The two girls rushed to the scene.
"Nate-eee! You alright?" Concordia shrieked.
"No! Aipom caught itself on fire! Help it!"
"What? I thought it was trying to kill you?"
"Why would Aipom kill me?" Natural asked.
"Didn't you hear it's inner voice, silly?" Anthea asked.
"Well, no, I guess I... You're right!"
"I see, Nati-san."
"Should we just let it burn, then?" Concordia sighed. "We just got adopted, and so will you, sir."
Natural shrieked. "Let Aipom... burn? No way! Even if he wanted to kill me, I should still have mercy on it!"
"As you say, Nati-chan!" Anthea squealed, pouring some water on Aipom, and the fire too.
"Ai-ai-aipom! Thank you, miss!" Aipom said.
"No problem!"
"Umm, Anthea? You realize that's the magical water, right?"
"Yes! Yes, I do!" she squealed.
"That's the real problem."
"Hmm. So, should we take N into our family, or a-what?"
Way to change the topic, Anthea, way to change the topic.
"We should say bye to Cheryl, first! She'll miss us!"
"Well, I guess, but, where is she?"
N stared at the ground. "Well..."
"Who's Cheryl?"
"Older sister."
"Older sister?" Anthea laughed. "You are my only sister!"
"No use explaining to you, then."
"Who's this newer family, anyway?" N asked.
"A lady who works for our new daddy is here to pick us up!"
"Cool!" N exclaimed. "I can't wait!"
I hope I'm not the only one with a bad feeling about this...
