*In the other timeline with the sin kids, they had just finished breakfast and most of them were going about to enjoy their weekend, with a house as big as their though, the dishes are bound to pile up, as Leni finished her meal she saw the usual sight of Liena washing up the pile upon pile of dishes, Leni sighing internally as this has been a problem before, Liena's been doing the dishes for years at the house, sometimes staying up past midnight if it was a big dinner, she didn't like her kid doing it all alone, and even brought up to Lincoln who with the others help made a schedule for all the kids to keep track, needless to say though there's still time where Liena would be seen doing most if not all the dishes, with a little pull of her sleeves, Leni decides to pitch in, Liena not noticing at first, but upon hearing the sink, and seeing Leni pitch in, she smiled, but began to sign at her mother, trying to get her attention, it was by the fourth time she did it that Liena remember* "Right..." *she clears her throat and said in a soft but firm voice* Mom....thank you but you shouldn't be doing the dishes especially since the soaps getting into your hair *she said wiping a hand on a spare towel before trying to help fix her mom's hair*
@totes-leni-loud
Oh I can say hi to her too! Okay, we can just meet her at the other house then.
Lori: Like I said she doesn't have a concrete time when she's back, just said soon, so we'll have to see when were back home. *she said taking a sip of water*
Liena: Either way I can get started on the fence at least. then we can see whether the Young Aunt Luna shows up or not.
Sure! I got her something totes cute too I can surprise her with. *she lifts up a bag*
Carol: Yeah we can start heading back after we finish up, unless you got something you wanna get too, babe?
Lori: Nah Liena got her stuff, Leni got her clothes, and we got cute outfits for the summer, so I think we're good less you two wanted to visit the pet shop and see the cute puppies again *she teased*
Liena: oh that bag is so cute Mom.
Hehe right? I figured it would go great whenever she does her ads thingy!
Carol: Ohh don't tempt me, Loud~ Alrighty, we can start heading back quick cause that'll be another hour right there
Liena: *She giggles* Aww you really love her huh mom?
Lori: *She chuckles* Maybe we can get a quick peek though *she winks, as they got up, Lori did tempt Carol enough to see more of those cute puppies, and kittens, they spent a few minutes there, Liena almost wanting to adopt one, they headed back and roughly two hours later, Liena has been building the fence and using the material to start up the ground for the tomatoes, Leni was out there helping with materials, but lounging on the chair as well enjoying that sweet lemonade while Carol and Lori were inside, waiting for any of them to text back while Lori was bringing up some of the weird teachers they had back in school their freshman year, Lori getting in about one teacher, when suddenly a portal appears*
Lyra: *Before they knew it, they heard a loud noise and someone rushing in* LIENA!!! LIENA!!! wait Aunt LORI Please tell me she's here! *she said Lyra sounding a bit manic at the moment*
H-hi-woah woah! Take a deep breath! She's here and she's fine. She and Leni are out back setting up the garden.
Leni: Ooo it's starting to look like those cute farms from those books. *she giggles, passing Liena along some more fencing*
Liena: *She giggles as she finished up the fence with one more nail* yep, thanks for the help mom I hope the lemonade still just as sweet as you *she said with a wink*
Lyra: *she didn't need to hear more as she practically kick the back door open, Lyra yelling Liena's name, as the blonde haired girl's head turned to the noise, Lyra practically tackling her as she hugged her tightly* OOOOH Liena I'm so sorry are you okay? You're not hurt or anything are you?
Lori: wow....uh yeah she's usually more chill than this. I think she was just really worried.
Liena: *though Lyra tackled her, she didn't fall into the ground, instead she took the tackle and the girl barely realized what was happening until she heard Lyra's voice, a small blush appearing as the girl got that tight hug* O-Oh Lyra?! You're here!! w-wait I'm dirty you shouldn't hug me
Leni: Oh no are you okay?! *she quickly tried to help Lyra up, much to her clinginess* Sorry! We're still finishing up here and I thought I moved some stuff away from the stairs*
...should we check? I just heard someone fall over.
Lyra: N-No no I'm fine I-I'm fine I was just really worried *she said Lyra now tearing up a bit*
Liena: Aw Lyra shhh *she said giving her hair a little stroke* here Mom can you give her some lemonade, we'll finish up with the last piece in a moment.
Lori: here I'll give a check see what's going on *she said getting up*
Oohh you were looking for Liena. Yeah, we were waiting on Luna or Lisa to get us that watch to send her back, though I guess it works out now since you have one. Though don't sleep on the lemonade, it is like super refreshing!
Lyra: *she takes a swing of the lemonade, taking a deep breath as she calms down* dude I legit come back to see a broken watch on the floor in the kitchen, I texted the house group chat to see if anyone was home, and Aunt Leni told me Liena was, I fixed up the watch thinking it might've sent her to just one world, I see the last uses were legit 30 freaking worlds!!!!
Liena:....oooh that might've been cause I was pressing buttons to cancel it from sending me from the kitchen.
Lyra: well long story short I spent the last two hours jumping world to world to find her, *she sighs* just so fucking glad she ended up here instead of the lava world I almost bit the dust in. *she said wiping off a tear*
Lori: Well she's alright Lyra, maybe you should take a breather though sounds like you were scared shitless.
Have another glass of lemonade. How about you, Liena? You're not too hurt either?
Liena: *She giggles* aww I'm fine mom, takes a lot to hurt me, been working in the kitchen for years after all *she said patting Lyra's head*
Lyra: *She takes another glass of lemonade, taking another breath* y-yeah I'll just head inside, I'm guessing new garden?
Liena: yep...I'm growing tomatoes now!
Lyra: hehe yeah you said you wanted a good spot for them. I'll just take it easy inside. *she said now heading back*
*she sighs in relief* Man she really missed you. Hehe but at least she knows you're safe and sound and not disappearing too. That totes scared me too when we first met your other sisters.
Liena: Aw sorry if they scared ya *she said giving Leni a light hug, and a little stroke of her hair*
Lyra; *She wonders back in taking deep breaths, finally getting back to relaxing*
Lori: *She gives her a chair* you alright?
Lyra: ugh traveling 30 worlds under two hours makes you really really sweaty and tired.
No it's okay, at least she can take you home after this. Wanna just finish up this fence?
Carol: *she walks in* Yeesh you really do look like you've been through a lot. Quite literally too.
Liena: hehe yeah letâs finish up the fence. Though you ever have the time you should totally meet my mom heh I think you two would get along
Lyra: trust me Iâm just glad Liena alright I donât care if I sprain my leg just trying to *she glanced up and sees the blonde*âŚoh shit Carol Pingrey?
Hehe she does sound so nice. *she goes back to gathering up the fencing as the two finish up on the garden*
Carol: That's me. I don't think we've properly met but I've heard of you through Lori and Luna mostly.
Liena: *she smiles as they get finished up, the ground having been dug up being prepped for the seeds Liena would put in later*
Lyra: *that got a chuckle out of her* sorry ugh my head's jumbled up from stress cause of this whole thing, figures mom and Aunt Lori would've told you about us, I guess you know which mom's mine, she is right though, you're a hell of a looker at this age. *she said being blunt which got a small blush from the blonde*
Lori: *she chuckles* oooh yeah she is. oh speaking of which I wanted to know the deal with me and Carol in your time?
Lyra: huh the deal with them? what deal?
Lori: Leina said we were still fighting or something.
Lyra: *that raised an eyebrow* no you two made up like years ago, after Mom and Carol started dating actually back when she was in high school. heh that's why Mom still keeps in touch with Aunt Carol just cause I'm pretty sure she regrets not really putting a ring on her finger as well...but that's a different story I think only mom can tell...think she might be thinking of Aunt Ronnie-Anne.
Heh guess we still won over there too. That's good though, cause I heard she's got some issues with some people in the family. I just wasn't sure if I was involved or if they meant somebody else entirely.
Lyra: nah you're fine Aunt Carol. You just moved away to pursue a career out of state, that's why most of the family haven't really kept in touch, that and why mom is the only one to really talk to you. Even if she doesn't talk every month, she does try to see how you're doing.
Lori: yeah the issues with some of the family is more personal stuff that's a bit dark. but that's really more on the Older Lori, still I'm making sure things don't really repeat here.
Lyra: heh that's good.
Well yeah, plus she stuck with me so that pretty little mind of hers will be as pure as the day we've gotten together~ *she giggles* So you're taking Liena home then?
Lyra: *she laughs a little* trust me aunt carol i know that mind isnât as pure as you claim it to be *she teased* and yeah Iâm most likely gonna take her mom after sheâs done starting that up. Knowing her she will wanna come back asap
Lori: hehe sheâs really Leniâs kid huh?
Lyra: oh biggest heart in the house.. yeah she is, I love her cause of that.
Well it's good to know she takes up after Leni. Plus she's giving Lori here a garden and some killer lemonade.
Lyra: god I knew she was the one behind the lemonade. No one makes it as sweet as her. *she sighs* you know last time I saw you aunt carol was at my graduation and before then when I was six, sort of nostalgic just talking to youâŚ.maybe I should tell mom we should have her over again. Since she couldnât stick around after the ceremony.
Lori: hehe guessing you care about your aunt carol?
Lyra: of course. Other than aunt Sam she was one of momâs closest girlfriends, cool, funny, hehe she was my cool aunt carol. Though might just be cause mom is afraid to have her over for too long.
Heh well I'm sure if I was me, I'd come by and visit in a heartbeat. You can always count on me~ *she smiles*
Lyra: *She couldn't help blush a little* yeah I totally see how you got mom to fall for you big time. thanks though I think I'll give her a call and make a surprise, I feel like mom could use one.
Lori: *she giggles* well I think they're about finished now *she said looking out the window*
Lyra: oh yeah I shouldn't kept them waiting too long *she said getting up* thanks for the help both of you and it was great seeing you again.*she said looking over at Carol*
Yeah nice to meet you too, Lyra. If you ever come across me over there, just ask about Love Boat. I'm not sure if it's still up in the future but I know I'd be all caught up.
