((TAG Whoever!))

((shall we take it to the mansion grounds?))

((yea sure you get to make the begining post though))

((Yep. Nightlight starts it. Make us a playground thread or something))

((okie-dokie))

Daria wheeled Mike into the kitchen, tail swishing, ears twitching happily.

Sarah was on a stool at the counter, her back to the stove, upon which was a huge pot of mac and cheese. Daria laughed because Sarah had put on an apron that was too long.

"Something smells yummy."

Sarah looked up and grinned at them. "Sit down and eat!!!"

She's adorable...so..you're taste testing first, I'm sorry to tell you. she said to Mike, hoping Sarah couldn't hear. Daria didn't know how well the girl could use her powers yet.

Mike smirked at Daria. "Sarah makes the BEST mac and cheese. Here, try some, babe," he grinned, pushing the bowl at Daria. He knew it was the one really safe meal that Sarah made, but Daria didn't.

Sarah looked expectantly at Daria with those big, pleeeease eyes as she got another bowl out for Mike.

Daria ate without hesitation, even if it tasted bad she would eat it for Sarah. However it didn't taste bad, it tasted good, very good.

"Yum! Sarah good job! I may want another bowl...just to warn you."

Sarah beamed and put Mike's bowl on the table. As well as a tray of drinks, Milk for Daria included.

Mike took his bowl and, after taking a moment to savor it, took a bite. "Oh, god... Even Mac and Cheese tastes freaking gourmet when you haven't eaten for a month or two. He proceeded to continue eating ravenously, not taking any time to speak.

At the smell of food a certain she wolf ended up drifting into the room. She was still a bit out of it from the double time training miss Sun loo had given her for the race tommrow but still was awake enough to eat, sleep, move and talk.

"mmm food." She muttered before looking up to see Daria, Mike and Sarah. She nodded at thier existince. "Hey Daria, Hey Sarah, Hey Mike." Emerald said

Then the she wolf took a double take. "Wait Mike?! Youre awake and okay? How did that happen? Did Aliens abduct your brain and did they just port it back because you saved thier world? Or where you on an interdimesional adventure? Or did evil bunnys telport you to thier world so you can play some type of mindless game untill you have regained your sanity Or....maybe I should just let you tell me."

Once again Em's over active imagination thought of its own explanations for Mikes coma. She knew what really happened but it was good to wonder about other possibilities, to keep th e mood light.

((I love emmy))

Mike just laughed, shaking his head. "One of the nurses walked by and spilled water on me. You ever tried staying asleep when someone pours ice water on your pants?" he answered, winking at her. "No way in hell would she understand what happened... hell, *I* don't understand it," he thought to Daria.

Daria laughed at the ice water quip. "I swear I leave you alone with those nurses for one minute...clumsy air heads." she grinned.

I know what you mean She thought back to him I, of course don't get it, and all this makes me wonder what I'd look like on the astral plane... Like is there another version of me, like you and Cassiel...another version of everyone maybe...

Emerald smiled, happy that Mike was up and around. She wondered if daria would be a bit more happy now that Mike was back in action.

"So wait this means....Mike can come see my race!" Em exclaimed, pracically leaping off of the chair.

She turned into wolven form and put her paws on Mikes knee. "Please come see my race."

Emerald gave the telepath the old puppy dog eyes, bottom lip trembling.

"Oh... all right, stop giving me that look. I'll come. Now are you going to shift back and give me a hug or what?"

"I don't know, baby... non-psychics usually don't show up there, so it's hard to say what it'd look like."

Emerald grinned before shifting back into human form. She gave mike a tender, bear hug, which was hard..but she managed it. "We all missed you." She smiled, breaking the hug.

her thoughts shifted to Johnny and wondered if perhaps he would attempt to contact her. Maybe Mike had sensed him with his telepathy somehow...or maybe not.

The young she wolf's mind was riddled with questions about the younger asters son. She was worried, but she never showed it, she just looked for him at his normal hangoutss and at his apartment. But as of two weeks ago she put the search on pause to focus on racing.

'Maybe I should ask mike about him.' She thought to herself

(Maybe mike could make up an explanation on why john john has been missing,))
