Sorry for the late update, I've had a serious case of Writers block. This part is dedicated to Starloverrebel who gave me the idea of a family moment.

Ever since Ezra had become tame, everyone was a lot more comfortable around him.
He had said more than once he was bored, Kanan didn't blame him. He was fifteen, a wild animal, and was always full of energy.
Kanan would have gone nuts if he was in his Padawan's​ position. Anyone would.
Ezra was taking it surprisingly well.
Normally he slept and paced in his room.
Occasionally, the Ghost crew would come in to see him jumping on his bed or off the was in a way to amuse himself.
They could tell he needed some time away from the blandness of his cabin.

Ezra looked up from nawing on a bone Hera had given him when he heard the door hiss.
"Hey Kanan" he greeted pushing his toy aside.
"But early for dinner isn't it?"
"Yep. It's not time for eating though. Come on."
Ezra gave his Master a confused look.
"Come where?" He asked.
"Out to the common room" Kanan replied.
"Kanan, do you really think it's safe?" Ezra quizzed with a nervous expression.
"Kid, your chewing on a bone that's four days old. You've been going bonkers in here. Don't you think it's time to forget what you are at the moment and be with us?"
Ezra looked at the floor, shirt tail thumping on the ground in thought.
"Alright. But of I should any sign of savageness, get me back in here ASAP. Understood?"
Kanan nodded and Ezra almost teleported out the door.
Kanan chuckled and followed his excited Padawan down the hall.

Hera, Zeb, Sabine, Rex, Chopper, and Ahsoka looked up as the door opened.
Kanan came in with Ezra padding behind.
"Hey kid. How you feeling?" Zeb asked.
"Like a wild animal" Ezra replied coming forward.
He jumped up and sat beside Ahsoka. Kanan seated himself next to his Padawan.
"So, what have I missed?" Ezra asked.
"Not much. We attacked an Imperial ship. About thirty or more Wookies are free" Sabine told him.
Ezra nodded.
"Have you found an antidote for this yet?" Ezra asked.
They all shook those heads sadly.
"We've tried everything we could Ezra. We just can't find anything to help you" Hera said sadly.
Ezra's ears drooped and he slammed his head against the table.
"Karabast" he swore.
"Hey kid. I know what will make you feel better" Kanan said.
Ezra raised his head.
"What?"
Kanan reached out and scratched around his neck.
"Kanan..." Ezra began but didn't finish.
His ears pricked up again and he nuzzled into Kanan's hand.
The others watched in surprise as Kanan continued his scratching.
He hit the boy's sweet spot.
As soon as Kanan's fingers made contact with Ezra's chin, the boy let out a deep purr and closed his eyes.
"Did I hear Ezra right?" Sabine asked, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"Did the kid just purr?" Zeb asked with amusement.
"Kanan, how'd you know about this?" Hera asked smiling at Ezra's antics.
"A few days ago. He seemed to like it."
Kanan smiled at the rumbly purrs his Padawan was still making.
Ahsoka watched the two with pleasure.
"I remember studying Fyrnocks in the Archives. Apparently they have a particular spot,"
She put a hand on his back.
"If they're scratched there,"
She positioned her nails.
"They go helpless and floppy."
She scratched round Ezra's shoulders and spine.
Ezra's head lolled to the side and a dopey smile was on his face.
He flopped to the seat, purring loudly.
Everyone burst out laughing.
The kid closed his eyes in bliss, enjoying the feeling.
Kanan watched him with a mixture of love and concern. Sure he was tame, being himself, but what if he never did get back to his normal self.
What if he was stuck as a Fyrnock forever?
Ahsoka stopped her movements on Ezra and the boy got up.
He shook himself and lay down, resting his head on Kanan's knee.
"What places have you checked for an antidote?" He asked.
"The holonet, planets, allies, everything we could think of. Nothing was found, I'm sorry Ezra" Rex said patting the teens head.
"Perfect" he growled.
The others looked at one another sadly.
"Hey Zeb?" Ezra asked lifting his head to look at the Lasat.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"If you want, I can move into the Phantom and you get your room back. It was yours​ to begin with."
"I get our room back" Zeb corrected him.
"Listen kid, I really don't mind staying in the Phantom. Plus, I don't fancy staying in a cabin where everything is destroyed. I'm fine where I am."
Ezra gave him a grateful smile.
"Thanks Zeb."
Zeb nodded.
Ezra yawned, showing sharp fangs lining his gums.
He shook his head again and stretched.
"Tired already kid?" Sabine asked.
"Eh, not really. I'm just a little depressed that's all. I don't want to be stuck like this forever..."
Suddenly, an incoming transmission beeped on the Dejark table.
Ezra snarled in surprise, leaping off the couch, he got into a ready position to kill.
He then realised what was making the sound and backed down.
"High strung, aren't you Ezra?" Hera asked before pressing the button.

"This is Fulcrum.
I bring urgent news concerning Spector Six's problem.
Their is a special herb called a Sphinxa that can change him back. But it will take a while for the effects to work. The longest a week.
They're located on Alderaan.
Good luck.

Fulcrum out."

The transmission ended.
Ezra back flipped and gave a a small roar of happiness.
"Did you guys hear that?!" He exclaimed excitedly.
"Every word Ezra!" Kanan laughed at the boy's antics.
"Settle down kid" Rex laughed as Ezra leapt at the walls and sprung off them.
"I'll set coordinates for Alderaan" Hera smiled.
She ruffled Ezra's head as she went past into the cockpit.
Ezra looked back at the others with a grin.
"Jeez Ezra!" Ahsoka laughed.
"By the way you are acting, looks like you've found out the answer on how to destroy the Empire!"
"Well that would be nice too, but guys I'm turning back into a human! Did you hear?! I could...!"
Kanan scratched Ezra's spine making the kid flop to the ground.
"Dam you Kanan" he growled.
"You need to chill kid" Kanan replied grinning.
Ezra rolled his eyes with a playful smile.

At least they weren't treating him like a demented animal.
Suggestions on what to do next is needed!
Please give me any ideas you have!
