Titania smacked Soren to the ground.

Soren screamed, "Ow!" and then yelled, "You can't blame me that you went last! I offered my spot to you. I offered my spot. You rejected it." Soren didn't realize that he had started to cry.

Ike lifted him off the ground and examined his bruise. "Titania, that was uncalled for. Soren is thirty pounds lighter than you AND anemic. You can't just smack him around for being annoying."

"This is favoritism, Ike!" she yelled.

"Okay, how would you like it if Oscar pushed Rhys over?" Ike yelled.

Oscar looked somber. "I would never do that. It's bullying."

"See? I told you Oscar was perfect!" Boyd shouted, "And if Titania had just believed that, none of this would've happened.

"Attacking a lady, Titania?" Shinon asked, "What happened to chivalry?"

"You calling me a lady is no better than that enemy calling you a lady, you hypocrite!" Soren shouted readying his wind tome.

"Ezak!" he shouted as the magic flew out onto the blue armor of Gatrie, the blond knight standing in front of the cowering sniper.

"That's not nice, Soren," Gatrie scolded.

Rhys rushed around trying to heal his rambunctious roommates who had all but killed each other in the duration of fifteen seconds. Luckily, Mia knew the answer. She looked out the window, and saw green grass growing under the brightly shining sun.

"Hey, guys, the snow melted!" she exclaimed. The ten others rushed to the window to see.

"What do you know?" Boyd asked, "The snow DID melt. Well, Mist and I are going to go play catch now."

"Shinon, do you want to go the beach with me?" Gatrie asked.

"Well, okay," the sniper ceded, "But I'll blame you if I turn as red as a tomato."

Titania and Rhys sat in the corner, as the woman fed her special one more soup.

"This soup is too hot!" Rhys complained, "I want iced tea."

"Not Commander Greil's tea, right?"

"Right."

Mia said, "Well Oscar, Rolf, what do you boys want to do?"

"Well, we were just going to ask Ike and Soren to come outside and play with us…"

"No," Mia said, "We've been cooped up here for too long with each other. They need some alone time."

Ike blushed at the mention. As the last three people left the fort, and with Titania and Rhys in the other room, Ike said, "I can't believe you confessed. It's not like you to expose secrets, even to me, without pressure."

"Yeah, well, we were having so much fun, as a family that I… I…" Soren trailed off and Ike could tell he was starting to cry.

Ike smiled at him. "This has always been your home. And we all love each other, even if some of us refuse to admit it."

"Yeah," Soren said, smiling. "I couldn't cheat them out of a good story because of my seclusion."

Ike and Soren hugged in a friendly, non-suggestive manner very much unlike the one they would share two years later. Ike let go suddenly. "But what about the Kumquat Incident?"

"No one knows what REALLY happened. Mist's story was so well-censored."

"And I'd prefer we keep it that way."

The End

Author's Note: "Poopy Nappy", unfortunately, was from something I made up orally over three years ago, and so we will not see it in a story. However, I am planning to rewrite the script about Greil's tea in prose form and post it. If you liked this fic, you'll probably enjoy that one too.

Do NOT write an explicit yaoi story based on the Kumquat Incident. PLEASE.
