《Normal is boring》16

Ashlyn's mom has a funny face when she is confused. Ashlyn's dad is looking at us like we are monsters, maybe we are, but that's for another day and time. My brother and I walk to our moms and sit with them.
"Not going for a walk?", mom asks.
"Nope, we walked with them an hour ago or something. So no." Mama is laughing.
"Guess we have something to explain, don't we?"
"Sure, you have something to explain, my daughter", Ashlyn's dad says. I laugh.
"Oh oh, here we go", I whisper in Jax' ear. I see Vancouver and Logan coming to us. I say to them they can come with us on the couch, so we are with 4 people and 2 dogs on one couch.
"Who will begin with explaining this uhm story or what you want to call it", Ashlyn's mom says. We laugh. I reply that I will begin.
"A few weeks ago I was awake kind of early, so I decided to make a walk to the beach. There were some people surfing, the weather was nice, a little bit of a wind, the sunrise was coming, kind of perfect you would say. I decided to sit in the sand for the water and watch the people surfing, while I was listening to my favorite band called Kensington. When we were with our birth parents or foster parents we didn't have enough money for surfing gear, but I have always loved watching the people in the ocean surf. With my mom, I could sit for hours at the beach just watching the people surf. I was in a kind of a bad mindset or how you wanna call it, so you know. Mama, do you wanna tell what happened next? I think it's better from your perspective."

"Sure, so I was surfing that day. I saw a girl, Alex, sitting at the beach. Ali was sleeping in, the weather was nice, so time for a long surf session. I was a few hours surfing at that time, so I decided what I could use a short pause before continuing my session. The girl was looking kind of bad, sorry kid." We laugh. "I thought it would be nice to sit next to her, maybe talk for a bit, I don't know. So when I sat next to her she began crying." Ash makes a funny face.
"You aren't that bad", mom says.
"You are my girlfriend, Al, you have to say that." We all laugh. Those are way too funny, even when they don't know it.
"So, where were we? Oh, yeah. She was listening to some music, looked like she was crying by that. Pure out of mother instinct, I wasn't even one at the time, I think, I hugged her, said some comforting things, and after that, I kind of learned her how to surf with my board."
"You forgot the part when I did know you, come on you are Ashlyn Harris, and said to you how much I adore you etc."
"Warning, don't give her too many compliments, her head is big enough, don't make it bigger, she has to do something in France in a few weeks." Ashlyn's mom jokes.
"Harris humor", mom says. "Hey, watch out, maybe you will be a Harris someday, Alexandra Krieger", mama says and mom blushes. We laugh even harder.
It kind of chaos by now. It looks like it's in the veins when your last name is Harris. This way supposed to be explaining how we became Harris's, but yeah. It became more a joking and explaining festival.

After a while, we explained everything, kind of everything. We decide to take a walk with mama's parents, mom and mama, Vancouver and Logan, Jax and me.
"So who is who?", mama's mother says.
"Like who is mama and mom?"
"Yeah, and gram, gramps, grandpa etc."
"Uhm... Ash is mama. Ali is mom. Further, I don't know. Jax?"
"Uhm... Gram and gramps for mama's parents, and grandma and grandpa for Ali's?"
"Sure."
"Nice, so I am gram?"
"Yep", I answer.
"Hi gram." After that, I hug her. I love hugs.
"You are really Ashlyn's daughter, you love hugs", gram says. I laugh and reply that's for sure.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers.

There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.
