К счастью, Коля помешал ее знакомству с крокодилом и зачитал ей информацию с таблички, насколько эти рептилии опасны. (Luckily, Kolya prevented her from meeting the crocodile and read her the information from the sign about how dangerous these reptiles are)

Чтобы успокоить испуганную Катю, Коля предложил пообедать вредными, но вкусными гамбургерами. Девочки были в полном восторге. (To calm the frightened Katya, Kolya offered them some unhealthy but delicious hamburgers for lunch. The girls were delighted)

В это время рядом с ними разворачивалась крупная ссора между преподавателем университета и бывшим студентом, которая начиналась вполне безобидно с розыгрыша. Никто не понял, в какой момент крокодил оказался на воле, и почему он напал на преподавателя. Единственный, кого это позабавило, был бывший ученик. (Meanwhile, a major altercation was unfolding nearby between a university teacher and a former student, which had begun harmlessly as a prank. No one understood at what moment the crocodile was released and why it attacked the teacher. The only one amused was the former student)

Коля ни в чем не заподозрил бы бывшего ученика, одетого в кольчужный костюм на всё тело, если бы тот не потребовал от него забыть всё, что Коля видел, и не начал насмехаться над плачущим Олегом. Схватив дочерей, Коля поспешил домой, надеясь, что они не поняли, что произошло. (Kolya wouldn't have suspected the former student, dressed in a full-body chainmail suit, if the man hadn't demanded he forget everything Kolya had seen and started making fun of Oleg, who was crying. Grabbing his daughters, Kolya hurried home, hoping that they did not understand what had happened)

Стоило им вернуться домой, как Вероника захотела сделать семейный портрет в фотосалоне в обычном и парадном варианте. Это отвлекло девочек от утренних событий. (As soon as they returned home, Veronica wanted to take a family portrait at the photo studio, both casual and formal. This distracted the girls from the morning's events)

Заодно Влад с Фаиной тоже сделали семейную фотографию. Со стремлением Фаины выучить все навыки в отпуск они поедут не скоро, хоть фотография якобы с пляжа будет. (Vlad and Faina also took a family photo. With Faina eager to learn all the skills, they wouldn't be going on vacation anytime soon; now they'd at least have a photo that looked like it was from the beach)

К тому же, Фаина устроилась на работу. Ее мечта - стать главным врачом города, а в больнице требовался врач-специалист. Нужно же с чего-то начинать. Влад собирался стать врачом вслед за женой, но подростковая мечта о супергеройстве перевесила. Только подозрительно, что его опять назначили командиром группы спецназа. Будто эта должность постоянно освобождается. (Besides, Faina had gotten a job. Her dream was to become the city's chief doctor, and the hospital needed a specialist. She had to start somewhere. Vlad had planned to follow his wife into the medical profession, but his teenage dreams of being a superhero won out. It’s just suspicious that he was again appointed commander of a special forces group. As if that position keeps vacating)

Впереди было два выходных, а навыков логики развить Владу нужно было много. Хорошо Фаине, у которой случались озарения и почти все навыки были развиты. Однако, занимаясь саморазвитием, Влад совсем не занимался своей собакой Фраем. (There were two days off ahead, and Vlad needed to develop a lot of logical skills. Good for Faina, who had epiphanies and almost all her skills were developed. However, while Vlad was busy developing himself, he wasn't spending any time with his dog, Fry)

А Веронику раздражало, что собака брата постоянно бегает в ее квартиру и портит мебель. Также Вероника не понимала, зачем Коля готовит еду на вполне самостоятельных Влада и Фаину. Совсем этих двоих разбаловал. (Veronica was irritated that her brother's dog was constantly running into her apartment and ruining the furniture. Veronica also couldn't understand why Kolya was cooking for the quite independent Vlad and Faina. He'd completely spoiled them)

Между тем, сама Вероника тоже пыталась провести выходные с пользой для карьеры. Только Коля наслаждался свободным временем и мечтал об отпуске, играя с собакой и дочерьми. Он не собирался соперничать с Давидом за пост мэра. (Meanwhile, Veronica was also trying to use her weekends to further her career. Only Kolya was enjoying his free time and dreaming of a vacation, playing with dog and his daughters. He had no intention of competing with David for the mayor's post)

Хороший пример мамы оказался заразителен для девочек. По их желанию даже был куплен синтезатор. (The mother's good example proved contagious for the girls. At their request, a synthesizer was even purchased)

Ночью с кухни потянуло гарью. Вероника обнаружила поникшего мужа над сгоревшим омаром. Высокопарно заявив: "Tanatum potes, quod credis" (Ты можешь всё, во что веришь), Вероника поспешила утешить Колю в своих объятиях. (At night, a burning smell came from the kitchen. Veronica found her husband dejectedly over a burnt lobster. With a pompous declaration, "Tanatum potes, quod credis" (You can do anything you believe in), Veronica rushed to comfort Kolya in her arms)

Ослепленные любовью друг к другу они не замечали ничего вокруг: ни медленно проплывающего призрака, ни довольную собачку, писающую в их коридоре. (Blinded by their love for each other, they noticed nothing around them: not the slowly floating ghost, not the contented dog peeing in their hallway)

Soft chirps of bats along with soft gusts of wind stir Liza awake, sitting up she rubs her cold dead eyes as an attempt to wake herself even more. She was definitely well rested, don't get me wrong but it didn’t mean she’d have a perfect morning or night all the time. Cracking her eyes open a blur of yellow passes her sight, a shade of yellow oh so familiar, a shade of yellow so comforting. “How was your sleep princess?” a familiar voice announced, waking Liza from her stupor. Finally opening her eyes fully and laying her eyes on her darling, her queen Alisa, “Hm? Have you been waiting long? I got home late yesterday,” Liza responded, voice still laced with sleep.

Soft chuckles and a soft “tch” pivots her attention to the purple haired woman. Cold fingers touch her face cradling her delicate chin, and softly but firmly pulling Liza into a light and delicate kiss. Feeling her cold but soft lips she couldn't help but return the kiss, arms circling around her slender frame, pulling her just that bit closer. Slowly separating from the passionate and heartfelt kiss, they stare into each other's eyes. Yellow eyes filled with so much love and desperation, such raw and hard to comprehend emotions. Their lips part with unspoken <i love you’s>, hearts tender and warm as they now grasp each other's grasps. Although not warm, it is still comforting.

“Didn’t you say you were going to meet me for a date? Now you didn’t forget about me have you?” Alisa snickered, covering her face with her fan feigning shock. “Date? Of course I wouldn't forget my queen, I just fell asleep,” Liza quipped back, chuckling along with Alisa. “Hm you better not forget me, who else would I see the sun with?” Alisa huffed. “Oh are you pouting? How cute,” the brunette cooed as she once again wrapped her arms around her love. Alisa heaved in defeat before combining their lips once again in a tender kiss.

“Not to interrupt you love birds but could you two not do that in front of me? Ugh such freaks, disgusting,” Stefan gagged mockingly. “Don’t be so jealous Stefan, maybe you’ll find someone if you didn’t spend all your time brooding alone with your cigarettes,” Alisa taunted, causing the brunette, still in her arms, to chuckle. “Tch, hasn’t your mother told you it’s not good to brag.” huffed Stefan still in a joking matter. Perhaps even he was glad to be in the presence of old friends, as if Liza could blame him, they were a good trio. Although the two tend to argue and mock each other a lot, underneath all that she knew that they truly cared for each other. Basking in the pair's presence she finally let out a sigh of relief, she had finally found her home.

Perhaps she should have taken Faina’s words to heart, it really wasn’t anything to worry about, as she did truly find her home.
