Bot in law {Cipher}

Maybe it was a psychological problem, maybe it was Tomoyo simply using his own mind to force him to hate vegetables, but Tomoyo felt like he was in hell right now. On one hand the pizza tasted amazing, the way the cheese melted in his mouth the the brisk, salty tasting pepperoni complimented its taste was to die for..... on the other hand though the mere presence and bitter tastes of the cooked peppers had the hybrid Human practically forcing himself not to vomit it back up mere seconds after each swallow.

Puffing out his cheeks in disgust and emotional distress, Tomo finally finished off his second slice before he called it quits. Relieved that they were done with their own portions and were conversing about some other experience of veggie related deception, Tomo leaned in to finish off his carbonated beverage and hopefully rinse away the taste of the horrible pepper toppings.

Well then, since you two were so good, you get to have the dessert bar. Dig in.

Ears perking at the mention of the desert bar again, Tomo's mood instantly brightened up as the child lifted back up his head to beam at Porsalynne. "Really!? Wow, Thank you ma'am!" Turning excitedly to Charlene, the tan eleven year old would wait and see what the similarly aged girl would get. She was an expert on deserts, right? By that logic, that'd surely mean Charlene would know what best desert to get, right?

Finally hearing the desert bar mentioned again, Tomo's eyes lit up in excitement as he practically vaulted over the table to the sweets filled haven. Following after Charlene like a love sick puppy, Tomo waited a few steps back to see what the girl would get on her own first. Eyes scanning over the numerous deserts once more, Tomo picked up a plate of his own before reaching his arms over his head to get to the quite distanced objects. Puling on a heaping of vanilla ice cream, the enthusiastic hybrid topped the masterpiece with chocolate chips, sprinkles, cookie crumbles, generous amounts of chocolate syrup and several mini brownies jammed into it like the ice cream head was suddenly growing baked goods as hair.

Heading back to the table quite satisfied and with a goofy grin on his smug face, Tomoyo plopped right back into his seat just about ready to dig in... before literally having his jaw drop in astonishment at the sight before him. If Porsalynne was chowing down before, the deceptively dainty Android was practically inhaling what seemed to be some of everything that the desert bar had to offer! Eyes scrolling down to his own ice cream heaven he had just barely even dented, the confused hybrid was simply dumbfounded. "Wha-Yo-..."

That's mom for you. She could outeat a Saiyan if she wanted to.

"Woah." Was all that Tomo could manage before he warily began eating his own desert once more. Charlene's comment may have been offhandedly, but it was a fact that Tomo could very well attest to; along with any other Majins or even a robot person! "She could outeat mom or Teku any day!"

Wait, Teku, as in Tekuma?

Pausing with a spoonful of ice cream frozen an inch in front of his gaping maw, Tomoyo turned his head to the side to face Charlene with a confused smile. They knew Tekuma too?! That was so cool, maybe they could help him find her! Putting down his spoon of desert gently, the excited hybrid was just about to respond to the little girl with his own excited questions on how she knew his older sister when her next comment turned his smile into a confused frown as he echoed the exact same words almost simultaneously.

"That's my sister! You know my sis? That's awesome!"

...

"...what?" Tomoyo finally uttered out as Porsalynne began saying something about parents or lunch or something, but Tomoyo's attention was entirely focused on Charlene. What did she mean!? "Um... I think you mean another Tekuma. Teku's tall and pretty and has red spiky hair and horns and is part robot too! Also she's my sister." Trying to calm himself over the obvious misunderstanding, the child couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows in irritation. She couldn't mean his Tekuma right? She was his sister! And plus they didn't even look anything remotely similar!

Okay, if Tomoyo hadn't already been sitting down, he would have definitely had to have taken a seat due to what was enfolding in front of him. "So wait, you're Tekuma's sister too? That makes you my sister, which makes you my mom because Teku's my sister but then my mom is my mom so would you be my aunt, but then wouldn't you be my cousi-.... uuuuuuugh~" Tomoyo's eyes were practically spinning in their sockets as the confused hybrid started getting a headache.

"This is confusing..." So wait, did that mean that Tomo liked his SISTER!? Ew, he couldn't even begin to comprehend how gross that was, not to mention weird. Driving his brain away from that fact, the relatively bungled half Saiyan's brain instead focused in on another fact that Charlene had let slip in her raving.

After Tekuma's parents died, Mom and Dad took her in. It was kind of recent, but yeah, she's effectively my big sis.

"Wait? Teku's mom and dad are dead?" The child wondered in the back of his mind just why the red headed robo sister had never said that to him. Or maybe she did and he just forgot? ...what if she didn't and she told Charlene because she was a better sister? "Am I a bad brother? Did she tell Charlene because she loves her more than me? ...does Tekuma hate me?! Is that why she hasn't come back yet!?!?" Eyes tearing up at the confused thoughts started setting Tomoyo on a hysterical panic, the panicking half breed couldn't manage to do more than look back and forth between the two women with a wide eyed stare.
