  Storm didn't seem too pleased as he saw the dame leaning on the side of the vendor rather suspiciously as she grimaced at the
  closed tent behind the vendor. Athena was standing near her and looked done with everything while Alex was sitting on top of his
  mother's head and was wearing a fancy top hat with a little tuxedo and bow-tie with stars all over it. The top brim of his hat
  had orange and blue lights on it, he looked a little tired too.  "Yeah...it really is her..." Storm scowled at Overcast and spoke
  spitefully, Sniper's ears pinned back a little as he seemed slightly nervous from what Storm said. But then Overcast noticed Storm's
  oh-so manly voice, causing her ears to perk up and her eyes go wide from surprise...a bitter surprise. Like getting socks on your
  birthday. As her vision focused on Storm, she scowled with gritted teeth and a slightly wrinkled snout. Just seeing him left a
  bitter coat on her tongue, the same would go for Storm too. While Alex felt this sudden movement of her head, he looked a little
  confused...so he stared at what she was looking at...and he instantly looked nearly if not just as mad at Storm as his
  threatening mother was. Sniper would get more nervous as he watched the two rivals practically have a showdown with each
  other just with their glares.

  "U-uh...maybe we should look at the food instead?" Sniper glanced over at the vendor...and saw that there was literally no
  food on the table. Just a lot of condiments and jams...and whipped cream. His eyes went a little wide as Cookies looked like
  he was about to fall asleep, thankfully though; Sniper's words didn't fall on deaf ears this time and Storm would look back at
  his brother. "Yeah...wait-" his eyes went wide as he saw literally no food on the table, just trays and large plates "where's the
  food?!" he seemed pretty shocked. But as he thought about something, his ears would perk and he slightly glared at Overcast
  out of the corners of his eyes as she was talking to her family...probably about. . .evil, evil things. . .like how Daydream
  accidentally slipped that one time. She did look pretty angry though...BUT STILL! He just knew that she had to have something
  to do with this. "I don't know! Maybe they're about to bring it out!" Sniper said with his eyes being a pastel violet color. "No, no,
  no. . .she did it" he looked back at Sniper and Overcast was too late to stare back into Storm's eyes, but she could tell that he was
  staring at her for quite a bit. So she returned the favor and glared back at him while she spoke to her family in the process.

  Sniper blinked twice and would sweat a little more "uhhhh...I don't think so, Storm" he would nervously look at Overcast past
  Storm and feel anxious. Storm looked unamused while Anastasia just looked done with life "really now?! What makes you think
  that?" he questioned rather spitefully. "Well..." his eyes would turn back to yellow slightly as he stared back up at his brother
  "she hasn't done anything wrong today! At all!" he answered with some pep to his voice. He glanced back up at Overcast and saw
  that a firefly was flying towards her, she noticed this and her eyes went wide with curiosity at the green glow. Her enlarged
  pupils locked onto the small bug and Alex would do the same and he slightly hid his face behind her big, fluffy head. Storm
  furrowed his brows down at his brother as Sniper's eyes turned a faint pink color "really now?! What makes you think that she
  won't do anything bad today at all then?!" Cookies was nearly asleep by now as Anastasia seemed to be saving up some words.
  Sniper looked back up at his brother "just look at her, Storm!!!" he answered happily and Storm would look unamused and
  annoyed that Sniper would recommend that to someone like Storm. But of course, with Storm being the nice guy he was (and
  totally not a pushover); he looked back at Overcast with annoyed  features.

  He would see that she innocently had a firefly sitting on her big, damp nose. It's abdomen would glow a faint greenish yellow color
  as it's antennae twitched around slightly. Her large pupils would gently shake side to side as they looked down at the cute little bug
  "see, Storm. She's being sweet!" he said a little quietly, Overcast would notice them talking and her pupils went back to their
  normal size. Storm relaxed a little, but only by a little; he clearly still had his suspicions about her. Especially with the whole
  traumatizing whipped cream thing they saw "trust me Storm, if she looks at a bug like that. Then she's just going to ignore us and
  play in the fields!" he said happily. As Storm was about to speak, they both saw Overcast grit her teeth for a moment, causing her
  pupils to form into slits before she opened her mouth. This made the firefly fly in mid air for a moment...before she clamped her
  jaws down on it, making a slight snap be heard from her sharp teeth.
