"I did not broke the Coffee machine Quinn" Gary was putting on his clothes, after waking up with second sun of Earth 2.0. Dark skin woman was out on her vacation, that she well earned throw this year on this new home planet.

"Well someone had to do it, and it sure wasn't me!" answered throw the phone his roommate."And last I checked, you the one who got hot chocolate from it" she added. Busted...

"I will say nothing more without the lawyer!" Gary almost fall, tripping on his pants. " I really didn't do anything!" he swear to on his cookies portion. "Beside... How can you be so sure? You the one who is practically married to that think..." . Quinn was quiet on the other side.

"Okay, ye... I don't know if it was you, or I just clicked too many thinks on it when I was half awake..." she admit. "Who need so many options?!" she asked no one, when Gary was gasping that he, indeed, win this argument. Walking down they were talking about getting new one... Until he walk in, and saw it working without any complain, and his little kinda-sister, eating croissant. Half with butter, half with chocolate cream. Green and gray eye lazily looked up from the teen magazine, looking at him.

"It needed cleaning" she just said, moving her head in coffee machine way, which was finishing making coconut flavored latte.

"Welp... I was too sleepy to know that..." dark haired woman comment throw phone."Anyway, have a good day, I'm out, don't call till evening" then she hang up. Calla got up, and took the mug, drinking from it.

Young girl was home schooled, but even so, she was having vacations, after taking some middle school exams. Although, to him, she's already smart enough to pass school and do what she want. Cherry on top is that she probably can go thru life just with money her parents left her, but she is more ambitious than that... or him... 

She picked up quiet useful hobbies, he was proud as heck about it, like hacking, cooking (he thank whoever up there for that), how every possible machine or vehicle work and are build, astronomy... She was starting to write stories and draw, from simple apple to big crew ships. He promise he will take her into space some day, for now they just spend days on visiting museums, shopping malls, doing sports like climbing, biking, her favorite swimming...  just staying home in they movie or gaming room...

"You calling them tonight, or they call you?" her question bring him back. She was standing before him, plate of Micky mouse pancakes with scramble eggs and bacon. Taking it, he notice she painted her nails, again, with dark blue color, adding kitty stickers . There were goggles on her head, she started to experiment with her hair color, right now they were ginger, her natural one, with purple since her ear. She started to wear a lot of sweat pants with tops, shirts, blouses well everything she wear is before belly button. She was sixteen, so he didn't feel like he can tell her what she can wear, but he did get her some jacket and blouses long to half her hips, and she did wear them, so ye...

"I think we will have a call" he answer, taking the plate. She just nod, which mean she will stay in her room for the rest of the day. Taking some snack she wave and quickly run the stairs to her room. He just laugh and eat quietly, well almost, because he could hear a muffed music from girl room.

Laying in the living room, he doze off, till Calla shook him awake. Looking at her, she was in nice dress with bag on her shoulder. "I was trying to wake you up for five minuets" she sigh.

"Sorry,sorry... What is it?" He yawns, stretching out. "I'm going to the cinema and shopping, I be back around 9 p.m" she said, to which he just nod, and she was already at the door. Checking if he missed a call, he let out a relief breath when he saw he indeed, did not.

Walking out throw french door to the garden he smiled. Seeing all the butterflies on flowers he and two females planted. There was a big pool, sunbeds under umbrella, table, even a bar. On one of sunbeds and table were Wu and Mac, Calla cats. Ginger one and black one, he smiled and call them over. Wu just open his yellow eye, and roll over to the other side, in gesture 'talk to my fluffy butt', Mac, on the other hand, stand up, stretch and lazily, but also gracefully walk to Gary. Human picked him up, getting a loud purring as a reword , for getting scratches on his head. Fruit trees and bushes, as well as vegetable plants were growing nicely and healthy. 

Taking a basket into the other hand he go to pick some of the all grown-up plants. Maybe he will make some salad, Calla really like those... Black cat, with blue and grey eye, was gently playing with his hair, this kitty was so freaking smart... Standing up and getting back inside, fur ball still staying on his arms.

He, indeed, made a salad. After eating himself, he start to read something, waiting for a call. Here's the thing, he put his phone device to always auto answer calls from Crimson Light... And here come main characters... Calla's cats. Wu and Mac decide to come at him with cute faces. Gary, with a smile, started to play with them. Petting them, playing with they paws, scratching they ears...

"What is dad doing?" Littlecato voice was the pre-sound before shattering glass sound. He look up and see big dark cat, and smaller orange one, with blue mohawk.

"He's doing weird stuff son, like always" answered bigger Ventrexian.

"Wu and Mac just come to play" Gary stuck his tongue out, putting Mac up, by his paws, little beans showed to cat-like persons on the other side. Little laugh a little, and Avo just raise an eyebrow.

"They Calla cats?" asked the kid, he was more enthusiastic  about seeing earthly pet.

"Yup" Gary smiled, taking one into a hug, but cause it was Mac, he got paw into face, no claws thankfully." Mac, come on" said blond one with sad face. Cat just meow with deadpan stare on his muzzle. Wu started to rub himself on Gary arms."At least one of you like me" human started to hug and pet orange cat, who was purring, laying on his laps, belly up.

"I see why you say I kinda look like that think" said Avocato, under his breath, looking at Gary with smile, his son was looking with, oh irony, cat smile at his father.

They talked a little, about cats space journey, Little was telling how much weapons they got, who they catch, killed, how much money they got. He thanked Gary for his anty-gravity board, that human got him for his birthday, and Calla got it some up-greats. 

After Little go to play with Fox, they treat those super seriously , it's a tie for now. Avocato sigh when he was alone, just little old Gary on the other end. "How you doing?" asked human, with face telling that it's all fine, but for the love of cookies, he will not listen to bullshit Avo would tell, if they son would still be in the room.

"I'm just kinda tired, baby" he said, relaxing in his seat, not even fully noticing that, it always happened when Gary was near by, even throw a phone call, apparently. "We did a lot of work here, I was thinking of going home, Little could use a school, and more kids his age as friends". Blond one heart sink in... Isn't his home planet in war? What the hell dose he think taking little back there?!

"I was thinking... You told me there are good schools on Earth 2.0..." he said, looking at side, hand on the back of his neck. Gary didn't process the information he heard." And... you have big house, and a sister in my kid age..." Avo was still going, he never asked someone if he can just move in with them, even the mother of his kids, Ventraxian women were too independent to take care of kids, so they just left them with dads. He got his son that died with one woman, his daughter with, yet, another female, she was most likely dead... and now he only got Little, and we don't talk about how he got him.

"You wanna come here, to live with us?" Goodspeed asked.

"Wow, ye just ruin my speech that I think throw for past hour and half..." said Avo with deadpan face expression. Gary laugh a little.

"We be happy to have You!" said Gary with big smile"... And the rest of cours!" he added quickly with little red on his cheeks."Oh man! Calla will love to look at Crimson Light! And have other person to talk about all the mechanic stuff!" Gary was already planing rooms, trips, all the fun they will have... Dark fur catman was listening and looking with a smile, chin on hand, elbow on one up-folded knee.

In the end they both didn't even know that they fall asleep while talking. Calla come back, seeing it, she sigh. Put blanket on Gary, and ended the call, seeing too late, who was on the other side...
