a/n: Before I start this chapter I would like more than anything to thank my beautiful readers. I know there are only a few of you, and less so that I have heard from- I want to tell you. Every last one of you, that you are the reason I continue to write these silly irrelevant tales. They have nothing to do with anything but I think they have made a few people smile and that makes me feel so accomplished.

You are wonderful people with a wide variety of stories to read from this site alone, and that you choose to follow along with my words is fantastic. I am not the best by any means, but when you tell me things you make me feel like I am sure something to be proud of though. You can so easily bring me down, but instead the lot of you seem to just cheer me up. You are wonderful beautiful people, I don't quite think you fathom how much you are worth. The only thing I can really say is

thank you

-from the bottommost depths of my swimming heart

Ale

p.s.

The actual story will resume tonight, I promise to start writing again tonight.

They once where one

As they enter headquarters there is a strange sound coming from upstairs, a bizarre vocal grinding and scraping of phonics. The sound is foreign to Mordecai, but as it registers to Maya her face lights bright as the sunniest day. She smiles so wide and then suddenly begins sneaking along the stairs in an effort to not be heard. Mordecai follows along equally quiet, but with a lot less effort. The sounds are loud and frantic, as if a deep panic has set in.
