*The Next Day*

"Rise and Shine!" Robin smiled as she walked into the room Harley shared with the Namoris. Harley sat up immediately, jumped out of bed and hugged her mother, "Morning Momma." " Good morning, Harley." But, the Namoris didn't get up right away. After about 2 minutes, O'Genesis woke up and looked at the now open window. Light gray light streamed into the room, giving everything a sort of glow. She sat up and walked out of the room and downstairs to see Robin and Harley in the kitchen, eating breakfast.

"Good morning." She yawned. "Good Morning, O'Genesis." Robin and Harley greeted with a smile. Robin sat down a plate of pancakes and sausage. "Thank you, Robin." Robin smiled and nodded before walking out of the kitchen. "Hey, want to go into the city with me?" "Sure why not." O'Genesis said as she chewed her pancake. "Great, I'll meet you in the front with Alice and please do not bring your sister..she's a pain in the behind." Harley sighed as she got up from the table, put her dish in the sink and walking briskily out of the house, her long, black cloak billowing behind her.

Harley rushed to finish her breakfast before O'Jase woke up to terrorize her and these poor people. As soon as she was finished, she put her plate in the sink and rushed outside to see Harley waiting on top of Alice. "Ready?" Harley smiled as she pulled O'Genesis up. O'Genesis held onto Harley s Alice took off into the sky. Now, a beautiful sun of black sat in the sky in the shape of a bishop. Alice landed in the middle of a street where not a lot of people were passing. They got off and she took flight again. "Here, take these." Harley haded O'Genesis a silk, black purse. She took it with caution and weighed the purse in her hand, the purse heavy in it.

"What's in it?" She asked cautiously. "Look inside." Harley said simply. O'Genesis opened the purse and pulled out a silver coin branded with a wreath and a Queen inside the wreath. In small print next to the wreath read '1 Dominion'. "Dominion..what's that?" "Dominion is the currency of this city. The one with the Queen on it stands for 1 Dominion." Harley explained. "So..it's like 1 dollar?" O'Genesis asked. "What's a dollar?" Harley asked, confused. "A dollar is a paper note that's used to buy things...in our world we use green notes and coins." O"Genesis replied. "Ahhhh....ok." Harley nodded, understanding. "Ok..however 'dollars' work in your world, Dominions work the same way. The small, tiny coins are called Dominos." Harley smiled. "They work the same way as notes and coins work in your world." She nodded.

"Oh, ok, thanks Harley." O'Genesis smiled. "Anytime. I'll see you at Winter Solstice Bistro." Harley waved and walked away, her cloak billowing behind her. O'Genesis watched her go until turning to a random store readin Champion's Tailoring. "hmmm...maybe I can get a cloak. I mean come on, how much can one cloak cost." She smiled as she walked into the tall building.
