The New Year's Party

[Marky]

"Heeheehee," smiled Francesca as she nods. She then puts away her gadget and looks at Sam, "So any idea on what you want?"

Sam frowns a little and shakes her head. "Not really, nya...but while we're here, can we take a look at your lab~?

[KonokoHasano]

"No problem kiddo," smiled Francesca as she smiled widely and wiped her nose with her thumb. "Now do you think you are ready to train with Daddy?"

---

(I didn't forget about these guys...haha)

"So shall we start? Before Mike starts his big game?" asked Maki as she looked around for Mike.

"That depends if these two are ready. I don't want to rush them," said Mia in a polite voice.

"Well... I guess."

-----

"We're ready." Usagi said, nodding.

"Yeah!"

[Maiden Miki]

Sam frowns a little and shakes her head. "Not really, nya...but while we're here, can we take a look at your lab~?

"It's okay. No need to rush it," said Francesca as she tries to mess up Sam's hair. She bray was able to reach her head. "If you want then yeah. I can show you a bit of the domain of my genius."

"Well... I guess."

-----

"We're ready." Usagi said, nodding.

"Yeah!"

"Meh. Think of it as good father and daughter/son time," said Francesca with a nod. "You two don't hang out much anyways so I am sure it could be good."

"Still want to join in the tour of my domain?" asked Francesca with a nod as she looks up at Marco.

----

"Oh excellent! That is great to hear!" smiled Mia as she clapped her hands.

"Then follow me," said Maki as she sighed and lead the way to the back of the living room heading to a door that read, 'Obstacle course.'

[Marky]

"It's okay. No need to rush it," said Francesca as she tries to mess up Sam's hair. She bray was able to reach her head. "If you want then yeah. I can show you a bit of the domain of my genius."

Sam giggles a little as Francesca ruffles up her hair, before smiling, nodding. "Awesome~! Let's go, then~!" She says, quickly heading over to the door to the lab.

[KonokoHasano]

"Oh excellent! That is great to hear!" smiled Mia as she clapped her hands.

"Then follow me," said Maki as she sighed and lead the way to the back of the living room heading to a door that read, 'Obstacle course.'

"Well, I guess it'd be good. I really haven't spent time with him since becoming a part of this family." Marco muttered, scratching his chin. "And sure, I'd like to take a tour."

----

Both Usagi and Haru quickly follow after Maki, looking curiously at the door.

[Maiden Miki]

Sam giggles a little as Francesca ruffles up her hair, before smiling, nodding. "Awesome~! Let's go, then~!" She says, quickly heading over to the door to the lab.

"No no rush," said Francesca as she walked behind Sam. "That door won't open for anybody. I do need to keep it closed off to avoid accidents...Like idiot roommates who can't tell the difference between a yell of joy and panic."

Francesca then whisper something and soon the door flashed green and slide open.

"Well, I guess it'd be good. I really haven't spent time with him since becoming a part of this family." Marco muttered, scratching his chin. "And sure, I'd like to take a tour."

----

Both Usagi and Haru quickly follow after Maki, looking curiously at the door.

"That is good to hear. Maybe I watch to see what you two are up to. Rare that I get to see male nekos interacting with each other," said Francesca with a wide smile. "Also come along then."

-----

The door opened up and soon they were in a long hallway with many doors on each side.

"Which one should we do? Magma pit or Ocean with sharks....." said Maki as she looked around.

"OH! The Ocean sounds good," said Mia happily as she was following behind Usagi and Haru.

[Marky]

"No no rush," said Francesca as she walked behind Sam. "That door won't open for anybody. I do need to keep it closed off to avoid accidents...Like idiot roommates who can't tell the difference between a yell of joy and panic."

Francesca then whisper something and soon the door flashed green and slide open.

Sam eeps and pauses for a moment, blinking at Francesca. "Oh...huh..." She says, watching as Francesca whispered something and seeing the door opening. Pausing once again, she waits for Francesca to head in first.

[Victorious]

"OH! I know that...I mean that isn't how you normally look but at least you look nice," said Maya as she open her closet and reveal clothing that looked like it hasn't been touched for a long while.

"Er...w-well! I don't..."

*She frowns, face red.*

"That doesn't matter! I just need to find a way to reverse this!"

[KonokoHasano]

"That is good to hear. Maybe I watch to see what you two are up to. Rare that I get to see male nekos interacting with each other," said Francesca with a wide smile. "Also come along then."

"Which one should we do? Magma pit or Ocean with sharks....." said Maki as she looked around.

"OH! The Ocean sounds good," said Mia happily as she was following behind Usagi and Haru.

Marco nods at that. "Yeah."

-----

".... what?" Usagi asked flatly.

[Maiden Miki]

Sam eeps and pauses for a moment, blinking at Francesca. "Oh...huh..." She says, watching as Francesca whispered something and seeing the door opening. Pausing once again, she waits for Francesca to head in first.

Marco nods at that. "Yeah."

-----

".... what?" Usagi asked flatly.

"Come along kids," said Francesca as she walked into her lab first. It was mostly light blue with many different tables and cabinets. A humming sounds could be seen and each table seem to have some sort of item on it. "Please don't touch anything that looks like it will eat you. The last time I brought my kids here I lost every one of them. Such a shame."

---

"They are different types of obstacle courses we have here," said Maki as she was taking a deep breath.

"I personally like the beach one. It is nice. The sharks are kind of cute in a way," said Mia as she smiled happily.

" I am thinking you don't want something as scary as that..." said Maki as she turned around and was biting her upper lip.

"Er...w-well! I don't..."

*She frowns, face red.*

"That doesn't matter! I just need to find a way to reverse this!"

"OH!" said Maya as she cower a bit in fear by Victor's raised voice. She nodded a bit and looked slowly at Victor as she walked to her closet and began looking for some sort of jacket. "Well we could ask Francesca...she may have something to reverse it but...I am not sure if we can trust her or something."

[Marky]

"Come along kids," said Francesca as she walked into her lab first. It was mostly light blue with many different tables and cabinets. A humming sounds could be seen and each table seem to have some sort of item on it. "Please don't touch anything that looks like it will eat you. The last time I brought my kids here I lost every one of them. Such a shame."

Sam blinkblinks, before eeping a little at that, having gone over to one of the tables to examine what was on it. Looking back at her mom, eyes wide, Sam pauses. "Lost every one of them...h-how?"

" I am thinking you don't want something as scary as that..." said Maki as she turned around and was biting her upper lip.

"That's some kinda joke, right?" Marco asked, blinking.

----

"That just sounds odd, honestly." Usagi said, but shrugged. "Hey, who am I to question it, though?"

[Maiden Miki]

Sam blinkblinks, before eeping a little at that, having gone over to one of the tables to examine what was on it. Looking back at her mom, eyes wide, Sam pauses. "Lost every one of them...h-how?"

"They decided that it be a good thing to try to play scientist," said Francesca as Sam walked over to a clock and a spoon that was on the table. "Touched an experiment involving Jale and one of them turned into a clock another another into a spoon."

"That's some kinda joke, right?" Marco asked, blinking.

----

"That just sounds odd, honestly." Usagi said, but shrugged. "Hey, who am I to question it, though?"

"Has your mother ever joked with you kids?" smiled Francesca as she took a deep breath and hummed to herself.

----

"Well Mike uses them mostly. Sometimes I do too but well....I don't get much into it," said Maki as she nodded.

"She is scared," said Mia as she walked over to a door that read 'City Course'.

"So what," said Maki cooly. She sees the door and said, "This one be fine."

[shinryou]

"Since when are you his mother?" Kazuya said, popping out of nowhere to try and surprise FranFran.

Meanwhile, outside, Akio was knocking on the door, "Anyone hooome?"

[KonokoHasano]

"... but... why didn't you change them back and stuff?" Marco asked, scratching his head. "I mean, you're a scientist, and there's a lot of high powered like crazy people around who could fix the issue." He seemed a bit confused by this.

He then jumped when Kazuya appeared. "Man! Why do people always do that around here?!"

--------

"Well... let's hurry up then!" Haru let out.
