We're on the island 4 days. I wake up soaked a couple of times. But the unicorns clean it up so fast. Dreams are crazy on those nights. I dream about them touching me at the same time. I dream about having them over and over. I dream about having Dipak and Marcus at the same time again. Then I wake up and cry to Dipak. He would calm me down, then I would play with the girls all day. I talk to them every day. I miss them and want them so much.
On the 4th day, Celina is in the sitting room. "Your heat is over. We would prefer to escort you home. We have a lot of visitors right now, it may be difficult to have the boys pick you up."
"That would be perfect. We can surprise them."
"Your carriage is waiting."
We get seated in the carriage and Tre's feather flashes.
"Hi sexy."
"Hi baby, how are you today?"
"I'm feeling lots better. Today wasn't so bad. We went down the waterslide a lot and we petted the fish. How is your day?"
"Boring as ever. I am missing you."
"Me too."
"Everyone got back yesterday. I don't know if anyone told you. We're going to leave in 4 days. We refused to leave without you."
"I would die if you guys got stuck on some planet for a week without me. I really would die. It would be bad."
"We were thinking that too. No way we want to be without you, anything can happen. You sound tired baby."
"Maybe a little." My eyes are going shut.
"You take a nap. I'll connect with you tonight."
"No. I don't want you to go."
"I'll stay on here. You close your eyes. I know that waterslide takes it out of you."
"I love you Tre."
"I love you baby."
The next thing I know, Coral and Mary pull me up. "Wake up. It's time to eat dinner."
We're on the roof. I smile and run to the dining room.
My boys smile.
Tre shakes his head. "I've been connected to her this whole time. She never said she was on her way home."
Tye picks me up. He spins in a circle with me. "That was the longest 4 days ever woman."
They each take a turn hugging and kissing me. Then Dipak grabs me last. He pulls me against him and gives me a real kiss.
Daddy yells, "NO KISSING."
Dipak yells back, "NO GRANDBABIES."
Daddy gives his plate a dirty look. "I do want grandbabies."
"Are you hungry baby?"
"I can eat later. I want more hugs." They love on me some more.
I sit down to eat about the time everyone else is done. My boys and I sit and talk while we eat. I tell them about everything funny that happened. Then I go to bed with Dipak. He f***s me hard. I needed him so much. Then he bites my ass to mark me. The next morning, I wake him up by riding him.
After we get ready, we go to his office. He assigns everyone new seats. Well, my seat is still the same.
"This should work. Kane and Nikolas, try to keep the crazy down there."
I stand up and throw a strawberry at Dipak. "WE ARE NOT CRAZY."
"Yea sorry, I meant excitement. Please keep the excitement down there." I sit back down. "These are your seats. When we go half. Here is the seating for that. Everyone up."
Frode Tye Nikolas Tre Belaye
Dipak
Johen Dracul Miculai Marcus Kane
"Yea, that'll work."
I jump up and down. "War table."
"We're not here for the war table, sweetheart."
"I am."
"Go ahead."
Me and Thora jump into his seat. Frode takes my end.
"This is the war table."
"Thank you sweetheart."
"During conflicts or attacks, please report to me and not the queen. Also, if something is questionable about 1 of her mates, drag me into the hallway. DO NOT report it in front of her."
Thora stands up. "We had a huge problem with that 1 day. I kept having to pick her up off the floor."
"Everyone get that? And go to your regular seats."
We get seated and Tye looks at Dipak. "Can we be pirates now?"
"No, we're leaving in 3 days."
I jump up. "Me and Tye can go."
Kane rubs his eyes. "Now how are the 2 of you going to drive the ship and be pirates?"
Thora jumps up. "I'LL GO."
Johen nods. "I'm in."
Coral says, "We can do it, Dipak."
Dipak rubs his eyes.
Nikolas smirks. "Sorry we let the excitement escape. We'll try harder next time."
Everyone cracks up laughing.
Dipak wipes his eyes. "Alright, who wants to go be pirates for 2 days?" The 5 of us raise our hands so fast. "Anyone else."
Tre puts his pen up.
Thora yells, "WE GOT TRE."
Victor puts up his hand.
"AND VICTOR. YOU HAVE TO LET US NOW DIPAK. WE FOR SURE HAVE ENOUGH."
"You can not take the boat without the captain."
Thora nudges me. "What does that mean?"
I whisper, "He needs more old people to help him run the ship."
Kane and Nikolas laugh.
Thora pushes Kane's arm. "PUT YOUR HANDS UP."
Kane puts his pen up. "I will assist since I was part of the reason the crazy got out."
Nikolas nods at Dipak.
Marcus smiles. "Fine."
I jump up and down.
"Anyone else?" Everyone else shakes their heads. "Alright, we will leave after lunch. Frode will be in command. Run that command line. Now let's get back to the meeting."
Thora jumps up. "I NEED TO PACK." She grabs my arm and pulls me towards the door.
"I HAVE TO TELL SAMSON."
Kane looks at Dipak. "The crazy should be containable now."
We get down a level. "I want to spend some time with Ana before I go. And they are going to talk numbers from the arena. I didn't figure you wanted to listen to it."
"Thank you for that."
"I do have to tell Samson."
"I think I'll pack Nova."
"I would pack mine but Frode isn't going to go for 2 days. He likes longer trips."
"I get that. I'll make Coral a door and see you at the afternoon meeting."
I go up to my art room and paint some of the torture stuff. Then I paint one of the torn-up bears. After that, I try to paint a rose. It ends up dead and wilted. It's neat but not what I was trying for. It's weird. I was trying to paint a pretty rose. I try again. Same thing.
Tre comes in. "What you doing baby?"
"Trying to paint a pretty rose. It keeps coming out like this."
"Maybe you need some new paints." He spins me around and kisses me.
"I love you so much."
"I love you more baby. It's time for lunch."
"Oh, that went fast. I wanted to bring Nova. Can you help me sneak her into your room on the boat?"
"Nova, huh?" He smirks and puts his eyebrows up.
"Unless you don't want to watch."
"I do woman. Let's get her on the boat quick."
I laugh, and he makes a door to the dock town. We get Nova in his room and back before anyone knows we left. We eat in the morning room and then go to Dipak's office. Coral's already in it.
"Thora came and got me. Samson doesn't want to go. Says he just got back."
"Yea, I guess they did too. Tre said they got stuck for an extra day or some in space too."
"I want to go on your trip. I want to see META."
"We don't go every time. I don't know if they'll go or not."
"It'll still be more fun with you. I always get stuck with old people."
Tye nods. "We are fun."
Dipak stands up. "Here's the leaving list. Tre, Marcus, Victor, Nikolas, Tye, Coral, Nadine, Thora, Johen, Kane, Mary, Me. Frode's in command. We'll be back in 2 days."
The 5 of us rush the door. "WAIT. Girls, you can show Victor and Nikolas the rooms. Let them pick. And then show them the activity level as well. We can show them the rest. But we don't want to explain how the closet works."
"Of course."
"Thank you. Now you can go."
