"Hehe, or if she really has to go when she's the boss she can have someone play for her for a bit. Then she gets back and you keep on playing." Sometimes Reth's ideas were just plain silly, but other times they were really bright. This one was probably a lot closer to the silly idea but they were both kids and he could actually act his age a little more around her.

"I'll do my best to get him out there for her birthday. It's only fair right, she gets to come out here for a party so he should get to travel over to her area. Hehe, give him enough notice and time and he can even make all the food for the party."

"Of course I'd have to get past her first. Bella's approval is just as important as yours at least to me. If she said no then there wouldn't be much point in coming to you and asking for something she'd fight you on right? But it's a thought for the future, I do respect the old customs as much as I can." Considering he was a dragon and very much enjoyed those old rituals and things. Maybe Bella's mom would appreciate it a little more if she knew that he'd have to give a show of gratitude for any sort of offer to be Bella's husband, an offer that would entail giving up lots of precious gemstones. None as precious as Bella but it was still a nice old gesture.

Verdy purred softly and returned the favor, using his tail to dangle snacks in front of Ritzi and dropping them in his mouth. Oh he loved having such a nice long flexible tail even if it had been incredibly painful to get it like it was now. Definitely came in handy when sitting with a boyfriend and trying to reach for snacks.

Megan giggel. She think he was really funny. Not the best idea to have but he was still really funny.* Well year that is maybe a good Idea but I more like to win over my mom so I would like if she could just stay here home. Or maybe we could take the board into the job. that would be really funny. But mom would not let me come to her job when she is called out. Becaous it can be really dangerous*

* Well that would make her really happy it is not every time she get visit to her birthday becous she live so far away from us. So I am sure she would be happy to see him agin. I know her mother maybe want to save up some mony so she can go to this school. That is is she like the place.* She would sure love to stay herre if Reth was around herre too. Maybe she would spwnd to much time around the resturant more than the school

Vincent smild and give him a pet on his shoulder.* Well I am sure you be a good husband for her. Abd I could never say yes to a guy I know Bella don't like him. But I am still a man of tradition. * He was sure a gentlman he remind him a lot like himself when he was a young man so how could it be that bad. unless he was in the mafia too

Ritzi smild and let his head aginst his chest and wack his tail and love to fill his pig ears aginst his scals and find his tail and bigin to rub it whit his feet paws he know he would like it.

"Hehehe, maybe that's all those bad guys needed was to play more games as kids. That'd solve a lotta problems." Of course in a few cases that might actually be true, the bad guys just having too little attention paid to them in their youth but playing games with them now wasn't likely to help.

"We'll definitely try hard to get him out there for her birthday then. It is pretty far away but if I let him miss it I'm sure Reth would complain at me for days or weeks. Hehe, would probably insist on either getting to go up for a visit or paying for her to be able to come here."

"That's good to know sir. Of course it's probably still a long way off. Heh, with her strong will I'm sure even if you did approve of someone she didn't like she'd find a way to get him out of the running for your daughter's hand. She's very clever."

Verdy held him close as they watched the movie, smiling and giving him a few more light kisses. He laughed softly when his tail was being rubbed by Ritzi's paws, wrapping it around them and grinning as he flicked the tip along his pads. "Hehe, got you."

* Well some of them are really nice and kind. Mom sometimes let me stay at the prison and talk to them. Sometimes they ask me if I want to play a game whit them. And mom say it is okay if we have a policeman to watch over us. Or maybe it is to watch over me. But I only think mom say that to be funny.* And that was okay she only want to protect her and she can understand that. She was the only child she have so missing her for over one day. But she have to live whit it if she was going to this school.

Bella smiled and look over at the tow child talking and playing* Well if you don't want to have any trouble whit him you might have to send him up to her birthday or make sure you can get her back here. But they can maybe live closer if her mother save money to get her in this school that is if she like the school. So she might want to hang out in restaurant. hop fully she don't use to much time she still have to do the school work. * She also really have to like Reth if she want to hang out in the restaurant.

Vincent smiled at him and he really like this guy. He definitely like to see him working for him if he like it. He did not want to foch to him * Well yes she is a really smart guy she was one of the top student in her old school and no one is going to pull a trick whit her. And I am sure you will find that you self. But I am sure you be happy together if it is going to be you tow.*

Ritzi smiled and could fill the tail tickle the pads and he begin to giggle and love to be close to his chest and he love to hold him close to his lovely chest. * Well I love you when you tickle me like this* He smiled and wack her tail really big. And watch the movie

Reth could understand that. He knew that sometimes the nicest people made the worst mistakes. And sometimes the worst people still had a little soft spot. His mom didn't know about Athos exactly but he did, and mr. Athos was great to hang out with. He'd been both, a nice guy that made bad mistakes and a bad guy that had a soft spot. "Hehe, they'd really have to keep an eye on things if I came with you."

"Well if she does want to move down here I'm sure Drake would be happy to help out. Hehe, but yeah it'd be a shame if they came all the way out here to move and then she couldn't see Reth as much as she wanted. I'll find a way to send him out there for a birthday though."

"Thank you. I'm sure we will be too. She's definitely very smart, very clever. From what I've seen sometimes she's bored in class because she's already so far ahead of everyone. If I didn't know better I'd swear she just reads the textbooks in her sleep or something and manages to absorb all the information."

"Mmm, good because I love it too." Shame he didn't get to do this sort of thing more often. Either with Ritzi or with his boyfriend. But hopefully soon that would all be cleared up and he'd know better how far things could go with his little friend here.

Megan smiled at him and giggle. They sure have to look after him and her if they were out on the ice. She sure would love to play belly curling. But he might be better than her because he could use his wings to flap his way faster so he can slide over the ice.* Yay I am sure we are going to have so much fun and mom will make sure we are just safe.* Maybe sometimes a little to carefull about her. But that was what the most mothers was like. She was sure that Reth mom was like her mom

Bella smiled she was sure that Crimson would find a way to send him to Alaska* Just make sure he hat a lot of nice warm cloth or ells you got one sick kid when he get home. And I am sure than if Megan got to this school she will make sure she get the same room as I did have. But I guess we only have to see what she might do whit her school time

Vincent smiled and love to hear good words about his girl* Well She has always been a big book worm. But she hat also a really active life were she love to play sports. But yes a really smart girl. one of the only persons I know that is not afraid of any test they might have to her. So I am sure if she want she could go a class up.

Ritzi smiled and love to file the tail tickle his pads and wack his tail fast he love getting his pads tickle by his boyfriend and he love to fill the rough scals against his pads. He love to fill other parts of his buddy against his pads. * Well you can do this all you want* he gave him a big kiss on his chest and rub his head against his chest.

"Hehe, moms are good for that." Well actually he'd heard about how Verdy's mom had been. Thankfully Reth never met her but she had been around here once supposedly, looking for money or something. She wasn't his mom anymore though so Reth still saw all real moms as good.

"Hehe, either that or he'd come home very hungry. Reth's got a little fire in him, he'd be okay as long as he kept it fueled up but it'd be a lot easier to just have him dress warm." Crimson tried not to worry too much about her kids but she was still very protective. She tried not to let them see when she was being the overbearing mom though.

"I'm sure she could if she wanted to, but then it's a little harder to fit in when you suddenly accelerate past everyone isn't it? Been a long time since I was in school and not sure if it's still the same but that's what I remember." Even if he worked here it didn't mean he knew how all the social stuff went down. He just saw the results sometimes and had to step in.

"Mmm, hehe, don't tempt me handsome. You'll never get away from me if you do." Verdy purred and continued teasing his friend's paws as they watched the movie together. And he took a sip from the wine that he'd almost forgotten about, enjoying the show even more now.

* Mom say it is a full time job just as hard as keep control of all the bad guys in Alaska. But if that is right I think I will wait some years till I get a mom. But not sure if I want to be that. But I got many years to think about that.* Well he know that her mother would love to have some kids of her to run around in the house. But she hat also understand that she probably have to wait some years till she get the grandchildren

Bella smiled at her. * Well lets hope the fire in him dos not turn down his inter flame. We don't want him to stay sick in Alaska. Well I am sure that Megan would be happy to have him stay at her home till he get better. And I am sure that he will take good care of him* And she will make sure that she would love to take care of him. She might want to be a nurse if she could not get to travel around whit his new friend.

Vincent was more and more impressed by his maybe new son in law. He was strong and really clever* Well I am sure that she would love to have a social in her class and hang out whit other kids on her age. *

Ritzi smiled at him and love to fill the lovely tail on his pads. and he zip his wine and could fill him getting a little bit drunk. He did have a funny filling in his head and hes belly and he snuggles his head against his chest as he watch the movie

"No worrying about the future when you can have fun today. Unless you have something awesome planned for tomorrow then you worry about the future all you want cause you wanna go do that awesome thing." Reth had a strange logic to that and it kind of worked especially if you were a kid. Still the sentiment of living for today was one that many in his family could appreciate.

"Hehe, well that would be a nice career for her eventually. Especially if her mom stays a cop until then. If mom ever gets hurt then she can be there to patch her up." And since she still didn't know what Reth wanted to do with his life other than travel it wouldn't hurt to have her as a sort of grounding influence in his life. He could certainly go all over the world but he'd need a job for when he was done with those trips.

"Yes. So while you're still here in town anything I might be able to do for you? Maybe show you around or tell you some good places to eat or shop?" There was only so much Blake wished to praise Bella when she wasn't present to hear it or disagree or agree. And her parents already knew how great she was, so now he wanted to focus on them.

"Mmm, you ever have a good bottle of wine before? A really good bottle can sometimes make you a little tipsy especially if you aren't ready for it." Verdy did hope that his friend didn't get hit too hard by the drink or else he'd probably fall asleep halfway through the movie. And while that would be a nice way to cuddle him he wouldn't get much return out of it.

Megan smiled and jump happy up and down and clap her paws. HE was a really good inspiration for her * Well You are probably right. I will have fun to day and don't think about the future. * She smiled and give him a lovely hug and a little kiss on his chin and wrap her tail around his and shake it a few time. * She just hope that she did not go to far. so that he would misunderstand her signal she was sending. she did not want that. Well deep in her heart she really love him but she still think she was a bit to young to have a BF.

*Well I have heard some stories about her take care of her mom when she hat a day of. It is not the best in the world but still she is not really old jet so I am sure she only have to practice some years to get better* Hopefully Reth was not going to be a test doll for one of her special nurse test.

* Well we are adults so I am sure that we can find around for our self But it is really nice of you to let you at our service. But I am sure that we can do it all by our self. Besides we are going to see a lot of things on our trip around the country. So unless this city has any special shops that they don't have any other place we might want to go there. Besides I sometimes think that Bella can't wait till we are gone. *

Ritzi smiled and giggle a little bit. * Well I did have some at my wedding... I mean Birthday but that was only a half glass. My mom said that a young pup like me should not drink that much on his first time. And when I start saying that I was not a pup anymore. And she got mad and I got mad and seconds after she got drunk and go to bed. And that was the end of that party.* He goggles and give him a little kiss on his lips.

Reth was a little shocked but returned each gesture as best he could. At least she agreed with him and was happy with what he felt. And here he'd been worried about messing up and her not liking him.

"I'm sure just being able to be there with her little girl is a big help already any time she needs it. And I bet her mom does the same for her." That's what family was for.

"Actually the school here is probably about as nice as things get. That's my opinion though, no real interesting sites around compared to other places I've been." Though he definitely liked the school the most out of everywhere he'd been.

"Hehe, well maybe you should take a bit of a break from it then and get back to the rest of your glass at the end of the movie. Don't want to overindulge right? Mmm, wouldn't want you missing out on the rest of the day."

Megan blush really much * Ow sory if you don't was ready I am just so happy to meat someone that really understand me. Not that my mom don't understand me that is just becaous you are on the same age as me.* She blush and look him in his eyes and smild gentel.

Bella look at them they might want to get a littel bit closer to each other better when she was not around her mother and that other persons* Well Yes it is just the best if you have you family around so you know that they can protckt you and you can protckt them* She smild and look over at her mother standing a littel for her slef and his dad was talking to her date. Hope he did not told any of her childhood stories some of them was really not somthing that should be out in the daylight
Vincent smild* Well I can understand that students like this school. You have almost around everything at this school. I am sure that she is going to have the best time she can get on this school. I only hope that she know what she will do after she left this school.*

Ritzi smild and look into his eyes* Don't be silly I can drink as much as I can whit out getting getting..... * He smild and cuddel his head under his chin and watch the movie. his tail was wack kind of funny after all the alcohol

"It's okay. It's nice to meet someone like you and to actually be able to talk like this. I have my brother and sisters but they're not the same."

"Yeah. Well they'll have plenty of time to hang out and I know that little Reth won't get into too much trouble when he's visiting. Wouldn't want mom to decide he can't go back and see her again after all."

"If she doesn't know now I'm sure she'll figure it out soon. There's a lot of options that this place can give her but she might just ignore all of them and want to be like her dad or her mom. I like her but I still can't read minds so it's hard to say." Even if he did know someone that did read minds supposedly. It wasn't like he could safely ask Bella to go to them just so he'd know what she was thinking one time.

Verdy smiled and gently pat Ritzi's head. "Sure. And I think you're at that point right now. Hehe, don't want to overindulge or leave me stuck here by myself right?" At least he didn't seem like an angry drunk.

Megan smiled and gentle rub her fur agist him and purr really silent and if Reth fill a little closer he could fill a light vibrating as she made some funny sounds whit her voice. * well I am sure that..... that....* she did give a big yawn* sorry I just could not sleep in the bus. This old lady keep snoring and another one kick in the back of my seat... so.... Meoooooow* she did rub her eyes gentle trying to look fresh * maybe a soda would help*

Bella smiled and look at her * No you are not you are going to have a little nap at my special room so you can at least keep you awake a little bit. It would be a shame if you play a game and suddenly fall asleep* he pic her gentle up and shake her in her arms trying to make her fall a sleep

* no no no. I am not a little baby anymore and I don't need a nap. I need sugar that is what keep me going. Tell her Reth* she look down at him and gentle begin to enjoy the wave from side to side,

Vincent smiled and look over at his wife* Well it is getting late in the evening so I guess we have to go out and find a nice place to stay before we are heading out on our road trip. But it is so nice to meet you. Remember to come to Italy when you have time and bring the rest of the family whit you.* he smiled and give him a card whit the Victony mansion on and the address not every one gets the real card but it did look like Vincent hat big trust in him.

Ritzi look him in the eyes* Hey you can't tell me what to do* he did a diva wave whit his fingers in front of his nose* Look I am an adult.... or 14 at least so I can do what I want. * He starts to take his shirt of and throw it far away and begin to open his belt

"Hehe, sugar only lasts so long then you gotta sleep for like, ever to catch up. Besides that looks nice to me." His mom never rocked him like that, but then again he usually went to bed when he was told or if he got sleepy. Sugar wasn't his fuel as much as it could be for a kid his age.

Blake took the card with a smile and a nod, tucking it safely away where it wouldn't get lost. "Thank you, I will certainly keep it in mind. And I will be grateful for your hospitality, I'll have to bring a nice gift to show my full appreciation." He wanted to joke about it and say he'd bring them a grand daughter or son but it might not be taken so well.

Verdy laughed, but when Ritzi started trying to take his pants off he just kissed him and tried to hold his paws so he couldn't finish. That kind of thing would have to wait if he really wanted it. "Mmm, not yet silly, wait."
