"Cool, now I'm the one who'll get to play aunt someday," smirked Ebony.
"I still have the two old ones which used to belong to Kestrel and Falcon when they were Iara's and Lynx's age," replied Ebony, "You can have them if you want them. I don't need them anymore, except for the one for Artemis."
*****
"Um, hello," Meredith nodded in return, staring at the hand quizzically, "Nice to meet you too." She smiled shyly at Liska and Shayla. "Thanks for letting me stay here."
"I'll show you where those suites are," said Ricardo, "and give you a brief tour of the place."
"Alright," nodded Meredith, shifting nervously on her tires.

"It wouldn't hurt to probably give them a try," Phoenix said. "As long as it stops the pinching of that one spot when I have both of them."

"Trust me, they're much more comfortable in my opinion," replied Ebony as she helped with straightening the last of the straps and making sure that they weren't chafing the Trans Am's sides, "After we pick up the boys, we'll go to my house and get the slings. And how about thinking of it as a thank you gift for helping me all these years?"

"We don't know what to say, Sis." Boost blushed a little.
Tess came down out of the portal to greet the visitors, smiling pleasantly to Meredith. "Good afternoon. This is Meredith?"

"They're for Nix's twins," Ebony replied tartly, "What is it with everyone misunderstanding me today?!"
*****
"Si, Senora," nodded Ricardo, "She's just a little bit shy and nervous right now. I suggest you be easy with her."
Meredith stayed close to the Stealth as she saw the other human approach them.

"Uh... sorry." Boost turned a deep purple while Shrike turned gently admonishing eyes to him. "Not THAT soon, big boy." she smirked.
"Meredith, would you like to come inside and see what it's like?" Tess asked. "It's quite roomy inside."

"Not that it makes any difference, but I give you both a challenge," said Ebony, calming down, "If you both are still thinking of a family some time in the future, let's see how well you both do with my boys for the weekend, huh?"
*****
"Um..." Meredith paused, looking at Ricardo.
The Stealth nodded pleasantly and gave her a friendly nudge, "It's okay. There's nothing dangerous down there. These humans will take good care of you while you're here."
"Okay," the Corvette gave a slight nod before turning back to Tess, "Sure, Ma'am. If that's alright with you."

Shrike couldn't resist a discreet cackle as Boost's eyes bugged out before he stammered. "Of course, Sis. Anything for you guys."
"We'd be glad to have the boys over, Ebony." the NISMO smiled.
"You can come with me, then." Tess extended a hand towards the portal's well-lit interior.
Misty came out to check out the visitors, waving a blade to Ricardo.

"Great," said Ebony, "How does next weekend sound?"
Phoenix smirked. "That would be interesting."
*****
"Okay," Meredith gave a small nod, looked at Ricardo again, then shifted into gear, rolling slowly toward and through the entrance, being careful of the humans around her.
Ricardo smiled and waved back at Misty.

"Fine." Boost nodded, realizing that his "daddy" potential was going to be put to the test.
The little 'gryro girl came up alongside Meredith. "Dunno if I ever metcha before, but I'm Misty. I've been here a few years now an' it's a really good place."
The sounds of horses filtered from the way to the stables, off to the side.

Ebony smirked playfully, "Now let's go pick them up, shall we?"
"That sounds like a good idea to me," said Phoenix.
*****
"Um, hello," Meredith said nervously. She wasn't used to having people come right up and talk to her.

"I'm ready." Kendall nodded. He waved to Mike and Ondine. "See you later, guys. We'll stay in touch."
"This is Meredith, Misty." Tess told the 'gyro girl, making a subtle gesture to encourage her to ease off a little. Misty got the cue and gave Meredith a little more breathing room. "Pleased t'meetcha."
"The suites are right this way, in the center court." Tess waved an arm towards the end of the main corridor, which was almost three lanes wide. There were humans going about their business, but not the densely packed crowd it had been in the wake of the blowup. Many of them had moved to outside dwellings in the years since.

Ebony waved and pulled out of the diner lot with Artemis in the baby sling. Phoenix followed close behind as they headed toward the school where Kestrel, Falcon, and Gryffin went.
*****
"Nice to meet you too," Meredith smiled shyly. Then she turned back to Tess, "Will Luke be able to find me down there?"

"I don't think he'll have any trouble finding us." Tess said. "His friend Shale might bring him to the landing zone here."
Kendall followed Ebony off to the school to get the kids. "That parent-teacher meeting is this Friday, isn't it?"

"I think he just wants to make sure I'm alright," said Meredith, "We've only met a couple of months ago. I kinda like him. He's a great guy. I never had anyone like that care about me before."
*****
Ebony thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, it's this Friday. I think we should go."
