Sunday Early morning

[heromaniac]

It had taken some time, but both of the kids had finally seemed to understand that this was a different and safe Momoko and that was a different but safe Fandom Island. Over lunch, they'd discovered that both children were refugees from the Fandom where Vampires had taken over and they were now living in Tokyo City with the Momoko who'd been to

Alex didn't answer for a second, but gave her a sort of hard-to-read look.

Eventually he spoke. "Sometimes." The sort of vague answer that didn't really tell anyone anything.

"About the island?" Momoko was stepping carefully, here. "I do have nightmares sometimes. From when I was in the war in Glacia."

[momokodomo]

"War?" Alex shook his head. "I don't know if Momo would come back from a war." On her worse days she was barely holding on already. No way she needed to go get involved in a war.

"If she's the me I remember, she'd have saved more people," Momoko contradicted him. "I wasn't able to do much direct combat. Mostly guerrilla stuff and recon until the very end."

The phone rang with Dinah's ringtone.

Nope, she had no idea there were kidlets around-- but it was her birthday, and she was going to be having fun later, and wanted to talk to her BFF before that got started.

If she dialed Momoko's phone, there weren't any kidlets around. At least, Momoko hoped none were sitting on top of the mountain she'd decided to rest at.

"Hey! You're up awfully early for a birthday girl!" Momoko put as much cheer into her voice as she could. "Or did you just have a long night?"

"Up early, doing my run," Dinah told her, lacing up her shoes on a park bench, with her bluetooth in. "Twenty-five years old, holy wow."

Everybody say hey to the birthday girl!

"No specific plans for later, but I thought I'd get some phone calls in to everyone first!"

"You mean check in to see if we remembered?" Momoko snickered. "Your gifts are in the mail and Jaime has steaks in the freezer in hopes you come visit to complain in person that they don't fit."
