An Unbreakable Case
Charlie, Tom, Henry, Stanley, and Suzie all put the earplugs that the eldest Stanton brother had given to them in their ears.
"Thanks." Charlie, Tom, Henry, Stanley, and Suzie all said in unison to Kazuyuki.
"You are most welcome." Kazuyuki said.
A few hours later, Masaya awoke, Alan & Anne noticed that he had an irritated expression on his face.
"You two should really learn how to control your powers!" Masaya complained to Alan & Anne.
"Masaya!" Darien scolded.
Alan & Anne blushed scarlet, "Sorry about that." they said to Masaya, feeling embarrassed.
"Well," Masaya said arrogantly to Alan & Anne. "you two should be!"
"Masaya!" Darien scolded.
"I'm sorry, Master, but Athena never warmed up to me during the Silver Millennium after they were big kids," Masaya protested to Darien. "and Apollo always thought that he was not only smarter than me but faster than me too! The three of us never got along!"
Masaya heard Keiichi sigh gently.
"Athena was just shy, Masaya," Keiichi said in his sleep. "and Apollo was closer to his older sisters."
Anne walked over to Keiichi's side.
"Bokutachi no bōei ni kite itadaki arigatōgozaimashita," Anne said to Keiichi in Japanese, squeezing his right hand. "thank you for coming to our defense."
Keiichi yawned, "Dō itashimashite, it's my pleasure." he said to Anne in his sleep, sighing serenely.
"Kei-chan..." Anne said.
Keiichi then opened his eyes.
"Thanks for a nice nap, Annie!" Keiichi said gratefully.
"You're welcome, Keiichi." Anne said uncertainly.
Keiichi, Amara, Alan, and Amy could all tell that there was something wrong with Anne.
"What's wrong, Anne?" Keiichi asked.
"I am on a totally tricky case." Anne answered the youngest Stanton brother.
"What case are you stuck on?" Charlie asked Anne.
"Who was my betrothed in the Silver Millennium, Pop?" Anne asked feeling puzzled.
"The Silver Millennium?" Charlie asked Anne skeptically.
"That's right, Pop," Alan answered seriously. "the Silver Millennium."
Back at the Dark Moon Circus in the 1990s, Hawks Eye was getting ready for an evening performance when Tigers Eye entered his friend's trailer.
