~*~*~

Marcus: *jumps through the doorway, rubbing his butt* Bloody 'ell, Sparky! I told ys I was

Tis: *arches brow*

Cae: *chuckles* Yeah... well you've been stalling for the last two hours too, Sinner... times up. *follows him in and kisses him on the cheek*

Scarlet: *arches brow* Okay what's going on you two?

Marcus: *grumbles* We was out ridin', luv... couldn't rightly do it when I wasn't 'ere, could I?

Cae: No... but we've been home for almost two hours, you just wanted to do anything else so you didn't have to. Next is Sully. Marcus has something to say to you, Dee... Don't you Marcus?

Marcus: *growls* Told ya I's not apologizin' ta th' Temp. 'E owes me a soddin' apology first! *stubborn stare*

Cae: AND I told you, you WILL tell him no matter if he does or doesn't TONIGHT, and I mean it. *crosses her arms giving him her stubborn glare back*

Marcus: *growls and crosses his own arms* Will NOT! But I'll do it fer Rose. Th' Temp's on 'is soddin' own. *nods sharply*

Bear: *chuckles as he hears his newest mate and the clone still arguing as he comes to lean on the doorframe*

Marcus: Yer my Sparky an' I luvs ya, pet, but yer not my Mother an' ya don't get ta treat me like a bloody child! *glares, his butt still stinging from earlier*

Cae: Fine. Then I'll just go sleep in my room ALONE until you do. AND I won't be coming out for anything! *she says giving him more attitude*

Marcus: *growls more* Fine! Do that!

Cae: FINE I WILL! *sniffles as she's about to cry, turns and runs out of the room*

Marcus: *looks at Scarlet* I's sorry I scared th' Temp, Rose-luv. Didn't know 'e'd get so bleedin' disturbed. Just wanted ta scare 'im a bit was all. Never figured 'e'd jack in ta th' 'puter an' I's sorry fer upsettin' ya, a'right? *shaky smile, watching Cae leave*

Bear: *sighs* Oh bloody 'ell... now ya did it now ya git.. *he sighs again trailing after her seeing if he can get her back out* Just what I's wanted ta do tanight.

*sighs* Thanks for finally telling me you had a part in it....how could you do that to him?

Marcus: *growls* 'e started it! 'e knows what 'e did an' 'e needs ta say 'e's sorry. *nods* An'... *sighs* didn't know 'e'd take it so 'ard, did I? *glances back at the doorway Cae disappeared through*

Scarlet: *shakes her head* It doesn't matter who started it. When you knew he was taking it so badly YOU should have told him that it was a joke.

Marcus: *blushes* Figured 'e'd tell ya what 'ad 'im so scared an' ya'd tell 'im it was all a big lie, luv. B'sides, I thought 'e'd see th' last page an' know then. *nods*

Scarlet: *sighs* he didn't tell me until I pushed... then when I saw the site I knew he'd never get to the last page. He didn't even make it past page 5. He was that scared...

Marcus: *sniggers, then swallows it* I's didn't know 'e plugged in, Rose; ya got ta believe me. I 'ad no soddin' notion. *looks sad* Ya don't really think I'd give 'im that sorta shock on purpose, does ya, luv?

Scarlet: That I do believe... neither of you knew about that... hell I didn't even until he showed me to bring back up the site.

Marcus: 'e may be a 'uge soddin' git, but 'e's m'Mate, right? Luv th' bloke, I does.

Scarlet: *nods, stepping over and rubbing his arm* Yes, he's our mate and I know you love him just like Tis and I do... that's why I don't know how you could do this to him... you or Bear. He's his best friend.

Marcus: An' I never really meant ta make 'im stay 'ome rather than goin' with ya an' th' other bloke. Just wanted ta give 'im a bit of a fright.

*sighs* We figured 'e'd look at th' site, not load it inta what passes fer 'is brain, Rose! An if 'e'd just LOOKED at it, 'e'd 'ave got ta th' end, an'... *frowns* Ya see what I'm sayin', pet?

We didn't KNOW. *looks sad*

Scarlet: *nods* I do... and I forgive you BUT only if you appogize to Sully too... no matter what he did it couldn't be as bad as what you two did to him... and Bear's already has. Tis made him. *nods*

Tis: Hey, leave me OUT of this. *shakes head* See me being all not involved? *pretends to be absorbed in sorting ornaments*

Scarlet: *laughs* mmmm..h..humm... sure you aren't. You were the one that made my mate confess and I'm very glad you did.

Marcus: *growls* 'E CRACKED MY SECURITY ON TH' WORKSHOP! *snarls a bit* Bloke shouldn't 'ave been able ta do that! AN' 'e went through my things there! *frowns deeply* Bloody prat.

Tis: *shakes head again, whistling to herself as she pretends to ignore them*

Scarlet: *arches brow* I don't believe Sully COULD do that even if he wanted too... are you sure you didn't leave it unlocked or that someone else didn't do it? Say... a certain clone with the ablity to do that sorta thing? *arches her brow*

Marcus: *grumbles* My security system is state of th' bleedin' ART! 'ow th' soddin' 'ell could th' TEMP 'ave cracked it? *growls* I's sure, Rose. Know th' git's scent, don't I?

Marcus:An' 'is stink was all over th' place. *nods* Just 'is. Not any others.

Scarlet: *nods* of course you do... but isn't it funny that he CAN do that? Think about it Marcus... I love Sully to death and I believe he can do a lot. BUT breaking in all by himself in to something so secure isn't one of his talents.

Either you left it unlocked or he had help I think.

Marcus: *frowns* It locks by itself, luv. Arms itself, too. I 'ave ta switch it off just ta get out m'self. *nods* An' I can't figure out who coulda 'elped 'im, if anyone did. MY system's better than that. *nods seriously*

Marcus: *growls* Are ya sayin' yer new bloke 'elped 'im? Misted 'is soddin' arse in there? *growls more*

Scarlet: *sighs* Fine.. .whateven but I still don't believe Sully did it all by himself...

Marcus: I'll bloody well kill 'im!

Scarlet: *blinks* What? NO Luc would never do that.... and if you touch him more on you will be frozen then you would like mister.. *she growls letting her eyes bleed red with anger at the thought of anyone harming her husband*

Sully: *growls from the doorway, his game face fully out* Y' touch Obie an' ther' won' be 'nuff 'lef' 'f y' t' clean up wit' mor'n a MOP, Cloney! *growls*

Scarlet: *nods at her newest mate* Yesss.... there won't be.... *hold up her icy hand* lots of shiny pieces don't have much water...

Sully: *glares and stalks into the room, wrapping his arm around his petal's shoulders* Y' don' ge' t' touch Obie, git. EV'R!

Marcus: *snorts* As if I'd ever want ta touch th' git. But if 'e's th' one what 'elped ya break inta my PRIVATE workshop, 'e's goin' ta pay fer it! *glares right back at him*

Scarlet: *wraps her arms around his waist leaning in to her Tigger* Not everr..... harming the way you did was bad enough... but don't ever thing about ever really harming either of them....

Marcus: *growls* I said I was sorry, Rose! Didn't know th' git was goin' ta plug 'is soddin' BRAIN inm, did I?

Scarlet: No but you still hurt him. That's something you should tell him you're sorry for....

Sully: *frowns* An' who said I w's 'n y'r sodd'n' cell ou' ther', y'wank'r? Why'd I wan' 't muck 'bou' wit' y'r sodd'n' jew'lry, an'ways? *glares*

Scarlet: *nods* Yeah... what's to say he did.

Marcus: *growls* Smelled ya all over th' place, Temp... an' if ya wasn't there, 'ow'd ya know there was bleedin' jewelery there? *glares*

Scarlet: *I* don't know that for sure that he was there....

Sully: *blushes suddenly and mutters* Fergot 'bout m'scent, di'n' I? *pouts*

Scarlet: *blinks looking at Sully* You what... Tigger?

Sully: Nuth'n', petal. *glares at Marcus with his human-looking face* I's 'eard 'bou' 't, y' grea' pra'. *nods*

Marcus: *snorts* Liar. 'uge lyin' git. *frowns* Ya was there! Knows ya was an' ya knows it too. *nods sharply*

Scarlet: *sighs* I can't believe you were there.... how in the hell did you get in?

Sully: *quivers lip* Y' don' b'lieve Cloney th' Wund'r Gi', does y', luv...? *gives her the puppy eyes hopefully*

Marcus: *nods* Yah, Temp... 'ow'd ya get past my security? *glares*

Scarlet: *sighs* You just admitted to it.

Marcus: It's a bloody perfect system! It 'as ta be beyond YA, so's 'ow'd ya do it?

Sully: *sniffles and blinks at Scarlet* I's di'n' 'dmit t' nuth'n', luv... th' bloke's gone sodd'n' nuts. *nods*

Marcus: *snorts and looks at Rose* Ya see what I 'as ta deal with, luv? 'e's a bleedin' trial, 'e is. *nods*

Scarlet: I heard you "you forgot about your scent", baby...

Sully: *blushes and sighs* Y' wasn' s'pos'd t' 'ear tha', petal. *pouts* Di'n' say 't ou' loud 'r an'th'n'...

Scarlet: I did...*blinks* How did I hear you if you didn't say it out loud.

Sully: *looks at her sheepishly* I's w's try'n' t' do summat nice f'r th' gi', petal...

Scarlet: *arches her brow*

Sully: *shrugs* Dunno, luv... bu' I's di'n' say 't aloud 'r Cloney woul' 'ave 'eard 't. *nods*

Marcus: *furrows brow* 'eard what?

Scarlet: *looks at Marcus* did you hear it?

Sully: *gives her a pleading glance* Nuth'n'. Righ', petal? *quivers lip*

Marcus: 'eard th' bloody Temp denyin' everythin', as usual. *glares at him*

Scarlet: *shakes her head knowing what to think about hearing what she did.* Nothing... *looks at Tigger knowing they will be talking about it later.*

Marcus: *growls* Ya see, Rose? 'e did it an' 'e's not goin' ta tell me 'ow! An' if th' soddin' TEMP can get in there, ANYONE can. An' that's bloody well frightenin'. *nods*

Sully: *smirks* Y' don' know ev'ryth'n' 'bou' me, Cloney... ev'n if y' 'S one 'f m'Mates.

Scarlet: *shakes her head* I don't think anyone can... really Marcus. I don't.

Sully: Bu' y' c'n stop worry'n' 'bou' y'r sodd'n' rocks an' bits 'f met'l, mate. Y'r bleed'n' CELL 's safe. *looks grumpy*

Marcus: *growls* 's not safe until I knows 'ow ta keep YA out, git!

Sully: *blushes and looks at the floor, then mumbles so softly no-one can make out his words*

Scarlet: *shakes her head* I don't know what's going on...

Marcus: *frowns* I don't either, Rose-luv... but if ya got somethin' ta say, Temp, ya needs ta speak up. *frowns*

Scarlet: *sighs, letting her hands go back to normal and her eyes as well as she leans against Sully* Do you have anything to say...

Sully: *pouts and speaks a little bit louder* I's said I's lift'd y'r r'mote f'r th' door. Th'n I's put 't back wh'n I's w's done. *blushes*

Scarlet: *sighs* Well that explains it...

Marcus: *looks both pissed off and relieved* Right, then. Ya need ta learn ta keep yer sweaty mitts off of other peoples' things, mate. *glares a bit*

Scarlet: *looks at Sully waiting for to say something*

Sully: *snorts* A' leas' I'S di'n' try t' scare y' t' death, y' wank'r. *frowns and glares, sudden;y remembering he's mad at Marcus*

Scarlet: Okay can the two of you say you're sorry and be done with it?

Sully: *shakes head stubbornly* I's di'n' do an'th'n' wrong, petal-mine.

Marcus: *narrows eyes* Yah...? Then neither did I, ya git. *glares*

Tis: *rolls eyes and finally steps in* ENOUGH!

Scarlet: You went in to Marcus private work space baby... and you. *looks at Marcus* Scared our mate to death. *sighs having her sister finally steps in* Thank Gods...

Tis: YOU *points at Sully* Should NOT have gone where you knew you weren't invited!

And YOU *moves her pointing finger to Marcus* Should NEVER have tried to scare Sully the way you did, no matter HOW funny you thought it would be OR how much you wanted to get back at him!

You've both been acting like children, and I swear if you don't stop I'm gonna lock you in the guest house and make you stay there!

AND I will personally see that you're both on Santa's NAUGHTY list, if you're not already!

Scarlet: *blinks*

Tis: Do you get me? *stares hard at them both*

Scarlet: Ohh.. and she means it too Guys... *nods* and I won't stop her.

Sully: *blinks and looks stunned, then sniffles* Bu' Pepp'r...

Marcus: But Sally...

Tis: *shakes head* NO. Just... no. Say you're sorry. BOTH of you. NOW! *stern gaze*

Bear: *sighs coming back in to lean against the doorframe again, having no luck with Cae - feeling worried and upset*

Sully: *pouts* Fine, pepp'r... *grumbles* Mean ol' pepp'r... I's sorry f'r go'n' int' y'r poncey workshop, Cloney.

Scarlet: *tries not to giggle as he called her that with the look on his face*

Tis: *frowns* And?

Sully: *sighs* An' I's won' do 't ag'in. Ev'r.

Scarlet: Good... and how about you Marcus?

Tis: Good. And now YOU. *nods at Marcus*

Marcus: *rolls eyes, but is sincere when he speaks* I's sorry fer scarin' ya, bloke. Didn't mean fer it ta hit ya so 'ard. An' I wouldn't 'ave done it if ya 'adn't trespassed, but I shouldn't 'ave done it. A'right?

Scarlet: *arches her brow not too sure she like it* Is there anything else you'd like to say?

Marcus: shifts impatiently, wanting to go find Cae and tell her he did what she wanted* Fine, Rose... I won't do it again, a’right? Nothin' with squirrels, in any case. *sly smirk*

Scarlet: *nods* That's better... and I accept your apology now. No... NOT at ALL Marcus.*glares at him*

Bear:*gives his mate a look as he moves nervously against the doorframe*

Tis: *sighs* I think that might be the best we're gonna get, sis. However, if he does anything TOO bad, I won't stop you from freezing his danglies BLUE. *nods*

Marcus: *pales*

Scarlet: *grins wickedly* Good... Cause you know I will... he's just lucky I didn't this time.

Marcus: A’right. Nothin' that'll scare th' ponce, Rose. Promise,

Scarlet: Good.

Marcus: *looks at Bear and furrows brow questioningly* Sparky?

Bear: *sighs* Right where she said she'd be and she's not comin' out for soddin' anythin'. Right moody and pissed she is.

Sully: *smirks and holds his petal closer to his side* *mind-mutters* Migh' 'ave t' pr'ten' t' be scared jus' t' see tha'...

Marcus: *frowns* Right, then/ We done 'ere? *looks at the others then nods* Later, luvs... 'ave a wee fae chit ta drag outta 'er funk.

Scarlet: *blinks then looks at him* Did you... *she whispers to him*

Sully: *cocks head* D'd I's wha', petal-mine?

Scarlet: *nods at Marcus and waves him off to join Bear* Go... find Cae I'll see you later. Love you but I will do what I promised if I have to.

Tis: *shakes head* Go take care of damage control, baby... and remember, all of this could have been avoided. *nods sharply as he goes*

Marcus: *growls and feels in his pocket for his lock picks* Right, then. Let's get to it, bloke.

Bear: *sighs* Good luck... *follows him up the stairs*

Marcus: *smirks* Don't need luck, mate. Got my tools. *proceeds to kneel down by Cae's door and pick the lock* Ya ready, mate? Cover yer 'ead.*opens the door and dives to one side, just in case*

Cae: *throws both of her high heeled boots at them but misses* I SAID GET OUT UNTIL HE'S APPOGOZED!

Marcus: *catches one boot and eyes it* Stunnin', Sparky. Ferragamo, right?

Cae: I'm not talking to you if you haven't said you're sorry. And flattery isn't going to work this time for EITHER of you.

Marcus: *rolls eyes* Bloody 'ell, Sparky! Yer as bad as Glarey in a snit!

Marcus: An' I's DID apologize ta th' git, so there!

Bear: *chuckles shaking his head on the other side of the door*

Cae: *huffs crossing her arms as she sits in the middle of the bed with her pillows all bunches up and her eyes rimmed red* Bear did you hear him?

Bear: *nods* I's did... *he says coming out in to view*

Marcus: *leans back against the wall, arching one brow at her* Does that mean ya don't trust me ta tell ya th' truth, Sparky? B'cause if that's th' case, I's don't know what I's even doin' 'ere.

Cae: *sniffles again then starts to cry before burying her face in to the pillow*

Marcus: *groans* Bloody 'ell. *moves to the bed and lays down beside her, wrapping himself around her comfortingly* There there, Sparky... I didn't mean it. *rubs his cheek against her hair*

Bear: *comes in the room and sits on the bed beside her stroking her hair softly* C'mon ya know 'e did, luv...

Marcus: *nods* Yah, luv, I's sure. *holds her closer as Bear joins them*

Bear: 'ow about we's go over ta yer other room and all snuggle up there, lightenin' bug... we'll even stop and grab the little monsters on the way.

Cae: *nods looking at them* I'd... *sniffles* Can we?

Marcus: *nods* Yah, Sparky... ya might feel a bit more yerself if we went ta yer other room. *nods and kisses her hair softly* Besides, we's still need ta finish our day out, an' what better way than with a good bit of snugglin'? *smiles*

Cae: *nods again* okay... and I'm sorry for throwing things at you.

Marcus: *chuckles* We was kinda expectin' it, luv... or didn't ya notice 'ow we ducked? *winks*

Cae: *laughs a little bit, blushing* Well... I do tend to do that don't I?

Marcus: *grins* 's b'cause yer such a firey chit, Sparky... yer zappin' tendencies aside. *kisses her pink cheek* 's part of yer charm, that is.

Cae: *turns her head and kisses him then turn her head the other way and kisses Bear* Thank you both of you....

Marcus: *lays with them in Cae's other room, the softer shape of her pressed warm between him and Bear* Luvs ya, Sparky... ya too, ponce. *winks at Bear*

Bear: *kisses her forehead* luv ya with all my 'eart lightenin' bug... luvs ya too, ya git. *winks back*

Cae: *snuggles in between them, yawning* love you too.... both of you... *lets her eyes shut as she hugs them both close praying for her wife's return as well*
