"I will," Deanna replied before a light smirk appeared on her face. "You and your boyfriend enjoy your time together."

" We will. " Carly said with a blush and said goodbye.

"Bye Carly," Deanna replied before closing her bishidex with a light grin on her face. Sometimes it was too easy to tease her older sister. Seeing that she was up, she decided that she might as well just stay up.

" Do you need help setting the table Tracy?" Max asked wanting to be of help.

"If you don't mind Max," Tracy replied. "So...is there anything going on between Carly and Alex? They seem closer than the last time I saw everyone," she asked a few seconds later.

" They just started dating. But don't tell her I told you. I think she and Alex are waiting a little bit to tell everyone. " Max said in a whisper.

"Told me what?" Tracy asked with a light grin. "But thanks for letting me know Max," she added.

" I'm back." Carly said and hoped she hadn't missed anything.

"Welcome back," Max replied with a light grin. Seeing the rosy tint on her friend's cheeks, she assumed that Deanna had been teasing her.

" Breakfast is ready. " Tracy said with a smile and saw the tint on Carly's cheeks.

(TNT?)

( sorry. I'll fix it. I was supposed to be tint. )

(ah, gotcha)

"Dea teasing you again?" Max asked out of curiosity "And morning, Ark," she added a few seconds later.

"Yeah, but I deserve it ." Carly said with a grin on her face.

"Morning everyone," Ark replied with a light grin.

"Morning. Ready for some food?" Tracy said and out the last dish on the table.

"Food sounds wonderful right now," Alex admitted, only punctuated by the loud growling of his stomach.

Carly giggled and sat down and was happy that Artie was alright. She was looking forward to seeing what abilities her friend had now that she was human again.

Alex sat down as well as his various Bishies entered the kitchen area as well. He was glad to see that all of them had understood what was going on and that speed was of the essence. He just hoped that he never had to push Angelus like that ever again.

Max was glad that breakfast was served since it had been a day since she had last eaten. She wondered when they would be going back to meet up with the others.

Jean was glad to see Artie alive and well as she got her breakfast, the others doing so as well. She could already tell that Artunia was a swordswoman just by the way she held herself.

" How is everyone liking breakfast? " Tracy asked after a while. She knew they would need to go back soon. But hoped they would comeback for a visit.

"Breakfast is wonderful Tracy, thank you" Yugito said as Rikku and the others nodded.

"What she said," Alex replied. "Also...I'm sorry that I couldn't have called you ahead of time about all of this," he added.

" It's great. Tracy.Thank you very much." Carly said with Max and Artie echoing her words.

"I'm glad you all enjoyed it."Tracy said with a grin and wondered when the group would be heading back.

"Carly, do you think Jean could spar with Artunia? I think both ladies would enjoy it," Alex asked as he saw how Jean looked towards the swords woman.
