(That's a rule I have when I'm writing about Kim Lizzie and Lucy. They can't go back to save Lucy or interfere with any other deaths, and they can't talk to the past or future versons of themselves. Also, Mike, if it's not too much to ask could you pretty please do another one of Mike's flashbacks of when he made Sam? I'm curious.)

Laura was perched on the counter with Kim, chitchatting about random things.

(OOC: Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the flashbacks. I'll do another one right now.)

~Flashback~
-2031-

The year 2031 was one for the history books, MegaWatt quickly rose to the ranks of Google, Amazon, and Microsoft as one of the largest companies on Earth because of it's massive profits from supplying weapons for what was quickly escalating to the largest war in human history. It was the year when the first space tourists visited the Moon and the first human had set foot on Mars. Large government space agencies were quickly becoming obsolete as the private sector began dominating space.

Mason became the main representative for MegaWatt industries, but Mike mostly kept to himself. Many people suspected that Mike was responsible for the war and the fact that he was unavailable for comment most of the time made many people suspicious. He went through a bit of a depression at that time, and immersed himself in his work a lot. He had this one pet project that he had been working on for over a year, he would sometimes even commission the MegaWatt R&D team to help him out with some aspects of it. His goal was to make a computer program that had artificial intelligence and appeared to have a personality. He called it Sam, which was short for "social assistant machine".

It started out as just a command line where Mike would type in something and it would respond in text, he improved the program until eventually it's ability to pass as a human improved. It was given the ability to interact with everything on Mike's personal computer and after a few mishaps resulting in pretty serious computer problems it got to a point where Mike could ask it to copy files, launch programs, and search for information on the internet. He hooked it up to voice recognition software and a speech synthesizer so that he could speak to it and it could speak back, the voice he gave it sounded almost like that of a child because it still sometimes acted rather childish still and after so long that's how Mike began thinking of Sam. Eventually the program took enough processing power that he had to transfer it to a large mainframe computer, but with the rapid advancement of computer science he hoped that one day he could run it on a small portable bot.

(OOC: Sam is also the name of my best friend, which is another reason why I named that bot Sam of all things.)

(That's so cool! )

"So, what other than Lucy has been going on with you?" Laura asked.
Kimmy sighed, downcasting her bright blue eyes. "About two weeks ago my dad told me that we would have you -I mean you as a 25 year old- comming to stay with us because my dad is the champion of another region and you needed to come up with a double battle strategy for World's, even though how much my dad said we could wing it. So, I was all exited, but then when I was comming home from trainers school to meet you I was kidnapped by this huge flying pokemon along with Lucy and Lizzie who tried her best to defend us. We eventually got home after about a week and three days, and my mom told me to go back a few years to be safe. So World's was set back for awhile until it was safe again." She explained, her face as red as a tomato.

(Bump.)

(Wow Midnightstar, your two posts were 24 hours apart to the minute. Did you do that on purpose?)

"Your macaroni's done," Guinan told Dan. She listened to Kimmy's story. "I'm glad you got away," she said to the little girl. "Did your mom and dad want you to find Laura here?"

(No, no I didn't. )

"Nope! It's actually the craziest coincedence, they wanted me to find one of them but I ended up in Kalos for some reason. But I totally lucked out!" She grinned at Laura.

"Alright, thank you," Dan responded, just finishing up slicing the bell peppers. Dan then finds a strainer and puts it in the sink, then walks over to the boiled macaroni, takes it, and dumps it into the strainer in the sink, filtering out all the boiling hot water into the drain.

Dan then checks on the medium pot of eggs boiling in hot water. Dan then turns it off, lets it cool off, and then finds some ice cubes from the freezer, and puts them in the pot of hard-boiled eggs. Dan then walked back to the cutting board, and then finds a carrot peeler from the drawer, and then starts peeling the carrots he also bought from the store.

Mike 2 looks at the data that Mike 1 sent about the invasion and says "Uhh... Slight problem, it says here that they invaded you with 4 carrier class capital ships, but in my universe the fleet we detected was a Leviathan class capital ship escorted by two small gunships."

Mike 1: "Wait, what's a Leviathan class capital ship? I've never heard of it."
Mike 2: "The most powerful Heiwa Federation ship, it has a giant beam weapon that can take down anything smaller then a carrier in one hit... Does that ring a bell?"
Mike 1: "Nope."
Mike 2: "Our universes might not be as similar as I thought... I think it would be best if I went back to help, it seems like you have things handled here. Could you look after my wormhole containment unit?"
Mike 1: "Sure. Won't they kill you if they win though?"
Mike 2: "Why would they do that?"
Mike 1: "'Cause they hate you for creating the-... Oh yeah."

Mike 2 messages the station telling them to open up the wormhole. He takes out his wormhole containment unit and releases the wormhole as it opens up, once it's fully open and stretched into a triangle shape by the spacial nodes he steps through. Before the wormhole closes he says "We should totally keep in contact." and Mike 1 replies "Agreed." The wormhole begins closing and the robotic systems on the station close the containment device around the wormhole before the wormhole collapses completely, leaving the small containment capsule on the ground. Mike picks it up and stows it in a pocket.

"B-But... If they weren't trying to invade you to kill you because they don't like you, why were they..." Mike 2 was already gone before Laura got to finish.

Kimmy was left blank white wide eyed in shock at the wormhole opening and closing, but sighed. "I guess if I can go through time, there must be people who can go to other dimensions..." she leaned against Laura, tremling in fear.

Lizzie curiously flittered about the spot where the portal had been, wondering where it went.

(Bump)

After Dan finished peeling the carrots, he returned the stove to check the hard-boiled eggs cooling off in the pot. After making sure they're ready, Dan then drained the water down the drain from the pot, then carried the pot full of hard-boiled eggs to the kitchen counter, next to the cutting board he was using. Dan then finds a bowl, and then starts peeling off the shells from the eggs, putting the eggshells in the bowl.

(OOC: Where are Kiki, Gristle, Oeuyia, Angewomon, and Karion? Not to mention Lilli, who's somewhere out there...)

"Good luck and safe travels," Guinan said to Mike 2. She stood there for a moment, watching the wormhole open and close. Then, she went back to the kitchen to start peeling shells off the eggs with Daniel and tossing all the shells in the trash.

"There was... a war." Kiki said. "Or, not really a war, but a revolution. ...That had been going on since I was very young." they mused as they chopped a potato into slices.

"I don't wanna explain the whole thing, but basically there were some... folks in my kingdom who didn't like the way my people were being treated. So they wanted to start a rebellion."

Kiki looked over to the side and stuck a cheese square onto the counter for Kimmy to try. "Here, have some cheese."

They continued. "I... knew some people who were part of a resistance group that was trying to take over the government by force. But on one of these occasions, there was an... accident, which led to the loss of many lives."

Kiki was looking increasingly uncomfortable as they said this.
They looked up at Laura. "Anyway, uh, does that satisfy you? There's some history behind it, but it's long and complicated and I don't know if you wanna sit through all that." they laughed.

"Ooh! Thank you!" Kimmy said before happily devouring it.

Laura frowned as Kiki told the story. "That... that sucks..." She mumbled, adverting her eyes as if she was embarrased she asked.

When Kiki asked if that was all she wanted to know, Laura nodded slightly, looking down.

--Before peeling the shells out of hard-boiled eggs--

"Oh, I...I'm very sorry to hear that", Dan said to Kiki, after hearing their story, "That must have been awful, making you go through the rest of your life experiencing it, and scarring you."

"Shed...", Dan's Shedinja said, also very sad after hearing Kiki's story.

"If you ever need help, or feel lonely, you can always talk to me, okay?", Dan asked Kiki, trying to make them feel better.

"Shedinja!", Shedinja exclaimed as if to say And me, too!

(I'm trying to imply something about Kiki here. Is it too subtle?)
Afterwards, Kiki looked uneasy. "Sorry, that was... uncalled for." They looked at Laura apologetically. "I apologize, sometimes I tend to speak too much."

When Daniel mentioned "for the rest of your life," Kiki's eyes squinched together, as if they wanted to say something. They looked at Shedinja briefly, their eyes transfixed on its hollow, soulless eyes. "Oh yeah..." Kiki said distractedly.

They snapped out of their thoughts, looking up at Daniel. "O-oh! Heh..."

At Daniel's offer to help, Kiki smiled. "Aww, that's really sweet." they said. They elbowed Daniel in the ribs, as if making a joke. "But I'm fine, man, trust me." they reassured.

Then immediately, as if nothing had just happened, they turned immediately back to cooking. They looked at Kimmy, who was looking somewhat down. "Hey, you wanna come assist me with this cheese?" they piped. "I've got a lot of stuff to chop."
