Road tripping!

Mel never got her licence, though she always had an idea how to drive. Of course, those were 23rd century cars. The 20th century contraptions around this planet - after the first spectacular crash she's resorted to hitch hiking. It works better than you'd expect,mostly because every time someone begins to be less than polite, she can defend herself violently.


It's a drawn out search for her sister, not really having a clue where to look, and it's beginning to harden her where being with her girls had worked to soften. Journeying is lonely and it's only the commlink with the farm that's helping her sleep at night.

You could probably catch her anywhere on the great continent of Noram.

That little squeal was terribly insulted. "I's big girl!"

"Nuh-uh," Loo giggles. "You's teeny, Tiny!"

"No! I wan'-"

"Okay, that's enough," says Sokka, who must have put a hand over Hana's mouth, judging by her continued muffled protests. "You guys wanna train with Steph later? Then you'll be big and strong by the time you can go fight with mom, huh?"

"'ES!"

"S'ephie, S'ephie!"

"S'ka!"

"I swear, Hana does that just to confuse us," Sokka notes suspiciously, and two little girls giggle in the background.

"So you aren't encouraging her to say our names the right way because it's funnier this way, is basically what you're saying."

Sokka sounds entirely too amused for this to be a real criticism.

"Soffa S'ka!"

"Louise, don't you start!"

The girls giggle again.

"No, I'm not!"

Girlish giggles are interrupted by tiny sleepy yawns.

"Anyway, I didn't wake them up so all three of you could make fun of me."

"You're welcome, O Bratty One. Take care of yourself, okay? And call in tomorrow!"

"No! No, Mom!" Some toddler or another grabs the commlink again. "Come play wiff us!"

"No, now! Now!"

"Soon," Sokka repeats a little more sternly, and twin grumbles wriggle their way through the commlink. "If you're real good, Mom'll bring you back some monster-pieces and tell you all about her adventures."

"Yus! Tell s'ories, Mom!"

"We's good, real real good!"

"S'ories!"

"Lots of stories," Sokka agrees firmly, but it's obvious he's grinning, too. "Okay, tell Mom to be good and fight lots of monsters for you."

"Fights lots for me, Mom!"

"No, me!"

The idea of a spinning Unca sends both girls into fits of giggles.

"All right, all right. Say bye, Mom! Love you!"

"Bye-bye, Mom!"

"Luff, Mom!"
