Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 12

"Congratulations, Loonatics and friends," Zadavia appeared from Tech's glove caller. "I am very impressed with your effort, Estelle."

"Why thank you," Estelle blushed a little. "It was nothing, really..."

"The monster spider population has been shut down," Zadavia seemed to smile for a change. "Take the rest of the day off. You all have earned it."

"Thank you, ma'am, and also, me and Akito have to tell you all something." Estelle said.

"Yeah and I think we are thinking the same thing." Akito said.

"Oh, and what's that?" Zadavia asked.

Estelle and Akito looked to Vincent, Felicity, Zadavia, and the Loonatics. "We're staying with the Loonatics." they then said in unison.

"What do you mean?" Zadavia asked the twins.

"We've decided to stay here in the future." Akito said.

"That's right, we're not leaving this time." Estelle added.

"Ya sure, kids?" Ace asked them. "I mean, what about your parents?"

"Or your friends?" Lexi added.

"Not to mention that aunt of yours." Duck input.

"We'll see them again someday." Estelle said.

"Yeah, but until then, we're staying here with you all." Akito said.

Zadavia then smiled, looking like she knew. "Very well... Vincent, Felicity, you better tell your family..."

Vincent and Felicity agreed before they went back to their own time, but this time without Akito and Estelle. They all waved goodbye as Vincent and Felicity went back to the present.

"Well, looks like we're going to have two more for the tower," Duck said. "But do they really have to wear those clothes? Why not uniforms similar to ours?"

"I'm sure we can work something out." Lexi shrugged with a smile.

"Yeah, I'll make you guys look better than Duck." Rev assured.

Everybody laughed while Duck was given the short-end of the stick yet again, glaring at them. With friends like these, who needed enemies? "Oh, ha ha ha, very funny..." he then groaned.

"But first, we'll need to find out both of your sizes on shirt pant/dress and shoes." Tech said.

"It shouldn't be too hard," Estelle said. "Also, nothing too revealing... I'm only seven."

"Of course." Tech chuckled.

They all got back to the Tower to enjoy their day-off and welcome their newest members to their temporary home.

Cherry fell asleep in the chair she had sent the kids off to by the time Vincent and Felicity came back.

"Maman, we are home!" Felicity tried to wake her mother.

"No Forte, I don't want to go to school, now get out of my room before I sue you for harassment..." Cherry mumbled in her sleep.

"Aunt Cherry, wake up, we're back." Vincent said while shaking her to wake her up.

Cherry snorted a little, then her eyes fluttered and she woke up, rubbing her eyes. "Oh hey, kids..." she then noticed there were two of them missing. "Oh man... What happened? Did you meet the Ringmaster already? How am I ever going to explain this to your parents?"
