BlueBell complained,"I've never eaten real food before! This is too hard!" Toxic giggled and bounced up and down on the couch, and said, "Alright--one more! Close your eyes!" BlueBell sighed,"Which one was the last one?" Toxic smiled and said,"Curly bug! It was a curly bug! You really like it! I like 'em best cooked and with spices and stuff! Cooked food is better than raw. I don't know why....it just is! Now close your eyes!" BlueBell smiled and closed her eyes and opened her mouth. Major Dorton shook his head and tried not to smile. He hefted his fusion rifle, and tried not to salivate over the bowl of food in front of the rainbow colored girl. He snapped his head to his left and looked into a tall blond's eyes. She gave him a wink and slid by him soundlessly and threw herself upon the rainbow girl from behind. The blond woman whispered, "Guess who?" Toxic was so surprised, she gave out a squeak and dropped the cookie she was trying to feed to BlueBell. Toxic squealed out,"JIN! JIN! EEEEEEEE!" BlueBell was giggling like crazy, and she and Toxic tried talking at the same time about they met while dead and were like sisters now and other things. After a couple of jumbled minutes in their verbal whirlwind, Jin put one hand over Toxic's mouth and the other over BlueBell's mouth. "SHUT-UP, you two goofballs! I guess you made a friend,Toxic. Now be quiet,you two!" Jin couldn't stop grinning and fought back tears of joy. Jin smiled and hugged Toxic again and whispered,"I'm just glad you didn't stay dead." Toxic beamed at Jin and said in a loud voice,"I had HELP! 518 and Martya helped, but dropped the ring, but BlueBell's dad saved me! That's him by the window! Isn't he beautiful? All shiney likea big beetle and awfully nice,too!" Toxic pointed at the biggest Cyclops robot that Jin had ever seen. The shiny green robot turned toward them and nodded. Jin fought back a shout and just trembled in fear and anger. Jin choked out,"Toxic...one of those bastards tried to kill you last week! Did you forget? They're EVIL!" BlueBell objected,"HEY! Nuh-hunh! My dad is NOT evil! He's kind and compassionate, and tries to help people. He's smarter than I am. He didn't want me to sacrifice myself to blow this Flying City to bits. I volunteered. I was wrong. Toxic, Toffet and Kella changed my mind. Being dead for a while was the best thing that ever happened to me!" Toxic giggled and smiled at Jin and said,"What BlueBell said!" Princess Safira, behind Jin in golden armor, said flatly,"They are giving me a headache. It's like the chirping of birds." Jin looked over at Safira and shook her head. "Happy laughter from children is something that makes life worth living. EVEN IF you want to throttle them half the time." Safira nodded, and said ,"We just sent a message to the Cyclops city of Telegardia. There is no sign they received it." Jin said tightly,"I do NOT trust them. If Toxic is swearing for these two...I'll be polite. At least." Bluebell asked,"Can I get these cuffs off?" Major Dorten said flatly,"WE don't trust you, even if the pretty lady does." BlueBell sighed as Toxic picked up the cookie and went back to feeding BlueBell. Jin sat next to Toxic and asked what had been going on in the city. By the time Toxic finished, Saphira wasn't the only one with a headache. --TO BE CONTINUED!--
