Timeline: MD 5. 1145

For the past three days, J'Loni and crew were living on the station till the house near the stables was finished.

Finally, word came that it was done and they could move in. It was good timing cause the horses were on the way and would be here very soon. So they set out for the walk down the Sandy beach, Jenna having a ball with the wolves and J'Loni was just relaxing and listening to the water on the beach.

Jenna let out a squeal as she found the house with the door open. The three of them went bounding in."Mommy, mommy...look here, I got an umbrella over my bed. Ain't it pritty?" Jenna squealed in delight. Her room was glamorous to say the least. It's main window, at the foot of the bed, looked out over the calm ocean. One could only guess at what sunrise and sunset looked like.

The house was stupendous and was seated on a small peninsula with a small lagoon. Trees all over, grass as far inland as you could see. Wild creatures around; and not too far from the house were marvelous stables. The workers that tidied up the place did a wonderful job in getting everything ready for them to move in.

Exploring the house, J'Loni was in awe with the way the house was divided into each room. Jenna's room was spacious and did indeed have an umbrella over it. Her window was gigantic and almost had the appearance of not being there. The glass had an automatic dimmer which was voice controlled by computer, and she actually had a small replicator built in to give her refreshments and pre-programmed foods for a child of her age.

J'Loni walked back down the small hallway to the living room and plopped into the couch and sighed. The view was incredible to say the least. You could hear the water washing up on the shore and watch the trees bend in the gentle breeze. She sat there forever it seemed. Not wanting to get up, she headed for the kitchen.

The kitchen was something she could not explain. It was a mix of replicators and actual cooking devices. Burners, four of them, a stack of pots and pans, eating utensils and plates. Somehow they installed a cooling device that looked like a refrigerator, and a sink with running water. It was archaically designed in ancient/ modern style. It was magnificent and efficient.

Turning around, her jaw dropped. In front of her where there should be a wall, there was none there. There was a magnificent pool that stretched outward towards the lagoon. There were glass folding doors that you could pull across closing the kitchen completely without losing the view of the beach and water. It was awesome! You had an indoor and outdoor kitchen with access to a pool. Just off to the side there was another pool but, this pool had fish in it! It was so much to take in but it was about to get interesting as a shuttle could be heard in the distance.

J'Loni suddenly realized the horses and Bear were about to land, so she collected Jenna and the wolves and headed for the stables. It was a short distance and they got there rather quickly just as the shuttle arrived and set down.

All you heard were horses neighing loudly and kicking the walls, and above that a bone chilling screech that could only be Bear! The poor yeoman who piloted the shuttle was literally paralyzed to his seat.

Finally, he let down the gate of the shuttle and all you saw was feathers fly as Bear made a beeline for the open sky screeching as he went. Right behind Bear was six not four as she was told we're coming. Four were theirs but whose were the others? Maybe daddy sent two more by mistake?
