the adventure zone: graduation character list

Well, i accidentally deleted the original graduation character list post, so here i am making another one. Oops. And as always, if anyone has important details i should add then feel free to suggest them!

Here are all the characters introduced in episodes 1-25. Named characters only!

Also i can’t hide spoilers! So, um..... I can’t put spoilers on this one. If you need the version with spoilers try this version of the post that i made on the adventure zone subreddit but youre not missing out on much.

# -EPISODE 1- (19 characters)

Hieronymous Wiggenstaff (he/him): Head of the Hero/Villain school. at least 400 years old. wears shining blue armor with gold accents. also an elf. according to Tomas, he led the charge at the "battle of blood valley", brought the Kingdoms of Rickart and Dawnbreak to a peace treaty, and founded the school. a little boastful, a little prideful, [SPOILERS OMITTED], and overall a pretty good dude.

Higglemas Wiggenstaff (he/him): Head of the Sidekick/Henchperson annex, cranky old elf. has a dog named hero who shows no signs of anything strange at all, ever.

Gary (he/him): friendly room gargoyle. pseudo-hivemind.

Groundsy (he/him): the groundskeeper. a pretty nice fellow. don't go in his shed.

Hernandez (he/him): beautiful centaur professor of animal handling.

Jimson (he/him): human battlegrounds trainer for sidekicks/henchpeople, world famous featherweight champion, wields a staff. married to crushman.

Crushman (he/him): silver dragonborn with a sickle, and self-described beefy boy! heavyweight blood champion married to jimson. never lost a match for 8 years. full name Frostus Crushman.

Rolandus Fontaine (he/him): former prince, son of deposed king, kind of an asshole, maybe. wears a cape (important detail)

Zana (she/her): "terrifying" tiefling villain sorcerer, friend of rolandus. barkept the test tavern in ep2

Rhodes (she/her): hero ranger, friend of rolandus.

Buckminster Eden (he/him): hero guy. son of "The Iron Lord". their dad is stronger than rolandus's dad. his wiki page says rogue so i think hes a rogue? i never caught that and ive listened more times than i wish i did

Leon (he/him): softspoken buff, bald "fighter" (although i dont remember any clarification on how exactly he fights), sidekick of buckminster, around 28. anyone else keep forgetting he's bald? i keep forgetting it. >!gets sorta-drafted into becoming a falcon for higglemas and so far hasn't done much else.!<

Rainer Michelle (she/her): cheerful villainous necromancer with a floating chair. also, her name is pronounced "rainier" despite not being confirmed as such? travis ships her with fitzroy.

Tomas (he/him): human man with "kind eyes" and a good (psychic???) memory. guidance counselor.

Stewart LeBoeuf (he/him): brawny human man. serves food. there is no joke here, i promise

Mulligan (he/him): teaches potions. mentioned but doesn't appear yet. and we're like 25 episodes in. maybe we'll see him someday

Germaine, Victoria, Rattles (he/him,she/her,???/???): Skeleton crew. They live in the training room i guess, and as a result can never die, because "no one dies in the training room!" (note: someone now HAS to die in the training room). also their races are never explicitly stated but i guess they're probably human? in episode 3 travis brings up something about how many bones are in "the human body" and at this point i think i'm looking too deep into this so i'll just forget about it and you probably should too.

# -EPISODE 2- (9 characters)

Riveau (he/him): halfling, blame-taking teacher.

Mimi (they/them): gnome sidekick who builds cool robot prosthetics

Bartholemus (he/him): owl aarakocra accountant teacher, known for being the best accountant in the land and having a face some might describe as "smoochable". very pro capitalist :’( hope he gets better

Ramos (she/her): goliath teacher of shieldwork. *

Dip (she/her): sidekick, half-orc twin of pip

Pip (she/her): hero, half-orc twin of dip

Festo (they/them): fairy with "beautiful gossamer wings", independent study teacher of magic, loves to party

Snippers (he/him?): Let me tell you my story about Snippers the magic crab. When Travis gave the list of animals that Griffin could choose as Fitzroy's familiar's current form, he listed crab near the start, and this gave me excitement. Now i knew that crab was pretty unlikely but god i hoped that he would choose it. When the list went on- Bat, Cat, Crab, Frog, Hawk, Lizard, Owl, Poisonous Snake, Fish, Rat, Raven, Seahorse, Spider or Weasel- I nearly lost hope. I was hoping so hard that Griffin would choose the crab, but i was ready to accept a non-crab familiar. It was just buried in that list. It wasn't the most useful animal and it was an obscure pick. And as Travis informed him that it didn't have to keep the form for the whole campaign, Griffin said those five words i wanted to hear so, so badly. "Well then it's a crab." Folks, I do not often react physically when something happens in media. But in that moment, i remember very clearly, i fist-pumped and yelled, "YES!!!!!!"

so anyway, Fitzroy has a crab.

Jackle (he/him): kenku teacher of sneakery. creepy dude. apparently knows something about argo? also his name is not spelled "jackal" for some reason. Also in later episodes theyve started calling him "The Jackle" for some reason??? *

# -EPISODE 3- (1 character)

Dakota (they/them): tavern instructor, clad in black/red leather. no race stated? probably human. *

# -EPISODE 4- (6 characters)

Gerry & Tom (she/her, he/him): shopkeepers at barns and nobles who seem to have very bad names. also constantly competing for customers? these guys got dropped faster than the heathcliff quests, which is honestly just sad.

Barb (she/her): the bartender. runs Springs Eternal in Last Hope. has a sweet seeing-eye hawk familiar.

Jaryd Reginald (he/him): owner of Reginald Ore. Wants the workers to be held responsible for the damage caused by the xorn. (fun fact: originally i wrote down "Jerrod" because i wanted it to sound like a fantasy name, then realized it was probably "Jared" because theyre named after listeners, but i was pleased to find it confirmed that it's actually "Jaryd")

Candice (she/her): A Miner. thought those werent allowed in bars but, i guess not. Wants the mine owner to be held responsible for the xorn's damage.

Jade Johnson Esq. (she/her): lawyer.

# -EPISODE 5- (1 character)

Xorn: a big hungry gem eating guy from the plane of earth Low-Down Deep with 3 arms and 3 legs. why did travis just say "multi-armed" instead of specifying it was 3? who knows! Anyway it leaves

# -EPISODE 6- (3 characters)

Osric (he/him): the man, the myth, the bursar. finally shows up after being mentioned in episodes 2 and 4. he's an elf.

breeze through the willows (she/her): Pegasus attacked by demons, lost her parents. introduced in ep1 but gets a name here so fuck it. also in ep>!16!< we find out shes a "white arabian pegasus" and i dont think thats a spoiler bc we shouldve really known it from the beginning

Sabor (he/him): Librarian/research teacher. also a TORTLE. Really good at recalling stuff, i guess. kinda reminds me of Tomas's memory thing but i'm sure that's just a coincidence... *

# -EPISODE 7- (1 character)

Mosh (he/him): The goliath blacksmith who welcomes argo into the unbroken chain. Also, and this is specific to the tumblr version of this post, all the characters with an * at the end of their descriptions are also members of the unbroken chain. if someone knows how to do spoilers on tumblr please tell me

# -EPISODE 8-

# -EPISODE 9- (2 characters)

Eeiïäá#æ&éñn (pronounced like "Ian") (he/him?): an imp but without a shitty voice. also happens to not be violent. what a coincidence?

Terence (he/him): a chain devil with a real demonic name. minor boss of the imps. very convincing and very threatening. has the frightening ability to make you zone out during his fight

# -EPISODE 10- (2 characters)

Althea Song (she/her): elf with autumn-orange hair. representative from heroic oversight guild. i'd like to personally thank travis for spelling her name out.

Crabtree (she/her): Artificing teacher. Long gray hair with a long grey beard. no mentioned race, one might guess dwarf but that would be an assumption i suppose. also unbroken chain member, presumably the dwarf argo didn't recognize in episode 7.

# -EPISODE 11- (3 characters)

Marie (she/her): Grey-haired elf woman. She's the school's physician, i guess. Member of the unbroken chain.

Dendra Maplecourt (she/her): Fitzroy's mom. Has hot mint gum, i guess. She was mentioned earlier but i wasn't convinced she was a real person until this episode

Cool Gary (he/him): AYY ITS ME GARYR

# -EPISODE 12-

no new characters again!

# -EPISODE 13- (7 characters hhhyyyuu)

Kale (???/???): Head of the Placement Department, in charge of real world assignments. First mentioned in Ep4 but i missed that the last few times bc it is so brief. Gives exposition about missions i guess????? is that the only reason this chara cter exists

satyr thief (unnamed) (he/him): tries to rob thundermen, dies instantly

Ogre (he/him): teamed up with the satyr. his name is ogre.

Moon (he/him): A Sidekick. small pale sullen guy. no mentioned race. Why is there another FUCKING sidekick WE HAD ENOUGH hhhyuuuuuu

Deanna (she/her): A bigoted centaur with an obnoxious voice. Malwin the Strong's second in command.

Malwin the Strong (she/her): Leader of the centaurs of the scarlet woods. Wants to appease the spirit of the scarlet woods so that thecentaurs of the scarlet woods will be protected in the scarlet woods. Had a relationship with Arturas in the past but their clashes are currently known to get pretty heated.

Arturas (he/him): Leader of the Centaurs of the Valley, i guess. Had a relationship with Malwin. Centaur. Did i mention centaur? i cant think of anything else about this character

# -EPISODE 14- (2 characters)

Calhain (he/him): Human wizard, Malwin's magical advisor. Kind of an amateur wizard in a job high above his skill level. Graduated Wigginstaff's as a hero.

Spirit of the Scarlet Woods: A spirit who requires sacrifice in order to keep Malwin's herd safe and prosperous. Not keen on dubiously canonical combos, i guess. i wouldnt be either. also apparently the sacrifice depends on personal value, not how much value it has to the spirit.

# -EPISODE 15- (2 characters)

Sylvia Nite (she/her): Fitzroy's magic theory teacher at knight night school, who he turned into a catfish by accident. oops!

Chaos (they/them, maybe more): Presumably a deity, gave Fitz his powers and wants him to give in to his chaotic desires. (physical desc: 9 foot tall, iridescent 'mother of pearl' skin, pure white eyes, fine burgundy cloak with gold/onyx lining. their physical form beyond that seems to change every time they show up.)

# -EPISODE 16-

none -w-

# -EPISODE 17-

some demins happened. the big dudes are called "Pit Fiends" and the armored demon ladies are called "Erinyes", by the way. that was incredibly hard for me to figure out the first time, especially without headphones, i thought travis was saying "pig feet" and i just could not discern what the other things were

# -EPISODE 18- (6 characters)

snow on the mountain: shire horse pegasus

storm at sea: peruvian paso pegasus, vehement defender of The Guardian. doesn't have a goofy voice.. but he could have....

thaw of the spring: a winged horse

night of no clouds: a winged hhorse

The Guardian: "An ancient and powerful being that guards the unknown forest." Has protected the flock from demons for many many years. apparently is the voice that was talking to our firbolg in episode 1?

Grey, the Demon Prince (he/him): wants to cause a war, originally wanted to kill hiero and higgs, forces the heroes to build an army to fight his. As "Fauxronimous", he has skin the *color and pattern of* (but not necessarily made of) slate splashed with liquid, pointed ears, sharp teeth, shining eyes, horns of unspecified shape. 12 fucking feet tall. wonder if the slate-looking skin is related to garys. plot twist detected? Also i recently looked at the episode descriptions and found out his name is spelled "Gray", but really does it truly matter?

# -EPISODE 19- (2 characters)

Shabree Keene (she/her): Argo's mom, killed on the Mariah, possibly by the Commodore. Long auburn hair, green eyes. Mentioned earlier but described here, so fuck it.

**Thomas** (he/him): Argo's first mate on the Mariah, as the Kraken, in his chaos-dream. may or may not actually exist.

# -EPISODE 20- (1 character)

The Commodore (he/him): Reknowned hero of the seas, military regalia, great naval hero, presumably responsible for the death of Shabree Keene. No mentioned race. Seriously, they never mention this guy's race. The only thing described about him is how he's dressed and his evil smile. Does that mean he's human? Elf? Dwarf??? Who knows! maybe it just doesnt matter.

# -EPISODE 21-

none

# -EPISODE 22-

not any of them. not any.

# -EPISODE 23- (1 character)

Ozymondelius (sp???) (it/its): A warforged teacher who just so happens to like war or something? i guess its in the name. only mentioned in this episode, doesnt show up yet.

# -EPISODE 24-

they have a fight in the training room but nobody dies :\\ maybe next time. also no new characters. pog

# -EPISODE 25- (4 characters)

Gherkin (he/him): Tall lankier skeleton, has a scimitar and a merkin, which is a pubic wig... and he wears a jerkin? which i guess is a kind of coat? also i think hes mute

Tibia (she/her?) : Shorter skeleton with gold teeth, and long canines. i think both of the skeletons are mute actually.

The Lich King aka Gordy (he/him): Rainer's dad. Commands armies of the undead. lives in The Crypt. described as a hooded, skull-faced man with intricate black lines on his face, but changes to a shaved-head man with dark skin and vetiligo. Abandoned as a babby, raised by traveling parents, had necromancy powers, took Rainier in. Not actually very scary at all i don't know why he did the creepy laugh. Kind of a warm fatherly figure actually. hm. also people are speculating Gordy might be short for Gordita and his parents are maybe supposed to be lup and barry but THAT S JUST A THEORY.

our firbolg's father (he/him): A firbolg who lived by the code and was there when our firbolg was banished. Came to respect our firbolg's interest in a new way of life, in his final moments.

TOTAL: 72 NPCS! (well, including 2 extra PCs, i guess.)

Average: 2.88 NPCs per episode.

i was gonna not include the bone-PCs and have it be 69 but our firbolg's dad was just too important to not respect with a spot on the list.

anyway as always make sure to smack me with a blunt object if i forgot any characters!!!!!

my ramblings about the new intro for the owl house. yes i'm a mcyt blog, and what about it

yoooooo the eye looks so cool!! also it's on fire and kind of turned sideways. probably symbolism but it's too late to think about that lmaoo

LUZ MY BELOVED :DDD her cape looks fucking amazing and her casting the glyph looks so dynamic and pretty, can't wait to see her this season, i love her

EDA :DD also missed her. she looks more mismatched this time around with her grey eye and the dark chest jewelry thing, and fsdfsdkj i am scared for her. ALSO THE ANIMATION IS SO PRETTY AND SMOOTH THE ENTIRE TIME

KING!!!! he just popped out of nowhere so true as he should, lmaoo and eda just looks at him like

WILLOW HER POWER!! she's the best i love her

GUS!!! aww he looks so grown up, the best boy ever

AMITY :DD badass as ever she's so cool

(also the transitions are the coolest things ever!!!)

oooh in this next part the owl house and the castle engravings things are the same size, which seems very inchresting, the owl house family is very powerful mhmm

hrrrrrrrghghgh this part makes me uh scared for these three characters. the frame's they're in remind me of playing cards, and as you can see they flip over to show them all in different poses, more disheveled, probably in distress of some sort, but the worst part is the way belos's hand seems to pick them up, as if they're, well, just playing cards. anyway good luck to these guys because uhhhhhhhhh (kikimora reminds me of that one school field trip tour guide who wouldn't let you eat lunch, so uh rip to her ig, we don't really know who the middle guy is yet, but already have gender envy for him, huh, and i'm still mad at lilith but she's growing on me so i hope nothing too bad happens to her bc she's already kind of been through it. tho pretty sure most of us are expecting she won't get through this season unscathed sfdkjsfdjksa)

belos is scary!! i don't know that much about character design but the way the owl house does its masked villains always seemed really unique to me and it never feels overdone because it fits with the atmosphere of the boiling isles a lot so i can't wait to see what they do with him :D also looks like he's fighting someone + plus there's a flash of gold from the lightning right before his eyes flash blue, not sure if that's supposed to parallel eda's and lilith's colors but i thought it was cool. ooh also in the old intro this is king's part. given how we're going to find out more about king's past this is inchresting hmmm

LOOK AT LUZ AGAIN :D MY BELOVED :D the shadows and it being evening are really cool! sets the scene very nicely. TINY NOSE!!! dfkjsdfkjl the worm i think it's really cool how they kept this part the same with a couple minor changes like the lighting and eda's eye! it kind of gives you a sense that the season is still going to be the show we know and love, just obviously with changes as the story advances

luz and her light :D fadsjkfdskj not sure what they're called but the nebula things in the sky are really pretty! they make the world feel a little wider if that makes sense, as in there's more out there we haven't seen

LOOK AT THAT BORDER!!! IT LOOKS SO COOL!! the skeletons are so funky and the other symbols (i think those might be glyphs??) make it feel like it's tying back to something old like the history we were introduced to in season one

the elements' animation just look cool as fuck and are just a very nice reminder of how luz's skills have grown so much

AHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO :DDDD

#the owl house #adfsjksdfkj #not mcyt #why did i do this??#idk

So I have a prompt for you. I had a best friend whose dad was a cop. She used to talk about how she'd be scared every morning when he left for work bc she knew his job was dangerous at times and she'd wonder if something bad was going to happen when he left that day. So my prompt is for Waverly to maybe have this same fear for when her wife leaves her and their daughter every day for her dangerous job and Nicole assures her that she will always come home to them

I just want to let you know how much I loved writing this prompt. Most people on here don’t know that I myself am the daughter of a police officer, which helped tremendously when it came to adding feeling to this story. I hope you like it, and thanks for sending it to me

I’m Always Coming Back- 1903 words | Ao3

“But it’s just Purgatory,” Nicole dragged out the town’s name as she threaded her belt through its buckle.

Waverly sat up in bed, using her force of motion to hurl a pillow at her wife, “I don’t care if it’s Purgatory or Detroit or Timbuktu or the moon, I’m going to be worried about you the whole time.”

Nicole dodged the pillow, having already expected this gesture of caring aggression.

“Baby,” she murmured, kneeling on the bed and planting a soft kiss on Waverly’s forehead, “I’m always coming back to you and Willow.”

“But I can’t help but imagine you-” Nicole cut her off with a kiss on the mouth. They remained like that: Waverly’s arms behind her, keeping her in a sitting position with Nicole leaning over, her fingers tangled in Waverly’s long, sleep-ruffled hair. There came a quiet knock on the door.

“Mommy?” Willow whispered.

“Yes, Sweetie?” Waverly called out as Nicole untangled her fingers from her hair and sat back on the bed.

Willow pushed open the door and stepped into the room. She was still wearing her nightgown, which fluttered around her ankles. In her arm she clutched a stuffed bear that looked as though it had seen much better days.

“It’s Saturday, so can we have pancakes?” Her five year old mouth formed the words carefully, occasionally revealing the gap where her first loose tooth had once been.

Nicole and Waverly smiled in unison at their daughter, whose unusually bright hazel eyes flicked back and forth between them as she awaited an answer.

“Momma’s gotta go to work but I can make you pancakes,” Waverly replied, already throwing off the covers and rolling out of bed.

“But I can pour you orange juice before I leave so Mommy can start your pancakes,” Nicole stood up from the bed and took Willow’s free hand, leading her out of the bedroom and toward the kitchen.

Waverly stopped for a moment, watching the backs of the two girls she loved most in the world leave the room, hand in hand. She grabbed her wedding ring off of the nightstand, slipping it onto her finger.

“I can never get tired of it,” she said aloud as she walked out of the room behind them.

In the kitchen, she saw another scene typical of a Saturday. Willow had latched herself onto Nicole’s middle, face buried in her stomach.

“But why can’t you stay? Then you can eat pancakes and come to watch me at swimming lessons! Mommy always gets me ice cream afterwards, but I’m sure she can get you some, too.”

“Willie, you know I have to work.” Nicole’s voice was gentle as she tried to pry her daughter’s arms from around her legs. “I’ll be back home tonight for dinner, you know that! I’m always back.”

“But I miss you when you’re gone…” Willow responded, her voice muffled by Nicole’s stomach.

“I miss you, too, more than anything in the world. But, Honey, I have to go now,” she finally detangled herself from her daughter and knelt down so she could kiss her on the forehead. “Momma loves you.”

Nicole stood up and kissed Waverly. Then she grabbed her keys and left for work.

Waverly turned back to Willow, “Ready for some pancakes?”

Waverly moved through the day, performing mom duties every step of the way. She de-syruped everything (everything) when Willow finished her pancakes, chauffeured her daughter to swimming lessons, and bought her the traditional post-swim ice cream cone.

“Can we get an extra one to take to Momma?” Willow asked, chocolate ice cream already dripping onto her fingers.

“What flavor do you think she’ll like?” Waverly responded, raising an eyebrow.

“Strawberry!”

They ordered the ice cream and upturned it into a bowl to prevent a mess, and then drove toward the police station. When they were a few blocks away, a siren began to wail. Sure enough, a police car with none other than Sheriff Nicole Haught in the driver’s seat was headed toward them. Waverly attempted a wave but Nicole was too focused on the road to notice.

When they reached the police station, Waverly hurried inside, holding Willow’s hand. She was prepared to wait for Nicole, most police calls didn’t last very long, and she hoped that she would return soon.

“Hello, Waverly,” a familiar voice called as they stepped inside. “Hi Willow, I see you’ve just finished swimming, what an excellent summer pastime, I do believe.”

While Willow’s hair was still damp, it looked more as though she was swimming in melted ice cream rather than water.

“Doc! I didn’t know you’d be at the station today. But good thing you are, maybe you can tell us where Nicole is heading? We brought her ice cream but we saw her driving away as we pulled in.”

Waverly’s breath hitched as she saw the grave look on Doc’s face. Maybe she didn’t want to know where Nicole was going.

“Oh, not to worry, not to worry. Just a police call.” His voice was jovial but his eyes betrayed his own worry, noticeable only to Waverly. “But I don’t quite think that ice cream will make it to her return, unless, of course, Sheriff Haught likes her ice cream soupy.

Waverly frowned, it wasn’t often that a police call took so long. She turned to Willow.

“Let’s get this home and into the freezer, Momma can eat it when she gets home, okay?”

Willow, completely oblivious to the worried lilt in her mother’s voice, nodded her head and walked toward the door.

“See you soon, Doc, take care,” Waverly called as she ushered Willow out of the station.

As she drove home, Waverly’s sense of dread grew, writhing in her stomach and causing her palms to sweat. She peered in the rearview mirror and saw Willow appeared unaffected, her wide eyes looking out the window. She would smile and wave at anyone they passed by, even though they couldn’t see her.

They arrived home and Waverly began preparing dinner.

“Can I help, Mommy?” Willow asked, her face recently cleared of the sticky chocolate remains of her fated ice cream cone.

“Why don’t you go draw Momma a picture?” As much as she wanted to be with her daughter, her worry was beginning to show and she didn’t want Willow to fret.

“I’ll draw a picture of our family, and I’ll even add Auntie Wynonna, too!” She giggled, running out of the room.

Waverly sighed, her frown momentarily replaced by a wistful smile. When she heard the door of Willow’s bedroom close, she began pulling out ingredients for the meal.

“Hey, Waves,” Wynonna’s voice called from the front door as she stepped in, holding the hand of an impish-looking boy.

“Hi guys. Willow’s in her room if you want to find her, Winston,” Waverly called over her shoulder as she opened the oven door to check on the chicken.

Winston hurried down the hall and the sisters’ ears were filled with mischievous laughter as the cousins greeted each other.

“Need help?” Wynonna asked, taking her jacket off and entering the kitchen.

“Offering help before finding a drink? Are you sure you’re feeling alright?”

“Motherhood works wonders sometimes.”

“Agreed.”

“So how is Nicole? Will she be home for dinner?”

“She’s good. And she’s supposed to be,” Waverly tried to keep the concern out of her voice.

A high pitched ding interrupted their conversation, and Waverly turned to the oven, trying to shove the worry for Nicole to the back of her mind. She pulled out the chicken and removed the pot from the stove. Dinner was ready, and now they only needed one more person to arrive.

“Should I call the kids?” Wynonna asked.

“Let’s wait until Nicole is home, you know how antsy they get when they sit at the table and aren’t allowed to eat anything yet,” Waverly paused. “Actually that’s mostly you.”

Wynonna threw a dish towel at Waverly, “Hey!”

They set the table and soon enough, following the scent of the meal wafting from the kitchen, the kids made their way into the room. Willow and Winston took their seats at the table, Willow clutching a folded piece of paper and Winston eyeing the pan of chicken hungrily.

Twenty minutes passed.

“Well…” Waverly didn’t want to start eating without Nicole, but the food was growing cold and the children restless. “I guess we should start eating, but go slowly so that we won’t be completely finished when she gets home.

Together, the four began to eat. Waverly tried to avoid looking at the empty plate next to her, but she couldn’t resist a longing glance once in awhile.

Waverly was the last to finish eating. Her chicken had long since turned cold, and the children had already run back to Willow’s room to play. Wynonna cleared her plate as she sat at the table, no longer hiding her glances at Nicole’s empty seat.

"I’m sure it’s nothing, Waverly. She got held up at a long call and she’s running late, that’s normal for a police officer.”

“But not her, Wynonna. She would call or something.”

“Maybe she can’t use her phone, maybe she broke it,” Wynonna put her hand on Waverly’s shoulder. “Like she tells you everyday, she’s always coming back.”

Not a minute later the door opened. Waverly heard a pained yelp and rushed toward the door.

“This little fella was one of the poor babies at a puppy mill I busted earlier,” Nicole said breathlessly as she set the wriggling bundle on the ground. “I couldn’t just leave him. The rest of the puppies are at the station in a pen I set up, but this little guy needed someone to patch him up, so I brought him home.”

The worried knot in Waverly’s stomach disappeared, immediately filling with adoration not only for the golden retriever puppy in her living room, but for her caring wife that brought him home.

Hearing the commotion, and the bark, the kids tore into the room.

“You brought home a puppy Aunt Nicole?” Winston asked incredulously, kneeling down near the blanket, but not quite touching it.

“Yes, but this puppy is hurt, so we need to be very careful with him,” Nicole responded, kneeling next to him and moving the edge of the blanket so the kids could see the pup’s swollen foot.

“Can we name him? Please?” Willow asked, her voice rising in pitch as she spoke.

“I want to name him Batman!” Winston said.

“You can’t name him Batman! It’s a dog. I think we should name him Oliver!” Willow responded.

“Why don’t you two go figure out a name in the other room and let us talk, okay?” Waverly suggested, gesturing her hand toward Willow’s room. The children ran out of the room, still bickering.

“Nicole I’ve been worried sick about you all day, ever since I saw you driving away in your car this afternoon. Doc didn’t tell us where you were going and you didn’t show up for dinner and…” Waverly trailed off, and Nicole stepped forward to embrace her wife.

“I didn’t mean to worry you, Waves. I’m just busier some days than others. Plus I forgot my phone at the station when I went to the car, and I didn’t want to drive back and get it.”

Wynonna made a sarcastic gesture of her head, eyebrows raised. “Told you, little sister.”

Waverly shook her head and tilted her chin to kiss Nicole. “I’m just glad you’re back.”

“I’m always coming back.”
