Balanceater

Ooh boy!

—If the Tims can't lure the Visitor out of the house and bring them into the theater, Balan would simply ask Lance to head to the Visitor's home and see what's going on. Sometimes, if a Visitor doesn't come by, this could mean that either the Visitor is injured and has trouble getting up or they have a condition where they can't leave unless someone is around to watch them.

—Balan and Lance CAN leave the theater, but only for a certain amount of time. So if Lance went to the house and saw that the Visitor was just lazy, he wouldn't be happy at all. He detests laziness, especially in teens and adults. There's a very good chance that Lance would use his tentacles to drag them all the way to the theater.

Aww, poor baby!

—Yes, Balan does miss his old friends and the previous Visitors. Whenever he thinks about them, he would remember all of the fun times he had with them while he helped them restore their balance.

—He does wonder, from time to time, how they are doing or if anything new happened to them. Did any of them get married? Start a family of their own? Graduate from a school? Or move somewhere? As curious as he would be, Balan tends not to overthink about them.

Ooh! That's a good one! Here you are!

"So far, we have plenty of Halloween candy," Haoyu said to Fiona as he looked inside his pail.

"We sure do," Fiona said. "I can't eat much or otherwise, I'd get sick. And besides, I go back to training tomorrow. Say, want to see if Balan is celebrating Halloween?"

"Even better." Haoyu formed a mischievous smirk on his face. "We can both try to scare him."

"Can Balan actually be scared?" Fiona asked, letting out a laugh. Neither of the two had ever seen Balan get scared before.

"Only one way to find out." Haoyu and Fiona flashed each other a mischievous smirk before making their way inside the theater.

The inside of the theater was unsurprisingly decorated from head to toe with Halloween decorations. To the point where it practically looked like a haunted house.

"Balan must be around here somewhere," Haoyu said, looking around. He and Fiona walked down the hallway. They reached the room that they remembered meeting Balan in. There was the maestro, standing in front of a mirror. He was currently in his Halloween costume.

Haoyu and Fiona nodded to each other. Then, they quietly hid somewhere where Balan wouldn't notice them. They waited until Balan was one-hundred-percent distracted. Then, they snuck up on the maestro as quietly as possible.

"BOO!" Haoyu and Fiona shouted together, catching Balan's attention.

"Ahh!" Balan exclaimed. "I can't believe my eyes! I've received such a scary surprise!" He then fell to the floor, his eyes closed.

Haoyu and Fiona looked at each other in panic. "D-Did we—" The two young adults bent down to check on Balan. They began to feel for a pulse.

Suddenly, Balan bolted up and made a scary face. "Boo!!" He shouted to them.

Fiona and Haoyu screamed in fright at this. But what amused and perplexed Balan the most was the fact that Haoyu screamed. Like a girl.

Balan let out a laugh. "It seems I've won this challenge, you two," He said. "But a Happy Halloween I wish both of you!" He pulled out the candy bowl that's filled with candy.

Fiona and Haoyu calmed down, quickly grabbed a piece, thanked Balan, and ran off, still frightened from the stunt he pulled.

Been a while since I've done this! Also, Thanksgiving is coming up, so here are some silly scenarios! Enjoy!

Balan: *Sets up the table for the guests that will arrive* Perfect! Everything is nice and set for Thanksgiving! Now I just have to wait for the others.

Lance: *Gets on the table, purring*

Balan: What the!? Lance, get off of the table!

Lance: *Floats two inches off of it while eyeing Balan with amusement* Get off of the table? Say no more.

Balan: *unamused* You think you're so funny, don't you?

Lucy: Thanksgiving! There's nothing more better than eating with dearest friends! *Brings in a dish with egg fried rice*

Lance: *Tries to get some before Lucy could set it on the table* What's this? I must have some, human.

Lucy: *Stumbles* Lance! Please wait until the rest of the food is done! I'm going to trip and fall if you don't move!

Lance: *Still tries to get the egg fried rice*

Lucy: *Stumbling around* Balan, please come get this cat!

Jose: Hope you all don't mind! *Sets a plate of cornbread down on the table* I made cornbread from scratch.

Lance: *Steals a slice off the plate* Delicious…

Jose: Huh? Did you just take a slice?

Lance: My slice, now. *Runs off with it in his mouth*

Jose: Lance, you silly elf-kitty…

Iben: I made some gratin for Thanksgiving. *Sets it down on the table*

Lance: Is this all for me?

Iben: No, it's for everybody. I'll make sure to give you some.

Lance: It's all for me then. *Tries to eat it*

Iben: Lance, no! Bad elf-kitty!

Eis: I brought macaroni and cheese! *Sets it on the table*

Lance: *Tries to stick his head in*

Eis: No, Lance! Wait until I serve you some!

Lance: I decide when I will have some. And I will have some now. *Tries again to stick his head in*

Eis: Cat! If you don't…

Yuri: *Eats what's on her plate* Mmm, this food is so good! Uncle Jose makes the best cornbread ever!

Lance: *Trills and looks up at Yuri*

Yuri: Oh, you want some? *Hands Lance a piece for him to eat*

Lance: *Eats the cornbread and trills again, wanting more*

Heehee! Okay!

Balan and Lance both breathed a sigh of relief. After the events of Lance's fear-inducing hiccups, the two maestro assumed that things were now back to normal. They both remembered the relieved looks on the Inhabitants' faces when their homes were back to normal.

"Ah, what a relief—HIC!" Both maestros said to each other. Suddenly, a mixture of the magic erupted and engulfed the two of them.

Balan looked into the mirror. Much to his horror, he had turned into a darker, negative version of himself. His dreadlocks were deep teal and pointed. His eyes were orange with yellow sclera. And his outfit was black with deep reds. Sprouting from his back unfurled deep teal tentacles. "Oh no—not this again!" Balan cried. "When will me being Lance finally come…to the grocery store?"

Oddly, Lance's physical appearance didn't change. But instead of talking, he…meowed. Like a house cat. "Lance, no time for games," Balan pleaded. "The whole world is now…in the dishwasher…?" Much to Balan's dismay, Lance rubbed his head against his hand while purring up a storm.

"Lance, could you please get off of me?" Balan said. "We need to save the world once more from…the milk maids?" Lance's head perked up at the word 'milk'. "Brrrt?" He trilled at Balan with interest.

(Birthday Fic for @shadowqueen402)

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIA!!

Reala scowled from his throne in the Night Dimension as he watched Aria celebrate her birthday in the real world. He could go there any time he desired, but due to the fact that he was...well, Reala, Everyone would pull all the stops to make sure he didn't get anywhere NEAR her.

But he couldn't help himself but gaze at her beauty from his small window to the Waking World. He watched as the maestros put on a special show for her, as well as many different foods from Wonderworld were being served. "Whatcha doin?" A voice tinged with insanity asked. Reala groaned as he saw Jackle leaning over his throne, his cape like body flopping like a wet towel over his throne. "Nothing of your concern JACKLE." Reala spat, pushing his non-existent head a push.

Jackle however, wasn't fazed, as he leaned on the OTHER side of the throne "I see you eyeing that visitor! She looks rather beautiful if I'm being honest!" He cackled. Reala gave a growl "Well look somewhere else. She's MINE." he said, fury in his eyes. "Well I don't see you over there, celebrating WITH her. Why don't you go there and wish her a happy birthday?" He asked with the innocence of a child. "Well, you know what's gonna happen if I go over there. I'll get a big serving of my traitorous sibling kicking my rear to kingdom come..." He stated bitterly.

"Well, I have something that'll take your mind off of it! Here!" Jackle cackled, pulling out a Brown, but fresh apple. "Here! Have some of these...happles." He said. Reala raised an eyebrow. Usually whenever Jackle gave him something, it would end up springing some kind of dangerous result in the end. Why in the Night Dimension would he bring him a Brown apple? "This isn't gonna DO anything to me right? Because if it does, I'm going to throw your cape in a wood chipper." Reala threatened.

Jackle gave his usual crazy smile "Of course not! Cross my Nightmaren heart!" He said, as innocently as possible. However, as Reala took a bite, he didn't notice that Jackle's smile was growing, and he was feeling...odd. the orange maren then began to float closer "So...About that party..." He started as Reala smiled.

Meanwhile, In Wonderworld...

Aria looked in beauty at the snowflake necklace that Iben had gifted her. The party that was held in her honor was going off without a hitch! It was actually a surprise party that Iben and Kaylo had planned together, and had gotten help from Balan to throw it. All of the inhabitants had given Aria wonderful gifts, and Balan and Lance performed a show in her honor, all the while, the Tims had given her birthday cuddles.

"Thank you everyone for the wonderful party!" She cheered, standing up from the throne that the Fort Bros had gifted her. "Of course darling! You had helped us in the past, it wouldn't hurt to return the favor." Lucy said, grabbing one of the snacks that were laid out for the party. A blush graced Aria's cheeks. It had been a while since the great incident of Nightmare Hiccups from Lance, and when the gang traveled to the Night Dimension to find the cure. However, her mind drifted to Reala whenever she thought of it.

"What's wrong Aria? Something on your mind?" Mei asked, placing down her own present. "Erm...Kinda. I was just thinking about Reala..." she admitted. THAT got both Balan and Lance curious, as they hovered over to her "Reala? NiGHTS greatest foe? What exactly is there to know?" Balan asked. "Well...I was kinda hoping he'd be here." Aria said quietly. "WHAT?!?!" NiGHTS, who had been listening in on the conversation, darted down and looked Aria dead in the eyes "Reala is DANGEROUS!! Did you forget what he tried to do?! He trapped you all in false dreams!!" They shouted.

"But...what if he COULD change? What if he was on our side? Could, given the chance." Aria argued, knowing that Reala often acted...Differently around her. NiGHTS was about to make their argument, when they heard the kids trying to wrangle Iben's kids away from a odd looking treat "No No! You guys can't eat those!" Debbie shouts, while Kaylo brings out a couple of mini cakes to lure them away. "Best to keep those kids away, Happy Hour Apples aren't meant for kids Anyway." Balan stated. Aria looked curious "Happy Hour Apples?" She asked.

"Apples that have an alcohol like taste. Minors beware of those apples in their haste. Too many of those would make you rather Tipsy, Why Lance once ate a lot, and danced like a gypsy." Balan said with a chuckle. Lance glared at him "Some things are better left unsaid. Although, some beings cannot get that through their head." He said in a scarily calm voice. Balan gave a booming laugh, until they heard Yuri scream "IT'S REALA!!!"

All the festivities seemed to stop at her yell as a dark portal opened in the air, as Reala flew out...and smacked into a wall. Balan, Lance and NiGHTS then took up defensive positions. "Reala! I don't know why you're here. But if you think you're gonna harm anyone here, you've got another thing coming!" NiGHTS shouted. However, instead of the usual retort, or threat, Reala just smiled and laughed...a rather giddy and carefree laugh.

"Hiya sibs! How ya doin?" Reala slurred, before drunkenly throwing an arm over NiGHTS shoulder. Leo got between the two maren "N-Not another step Reala! O-Or we'll get Balan and Lance!!" He yelled. The red maren looked down at him with a giddy expression "Go ahead and do so if yer brave 'nough. I know who you are, guuurrrl. And try as you may, you can't hide sleep f'rever!" He hiccuped. The fight in NiGHTS seemed to fade out. What had Reala gotten into?

Balan and Lance immediately summoned their magic and got between the two of them. "Is this a trick? Some kind of joke? You must be one sorry bloke." Lance threatened. Reala just giggled and gave a loud "Shhh... Don't tell my cousins this, but I ate these apples and I'm sooooo drunk." He shushed, wiggling his finger on Lance's lips before giggling like crazy again. Balan bit back a laugh "Dear me. Under the influence of Happy Hour Apples I see." He joked, looking down at the...rather silly Reala.

Reala's dazed out eyes then gazed over at Aria, who was looking at him curiously. His smile had gotten bigger as he dizzily floated over to her "You know, Vis'tor, there's this one Nightmaren named Reala. He liiikes yoooouuu. He thinks you're puuurrttty." He slurred out. He then floated over to a nearby table, while snatching a Shirley Temple float from Kaylo (earning a rather peeved "HEY!" from her) as well as a spoon. He then tapped the spoon as best as he could onto the glass "HEY EVERYONE! I'm gonna make a toast now...Heehee! Whysit called a toast when you can't eat it with jam and butter?" He giggled.

The children began to giggle at Reala's antics while he began his toast "I jus' wanna start by sayin...I'm sorry." He blabbed out "I'm Sorry for all that stuff that Wizeman told me to do...He was jus' havin a hissy fit. With his hand claws...He's like a cat, a really angry floating cat." He said. Purrla, Cass and Lance fell to the ground in laughter at his words. "And I also wanna say happy birfday to one of the most beautiful, and smartest, and kindest visitors in the wakin world. An' I wanna wish her a happy birthday." He giggled, raising the stolen glass into the air.

Everyone was fighting laughter at this point. Reala must have eaten a LOT of those apples to get like this. Reala then drunkenly floated over to Aria, and floated right next to her, now holding a plate that was close to him and pulled Aria closer to him "I-If you all 'scuse me, I'm takin' my girl on a ride." He hiccups, using the plate as a steering wheel and "driving" off. All laughter that was being held back officially came out at that point. Reala had officially become The life of the party.

Later on into the party, Balan and Lance had kept slipping the Happy Hour Apples over to Reala to ensure that he didn't...(ahem) Slip into had habits. And all through the party, Reala clung to Reala like a lovesick puppy, drunkenly letting little compliments of Aria out of his Tipsy mouth. By the time the party finally ended, Reala had to be dragged back to the Night Dimension by a Dying of Laughter NiGHTS...

But not without Aria slipping him one little kiss near his cheek. "Sweet Dreams Reala." She said, much to Reala's joy, as he shouted "I WAS KISSED BY AN ANGEL!!"

Though it's May, I will write this! Needless to say, Balan and love potions do not mix well. 🤣

Ah, Valentine's Day. The one holiday where men give women flowers, chocolates, jewelry, or plushies. It was at this time that Balan would try something…magic-related. He hummed as he used his magic to participate in a spell.

What spell was he doing? He was trying to a love spell. One that would only last throughout the day. He had to be careful this time. "Now to test this spell…" He said, but his hand accidentally brushed against a love potion bottle. It then flew into the magic and erupted, striking Balan.

Then, everything went black.



Balan slowly opened his eyes and started to hear the voices of the Inhabitants.

"Is he okay?" Cal asked. "How did this even happen?"

"Look, he's waking up," Yuri said. "Maybe we'll be able to ask him what happened?"

Balan groaned as he got himself adjusted to his surroundings. All twelve of the Inhabitants stood around him, flashing concerned looks at him.

Balan sat up, and the moment his gaze landed on Fiona, he smiled. "Oh my!" He said, hugging her. "You're the prettiest mermaid ever!"

Fiona turned redder than the accents on Balan's clothing. "E-Eh!?" She gasped. "Balan, what has gotten into you?"

"I think I know," Haoyu said, picking up an empty love potion bottle. "He got into this and now, he's acting lovey-dovey."

Lucy and Iben chuckled. "That explains a lot," Iben said. "But how are we going to get Balan back to normal?"

Figured I'd do a Mer-May fic. Yes, my oc is a mermaid in this one! Enjoy!

Summer was the perfect time for anyone to go to the beach. Which was where Balan, Lance, NiGHTS, and Reala were. "Who knew that beaches were such relaxing places here?" NiGHTS asked as she gazed at a seashell in awe.

"Can't relate," Reala retorted as he rubbed sunscreen on his skin. He never understood why humans loved the beach or summer. First, the hot weather was unbearable to him. Second, he was prone to getting sunburned.

"Oh, lighten up, my dear cousin," Balan said to Reala. "Soon, you'll be the happiest that you've ever been. Say, I know what lighten the mood for you; swimming in the ocean should do."

"Swimming is fine with me," Lance said. "Let's see if we can make an amazing underwater discovery." He, Balan, and NiGHTS made their way to the water. Reala stayed where he was for a bit, but relented and followed them.

Reala placed his feet into the cold water. He wasn't fazed by it as, back in Nightmare, it was usually rather freezing. So he was used to the cold. Slowly, he placed his body into the water.

"Now that everyone's in the water, let's see what sea creatures we could find," NiGHTS suggested. Balan and Lance nodded before the three went underwater. Reala shrugged, still unsure why NiGHTS wanted to do this, but he had no other option. So he swam underwater.

Reala frowned when he saw Balan, NiGHTS, and Lance had scattered around, leaving him all to himself. He was fine doing things on his own. He decided to swim off and see what creatures he could find.

After searching around, Reala stopped when he noticed something—or rather someone—swimming in the distance. The upper body resembled a female human torso, but the lower half was a tail. A-A mermaid? He thought. That's impossible… Mermaids do not exist…

Reala decided to follow the creature. She was swimming towards a sunken ship. If he had to guess, Reala assumed that there was something in there for her to find. He followed carefully, taking care not to make a sound and alert her.

The mermaid entered into the sunken ship. She swam toward a treasure chest that was filled with gold coins and jewels. Reala was able to take a good look at her. Her wavy, amber brown hair was tied in a ponytail and had baby blue streaks. Her tail went from powder blue to a powdery green, with the fluke being baby blue. And finally, this mermaid wore a baby blue clamshell bra.

Reala watched as the mermaid pulled a lyre out of the chest. With a smile and a giggle, she held onto it as she swam out, leaving Reala in his hiding place.

Reala could not believe what he was seeing. "It really is real…" He said. "I saw an actual mermaid…"

Reala was considering telling the others about this as he swam out of the sunken to make his way back. But he decided against it. Right now, he felt like the luckiest Nightmaren General in the world.

He had a feeling that he might spot her again soon.

Pfft!

Odds are, considering how dark his skin is in his normal form, nobody would be able to tell the difference.

(Here is the third fic that I'll be writing for @kayssweetdreams for her upcoming The Colors Of Reala fic. I hope you all like this fic. Let me know in the comments/reblogs what you think.

NOTE: There will be a bit of intimacy in this fic, but I'll do my best to keep it SFW, so that I won't make anyone uncomfortable.)

"Wow, look at this domain!" Mei gasped in awe while looking around the new area that she and the others were in. The fields had a bunch of white, pink, and bright red roses. The sky above was pale pink with white clouds that were shaped like hearts. White doves fluttered around as streams full of milk chocolate flowed down. The air smelled sweet of chocolate and roses.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this domain belongs to Love Reala," Aria said. "I mean, it would make sense. The colors and roses all symbolize love."

"Now the real question remains; where can that pink Emoti-Clone be?" NiGHTS asked. "Should we split up and look for him? I know that Intelligent Reala said that we need to stick together, but as far as I know, Love Reala's domain looks harmless…"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Lance reminded his cousin. "Remember, if Love Reala is protective of this domain, he won't hesitate to use tricks in order to make us scat."

"What do you think, Balan?" Aria asked. "Should we split us like NiGHTS had suggested?"

Aria, Mei, NiGHTS, and Lance all looked at the behatted maestro. "I don't see why we shouldn't do so," Balan replied with a shrug. "After all, Love Reala may be flirtatious, but he wouldn't hurt a fly, you know."

"If this can help us find Love Reala faster, then I am not complaining." Mei looked at the various paths before she and the others headed into different directions.

Aria kept on walking down the path she took. But as she did so, the area around her started to change. The sky above started to turn rose red. There were even more red roses as well as their petals scattered around. Plus, the air started to smell more of roses than of chocolate. "Love Reala?" Aria called out, hoping that she didn't sound too loud.

"You finally came, mon etoile~." The sound of that flirtatious tone in Love Reala's voice grabbed the brown-haired woman's attention. "I've been wondering when I would hear your angelic voice again.~" She turned and saw the magenta Emoti-Clone with a red rose in his hand. A deep red blush crept up onto her face.

Love Reala flew toward her and gently cupped her chin. "Since you are here, mon amour, I can now show you how much I really love you~."

"Oh?" Aria was curious to know. But then, Love Reala began to passionately kiss her on the lips. Aria closed her eyes, melting into the kiss. Before she knew it, Love Reala gently pinned her down into the field of roses and continued to kiss her some more while on top of her. Eventually, his lips trailed down to the right side of Aria's neck before he started to kiss it, sucking onto it in the process.

Aria let out a gasp before beginning to moan in passion and pleasure. Love Reala stopped for a bit and looked down, his eyes filled with the most intense desire and passion ever. "You love this, don't you, ma lune~?"

"Yes~!" Aria replied back, her cheeks red as the roses.

"Good~," Love Reala responded. "I want everyone to know that I am yours, ma chérie~." He leaned down and kissed Aria's left side of her neck, sucking onto it as well. This prompted the woman to moan and groan in pleasure.

When Love Reala stopped, he got off and laid next to Aria. "That was fun, wasn't it, rose douce~?"

"It was." Aria smiled. "Love Reala, the others and I were looking for you. We need to find a fragment of a crystal. According to Intelligent Reala, one of the fragments is located in the heart of your domain. Can you lead us to it?"

"Whatever it will take to make ma princesse happy~," Love Reala said. He and Aria stood up, getting ready to meet up with the others. "It's such a shame that this has to end so soon…" Love Reala then leaned over and whispered something in Aria's ear, causing her to blush.

"…Because that would be where the fun truly begins~."

"I found Love Reala, you guys!" Aria called to her friends. She and the magenta Emoti-Clone stood in front of the paths, waiting for her friends to come out.

NiGHTS flew from the path that they took. "That's great, Aria!" They suddenly stopped as a confused look flashed on their face. "Um, Aria? May I ask what happened to your neck?"

"What do you mean?" Aria asked, suddenly confused.

Balan, Lance, and Mei all came from the other paths and looked at Aria. When they saw their neck, their eyes widened as embarrassed blushes appeared across their cheeks.

"Aria, you may want to…look in a mirror," Mei muttered, averting her gaze.

The brown-haired woman walked over to a mirror. When she looked in the reflection, she gasped in shock. On both sides of her neck was a hickey. "Love Reala gave me…love bites!" She cried, hiding her neck in embarrassment.

"Oh?" Balan was now curious, his grin suddenly returning that held amusement. "And what were you two doing that caused your neck to bruise so?"

Love Reala let out a chuckle. "What can I say?" He asked. "You all now know that I am hers.~"

"Please don't tell anyone…" Aria begged NiGHTS, the maestro brothers, and Mei. "I need to cover these up before we continue…" She walked over to the bathroom.

To be fair, kissing Love Reala was really worth it.

I definitely can!

"Hey, Leo," Haoyu called to the blonde haired boy that was in the park. Standing next to Haoyu was Cass who, like usual, was holding her kitten. "Cass and I figured that we could watch you dance! We heard that you're one of the best dancers around here!"

"Sure," Leo said. "I wouldn't mind if you guys watched. Say, have you two seen Emma around? She said that she was coming by to also see me dance."

"Hey, sorry if I'm late," Emma said as she arrived into the park with Yuri next to her. "I met up with Yuri who wanted to come along with."

"It's alright, Emma," Cass said with a smile. "Now that we're all here, we can watch Leo show off his best dance moves."

"Okay, here goes nothing," Leo said as he walked over to the boombox and switched it on. Rock music began to play as Leo began to dance. Yuri, Haoyu, Emma, and Cass watched in awe. Leo moved gracefully to the rhythm, dancing along with the flow. The background dancers joined Leo in dancing.

Then, as the music kept on playing, Leo and the background dancers performed one of the acrobatic moves. Leo spun gracefully and did a backflip. He landed onto his right hand, spinning some more before he landed right back onto his feet. The background dancers made multiple backflips to the beat.

"I never knew that Leo was so talented," Yuri said with a smile. "He has such good dancing skills."

"I agree with you, Yuri," Haoyu said with a grin. "Leo can definitely dance."

"I wonder how long Leo's been dancing for," Emma said. "He must have danced for quite some time in order to get this good."

The music ended and Leo and the background dancers did their poses. Emma, Yuri, Cass, and Haoyu applauded for the performance.

"Wow, that was amazing, Leo," Cass said. "I loved every bit of it."

"So did I," Yuri said. "You're an awesome dancer."

"Gee, thanks," Leo said, scratching the back of his head. "I'm happy that you four love my performance."

"Say, why don't we all get something to drink?" Haoyu suggested. "There's a small store nearby. That, and I'm a bit thirsty."

"I could go for something to drink," Leo said. "Dancing really does make me thirsty. Lead the way, Haoyu."

Haoyu nodded and led the others to the store. Everyone grabbed a drink and after paying for it, decided to go for a walk. They all catched up on what they've been doing after leaving the theater. Haoyu had been flying for quite some time. On occasion, he would see Fiona out in the middle of the ocean.

Yuri still looked out for the bugs. Recently, her class had brought in ladybugs. And Yuri had no problem taking care of them. In fact, some of her classmates even offered to help Yuri care for them. Not that Yuri minded, of course.

As for Cass? She looked out for her kitten whom she named Daisy. Cass would always carry Daisy with her wherever she went with the exception of school. Not that Daisy minded being held. The grey and white kitten would purr up a storm.

"I can't believe that so much happened since we left," Emma said. "Though, I do wonder how the others are doing."

"I know that Fiona's doing just fine," Haoyu said. "She's swimming with the dolphins again."

"Why don't we go check up on the others to see how they're doing?" Yuri asked.

"Sounds good to me," Leo said. "Let's get going, then."

Okay, here you go! As for the Visitor, I'm putting in Emma.

Reala sat on the fields of the Isle of Tims, feeding the Tims the different colored drops. Life in Wonderworld had been a lot easier for Reala after he chose to stay. It took him some time for him to get used to the peaceful life, but eventually he got used to it.

Balan had introduced Reala to the Tims during his second day here. Much to Reala's surprise, the Tims immediately took a liking to him. In a way, they reminded him of the Nightopians back at his former home.

A part of him couldn't help but wonder how his sister NiGHTS was doing. He also now knew exactly how she felt during her time in Nightmare. He now no longer blamed NiGHTS for enjoying the freedom.

As he was feeding the Tims, a girl's voice spoke to him. "Uh, hi..." Reala turned and saw a young girl with platinum blonde hair tied in pigtails and green eyes.

"Welcome, Visitor..." Reala replied in his most friendliest tone. "What is your name? Did you find the theater as well?"

The girl nodded. "My name is Emma," Emma replied. "And I found the theater when I was on a walk. I met Balan when I came inside. What is your name, sir?"

"I am Reala," Reala introduced himself. "And welcome to Wonderworld, Emma." He was still get used to welcoming Visitors instead of terrifying them.

"So what are these creatures?" Emma asked, looking at the Tims. Some of them hopped over and greeted Emma, chirping up to her.

"These creatures all called Tims," Reala explained to Emma. "They're really friendly once you get to know them. Why don't you come over and say hello?"

Emma shyly approached the Tims. "H-Hello," She said to the Tims. She then bent down and pet them. The little Tims chirped in greeting, taking a liking towards Emma.

Okay!

"Here we are at the Highland Isle Mall," Emma said to Cass and Yuri. "I saved up enough money for this. So what do you two want to get from here?"

"Is there a pet shop in there?" Cass asked. "I want to get some supplies for my kitty."

"Uh, maybe some new clothes," Yuri said. "Some of my outfits don't fit me anymore. My mom believes that it's time that I start finding some outfits."

"Okay. Me? I want to head to the jewelry store. One of my maid's birthday is coming up. I want to get her a present." Emma looked up at the mall. "We're usually close to the clothing store when we enter. So you can pick new clothes when we get there, Yuri."

Yuri nodded as she and Cass followed Emma into the mall. As usual, the mall was crowded with lots of people that carried bags as they chatted away with their friends while going to other stores.

"I never knew that malls could get so crowded," Yuri said while looking around.

"Well yeah," Cass said. "It has a lot of stores here. Of course lots of people are going to be here shopping away."

"There's the clothing store, Yuri," Emma said, pointing to a store that had outfits on display in the windows. "Let's head on inside."

The girls went inside the clothing store. Shelves of shirts, pants, skirts, and shorts were seen. Mannequins also had outfits displayed for the guests to see. Racks of coats, sweaters, shoes, and jackets were seen.

"Go ahead, Yuri," Emma said. "See which clothes you like."

Yuri nodded and walked up to one of the mannequins. It wore a dark blue denim jacket over an indigo shirt, a white skirt with small indigo diamond patterns, and grey boots. "Ooh, I like this outfit," Yuri said, smiling. "I have to get the look." She made her way to the shelf to complete the outfit.

Cass eyed up a bunch of dresses in the kids' section. She saw a sunshine yellow frilly dress that she knew would look great on her. "Take a look at this dress," She said, her eyes sparkling with joy. Then, she looked at the dress rack to find one in her size.

Emma looked around at the outfits. But she wasn't in the mood to buy something from here. Once Cass and Yuri got their outfits, they walked up to the registers. Emma handed the lady a $50 bill to pay for their clothes.

"Next up, the pet shop!" Cass exclaimed in excitment. After having their items bagged, Cass and Yuri left with Emma and made their way to the pet shop.

Inside the pet shop were collars for dogs and cats, pet beds, food dishes of various colors, dog toys, cat toys, wet and dry food for dogs and cats, leashes, fish tanks, cages for hamsters, and lots of stuff needed to care for furry friends.

Cass went over to the collar rack and looked at the ones designed for cats. Her eyes landed on a pretty pink collar with flower designs and a little bell on it. "This is perfect for Daisy," She said. "I'll take it. She'll also need food dishes and some toys for her to play with too."

Emma smiled as she watched Cass pick out two pink food dishes for her kitten. She also got a bag of cat treats and picked out some cat toys. "I never had a pet of my own," Emma said. "I haven't decided which pet I should adopt."

"Me neither," Yuri said. "I did see some cats that I would like, though… But my mom's reluctant to get me a pet tarantula."

Emma also paid for Cass's cat stuff. After they were bagged up, they left the pet store. "Now, I need to head to the jewelry store," Emma said. The girls made their way down to the jewelry store.

In the jewelry store were all kinds of jewelry, both for women and men. Emma eyed a beautiful silver necklace with small, pear-cut gems in every color. "I'll take this one, please," Emma said to the man at the register.

"Coming up," He said to her. Emma paid the man the amount that was due. The man wrapped the necklace up and handed it to Emma. "Have a good day."

With that, Emma, Yuri, and Cass left the mall. "Wow, that was a fun day!" Cass exclaimed.

Here's how the elf-kitty would act like a cat in these situations. Enjoy!

Balan: *asleep*

Lance: It's 5:00 am. You have yet to feed me breakfast. Are you going to wake up and do that?

Balan: *makes an annoyed grunt before pulling the covers over him*

Lance: I don't want to come off overly critical when I tell you this, but you are terrible at feeding me. You probably should work on that. Starting right now. *bats Balan on the shoulder* Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

Emma: *places book down* I have to use the restroom real quick.

Lance: *hops on Emma's lap* This lap of yours is really comfortable. I will lay here.

Emma: Lance! I have to go to the bathroom!

Lance: *perks up* Correction, human. We're going to the bathroom together.

Emma: Eh!?

Lance: What's this, I see? Is this a new toy? I shall play with it until I have no use for it anymore.

Leo: *sees his earbuds are chewed up and damaged* Lance!! Really!? Do you know how much money I spent on these!? *glares*

Lance: More than you should. These 'earbuds' aren't that great. I will go for the shoelaces.

Leo: No! Bad elf-kitty!

Lance: Someone knocked your vase onto the ground, human.

Iben: Really, Lance!? It was you, wasn't it?

Lance: What makes you think it was me? I am offended.

Iben: You're staying off the countertops and tables from now on.

Jose: *goes to relax* That was a lot of hard work I did.

Lance: I require pets, human. Preferably on the back tentacles.

Jose: Aw, why not? *Goes to pet Lance only to get bit* Ow! What was that for?

Since lots of people loved scenarios where Lance had chaotic cat energy, here's one but Halloween edition! Enjoy!

Jose: Wow, what a long day buying all that candy. But it was worth it. *Goes to sleep*

Lance: *smells the bags of candy* Is that…chocolate I smell? This human spoils me at this time of year. *Chews a hole through all the bags and eats some candy*

Jose: *Wakes up to see that every bag of candy was chewed through* Lance, did you chew through these?

Lance: They were delicious. Thank you for buying them for me.

Jose: They weren't for you! They were for the trick or treaters!

Emma: *Comes home from school* Now to do any homework that I've had… *Hears something zoom across the hallway* U-Uh, who's there?

???: *Zooms around and knocks stuff down*

Emma: Hello? *Slowly walks towards the light switch and turns it on*

Lance: *Looks up at Emma while sitting in front of the mess he made*

Emma: Oh, it's just you.

Eis: *sees Lance pouncing on something* Lance, what do you have?

Lance: *Still pounces on something*

Eis: *See what it was* Holy smokes! You brought a live bat in the house!? Lance!!

Lance: *Lets it fly around*

Eis: No! Now, I have to get rid of the bat without getting bitten! Bad elf-kitty!

Iben: *Tries to sleep*

Lance: *Watches Iben sleep*

Iben: *Wakes up at 3 am* Why do I feel like I'm being watched? *Sees a pair of blue eyes staring at her* Eek!

Lance: *Purrs and comes closer to Iben, unintentionally scaring her more*
