Children of the Egyxos Fairy

Stella learns to dance

Upon arriving in Egyxos, I had decided to take Steven outside for a walk. I had waved to Anubi when I saw him on the balcony with Kefer and Exaton, and continued on our way. When we got to the cities borders, I asked for Steven to play with the twins while I talked with Horus and Neith.

Neith: What brings you here, Cleo?

Cleo: I need to talk with you and Horus

Horus: Someone say my name?

Cleo: Hello, Horus

Horus: Hey, Cleo. What brings you here?

Cleo: Just to talk

I explained the dreams I was having and how that was the result of what happened back on earth. As I continued to ramble on and on, they listened without interruption and stopped when I had realised they weren't speaking.

Cleo: Why aren't you saying anything?

Neith: Have you told Anubi about this?

Cleo: Most . . . of them

Neith: Cleo!

Cleo: You're right, I'll say something. Just . . . not yet.

Neith: He . . . needs . . . to . . . know

Cleo: Your awfully quiet, Horus. Is there a problem?

Horus: Why didn't you tell me?

Cleo: Huh?

Horus changed back into Anubi and I was both stunned and angry. I couldn't say a word to this and I couldn't move due to my feet suddenly felt like firmly planted trees.

Anubi: Why? Why didn't you tell me about these dreams?

Cleo: I didn't want to worry you!

Anubi: You made me worry anyway

Cleo: I'm . . . sorry, okay. Happy now?

Since Smoky was out of my body and couldn't read my mind, I had decided to think of how well he looked as a human boy.

Smoky: What are you thinking of?

June: Ah! Uh . . . nothing

Smoky: Right

'Why am I having these feelings?'

Smoky: Your heart is throbbing. Why is it?

June: Uh . . .

Smoky: You don't have a thing for me, do you?

June: Uh . . . no

Smoky: Ha, you so do!

June: Fine . . . I perhaps have a . . . small crush on you

He hugs me and I do the same back to him, then . . . he takes control of my body and thoughts rendering me useless.

Fusion: Time to get the show on the road

Upon arriving in Egyxos, I decided to visit the Grand Pyramid first to see what the gang was up to and see if they wanted to hang-out. When I arrived in the throne room, everyone was arguing with each other and I couldn't understand why.

Stella: What's going on here?

Everyone: Hey, Stella!

Stella: Should I even ask what you're arguing about?

Leo: We're just . . . having a civil disagreement

Cleo: I wouldn't call it civil, I'd rather call it a . . . setback

Stella: O...kay. Can we hang out today since I'm here?

Cleo: Sure thing and by the way, where's the dance system you made for me when I came back from the flu that one time?

Hyksos: In my lab

Cleo: Thank-you, Hyksos

Stella: What-

Cleo: You're going to love this, Stella

Stella: Okay then

Once everything had been set up by Cleo, she gave me something I didn't expect.

Stella: What's with the bracelets?

Cleo: Just put them on and get into a comfortable position

I did as she had asked of me and my figure appeared on the screen. I didn't quite understand it, so I had to ask Cleo my question.

Stella: What is all of this for, Cleo?

Cleo: We're going to be dancing and to start, we are doing an easy dance that you should be able to do.

Stella: What's with the numbers and your name on the screen?

Cleo: The numbers are the highest score, and my name is on there because I hold that high score

Stella: Cool!

Cleo: Try and beat me if you can

Stella: Challenge accepted

I got bored watching Steven, so I asked him if he wanted to see what his mother was up to. He accepted and when I found my wife, she and Stella were dancing on the dance system that was made for her several years ago.

Anubi: Still acting like a child, grow up

Cleo: Like you can say anything, you've lived for centuries and still look the same as when we first met

Steven: You've lived for centuries, I want to do the same

Anubi: Don't get your hopes up, Steven. You will most likely have a mortal life like the one your mother has

Steven: Aw man

Cleo: Don't worry, Steven. I still love you all the same and nothing will ever change that

Steven: I love you too, Mother

As Steven and I continued to watch Cleo and Stella dancing, the rest of our friends had come out to see them dancing. Ra had brought out some food and drinks out for us and the two women that were dancing.

Cleo and Stella: Thank-you, Ra!

Everyone else: Thank-you, Ra!

Ra: It's okay

The girls stopped their dancing and came to have some food and drinks. We talked for a while and the girls went back to their dancing afterwards. Their dancing was becoming more energetic and I think the rest of us were becoming tired just by watching them.

Anubi: How are you two dancing like this?

Cleo: Easy, energy

Stella: What she said
