"I never needed those." Aron said smiling, showing his teeth that while were not perfect, they were still good and no tooth out in an odd direction. "Shall I take you to him?" Aron said. His spirit was up, as he was bit proud to know that Shakeen came to him while visiting.
"Thanks." Daniel said. He knew how to get by with just small sips, and he regarded this as a drink after long hard exercise, not to be drinked as fast as one could, but take things slow.
((Sleep, puppet please))

Ebony smiled faintly and nodded, "Alright..." She picked herself up and shook the tiredness out of her frame, "But I don't have much of an appetite... and I feel so worn out..."

"Great." Kendall said. "We can pick up something to drink when you feel like it."
"Yes, please." Shakeen nodded. "I've only been inside once, and don't really know my way around."
Rocket and Shadow wriggled and licked Delfina's hand, unmindful of the horse's disdain. In the distance, a family of pickups pulled into a service station.

"Sure..." Ebony nodded in agreement and went over to where her twins were, "What about the twins...? Should I take them along...?"
*****
Delfina looked up and saw where she was heading. She was getting mighty close to the local service station.

"You can if you want," Phoenix said. "Let them see where you grew up."

"I couldn't go back because of them..." Ebony sighed as she pulled out the baby slings, "I thought that it would be too dangerous to bring them here... That's why I kept away from here after they were born..."

"Maybe now its calmed down enough," Phoenix said as she turned as Gryffin woke up chirped up at his mother.

"We'll be with you, and so will your half-brother and his friends." Kendall said. "I don't think Boost is going to let anyone give you trouble."
Rory and his parents had stopped to talk to his uncle, who had a service station along this route. The throwback Dodge SweptSide boy was kicking around the lot, rather bored, when he saw something unusual coming closer.
"OK, the dentist is thataway." Aron joined Shakeen and her children as he bid goodbye to Dawn and Misty for the present. "Third door on the right. He's usually in his office because people never stop having problems with their teeth. Dunno if he's busy right now, though"
Bert Darnell was working in his improvised office when they showed up. He had been a dentist and orthodontist for some forty-three years prior to his formal retirement. Now, with an apprentice, he was making do with what he had, and with wire, scrap steel, rubber and glue, he could put something together to straighten the boy's teeth. He took measurements and finally made a cast on which to fashion the braces before final fitting. The process took about an hour.

"Yeah, I guess..." nodded Ebony. She touched the tops of the twins roofs, waking them up. They yawned and looked at her curiously, seeing the slings.
"Where we going, Mama?" asked Kestrel.
"I'm gonna show you guys where I used to live and grew up..." she told them.
The twins nodded, "Okay."
Ebony looked over as Gryffin woke up. "Wanna take him along too...?"
*****
Delfina kept a tight grip on Spirit's reigns as she walked up to the service station.

"I should," Phoenix said as she rubbed the little Mustang's roof. "Don't want to leave him behind if the twins are going."

"It would probably be a good idea..." nodded Ebony, "Babies have a calming effect on us, don't they...?"

"They do," Phoenix said as she picked up Gryffin. "Rico, we did bring the harness with us right?"

Ricardo nodded, "Si, yes we did. It's in our room. Excuse me. I'll go get it."
The Stealth stood up and left Ebony's suite for a few minutes, then came back with the harness. "I'll help get it on."

Gryffin chirped happily as he saw the harness. Phoenix laughed softly as she climbed into the offered harness.

Kendall assisted Ebony with harness adjustments and double-checked the security of the twins. "You guys are gonna be too big for that pretty soon."
Rory stared for a minute, then shifted his weight back-and-forth between foretires, excited. He recognized the human coming up and turned to his parents.
"Mom, Dad, that's Delfina. I met her on the scout trip, remember?"
