Nadia woke up hearing someone screaming; she looked around then saw that Tali wasn’t there. She got up to try and find her looking around the couch for her. When she found her she picked her up then said “Tali, Tali are you alright?” She was worried about her, she had heard screaming and then woke up to screaming and now Tali was on the floor.

Slowly Tali came to, clutching Nadia when the feeling of weightlessness took her. Eyes still wide with terror, Tali looked around, trying to remember where she was. Then it came rushing back to her. Tearing up, it wasn't long before Tali was full-blown bawling. Yelling fit to wake the dead, she buried her face in the bigger girl's shoulder, soaking it quickly with tears.

Several reasons existed for her fit, first among them being the nightmare she had just had. Take that and combine it with a cold, clammy diaper and a serious migraine, and you get one cranky child, especially when they're the size of a toddler. Her saliva-coated pacifier hang limply over Nadia's shoulder, largely forgotten by the bawling child. In essence, she was really just waiting for Sissy to make it all better.

Nadia watched at Tali woke up and watched as she looked around the room in terror and then as she started bawling her eyes out into her shoulder. Nadia hugged Tali and held her close saying "Tali, it's ok don't worry everything is alright." She let her cry a bit more then stood up and walked back over to the couch and sat down still holding Tali close. After a few moments of Tali still crying Nadia asked "Tali whats wrong? What happened?" Her voice was calm for the fact that she knew that talking louder then Tali would probably make her more scared and that it would probably wake the others up.

For once Nadia's hug didn't cure everything. If anything, it only increased her tears. Still bawling, she somehow managed to choke out a less-than-clear answer. "My head hurts, and my diaper's cold," she said in a rush, barely stopping to take a breath. Of course, she didn't mention the nightmare. That would still be too embarrassing. After a few more minutes of crying her eyes out, Tali managed to dwindle her cries to little more than sobs. "C-Could you ch-change me, Sissy?" she asked, stuttering slightly behind the sobs.

Nadia held onto Tali as she spoke then stood up carrying her saying "Of course I will." She walked over to her bag and then got the things that she would need to change Tali and then carried them up to the bath room. She laid Tali down and un zipped the sleeper she was in then just pulled off the legs. She took the diaper off of her and whiped her clean making sure that she was clean. She then took the clean diaper and laid it out under her and then took the baby powder and applied it to the diaper then put it on Tali. She then put the sleeper legs back on and zipped it up and cleaned up the diaper and the whips. She then picked up Tali again along with all of the things and went back down the stairs to the couch and laid Tali down saying "I hope that is alright and I don't know what to do about you head I am sorry." She smiled softly then went to put the things away.

Tali blinked at Nadia's answer; truly something she had not expected. She endured the change though, still sniffling, if not crying. When Nadia opened the sleeper, she blushed, looking away for a moment. Then the diaper was opened, allowing the cool air to touch Tali's damp waist. Shivering slightly, Tali was unprepared for the cold wipe, the touch of which caused her to jump and shiver again. The powder caused her to sneeze as a small cloud made its way to her face, but Nadia applied a little bit more powder than necessary to the fresh diaper. Then the diaper was taped up snugly, covering her privates with smiling Sesame Street characters again.

Grinning up at Nadia through red-rimmed eyes, Tali gave her a hug, squeezing as hard as she could, which was to say not very hard at all. "Could you check Hino's medicine cabinet for some Tylenol?" Tali said. "Even if it's not the children's kind, I can still have some if it's a small enough dose."

hino came out of his room, rubbing his head. then walked down stairs. "What the hell was that about?" he asked. "Whats wrong tali? are you hurt?"

Nadia smiled at Tali then said "Sure", she was about to go check Hino's cabinet when he showed up. Nadia smiled then said "She's fine, but do you have Tylenol? Tali has a headach that's about it." She smiled then said "Then you can go back to bed because by the sounds of it you need to get some rest." She looked at Tali and smiled at her.

"Yea. I keep some and hte baby stuff o, ya know, in case of emergencys..." he said. "Bathroom is on the second floor, first door to the left." he said, yawning.

Cali heard something going in the house but was sure it was something minor where his help wasn't needed. He was slightly awake so he heard it then the dosed off after seeing that his cousin was still unharmed past what she had when he found her, she may wake to a sore back though.

Nadia smiled then said "Thanks Hino." She turned then headed up the stairs and back into the bathroom going into the cabinet. Rummaging around for a moment she found the bottle, taking it out she quickly read the dose then headed back down the stairs. Reaching Tali she took the cap off and handed it to her saying "I don't know how many you are supposed to take."

Nodding weakly at Nadia's mention of sleep, Tali crawled back onto the couch, her diaper still obvious under the sleeper as it stretched. When her Sissy came back with the pain reliever, Tali looked over the bottle, seeing the children's label, before answering. "Just one," she said. "But could you mash it up and put in a bottle of juith?" Tired as she was, Tali didn't notice the lisp that had crept its way into her voice, causing her to slip up on juice.

Nadia smiled then said "Sure", she took the bottle of pills back then went over to Tali's bag to get a bottle. Pulling one out she then headed into the kitchen. She walked over to the fridge and looked around for juice thinking that was what Tali had ment. Finding some she pulled it out and poured it out into the bottle then put it back. She took one of the pills out of the bottle and then put it on the counter closing the bottle back up. She then thought of something to mash it up with. It was a solid pill not one of those liquid gels or anything so it wouldn't get all over the counter when she cut into it. Se then searched for the utensils. Finding it she pulled out a knife and cut the pill in half before using the side of the kife to crush it up. SHE then took all of the crushed pill and put it in the bottle of juice and closed it. She shook the juice a bit so that all of the pill wasn't resiting at the bottom and picked up the pill bottle and walked back to Tali. She handed her the bottle and smiled then said "I think you ment Juice so that is what I found." She then turned adn went back up the stairs to put the pill bottle back where she found it then returned and sat on the couch.

Taking the bottle with a smile of gratitude, Tali moved it towards her mouth when Nadia mentioned not knowing what she had meant. "What did I thay?" she asked, again oblivious to the lisp. Looking over the pink teddy bear designs on the bottle, Tali began suckling, creating a soft sound as she inhaled and exhaled past the bottle.

When the liquid touched her tastebuds, Tali grinned again. White grape juice was her favorite! Nadia couldn't have known that, but she was glad Hino had some available. Still sitting against the arm of the couch, she waited for Nadia to lay down so she could join her. The nightmare was still vivid in the little girl's mind, and she didn't want to be far from her Sissy.

Hino looked out the window, and saw Dawn Breaking "hmm....-yawn- I better go wake Cali.....Suns coming up.....and its gonna be a very busy day...." he said. "Take showers, then go to the Dinning hall. Il make breakfest." he said, then got up and went upstairs.

Nadia smiled at Tali then said 'I sounded like jucie but it had a bit of a lisp to it." She had just laid down when she heard Hino saying to get up as it was almost dawn. She sighed then said "It is so early though Hino why can't we sleep in then leave I mean we can't leave until me and Tali get back anyways." She didn't bother sitting up again though seeing as she just wanted to sleep a bit longer.

"Sleep in the car......I can go without a bit of sleep.....You three might need the rest you can get....." he said, pushing them awake" Now....go and get dressed and washed.....also get to the dining room, Im gonna make breakfest, somthing to keep you filled up." he said, then left the room.

Nadia sat up then said "You don't get me and Tali have to be somewhere at 10 so we can't really go anywhere yet." SHe stood up then looked at him saying "Fine I'll get ready but we can't go anywhere." She then grabbed her things then looked at Tali and back at Hino saying "Leave her alone and why don't you go wake Cali up."

"We dont have time to waste. we all agreed to go to the temple of Fate today. if you had plans, why were they not mentioned before? we could have Easily reshedualed." he said

Nadia looked at him and smiled saying "We would have mentioned it but it slipped our minds so we can leave after it probably wont take long." She didn't really want to tell Hino where they were going seeing as it was something that Tali should tell them if she wants .

((Tali's asleep right now, if you were waiting for me. :3 Are you guys planning on doing a time-skip?))

((yeah, i'd say so so that all of us are sure that we're on the same page.))

{I was waiting for Andraus really I knew that you two were asleep ^-^}

[well, unless tali has a planned a big eye-opener for their appointment, we could skip towards the time we are on the paln to Vneluza, towards the temple of fate.

((I was planning on revealing a lot more about Tali's past. :) But you said it's dawn, which is at least an hour and a half from nine, which is when the appointment is. That's why I offered the time skip. P: ))
