“Let me see if I have this straight… you two run into each other and your all motherly to him?”
“That is correct.”
“Then you argue, fight, and kick Jules’s little butt.”
“Heeeey! I didn’t lose THAT badly… sorta… I did okay in the first part!”
“And then you decide to be motherly again and that you want to be friends with us? Did I miss anything?”
“No, I believe you have summed it up quite well.”
“…… is this a lucario and riolu thing? Cause I don’t get it.”
Ching laughed lightly and gently adjusted the bow on Petie’s bonnet “Don’t worry yourself over it small captain.” She said kindly, having been introduced to the Cuddlebutts crew by Jules and already taking a liking to them… or maybe it was just her maternal instincts showing “It is nothing you need to be concerned with.” She giggled at the perplexed look on Petie’s face before settling down to sit on a crate and watch her girls playing with their new “baby sister” as well as their newest friend.
The smeargle by the name of Beret seemed to have hit it off with the triplets from the start… much to Jules’s horror. They were currently holding him hostage as they tickled and played with the smaller child’s hair, giggling loud enough to drown Jules’s panicked whimpers. She knew they wouldn’t hurt him so she saw no reason not to let them have their fun… especially since Jules gave her the chance to explain basic baby care to her daughters. Watching how they were holding him they already picked up that you had to be gentle.
Turning her attention away for a moment she looked over Jules’s crew and chuckled to herself. Her first reflex was to worry about who cared for so many young children while at sea… but even before they told her she could tell a few of them had the powers of the mythical Devil Fruits. They must be the reason for such an unusual crew and would probably bridge any gap in strength they might encounter… if used properly. That didn’t keep her from still being concerned. After all they were the “Family” of her newest daughter… even if they weren’t riolus they were precious to her all the same.
“Um… Ms. Ching?”
She tilted her head to look down at the small teddiursa, letting a gentle smile form as she picked him up and sat him on her lap. She chuckled at his squeak of surprise before gently hugging him “Yes small captain? Oh and please just Ching… or Mama if you prefer.” Petie blushed and squirmed a little before settling on her lap “Ching…” he said, not noticing the slight pout on her face that he didn’t call her Mama “I was wondering something…” he fidgeted a bit more and looked down, either too polite or embarrassed to ask whatever question he had in mind. She couldn’t help but smile in bemusement at someone so adorable being a captain as she lifted his chin so the teddy was looking up into her eyes “Yes small captain?”
“… if you’re not a pirate then what are you sailing the seas to try and do? I don’t think your ships big enough to be a merchant boat so…”
She couldn’t restrain a genuine laugh at that, not expecting such a smart question from a child still in diapers. She bounced him on her knee and started to explain “Well small captain, it’s actually rather simple. As of the moment our boat is our only home and I am trying to earn and save enough money to build a more stable home for precious daughters.” She explained slowly, trying to hide her smile as Petie listened intently unknowingly sucking on his thumb the whole while.
Opening his mouth to respond Petie finally realized what he was doing and blushed bright red as he yanked the thumb out of his mouth, earning a playful kiss on the forehead from Ching. Taking a moment to regain his composure he stuttered “H-how are you e-earning money?” Ching played with his bonnet a bit more before moving to stroke his ears, smiling when the teddiursa started cooing “Well several things actually, I do odd jobs, put on shows with my aura techniques for money, I occasionally hunt bounties if I’m in a town where I can do it without getting my daughters involved… any number of things.” She explained as she smiled down to him.
He nodded softly as Ching noticed she’d managed to attract the attention of all the little ones from her own daughters to Petie’s crew. She blushed and laughed “Well now, if you wanted story time I’m sure there are much better tales I could tell.” She said while bouncing Petie on her knee again. There was a few giggles of appreciation as most of them went back to what they were doing (Beret & the girls were paint Jules’s nails, Anne was sewing what looked like doll clothes, and Chouji was trying to make a new fishing net). All of them except for Gabriel.
The little fox was trying to master walking in his thick diapers, he found having to crawl too embarrassing, and was currently using the crate Ching was sitting on to keep his balance. Unable to ignore such an adorable scene she gently sat Petie down next to her and scooped Gabriel up, his squeaks of protest dying as she gently massaged his back. A few moments of this later the little fox was almost lulled to sleep as he snuggled into her. Petie just smiled, happy to see Gabriel relaxed, before somebody tapped his shoulder.
Looking up he saw Babyface who, seeing the nearly sleeping fox being gently rocked by Ching, silently motioned for Petie to follow him. Nodding and certain his crew would be in good hands with Ching around Petie waddled after the linoone… a little guilt at leaving Jules to his fate nagging at him but he wasn’t about to face down four girls taller than he. Jules looked okay in dresses, HE most certainly didn’t.
********************
"I'll have to say" Mr. Elroy scratched his chin. "This must've been the biggest change done to a ship in this yard...And a good one at that" he smiled as he showed Petie the ship. The teddiursa looked at it with awe till he noticed one particular thing "You... saved the figurehead." he said with a flat tone to his voice, trying to hide his displeasure. Mr. Elroy nodded and smiled "Oh yes, it was completely undamaged and after all, a figurehead is what makes the ship what it is." While Petie tried to hide his frustration “Oh… that’s… nice… thanks for saving it.
The ship was almost complete, except for the scaffolds under the figurehead which they had managed to save from the original Cradle. Only the cannon was yet to be installed...and judging from the angry miltank going over the crates and bags, it wasn't going well. "... still couldn't find that axe dial?" Petie asked as he noticed Breda sulking. Mr. Elroy shook his head. "It has disappeared entirely. Needless to say, Breda wasn't happy about it. Looks like we have to figure out something else..." Petie tried to hide his relief as he nodded “Oh… that’s too bad… anyway the ship looks almost ready, anything you have left to do?”
"Nothing much, really" he shrugged. "Safe for the cannon and some of the heat dials." Petie nodded "Okay then, I'll let the crew know that we'll be able to leave soon..." he turned to go and stopped "By the way... are you gonna FINALLY tell me what modifications Nanny talked you into adding?" Mr. Elroy scratched his head. "To be honest, I didn't really take part in that conversation...But the little lady did say something of putting the dials into "practical use". Whatever she meant by that."
Petie gulped, having a fairly good idea what was “Practical” in Nanny’s mind “Allright then, I’ll go give my crew the good news.” He started to waddle away. "You do that. In the meantime, we'll try to find an alternate, possibly safer solution for the cannon." Mr. Elroy said as he turned back to the ship. Petie nodded before stopping and sighing “By the way… is it too late to put in a dock for that bonny buggy thing Beret made? If I don’t ask she’ll never give me a moments of peace.” He said looking back to them.
"You mean the little boat thing? Sure, it shouldn't take too long."
“Great, now maybe she’ll stop bugging me about it.”
"You wish, little captain. You just wish"
“Don’t you start calling me that too.”
*********************
“S-so you l-like to c-cook too?”
“Well, yes actually… I use to cook for large groups of people at a time quite often.”
“… i-is that w-why you’re m-making lunch?”
“Why yes little angel it actually is… that and I would like to. You don’t mind do you?”
“N-not at all. Y-you’re very good…”
“Why thank you.”
Gabriel blushed as Ching gently rubbed his head before turning back to the food she was preparing. He looked over the impressive spread she’d already laid out in awe. She was not only a good cook but really fast too. He shifted a little as he sat on his Cloud Buggy and watched her work, effortlessly tossing the fried rice in a wok amazingly quickly to help it cook faster. He felt a little embarrassed at his own skills as he watched her effortlessly plate it and turn to finish preparing the next dish so fluidly it looked as if she were dancing.
Way sooner than he expected she had the cooking down and spread out on the table. He wiped a little from the corner of his mouth and blushed as the foods smell was whetting his appetite. She noticed this and giggled, gently scooping him off the cloud and cradling him “Well little angel, would you like to sample some of my cooking before the others arrive?” she asked gently, stroking Gabriel’s ears as she did so. He blushed and cooed a little before nodding as she cradled him while gently feeding him a few samples of her cooking.
“Mmmmmm!” Gabriel found himself eagerly opening his mouth for the next spoonful as he smiled broadly. This was some of the best food he’d ever had! Ching laughed and smiled “I see you like it, I’m glad.” She said, gently letting Gabriel take a few gulps from a baby bottle of milk before burping him. As he blushed and let out a small belch he whimpered in embarrassment before speaking up “C-ching?” she turned her head to look at him since she was still patting his back and rubbing his bottom as he rested on her shoulder.
“Yes little angel?”
“Y-you said y-you were looking f-for a w-way to earn money?”
“So you did overhear my talk with your captain.”
“S-sorry… b-but… maybe y-you could c-cook to ear the m-money? You’re r-really good.”
“Hmmm, I hadn’t considered that… now come little angel, lets tell the others dinners ready.”
“O-okay…”
********************
It was bright and early the next day and thanks to the efforts of Beret and the triplets Jules was an even prettier little girl than normal. He sighed as he furiously tried to wipe the make-up off or at least get the pink paint off his nails. He had no such luck as he waddled down to June’s shack for his daily training. The clacking of his little girl shoes just helped make him antsier as he tried to think of a good way to tell her his crew was leaving soon and he wouldn’t be able to continue the lessons. By the time he got there he still hadn’t thought up a good way to break the news as he sighed and pushed the curtain of the door aside.
“Lessons are over, you’ve graduated, hurrah. Now don’t bother me.”
“Huh?”
He blinked as he looked up to June, standing in the middle of the room as if she’d been expecting him. The jynx strode over with her slightly drunk stagger before bending down a little so he could look her in the eyes easier “Your crews leaving soon, right?” Jules nodded not sure what to make of this as she went on “Then consider your lessons over. I’ve taught you the basics of swordsmanship and the basics of fencing so I’m done. Congratulations.” She said in her typical emotionless tone, Jules just stared at her blankly.
She sighed and rolled her eyes as she flicked Jules in the forehead “You wanted to be a swordsman right? Well then here’s your final lesson from me. Take what I’ve taught you and DO something with it.” She let out a dry chuckle as Jules’s eyes lit up with understanding “There, wondered how long it’d take you. Go learn by doing and create your own style with what you got. If you don’t die I’m sure you’ll make something of yourself… if you don’t die that is.” She added before shrugging. Suddenly she felt something wrap around her legs.
She looked down to find Jules hugging her and raised an eyebrow as he smiled up to her “Thank you sensei!” he chirped happily now that he understood what she meant “I’ll do my best to make my own style and I won’t die! I promise!” he cheered before turning and skipping away happily. His princess dress bounced up and showed off the frills along the bottom of his diaper. June watched him vanish out the door for a moment before taking a deep swig of her rum.
“There goes one weird little kid.”
*******************
“J-just gently tug this on her aaaaaand… done!”
Anne smiled proudly as she held up the completed plushie in her hands and looked her new family member over. It'd taken a lot of work but everything was perfect and in place from her stitching to her outfit, to her weapon. All that was left was to use her powers to place the spark of life and a personality into the currently lifeless toy… which she had NO clue how to do.
Hugging her lifeless friend-to-be she whimpered. When she’d animated Nanny, B.B., and Suzy she’d done it unintentionally. Giving them personalities from her subconscious… she thought. She couldn’t really be sure. Either way it hadn’t been something she’d consciously done, but if she was going to master these powers of hers she would have to figure out how to do it… somehow.
Cradling the new plush in her arms she started thinking about how to do it. Did she just have to think really, really hard and it’d happen? Maybe she had to kiss the toy… that sounded silly but her whole devil fruit power was rather silly to be honest. She sighed and decided to instead think about what kind of personality she’d want her new family member to have. She was going to be a big sister, that much Anne was sure about… but what kind? She already had a playful and teasing big sister in Suzy… so what else could she do?
Maybe… a slightly rough but caring older sister, yes that sounded good. A sister with a sweet disposition even if lacking a gentle demeanor but still kind, caring, and most of all protective to people she cares about. Someone who’d noogie you one moment but be hugging away your tears the next… yes that sounded good, now she’d just have to figure out how to bring her to life. It took Anne a moment to notice the movement in her arms before a rough but nice laugh and a female voice shook her out of her thoughts as she looked down to the plushie.
“Hey there baby sis, what’s with that serious face?”
“… h-hello… A-Alice.”
“That’s my name! Now come on and put me down, I’m the one who’s supposed to be carrying YOU!”
“O-okay.”
********************
“D’aaaaaaaaaw! I can’t believe our baby sis didn’t like being pretty!”
“Naaaa, that’s not it! She LOVES it!”
“Are you sure Beret?”
“Positive! She was probably just grumpy cause she needed a change or had gas.”
“True, mommy said babies can be moody sometimes.”
“Yep! Now listen up, I got a FUN idea…”
Beret giggled as the three riolu girls gathered around her “You know how Ju-Ju stormed off and said she couldn’t wear stuff that frilly while he was first mate of the ship?” the triplets nodded, remembering Jules’s little tantrum when they’d tried to dress him up even more “Weeeeeeell…” Beret said, giggling as her tail swished eagerly “If she can’t wear frilly then she should at LEAST have some clothes that show she’s a pretty baby girl, right?” the triplets thought this over for a moment before breaking into giggles and nodding.
“Do you three know how to sew?”
“Uh huh, Mama taught us. Do you?”
“Yep! And I also know where some spare cloth is and where Ju-Ju keeps her clothes!”
“What are we waiting for then! Baby sister is going to be so surprised when she sees this!”
“Oh I bet she will! Follow me!”
*****************
“Can you pleeeeeeease tell them to stop?”
“I could try dear one but they’re just having fun, they don’t mean any harm.”
“But it’s embarrassing!”
“Says the little riolu in need of a diaper change.”
“… besides the point.”
“If you say so dear one, now lets get you taken care of.”
Jules blushed as Ching gently scooped him up and laid him on the changing table of the nursery that was once the Elroy’s guest room. Nanny was currently pouting in the corner at Ching taking her job but she didn’t say anything. Jules just blushed and whined as Ching hummed softly and tugged his frilly panties down over his socks and shoes. He always hated this part of being on Petie’s crew.
“C-ching?” he squeaked, hiding his face in his paws in embarrassment as his diaper was unpinned “W-where did you learn how to fight like that? And those aura tricks?” he asked, trying to get his mind off what was happening. He could feel the lucario pause for a moment before resuming her work, speaking softly “Lets just say I grew up in an… interesting place that taught me a few things.” She said, Jules missing the slight edge to her voice she was trying to hide.
“C-can you teach me some of that?”
She laughed as she lifted him by his ankles “Maybe when you’re a little older dear one, besides my aura techniques are a bit advanced for a riolu… we’d have to start you with the basic training first…” she gave his cute bottom a playful pinch making him squeak “And I think potty training should come first for you.” She added as Jules’s face glowed with embarrassment behind his paws as he whined.
“Pleeeeeeeeease?”
“We’ll see… now stop squirming please.”
“But the powder tickles!”
Ching chuckled as she finished powdering Jules and wrapped the diaper around him. The riolu was silent as she pinned it on and pulled his panties back over it. Finally as she sat him up on the table Jules spoke up “Ching? You said you are working to earn money for you and the triplets?” he asked as Ching, feeling a small bit of déjà vu nodded “Well maybe you should open a snack shop!” Jules chirped, wagging his tail and making the bow tied there flop cutely.
Ching giggled at how adorable he looked “Oh? What makes you say that?” she asked, tickling his chin and making him giggle and squirm. Playfully pushing her hand away he smiled “Cause you’re nice and a good cook!” he said, smiling up to her, his little baby fang sticking out cutely “And I bet you’d be really, really good at it too!” he finished making her laugh and rub noses with him “Well how can I argue with logic like that?” she lightly bounced him in her arms.
“Now then, lets go back outside. Little girls need fresh air and sunshine to grow up big and strong you know!”
“Na ta little girl.”
“Oh? Then what was that curtsey I saw you do earlier?”
“T-t-that was nothing! My sisters taught me how to do it! I didn’t mean to!”
“I’m sure, I’m sure… now lets go outside dear one.”
“… sure…”
*******************
Ching couldn’t keep from smiling as she looked out over the docks. By pure chance all of the Cuddlebutts crew and her daughters had ended up there at once. Jules was in a heated argument with Beret over something to do with clothing from what she could hear while her girls were amusing themselves with playing with their baby sisters outfit while she was too busy to notice. Anne was talking with the plushie she’d been working on earlier, which was now up and walking around… Ching wasn’t sure whether she should find this weird or not, Chouji was currently on his fourth attempt at making a net, after untangling himself from his first three attempts of course, and Petie was trying to help Gabriel master walking in his thick diapers… with minimal results.
She took a deep, relax breath and smiled. A peaceful afternoon surrounded by little ones… such an ideal setting for her. She was truly thankful.
BOOOOM!!!
CRASH!!!
Suddenly the sound of cannonfire tore through the calm followed by the sound of cannon balls tearing through wooden structures and crashing all around. Ching’s first move was to spring forward and wrap her arms around her daughters, as well as Beret and Jules since they were close, protectively as the blasts continued. She could barely contain a scream of rage as she saw her boat, the home to her and her girls, struck by a shot and start to sink.
All around her the little ones screamed and panicked as her daughters hugged close to her along with Beret and Jules, Anne’s plushie family immediately had appeared to hug her as protectively as she hugged her own daughters, Chouji dove into the water which was likely a normal reaction for a fishmon, and Gabriel screamed and cried as he clung to Petie, clouds forming around the two protectively on reflex. The only one who wasn’t panicking was Petie. The teddiursa had a mixed terrified and furious snarl on his face as his eyes were locked on the pink tinged ship in the distance and the heart shaped Jolly Rodger flying from its top mast. Over the cannonfire she couldn’t hear him but she could read his lips well enough to make out a single word.
“Francesca!!!”
To Be Continued…
Ching introduces herself to Petie's crew as she and her daughters get to know and spend time with them as they go about their buisness. The ship is nearly complete and the Cuddlebutts Crew will be leaving Empty Town soon... but before they can a few more "Friends" decided to drop by...
Anyway please enjoy, fav & comment, and have a great day! =D

The End Nears! Stay at Empty Town Closing!? “Let me see if I have this straight… you two run into each other and your all motherly to him?”

He blinked as he looked up to June, standing in the middle of the room as if she’d been expecting him. The jynx strode over with her slightly drunk stagger before bending down a little so he could look her in the eyes easier “Your crews leaving soon, right?” Jules nodded not sure what to make of this as she went on “Then consider your lessons over. I’ve taught you the basics of swordsmanship and the basics of fencing so I’m done. Congratulations.” She said in her typical emotionless tone, Jules just stared at her blankly.
She sighed and rolled her eyes as she flicked Jules in the forehead “You wanted to be a swordsman right? Well then here’s your final lesson from me. Take what I’ve taught you and DO something with it.” She let out a dry chuckle as Jules’s eyes lit up with understanding “There, wondered how long it’d take you. Go learn by doing and create your own style with what you got. If you don’t die I’m sure you’ll make something of yourself… if you don’t die that is.” She added before shrugging. Suddenly she felt something wrap around her legs.
She looked down to find Jules hugging her and raised an eyebrow as he smiled up to her “Thank you sensei!” he chirped happily now that he understood what she meant “I’ll do my best to make my own style and I won’t die! I promise!” he cheered before turning and skipping away happily. His princess dress bounced up and showed off the frills along the bottom of his diaper. June watched him vanish out the door for a moment before taking a deep swig of her rum.
“There goes one weird little kid.”
*******************
“J-just gently tug this on her aaaaaand… done!”
Anne smiled proudly as she held up the completed plushie in her hands and looked her new family member over. It'd taken a lot of work but everything was perfect and in place from her stitching to her outfit, to her weapon. All that was left was to use her powers to place the spark of life and a personality into the currently lifeless toy… which she had NO clue how to do.
Hugging her lifeless friend-to-be she whimpered. When she’d animated Nanny, B.B., and Suzy she’d done it unintentionally. Giving them personalities from her subconscious… she thought. She couldn’t really be sure. Either way it hadn’t been something she’d consciously done, but if she was going to master these powers of hers she would have to figure out how to do it… somehow.
Cradling the new plush in her arms she started thinking about how to do it. Did she just have to think really, really hard and it’d happen? Maybe she had to kiss the toy… that sounded silly but her whole devil fruit power was rather silly to be honest. She sighed and decided to instead think about what kind of personality she’d want her new family member to have. She was going to be a big sister, that much Anne was sure about… but what kind? She already had a playful and teasing big sister in Suzy… so what else could she do?
Maybe… a slightly rough but caring older sister, yes that sounded good. A sister with a sweet disposition even if lacking a gentle demeanor but still kind, caring, and most of all protective to people she cares about. Someone who’d noogie you one moment but be hugging away your tears the next… yes that sounded good, now she’d just have to figure out how to bring her to life. It took Anne a moment to notice the movement in her arms before a rough but nice laugh and a female voice shook her out of her thoughts as she looked down to the plushie.
“Hey there baby sis, what’s with that serious face?”
“… h-hello… A-Alice.”
“That’s my name! Now come on and put me down, I’m the one who’s supposed to be carrying YOU!”
“O-okay.”
********************
“D’aaaaaaaaaw! I can’t believe our baby sis didn’t like being pretty!”
“Naaaa, that’s not it! She LOVES it!”
“Are you sure Beret?”
“Positive! She was probably just grumpy cause she needed a change or had gas.”
“True, mommy said babies can be moody sometimes.”
“Yep! Now listen up, I got a FUN idea…”
Beret giggled as the three riolu girls gathered around her “You know how Ju-Ju stormed off and said she couldn’t wear stuff that frilly while he was first mate of the ship?” the triplets nodded, remembering Jules’s little tantrum when they’d tried to dress him up even more “Weeeeeeell…” Beret said, giggling as her tail swished eagerly “If she can’t wear frilly then she should at LEAST have some clothes that show she’s a pretty baby girl, right?” the triplets thought this over for a moment before breaking into giggles and nodding.
“Do you three know how to sew?”
“Uh huh, Mama taught us. Do you?”
“Yep! And I also know where some spare cloth is and where Ju-Ju keeps her clothes!”
“What are we waiting for then! Baby sister is going to be so surprised when she sees this!”
“Oh I bet she will! Follow me!”
*****************
“Can you pleeeeeeease tell them to stop?”
“I could try dear one but they’re just having fun, they don’t mean any harm.”
“But it’s embarrassing!”
“Says the little riolu in need of a diaper change.”
“… besides the point.”
“If you say so dear one, now lets get you taken care of.”
Jules blushed as Ching gently scooped him up and laid him on the changing table of the nursery that was once the Elroy’s guest room. Nanny was currently pouting in the corner at Ching taking her job but she didn’t say anything. Jules just blushed and whined as Ching hummed softly and tugged his frilly panties down over his socks and shoes. He always hated this part of being on Petie’s crew.
“C-ching?” he squeaked, hiding his face in his paws in embarrassment as his diaper was unpinned “W-where did you learn how to fight like that? And those aura tricks?” he asked, trying to get his mind off what was happening. He could feel the lucario pause for a moment before resuming her work, speaking softly “Lets just say I grew up in an… interesting place that taught me a few things.” She said, Jules missing the slight edge to her voice she was trying to hide.
“C-can you teach me some of that?”
She laughed as she lifted him by his ankles “Maybe when you’re a little older dear one, besides my aura techniques are a bit advanced for a riolu… we’d have to start you with the basic training first…” she gave his cute bottom a playful pinch making him squeak “And I think potty training should come first for you.” She added as Jules’s face glowed with embarrassment behind his paws as he whined.
“Pleeeeeeeeease?”
“We’ll see… now stop squirming please.”
“But the powder tickles!”
Ching chuckled as she finished powdering Jules and wrapped the diaper around him. The riolu was silent as she pinned it on and pulled his panties back over it. Finally as she sat him up on the table Jules spoke up “Ching? You said you are working to earn money for you and the triplets?” he asked as Ching, feeling a small bit of déjà vu nodded “Well maybe you should open a snack shop!” Jules chirped, wagging his tail and making the bow tied there flop cutely.
Ching giggled at how adorable he looked “Oh? What makes you say that?” she asked, tickling his chin and making him giggle and squirm. Playfully pushing her hand away he smiled “Cause you’re nice and a good cook!” he said, smiling up to her, his little baby fang sticking out cutely “And I bet you’d be really, really good at it too!” he finished making her laugh and rub noses with him “Well how can I argue with logic like that?” she lightly bounced him in her arms.
“Now then, lets go back outside. Little girls need fresh air and sunshine to grow up big and strong you know!”
“Na ta little girl.”
“Oh? Then what was that curtsey I saw you do earlier?”
“T-t-that was nothing! My sisters taught me how to do it! I didn’t mean to!”
“I’m sure, I’m sure… now lets go outside dear one.”
“… sure…”
*******************
Ching couldn’t keep from smiling as she looked out over the docks. By pure chance all of the Cuddlebutts crew and her daughters had ended up there at once. Jules was in a heated argument with Beret over something to do with clothing from what she could hear while her girls were amusing themselves with playing with their baby sisters outfit while she was too busy to notice. Anne was talking with the plushie she’d been working on earlier, which was now up and walking around… Ching wasn’t sure whether she should find this weird or not, Chouji was currently on his fourth attempt at making a net, after untangling himself from his first three attempts of course, and Petie was trying to help Gabriel master walking in his thick diapers… with minimal results.
She took a deep, relax breath and smiled. A peaceful afternoon surrounded by little ones… such an ideal setting for her. She was truly thankful.
BOOOOM!!!
CRASH!!!
Suddenly the sound of cannonfire tore through the calm followed by the sound of cannon balls tearing through wooden structures and crashing all around. Ching’s first move was to spring forward and wrap her arms around her daughters, as well as Beret and Jules since they were close, protectively as the blasts continued. She could barely contain a scream of rage as she saw her boat, the home to her and her girls, struck by a shot and start to sink.
All around her the little ones screamed and panicked as her daughters hugged close to her along with Beret and Jules, Anne’s plushie family immediately had appeared to hug her as protectively as she hugged her own daughters, Chouji dove into the water which was likely a normal reaction for a fishmon, and Gabriel screamed and cried as he clung to Petie, clouds forming around the two protectively on reflex. The only one who wasn’t panicking was Petie. The teddiursa had a mixed terrified and furious snarl on his face as his eyes were locked on the pink tinged ship in the distance and the heart shaped Jolly Rodger flying from its top mast. Over the cannonfire she couldn’t hear him but she could read his lips well enough to make out a single word.
“Francesca!!!”

O gawd psycho sheep returns with... A fluffier coat I'm now picturing that they changed Jules's clothes to skirts and blouses and maybe a few frilly onesies oh and short dresses.
