Ky patted VC's back as they waited outside of the Doctor's lab. VC's knees bobbed up and down as she drummed her fingers on the floor. Small dents were beginning to show on the metal. Jer's head was rested against Ky's shoulder, his mind fogged as he tried to keep himself awake.
"He'll be okay, VC. Siri's tough," Ky tried. VC glanced up, her large black eyes full of misery. "He's just tired, trust me."
The vampire sighed and turned her head away, her blonde hair falling over her face in a curtain. Ky bit her lip and looked over at Victor for help. He shook his head and continued pacing. She met Jack's glance, and he also shook his head. The girl licked her lips and tapped Jer's shoulder.
He gave her a tired glance. "I need to go for a walk; can you move your head for a moment?" Jer yawned and moaned as he pushed himself up. "Thanks," she said. Jer nodded, and grabbed her hand softly.
"Be careful," he muttered. Ky froze and met his eyes; there was a look of seriousness in them. "Promise?"
"Yeah, sure... whateve-"
"Ky, please," he whispered, his eyes beginning to close. His grip tightened and Ky felt shock run up her nerves.
"Yeah, I will. I promise," she whispered, patting his shoulder. VC glanced up at the two and sighed. Jer smiled, and closed his eyes, sleep finally overcoming him. Ky patted VC's shoulder as she walked out of the room. Sora nodded at her as they passed by the doorway.
Ky grabbed her scooter-skater and laid her stomach on it. She kicked the door behind her and let herself roll down the ramps. She quickly pushed herself onto her back and grappled her foot onto the doorway, bringing her to a painful stop.
She pushed herself up and yanked the heavy door open. She closed it behind her and twirled herself across the doctor's bridge. She pulled the gate open and snapped it closed behind her. Ky then made her way down to the Pumpkin Patch.
"Ky! KYREA!"
"Brother! I beg thee to slow down!" Ky froze and gently turned to see her cousins run up to her. MiniMandy was struggling to keep up with her energetic brother.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Tomorrow's our last day here, remember? Mom and Dad are needed back home," Junior said, grabbing Ky's left hand. He had become a lot more excited over last week, trying to spend as much time as he could with his cousin. Minnie came up and grabbed her other hand.
"Oh, I am most excited to be returning home. But I shall miss thee, dear cousin!" Minnie said, looking up into Ky's face. She smiled gently and tilted her head at her.
"Yeah, I'll miss you guys. If I can, I'll hang out with you guys as much as I can; ya know, after school gets out and such."
Grim Junior grinned and hugged her arm gently. "Yeah, we'll have a whole lot of fun tomorrow!"
"Yes! We shall do everything together tomorrow!" Minnie chimed in as they waltzed into the Pumpkin Patch.
Ky finally let a smile cross her face as they began making plans for tomorrow.

Sirius opened his eyes and moaned as he pushed himself up. "Top rate, Sirius," the Doctor said as he looked up from bandaging the boys leg. "We were wondering..."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pass out," Sirius answered, sitting up slowly. "Where's VC?"
"Out side in the hall, Victor, Jer, Ky, Sora and Jack are there too... Would you like me to let them in?"
"Yessir."
VC looked up as the door was opened. "He's fine, trust me," the Doctor said, backing his wheel chair out of the way. "Bruised and tired, but fine."
'Ky was right,' VC thought as she relived herself with a sigh. She pushed herself off the bench and tapped Jer's shoulder.
"Hey, do you want to go in?"
"Yeah, sure," he yawned, standing up. "Is Ky back?"
"Not yet," Jack said, steadying Jer as he tried to gain his balance. "She should be back soon."
Sirius glanced up and smiled. "Hey, nice to see you. Sorry about fainting and everything earlier."
"That's fine, Sirius," Victor said, flashing him a brotherly smile. "Just glad you're okay." VC finally cracked and released her full fledged smile.
"Hey, idiot, what'd you do to yourself?" she teased. Sirius looked up at her and smiled.
"I'll tell you later- Hey... Where's KJ?"
"She's out on a walk," Jer yawned. Sirius's face fell and he flung himself off the table.
"Dude, you okay?"
"Yeah, but I don't know how long K-"
He was cut off by the squeal of the door downstairs. Two excited voices reached their ears. "We can go skateboarding tomorrow, I'll teach you how!"
"Yes, and I can teach thee how to ease thy movements when thou dances!"
"Mhm," Ky answered, nodding her head up and down as she grabbed her scooter. "Hey, you guys better head back for a while, I don't know if everyone else is up to seeing anyone right now."
"Okay, see ya later Ky!" Junior answered as she ruffled his hair. Minnie kissed her cheek and hurried off after her brother.
Sirius heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh good..."
VC shot him a glance. "Dude, what's going on?"
"Oh, you're up! Good," Ky called up the ramp as she jumped over the gap of the Doctor's security system. She rushed up the spiral, her scooter resting on her shoulder. She set it by the door way and leaned against the frame. "Told ya he was fine," she said, smirking at VC.
Jack smiled at his niece and motioned for her to come stand next to him. He set his hand on her shoulder and gently hugged her to his ribcage. "So, what are we talking about?"
"Sirius was about to say," Victor said.
"Oh, sorry," Ky gushed, rubbing a foot against her calf.
Sirius waved his hand to show her it was okay. Ky slid to the floor, her legs spread out in front of her. She tilted her head up and waved her hand for him to start.
"I'm all ears, let's go."
-
Davis watched Junior and Mini make their way back to their temporary home. A smile curled across his face, a plan turning over in his mind. 'Soo... she has little ones to care about does she?'
"This should be fun..."
-
Sirius had just gotten to the part about how the 'Master' was collecting 'Stars', when a blood curdling scream irrupted into the room. Sora and Ky jumped up, eyes wide in fear.
"Mini!" they both whispered. Jack turned to the Doctor, giving him instructions to keep Sirius there then turned to his niece and nephew.
"GO!"
