“Mmmm...” Warren pursed her lips and examined the rough ceiling of the stables as if the answer was hidden there. “We can be the... Training Team. Or the Cloud Crowd cause we fly a lot? Actually no, those are terrible.”

The Boomerang Squad (Season 3 Flashback)

(Takes place after the Sledding Thread)

Grey led her Night Fury and her best friends back to the rebellion camp. As much as she wished they could sled down that hill forever, she knew that duty called at some point. With the King still being possessed by the Warden and the Warden’s mother wandering around, one would never know when action was to be taken. Besides, they seemed to safe in the stables, so that was where they would continue to hang out. 

As soon as they came back to the stables, the girls and Greg sat in the hay under a few blankets for some warmth. None of them bothered to say anything. It was clear they were all exhausted from watching Grey and Warren’s argument earlier and from sledding, but that was okay. As long as they were together…

Lila squealed in delight and patted Grey's face with small chubby hands. She covered her own face with her fingers. "Aunt Grey, guess who!"

The Boomerang Squad Gals! (BOTGD EU/Coronation EU)

The Chief walked among the party guests taking a break from the dance floor as she realized that she had not seen her adoptive sisters all day. People kept pulling her aside to congratulate her and ask her questions. Relatives cooed over how grown up she looked, but she didn’t mind. She hadn’t seen Asha and Warren since the ceremony and was determined to find them. 

Soon enough, she finally found Asha, Warren, and their two daughters…her nieces. There was five-year-old Siri and three-year-old Lila playing as their mothers watched. Grey suddenly had an idea. She crept up behind the two little girls but not before quickly shushing Asha and Warren and placed each of her hands over the little girls’ eyes.

“Guess who!” she said cheerfully.

"THIRTY!" the siblings said in unison. Lila rocked forward on her toes. "Okay, Kettil, I'll go around the back of the house, you head to that big tree Jari likes." They separated and started the search. lbigreyhound13 son-of-eric

Sick Day (2)

[p1]

The Ericson family (sans Jari) appeared in the doorway of their home, the siblings running forward with shrieks of delight to meet their cousins. Warren stepped forward to meet them as well, beaming. “Hi Sven! Hi Dagny, hello there Kari-” she touseled Sven’s hair and kissed Kari on the top of the head, then hugged both Grey and Brandt in turn. “Welcome!” She brushed a strand of hair out of her face with a flour-streaked hand. “Come in!” lbigreyhound13 son-of-eric

ITS THE WEEKEND AND I GOT TIME

YEEEAH

[pookan-viking-blog]

Warren knocked on the door again and again after a brief hesitation it swung open. Warren spoke before the woman could open her mouth. "I, umm, Is your name Rynnaelda Alvarsson?" The woman's grip shifted on the door and her eyes narrowed. "Why?" The halfbreed fidgeted. "M-my name is Warr- my name is Aneeki and a long time ago I was left in the care of the Pookan warren of Aeastir." Rynnaelda's hand left the doorway and curled into a fist against her chest. "...Oh my gods." She stepped away from the door and called behind her. "Lorand!!" Her eyes were wide when she turned back to the three. "Please come in."

"Are you nervous?"

The little cottage was modest and battered, only large enough to comfortablyhouse two or three people at most. It was the sort of place that she could imagine being found, decayed and overgrown, by some traveler in a distant future. Are they… they’re really here? …This is is where my parents have been all this time?

“Actually I…” Warren could feel all the recent years that had aged her being sucked away until she was left a timid child on the threshold of what in another world might have been her home. “…I feel like I might throw up.”

(it was the only think I could think of!)

[pookan-viking-blog]

Warren took a deep breath. "...Okay. 'Boomerang', and we're out of there." She grabbed Grey's hand and they walked up the path to the door together. Warren let go and stepped forward, raising a shaking hand. It hovered for a few seconds in the air, then she swallowed and knocked. There was a tense silence, and then the door opened partially. A woman stood behind it, looking surprised and confused. She had greying hair that was almost blonde, hazel eyes, and a familiar nose. She seemed to be at a loss for words. "...Hello?" Warren slammed the door shut, then whirled around, eyes wide. "I'm sorry, I panicked!"

“Thirty!” Lila and Kettil finished in unison. 

Kettil bounced on his his toes, “Rrrrready or not, here we come!” and the two went shooting out of the house. 

“You check in the empty barrel! I’ll get the big trough out back!” Said Lila, and the two split up to look.

“I know, but...” Warren thought back to that night when she had first told Grey about hoping to find her parents in the blanket fort all that time ago. The idea of finding them was so much easier then than standing here now, frozen in fear. “They’re my parents, but I still don’t know why they were gone, or if they even wanted me to find them. What if... they’re disappointed? What if I’m disappointed?”

“That you are. The Lady of the United Revolutionaries,” Warren said importantly, stretching out her sore paws, “Grey Bergman, second in command to King Haddock himself.” She smiled playfully. “We’re all becoming old people.”

"I can't see my feet."

Grey shook her head smiling at Warren. Her best friend wasn’t lying. She had gotten large in the last few months of the pregnancy. Still that didn’t stop her from trying to hold in her laughter. It had been interesting seeing Warren go through her first pregnancy. 

“Well, you remember how big Asha got in the last few months when she was pregnant with Siri,” she said. “My mom says that the baby should be along any day now.”

[pookan-viking-blog]

“Yeah we will!” Kettil said, puffing out his chest. 

“Thirty seconds!” Lila shouted. “Ultimate Hiding Team vs Ultimate Finding team! Go! One... two... three....”

Warren regarded her round stomach thoughtfully, running a hand over its curve. “I’ve gotten used to it, but then sometimes it just hits me and suddenly it’s so weird, you know? We’re going to be parents. Greg and me. And a couple of years ago we were all adventurers fighting a war. Then I can’t believe it either.”

"I can't see my feet."

“Who wants to play hide and seek!” Kettil said as more of an announcement than a question.

“Only if I get to seek!” said Lila, tousling Kettil’s sandy hair into spikes as he swatted at her hand in protest.

“No way! You always find us too fast!”

“You can seek too if you waaant. C’mon!” Lila looked to her cousins for their opinions on the matter.

Warren eased herself into a chair with a tired sigh. “I hope so. If I get any bigger, I’ll be the size of Greg’s monstrous nightmare. No offense, Barry.”

"I can't see my feet."
