this wil be about the tenth try at posting... loved it! *gives him a hug... just let your head sink in and Tux will tell you where to take it Wire.

Thanks, Ms. V! I guess I've been doing that, but when I look at where I think he's going in the far future and try to figure out how he gets there it seems like such a rocky road. I'll probably have to look for the brighter moments of his life or I'll depress everyone.

And thank you for the favs! Much appreciated!

Yeah, like Vixyy said :) The unfortunate thing about actually getting a sibling is the fact that by the time the baby is old enough to be a companion, the older child is too old by then and is more a caregiver than a companion. Consider if Tux is 7 years old in the story, by the time the baby is old enough to be able to play with a 7 year old, the 7 year old is approaching their teens. Imagine a 12 year old interacting with a 5 year old. By the time the baby is 12, Tux would be finishing high school. My sister had her two daughters within a year of each other just so they could be companions while growing up, yet that year still made a difference.

Ah, but the parents adopted Tux largely because they couldn't have children of their own. So if they adopt again, they simply look for a kit who's close to his age.

I thought of that after I posted... oh well... always agree

Love it, love it, love it.
Won't say more, because I don't need to. You know how I feel about it, don'tcha?
:)

I bleeve I do.

And thank ye for the fav!

I remember wishing for a brother..until I actually had one. :> Be careful what you wish for, Tux...

That's true. There's no telling where such a fulfilled wish might head.

Very nice story.

If you want you could borrow Timothy, I’m sure he’d not only love a brother but he’s in slight need of a family at the moment. Plus, I have a feeling the two of them would be best of friends instantly.

Thank you. And I believe you're right, they would probably get along perfectly.

Bah... he doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Siblings put the "F* U" in "Fun" and "fun" in "disfunctional". I know, I have 5 siblings (4 brothers, 1 sister)

I have one sister. It was a little rough growing up (mostly for her, unfortunately) but now, as an adult, I am certain I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

This was neat, because Tux's answer was so unexpected. Sure, we could expect that he'd want companionship from someone who looks like him, but a sister? Incredible. :3

These are quite fascinating little stories. I think you've got me hooked, and I will most definitely have to start reading them.

Well, there's only a tiny handful of them at the moment, but I do intend for there to be many more.
