Porsalynne hummed a small tune as she walked through the construction site for what would eventually be the business district of Avalon. It was simply amazing to see the scope of this project, and just how many people were willing to put their hearts and souls into making it a reality. She could see from how they worked that the construction crew and scientists were putting their all into this. It made Porsalynne's artificial heart swell with pride.
Cipher was back in his usual place, doing some sketching. Though he had been sent to supervise the island's construction, Cipher had decided to take his role one step further. He had begun sketching layouts for the various living areas and shopping districts, as well as other places. If this place was to be a paradise, then Cipher was determined to make it as beautiful as could be. He had been talking with the architects at length about placement and what could be used. Porsalynne had seen some of his sketches. She figured Hikari would be pleased with the work.
Right now though, Porsalynne had decided to go for a walk, to see how things were going. Everything was moving smoothly. Some of the restaurants, despite some of them still being built in places, had already fired up their kitchens, cooking for the workers. Porsalynne beamed. Avalon was going to be a wonderful place when this was finished. The various smells of food filled the air, and the female android breathed in deeply.
It was at that point that her stomach grumbled. She had been built from the top of the line synthetic organs, and as a result, required food. Not that she complained. She could enjoy the delicious flavours this world had to offer. She looked over and saw the nearest place, a McBoas. Strange to have a fast food franchise named after the president. But, having read on how the president was actually like, maybe it seemed fitting.
She walked in through the door (which hadn't been installed yet) and headed for the counter. A number of people parted, recognizing her from the Big Blu. She gave a small giggle, remembering Hikari's words about a fan club. She looked up, seeing the many, trying to decide what she wanted.

McBaos, where everyone came for a happy meal and left with a smile on their face. At least that was what the advertisements about the place usually said. In all honesty Reikiko had known most of the shops and stores out of her head, and due to the small size of the community pretty much everyone knew each other as if they were one large family. However, there was one special case that everyone... even those who simply visited the island had been aware of. One rather unique person who everyone had known even if by name alone. That person came in the form of a little silver-haired child who was said to have one of the most purest and innocent smiles one had ever seen before, to the point she was nicknamed 'The Cherub of Avalon'. In the end the name of a little angel like that suited her perfectly. Of course the name of that Cherub was... Reikiko.
She had just finished her training alongside Kaula, and with the Saiyan literally wasted from training, to the point she flopped down on the dojo floor and fell asleep when Reikiko decided to do the most logical thing to do after a training session: stuff herself with food. Of course she was not alone, she had a likeminded ally in the form of Kenny. Kenny was, in her opinion a large kitty but it seemed none agreed with her statement. Kind of understandable if one kept in mind he was a giant Siberian tiger that was now walking along the streets leading toward the plaza where the McBaos had been. The tiger continued its approach, almost like a horse amidst a parade, and amusingly enough the people visiting the commercial district were more or less in their usual meet and greet mood. Of course there was the occasional visitor whose eyes widened in disbelief and some even nearly soiled their pants at the sight of the tiger, but upon explaining the situation most seemed fairly convinced that as long as the little child was around and not upset the tiger was literally just one big kitty.
Of course Hikari was adamant about the fact that the tiger would stay near Reikiko at all times, in the end she had assumed there was something about the child's presence that pacified the tiger, and she really didn't want to test out her theory. Imagine what would happen if the tiger went on a rampage. Then again, she was already dreading the day Reikiko met an elephant... surely that thing wouldn't be able to become her pet... right? She couldn't help but smile in amusement as the child rode on the tiger, entering the McBaos, but it was at that point they spotted a familiar face near the counter. They had arrived just when the female android had finished ordering her possible meal, and if she turned around the right bizarre sight awaited her.
"..."
Reikiko had easily recognized Porsalynne, in the end she was one of the girls who frequently dwelled on the island so she knew her by name, and she seemed like a nice girl. Perhaps it was those reasons that Reikiko playfully raise a hand to the side of her head in a silly gesture akin to a salute while the tiger yawned lightly in a greeting, causing the people at the counter to laugh briefly while the child hopped off the tiger, leaving Hikari to approach the android with a smile on her lips.
"Don't ask, it's a long story... and yes it's not an over-sized kitten."
Grinning at Porsalynne she watched Reikiko attempt to describe her order by pointing at various pictures on the screen, a method that the one behind the counter seemed to had grown used to already since he was flawlessly taking her order. Not that it was that difficult to guess: Reikiko always ate some apple pie, apple juice and an apple for dessert while Hikari picked the famous Bao's Happy Meal and a salad to go along with her soda. And Kenny? Obviously Kenny ate 5 Max-sized hamburgers with double meat.
"How have you been doing Porsalynne, you and Cipher must be extremely busy now the first district is finished. I believe the final touches to the Dojo are being made as we speak?"
Hikari's tone was friendly and calm, almost akin to an elder-sister in nature. In the end she did have a certain family-like feeling with the fellow members of the Blue Banner Army. She had briefly turned her gaze sideways, looking at Reikiko with a smile as the child tried to balance the food on the long plate she had brought along. Even Kenny was trying to balance the plate that had some straws for their drinks and paper tissues to clean their hands after their meal that was left on his back. The two of them plopped down onto a chair, or rather Reikiko did while Kenny lazily flopped down beside her, purring happily as the child fed him his first hamburger.
"It's still a bit awkward to see her like this, but she seems to be recovering by the day. It was only a few weeks ago when she was still so devoid of life, and now she can already be so energetic again."
There was a certain irony in the fact that she sounded both happy and sad at the same time. Then again, it was kind of understandable, especially for Porsalynne if one kept in mind that Reikiko and Hikari had been known to have a relationship akin to Porsalynne and Cipher, in the end how would the female android have felt if Cipher couldn't remember her? Surely it must had been a painful thing to imagine.
"..."
Reikiko waved a hand upwards toward the two of them, motioning for both to join her at the table and eat their meals.
"Guess we might as well get to eat, before she ends up devouring my happy meal..."

Porsalynne had just received her order and was turning to find a seat when she saw Hikari, Reikiko, and Kenny entering the restaurant. The first thing most people would notice was that her tray was piled with food. Burgers, nuggets, fries, a large soda, and even a couple of pies. A rather large meal for the dainty android. Being an android, particularly one created with state of the art synthetic organs, Porsalynne was able to eat as much food as she pleased without gaining a single pound (a fact that many female officers of the BBA were jealous of). Combine that with the fact Porsalynne had an appetite to rival a Saiyan, and you have a rather interesting sight at meal times.
Upon seeing the trio, Porsalynne gave a warm smile, returning Reikiko's cute salute while holding her tray with one hand. She didn't seem surprised by the tiger at all. She had heard about Reikiko's new pet.
"No explanation needed. They look cute together." She giggled as she watched Reikiko and Kenny's little balancing act, before looking back to Hikari as she spoke to her.
"We've been doing well, thank you. Cipher's been very busy with the planning and landscaping. It's wonderful just how this place is coming along. I can't wait until it's finished. I think this will be the perfect home for us."
She listened to Hikari as she spoke about Reikiko's progress, watching the child as she started feeding her pet. She hadn't been around when she had first split, but she had heard what she was like. To see her so lively again made the android smile.
"That's wonderful news. I know it must be awkward for you, since you and the old Reikiko were, well, close," she blushed lightly, "Sorry. It's not my place to say anything. But she seems so happy with you, and the two of you are cute together. Reikiko couldn't ask for anyone better to look after her."
At Reikiko's beckoning, Porsalynne moved to join them at their table, setting her tray down. She sat opposite Porsallyne, happily munching away at her food as she watched her two companions doing the same.
"So Reikiko," she said cheerfully between bites, "How are you liking Avalon so far? This place is just absolutely amazing, and it's not even finished yet, don't you think?" She gave the little girl a heart warming smile. She knew Reikiko couldn't talk yet, but she figured the girl had other means to communicate with her. Porsalynne was finding herself drawn to this little girl, like an aunt with a cute niece.

A sheepish grin came from Reikiko at them being called cute, the child unwrapping the paper of the hamburger before placing it on the plate before Kenny, allowing the large tiger to devour the hamburger whole in a matter of seconds. Of course she had soon returned her attention toward her own meal, seemingly focusing on her apple pie and while taking small nibbles from it, altered among sips from her apple juice the girl listened toward the conversation the android was having with Hikari. They were initially talking about the construction of the island, and with the fact the island had reached its final stage of development it was rather easy to notice that both ladies were quite pleased by the progress that was being made.
"It's a wonderful sight to behold. Even as we speak the hovercraft technology is close to being ready for deployment, and the final residential district is close to finished. It will be just a little longer until the island will be floating around in all its glory. I'm sure you two will have a wonderful home in a peaceful environment like this. Maybe there will be even a little android child running around in the future?"
Making the teasing comment with a little wink Hikari watched Reikiko absently drink some more of the apple juice. Nevertheless, it seemed the subject had changed to something a little bit more sad, for the conversation had turned toward the focus of the distant past. When the child had started to unfurl another hamburger and brought it down to Kenny Hikari briefly closed her eyes to think about the words that were spoken.
"It's true that I and Reikiko were in a relationship. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that the Reikiko I love is still there somewhere. Besides someone has to take care of her to make certain she remains out of danger. At least she is more lively now, it was rather painful to watch over her at first."
She could still remember how heartbroken she felt when the child seemed unresponsive to anything and everyone, almost akin to a living doll. However, it was that curious encounter with Kaula that had stirred the first sparks of life in the child, and soon she had started to recover day by day. While she had yet to properly regain her memories, or speak since that day on Avalon where the child had spoken her first words since the splitting, it did make her wonder what would happen once Reikiko remembered everything. Would she remember her existence as a bio-android? Would she remember the events at West Capitol? Or would she still harbor the same love and affection she had for her at that time?
"!!!...!!!"
While the girl's words didn't reach the android, the bright smile on her face and the waving gestures with her hands at her surroundings clearly conveyed what needed to be said. She was genuinely happy to be at Avalon. Not only was it a peaceful place, but the people were friendly and caring. Especially the moment she pointed at Hikari and Porsalynne and nodded with that same innocent smile from before one could understand that what made the place even more awesome was the fact that they were there. Her precious friends and beloved ones.
A little growl came from beside her as Kenny had just finished another hamburger, clearly wanting to get another one fed, to what the child grinned sheepishly, unfurling the third hamburger and fed it to the tiger once more. To Reikiko this place was truly a paradise, and while she didn't knew the true nature behind its existence she was still incredibly excited to be there.
"It's surprising how many volunteers we have for the project. What reminds me, have you visited the Arcade before? They got a lot of interesting games there. In fact, little Rei here has been showing herself as quite a gamer. Not to mention some of the machines they have there truly help to keep one in shape, consider it an effective way to ensure that you'll lose those calories. Not that you have to worry about that huh? Clever little cheater."
Grinning sheepishly as she said that Hikari tried to lightly nudge the side of Porsalynne's body before turning her focus back at Reikiko, who having finished her meal was playing around with the large tiger.
"I'm worried about the words she spoke that day. It makes me wonder if her memories are starting to return. Depending on the nature of said memories this might be a good thing or a bad thing."
In the end it wasn't like Reikiko's past was all rainbows and sunshine. She had been a bio-android designed to become a weapon, and one could say she had committed a lot of crimes and wicked deeds to ensure she could accomplish her ambitions. How would such memories influence the innocent child? Would they threaten to overwhelm her, or would she revert to the old Reikiko? So many questions and uncertainties lingered around Reikiko's condition, and it worried Hikari a lot.
"Of course we can visit the Arcade another time, I imagine you might be a little bit busy with all the work going on. They say that behind every powerful hero there is an even more powerful wife, so I guess that means you must be even more stronger than Cipher."
Honestly she doubted that the saying went like that, but she did love to tease Porsalynne a little about her relationship with Cipher. Nevertheless, it was important to treasure the carefree and happy moments they all shared at a time like this, for who knew how long this joy could remain. Little was known yet about Yami no Reikiko, her ambitions or her whereabouts. Was she going to become a threat to them someday? Or was that Yami Reikiko something else? Perhaps there was more of the original Reikiko inside Yami Reikiko than they had seen at the timeless lookout...

Porsalynne smiled warmly at Reikiko's response. She was really starting to become fond of the little one. She blushed brightly though when Hikari joked about the possibility of children with Cipher. While they really couldnt really have children in the traditional sense (what with Cipher being a cyborg and she herself an android), the thought of being a mother did appeal to her. But how would it be done? Maybe she could ask Dr. Majar about it. Though she'd have to talk about it with Cipher. She was sure he'd make a great father.
Porsalynne blinked when Hikari mentioned the arcade. "I think I heard it mentioned once or twice, but I haven't been there myself." she smiled brightly, "But I think it's a wonderful idea. After we eat, we should all go down there. I don't really have anything to do today. And it would be wonderful to spend time with you all."
As she began to quickly finish her meal, a small thought popped into her mind. "Oh, and Reikiko," she gave the girl a warm smile, "I almost forgot. I made a have a little something to give you. We can pop by my place after the arcade and I can give it to you." She managed to quickly demolish the last of her burgers, gulping down the remains of her soda and giving an almost smug smile to Hikari, showing some pride in being able to pack away so much food and remain as slim and pretty as ever.

(Sorry Cipher, but due to me doing a fusion I'll be ending our topic earlier than anticipated. I'll be requesting PL for this on Yami Rei)
