Delfina picked up Stephanie and took Aron's hand. "And we better go have a family meeting and some lunch."

"Alright," Phoenix said with a nod as she shifted into gear.

Delfina turned and walked with Aron to the cafe for a bite to eat.

Kendall turned and nuzzled Ebony. "I know, that's a LOT to deal with."
Aron sat down with Delfina and his daughter. One of the cafe attendants came up. "What would you like today?"

Ebony mumbled and lay her front down on the rug. She was usually curious about these things, but she was just so exhausted at the moment as well as restless. She wanted to be moving again.

"We'll have what's being served today," said Delfina.

"OK, we have broiled tilapia, rice and sauteed vegetables." the girl said. Tilapia was farmed in tanks in the grow chamber, the rice had come from outside, since it was grown in the Carsverse as a feedstock for boutique organic fuels.
"Sounds good to me." Aron nodded.
Kendall read Ebony's current mood as a combination of "tired" and "restless" - not an easy thing to soothe or resolve. He started to massage her a bit, gently.

"Me too," agreed Delfina. "Oh, and a child's portion for Steph, please."
*****
Ebony felt somewhat comforted by the massage, but not entirely. "Watch the wound, will ya...? It's a little tender there..." she said in a tired voice.

"Gotcha." Kendall nodded. He concentrated on other areas.
At the cafe, the attendant came back with several platefuls within ten minutes, and placed them down. "Here you go."
Aron picked up his fork and fluffed the rice. "So it seems we have another matter to deal with here."

Ebony sighed and looked around her suite. She wanted to write. "Can you get my journal for me...?" she asked, "I'd get it myself, but I can't move that much..."
*****
"Take small bites and chew your food," Delfina told Stephanie.
She turned to her own food and took some veggies on her fork, "Stephanie seems to have inherited my shapeshifting ability."
*****
Kestrel and Falcon had made their way down to the fossil chamber and were sitting on a rock reading their mother's journal. They had not told anyone where they were.

"Should be over there..." Kendall went back to look for it, his eyes going over the suite's interior. "That's funny - I saw it right there just a half hour ago, and neither of us touched it since."
"No fooling." Aron rubbed his forehead, looking back at Stephanie. "Just what are we going to do here? We need to work something out before she starts school in earnest, or she's going to be giving the teachers heart attacks every day."

"What...?" Ebony sat up a little when she heard this, "I hadn't used it since yesterday morning... Where'd it go...?"
*****
"Well, she seems to have copied me when I did it..." said Delfina, "She's at that stage where children will copy whatever their parents do..."
*****
"Who's Tony Blitz?" Kestrel asked his brother.
"I dunno, but Mama seems to know him," replied Falcon with a shrug, "Let's read on."
"Okay," agreed Kestrel as he turned back to the journal with his brother and read about the first encounter that their mother had with the black Toyota Supra.

"I think we might need another perspective on this, really." Aron sighed. "And Stephanie needs to learn that there's a place and a time for it, but not always."
Kendall sniffed around where he'd last seen the journal. Not even he touched it, usually. "Oh, jeez." he groaned. "The twins have been here, very recently, and they touched the table. They could have taken it, because kids often do these things."

"All I can think of is asking one of the users here, like Phoenix or Shayla or Kathleen," shrugged Delfina, "I really don't know how I can go about this by myself."
*****
"Why would they take my journal... and where did they go...?" asked Ebony, "It mostly has all of my private thoughts in it that I let nobody else see..."

"We're gonna find them." Kendall said, determined. "And then, they need a good talk."
"I feel kinda guilty, asking them for more help when they've already given so much." Aron rubbed his cheeks. "But there's no other option that I can see."

"I hope that they haven't gone too far..." said Ebony as she slowly got to her tires, which was still an effort for her, "but what if they've read parts of it that I didn't want them to read...? I wouldn't know what to do..."
*****
"I don't think they'd really mind," said Delfina, "They're as selfless as Ebony is when giving help and not expecting anything in return."
