An RP with @TiramisuGrenouille !!!

(He's making excuses to himself cause that encounter was actually really painful for him…)
Skye slowed as he headed back to Megan's house. He had debated heading back and trying to find her, but he knew it was hopeless.

Rio walked slowly down the street, coming back he saw that Megan was home already and he sighed, heading in. Opening the front door carefully he realized he really felt like kicking the wall. Where the heck did you run off to Skye?? he asked himself for the millionth time as he headed into the kitchen. "Hey Megan."

"Hey." She said back. "…So…. Skye is still out there…?" Megan asked a bit quietly. I can tell he's clearly super upset….

"Yeah," said Rio "I have no clue where he went off to or why.. normally I wouldn't be too worried… but this isn't like him at all…"

Skye finally made it back to megan's house, and sat down on the edge of the roof overlooking her house. Why couldn't I stop her… Why did she leave??? He couldn't stop thinking about it as his heart ached with memories… Eventually he decided to hop down into the yard, slowly walking towards the door.

"I'm sure he'll come back…" Maybe…. She stood up. "But either way, I'm sure it was because he's been misplaced for too long. We have to get you guys back to your world before anything else happens." I don't know how much longer they can last here. They must be at least a little homesick.

"I don't think that's quite it.." said Rio thoughtfully, "But it might be a factor… I'm more concerned by the fact that he ran off at all… It just isn't like him to do that,"

Skye slowly walked up to the back door, sliding it open. He didn't even look up as he came in. He had tears dried on his face, and was clearly exhausted. He flopped down at the kitchen table and buried his head in his arms, quivering with tears.

"Skye???" Rio said with surprise.

Megan glanced up, noticing Skye crashed at the dinning table. "Skye!" She perked up. "What happened?" I don't mean to load the questions…. But… I would like to know.

Skye didnt answer, instead focusing on suppressing tears.

Rio put a hand on the other guy's back, "what the heck happened to you?" He asked softly. "Somethings up cause this is not the spunky street wolf I know."

Megan just sat back down. I guess I don't really have a say in this kind of thing… She relaxed a little, yet was still tensed up about what Skye was up to or where he went.

"Skye answer me" said Rio gently.

Skye managed a huffed sigh, "What?" he said it mentally, not trusting his own voice to speak. (NOTE: Both Rio and Megan can hear him.

"First off where were you today?" Asked Rio carefully.

"I- I had to search for someone…" said Skye sadly, "It was really important…"

Really important….? Megan sat back and crossed her legs, still a tad somber. But why didn't he leave a note if it was that important…. Or was it so sudden….? She kept quiet in fear of sticking her nose where it didn't belong.

"What could've been that important that you couldn't tell me or something??" asked Rio,

" I'm sorry Rio.. I never meant to worry anyone, but I couldn't risk losing track of the aura trail…"

"Aura trail?" Asked Rio,

" Yeah…"

"Who?"

Skye froze at that, "I don't know how I'm gonna tell Sirus and the others….. much less Storm.."

Megan shook her head. I can't be in this conversation…. This is sounding too personal to Skye…. Yet she was unsure if she could tune out.

"Who were you tracking?" Asked Rio,

"Mom…." he said it as if it explained everything. Which it did.
Rio gaped at Skye, unsure what to do. "She was here?" he said almost inaudibly…

Megan really didn't need to be involved in the conversation, since it was of a personal level, yet something told her she should listen just for a little bit longer. At the same time, though.

"I managed to catch her too…."

Rio listened in pure shock,

"But she left, deliberately making sure I couldn't follow her…" Skye finished, breaking down into tears of confusion at that, shying away from Rio's touch entirely.

Rio watched him with an air of shock more than anything, and confusion too.

Megan shifted uncomfortably. I'm sorry…. But I can't do anything and don't have anything to do with that….
She was subtly interrupted when a phone call came to the house. She picked it up. "Hello?…"

Skye just stayed there, shutting out the world as best he could. Rio watched him with concern before turning to watch megan.

"Hey Megan!" Said Steve. "I was just calling to propose something to you…. And I need your opinion…."
"Yeah? An opinion on what…?" She sat back.
"I was thinking…." He paused heavily. "What if…. We built a brother for Tobias?"
It took Megan a second to process before she cried out, "What!?"

Rio watched her carefully when he heard her freak. "are you ok?" he mouthed.

Megan glanced at him for a split second and motioned 'hang on.'
"Whoa, whoa!" Steve said slowly. "It's nothing to be freaked out about… But it's only an idea."
Her mind went places she really hadn't payed too much attention to. It'd be nice if he had someone to get along with… However, I don't know if silbing rivalry will be a thing with his type…. "We'll have to wait… As of right now, it sounds like a fantastic idea!"
"Since you say that, I might invite you to a brainstorm tomorrow morning. Does that sound good to you?"

Rio watched her curiously, I wonder what this is all about?

“Sure thing!” Megan grinned. “That would be great.”
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow!”
He was about to hang up when she suddenly stopped him. “Well, how would we introduce him to Tobias when he’s never seen him?”
Steve was silent for a bit when he let out a suppressed breath. “I think we’d just have to do memory altercation.”
She shook her head. “You know how dangerous that is to do. We might even…. well…. lose him just so that he can see him how we want him to see him…”
“True… We’ll find a way around it… but I do want Tobias to have someone of his age to get along with him.”

Rio couldn't help listening in, his curiosity growing by the second.

“Maybe… let’s just see how things turn out tomorrow. We can’t discuss everything over the phone.” Megan crossed her legs.
“Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow morning then!” Steve said. “Bye!”
“Bye, Steve!” She put the phone down and let out one of the longest sighs she ever did. “That was quite…. interesting.” She wiped a sweaty hand across her face. I don’t know what he was doing when he came up with an idea like that.

"What Idea?" Asked Rio curiously. "if you don't mind my asking that is"

Megan turned and glanced at him for a second. “Oh… Steve was thinking about building a second android….” She scratched the back of her neck. “I don’t know where he got that idea, and I don’t know what to think about it.” I really don’t…. I don’t want to have someone like that second robot to hinder his memory and have to do memory altercation.

"That sound's quite interesting," said Rio thoughtfully.

"Yeah…." Megan said a bit quietly. "Although plenty of things could go wrong with that…" She stood up and stretched. It isn't a bad idea, I just… Second guess myself too much…

"Things go wrong all the time!" Said Rio. "But you'll never know how much will go right until you try it!"

"But…. I'm talking…. Like….. Irreversable things can go wrong…" Megan caught a glimpse of Skye and let out a deep sigh. "Anyway….. I bet you guys are up for something to eat, right?"
