A/N: This one takes place the night of and morning after the episode "Mastermind".

Chapter 33

"I saw everything," the female voice said. "I'm going to have my brother and niece move in with me."

"They have another guest at the moment, Barbie," Ozzy said.

"My bro is helping the owl guy?"

"Yes."

He heard her take a deep breath. "Is he unable to go back home?" She asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Ozzy said.

She was quiet for a moment. "The home I just moved into is huge and the security is good," she said. "But...I don't know how they'll feel about Stolas after all that."

"What if I speak to the guards?" The rooster-like being suggested.

"Please?" She asked. "And thank you for standing up for my brother. You and Bee both."

"Your brother is one of Froggie's good friends," Ozzy said. "I'm just sorry I couldn't do more."

"You did what you could," she said. "I'll call my bro tomorrow."

"I'll clear some time on my schedule to talk to the guards at your home," he said.

She told him the address and then he hung up the phone, nodding. He went back to the living room to see it was all ready for a pizza party. "How about the kids pick a movie first and then the rest of us can watch another movie after the kids go to bed?" Vox suggested.

Magic nodded in agreement and Angel nodded too. "Sounds fair," he said.

Oliver picked a movie to watch and they all gathered around, eating pizza and relaxing. Vox also fed Raya, who was sleepy after she had finished her bottle. Oliver was about to fall asleep too just as the movie came to an end.

Magic stood up and picked up Oliver, who snuggled into her hug, resting his head on her shoulder. Fizz then noticed Ozzy was practically falling asleep too. Angel got up and motioned to Ozzy, to which Fizz nodded and the two helped the rooster-like being to his feet, guiding him down the hall to the bedroom.

Ozzy let them, nodding his head sleepily. "How are you two not tired?" He asked.

"We didn't get pulled from our beauty rest into a courtroom today," Angel joked lightly.

"He's right," Fizz said, smiling a little. "You're sleeping in tomorrow, Ozzy."

As this was going on, Magic put Oliver to bed, tucking him in and kissing his forehead in affection. "Night, Aunty," the boy said sleepily.

"Good night, Champ. Sweet dreams," she signed to him.

Seeing he was now sound asleep, she quietly left, closing the door behind her and going down the hallway to Raya's room, finding Vox was about to put the baby shark in the crib, but the little one whimpered a little. "What's wrong, Raya?" He asked gently, hugging his daughter.

Magic came in and ran a hand gently over her daughter's head, making the little one look up at her and reach for her. Vox handed the little girl to the dancer and as soon as the child was in her arms, Raya settled down, resting her head against her mother's shoulder, her eyes closing sleepily.

"Oh, I see," Vox said softly. "She wanted Mommy to put her to bed."

Magic smiled. "Guess so," she signed.

Vox smiled, not offended. He and Magic, as good doting parents, took turns putting Raya to bed at night and feeding her when she was hungry. Some nights the baby wanted her mother and other nights she'd want her father. They found it to be adorable.

He now watched as his lovely dancer put their daughter to bed and he turned on the nightlight for his little girl. "There," he said softly.

"Goodnight, my sweet one," Magic signed to the baby.

"Goodnight, sweetie," Vox said to his daughter.

Raya fell asleep, unable to ignore the call to sleep any longer. Magic and Vox headed out to their room where the dancer kissed the television being as he held her close. "Today was quite a day, huh?" He asked.

She nodded and her hands gently undid his bowtie and suit jacket, which he allowed her to remove as he continued to hold her. "Magic," he said, making her look at him. "I...Can I just hold you tonight? Please?"

Seeing he was still shook up about what he saw on the television, she nodded and hugged him, giving him another kiss. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, setting her down before laying down beside her, holding her protectively. "I...I'm scared I'll wake up and...,"

Magic placed a finger gently over his mouth, smiling gently. "I'll be right here, Sparky," she reassured him.

Comforted, they joined the others into a peaceful sleep.

Early the next morning, Ozzy woke up and quickly dressed, tucking the covers around Fizz carefully and then checking on the others. Oliver and Angel were both sound asleep in their own rooms and Raya was still sound asleep. He then saw Magic and Vox also sound asleep. Nodding, he left a note and headed out.

It seemed he wasn't the only one up and about as he went to Barbie's new home and she was at the gate with the guards. He heard Barbie tell them that Stolas needed to be safe just as she, her brother, and niece needed to be. The guards listened and said as long as there was no trouble from her or the others, they would make sure no one unauthorized would get in.

Ozzy went up to the guards and gave them some extra pay, satisfied when the guards agreed to make sure no one would bug Barbie's family. She turned to him and smiled. "Hey," she said. "My bro said he'd be here soon. It's going to take a few trips with the van to move all their stuff."

"He has a crystal that can teleport him," Ozzy said. "He can use that just fine."

"That would save a lot of time and energy," Barbie agreed, calling her brother to tell him that. Hearing of the easier way, Blitz agreed to it and said he and Loona would be there in a couple hours.

Back at the palace, Fizz woke up and looked around, not seeing Ozzy. "Ozzy?" He asked, getting up and looking around. He smelled something cooking and baking, heading out to the kitchen in his pajamas to find Magic and Angel cooking breakfast. Fizz looked around, but didn't see anyone else. "Morning, guys," he said.

"Morning, Fizz," Angel said, smiling.

"Good morning, Fizz," Magic signed. "Breakfast is almost ready."

"Got chocolate chip muffins nearly ready too," the spider being said.

"Where's Ozzy?" Fizz asked curiously as he got some coffee.

Vox came in with Raya in his arms just in time to hear Fizz's question. "He's not with you?" The television being asked the jester.

"No," Fizz said. "And he didn't leave the palace."

"How can you tell?" Angel asked curiously.

"For one, he'd never leave without leaving a note," the jester said.

Vox went to the fridge to get a bottle of milk for Raya when he saw something on the fridge and he plucked it carefully off the door. "Like this note?" He asked, holding it up.

Magic took the note and read it before nodding, handing it to Fizz, who read it aloud.

"Gone to take care of something. Will be back soon."

Just then, the door opened and Ozzy stepped in with a smile. "Ozzy!" Fizz said, leaping towards him.

The rooster-like being caught him, a bit confused. "We just saw your note now," Vox explained.

"Oh," Ozzy said understandingly. "Sorry. I didn't want to wake you all so early this morning."

"Where'd you go?" Angel asked curiously.

"Blitz's sister called and she's having Blitz, Loona, and Stolas move in with her," the rooster-like being said.

"How are they holding up after yesterday?" Magic signed.

"They're doing better, but things are going to be rocky for a bit with Stolas," Ozzy said, looking sad. "He's worried about Octavia."

"Bad home situation?" Vox asked.

"Not exactly, but not far off the nose either," the tall being said.

"Think they'll be okay?" Fizz asked.

"We'll have to see," Ozzy said before he noticed Oliver walk into the kitchen, his face lighting up at seeing his family there.

"Morning!" The little boy chirped happily.

Angel smiled. "Just in time, kiddo," he said. "Breakfast and muffins are ready, everyone."

They weren't the only ones. Barbie was making pancakes for her family and guest for breakfast, making the recipe from heart as she smiled. Blitz came into the kitchen and he paused before looking at Barbie, who smiled and nodded. "Mom's pancakes," she said.

He smiled as Loona and Stolas came out, the owl looking a bit better, but still a bit sad. He did smell the air and blinked. "What is that delightful smell?" He asked curiously.

"Pancakes. My mom's recipe," Barbie said.

"They smell good," Loona said, smiling at her aunt, who smiled back before bringing the food to the table and they all ate, the good food putting them all in a better mood and ready to tackle whatever came their way.
