A/N: The picture above is her leopard. Before you say "That's a tiger" I know she's a tiger. She's been a leopard for three years, and that's how she's going to stay. 

Before I knew it a scream ripped past my mouth. Thankfully I was the only one, Aricka screamed too before rush forward and giving me a hug, practically picking me up in the process. "I can't believe it's you!" I exclaimed holding her tightly. She laughed and pulled away, only to give another little scream and hug me tightly. Eventually I had to breath. "A-Aricka, ya gotta let go. I can't breath" I said, patting her arm. She laughed and let me go. We stood there for a second before I realized that we were still in the doorway of my house. "Oh! Come in! Come see Dad!" I said, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

Aricka walked in, and I closed the door. I motioned for her to follow me, before I sprinted into the living room. I stopped once I got to the couch, I looked around for Roman, but noticed he wasn't there. Dad must have seen the upset look on my face because he opened his arms for me. I smiled at him and walked over, sitting on his lap and cuddling into him. "Where's Roman?" I asked softly. "He sunk down, along with the others." He said. I nodded in understanding but I wish he hadn't.

I looked up an noticed Aricka just standing there awkwardly. "Aricka." I said, getting her attention. "Sit." I said, acting demanding. She looked at me and sat down quickly. I giggled at her, causing her to smile. But my smile went away when I looked at her lap. "You kept her." I whispered. She looked confused, before looking down. "Oh, yeah." She said smiling, and handing me my leopard. I reached forward and took it from her. "Are you sure you don't want her back." I asked, and she nodded. I held my leopard close, and leaned back again. "Thank you." I whispered. "You're welcome." She whispered back. Then it was awkward silence for a bit.

"You're fangirling, aren't you." I said, noticing her gaze on Thomas. Her mouth was wide open, she nodded dumbly. "Wanna fangirl even more?" I asked. She snapped out of her trance, and looked at me confused. I looked up at Dad and he nodded. I giggled, and stood up, walking over to where Roman normally stood, knowing that it where he would show up. "Dad!" I called, and Patton popped up. "Hey, Kiddo!" He said, waving. I wave back before calling another. "Mom!" And Logan popped up. "Salutations." He said. "Ro!" I called. He popped up in front of me, and I jumped on his back, startling him. "I missed you." I whispered. I didn't give him a chance to respond before stuttering out the next one. "Bi-V-Virgil." I stuttered, and Virgil popped up, glaring at me. I flinched slightly before looking at Aricka over Roman's shoulder, she sat there mouth wide open, looking at the sides. "Aricka, this Dad aka Thomas. This is Dad aka Patton. This is Mom aka Logan. This is my twin aka Roman. And this is b-b-big b-brother a-aka V-Virgil." I said stuttering the last part. "Roman, Logan, Patton, V-Virgil, and Thomas. This is Aricka my best friend/sister/caretaker." I said, smiling at her. There was a chorus of 'Hey kiddos' and other greeting. Once again it was silent at Aricka just stared, but it was quickly broken by her. "YOU'RE REAL?!" She shouted, causing all of us to flinch. "Yep." I said. "I KNEW IT!" She cried. "Aricka! Calm down!" I said getting down from Roman's back and walking over to her. But before I could reach her she was already racing towards Virgil. "Hi! I'm Aricka, and you're my favorite!" She said. Virgil smirked at her, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder. I stood there dumbfounded....he never did that to me. 

A/N: Currently Vrigil's and Rae's relationship is going to be a bit stressed until later. The reunion between Aricka and Rae was short, but I think it proved how much they missed each other. Anyway, I think that's all! Next chapter should be up later tonight or early tomorrow morning!! 

Take it easy guys, gals, and non-binary pals!! PEACE OUT!
