"You should have seen it in 3D," Seth said. "It looked like you could just reach out and touch it all. Right before you choked to death, but still." He shook his head. "If they can figure out a way to make it work, I would be very pleased."

"I'm usually a movie-talker," Andy said. "I'm not sure I even breathed through most of that movie. I know I didn't move. As far as I can tell, though, the only things they would have to work around are the air and gravity differentials. The air is denser because of the hydrogen sulfide, and the gravity is lower."

Seth nodded. "Well I'm sure they can find a way around that. I mean all they have to do is some genetic tinkering, which it looks like they've done already, and the Pandorans will get used to the gravity here once they're actually here. In theory, not too hard. Maybe they will set up a mini Pandora soon."

"I get the feeling it's one of those easier-said-than-done things," Andy replied. "But who knows, one of these days the world might expand again and we'll find a Pandora territory or something."

"That would be great," Seth agreed with a grin. "But in the meantime we may as well enjoy what we already have here, which is also great."

Belle laughed. "True, that," she said with a smile. "Come on. Let's go get you a bishi. You have anyone in mind?"

"Well from Fringe, I guess either Peter or Walter Bishop. From Supernatural, one of the two brothers. And I'm a little rusty on Warehouse 13 so I'd have to see when we get there."

"I've wanted a Claudia from Warehouse 13," Andy said. "I need someone who won't get offended when I decide to be a smartass, and someone who understands technology so when I speak of things like wires and circuits, I don't get blank stares."

Belle nodded her agreement. "Yeah. That's what Peter Bishop is for." She grinned and continued down the road.

"Say, have either of you ever wanted to see a bishi city?" Seth asked.

"I was curious, for a little while. It's natural, since it's forbidden. But I managed to get Eclipse to tell me they're basically no different from our cities, just more protected. So really nothing strange there." Belle shrugged.

"Pretty much the same for me," Andy said, "except I wormed the answer out of Sess. After that, it's pretty much like you know they're there, but you have no reason to look for them."

Belle nodded. "Basically."

"Ah." Seth nodded as he walked between the two. "How common is it for trainers to have chibis?"

"Well, that depends. It's not often that trainers catch chibis, with or without permission from the parents. Chibis are very well guarded. Sometimes you can get permission, and sometimes you'll end up with a chibi if you have two bishis who, ahem, like each other."

Seth grinned briefly at that.

"Like, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Temmy and Li Li ended up with an egg or something," Andy added. "Well... No, it would surprise me, but only because I have no idea where they would go for privacy. But I would still need their permission if that happened."

Belle nodded. "Yup, that sounds about right."

Seth chuckled and shook his head. "Well, certainly doesn't seem like it will be boring here."

"Never."

"Every so often, you'll have one of those 'god I love this place' moments," Andy said. "I always forget just how good life is here, but every so often, it's like one of those Discovery Channel splash pages. You know, those 'the world is just awesome' ones?" She grinned. "Those."

Seth laughed a little. "This definitely sounds like the right place to have one. It's like being an addict, only instead of going to Addicts Anonymous you get shoved into a world full of things for your addiction."

Belle laughed at that. "That is more accurate than you know."

"Seriously," Andy agreed. "I've been into anime since I was five, and I'm not even one of the hardcore trainers. There are people here who will catch entire sets."

"No kidding?" Seth shook his head. "That's got to be a lot."

"Oh yeah," Belle agreed, nodding. "It's all fun, though. And lots of people here are nice. You'll be fine, don't worry about it."

Seth nodded. "Well I'm glad I met you two and not some stark raving lunatic," he said with a smile.

"Well how do you know we're not?" Belle joked.

"We're all mad here," Andy teased. "Elsewise, nothing here would make sense. We've all got to be a little mad for this place to work, right?"

"I guess that makes sense." Seth shook his head, amused.

"A little? We, you and me, go over a little, darlin'." Belle grinned as she slung her arm over Andy's shoulders.

Andy laughed.

"Life would be boring, elsewise," she said, grinning. Leaning over a little, she murmured into Belle's ear, soft enough she figured that the bishies couldn't hear her, at least not clearly, "Have you noticed both Sess and Eclipse acting strangely lately? We can discuss it later once we've made camp."

Belle nodded slightly before she looked at Seth again. "Come on. Let's see how close we can get to Fringe territory before nightfall. I get the feeling we'll have to have a somewhat regular hiking schedule for him until he's used to it all."

"That would be much appreciated," Seth agreed with a smile.

"Normal hiking schedule sounds good to me," Andy replied. "Depending on when we reach the Fringe territory, Warehouse 13 should be a few days after that. At least, according to the map." Once they stopped for the night, she and Belle could figure out what was going on with their bishies.

Belle nodded and started hiking. When they finally stopped for the night she turned to grin at Seth. "Any blisters yet?"

"I'm sure I've got one by now," he replied, wincing as he sat down. "God, woman. You push a cruel pace."

"I know." Belle shrugged and snagged Duo and Thomas as they passed. "You two, take care of him. And no complaining. I'll give you ice cream later."

Duo brightened immediately at the prospect of ice cream and went over to Seth, plopping down in front of him and starting to chat immediately. Thomas gave her a long look before he joined the other bishi and soon-to-be trainer. Belle turned to Andy with a grin.

"It wasn't that bad..." Andy commented. "You get used to hiking after a while." She gestured to Lucivar and Lawrence to help set up camp. Then she turned back to Belle and grinned as well.

"Eclipse, you're in charge," Belle said, moving a little ways away from the camp so she could talk to Andy in private.

"So you noticed it too, huh? Sess and Eclipse acting weird. I mean, Eclipse is normally protective, but this is over the top even for him."

"It's really bizarre," Andy agreed. "I mean, I've had Sess for nigh on four years, and he's never acted like this. And it started right around the time you and I ran into each other. He's never shown affection like that in front of other people before, and earlier I asked if he was jealous, and he almost looked guilty. But I have no idea why he would be jealous." She sighed. "It's so weird. And he and Eclipse have had almost the exact same expressions on their faces ever since we tripped over Seth, did you notice that?"

"Yeah, almost like he's... competition, or a poacher or something." Belle shrugged. "I don't know. It is weird. Eclipse never acts like this. Sure, he's been known to get close to me and be somewhat cuddly, but not like this. And I know for a fact he hates flying by any method but his own, so to stay with me before? Very odd."
