," he whimpered. "Yes, that is a mummified cat," their guide stated with a smile, "the Ancient Egyptians worshipped cats. They considered it a crime worthy of death to kill a cat."
The little blader gulped nervously and shaked to shake. His eyes darted to Rei, who was looking at the sarcophagus with interest. He was smiling with his pointy teeth showing. "They worship kitties," he remarked with a catlike grin and laugh, "hear that Mystie. You gots ta worship me." All of those gathered could not help but chuckle at the small neko-jin's remark. Mystel was the only one who did not find the remark funny.
"They mummify kitties," Mystel whimpered louder as he backed away from the sarcophagus, "don't let them take Rei Rei away from me." Mystel burst into tears as Bruce tried to explain that mummification wasn't performed like that anymore. He wouldn't listen as he threw himself at Rei and clung to him as the neko-jin started to turn blue from lack of oxygen. Mystel was gripping him so tightly around the neck that it was preventing him from breathing properly. Brooklyn looked at the mummified remains of the cat and then Rei and compared the two.
"Mystie, don't be silly," he added with a smile of his own, "those kitties lot smaller than Rei Rei." That only made the small Egyptian cry even louder as Judy tried to pry Mystel off Rei. She finally succeeded in separating the pair as Rei gasp for breath. Mystel was too freaked out to calm down however. He was running around the room in circles and crying loudly.
Their museum guide sweatdropped as did the adults. When Mystel saw a statue of Bastet, he freaked out even worse. He screamed and ran from the room with most of the chibis following him except Rei, who was still recovering from his death grip. The adults and teens called for them to stop but they followed their hysterical friend, wanting to offer comfort. Mystel could run a lot faster than them as they stopped at a corridor with two interconnecting hallways.
They couldn't tell which hallway Mystel had ran down but could still hear echoes of his cries. "This not good," Tala remarked, looking down both hallways, "what we do?" "Ty-Ty, Maxie, go that way," Kai instructed, taking charge of the situation, "we go this way." Both Tala and Kai grabbed one of Brooklyn's hands and pulled him along the corridor that went left. They ran for a while but didn't see the small blond anywhere. They hadn't even seen another adult or teen-ager.
"We lost good," Tala remarked to Kai as they entered another cavernous room that was full of strange men in funny looking clothes and hats with horns. (A/N - Vikings) "This weally sucks," Kai stated as he kicked one of the pedastals that an object was displayed on but fortunately it did not fall, "why we come here? Nothing fun ta do." "I agree," Tala added, "what about ya, Brookie?" Brooklyn of course had to agree with his friends.
Hiro had told him that they were going someplace fun after what had happened yesterday with his ferret but this place was boring. The adults and teens might have liked these exhibits as they called them but to a group of chibis, it was boring to look at things that one could not touch. Kai sighed as he sat down on the marble floor. This museum was so big that they had not seen any of the others since they had gotten separated after running after a hysterical Mystel. Tala sat down beside of Kai and sighed heavily as Brooklyn stood up on his tiptoes and tried to look at a wooden shield. It was hopeless without Hiro's height and explanation as he sighed and joined his friends on the floor.
It was very quiet; like that of a tomb as they sat there for a few moments when Tala's eyes lit up mischievously. He jumped from his seat with a grin on his face that would remind some of a devil. "I gots an idea," he exclaimed with a big smile, "Kai, let's stweak." "That fun," Kai agreed as he too jumped up with excitement but Brooklyn looked at the pair with big, confused chibi eyes. "What stweak?" he ask as he watched them take off their clothes.
"Ya take off your clothes and wun around nakie," Tala exclaimed as he threw his shirt and it landed on top of a Viking's helmet. "Hero say nakie bad," Brooklyn stated as his two friends rid themselves of their clothing, "he say ya not ta do it." "It fun," Kai reasoned as they reached for Brooklyn after they had stripped. "No," Brooklyn protested, not wanting to get in trouble as they grabbed his sweater, "It too cold." "Not in here," Kai grinned, "it feel good."
Brooklyn figured that if Kai and Tala said it was fun, then it would be okay. Besides, he was bored to tears anyway. He giggled as he pulled off his sweater but had trouble with his shirt. With Tala and Kai's help, he soon was naked and sure enough the museum was warm. He wasn't even shivering. "Hide clothes," both Tala and Kai said together as they grinned evilly and hid their clothing under a boat after ducking under the red ropes they were not suppose to cross.
Brooklyn smiled since he felt oddly free for some reason. Why did the adults make you wear clothing anyway? Wasn't it natural to be naked ? "Let's go," Kai stated, grabbing Brooklyn's hand as they started to run. They ran for a while through the museum; only encountering other patrons who either gasped with shock or laughed. Well, most of the females thought the trio was adorable but others thought their behavior was inappropriate.
Their screams brought the attention of their guardians as Hiro rounded a corner. His mouth nearly dropped to the floor from the scene that greeted him as the trio saw him. "Hero, we stweak," Brooklyn giggled as Tala grabbed his hand and pulled him along with he and Kai, "having fun." "By the gods," Hiro muttered, getting over his shock and running after the troublesome trio, "what have I done to deserve this?" Unfortunately, they took a tumble that hurt worse without clothing than with and Brooklyn got separated from Kai and Tala, who took off without him.
Hiro pounced on him in a flash as Brooklyn sat on his now very red bottom. "Brooklyn, where are your clothes?" Hiro demanded, taking off his jacket as he heard footsteps. Both Judy and Bruce rounded the corner and were breathing heavily from their sprint. "One of the guards saw three chibis streaking on a security camera," Judy stated as she gasp for breath, "I don't know if they are ours or not." "Of course they are ours," Hiro snapped, showing Brooklyn, who was now wrapped in his jacket and still crying from his boo boo, "they are streaking the museum."
The walkie talkie Judy held came to life as a security guard said something and she took off running. Bruce just looked at what he considered his two sons and laughed. "Dad, I don't find this the least bit amusing," Hiro snapped as Brooklyn stopped crying from the tone of his voice. "Hiro, they are toddlers," Bruce informed, "It is only natural for them to strip and run around naked. Children do it all the time."
"Well not this one," Hiro snarled at Brooklyn, who flinched from his glare, "I never did anything like this when I was their age." "Oh really," Bruce remarked, looking highly amused, "once upon a time, there was a little bluenette whose name was Hiroshi and he did the same exact thing. He took off all of his clothes at a faculty dinner that was being held in the dean's honor and was yelling, 'Look at me, I nakie!' over and over again as he ran about the hall. He drew all the attention away from the dean's speech to himself. You can ask grandpa about it if you like. He was there and remembers it very well."
Hiro blushed a deep shade of red from that memory of his childhood but he didn't remember it. He had been way too young when he had did that. "Brooklyn, where are your clothes?" Hiro ask as his father continued to laugh from both the situation and memory. "Don't know," he shrugged, "In a woom somewhere." "What kind of room?" Hiro inquired as he ignored his father, "there are a lot of rooms in this museum."
"Had funny dwessed people," he remembered as Hiro sighed loudly from the vague description, "wearing hats that had funny sticks on them." He put his hands up on each side of his head like he was mimicking a cow but Hiro figured he meant the Viking exhibit. "I'll help search for Kai and Tala," Bruce remarked, regaining his composure, "you find their clothes." Hiro nodded and took off at a brisk pace to the exhibition hall. With Brooklyn's help, he found their clothes stuffed under the hull of the Viking ship.
The curator of the museum happened to run by at that moment and thought he was stealing something from the exhibit. When Hiro held up a shirt with SpongeBob plastered across the front, he had to apologize. The sponge definitely had not been around over a thousand years ago; although it seemed like it. Hiro carried both the clothes and Brooklyn back to the staffroom where the others had gathered until they had found all of the missing chibis. "Why am I not surprised that it was our chibis who were streaking," Raul remarked from where he was sitting on a sofa with Miguel, who was comforting Mystel in his lap. The small blond was still quite upset after seeing the mummified cats in the Egyptian exhibit.
Tyson, Rei and Max were sitting on the floor, drinking juice. "You find Brookie," Tyson exclaimed with a smile, "where Kai and Tala?" "Still out there somewhere," Hiro remarked, darkly as he took a seat in a chair, "I wonder if we could just leave them here as part of an exhibit." The two teens chuckled from that remark as he divided the clothing. "No want," Brooklyn protested as he removed his coat and tried to dress him again, "me wike being nakie."
"Well, it is not acceptable," Hiro snapped, "you have to wear clothing or else." "Why?" Brooklyn ask, looking up at him. "Because you can't go outside without clothes," Hiro replied as he attempted to pull a shirt over his head, "you would get cold." "Cause why?" Brooklyn ask as Hiro growled. "Because you can't is why," he tried to reason, "it is not acceptable and let's just leave it at that."
Brooklyn was about to ask why again when Hiro clamped a hand over his mouth. He now understood why parents got frustrated so easily with small children. They could be annoying at times with all of their questions about every single thing. He heard laughter to see that both Raul and Miguel were chuckling at him. A glare shut the both of them up as Brooklyn became more compliant and finally allowed him to dress him.
"I didn't know that he had a birthmark," Raul added as Hiro's glare became even more deadly as he tugged the shirt over Brooklyn's head. "Raul," Miguel chided with his own glare, "stop being such a hentai." "I'm not," Raul defended, "I didn't know that he had a birthmark there." "Well, I guess I would be asking questions if you had seen Brooklyn naked before," Miguel added as his eyebrow arched, "is there something you are not telling me?" "I am not interested in him, okay," Raul snapped, showing that he had a bit of Julia's temper, "I admit that Brooklyn is hot and I know that you agree with that observation but I have eyes only for you."
Hiro didn't take the remark to heart since he heard the same thing from a lot of people about his boyfriend and ignored the kiss that followed between the two. He had even heard Tyson say things like that so if he could tolerate his little brother's slight crush, then he definitely could deal with Raul. He had just pulled on Brooklyn's shoes when his father and Judy entered the room with Kai and Tala. Judy had pulled off her sweater to put over Kai while his dad's jacket was covering Tala.
They were not as nice as he was since they shoved their clothes into their hands and made them dress themselves. Bruce was amused by the entire situation but the look on Judy's face meant bodily harm if you agreed with the chibis' behavior. "I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life," Judy groaned as she shook her head, "even Max has never done anything like this before in public. He may be hyper but why do you have to be so mischievous?" The two Russians shrugged and did not offer an answer. What did she expect from two five-year-olds?
They were not able to offer a long and reasonable explanation for their behavior. Besides even though they were a bad influence on Brooklyn, the pair had grown on Hiro, who had disliked them when this affair had started. "Mommy, me hungry," Max whined, tugging on her skirt, "can we gets sometwing ta eat?" He used his wide blue eyes as a weapon against Judy who had to give in. "GOODIE!" he shouted, jumping up, "we gets ta go ta Chuck E. Cheese!"
"I didn't say that we were going there," Judy tried to reply but all of the chibis were hyper and excited by the news. She would break hearts especially that of her son if she didn't give in now. Each of the adults and teens grabbed a hand of a chibi or two and met the others at the entrance. Miguel was carrying Mystel, who had his face hidden in his jacket while Raul had Rei, who seemed a little confused by his boyfriend's behavior. Hiro of course was carrying Brooklyn while Bruce was pulling along Tyson and Kai, who resented being treated like his rival. Judy had Tala, who was also resentful from the treatment while Max was skipping along happily beside of her.
The curator was very happy to see them leave and forbade them from returning until the chibis had grown up. Hiro smirked since that wouldn't take as long as the man thought. They boarded the bus again and went to a destination where the chibis could have fun without any repercussions. The chibis took off in all directions after they were given a handful of coins each. Mathilda, Mariah, Raul and Miguel followed their lead as they went to play video games.
"Now this fun!" Kai exclaimed as the seven chibis took over the play equipment. Well, that didn't take much effort since there was hardly anyone in the building except for them. Brooklyn giggled as he slid down a slide. Mystel was right behind him as they ended up in a ball pit that made the both of them laugh. Brooklyn was glad to see a smile on his friend's face again since he had gotten over their trip to the museum.
The adults sat at a table and ordered pizza as they watched the chibis play. "Do we have to tell the others about our day?" Judy groaned as her head hit the table, "I don't want to hear them say, 'I told you so' over and over again because of what happened. Rick and Michael will rub it in our faces along with Robert and Johnny." "I do remember Robert saying that taking them to a museum was a very bad idea," Mr. Dickenson added, "he did say that we would regret it." "I found the entire trip rather amusing," Bruce admitted with a smile but got a glare from Judy, "they are only children. What do you expect from them?"
"We should know better after everything they have pulled on us so far," Judy remarked as her frown disappeared after watching Max run by in pursuit of Tyson, "but one look into Max's baby blue eyes and all is forgiven." "Well anything is better than having to listen to grandpa's lecture," Hiro stated as everyone nodded in agreement, "I would hate to be Julia and Garland right now. I had to endure one of those after the BEGA affair. Grandpa sat me down and lectured me for four straight hours about loyalty to one's family before he let me go. I could barely stand up afterwards." Everyone laughed including Hiro over that memory as the chibis heard them and looked toward the adults.
"What you twink they talking about?" Tala ask as Kai's eyes narrowed on them. "Probably us," he replied with a smirk, "but if what we did so bad, then why they bring us here?" "Cause Hero and daddy pwomise we have fun after yesterday," Brooklyn replied with a smile as he glomped Kai around the chest, "Hero always keep his pwomise." "Hmph," Kai stated as his arms crossed and he didn't even try to pry the smaller chibi off him.
He actually turned his head and smiled at him. Brooklyn just giggled and hugged the dual-hair even tighter. "He so cute," Tala squealled, glomping Brooklyn, who was now in the middle, "how about a threesome, Kai? We steal him from Hero and make him both of our boyfwiend." Kai's mouth dropped open from that proposition as Brooklyn blinked in confusion. What Tala had meant sunk in after a moment.
"Me not yours," he finally replied as he released Kai and glared cutely at Tala, "wike me said. Me don't wike you in that way. Just wanna be fwiends." "Well, me can dream wight?" Tala remarked with a wolfish grin and a wink. "Tala!" Brooklyn snapped, pushing the little Russian backwards and sent him plummenting down a slide where he landed in the ball pit with a cry. Nothing was hurt but his pride.
"He deserve that," Kai remarked as he started to laugh along with Brooklyn, "I satisfied being fwiends. Besides, I don't wike to share." "Me either," Brooklyn replied, looking thoughtful, "'sides, Hero weally big. He pwobably beat up Tala good." "That twue," Kai managed to get out between chuckles of laughter. A certain red-head watched the pair from the ball pit and pouted cutely as he plotted his revenge.
The next thing both Kai and Brooklyn knew was that they were being hit with the foam balls with pin point accuracy. It seemed that Tala had other talents besides of blading. His throws could rival some of Michael's. Pretty soon a war broke out in the ball pit between the seven chibis or rather six since Mystel had proclaimed neutrality and wanted no part in their war. It took intense negiotations on the adults' parts to come to a truce so they could eat but all was forgiven between Kai, Tala and Brooklyn. They couldn't stay mad at each other for long.
