Hee hee hee.

"Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about,
so that may not be my actual opinion."

Sensible.

Asa Pillsbury seems to have been a wise man.

The Clinic's garage was huge.�� A former barn, it had become a {catch all 

: catchall} for

everything the clinic had accumulated over the years. Desks, chairs, 

tools, {: shoes,}

stacks of wood, equipment, and boxes of who knew what. The walls were 

made of

thick stone and the roof of wood topped with slate. At some point in the
past, somebody had covered the inside of the barn with insulation and 

then

wood over that, making in cool in the summer and theoretically (she 

hadn't

tested that part yet), warm in the winter.

Why would she want it any warmer?� I'm sure the first thing she put in
was airconditioning.

Even Amy Lynn has a cold tolerance.

At the moment, she, Rayelene, and Bunny sat in the library section of the
loft.

"GRAAAAAGHHHH!" Bunny screamed into the heavy gag clenched in her teeth 

as

she flinched, breaking the eye contact she had been holding with Rayelene 

in

a decidedly unfriendly staring contest.

I had been wondering how Rayelene and Bunny managed to be in the same
room without an explosion.

Heh.

"Sure they do," Amy Lynn said, looking up from her work. "I..." she 

trailed

off as she saw the looks Rayelene, Bunny and Luna were giving her. "Don't
they?" The other three shook their heads. "{But...mom : But... Mom} 

said..." Her hands shook

and Raylene came over and took the applicator from Amy Lynn's hand.

Finally an indication that Amy Lynn catches that she's not perfectly
normal.

"She said that there was nothing wrong with me. That I was just as smart 

as

anybody else. Even when I made the neighbor's dog talk. I didn't 

understand

why they were so shocked, all I did was feed {: it : him : her} a formula 

that let {it : him : her} grow a

Yeah, but will it stick?

voice box. I'm normal..." Amy Lynn stared at the others, the shock, 

surprise,

and the truth plain on their faces. "Normal, I tell you," Amy Lynn tried
again, willing herself to disbelieve their expression. "I'm not a 

freak..."

Her breath came in short gasps. "There's nothing wr--wrong with making 

robots

out food supplies...it's completely normal to build five megawatt lasers 

out

of trashcans. It is!" Her voice had risen to a shout. "I'M NORMAL, 

DAMNIT!"

and for one moment, Amy Lynn changed. �

Is Normal her Dark Kingdom form's name?� It's just been a simple
misunderstanding :}b

No. She's just denying her unusual nature.

Now it also sounds like Janice is more aware of Ami's special nature
than it appeared before.

::Innocent expression::

"Yes, yes," Malachite said, waving a hand {dismissivly : dismissively}, 

"but what were they?

Who and what species were they that rutted with one of Janice's 

ancestors? It

wasn't our light side cousins, it sure as hell wasn't the Fae, it tasted 

all

wrong for a {Divinity : divinity}, and {Dwarves : dwarves} simply don't 

have that kind of power."

"Dragons?"

"They hate the humans, and everyone else, for that matter."

Even with catsup?

Wise dragon say: Mating with your food lead to something bad.

USANetConnect has email???

Even more scary? Its *working* e-mail.

That makes the mythology the princess and priestesses come from much
clearer.

Yeah. I was actually inspired at least in part by Lemon Author Sailor Mac 

who wrote stories where the Scouts had a...close relationship with their 
patron deities. While there won't be any of that, I thought I'd play with the 
concept a bit.
