[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley tried to speak some human language again and failed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Matt, tell him he has to phase back."

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"I don't think he knows how to, or he would have done it by now."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Tell him how!"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"I don't know how to explain it! Here, I'll try going into his head." He phased. Riley?
Matt!!! Omigod Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you phase??? I didn't mean to kill the milkman, I swear I didn't...how do you phase? Mom and Dad are gonna be so pissed....
Yes, they are, Matt agreed amiably. Just...um...I don't know, see how I do it. He phased back, keeping Riley in his head whilst doing that.
Riley tried copying him and failed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why isn't it working?"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"It didn't work for me at first either. I think he has to figure out his own way."
Whaaat?????? No!!!
"Sorry."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What's wrong with him? How did you learn?" Addie was now dreading the time it'd happen to her.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"Nothing's wrong with him and I don't know, I couldn't control it at all at first."
Riley freaked out some more.
"Don't worry, we all go through it and turn out OK."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How could he kill someone like that?"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"Um...I guess he'll be a good hunter?"
Riley tried to bite Matt and got kicked in the mouth.
"No," Matt told him sternly.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Jerk."

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

He's making fun of me killing someone!
"Hey, you're getting the telepathy part down well."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Both of you are jerks."

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"Well, what do you propose doing about the milkman? Look, we have to wait until mom and dad come home."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't know!" she fretted, crossing her arms in front of her.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"So, let's wait for them."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

-insert waiting here-

"Matt, aren't they supposed to be here--" The front door opened, and Adrianne just about sprinted to she could be there first thing. "Mommy!" she called, as she was usually home first.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Matt and Riley exchanged looks, then Matt picked up Riley - just to make sure nothing happened - and carried him downstairs.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Ayyana hugged her daughter tightly, checking for any injuries. "What happened outside, Addie, are you all right? What happened?"
"I--Riley--the milkman." And then she stopped talking so she wouldn't start crying again.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"Riley had his first phase," Matt explained.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, dear," she muttered, covering her eyes with one hand as if that would get rid of the stench of death. "I should have been here."

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley squirmed out of Matt's arms and ran over to Ayyana.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Ayyana patted Riley on the head. "You haven't changed back, have you? Come on, we'll get you fixed right up." She started to head back outside, beckoning them to follow.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

They did, Riley slightly comforted.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Ayyana sat down in the middle of the backyard and pointed to the ground in front of her, indicating that Riley should sit there.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley sat, his tail thumping on the ground.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You remember being human, right? Tell me some of your favorite things about it."

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Not randomly killing people, Addie not yelling at me all the time...

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She grinned. I think she yelled at you even while you were human. Come on, try again. Think really hard about it. What did you love most of all?

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

She didn't yell at me all the time then, though. Um, I don't know...I liked playing the piano....

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

What else?

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Play-fighting with Matt and Addie, um...drawing....

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Remember it like you want to be there again. If you miss it enough, you start to phase on your own.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley thought of fighting with Matt and not getting kicked in the mouth...practicing sketches over and over until he figured out how to draw something new...all that nostalgic shit, until he thought he was going to cry from the memories, and then he was suddenly human again.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Ayyana hugged him for a moment. "Now, will you tell me what happened?"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"I don't know...I was minding my own business, and then a bug was bothering me and then I was a wolf, so I was freaking out about that and then the milkman opened the door and um...I don't know why, I just really wanted to kill him...." Riley started crying for the millionth time that day. "And then Addie came down and saw us and she started crying and Matt came over and he didn't recognize me either, so I ran to my room and then they figured it out and then Matt tried to teach me to phase back but he does it a different way...and then we just waited for you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"And you left the poor milkman out here? Did you call the police to report it?"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley shook his head. "We didn't know what to do, Matt said to wait for you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Ayyana nodded. "Okay, that's all right. Let's go back inside. I'll report the incident, say I didn't see what happened. And then we'll teach you how to phase. Okay?"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

Riley nodded.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

((blah, skype is being uncooperative but i g2g, bai mimi!!!))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded in return and led him back inside. She have him another hug before going to the phone, hoping the kids would behave while she talked.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"It'll get easier with practice," Matt told Riley.
Riley glared at him. "You kicked me!"
"You tried to bite me!"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie sighed and sat at the bottom of the stairs like she always did when her brothers got into an argument. Unless she was involved, too, of course.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

"You were making fun of me for killing someone!"
"I was just answering Addie!"
"Addie was being mean too."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie just glared over at them.

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

((ewwo))
"You were!"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((hi))

"So were you!"

[♥ Rachel♥, Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit?]

((what's up?))
"What did I do??? You see how your first phase goes!"
