The first movie was a general family favorite by now; Armageddon. They all knew it, even Libby and Izzy, so there was mostly talking and eating.

Liam: Do you ever talk? They looked at Izzy who looked back at the older dragon and nodded. Like most times they visited it was Libby that did all the talking while Izzy mostly kept to themselves and quiet. Libby: He does, just not that often, besides, I talk enough for both of us! Rylan: That’s the truth! There was a chuckle, Liam looking over at Izzy, who for once seemed to have a small smile on his face. He wondered though, what had made Izzy so quiet but decided not to push it. Liam: Maybe one day huh?

Again a nod from the younger dragon, as Liam went back to focusing more on the other ones and what they were all talking about, letting Izzy sit and listen to them as they would usually do. After a couple of hours of chatting, laughing, and random quiet moments where someone asked Izzy something until Libby answered for them as usual, Fannar and Arlo came to take their two home with them. The rest of the evening and night vanished in movies and well, way too much candy.

Ibuki had started learning how to make nectar and wine in his free time with the hope of being able to sell his own when he was done with school. Following his dad's advice he had taken courses in accounting so he could manage himself. But also had some help from his dad to begin with.

Kaylin on the other hand, had finally decided that she wanted to be a journalist and took summer classes to get into the courses she wanted for the final year of college.

Watching the six teens, soon young adults sitting in the living room, Emil just smiled as he brought them their snacks for the evening. If he was honest, Ye-Min had been with them so much now, that she felt a little like one of his kids, even though he knew she wasn’t.

She did call both of them uncles by now, so they were family at least. Kaylin and Ibuki often came over as well so he had the thing he once only dreamed of having, a family, one that felt just right. Feeling a familiar hand in his, he looked over at Flynn who smiled back at him.

Flynn: I think we did okay with them don’t you? Emil. Yeah, I wonder what their life has in store for them. Flynn: Ups and downs is my guess. But they are lucky, they have their family and friends to fall back on when they need to.

Emil nodded, they knew their kids would come back to them if something bothered them, and that was something he was happy about. Rylan often talked with Chris as well as them, while Tyvan often talked with his grandpa River if his parents weren’t home and he needed an answer.

River: And we are never far away, so if we need to come, all you do is call.

He was a little worried, but mostly he felt pride. Liam had managed all he had set his mind to over the last year. His grades had gone up, and this place had become his dream cafe. Looking over at Flynn he smiled. Somehow he had been so lucky with both his kids, both had been able to follow their dream, although one had perhaps had a rougher trip to it. Flynn: What? River: Nah, just an old man being happy and nostalgic at the same time.

Flynn chuckled, he had a good idea what his dad was thinking about, they had talked about it enough times after all. But he could in all honesty say that all he was, was happy for his brother, and that he had his dream already in his hands, and was ready to step into it.

The day after everyone was there for the opening. Silver stood in his new paddock alongside Shade, Lucy and Rosa, whom he had taken from the shelter to stay with him. A few of the more calm and comfortable pets had already claimed some spots they felt were now theirs. The place itself smelled of newly baked goods and of course coffee.

They talked for a while longer, until there were more yawns than words, and sleep finally managed to grasp all three of them. The day after it was up early, Rylan left them at breakfast along with Ye-Min and their coach to prepare for the free program. The rest met up with family outside the arena, taking some time to just walk around before they went in to watch. They had been placed almost in the middle of the field, so even after they were done, there would be an awfully long wait for everyone.

Flynn: I think that's the best free run I have ever seen them do. Emil: Agreed.. Now, to wait. Liam: I hate waiting.

There was a chuckle from everyone, as they all agreed that they really had outdone themselves. And had a firm grip on the first position for now. The question was, would it be enough? The answer to that question was only in their possession 2 hours later, when the final list glowed over the ice.

Tyvan: They did it!

Their performance in the free program had snagged them third place, and with that, a ticket to the Olympics. And although they all knew these two loved winning, they had a feeling that this ticket was as big a thing as the win would have been. Watching the ceremony, they knew that they would stay one more day for the Gala show that would be the next day, where the contestants would just show off a routine made more for fun.

Chris took Arlo, Fannar and the two kids to their home, so Arlo could rest up. Fannar made sure to hug everyone before they left, and of course mentioned just how proud he was of his nephew and his ice skating partner.

An hour later, they were all snuggled inside the cozy living room, with a takeout from Carl’s son’s new idea for his restaurant. To not only have people come in, but to cater to special occasions when they needed a bigger or perhaps a more quiet place.

Flynn: So what is next? Odette: Well, we’ll be taken along with the national team, and we’ll get to go all over the world and skate against their best. I should get all the info during the two next weeks, and then we’ll plan around that. Rylan: It feels almost unreal, and big. Ye-Min: It really does. Emil: Well it is big, but also very real. Odette: And so well deserved. You two, have put so much effort into this, so much of your hearts, and right now I feel like the sky is almost not even your limit.

A smile was shared between Rylan and Ye-Min, they had put their heart and soul into this, and they still loved it as much as the first time they had started to skate together. After some toasts and rounds of praise, the rest of the evening went to them all just chatting, about what was coming, school, and just everyday things.

Rylan: He’ll get there, I think they're noticing more and more his heart is not in school.

The two of them kept talking for a while, until Tyvan noticed his twin was no longer answering, which meant he had fallen asleep. He had always been the one of the two that stayed up longer, so he took up a book to read until he too fell asleep. The day after felt like it came much too soon, and before anyone felt ready, they were back at the venue, and if they thought they had been nervous the day before, it was nothing compared to how it felt now. It all came down to their free program, all their practice and hard work was for this.

Emil: I think I will need a reminder on how to breathe today. Libby: I’ll remind you.-they smiled sitting next to Emil.- after I remind myself.

Emil smiled and nodded, the nerve of this was really getting to all of them, they all knew how important this was for the two of them so naturally it became important to all of them as well. The worst part was that they were the last couple out, so it would be a long wait for all of them.

Hayden: Okay.. here we go.

He held Vy’s hand, realizing he had not been this nervous in about as long as he could remember, and from the look on his beloved’s face as well as his parent's he was not alone. It was the longest four minutes anyone could remember, with nerves jolting up with every lift, jump and movement.

He pointed at the vip boxes, the other one next to where Ye-Min’s parents were. Flynn nodded, he had been in on the planning for all this, it simply meant, apart from Chris who was working, everyone in the family was here to witness what might be their first win.

Flynn: I see someone waving for you, good luck now, both of you.

A round of hugs later, they watched as the two made their way to their coach, to start preparing for the short program, which was as always, the first real indicator of how things would go. While they were preparing, the family found their seats, chatting and talking between them.

Liam: Isn’t that…

He stopped, as the person they had seen for just a few seconds vanished. For just a minute they had thought it was Amuary, but they had walked out too soon for him to see properly, but he had noted what he thought was a police uniform.

Liam: Never mind, it was nothing after all.

Rylan: Uncle Fan!

Everyone noticed the white haired man smiling at them. Flynn had told him about this day, but to see him here put a huge smile on his face. He simply had not expected it.

Fannar: Now I missed last year, I am not missing this year. Libby: Us too! -they smiled and pointed at Izzy who was also standing there.- We are all here to see you win!

Emil lifted an eyebrow, they had been told about the change in Libby, but this was the first time they saw the much more masculine frame they now had.

Rylan: Hopefully, yes. Tyvan: Meh, he is just being modest - they wink- do you guys have a seat close to us? Fannar: We do, while Lucas and your uncle is up there with Arlo, as this would be too much for him to sit close to, but he wanted to come.

Hearing a knock on the door, they saw River and Lucas stand there with a tray filled with cookies and some nice lemonade for them to drink.

Lucas: Last of summer treats, but to be eaten outside, or I think you would end up having competition on the cookies. Melisan: And the lemonade, I think I can mention a few here who would try.

A small shuffle of pets later, all the kids now sat outside, enjoying homemade cookies that Liam had baked earlier, and lemonade that they knew came from Fannar and Arlo after River’s last visit. They all knew that this was Liam’s last year in school, but unlike the rest of them, he seemed to have no real career plan, apart from of course what he had always said his own cafe.

Emil had made Rylan and Ye-Min keep up with their studies, but they were both more homeschooled now, as their skating took up more and more time. That way, they could plan between the many training hours and still do well. About a month after school started, there was only one thing on everyone's mind, the nationals.

Tyvan: You're winning this year, I’m sure of it. Rylan: We shall see, Odette always said it is not good to think that. Tyvan: For me, it's fine, for you. I guess not. -they chuckle- I never imagined this was what our adventure into the ice rink would lead to back then. Rylan: Me neither.

Lucas: How is it they all got so big already? River: If I knew, I would tell you. -he chuckled- it’s just the way it is somehow. Lucas: Is it bad that I kinda wish he wanted to sleep over? River: Nope, but you know, he plans to open in Christmas, for those that have nowhere to go? Lucas: I know. River: Come, lets get some sleep and we can surprise him and any visitors there with being there?

Lucas smiled, letting River lead him to their bedroom, noticing the lifted head from a certain cat for a second or two before it just went back to sleep. As the rest of the year passed, and a new year was ushered in, the family was once again watching Rylan and Ye-Min win their second championships, qualifying them again for the now one year from now world championships. If they won that one, it would mean another trip to the Olympics. The two of them had gone from the new upcoming ones to being the ones everyone had to try and beat. This kept them on their toes, and much like Rylan had said, there were still speculations about them being a couple, which had all three of them sitting and laughing when they read the tabloids.

As they reached the end of yet another school year, Tyvan had been accepted into the police Academy, and after two years of training, was bumped a year ahead and joined the Criminal Psychology unit as a trainee. Rylan and Ye-min shifted their focus fully over to competing while letting Emil school them on the side, where they were not bound to school hours, but both could work on their degrees in what time they had outside their career.

Emil: They're ruthless. They have a code of honor based on mutual respect, and if you break it, their wrath is ruthless. Vy: No one keeps a grudge like a dragon. Emil: Exactly. They rip out wings from dragons like me. Their horns too. As I had no horns to cut, they ripped out my wings as punishment and left me for dead. If somehow I survived 'I'd be pardoned'. And they were gentle with me. Vy: Gentle? Emil: Yes... As I had surrendered myself willingly, they opted to believe I had changed. So they decided to just strip from me means of becoming a further danger. But the first time they caught me they buried me neck deep and left a saw for passersby to have fun sawing off my head. Slowly... -and they poke the scar on their neck- Vy: You think he might be around because of you? Emil: Not him. He's a kid... But what of his parents? Vy: Have you met them? Emil: No. Vy: Then perhaps you should.

Emil watched the kids, part of him wanted to just think this was a random occurrence, that this kid was here for nothing but being Tyvan’s best friend. But the worry was there. Before they got any further though, Rylan swung by telling them he would be with them in twenty, as he just needed a shower before heading to dinner.

Tyvan: See you later then? Amuary: Yep, and soon we will be back at being at the same school too. Tyvan: Soon-ish you mean, Liam will be there first.

The look she got from her twin had them hold out the picture for him to take, letting him stuff it into the packet and then put it away without her commenting on it. There was a smirk on her face though, one he knew all too well what meant. They had not had the final talk about all this.

With summer coming to an end, all the “kids” had their final meetup and River and Lucas’s newly finished shelter. They had chosen to rebuild when they started getting more horses, as they simply needed the space. Sitting outside with horses grazing close by, under one of the big trees, the talk between them was mostly on where they were now all heading.

Who was going to what university, what classes, what they expected, and so on. Libby told them about them finally starting high school, while Izzy stayed quiet as usual. In all honesty, they were surprised he chose to come still.

Liam: You guys will come over less often now then I assume? Libby: Yeah, sorry, but on the weekend hopefully we can come say hi.

There was a nod from Izzy as well who had 5 kittens in his lap. It was a rare smile on his face that they all assumed he simply did not know he had.

Liam: Good, I need my coffee tasters to drop by after all.

There was a smile between them all, before the talk shifted to the cafe, how it was doing, pets who had new homes, new pets that were coming in to try their luck, and in general they just chatted about what the next year might have in store for them all.

Sunlight often came to him if it was something he wanted to talk about, often dragon things, which was something Emil still loved sometimes sending the young dragon to Vy to answer some of them, not because they didn’t know, but because they knew Vy loved visits from the kids, and even more, loved to answer any dragon questions.

Through summer, the kids made sure they met at least once a month at Liam’s cafe in the morning, to then head out to the shelter to help out in the afternoons.

It was a way they liked to just keep in touch, as their own lives took up more and more of their time. It was a late summer afternoon when Liam noticed someone familiar in his cafe, someone he hadn’t really seen in a while. As if to tell him he was right, he saw Libby wave at him as she too entered.

Libby: Hola! Liam: Heya Libby, did they really let you travel alone? Libby: Yeah, we're old enough now to come visit all by ourselves!

Liam just smiled, letting her look through the list of drinks, letting her order for her and her brother. Much to his surprise though, he did notice that Izzy came back almost daily after their first one, which he admitted surprised him. He always sat at the same table in the back, and in general, didn’t talk, but gave a nod in his direction.

Vy: That he found a luck dragon, because I think I found mine in you. Inherited from dad of course.

Hayden just chuckled, he knew his dad called his dragon a luck dragon, and he didn’t mind being called one as well. Even if he often did not feel much like one, this was one of those occasions, he had to agree with his husband. Perhaps there was some luck in him after all.

Flynn: So Izzy still doesn’t talk much huh?

He sat next to Fannar in one of the sofa’s, Arlo being with his aunt and dad discussing some potions, so it gave the twins some alone time while all the kids were busy with their newly opened presents.

Fannar: No, he stays quiet mostly. Libby always says she speaks enough for both. Flynn: Worried, even if you know why? Fannar: A little, it's hard not to when it’s your kids right? Flynn: Yep, Arlo is still in denial? Fannar: -chuckles- Yes, but I hope one day he realizes that he can just talk, without worrying about it. Flynn: I’m sure he will one day. The two talked a bit more, before it was time for everyone to head home, leaving River and Lucas sitting in their now more empty and quiet home with a sleeping Munchie next to them.

Their life was so full with their kids, grandkids, work, and now two shelters and a cafe where they spent a lot of their free time. Christmas that year was spent in River and Lucas’s new place, as they found that with everyone together, it was the only place that could fit them all. Vy standing with Hayden just watching them all after the gifts had been opened, and everyone was just chatting. Hayden: What? Vy: I remember so long ago when I thought I would be alone forever... And look at how wrong I was. Hayden: All because you poked someone at a library huh? Vy chuckled, squeezing his husband's hand. This year, even Arlo and Fannar were there with their not-so-little ones, although some years younger than Liam, Ty, and Ry, they were also not that little anymore.

Ready to soon head into their first year at high school, and Arlo was still doing better, and could with a bit of a room to pull back into when needed, join in on these occasions. Vy: I’m starting to think our dad is right. Hayden: In what way?

Flynn: Come on in you two -they smiled, looking at their twin and Arlo as Libby pulled Izzy with her over to the others.- And you two too of course. We're upstairs, so follow me. Fannar: Behave you two! Libby: Izzy always behaves Vatirmi! Arlo: He means you, Libidel. Libby: But I’m the brains of the operation! Vamirti! Both: Exactly.

Fan smile as they follow their twin upstairs, to where Emil is sitting in his library waiting for them. Arlo had one of his now more often happening better days, since they blinded their right eye, they had improved greatly, so they could stay a while before taking their little ones home, and they did miss their twin so this was a good day for all.

Fan: You sure they're okay with having two kids with them? Emil: It was their suggestion, so I would say so. Arlo: Oooh.. can I?

They had noticed some of the books in Emil’s library, and after Emil nodded, they soon sat on the sofa next to Fannar reading one of them. Downstairs, the movies had started, as they had invited Libby and Izzy of course, they saved the grimmer ones of their choices for later.
