Zema's face went blank as she shook her head. She laughed slightly. "Can you put me down now?"

"No. Sue and curly told me not." he said looking at the alligators who were now at the door. "They told me to feed them beef and to hide you somewhere." he said at her with very owlish eyes.

She reached up and poked his cheek. Zema pouted. "I will fight back- now put me down and stop having private conversations with my alligators."

"I didn't have private conversations with them they were talking to me." he replied tickling her.

Zema busted out into laughter. "Stop!" She yelled pleadingly. She learned something knew about herself though, she was ticklish? No one had ever tickled her before.

"Or what?" he asked with wide grin.

She ceased laughing for a minute and reached up and licked his cheek. Then, she stretched out and rolled out of his grasp and onto the floor.
"Ha!"

Maikeru wiped his cheek and grabbed her ankle dragging her off to her room where he would lock her in. "Take this." he said with a shout throwing carefully in her room standing against the door.

She got up, now in her room. She grinned. Zema opened her window, jumped out into the back yard and strode into the back door. There she walked past him to get the second pizza out of the oven. "The pizza is going to burn."

Maikeru rushed by her and took some oven mitts from her drawers which he played with for ten seconds before he opened the oven and putting it on the table. "I got it."

"uh- Alright." She was a bit surprised how fast he went and just watched.

Maikeru wanted to eat the pizza whole once again but went ahead and decided againsst it. "Here you are." she finally said bluntly handing her the whole saucer.

Zema took it , staring at it a moment then laughing. Using the pizza cutter she cut out of piece then looked at him. "You can have the rest." Then she turned, walking into the next room.

Maikeru devoured the whole thing once again in one sing swallow which means he was really hungry or something else entirely.

Zema took a bite of her slice, then dangled the rest above a cage of some of her reptiles. "No," She mumbled. "Not for you." She moved to her desk with her run down computer and hooked her goggles up to it.
