LMAO. Landyn sounds like an old friend if he was so eager to prank him like that. What is Simon to you, Landyn? Your man? Your master? He did say something about a "boss." Just what is he??? 'I was left alone with the ice man.'- I don't know why but this made me giggle. “On Christmas Day. Si. He’s named Noël for a reason, you know?”- This also made me giggle. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, no, what happened? All he was doing was trying to help that guy and then he gets conked out??? How rude.

Before Reading Prologue: I'm super excited to read this part one. I don't know why. I haven't had much time to read much of anything fun, I guess, and I saw the update for the current storyline and that it was part 2 and I just can't wait to read! I also have coffee this morning and survived several college assignments at 2 AM and desperately need to read something other than textbooks. Wow, that is some tiny font. I can't tell whether it's my screen settings or the site. *zooms in five times and turns the contrast to read white font on black* Aaaaahhhh sooo much better. After Reading Prologue: I hate incense. - Same! Does something awful to my sinuses (not an allergic reaction, but definitely a reaction). Well, I'm intrigued. Thus far we only know the name of Noel, which is quite ironic that they're in a church at Christmastime with a name like Noel. I love that. But, now I'm wondering who's after them and why.

Eventually he will have one, yes. Caspin's rich, so it was easier for him to get a hold of the latest technology of everything, including language chips. Pip's going to have to, umm, sell...something. Actually, when it comes to un-explainable situations, he'll still have to resort to movies to describe it to Zane. The difference is he'd be more elaborate and wordy about it. I can hardly wait to write about Zane first hearing Pip speak fluidly. Louie: I think I made a joke to Robin about that...that the alien who talked to him sounded like an accented dialect to him, though he did understand him. The Cuddles meeting the Crew: It will eventually happen. We'll get there.

Did these for fun.

Pip's the brain and Zane's the brawn. Louie's back-up?

Thanks so much for commenting. My poor Robin's been dead silent since *checks* 5PM last night (EST), so I imagine she's been downright cramming (studying in massive amounts) ever since. This weekend is one of her 4 boards, so I really, really hope she does well! I've been copying and pasting comments to her in messages to cheer her up in the meantime, yours included. (one of the funniest was Safieri from another site who stated "Tillyyyyyy! HURRY UP! Anything could happen to our sweet little trio! Like kidnapping! That's always an option, you know!" ) Anyway, back to what you actually said. Yes, a near brush with some of the crew! And a new fun character which we might see again in the sequel (Ss'Rah? I think that's how it would be written without caps lock ). The next chapter does open up with Tilly and Jas, so we'll see what they're doing soon!

Thirdly: *whispering* Guys and gals, @Rambling Robin is doing one of her 4 boards this weekend for her Dentist Degree. She could really use a "spirit" lift about now and any Cuddlefish comments would be JUST the thing to distract her from all her anxiety. So, if you would please, leave a little comment for her in Cuddlefish. It would be greatly appreciated.

Michael’s story is a working-draft-in-progress. It won’t be posted until it’s complete. But, I certainly haven’t forgotten about it. As for Liam, you’re absolutely right. He wanted to get to know the real Seth and wanted to stick around for as long as possible (in this particular tale, it’s ‘forever,’ but real life isn’t ever quite so certain).

To be honest, Louie's POV was something we never knew we needed, either. I've successfully convinced Robin to- well, you'll read all about that later. Just know that it will be hilarious.

Good question. Who knows? I'll definitely have to discuss that with Robin. It would be hilarious if they heard him through a communicator like Dug from Pixar's Up. We'll see.

Adrian from Kidnapping is Always an Option is Zane's cousin. At one point they will cross paths, yes.

@Rambling Robin and I had a lot of fun with that! I tossed the idea out there and it took off. We'll probably be seeing more little tidbits through Louie's POV as the story continues. This is how that conversation went: Thirdly: should we have a little paragraph of "through the eyes of Louie" ? like "Louie had always been a happy dog ever since he was adopted by Zane...?” Robin: lmao That sounds awesome. I'd love it if we used really simple language for Louie. It would be adorable. Like he'd have his own name for his human and an amusing description for Pip. Thirdly: lmao all the adoration and loyalty and pip is totally a puppy in Louie's eyes Robin: I'm imagining Louie getting very protective of Pip. “Louie: Smaller salty pup scared of everything. Louie protect.” Thirdly: the whole time he wasn't seen was cause he guarded them from outside the house Robin: OMG YES! Louie has been guarding! This must be revealed.

Success! Yes, it's one of the reasons the "ancient magic" chose him. He has the tenacity to help keep balance. It's as if the planet's had enough of a beating already and wants it all to stop. Actually, as with most of my stories, there is a sequel for this one. Toma and I went a little "future"-happy and laid out plans before the ending was fully sorted out (the details, in any case...the end goal is still the same). As for the traitor, it would actually be amazing if you managed to figure out the microscopic hints as to who became explosives-happy...I went back and counted, finding one and an half hint. I fail as an author. LMAO.

The aerial ships landed on the edge of the island and everyone disembarked. The silence that surrounded them was downright creepy. Darifer wondered if the wildlife was either cowering away or if it had been blown away. "We need to get closer," Ruthed urged as he got a good look at their surroundings. He noted no movement in the foliage. A part of him worried that, if another tremor struck, they'd be affected a lot more since they were apparently closer to the source. "Just how far out is

That they do, yes. Sorry for the late reply, I'm doing my best to wrap the story up with Toma, since it's so close to the end.

“Hey, Gon, have you heard?” Gonuret turned around as his fellow tribe member called out to him. The excitement in the teenager’s voice made him curious. “About what, Jalisco?” he asked aloud. “The new Solare representative is from the desert tribe! They say his hair’s as golden as the sunset-speckled mountain lily!” Jalisco gossiped. “Oh?” Gonuret mused aloud. If rumors about the representative’s hair were already circulating, the young Solare-to-be was probably handsome. “And

Colors: Even when I think I have them figured out, I still get them wrong or mixed up. So, thank goodness that @Rambling Robin has her chart!

Zane x Pip: And the next few chapters will be a testament of that bond. (I can hardly wait) Repairs: Next chapter! Tilly and Jasper: We'll see soon. Pip's Nonexistent Lovelife with the Sepida in the Waters: 1. Sepida seem to be super shallow.

We're glad you enjoyed it. Edit: By the way, @Rambling Robin had this to say- Robin: zomg Hellshield. That's hilarious and an awesome compliment.

For once, this isn't one of MY color charts, but totally @Rambling Robin's. Here's what I got: Colors- Black - fear, terror, great distress Orange - insecure or unsure of something not dangerous Pink - worried, usually about someone or something cared about or loved Grey - anxiety Blue - arousal Canary yellow - I’m asking a question, the faster the color shift from white to yellow and back shows the urgency of the question (Canary yellow - I’m asking a question, the faster the color shift from white to yellow and back shows the urgency of the question) Pale yellow - curious (Pale yellow - curious ) Mustard - embarrassed Shades of green - different kinds of happy. Lime green - excited happy green-blue - lovey/sexy happy Mint green - this is yummy Grass green - general happiness Lavender - calm, soothing Purple - super sleepy White - surprise Starbursts of white and green - relief Swirling white and lime - omg that’s so funny Challenge display = swirling red, orange, and white Thirdly Edit: By the way, I just tossed in the text colors for fun. They, by no means, represent the exact shade Pip transforms into.

Go Matt, go! A little stubborn’s just what Levi needs.

Does this include Frost, or is that one not up for sale yet?

As of right now, yes. Both of us are quite the busybodies this year ( work + school + family= no time). So, we are focusing on only one tale for the sake of continuity and our fried brain cells. In Cuddlefish's defense, it doesn't seem to have that many more chapters left.

Robert: Stays in that dimension with Fin and the gang. Becomes a librarian, if I'm not mistaken. Habby eventually wins him over as his partner.

I agree! He's @Rambling Robin's creation, which was the catalyst for this tale to begin with.
