hysterically. “I’ll be laughing all the way to school about it!” Sabien exclaimed in delight.
    Geon sheepishly smiled as Mama V interrupted just in time. “Now vere is that rascal Kuki? Late again, I see! Mama V gonna teach him a good lesson about tardiness in this house! No fruit sauce for Kuki today!”
    “Mama V, what’s cooking over there? It smells great!” Geon said, trying his best to feign sincerity.
    “HAH! Looks like we have another funnyman in our house now. You think I was born yesterday, you precious rogue! I know when you are trying to get on Mama’s good side. This is the same ‘ol mishmash as we eat every day, okay? Mama know all your tricks already little boy, okay?”
    Geon laughed and asked for a bowl of her finest sludge.
    “Vit fruit flavor or no? We have arrrazberry!”
    Geon looked at Allea and Sabien puzzlingly and mumbled with a smile so only they could hear him, “I have no idea what type of fruit that is…”
    “You mean raspberry, right Mama V?” said Allea, without looking up from her hologram.
    “Dat’s vat I said! Arrrazberry! Dis vat we have. Arrrazberry!”
    The three quietly laughed at Mama V’s pronunciation efforts and Geon replied with a smile.
    “Sounds fine, Mama V. I’ll try it.”
    She squirted the sauce into the bowls and brought them over to the group. Then she turned and put her large hands on her hips. “Where is the other one? He’s alvays late!” She went thumping down the hall and banged on the bathroom door. “Kumuki! You gonna be late dear! This mush not gonna eat itself, you know? That’s it now! No fruit sauce for you today!”
    “Hey, Mama V, tell him to power up and assemble,” said Sabien.
    “Vat’s dat mean?”
    “Don’t worry about it Mama V. He will understand. Just say it.”
    “Okay Kumuki…you power up and assemble ya, okay?”
    The three laughed uncontrollably at Mama V’s attempt to fit in with them. Geon smiled, already feeling comfortable around her. She’s nearly fifty years older than us, but seems to make every effort to try to relate to us and be a part of our lives.
    The bathroom door finally slid open and Kumuki came stumbling out, one shoe on, one shoe in his hand, pants open at the top, and jacket dragging on the ground in his other hand. He turned the corner and came face to face with a stern-looking Mama V and three grinning faces. Geon couldn’t help but laugh at his disheveled appearance. On top of being so disorganized and jumbled, Kumuki had a constant look of surprise on his face that seemed to add to his confused disposition.
    “Hey, y’all, sorry to keep you waiting!” he croaked as he hurried over to the table and squeezed in. He grabbed his bowl of mush and started eating quickly, his head ducked down over his food.
    “Morning, Kumuki!” Allea pleasantly announced. “I trust that you had a nice, long, leisurely steamjet?”
    Geon and Sabien laughed and Sabien patted Kumuki on the back. “Glad you could make it, buddy! We were all a little worried about you. Those Excelerators can be tricky sometimes!”
    Kumuki looked up from his bowl and smiled awkwardly and went back to eating. He finished quickly and the four of them got up and made their way toward the door.
    “Have a nice day my dears! Don’t forget to alvays be true to you and think for yourself! You have beautiful brain so don’t vaste it!”
    “Okay, Mama V,” they chimed. “See you tonight!”
    The foursome walked out of their home and onto the city streets, ready for another exciting day of school.
    As they walked from their home to the Glidewing station, Geon looked up at the sky. There was not a single crack through the permamist through which direct sunlight could be seen or felt.
    “Some sunny day, eh?” Sabien asked. “We always get false predictions of sunny days. CARE thinks it gives us hope. But really, it just annoys me.”
    Geon looked at Allea, surprised she didn’t have a response to Sabien’s comment.
    As they
