Subject: TEEP chapter 36

Waking feeling slightly uncomfortable, Aaron found himself spooned behind
Andrew with his morning hard on pressed tight between Andrew's legs,
smirking slightly, he reached down and letting a finger touch Andrew between
his cheeks, he found he was not slick enough before reaching for the bottle
of lube and applying some to his hand and hard cock, after thrusting his
hips back so his cock slipped free of Andrew's legs. Inserting a lubed
finger Aaron quickly found that Andrew was still slightly relaxed and he
pressed the lubed head of his cock against the semi tight hole and applied a
little pressure, smiling when he was rewarded by the head slipping inside
with a pop, past the sphincter, he waited to see if Andrew would wake.

Slowly and steadily, Aaron slid all the way inside Andrew and started to
thrust in and out slowly as he reached around and brought Andrew closer to
him while he was thrusting in and out of the sleeping teen, it was not until
Aaron was shooting his load deep inside Andrew that Andrew reached his own
climax and woke up as he fired his load all over Tyler's belly. Hearing
Andrew groan, Aaron leaned around and kissed him good morning, all the while
still gently moving in and out to stay hard.

"Bloody disappointing," Andrew whispered, as he realized he slept through a
thorough shagging before his hands found Tyler's morning wood and the
solution. Grabbing the lube near the head of the bed, Andrew applied some to
his hand warming it up before liberally applying it to Tyler's morning wood.

Aaron, seeing what Andrew was doing, pulled all the way out so Andrew could
turn around, "Hold on until I get behind Tyler, I'll give you a hand."

Moving carefully over till he was behind Tyler, Aaron let one of his lube
slickened fingers find Tyler's hole and slip inside causing the teen to
groan out before falling back to sleep, removing his finger, he placed the
tip of his hard cock up against Tyler's hole and with his hand, bent Tyler's
cock and held it as Andrew slid back on the hard cock, his cheeks resting
against Tyler's pubes about the time the steady pressure from Aaron caused
him to slip inside Tyler.

Andrew, feeling Tyler inside him, started to rock his hips back and forth,
sliding up and down on his length which caused Aaron to sink further inside
Tyler.

Tyler was having this wonderful dream and moving his hand in his dream
state, he touched flesh and realized that the dream was not really a dream,
he really was shagging someone while being shagged, opening his eyes as the
pleasure hit him, he groaned out his pleasure and actively took over
thrusting in and out of Andrew and a few moments later he climaxed, shooting
his massive morning load deep inside Andrew. Moaning in pleasure, Tyler
started to thrust again after a minute when Aaron whispered in his ear,
"Don't stop, keep going."

Instinct took over as he felt his willie sliding in and out of the hot
tightness while at the same time he felt something hard and wonderful
brushing against that spot deep inside him that caused him to shiver in
pleasure every time it brushed against it. Andrew's groans of pleasure were
exciting, causing him to thrust harder and at the same time the harder he
thrust the more the hardness that was inside him moved.

Knowing Tyler was closer, Aaron sped up and adjusted the angle he was
thrusting at so he would hit Tyler's prostate every time and whispered in
Tyler's ear, "I'm close," a few moments before he felt Tyler's ass clamp
down hard on his cock sending him over the edge, causing him to pump his
seed deep inside Tyler while Tyler did the same to Andrew.

Feeling the enema like rush of Tyler Cumming inside him again, he grabbed
himself and with a couple of strokes went over the edge and mostly missed
his hand as he shot his load.

Snuggling back into Tyler so he would stay in him as long as possible, thus
deflating and letting his body keep as much of the seed inside him as
possible, Andrew lazily licked his cum covered hand as he floated along the
after sex bliss. Several minutes later, as he felt Tyler slip out of him and
he clamped down hard, he turned to see Aaron still thrusting in and out of
Tyler gently, reaching over the two as he sat up, he felt Aaron still rock
hard and grinned as he realized Tyler, in his half awake state was about to
get at least one more load.

Lying down so he was face to face with Tyler, he started to kiss him deeply
and with passion as his hands roamed about Tyler's body, causing him to moan
and Aaron to increase the pace.

Grinning as he felt Andrew's hand and then lifting his head watched as
Andrew started to kiss and fondle the half awake Tyler, Aaron started to
seriously thrust in and out, intent on load number three. Feeling a finger
at his ass, Aaron smiled when he saw Kevin lubing up his morning hardness
and lifted his leg making it easier for him to slide inside him and groaned
his own pleasure as he felt Kevin enter him and start to thrust in and out.

Tyler was not able to think, feeling the hardness slip in and out of him,
not really stopping after he felt the spurts deep inside him was sending
sensations to his brain and then the mouth capturing his, while hands woke
up his willie one more time as he responded and his own hands roamed around
the body in front of him.

Feeling Kevin swell up inside him, Aaron really started to drive in and out
of Tyler as he felt the tightening of his own ball sack and finally shot
another good sized load deep inside Tyler and pulling Andrew's head over top
of Tyler so he could kiss him and keep Tyler from climaxing, "Reaching
around at the groans of disappointment, Aaron whispered in Tyler's ear as he
held the very hard cock, "I'll take care of this in the shower in a minute."

Feeling Kevin slide out of him, Aaron glanced over his shoulder to see him
head for the shower and being careful to stay inside Tyler, Aaron maneuvered
them so he could first sit up with the teen still buried on his hardness and
then he stood up and slid in and out a couple of times to keep himself hard
to the pleased groans from Tyler before he pushed and led him to the shower,
succeeding in staying inside him the whole time.

Kevin grinned, seeing Aaron impaling Tyler leading him towards the shower
and lathering up his hands, he captured the red and hard piece of flesh
between Tyler's legs as soon as they came inside the shower and carefully
washed him thoroughly, being careful not to get him off as he knelt in front
of him and smirked at Andrew's awed face as he stood there watching Aaron
thrust in and out of Tyler while the water fell from above. Once he was sure
Tyler was good and clean, Kevin leaned forward and licked the drop of
pre-cum from the tip before swirling it around in his mouth and slowly
licking his way around the head of Tyler's cock head before doing his best
to swallow the whole thing in one go.

Tyler lost it once more and almost convulsed as he came for a third time in
such a short time, pumping his cum into Kevin's willing and waiting mouth,
the only thing keeping him standing was the fact he was still impaled on
Aaron's cock.

Amused, Aaron turned and as Kevin shared Tyler's offering with him, he
motioned for Andrew to come close and as Kevin helped hold Tyler up, as he
pulled out, Aaron turned so that he could grab onto Andrew and turn him
around, then he slowly slipped back inside Andrew to his intense loud moans
of pleasure and picked up thrusting in and out.

Kevin, moving Tyler to the corner seat, eased him in it, and once he as sure
he would stay in place without getting hurt, he picked up the soap and went
to Andrew to repeat the washing and swallowing he performed on Tyler minutes
before.

Andrew groaned and threw his head back hitting Aaron's neck as he felt
himself being attacked from both sides at once, an eager mouth was doing
things to him that sent shivers through him, and the hard cock was sliding
in and out of him from behind as it hit that spot twice on each stroke, both
coming in and pulling out. All too soon, he felt the hardness inside him
start to swell before he felt his own climax hit unexpectedly, filling
Kevin's eager mouth.

Aaron, spent for the moment, shared Andrew's offering and seeing that he was
still on his feet, reached down to fondle Kevin's hardness and slowly slip
out so Kevin could take his place; Holding on to Andrew as Kevin slid inside
him, Aaron kissed him passionately and ended up holding him up as Kevin
thrust in and out of him for several minutes until he too added to the cum
inside Andrew, totally spent and not able to stand, Aaron helped him over to
the seat and placed him next to Tyler and leaned Andrew on Tyler so they
both would stay upright before smiling and Kissing Kevin good morning while
the other two recuperated.

Finished washing each other, Aaron smirked at the two unfocused set of eyes
that were following them as he got closer and knelt down pulling a long
slender hose out from under the seat and opening the drain by sliding the
grid off the top of the hole so the water could flow down faster. Turning
the water on, Aaron made sure it was neither too hot or too cold as Kevin
hit the steam cycle and lubing the end, gently inserted it into Tyler first
and when he saw he was uncomfortable, pulled it out so all the water could
flow out and repeated until the water flowing out was clean and clear before
moving over to do the same to Andrew.

Once the two were clean and Aaron had the hose stowed away after cleaning up
under the seat, he slid the cover back over the drain and accepted the
bottle of soap from Kevin, and together they thoroughly washed both teens
before the cycle hit zero and the powerful jets cascaded around them,
rinsing them thoroughly. Extending the drying cycle until Tyler and Andrew
were dry, Aaron shut it off, and along with Kevin, helped them stand up and
walk out of the shower and out of his bedroom past a wide eyed Richard and a
smirking Edward as he had been where those two were, last weekend.

"Dear bloody God," Andrew moaned, as he was placed in a chair in the dining
hall, glancing up at Aaron's smiling face, he cursed, "You could bloody look
tired you know," before laying his head on his arms on top of the table and
glancing at Tyler across from him. "I've been thoroughly shagged and can't
move, how about you?" before falling asleep.

Richard, wide eyed in awe, stood next to his older cousin and looked up when
Edward laughed, "Been there, done that, but oh what a heavenly trip it was."

Glancing around at the milling Clan members, Aaron noticed Kenny was missing
and seeing the looks the other hunters were giving the med bay, he went over
to investigate. Walking into the med bay, Aaron heard Kenny chatting away as
he poked his head around the bend to see him sitting on a stool, talking to
Xon just like he did when it was his brother in the bio-tube, laying a hand
on Kenny's shoulder, "Hey Kenny, what's up?"

Glancing up at the clock, Kenny started to jump up but found Aaron's hand
keeping him on the stool and he looked over his shoulder, "Not much, I was
just talking with Xon, discussing whether he was a son or lover and how we
fit in with the Clan."

Smiling, Aaron let Kenny get up, "And what have you decided?"

"That he needs to be a lover as it is way too weird having someone as old as
he is as a son," Kenny explained, as they walked outside the med bay.

Laughing, Aaron motioned the rest of the hunters over and ported them to the
vet barn, "Well, I think we will have to wait until Xon wakes up and tells
us which he is more comfortable with...don't you?"

"I guess, though if he chooses son, it is going to be really weird," Kenny
called out, as he ran towards his hauler and the empty trays.

"He's right though, it would be very weird having someone so hot consider me
to be his father without all the fun going into producing him," Mark
commented, as he stepped aside as the excited crews showed up and ran to
Aaron for their morning hug. And picked up on the slightly down feeling from
young Rob, skimming, Aaron smiled and pathed John over on Altair, "John, how
is your crew when it comes to birthday cakes?"

"Dammit Aaron, if you cost me another cubit of gold I'll paddle your ass,"
John pathed back before putting the pan in the warmer. "Who's birthday?"

"One of the boys rescued of the Yin Kong, Robert Brown; he turns ten today
and he is a little bit down because no one knows and he is too shy to
mention it to anyone, he's on the farm crew. I picked up on it when he came
for his morning hug...and what the hell did you bet on this time, and why me?"
Aaron sounded cross at the end as he waved at Mark who had command chair
duty and went to inspect the poultry barn to see how the quail were doing.

"Hmm, birthday cakes will be a very good idea with these kids, going a long
way to get their self worth back, but you can't initiate it as the bet was
about you changing something for the beach party tonight, and I want that
cubit back. I'll talk to Tim and handle it and as far as you know, tonight
when Scott asks about it, you had nothing to do with it except to suggest to
the clan to get some small gifts or something so he has a present or three
to go with the cake," John placed another pan into the warmer after it was
passed to him, "Got to go, it's handled, just get gifts."

Pathing the whole Clan at once "Hey guys, Robert Brown, one of Kenny's crew,
well it's his tenth birthday today, and I think with the party tonight and
him being down, we need to get him a few small things so he has a present or
two, what do all of you think?" Aaron sent as he entered the poultry barn.

Mark, being logged on the terminal brought up Rob's file and noticed the
type of music and his placement tests and interests, "He likes boy bands it
looks like, and he placed high in science, and animal husbandry like that is
something we didn't know," he chuckled.

"We need to do this for all the rescued kids, no matter where we found them,
I'll set up some filters when we get back and pull up any birthdays for the
past two weeks and we can get them each a couple of CD's and a few books,
maybe even a gift card to be used online to Amazon," Kevin pathed as he was
filling water tanks.

"Get me a list and I can port over to the mall and pick up a bunch of CD'S
and a bunch of books after chores and before lunch," Tommy pathed, as he
stopped briefly to test the water on one of the tanks.

"I talked to Scott and he'll bake us a cake and several sheet cakes," Brian
added, and then he paused in picking the tomatoes, "I think if Rob is not
the only one having a birthday today to make him feel special, that we just
send the gifts to the other guy's rooms and we quietly tell them there is
something back there for them, seeing that they missed their birthday...oh and
I would only go back a week, unless they were captive during their birthday,
give them something to look forward to."

"Sounds like a plan, oh Kevin, maybe you can add a section to the terminal
that gives someone the option of finding out upcoming birthdays, so maybe
there will be more presents for those having a birthday besides from us,"
Aaron dropped the link, once they all agreed.

Arriving back at the Clan Hall, Andrew and Tyler had not moved, causing
Aaron to chuckle before he realized those two were supposed to be fixing
breakfast, sighing, he walked into the kitchen and quickly pulled some bacon
out of the refrigerator and started the griddle, breakfast would be a little
late this morning it looked like. Pulling things out of the freezer, Aaron
quickly went to dumping things on the griddle in an attempt to have a varied
breakfast and went to work.

Half an hour later the four volunteers finished setting the last pan into
the steam table and the two cooks were still asleep and no one was bothering
to wake them up for breakfast, they just kept glancing their way after Fred
ran his scanner over them to make sure they were alright and made the okay
sign with his thumb and finger before grinning and walking back to the
kitchen, "You wore their asses out, didn't you let them sleep at all last
night?"

Snickering, Kevin looked up, "That's all from this morning, Fred, they slept
all night long."

Shaking his head sadly, Fred looked at Richard with an evil glint in his
eyes, "It is a sad day indeed, I never knew that humans had so little
stamina, I mean it's not like they came a dozen times or so, you know enough
to even make them break a sweat," before walking out of the kitchen and
silently laughing at his joke and Richard's expression.

"That's just cruel, Love, funny but cruel," Pete sent after Fred, along with
his laughter at the joke.

Andrew and Tyler woke up several hours later with a start and sleepily went
into the kitchen to start breakfast, until Tyler looked up at the clock and
pointed to it, "Andrew, I think not only did we sleep through breakfast, but
that they let us."

"Damn," Andrew mumbled, as he glanced at the clock and saw it was after ten.

Opening the refrigerator, Tyler saw two plates filled with food, pulled them
out and reached back in for the jug of juice, "they must not have been too
mad, if they fixed us something to eat."

Aaron was staring down into the Bio-tube after helping Pete move all the
components to the work area in one of the empty assembly areas, so he could
build the duel transporter replicator he had spent the past hour going over
everything in the archive and he still had no clue who the teen was in the
bio-tube, the only thing he knew for sure after scanning the medallion was
that it was one of the version 1 time line medallions. He was standing here
waiting for the complete DNA map so he could go back to the core and at
least try to track down Xon's parents if possible. Glancing back up at the
monitor, he sighed as another sector was added to the map, it was not
happening fast enough to suit him right now.

"I thought I would find you in here," Tim's soft voice told him, as he kept
his voice down, startled Aaron as he stared at the screen.

"Hi love," Aaron said softly, as he moved away from the screen so he could
hug Tim, after the hug was over, they stood there for a moment arms around
each other.

"I take it you didn't find him in the archives? No, of course you didn't or
you would not be in here waiting for a genome map," Tim looked closely at
the screen and noticed that it had two hours more until it was finished.
"Come on, let's go sit in the hot springs for a while and let the system do
its thing, you standing here watching it is not going to make it go any
faster or get an answer since you have to take the results to the Core for
comparison." Tim pulled on Aaron's waist, nudging him towards the door and
the gardens in the Clan Hall.

Sitting back in his favorites spot next to the waterfall, letting the warm
to hot water cascade over his shoulders, he let out a sigh of relief as his
muscles started to unknot. "What is on your agenda after lunch?" Tim asked,
as he snuggled next to Aaron.

Opening his eyes and seeing Friedrich approaching, "Murdering security
guards sounds like a good idea...did you need me Friedrich, or just passing
through?" I hope it is the later he thought as Friedrich stopped by the edge
of the pool.

"While I would love to say I was not looking for you, I can't," seeing
Aaron's deep sigh, Friedrich chuckled, "but the good news is I am looking
for you for a personal reason, when are you opening the nursery?"

Blinking a couple of times, Aaron looked at Tim who was also clueless and
then back to Friedrich before finally giving up and asking, "What nursery?"

Sitting down on the edge of the pool; and letting his legs drop into the
warm water, Friedrich took a moment to decide how to best word his question,
"Colin and I have been talking and planning, and before we can go much
further with our plans for the future, we need to know when the nursery will
be open for use, so we can have a son."

The incubatory, Aaron thought, they wanted to have children; he smiled then
grinned widely before standing up and walking to the edge of the pool where
the steps were, and got out. Picking up one of the towels Aaron went to the
bench and pulled his P.A.D.D. from the pouch before turning it on and
linking it to the central systems, "Have the two of you decided on a name
yet?"

Glancing up at Tim's giggling, Aaron smiled again as he saw how flustered
Friedrich was, "The incubatory will be open for business on Monday, you just
need to read through the files I just released to the public system from
your terminal so you know what to expect and what needs to be done before
your afternoon of fun," coughing to hide his laugh, Aaron held the towel out
to Tim so they could see about lunch as it was almost time.

Placing a hand on Friedrich's shoulder as he stopped next to him, Aaron
smiled, "Relax Friedrich, there is nothing embarrassing or too hard to
understand, more of a list of things needing to be done before the event,
and a short one at that. Congratulations, by the way, I'm happy for both of
you, and think the whole thing will be inspiring for the whole kingdom."

"If you will excuse me, your Majesty, Colin and I have a file to read before
tomorrow," Friedrich kept the calm and collected attitude until he came to
the fork in the path and thought he was out of sight before he ran back
towards his lover sitting in their apartment.

"To answer your question, this afternoon I have a taste testing at Elswick
to chose the new caterers that will handle the cafeteria and I need to take
Andrew, Edward and Richard home in three hours or so, I was thinking Tyler
might like to come along, but other than trying to find out Xon's heritage
and how he even..." Aaron trailed off as he stopped and thought about what Xon
said in his message to the Kathat Ruling Council, preparing to port out he
stopped when Tim grabbed him.

"Oh no you don't, it can wait until after you eat Shoji's lunch; he fixed it
for you. And where did you think you were going, anyway?" Tim scolded as he
pulled Aaron towards the dining area.

"To the Core to replay the recordings of the first contact with Xon, he said
something that I really wasn't paying attention to at the time, and I wanted
to double check if what he said is what I thought he did, that and take a
look at the scans of the stabilizer he wore. Shame that it did not come
through the rift with him," Aaron sounded excited as he held the plate Tim
was filling as his mind was elsewhere.

Kevin looked around and sighed, not seeing any non Clan members around and
pathed, "What did you need conformation of; I watched the whole thing this
morning, so I could see what happened for myself."

Aaron sat down with his plate and started to eat and was secretly amused
that he could hold a complete conversation at the same time and not stop
eating, "Did he really say he had been with the Kathat people for two
hundred fifty years?"

Thinking about it, Kevin replayed the scene that he had watched an hour ago,
to all of them  after replaying the event, Pete who had joined in mentioned,
"you think he not only left the dimension which stabilized him from the
fading, but he went back in time to before the time line shift occurred."

"Yes I do, and it is because of the Shaolin that I think it is more than
possible, if the reset would have affected everyone, why then was Lee around
with almost pure  Alteran DNA, Clan Stranton markers included, so it stands
to reason that if the passage of time is a factor, the other one would be
being outside the dimension, so far outside, to where the shift, when it
occurred would not affect him and after two hundred fifty years, there was a
slight shift in his waveform by .01. Not much I know, but it seems to fit
the evidence," Aaron looked down and realized he was finished with his meal,
and did not remember eating it.

Seeing the four Brits walk into the dining area, they changed the subject to
something safer when Tyler and Andrew walked over, "We've talked and decided
to go ahead with the making of babies, now," Tyler grinned.

"It makes sense, that way Tyler can be altered and it makes it easier on us
to get back and forth to each other and here," Andrew grinned before looking
at Richard, "It would make even more sense to have two of us altered, for
travel purposes, if nothing else."

Aaron laughed before he noticed Kenny walking out of the med bay again, he
would check the logs later to find out if there was a problem, "Well I did
plan to talk to your grandmother when I dropped all of you off about Richard
joining us now, actually being picked up on Wednesday, so he would be
through the procedure by the weekend."

Giving Richard some time to bounce around being happy, Aaron grinned at the
expectant couple, "You two on the other hand come Friday night will be not
allowed to cum, so Saturday you can make babies, and that way come Sunday,
when it is time to leave, Tyler can undergo the resequencing." Laughing at
the two slapping each other's hands in celebration, he turned his head, as
they were leaving, at the movement of something bright red out of the corner
of his eye to see what had attracted his attention.

Mark was returning from the kitchen with one of the high energy drinks and
giving it to Damien who was once again wincing in pain. Removing his scanner
from the pouch, Aaron got up and went over to Damien and performed a quick
scan before kissing Damien's scowling face, "This is my second one this
morning, afternoon, whatever, it just hurts," Damien looked at Aaron.

"Come on, let's get you on one of the bio-beds and do a detailed scan,"
Aaron smiled as Damien looked at the group of Brits.

"What about them, if they happen to follow us they will see Xon, and I'm not
sure we are ready for them to see him yet," Damien whispered as he winced as
he stood up.

"Yes well, we'll chance it by porting into the med bay," Aaron helped Damien
over to the gestalt post and ported both of them out when he caught Edward
glancing their way. Once inside the med bay, Aaron patted the bio-bed, "hop
up here, lie back and relax, we'll find out what is going on for sure and
we'll find the best way to keep you from hurting."

Holding up the temple sensor so Damien could see it, Aaron asked as he
pulled the stool over and initiated the scan. "Do you want me to do
something about the pain now, or should I wait until you find out what is
causing it?"

Wiggling his body slightly so he was more comfortable Damien sighed as the
pain mostly went away, "I'll wait I think, unless it gets worse."

"Okay, but if you start feeling pain, let me know right away, there is no
reason for you to hurt anymore than necessary, which means the time it takes
to put on the sensor and set it to filter out pain," Aaron placed the sensor
back in the compartment on the cart, linked his communicator to the med bay
and played back the latest visit by Kenny, while asking Damien what he had
been up to this morning, to see if something he had done had triggered the
episode.

Determining that Kenny was just being Kenny and filling Xon in on the
happening of the Clan and the background of each of the Clan members, he
almost laughed, but it would be hard to explain to Damien who was probably a
little grouchy. Glancing back at the screen, Aaron reached over and hefted
the small ball sack between Damien's legs. He noticed right away Damien
becoming rock hard and then looked back up to the monitor, while Damien
opened one eye and glared at him for stopping.

Getting off the stool, Aaron went over to the small refrigerator off to one
side, pulled out the red donut box and brought it back to the bedside where
he handed one of them to the wide eyed Damien, "Go on have a bite, you'll
know when to stop."

Waiting until Damien took the first bite hesitantly, then smiled and enjoyed
the donut, Aaron explained what he found, "I am assuming that when you came
this morning, you shot liquid?" seeing the very pleased expression along
with the nod, "you've well and truly begun phase two of puberty, meaning
your body is growing at a rapid pace and external signs of puberty will be
starting shortly," pointing to the still hard cock between Damien's legs,
"Like that, touching your scrotum was enough to send the signal to your
brain for your toy to wake up. Now for the downsides of growing rapidly and
being Alteran, this growth spurt is happening faster than you can eat to
fuel it, so the pain is your body's way of telling you off."

Seeing Damien was finished with the donut, Aaron opened the box and offered
another which Damien took to the teen's shock at the hunger and desire he
felt towards the obscenely high calorie food item, laughing, Aaron set the
box down as Damien bit into the donut, "Well, starting tomorrow, since you
have already had today's, I want you to start eating at least one if not
more of these donuts, to replace what your body needs  as it goes through
the growth spurt, you might also want to take a trip to the hot springs
several times a day when you feel achy, it will help relax your muscles."

Holding the last two bites of the donut Damien glared at it like it was at
fault that he no longer could eat anymore of it, where once it was the
tastiest thing he could think of, now just holding it made him feel bloated.

Laughing, Aaron plucked the last bit of the donut from Damien's fingers,
popped it in his mouth, and seeing that Damien was truly finished, he placed
the box in Damien's hands "Eat lunch then one or more of these, until you
feel full, I think you will not have as many episodes where you hurt, but
you will still be ache from time to time, so the hot springs is where you
need to go when that happens. Why don't you take this to the kitchen
refrigerator since it's been opened and take your pack of hunters for a long
soak."

Feeling a lot better, Damien sat up then pulled Aaron down and kissed him,
as he released him he looked him in the eye, "When can I get this inside
me," he asked, as he grabbed Aaron's semi hard cock.

Kissing Damien back, Aaron smiled, "The day after you have finished your
breakout, you decide where and how you want this to happen and I will do my
best to make that day special for you," Aaron swatted Damien's behind, "now
scoot, off to the hot springs with you."

Sticking his head around the bend after Damien had left, Aaron made his way
to the bio-tube and noticed the scan was complete, popping the chip, he held
onto it as he left the med bay and laughed at everyone's expression as they
asked Damien what was up with the red container, at first they were worried
that he was eating them and were shocked to find out that Damien had eaten
almost two of them, on top of lunch and two of the energy drinks. Smirking,
as the Clan was treating the event like the start of a rite of passage,
Aaron ported to the Core entry with the chip and waited impatiently for the
system to scan him and allow him entry.

Fred looked around the entry to the Core, this was the first time he had
come down here by himself, not remarkable really he decided. The door
sliding open, Fred walked into the core and over to the recliner that Aaron
was laying on and looked up at the ceiling where three sets of DNA maps were
displayed, "I think the Brits are ready to go back to England, are you
okay?"

Startled, Aaron smiled as he sat up and disengaged the search with a
thought, "I'm fine, I finally took the time to go through what was left from
my previous version's memories and dealt with them."

Sitting on the recliner with Aaron, Fred scooted close and leaned his head
against Aaron and then moved into a snuggle when Aaron put his arm around
his shoulder and pulled him close, "Well, I doubt I ever will have a name
but I found out who Xon's fathers were."

"Really, that's great" Fred looked up in surprise to see the bottom of
Aaron's chin until Aaron looked back down at him, grinning.

"Yep, both of his fathers are not Alteran's in this time line, and from what
records in the archives I've read, they are unlikely to become Alteran in
this timeline," Aaron sighed, "now the question is, what to do with this
information, no, Xon deserves to at least know who is parents were, and that
the people in this timeline are not the same people, not even genetically as
they are unaltered humans, this go around."

"Unaltered so far, you mean," Fred sat back up, "You know, I think I am
going to be waiting in your bed tonight for you to get home, so don't take
forever when you drop those three off."

Laughing, Aaron stood up and leaned down and kissed Fred, "Is that you're so
unsubtle way of saying get your ass moving?"

Fred smirked as he moved his hands out of his lap and started to stroke his
hard cock, "Oh yes and a reminder that this is what is waiting for you once
you get back," Fred stroked it a couple more times, enough to get a small
drop to form at the tip which he used a finger to pick up and seductively
lick off before bouncing up and heading for the door, "Only if you get a
move on and don't make me wait too long."

Damn Aaron thought as he watched Fred go through the door before following,
this was going to be the shortest trip in history, if he had his way. Not
hearing the door slide closed behind him Aaron, ported to the Clan Hall and
quickly searched with his eyes for the four Brits and seeing them, along
with his clothes near the entry to the house, he quickly rushed over and
started to get dressed.

Once dressed, he looked at the four Brits and smiled, "First things first, a
stop in Elswick where we can see that the hopefuls for the catering contract
came up with and then I will drop the three of you at the palace," glancing
coyly at Andrew and Tyler, "I expect to chat with your grandmother for half
an hour or so, that should give the two of you time for a quickie," Aaron
laughed at their blush before pulling them both in for a hug.

Arm across both of the teens shoulders Aaron half led half dragged them
along to the gestalt column, and placing a hand on the gestalt, pulled power
from the generator and waited for Richard and Edward to grab hold so he
could port them to the Asclepius.

Straightening his clothes out, Edward frowned after they arrived, "It is way
too easy to become use to going naked all the time, clothing feels strange
after several days of not wearing anything."

"You think we can find some part of the palace that can be a no clothing
zone, maybe install a pool and hot tub so we can hang out there and just be
ourselves," Andrew was thinking about maybe setting up a room there, but the
problem would be he would miss sunshine as the bloody media were ruthless.

"I may be able to help you out there, Andrew, but not at the palace, chose
one of the country estates and I'll install a shield and a couple of masking
generators so you can be safe from the media, the only thing you will have
to figure out, is how to get Edward back and forth to school," Aaron told
them as they walked down the corridor towards the triage deck, the dock and
the road leading up to the old hospital turned embassy and boarding house.

Stopping to one side of the old hospital, Aaron was pleased at the progress
on the new hospital building, the skeletal structure for the whole left side
was almost complete and they could see workers policing the site, cleaning
it up, it looked like.

"Bloody Hell, they have really pushed, haven't they?" Edward swore as he
looked around and saw how much had been completed since Friday, the last
time they had been near the place.

"The true question, Your Majesties, is when are the building materials being
used here going to be released to the rest of the world," the site foreman
asked, walking up along with the company owner and several union reps who
had been touring the site.

"The concrete additive alone will make you a fortune that you can use
towards subsidizing the hospitals," the company owner told them, not holding
out his dirty hand, afraid he would insult them by getting their hands
dirty.

Aaron looked at the men and shrugged, "Never gave it much thought to tell
the truth, I suppose we could give it a try with the additive," he titled
his head as he skimmed their surface thoughts, "Tell you what, when you meet
with Derrick this coming Friday for the update meeting and walkthrough, ask
him about it, I'll have a definitive answer by then and he can pass it
along."

"Please do Your Majesty, we've already started to receive calls inquiring
about the additive and costs," the company owner told them, as he waved them
away not wanting to take any more time than he had to, as evidently they
were busy people, after all, important people were always busy, all you had
to do was watch the prince and see how he was always bouncing all over the
country, talking to people trying to get them to provide services to their
new allies.

Eaton stood in the doorway looking out at the grounds, and spotted his
Majesty walking towards them, bringing his radio to his mouth he clicked it
"His majesty is arriving a few minutes early, I can only delay him at most
two minutes, so be ready," he pocketed the small radio after warning the two
contestants.

"Damn their hot," the younger man whispered, as he shook himself, like a dog
wet after a bath.

Eaton laughed, "Baby brother, that there is a one way ticket to a death
sentence, look but don't touch."

Once the doors whooshed open, Eaton stepped forward, "Greetings your
Majesty...Majesties," he corrected once all three princes had entered the
building. "I would like to introduce you to my baby brother Dickie, he's an
interior designer," leaning forward as he watched his brother, Eaton
whispered too loudly, "A fancy title for someone who charges too much to
paint a room if you ask me."

"Ye just be ignoring this brute your Majesty," Dickie smacked his brother
upside his head since he was laughing too hard to duck. "Nice to meet you,
your Majesty," Dickie shook Aaron's hand before glaring at his brother,
"When you have a spare moment, if you would stop by the first three rooms on
the second floor by the cafeteria stairs, I have set up three different
rooms as samples for you to choose from, I heard about Matilda," Dickie
shook his head as he moved back out of the way, "and I apologize for my
profession. How that woman ever got to be licensed is beyond me."

"If there is time, I will do so today if not, someone will, within the next
couple of days," Aaron smiled at him as he started towards the cafeteria.

"I must warn you, your Majesty we did try, even went so far as to place a
plea on the BBC and only had two people respond with a firm yes, most when
the saw the contract, wanted no part of the whole thing," Eaton apologized
as he hurried to catch up.

"Why is that, Mr. Mayer?" Edward asked, it had been his experience that
everyone he had talked to jumped at the chance to bid on an Alteran
contract.

"It was line seven and nineteen that most did not like," Eaton shrugged, not
seeing how that could be a bad thing.

Aaron stopped outside the cafeteria doors, "Are you telling me that they did
not like the fact everything had to be prepared fresh and that we would
provide the ingredients and all they were providing was the staff and they
were being paid by the head?"

"Incredible," Aaron muttered, as he entered the cafeteria and saw two
separate areas set up, one was like the dining room of a nice restaurant,
and the other reminded him of a pub.

Eaten stopped near the front of the cafeteria between the two people
competing, and was nervous as his Majesty glanced between the two areas, he
was not letting his face show what he thought and it made it harder to read
whether he was pleased or not.

Edward leaned in close to Aaron, "That is the pub owner where we stopped
with Pete and Tim to have lunch, the other is the head chef for the
restaurant we had lunch at," he whispered.

Aaron walked over to the pub area and glanced around to see how the section
was decorated; chuckling at the papers taped to the wall, telling him what
would hang there. Nodding his head he walked over to the other side and
walked around the area set up like an upper class restaurant and nodded.
Glancing at the chef out of the corner of his eye, "Are you planning on
turning this place into a four star restaurant?"

"Of course not, your majesty, I plan on the minimum of five stars," Han's
beamed as he straightened up.

"As you're still plating I'll start over there, giving you the extra time to
get it right," Aaron smiled, as he pushed the four over to the pub side.

Smiling at the nervous barkeep, Aaron pointed to the table, "Go on, just
remember in a tasting like this, you are trying to stay around one to two
bites before moving to the next item," everything looked good and smelled
tasty. He already knew the caliber of the food that the chef was preparing
over on the other side of the room, so if this was just as good, he would
make things easy on himself.

Chuckling as the four teens huddled around the end of the table, glancing
around trying to figure out what to do, Aaron decided that in the future,
Edward might end up in a similar situation so he started to hold a class,
"Alright..." he startled them by saying from right behind them, "The trick
with a tasting is first look at how the table is arranged, in this case,
both set up small areas as to what they envisioned the space to look like,"
Aaron pointed around the room. "The second thing is in a tasting like this,
where the contestants are vying for a contract or job, they will prepare two
complete samples of the same dish, the one in the back is always the size
that would normally be served while the one in front is oversized so
everyone can sample it, you'll know which is which by the fact of all the
utensils next to the plate or like the sandwich over there being cut up into
small segments, held together by a pick," Aaron pointed to the sandwich near
the end of the table.

"Your Grandmother has staff that does this, Edward; though I personally
would never pawn that job off to another, if I were hosting the party, it
would look bad on me not the taster that vetted the caterer." Aaron warned
him of the possible shortcomings of relying on others.

"The last thing you need to notice on the table is the empty plate next to
the entrée to be sampled, this is where you place the utensil you used
before moving to the next dish," Aaron tapped the empty plate, "Also Edward,
never ever hire anyone to provide food for an event or contract that is not
willing to go to the trouble of a tasting. This was line nineteen that most
people did not like and refused to participate for this contract over, the
only way to know which category the applicant fits into is by tasting their
work." Picking up a fork Aaron started the line and worked down the row of
food.

Stopping at the soup dish Aaron placed the empty spoon on the plate and
thought about what he tasted before picking up another spoon and spooning up
a small amount and first sniffed it before looking at it then tasting it
again, nodding his head at his answer he moved on to the next item.

"Was there a problem your majesty, with the soup, I mean?" the nervous
barkeep asked as he noticed that he tasted it twice after sniffing it the
second time.

"Marjoram, fresh ground with pepper with a pestle to release the juice and
obliterate the leaves so it cannot be seen," Aaron laughed at he shocked
look on the barkeep's face as he stopped at the end of the line and sampled
a small desert.

Hans hovering near the start of his line heard what the god of cooking said
and took in the look on his competition's face and quickly ran back to his
area to make sure the plates were perfect.

Tyler, bringing up the rear, finished with the desert and looked at Aaron,
"It's all quite good, how do you choose between people like this?"

"Sometimes you can't, so you give the contract to your first choice and the
next one to your second choice, though, in some cases, after going through
the taste test you groan and reach for the stomach soother and curse the
chefs," Aaron hid his laugh at the almost stroke the chef was having as he
heard what he said.

"Hey, this fish dish has salsa," Edward pointed out, before picking up the
fork and tasting the salsa and fish and smiling, tasting the salsa alone he
tilted his head and looked at it questioning, "It's good and pretty close,
but I like yours better," Edward said, as he went on to the next dish.

Hans was having a heart attack, or at least he thought he was with the heavy
feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Smiling to keep from laughing, Aaron took a taste of the salsa, then added
it to the fish and looked at the chef, "In ten years of people trying to
recreate from taste, my recipe, you have gotten the closest to recreating
the recipe, while not up to the quality of mine, it does go with the fish
very well and will be a hit, just remember, like all fruit salsa's, it will
change its flavors after chilling twenty four hours before serving."

Hans looked shocked, he never considered a wait time before serving and he
groaned out in pain after realizing his whole experiment on recreating the
condiment was flawed from the start.

Finished, Aaron stood in the middle of the room waiting for the other four
to step over, and Tyler spoke for all four of them, "Bloody Hell and you're
supposed to chose one over the other, how do you do it?"

"In most cases, it is very easy, there is a clear and definite winner,"
Aaron kept his voice low, "In this case, I think having both open up here
will be the best of both worlds, those that can never afford a meal like
that one," Aaron pointed to the left side of the room, "Can enjoy something
they only dream of, while those wanting comfort food can have it with the
pub food," Aaron pointed the right side of the room so both would not feel
they were being picked on. Laughing, Aaron thought, what the hell, they both
feel picked on right now, "Let's put them out of their misery before we have
to cart the chef to the Asclepius for treatment, shall we."

Waving the two men over, Aaron laughed at their hopeful and frightened
expressions, "Relax you two, I take it you've not participated in a tasting
like this before?" when both men shook their heads violently no, Aaron
became all business, "Okay, I'm not going to leave either of you hanging, I
was impressed with both of you and have altered my plans, you both will have
a contract to provide food as I think both of your ideas will cover all
angles."

"We have good old comfort food on the one hand," Aaron pointed to the
barkeep and then to the chef, "Along with fine dining." Facing the chef he
waved his arm around the cafeteria, "get with Derrick on Friday when he
stops by for a site update and let him know your plans for this space so
we'll have a chance to get them done, I know that only gives you four and
half days to get yourself together, but I would like this place open in a
fortnight."

Facing the barkeep, Aaron smiled, "On the other side of the stairs right
there," Aaron pointed out the door behind them, "Is the old gift ship and
commissary, it's about half the size of the cafeteria and would make a
perfect pub. Go ahead and do what you did here, tape notes to the walls for
colors and such, even the floor if you want, and get with Derrick Friday to
give him your plans so he can schedule it to be done."

Holding up his hand to get their attention, "The only thing not mentioned
and not shown on the tables," Aaron looked at his four tasters, "Was
alcohol, wine or lager. In the packets that were provided, it was made clear
that no alcohol was to be served, remember Edward, if the dinner party you
are hosting is going to serve alcohol, it needs to be on those tasting
tables and you will sip the wine or drink and do not swallow, spit it out in
the container provided, usually a dark non see through glass which will be
provided, for you to carry with you."

Seeing the understanding on Edward's face, Aaron turned back to the two
jubilant men, "I will not provide alcohol as part of the treatment plans
like the meals for the family, if they want a pint or a glass, they have to
pay for it themselves, though remind everyone that we have very severe
penalties for drunks if they look like they might want to go on a bender."

"Congratulations gentlemen, Now I have one more stop before leaving, if you
need anything before Derrick shows up on Friday, talk to the guards, they
can get a message to one of us," Aaron shook both of their hands before
waving and turning then heading for the stairs. And taking them two at a
time to get to the top faster, opening the door, he entered the hall and
poked his head into the first room and walking to the next one and repeating
the quick look as he pulled his P.A.D.D. out of its pouch and looked through
the plans as he walked into the third room where Dickie was waiting, talking
to his big brother and a set of floor plans spread out on the tables.
Picking up a typed copy of the proposal, Aaron opened the contract file and
pulled up the one for furnishing the space and smoothly flipped his P.A.D.D.
around and pointed to the sensor pad, "I assume you are familiar with the
pre-contract, or you would not have known to set up three rooms, correct?"

Dickie nodded, taken aback at how quickly his majesty got down to business,
"Yes, Eaton gave me a copy, it's what I based my proposal on."

"Room one, the hideous one with the greens and reds," Aaron grinned at the
fake pout, "No way, it's off the list, though the idea of the day bed is a
good one."

"You spent all of two seconds glancing in that room; how the bloody hell do
you know what the furniture was?" Tyler asked, as he looked down at the list
and saw Aaron was right.

"If you go back and look, you'll see the skirt around the one post was not
perfect and is bunched up, hence it more than likely is a day bed," Aaron
laughed, as Tyler walked out of the room. "The second room and this one are
acceptable, today's the second, can you have this wing done and furnished by
the fourteenth? If so, place you finger against the sensor pad for your DNA
to be scanned and pick up the contract at the Asclepius triage desk along
with a draft for the down payment."

Eagerly, Dickie lunged across the table and placed his finger on the pad
before his majesty could change his mind, grinning, he sat back down, "Thank
you, your Majesty, I'll have it done if I have to whip and chain the lads
personally."

Standing up as Tyler came back into the room shaking his head, Aaron laughed
as he held out an arm for the group to hold onto, "Sounds kinky," he smirked
as he ported them to the palace leaving behind two very shocked men, one of
them very happy but still shocked.

Pulling Tyler into a hug once they appeared in the family section of the
palace, Aaron whispered in his ear, "You have half an hour starting now,
lover boy," swatting him on the ass.  Tyler giggled as he followed Andrew
down the hall towards the bedrooms.

Following Edward into the family Room that Thomas was standing outside of,
Aaron greeted Victoria as he entered the room and sat down on the couch,
"Good afternoon, Victoria how was your weekend so far?"

"Quiet, and that is a good thing," Victoria smiled, "how was yours?"

Laughing, Aaron sat back in the couch, "Too eventful really, but hopefully
once I get back, I can lounge back and rest at the party tonight."

Victoria smiled as she looked around the room at Richard and Edward before
asking her oldest grandson, "Where's Andrew?"

"Ah, yes well, he and Tyler are working out the final details of your great
grandson I believe," Aaron held his smirk in and smiled in its place while
Richard and Edward snickered. "Shush you," he laughed.

"This is wonderful news, are they discussing a date then?" Victoria smiled,
as she looked out the door and turned back when she heard snickers from her
other two grandsons again.

"Oh the date is next weekend, though the birth will be held back until they
are a little older, they decided that Tyler would begin having the
procedures done to alter his DNA so he could more readily come and go, to
here actually, so he can be with Andrew," Aaron mostly closed his eyes as he
told her this before glancing Richard's way and when Victoria followed his
gaze she nodded.

"It's time then, have you come up with a cover story that will hold up, I
rather thought for Andrew later on, we could marry him to your clan
privately and the public would only know he married into your family, not
how," Victoria gazed at Richard, "I find that I will miss you once you do
this, Richard."

"Why? Grandmother?  It gives me the best of both worlds, and like Tyler, I
can come and go as I wish, so you would not miss me that much," Richard was
curious as he got up from his chair and went to the loveseat his grandmother
was sitting on.

Hugging her grandson, "I never gave that a thought, though it makes sense,
your grandfather and I would have missed you so much," Victoria smiled as
she let Richard go and looked at Aaron, "So, when does Richard have this
done."

"Wednesday night, and that will give him the weekend with his cousins when
they come to visit before he starts his training, by the time school starts,
he should be traveling back and forth easily on his own I would imagine,"
Aaron smiled at Richard. "I do think I have the solution to your problem,
and it gives the background necessary for Andrew in the future, marrying
into my family for the media. Richard and Andrew will be accepted into
boarding school on Altare at our academy, while Edward is the first to
enroll at a satellite school here in Britain, as his duties do not allow him
to be gone out of country for extended periods. This will give the necessary
background to Andrew for your future announcement of him marrying into my
family and at the same time Richard can very easily get back and forth along
with Andrew for any outing or media event they would be needed for."

Grinning, Aaron looked at Andrew, "Let the media extol the virtue of our
school system going year round with occasional breaks as one of the excuses
for those two not being publicly available and at the same time any time
they are seen out and about, it will be with members of the Clan who will
always point out that the Clan has duties and as they only go half days to
school, there is nothing wrong with them being out an about," Aaron smirked
at the thought of his loves crucifying any reporters stupid enough to
question them.

Thomas groaned and leaned heavily against the wall, thinking similar
thoughts, "I will make sure to use vacation days on the times Pete is out
and about around reporters," he visibly shuddered.

Aaron laughed hard enough to hold his side as he tried to control himself,
"Thomas..." Aaron leaned forward towards Victoria as if sharing a secret,
"Imagine a man at his advanced age never having THE TALK," Aaron's giggles
turned into laughter again and became uncontrolled when Edward got out.

"I never imagined that Thomas would ever get drunk like he did after having
THE TALK, look at him now, he looks like a beet," Edward laughed along with
the rest.

Tyler and Andrew walking into the room slightly flushed, glanced around at
the mortified expression on Thomas's face and the laughter on everyone
else's, "Oh, they must be having THE TALK conversation," Tyler quipped, as
he sat next to Aaron, smirking.

"Oh dear Lord, that happened at a secure facility and it was taped wasn't
it?" Thomas slid down the wall as Andrew nodded through the laughter.

"Well on that happy note, Tyler and I will be going, Richard, I or Kevin,
more likely, will be here Wednesday night before supper to pick you up.
Edward, homework for the week is to outline the creation of a company, you
can use the additive to the concrete for an example, you need to work on
distributions chains, local and continental. This is an outline I want you
to come up with, of everything that would be involved in this mythical
company, from order taking to distribution." Aaron grinned at the confused
nod that turned into realization before glancing at Andrew.

"Please, anything but diplomats," Andrew groaned at the evil smile on
Aaron's face.

"I think you will find this one more to your liking and in the realm of
science fiction for some people, including academia, sadly." Aaron looked at
him as if he could convey the news about the Reliant to him through his eyes
alone. "You are setting up a search vessel to go to a newly discovered world
that has life on it, I want you to set up a team of specialists, by skills
and tell me why you chose those people and professions, and what they would
accomplish in the determination of whether a colony could be set up on this
new world."

Andrew looked at Aaron strangely as he thought about the scenario, he knew
Aaron did not do things like this by chance if he said...Andrew sat bolt
upright in his chair and looked at Aaron, really looked, "To do this right,
it is going to take more than five days, it's going to take me that long
just to research the professions available and how they overlap with each
other. I suppose querying the terminal is out of the question."

"Correct in one, on that, as far as needing more time, you just passed part
one of the test, never assume you can do something on this scale in a couple
of days...you're learning," Aaron smiled, "Even if it is only how I do things
in multiple layers."

Standing up, Aaron held out his hand for Tyler to take and as both of them
gave a farewell wave, Aaron ported them to the Clan Hall where Tyler started
stripping as fast as he could and sighed once he was naked, "There, much
better now."

Glancing at the clock, Aaron started to strip as Kevin and Kenny came out of
the med bay, "I hope you are hungry as we'll be heading to the beach in a
few minutes for the birthday cookout."

An hour later Aaron was holding onto a crying newly christened ten year old
after he blew out his candles on his birthday cake and saw the pile of gifts
that his clan  and some of the other Alteran's brought over to pile in front
of him.

Rob was ecstatic; he was given a birthday cake by those that he thought
never even knew what today was, not only that, but he got gifts to, jumping
up in the King's arms, he hugged him real tight and whispered in his ear,
"Thank you," before kissing his cheek and sliding down to look at the pile
of gifts and then the crowd of singing people, "Thank you, this means a lot
to me, to know that my new real family cares enough to give me a birthday
party means everything to me."

Aaron made his way to the back of the crowd where Joe and Chris were
standing, "This is what it is all about, you know," Aaron pointed at the
happy and beaming ten year old, "Have your people go ahead with the
investigation and you have the go ahead to deploy the sub fighters per your
plan."

Joe and Chris slipped away from the party to get a head start on their
plans, leaving Aaron standing there alone for a while until Rob came over to
hug him.

"Thank you for the present, yours was the neatest of all," Rob told Aaron's
stomach, much to his amusement.

"You're welcome, happy birthday, Rob, may you have many more just as
wonderful," Aaron leaned over and kissed the top of his head before he
grinned and ran back for more cake.

Handing Aaron a large slice of cake, Chris watched the birthday boy run back
to his friends, "What did you get him that has him so excited?"

"A piano," Aaron tasted the chocolate cake and smiled, "Well, an electric
keyboard and headphones actually, we're going to have to find a music coach
soon, both vocal and instrumental. One who will be very good with kids, I
think I should ask the Shaolin to see if any of their order has the skills
needed or knows of someone, spread the word among everyone else about the
need for a teacher, maybe we can find one quickly."

Aaron stood pretty much in the same spot the rest of the night, so all the
youngsters knew where he was, as each group got ready to go back to the city
they came over for a hug, word of the hugs he had started to comfort those
working the farms had spread, and each and every one of the two hundred and
thirty nine boys and teens rescued wanted a hug before they went home which
he gladly gave. Soon it was only the Clan left, as Aaron stared into the
night sky, "Let's go home; it's going to be a rough morning tomorrow and an
even rougher one Tuesday," Aaron looked back as the Clan waited for him to
finish.

Seeing that everyone was paired up that needed a ride back; Aaron nodded,
smiled and ported back to the Clan Hall a second before everyone else did.
Fred smiled as he walked over and grabbed Aaron, then looked at Mark over
his shoulder and winked, causing Mark to grab Brian and Tommy and follow
Fred who was dragging a chuckling Aaron towards the house and the bedroom.
