“As the challenger you are allowed to go first…”
“Great! Here I come sexy! I DRAW!”
Mike drew his card before grinning “Since I can’t attack this turn anyway I’ll summon Tardy Orc!” he shouted… as nothing happens. Selanine and Petie looked around in confusion for a moment as Mike coughed awkwardly “… give him a minute…” as suddenly the portly orc from the Giant Orc” card rushed out onto the field… lugging a big pink backpack stuffed with all sorts of stuff from books to a thermos. He bent over, clutching his knees and panting for a moment as if he’d jogged the whole way here (2200/0).
“Now this guy can’t attack on the turn he’s summoned… but like I said that’s not a problem. Next I’ll play Double Summon letting me summon again… and I’ll bring out my Giant Orc!” an orc identical to the first, minus the backpack, appeared clutching a large club made out of bone in his meaty fist. He chuckled as he looked at Selanine and idly wacked the bone against the palm of his other hand (2200/0) “And I’ll set two cards and end my turn sexy, you and Jr,’s turn over there.” Mike said with a smirk.
Petie had to hide his disgust. He HATED being called Jr. It reminded him too much of his older brother. Selanine seemed to sense this as she gently pulled him close in an affectionate cuddle before drawing her card “Well then challenger, let us start this simply. I shall set two cards as well…” two facedown cards appeared “And summon Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat!” she called as she played a card and a beast appeared on the field. It was a large soft pink cat of some kind, maybe a panther, wearing a gold winged chest decoration with a large amethyst set in it (1200/400). Petie recognized it as one of the statues he’d noticed earlier as it bowed to Selanine and gave him an affectionate nuzzle, making him giggle, before taking its place on the field.
“And her ability lets me attack you directly… but only at half damage. So now attack the challenger with beautiful pounce!” Selanine called as the cat easily leapt over the two orcs and knocked him to the ground… as the mankey cussed vigorously and Selanine covered Petie’s ears while shaking her head disapprovingly “Such language… your mother certainly wouldn’t approve.” She said as the cat returned to her field “Anyway that is all I have for the moment, it is your turn now challenger.”
Venus LP: 8000 Mike LP: 7400
Still cussing under his breath Mike got back up and drew his card “I activate my traps! Final Attack Orders and Ultimate Offering! Now no monster can move to defense mode and I can pay 500 lifepoints to normal summon again during my turn! First… I summon Goblin Elite Attack Force!” A platoon of the traditional green skinned, pointy eared, and slightly pot-bellied goblins appeared… except these were decked out in full plate mail with matching capes and swords (2200/1500) “Next I’ll pay 500 lifepoints to special summon my Goblin King!” he shouted as a tiny throne rose up. Sitting on It was a tiny, green skinned, cherub like demon wearing a royal coat way too big for it and a tiny crown on its bald head (0/0).
“And his effect gives him 1000 points for every other fiend on the field! And I have 3!” Mike shouted as the king tapped his foot impatiently while his points shot up (3000/3000) “Now… Giant Orc! Lick that pussy!” he said, the lewd chuckle and grin on his face telling the two he knew EXACTLY what he’d just said as the orc bellowed and charged, club raised threateningly. “Please refrain from such language around my son… and I activate Magical Hats.” Selanine said as Amethyst Cat was covered by a huge top hat with a question mark on it and two duplicate top hats appeared. Giant Orc stopped it its tracks and looked at the hats in confusion.
“Now here’s how it works, I set my cat and then take two non-monster cards from my deck and set those. Then I shuffle them. After that it’s a guessing game on which one you’ll hit.” She explained before chuckling “But you’ll have to go through all of them before you can get at me.” Mike was grinding his teeth at this before pointing “Fine! Attack the left one!” he shouted as the fiend swung his club and the hat shattered… revealing an equip spell “That was my Crystal Release. When it’s sent to the graveyard I can take a Crystal Beast monster from my deck and play it in my spell and trap card zone as a continuous spell.” Selanine explained as a large sapphire appeared in front of her.
Mike raised an eyebrow “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard… Tardy Orc! Attack the hat on the right!” he shouted as the second orc fumbled with his bag for a moment before pulling out a bone club identical to the first orcs and using it to bash the hat… revealing a second Crystal Release as a large chunk of Amber appeared on Selanine’s field. “It HAD to be the middle hat…” Mike growled “Elite Attack Force! Destroy it!!” he shouted as the sword wielding goblins rushed the hat and brutally smashed it and Amethyst cat who was hiding under it to pieces making Petie wince.
“Unfortunately her effect doesn’t activate since she wasn’t face up.” Selanine explained “But I activate Call of the Haunted to fix that!” she called as Cat appeared again, this time in defense mode, making Mike cuss and stomp his foot as the ninetails looked at him disapprovingly “Honestly, show some maturity… my son isn’t potty trained yet and he never tantrums that badly.” She said making Petie blush furiously.
His fit of anger over Mike just points and Goblin King leapt from his throne, shattering the cat and making an amethyst appear on Selanine’s field “When a face-up Crystal Beast is destroyed it becomes a continuous spell in my spell and trap card zone.” She explained as Mike just snorted dismissively “My Final Attack Orders keeps Giant Orc and my Goblins from moving to defense mode… your f*cking move…” he muttered.
Venus LP: 8000 Mike LP: 6900
Selanine shook her head disapprovingly as she drew “I summon Topaz Tiger.” She said as a huge, scruffy looking white tiger appeared on the field, curved blades coming out of its head and lower legs, as the cat gave a slight head bow of recognition to the two before taking his place on the field (1600/1000) “And I’ll have him attack your Giant Orc! And he gains 400 attack points when he attacks!” she said as the tiger pounced, his attack shooting up (2000/1000), only for the orc to swat him away making him shatter as a large Topaz appeared next to the other three gems.
Venus LP: 7800 Mike LP: 6900
“Why the hell did you do that sexy? You trying to lose?” Mike asked, snickering “I’m that irresistible huh?” he said as Selanine ignored him. Petie meanwhile was just as confused. Why DID she do that? It didn’t make sense to him… though the card she set from her hand seemed like the smart move to make. “Now then… I believe it’s your turn.” Selanine said, pausing to tickle Petie lightly and coo at him about being “Mommy’s little god” making the teddiursa blush and giggle. Mike looked at the two confused as he pulled his card “Whatever… I summon my second Giant Orc!” he shouted as another bone club wielding fiend appeared (2200/0) and Goblin King’s points rose again (4000/4000) “And I’ll…”
“I activate Threatening Roar, you’ll do nothing.” Selanine said as her set card lifted and Mike stomped his foot again in anger “FINE! I end my turn then!” he snarled as he looked at the two cards in his hand. They were his Banner of Courage and Stop Defense. No matter WHAT monster she set he’d be able to run rough-shot over it next turn and then… then she could put Jr to bed and he’d get to see what was under that toga. He chuckled, licking his lips a little at the thought while looking at Selanine, not even trying to hide his intentions.
Selanine smiled as she pulled her card and plucked out a spell card from her hand Petie hadn’t noticed before. Quickly reading it his eyes grew saucer sized as he realized what was about to happen “I play Crystal Abundance.” Selanine said as she laid the card down and the four gems on her field started to glow “By sending four Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap card zone to the grave I can destroy everything on the field.” The four gems shattered in a blinding flash of light making Mike scream as all his monsters and traps went with them leaving the field bare “And then I can summon Crystal Beasts from my grave up to the same amount of cards you controlled before I played Crystal Abundance… I only have four though so that’ll have to do.”
Amethyst Cat and Topaz Tiger appeared again (1200/400) (1600/1000) followed by two monsters Petie didn’t recognize. The first was a huge, dark furred mammoth with four tusks and an amber gem on its forehead (1700/1600) followed by a beautiful white pegasus with yellow feathered wings, sapphire jewels on its wings, and a horn made of sapphire coming out of its forehead (1800/1200) making Petie wonder for a moment if it was a unicorn or a pegasus. Both beasts gave them a head bow of acknowledgement, the Pegasus smiling a little at the wonder on Petie’s face, before facing Mike.
“Meet my Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth and Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus. Now I could activate Sapphire Pegasus’s ability to let me place a Crystal Beast from my deck into my spell and trap card zone… but I don’t think it matters at the moment.” She said as Mike stared at the army of monsters in horror before quickly turning to his fingers and counting before snapping his head up, a nervous grin on his face “H-ha! You... you don’t have enough bitch! I’ll still have lifepoints left even if you attack me with all of them!” he shouted as both Selanine and Petie giggled. Petie saw the card the fox was idly playing with in her hand and knew what was about to happen… when she handed it to him.
“Cupid? Would you be a dear for mommy and play this card?” she asked sweetly, making him giggle “Otay! I pway da Big Mawch of da Animaws!” he squeaked as he clumsily put the card on the table and Selanine rubbed his head affectionately “Such a smart boy!” she cooed before looking to Mike “The Big March of Animals gives all beast type monsters on my field 200 attack for each beast type on my field… with four of them that’s 800 each.” She explained as the monsters attack shot up (2000/400) (2400/1000) (2500/1600) (2600/1200) she laughed softly “Usually I am against overdoing it… but I do not approve of such language and action around my son. Attack with Crystal Parade!” Mike had just enough time to scream one last obscenity before all four of the beasts trampled him, leaving the mankey stunned on the floor as he groaned weakly.

Selanine clapped her paws as she swept her tails to gather her cards before the table sank back into the floor. "Thank you for those few moments of entertainment." she laughed. Getting up she set Petie on the throne, handing him the cards from her tails. "Cupid sweetie, would you make sure all of momma's cards are facing the right way for me? I'm gonna go punish the naughty boy over there." Selanine said, looking back over at Mike with a wicked grin that made her suddenly very terrifying. "I bet he forgot his mythology lesson about Venus and how she was a very vengeful Goddess too. Of the Olympian Goddesses only Hera's wrath was more terrible."
Petie shuffled the cards, not really paying attention to what he was doing as he stared transfixed at Selanine. Mike meanwhile was frantically trying to scoot back in sheer terror as he stammered "W-w-what are you g-gonna do to me!?" he squeaked fearfully as Petie had the distinct impression that between being trampled and the vengeful goddess bearing down on him Mike might have wet himself. Watching him frantically scoot back for a moment Selanine waved a tail and the hallway behind the fearful Mankey disappeared, leaving no way for him out of the room.
"Let's see... you swore like a sailor in front of my baby... you hit on me repeatedly with the notion I was the least bit impressed with you... what would be appropriate?" She asked tapping her chin and her wicked grin spread even further. "I think I've an idea... you saw me as nothing more than a prize or a toy... why not make you a statue? Venus cursed a group of sisters for being more beautiful than her and turned them into the Gorgons so making you into solid stone shouldn't be too much of a stretch... or would you like a Mankey action figure Cupid? Mommy does like to give her children toys."
Petie giggled happily and clapped to show his approval on the idea as Mike proceeded to HURL his dignity off a building in a way Petie almost didn't think was possible. He was on his knees with his face on the floor as he begged and groveled for mercy, tears of fear streaming down his face and muddling his words as he pleaded for her to spare him. "Well well well..." Selanine chuckled as she watched this "I must say you are the most immature duelist it's been my experience to face here. None have ever groveled so pathetically..."
She grinned suddenly and looked back at Petie. "I've another idea sweetie. Let the outside match the child within." Her eyes and tailtips both glowed a blazing white as she turned to face him again. "Prepare yourself mortal!" Her voice echoed and boomed with power. "The time for your punishment has come!" She gave him one last moment to scream before a white flame shot from the ends of her tails and engulfed him.
Petie looked on in terror as Mike let out a shrill scream as the flames engulfed him... and his scream seemed to grow higher pitched till it was something Petie recognized… an infant’s sobs and wails. As the flames dies down his clothes lay there in a heap, a small squirming lump inside them. Petie stared, his brain trying to convince him that Selanine couldn't have possibly done what he thought she'd done. Selanine giggled over at Petie. "Don't worry dear. He's not hurt..." She reached down and gently pulled the shirt away from the lump, revealing a baby Mankey beneath. "He's simply of a more appropriate stature now... don't you think baby Mikey?"
Petie stared in slack jawed stupefaction as the tiny infant cried harder, flailing his little limbs as tears streamed down his cheeks, a little puddle underneath him. Selanine chuckled and kneeled down in front of him. "Awww... looks like the tough guy had an accident." she teased. "You should count yourself lucky mister. The Hidden Duelists have quite a bit of power and I have plenty of my own as it is. Were it my call you'd be a baby for a few years at least! You could use them to be raised properly again.” She explained softly, gently stroking the babies tummy as Mike cried harder.
“The park's rules however only permit a transformation punishment to last twenty-four hours so you won't come even close to a thousand year curse. And before you start thinking you'll get lucky and get to suckle from me, I'll be taking you to our Park's daycare to stay for the whole time of your punishment. And if you think you'll be able to file a lawsuit for this... one you signed an effective supernatural contract agreeing to a shadow duel, and two I doubt anyone is gonna believe a word of this. Now... come to Auntie Venus and we'll go take you to play nice with all the other little babies." She cooed, gently stroking the baby’s head.
The little Mankey looked up to her in fear, sniffling and sucking hard on his thumb for comfort. He seemed relieved that it'd just be for 24 hours... but judging by his blush and mournful eyes his pride was already fatally damaged. The infant just curled up a little, still sprawled on his back as he looked up to Selanine. Selanine giggled and nodded at the look in his eye. "I can see you've learned a lesson already. Good." She commented. She grabbed his shirt again and in a few moments and some skilled tying she had him in a make-shift cloth diaper.
"Just because I'm nice this is to preserve what little dignity you have left. I hope you'll learn to be a little more polite with women and watch your tongue around babies from now on." Selanine said as she plucked him up off the floor and giggled as she cradled him in on arm before walking back over to Petie. "After we send the new baby on his way we’ll see about getting you some new clothes dear, you can’t walk around the park dressed like that now can you?” she asked, giggling a little as Petie blushed at the thought and nodded, trying to climb down from the throne and his thick diaper making him lose balance and land on it, bouncing a little and looking adorable as his wings fluttered in embarrassment.
Selanine giggled and picked Petie up with her free arm. "Here sweetie. Let me help you." she nuzzled his nose as soon as it was in range while simultaneously pressing another hidden button on her throne. It slid to the side and from a hole in the floor a small bassinet rose up. "This is your stop Mikey!" Selanine teased. "This basinet has a matching one up in Shine Palace. It's a one way teleporter from here and it alerts the workers there that you've arrived when it's used. Oh! Almost forgot!"
She set Petie back down on the throne and set Mike down in the bassinet as she grabbed an authentic looking scroll from a hidden compartment below the Mankey. "Need to give them a note suggesting how you'll spend your stay. Keep him occupied for a moment, will you Cupid?" Petie nodded and waddled over to the bassinet, looking down at Mike who was still softly crying. Standing on his tippie toes to reach Petie gently rubbed the sad babies tummy making him blush and coo despite himself. The teddiursa was good with babies, even ones made by the wrath of a goddess.
Selanine smiled as she watched out of one eye, using a tail to write on the scroll. It only took her a minute before she slipped it in next to Mikey. "I told them to give you to the prettiest caretaker they could find." Selanine giggled. "So long as you behave yourself, in exactly twenty-four hours you're going to feel a severe need to nap. When you wake up, you'll be back in your hotel room with your belongings returned." She gestured a tail over to his remaining clothes, deck, and duel disk as she said belongings "However... misbehave or attempt to act towards your caretakers as you did in our duel and you might find my spell lasting... a little longer."
As she paused to pick Petie up again Selanine waved once to the Mankey before he could protest. A flash of light later and the fighting-type was gone. "I hope he believed me when I said it could last longer." she commented to the teddy in her arms. "Might keep him out of trouble." Petie waved as well as Mike vanished and nodded "Yeah... dis might be good for him... though he pwobabwy desewved worse with how he acted..." he lisped... not having realized in all the excitement and wonder that he was in severe need of a fresh diaper.
Selanine nodded and shifted Petie onto one hip as she started towards the hallway she'd come in from with Petie. "Oh trust me... he certainly did but my standard punishment is regression." Selanine chuckled. "There's plenty more ideas I had, but most would be rated PG-13 at minimum for the torture. For now though I think we need a break. Somebody needs a diaper change again and it's certainly not me." Petie blinked, confused at what she meant till the realization dawned on him and he hid his face in his paws, blushing and whimpering in shame and embarrassment. This usually never happened to him! Everything going on must have messed him up and… and… he sniffled, eyes tearing up a little.
Two tails rose up, one behind him and one in front. The one behind rubbed his back soothingly while the one in front started playfully trying to squirm under his hands and arms, like a feral Furret looking for hugs. "Don't worry so much about it sweetie." Selanine advised him with a giggle. "Half my kids wear them full time and the other half for some odd reason actually like wearing them some days for fun. I'm used to changing little stinkers." Petie sniffled, hugging the tail and nodding weakly, still horribly embarrassed… too much so to even really think about what she’d said.
Selanine smiled down at him as she walked into a lavishly furnished locker room. "There you go. This is the locker and break room for the park Duelists, hence the luxury." Selanine explained as she set Petie down on a padded bench. She turned back around and after a moment had a locker open in front of him. "Luckily I keep some supplies and spare clothes for my kids in here. I should have some... thing... for you..." she stopped after a moment and giggled at him. "I'm gonna be close to squealing over how cute you're gonna look in this but please don't hate me.” She said as she pulled a Baby Dragon onesie, complete with a hood and attached wings, and matching booties out of the locker.
Petie’s jaw dropped and he somehow managed to blush HARDER as he looked at the onesie... but he whimpered as he realized he was out of options at this point "Otay..." he lisped in surrender. Nodding Selanine reached into the locker again and grabbed a Cuddlebutts Night-Time diaper which Petie was familiar with since he wore them every night.. "Sorry but these are the only ones in my locker." She explained as she undid the cloth around his waist. "Aside from my daughter my kids prefer em thick." picked up the wipes and powder she grinned at him again "At least it's not a Waddler right?"
Sighing Petie laid back and went limp so she could work "Fine... I should be able to walk in that... I think..." he said as Selanine giggled and rubbed his belly with one tail as she started removing the tapes. "They can. You should too." she assured him, though she neglected to mention the serious waddle he'd be sporting as he walked…. but Petie already knew that and sighed again... as a voice suddenly chirped from next to them.
"Hiiii Selanine!"
They both looked up sharply, though Selanine continued opening the diaper and cleaning Petie up reflexively with her tails. "Oh! Princess! What a surprise!" She smiled as she looked at the intruder "I was actually gonna head on over to your area soon as I cleaned up in here." She said as Petie stared in slacked jawed awe as the spitting image of Madolche Puddingcess stood in front of him. The girl giggled softly and smiled, standing about a head and a half taller than him. "I was rather surprised to see you... did you adopt a new little one?" she asked, smiling to Petie who suddenly realized he was really exposed. Whimpering he curled up as the Puddingcess look-a-like gently stroked his head reassuringly.
Selanine giggled and shook her head as a couple of her tails reached out and gently held the squirming teddy down so she could powder him. "Nope! Babysitting you could say." she answered. "This is Petie! Petie... this might be hard to believe but this is the real Duel Spirit of Madolche Puddingcess. Princess, it might interest you to know that Petie here is the toddler that beat Star Sparrow a couple days ago... with your deck no less!" She finished introducing the two of them just as her tails taped the new diaper around Petie's waist. She thanked Arceus for Petie's sake she was well practiced with using her tails as extra hands, particularly for diaper changes.
"Oooooh?" she said, suddenly very attentive "So this is the little potential duelist I've been hearing so much about!" she cooed happily as she sat Petie up, the teddiursa too stunned from this news to do more then let her cuddle him "It's wonderful to meet you cutie! Always nice to meet a Madolche user, especially one so skilled at such a young age!" she chirped happily as Selanine made a shushing motion with her tail when the Teddiursa wasn't looking to remind her NOT to spill the beans the park was considering hiring Petie and Rose as Puddingcess giggled and winked back knowingly to her.
"Yes indeed." Selanine said, hoping Petie hadn't read into that comment too much. "This is the little prodigy that has us talking. You've caused quite a little uproar in the break room Petie." She turned around as she spoke and dropped her toga from around her shoulders, wisely using her tails to cover her more sensitive spots from view. Hidden Duelists normally weren’t allowed to wear their costumes when “Aboveground” (Park slang for the place guests can see) so she’d have to change.
Petie squeaked and looked away as he realized Selanine was changing, blushing and covering his eyes as he did so. Meanwhile Puddingcess giggled softly and moved him to sit on her lap "Tell me sweetie... what cards do you use in your deck?" she asked making Petie blink and think it over for a moment before starting to slowly list them off, trying to remember all of them as he ticked each one off on his little paws while both ladies listened intently, slightly concerned looks on their faces.
Selanine giggled as she listened, slipping on a plain black t-shirt and a dark pair of blue jeans while Petie talked. "Forgive me for saying dear... but your deck sounds a little scattered if I know the Madolche cards as well as I think." she commented after Petie finished "Then again that's not a card type I use so I could be wrong. What do you think Puddingcess? You know every strategy this deck can dish out." She asked as Petie's face fell at that comment and it fell even further when he saw Puddingcess shaking her head softly and tisking "No, no, no, no, no that'll never do." she said softly, stroking Petie's head like a concerned older sister "I commend you on your skills playing the deck so well in that state but there is undoubtedly improving you need to do."
Petie looked at her in confusion as Puddingcess smiled “You see Petie, Madolche cards support each other, that is a simple fact… but that DOESN’T mean they work together perfectly.” She explained, taking on an authoritative tone that didn’t suit her cute looks “Now you can gear your deck to focus on summoning Tiaramisu, you can gear your deck towards using me, you can even use something like Guardian Eatos, but just throwing every Madolche card into a deck willy-nilly? That’s asking for trouble.” She said, sighing softly as she saw the utterly blank look on Petie’s face before gently ruffling his hair “Maybe you’d understand better if you saw what I mean rather than me trying to explain…”
Selanine laughed and nodded picking him up out of Puddingcess’s arms "I think you should show him in a duel." Selanine suggested. "I'm gonna take him up to the Chateau to wait for his mommy anyway so maybe a duelist might catch your eye?" she said as she slipped little clawed booties onto Petie’s feet before pulling the onesie down over him and snapped it over his diaper. "Oh that is so cute on you!" She giggled as she offered him back to Puddingcess as the girl laughed softly "I would dear Selanine, but I just stopped by for a moment. I actually have an appointment I need to keep..." she gave Petie a playful kiss on the cheek "But I'll see this little charmer later, I'm sure of it." she said before seeming to vanish into thin air leaving a very confused Petie dangling from Selanine's paws.
Selanine chuckled and scooped Petie in closer. "I think she likes you sweetie." she teased as she lifted the hood up over his head completing the adorable Baby Dragon look "How about we get you an ice cream for being such a good little Cupid? I know a lovely spot over at the Madolche Chateau." She offered as Petie blushed and nodded "O-otay..." he squeaked timidly as he leaned against her "Sewanine?" he lisped, apparently overwhelmed enough by everything that had happened his mannerisms had regressed a little. Selanine giggled down at him at this "Yes dear?" she asked as she walked back out of the locker room and down the halls.
"... wha did she mean by... potiential duewist?"
Selanine thought fast and smiled to him "A duelist with great potential is what she meant dear. Just a quicker way of saying it is all." She answered smoothly as she walked into a room filled with glowing white pads. "You might want to hold on tight... we'll be teleporting to the Chateau." Petie whimpered, being vaguely familiar with Sliph Co. teleport pads… they always upset his stomach and he’d had enough diaper changes for the day to be honest. Before he could protest though she stepped onto the pad and they glowed making Petie close his eyes tight and prepare for the worst.
********************
Minutes later, after a diaper check when they got off the teleport, the pair were seated at a table outside an ice cream parlor. Selanine had Petie seated in her lap with a rather sizable hot fudge sundae in front of them both. Selanine had taken a few bites but decided to let Petie have the rest while she scanned the crowd for signs of Petie's momma. She'd made a quick phone call to the Shine Palace to have them contact his momma and tell her she'd be waiting in the Madolche Chateau area for her and to look for the three Will-o-Wisps Selanine had idly circling above them.
Petie, prouder of himself then he should have been to be dry and clean after the teleport, was shoveling ice cream into his mouth (and all over his face) as a sound like a large bear tearing through the crowd towards their direction could be heard. Selanine chuckled nervously on hearing the sounds. "Brace yourself Petie..." she warned him. "I think I hear a frantic momma bear approaching... I know from experience nothing is more terrifying." She said before realizing her lap was empty and looking up to see a thickly padded bottom frantically waddling in the direction of the sound, the little wings on his onesie bobbing as he went.
Selanine laughed and followed after him, weaving through the crowd with as much grace as you'd expect from a Ninetales as she tried to catch up to Petie to make sure nobody stepped on the poor Teddy. As an afterthought she grabbed the Wisps with a casual Psychic and flew them overhead to mark their position. Selanine caught up to him a little late though as Petie was in Momma's arms as she hugged him closely, kissing his face as she all but smothered him in affection while alternating between chastising him for wandering off and pure joy that he was okay.
"Mrs. Julafton I presume?" Selanine chuckled as she walked up to them. "My name is Selanine. I work for the park and met your two older children yesterday." The ursaring continued to coo and cradle Petie for a moment more before looking up "Please, call me Gwen... or Momma if you want... you're the one who took care of Petie?" she asked softly. Selanine nodded and smiled "Yes, I took the liberty of watching him. It seems he stumbled upon one of our duelists cosplaying Vennominaga and went into a bit of a fit. I doubt he really intended to get separated from you."
Gwen nodded, the explanation good enough to satisfy her since she knew about Petie’s snake phobia... she was just happy he was safe "Thank you for taking care of him...” she said as Selanine nodded again. "It was no trouble at all!" she said. "He was quite a joy to care for too. I would have brought him back sooner but I had a bit of work I had to do which he actually assisted me with. Also had to get him some clothes. He kinda squirmed out of his pants somehow and the doctors had to cut off his shirt. He can keep the onesie though! It looks darling on him!"
Gwen just nodded at that. Selanine could see she was panting softly, judging by her posture and heavy breathing the bear had not only been in a panic but she'd run the whole way here. Giggling the ninetails nodded at her. "Would you like to come and help Petie finish his Sundae? I'll grab a couple cups of tea too." she offered. "You look like you just ran half a marathon. Not that I blame you. I'd scale Mt. Silver for my kids if they were in trouble." Gwen smiled weakly before nodding "A little sit down would be good... um... what was your name again miss?"
"Call me Selanine." she laughed. "I can't give you my stage name. Not supposed to be known to the general public. By the way Petie, keep the duel hush hush until you get to your hotel room with your family okay?"she said before realizing Petie hadn’t heard her... he'd dozed off in his mother’s arms. Gwen chuckled softly "Nice to meet you Selanine." she said politely as she let the ninetails lead her back to the table with the waiting sundae.
Selanine cooed at the sight of sleeping Petie before she offered Gwen the chair in front of the sundae. "Wonderful to meet you too." she said. "What would you like by the way? Tea? Coffee? My treat. I owe Petie." Gwen chuckled lightly "Tea please, I've been trying to cut back on coffee. Even if the twins are born I am trying not to get dependent again." Selanine laughed at that as she ordered some tea "I doubt my house could run without coffee." two minutes later a pair of tall sweet iced teas were delivered to their table "Hope you don't mind it cold."
"It's fine." Gwen said with a smile as she took a long drink of the refreshingly cold beverage, cradling Petie the whole while. Taking a sip of her own tea Selanine smiled "So, I've had the pleasure of meeting two of your children, though it was rather brief with Rose. How many more do you care for?" she asked as Gwen sat the half emptied cup down “Well… I have the twins, Rose is watching them at the moment… wait, care for?” she asked, the choice of wording there striking her as odd.
Selanine nodded. "I say care for as a collective term." she explained. "Whether yours by blood, adoption, fostering or acting surrogate. I have nine under my care now and twelve more are grown and out on their own. Apparently I've a mothering instinct to rival a Kangaskhan or something." Gwen nodded, simply assuming that Selanine had lived a lot longer than her to have that many grown kids since ninetails do have 1000 year lifespands.
Chuckling Gwen lightly stroked the curly tuft of hair on top of Petie’s’ head “Well when you put it that way…” Selanine smiled lightly “I'm guessing there's more than those other two little cuties registered in your hotel room then?" she asked as Momma hung her head, the early problem of Jules and Anne springing back to mind. Selanine paused ".... I take it by your silence they're not really yours and you left them in the care of a friend, am I right?" she asked looking at Gwen "And being you care for them as your own you're feeling guilty about them missing out on this little family vacation?"
"... are you reading my mind? And if so please stop."
"I could sort of but I'm just good at reading people." Selanine answered, shaking her head. "Sorry to be all psycho-analytical. That's a little too invasive of me." Momma sat there for a moment, gently rocking Petie, before sighing and giving in. Explaining the whole detail about Jules and Anne and them considering cutting the vacation short to go back to them. Selanine sipped her tea as she listened to Gwen’s story, nodding every now and again. With one last sip she smiled conspiratorially "I see... what if I told you then there might be a way to get them here?"
Raised an eyebrow Gwen looked at the ninetails suspiciously "... and what might that way be?" she asked as Selanine chuckled. "I'll tell you what." she said. "You do me two favors and I'll fly them out here to stay in the same package you and your family have going right now." Gwen blushed softly at hearing that "Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that..." she said, not wanting to impose any further on the person who'd helped Petie “We’ll just cut our vacation short instead. I don’t want to make you go out of your way…”
Selanine laughed and shook her head. "Trust me it's no trouble at all!" she insisted. "I can get them in free being an employee here and a couple plane tickets is no trouble. Besides! You haven't even heard the favors I wanted yet." Chuckled softly Gwen played with the wings of Petie's outfit "True... what would you like then?" she asked as Selanine gave a, for lack of a better term, foxy smile "Well first... I'd like to be your family's tour guide during your stay." she answered. "I need a few vacation days anyway and that sounds like a fun way to spend it."
Gwen giggled at that "Easily done, and the other favor?" she asks, bouncing Petie on her knee. "The other is a simple little thing called your friendship." Selanine answered, holding out a paw. "Do we have a deal?" Needing no further prompting Gwen took the smaller lady’s paw and shook it “Already done Selanine.” Gwen said with a smile as the fox grasped the paw warmly as she shook it. "Oh! Did forget to ask if I can play with Petie when I guide you too. He is such a sweet little boy. Or is Rose gonna wanna wrestle me for him?”
“She knows how to share, so don't worry... just don't monopolize him... He's my baby boy after all."
"Wouldn't dream of it! I know where little boys belong. Right with a good momma like you. Would you care by the way if I brought one of my own kids?"
“I wouldn't mind at all, I would love to meet your little ones. We can make a playdate of it for them and Petie!”
*******************
“Run that by me one more time please Puddingcess, WHAT is it you want me to do?”
“I want you to duel a cute little cherub.”
“Okay… but why?”
“Well for one he’s a Madolche user who needs a gentle lesson to improve his deck…”
“And?”
“For two he’s that new potential duelist you’ve probably heard about.”
“Oh? The toddler? And wait… you already use Madolche cards so he wouldn’t be allowed to… so why help him?”
“Because I feel it is my duty to teach him, it’ll help him in the long run as a duelist, and it’ll let me see his skills first hand.”
“Fair enough, now why me?”
“Well your deck is perfect for it… and I think you happen to KNOW this little one Ramona.”
“Oh? Tell me more…”
To Be Continued…

Temple of Love Prt 2 “As the challenger you are allowed to go first…”
“Great! Here I come sexy! I DRAW!”
Mike drew his card before grinning “Since I can’t attack this turn anyway I’ll summon Tardy Orc!” he shouted… as nothing happens. Selanine and Petie looked around in confusion for a moment as Mike coughed awkwardly “… give him a minute…” as suddenly the portly orc from the Giant Orc” card rushed out onto the field… lugging a big pink backpack stuffed with all sorts of stuff from books to a thermos. He bent over, clutching his knees and panting for a moment as if he’d jogged the whole way here (2200/0).
“Now this guy can’t attack on the turn he’s summoned… but like I said that’s not a problem. Next I’ll play Double Summon letting me summon again… and I’ll bring out my Giant Orc!” an orc identical to the first, minus the backpack, appeared clutching a large club made out of bone in his meaty fist. He chuckled as he looked at Selanine and idly wacked the bone against the palm of his other hand (2200/0) “And I’ll set two cards and end my turn sexy, you and Jr,’s turn over there.” Mike said with a smirk.
Petie had to hide his disgust. He HATED being called Jr. It reminded him too much of his older brother. Selanine seemed to sense this as she gently pulled him close in an affectionate cuddle before drawing her card “Well then challenger, let us start this simply. I shall set two cards as well…” two facedown cards appeared “And summon Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat!” she called as she played a card and a beast appeared on the field. It was a large soft pink cat of some kind, maybe a panther, wearing a gold winged chest decoration with a large amethyst set in it (1200/400). Petie recognized it as one of the statues he’d noticed earlier as it bowed to Selanine and gave him an affectionate nuzzle, making him giggle, before taking its place on the field.
“And her ability lets me attack you directly… but only at half damage. So now attack the challenger with beautiful pounce!” Selanine called as the cat easily leapt over the two orcs and knocked him to the ground… as the mankey cussed vigorously and Selanine covered Petie’s ears while shaking her head disapprovingly “Such language… your mother certainly wouldn’t approve.” She said as the cat returned to her field “Anyway that is all I have for the moment, it is your turn now challenger.”
Venus LP: 8000 Mike LP: 7400
Still cussing under his breath Mike got back up and drew his card “I activate my traps! Final Attack Orders and Ultimate Offering! Now no monster can move to defense mode and I can pay 500 lifepoints to normal summon again during my turn! First… I summon Goblin Elite Attack Force!” A platoon of the traditional green skinned, pointy eared, and slightly pot-bellied goblins appeared… except these were decked out in full plate mail with matching capes and swords (2200/1500) “Next I’ll pay 500 lifepoints to special summon my Goblin King!” he shouted as a tiny throne rose up. Sitting on It was a tiny, green skinned, cherub like demon wearing a royal coat way too big for it and a tiny crown on its bald head (0/0).
“And his effect gives him 1000 points for every other fiend on the field! And I have 3!” Mike shouted as the king tapped his foot impatiently while his points shot up (3000/3000) “Now… Giant Orc! Lick that pussy!” he said, the lewd chuckle and grin on his face telling the two he knew EXACTLY what he’d just said as the orc bellowed and charged, club raised threateningly. “Please refrain from such language around my son… and I activate Magical Hats.” Selanine said as Amethyst Cat was covered by a huge top hat with a question mark on it and two duplicate top hats appeared. Giant Orc stopped it its tracks and looked at the hats in confusion.
“Now here’s how it works, I set my cat and then take two non-monster cards from my deck and set those. Then I shuffle them. After that it’s a guessing game on which one you’ll hit.” She explained before chuckling “But you’ll have to go through all of them before you can get at me.” Mike was grinding his teeth at this before pointing “Fine! Attack the left one!” he shouted as the fiend swung his club and the hat shattered… revealing an equip spell “That was my Crystal Release. When it’s sent to the graveyard I can take a Crystal Beast monster from my deck and play it in my spell and trap card zone as a continuous spell.” Selanine explained as a large sapphire appeared in front of her.
Mike raised an eyebrow “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard… Tardy Orc! Attack the hat on the right!” he shouted as the second orc fumbled with his bag for a moment before pulling out a bone club identical to the first orcs and using it to bash the hat… revealing a second Crystal Release as a large chunk of Amber appeared on Selanine’s field. “It HAD to be the middle hat…” Mike growled “Elite Attack Force! Destroy it!!” he shouted as the sword wielding goblins rushed the hat and brutally smashed it and Amethyst cat who was hiding under it to pieces making Petie wince.
“Unfortunately her effect doesn’t activate since she wasn’t face up.” Selanine explained “But I activate Call of the Haunted to fix that!” she called as Cat appeared again, this time in defense mode, making Mike cuss and stomp his foot as the ninetails looked at him disapprovingly “Honestly, show some maturity… my son isn’t potty trained yet and he never tantrums that badly.” She said making Petie blush furiously.
His fit of anger over Mike just points and Goblin King leapt from his throne, shattering the cat and making an amethyst appear on Selanine’s field “When a face-up Crystal Beast is destroyed it becomes a continuous spell in my spell and trap card zone.” She explained as Mike just snorted dismissively “My Final Attack Orders keeps Giant Orc and my Goblins from moving to defense mode… your f*cking move…” he muttered.
Venus LP: 8000 Mike LP: 6900
Selanine shook her head disapprovingly as she drew “I summon Topaz Tiger.” She said as a huge, scruffy looking white tiger appeared on the field, curved blades coming out of its head and lower legs, as the cat gave a slight head bow of recognition to the two before taking his place on the field (1600/1000) “And I’ll have him attack your Giant Orc! And he gains 400 attack points when he attacks!” she said as the tiger pounced, his attack shooting up (2000/1000), only for the orc to swat him away making him shatter as a large Topaz appeared next to the other three gems.
Venus LP: 7800 Mike LP: 6900
“Why the hell did you do that sexy? You trying to lose?” Mike asked, snickering “I’m that irresistible huh?” he said as Selanine ignored him. Petie meanwhile was just as confused. Why DID she do that? It didn’t make sense to him… though the card she set from her hand seemed like the smart move to make. “Now then… I believe it’s your turn.” Selanine said, pausing to tickle Petie lightly and coo at him about being “Mommy’s little god” making the teddiursa blush and giggle. Mike looked at the two confused as he pulled his card “Whatever… I summon my second Giant Orc!” he shouted as another bone club wielding fiend appeared (2200/0) and Goblin King’s points rose again (4000/4000) “And I’ll…”
“I activate Threatening Roar, you’ll do nothing.” Selanine said as her set card lifted and Mike stomped his foot again in anger “FINE! I end my turn then!” he snarled as he looked at the two cards in his hand. They were his Banner of Courage and Stop Defense. No matter WHAT monster she set he’d be able to run rough-shot over it next turn and then… then she could put Jr to bed and he’d get to see what was under that toga. He chuckled, licking his lips a little at the thought while looking at Selanine, not even trying to hide his intentions.
Selanine smiled as she pulled her card and plucked out a spell card from her hand Petie hadn’t noticed before. Quickly reading it his eyes grew saucer sized as he realized what was about to happen “I play Crystal Abundance.” Selanine said as she laid the card down and the four gems on her field started to glow “By sending four Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap card zone to the grave I can destroy everything on the field.” The four gems shattered in a blinding flash of light making Mike scream as all his monsters and traps went with them leaving the field bare “And then I can summon Crystal Beasts from my grave up to the same amount of cards you controlled before I played Crystal Abundance… I only have four though so that’ll have to do.”
Amethyst Cat and Topaz Tiger appeared again (1200/400) (1600/1000) followed by two monsters Petie didn’t recognize. The first was a huge, dark furred mammoth with four tusks and an amber gem on its forehead (1700/1600) followed by a beautiful white pegasus with yellow feathered wings, sapphire jewels on its wings, and a horn made of sapphire coming out of its forehead (1800/1200) making Petie wonder for a moment if it was a unicorn or a pegasus. Both beasts gave them a head bow of acknowledgement, the Pegasus smiling a little at the wonder on Petie’s face, before facing Mike.
“Meet my Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth and Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus. Now I could activate Sapphire Pegasus’s ability to let me place a Crystal Beast from my deck into my spell and trap card zone… but I don’t think it matters at the moment.” She said as Mike stared at the army of monsters in horror before quickly turning to his fingers and counting before snapping his head up, a nervous grin on his face “H-ha! You... you don’t have enough bitch! I’ll still have lifepoints left even if you attack me with all of them!” he shouted as both Selanine and Petie giggled. Petie saw the card the fox was idly playing with in her hand and knew what was about to happen… when she handed it to him.
“Cupid? Would you be a dear for mommy and play this card?” she asked sweetly, making him giggle “Otay! I pway da Big Mawch of da Animaws!” he squeaked as he clumsily put the card on the table and Selanine rubbed his head affectionately “Such a smart boy!” she cooed before looking to Mike “The Big March of Animals gives all beast type monsters on my field 200 attack for each beast type on my field… with four of them that’s 800 each.” She explained as the monsters attack shot up (2000/400) (2400/1000) (2500/1600) (2600/1200) she laughed softly “Usually I am against overdoing it… but I do not approve of such language and action around my son. Attack with Crystal Parade!” Mike had just enough time to scream one last obscenity before all four of the beasts trampled him, leaving the mankey stunned on the floor as he groaned weakly.

Selanine clapped her paws as she swept her tails to gather her cards before the table sank back into the floor. "Thank you for those few moments of entertainment." she laughed. Getting up she set Petie on the throne, handing him the cards from her tails. "Cupid sweetie, would you make sure all of momma's cards are facing the right way for me? I'm gonna go punish the naughty boy over there." Selanine said, looking back over at Mike with a wicked grin that made her suddenly very terrifying. "I bet he forgot his mythology lesson about Venus and how she was a very vengeful Goddess too. Of the Olympian Goddesses only Hera's wrath was more terrible."
Petie shuffled the cards, not really paying attention to what he was doing as he stared transfixed at Selanine. Mike meanwhile was frantically trying to scoot back in sheer terror as he stammered "W-w-what are you g-gonna do to me!?" he squeaked fearfully as Petie had the distinct impression that between being trampled and the vengeful goddess bearing down on him Mike might have wet himself. Watching him frantically scoot back for a moment Selanine waved a tail and the hallway behind the fearful Mankey disappeared, leaving no way for him out of the room.
"Let's see... you swore like a sailor in front of my baby... you hit on me repeatedly with the notion I was the least bit impressed with you... what would be appropriate?" She asked tapping her chin and her wicked grin spread even further. "I think I've an idea... you saw me as nothing more than a prize or a toy... why not make you a statue? Venus cursed a group of sisters for being more beautiful than her and turned them into the Gorgons so making you into solid stone shouldn't be too much of a stretch... or would you like a Mankey action figure Cupid? Mommy does like to give her children toys."
Petie giggled happily and clapped to show his approval on the idea as Mike proceeded to HURL his dignity off a building in a way Petie almost didn't think was possible. He was on his knees with his face on the floor as he begged and groveled for mercy, tears of fear streaming down his face and muddling his words as he pleaded for her to spare him. "Well well well..." Selanine chuckled as she watched this "I must say you are the most immature duelist it's been my experience to face here. None have ever groveled so pathetically..."
She grinned suddenly and looked back at Petie. "I've another idea sweetie. Let the outside match the child within." Her eyes and tailtips both glowed a blazing white as she turned to face him again. "Prepare yourself mortal!" Her voice echoed and boomed with power. "The time for your punishment has come!" She gave him one last moment to scream before a white flame shot from the ends of her tails and engulfed him.
Petie looked on in terror as Mike let out a shrill scream as the flames engulfed him... and his scream seemed to grow higher pitched till it was something Petie recognized… an infant’s sobs and wails. As the flames dies down his clothes lay there in a heap, a small squirming lump inside them. Petie stared, his brain trying to convince him that Selanine couldn't have possibly done what he thought she'd done. Selanine giggled over at Petie. "Don't worry dear. He's not hurt..." She reached down and gently pulled the shirt away from the lump, revealing a baby Mankey beneath. "He's simply of a more appropriate stature now... don't you think baby Mikey?"
Petie stared in slack jawed stupefaction as the tiny infant cried harder, flailing his little limbs as tears streamed down his cheeks, a little puddle underneath him. Selanine chuckled and kneeled down in front of him. "Awww... looks like the tough guy had an accident." she teased. "You should count yourself lucky mister. The Hidden Duelists have quite a bit of power and I have plenty of my own as it is. Were it my call you'd be a baby for a few years at least! You could use them to be raised properly again.” She explained softly, gently stroking the babies tummy as Mike cried harder.
“The park's rules however only permit a transformation punishment to last twenty-four hours so you won't come even close to a thousand year curse. And before you start thinking you'll get lucky and get to suckle from me, I'll be taking you to our Park's daycare to stay for the whole time of your punishment. And if you think you'll be able to file a lawsuit for this... one you signed an effective supernatural contract agreeing to a shadow duel, and two I doubt anyone is gonna believe a word of this. Now... come to Auntie Venus and we'll go take you to play nice with all the other little babies." She cooed, gently stroking the baby’s head.
The little Mankey looked up to her in fear, sniffling and sucking hard on his thumb for comfort. He seemed relieved that it'd just be for 24 hours... but judging by his blush and mournful eyes his pride was already fatally damaged. The infant just curled up a little, still sprawled on his back as he looked up to Selanine. Selanine giggled and nodded at the look in his eye. "I can see you've learned a lesson already. Good." She commented. She grabbed his shirt again and in a few moments and some skilled tying she had him in a make-shift cloth diaper.
"Just because I'm nice this is to preserve what little dignity you have left. I hope you'll learn to be a little more polite with women and watch your tongue around babies from now on." Selanine said as she plucked him up off the floor and giggled as she cradled him in on arm before walking back over to Petie. "After we send the new baby on his way we’ll see about getting you some new clothes dear, you can’t walk around the park dressed like that now can you?” she asked, giggling a little as Petie blushed at the thought and nodded, trying to climb down from the throne and his thick diaper making him lose balance and land on it, bouncing a little and looking adorable as his wings fluttered in embarrassment.
Selanine giggled and picked Petie up with her free arm. "Here sweetie. Let me help you." she nuzzled his nose as soon as it was in range while simultaneously pressing another hidden button on her throne. It slid to the side and from a hole in the floor a small bassinet rose up. "This is your stop Mikey!" Selanine teased. "This basinet has a matching one up in Shine Palace. It's a one way teleporter from here and it alerts the workers there that you've arrived when it's used. Oh! Almost forgot!"
She set Petie back down on the throne and set Mike down in the bassinet as she grabbed an authentic looking scroll from a hidden compartment below the Mankey. "Need to give them a note suggesting how you'll spend your stay. Keep him occupied for a moment, will you Cupid?" Petie nodded and waddled over to the bassinet, looking down at Mike who was still softly crying. Standing on his tippie toes to reach Petie gently rubbed the sad babies tummy making him blush and coo despite himself. The teddiursa was good with babies, even ones made by the wrath of a goddess.
Selanine smiled as she watched out of one eye, using a tail to write on the scroll. It only took her a minute before she slipped it in next to Mikey. "I told them to give you to the prettiest caretaker they could find." Selanine giggled. "So long as you behave yourself, in exactly twenty-four hours you're going to feel a severe need to nap. When you wake up, you'll be back in your hotel room with your belongings returned." She gestured a tail over to his remaining clothes, deck, and duel disk as she said belongings "However... misbehave or attempt to act towards your caretakers as you did in our duel and you might find my spell lasting... a little longer."
As she paused to pick Petie up again Selanine waved once to the Mankey before he could protest. A flash of light later and the fighting-type was gone. "I hope he believed me when I said it could last longer." she commented to the teddy in her arms. "Might keep him out of trouble." Petie waved as well as Mike vanished and nodded "Yeah... dis might be good for him... though he pwobabwy desewved worse with how he acted..." he lisped... not having realized in all the excitement and wonder that he was in severe need of a fresh diaper.
Selanine nodded and shifted Petie onto one hip as she started towards the hallway she'd come in from with Petie. "Oh trust me... he certainly did but my standard punishment is regression." Selanine chuckled. "There's plenty more ideas I had, but most would be rated PG-13 at minimum for the torture. For now though I think we need a break. Somebody needs a diaper change again and it's certainly not me." Petie blinked, confused at what she meant till the realization dawned on him and he hid his face in his paws, blushing and whimpering in shame and embarrassment. This usually never happened to him! Everything going on must have messed him up and… and… he sniffled, eyes tearing up a little.
Two tails rose up, one behind him and one in front. The one behind rubbed his back soothingly while the one in front started playfully trying to squirm under his hands and arms, like a feral Furret looking for hugs. "Don't worry so much about it sweetie." Selanine advised him with a giggle. "Half my kids wear them full time and the other half for some odd reason actually like wearing them some days for fun. I'm used to changing little stinkers." Petie sniffled, hugging the tail and nodding weakly, still horribly embarrassed… too much so to even really think about what she’d said.
Selanine smiled down at him as she walked into a lavishly furnished locker room. "There you go. This is the locker and break room for the park Duelists, hence the luxury." Selanine explained as she set Petie down on a padded bench. She turned back around and after a moment had a locker open in front of him. "Luckily I keep some supplies and spare clothes for my kids in here. I should have some... thing... for you..." she stopped after a moment and giggled at him. "I'm gonna be close to squealing over how cute you're gonna look in this but please don't hate me.” She said as she pulled a Baby Dragon onesie, complete with a hood and attached wings, and matching booties out of the locker.
Petie’s jaw dropped and he somehow managed to blush HARDER as he looked at the onesie... but he whimpered as he realized he was out of options at this point "Otay..." he lisped in surrender. Nodding Selanine reached into the locker again and grabbed a Cuddlebutts Night-Time diaper which Petie was familiar with since he wore them every night.. "Sorry but these are the only ones in my locker." She explained as she undid the cloth around his waist. "Aside from my daughter my kids prefer em thick." picked up the wipes and powder she grinned at him again "At least it's not a Waddler right?"
Sighing Petie laid back and went limp so she could work "Fine... I should be able to walk in that... I think..." he said as Selanine giggled and rubbed his belly with one tail as she started removing the tapes. "They can. You should too." she assured him, though she neglected to mention the serious waddle he'd be sporting as he walked…. but Petie already knew that and sighed again... as a voice suddenly chirped from next to them.
"Hiiii Selanine!"
They both looked up sharply, though Selanine continued opening the diaper and cleaning Petie up reflexively with her tails. "Oh! Princess! What a surprise!" She smiled as she looked at the intruder "I was actually gonna head on over to your area soon as I cleaned up in here." She said as Petie stared in slacked jawed awe as the spitting image of Madolche Puddingcess stood in front of him. The girl giggled softly and smiled, standing about a head and a half taller than him. "I was rather surprised to see you... did you adopt a new little one?" she asked, smiling to Petie who suddenly realized he was really exposed. Whimpering he curled up as the Puddingcess look-a-like gently stroked his head reassuringly.
Selanine giggled and shook her head as a couple of her tails reached out and gently held the squirming teddy down so she could powder him. "Nope! Babysitting you could say." she answered. "This is Petie! Petie... this might be hard to believe but this is the real Duel Spirit of Madolche Puddingcess. Princess, it might interest you to know that Petie here is the toddler that beat Star Sparrow a couple days ago... with your deck no less!" She finished introducing the two of them just as her tails taped the new diaper around Petie's waist. She thanked Arceus for Petie's sake she was well practiced with using her tails as extra hands, particularly for diaper changes.
"Oooooh?" she said, suddenly very attentive "So this is the little potential duelist I've been hearing so much about!" she cooed happily as she sat Petie up, the teddiursa too stunned from this news to do more then let her cuddle him "It's wonderful to meet you cutie! Always nice to meet a Madolche user, especially one so skilled at such a young age!" she chirped happily as Selanine made a shushing motion with her tail when the Teddiursa wasn't looking to remind her NOT to spill the beans the park was considering hiring Petie and Rose as Puddingcess giggled and winked back knowingly to her.
"Yes indeed." Selanine said, hoping Petie hadn't read into that comment too much. "This is the little prodigy that has us talking. You've caused quite a little uproar in the break room Petie." She turned around as she spoke and dropped her toga from around her shoulders, wisely using her tails to cover her more sensitive spots from view. Hidden Duelists normally weren’t allowed to wear their costumes when “Aboveground” (Park slang for the place guests can see) so she’d have to change.
Petie squeaked and looked away as he realized Selanine was changing, blushing and covering his eyes as he did so. Meanwhile Puddingcess giggled softly and moved him to sit on her lap "Tell me sweetie... what cards do you use in your deck?" she asked making Petie blink and think it over for a moment before starting to slowly list them off, trying to remember all of them as he ticked each one off on his little paws while both ladies listened intently, slightly concerned looks on their faces.
Selanine giggled as she listened, slipping on a plain black t-shirt and a dark pair of blue jeans while Petie talked. "Forgive me for saying dear... but your deck sounds a little scattered if I know the Madolche cards as well as I think." she commented after Petie finished "Then again that's not a card type I use so I could be wrong. What do you think Puddingcess? You know every strategy this deck can dish out." She asked as Petie's face fell at that comment and it fell even further when he saw Puddingcess shaking her head softly and tisking "No, no, no, no, no that'll never do." she said softly, stroking Petie's head like a concerned older sister "I commend you on your skills playing the deck so well in that state but there is undoubtedly improving you need to do."
Petie looked at her in confusion as Puddingcess smiled “You see Petie, Madolche cards support each other, that is a simple fact… but that DOESN’T mean they work together perfectly.” She explained, taking on an authoritative tone that didn’t suit her cute looks “Now you can gear your deck to focus on summoning Tiaramisu, you can gear your deck towards using me, you can even use something like Guardian Eatos, but just throwing every Madolche card into a deck willy-nilly? That’s asking for trouble.” She said, sighing softly as she saw the utterly blank look on Petie’s face before gently ruffling his hair “Maybe you’d understand better if you saw what I mean rather than me trying to explain…”
Selanine laughed and nodded picking him up out of Puddingcess’s arms "I think you should show him in a duel." Selanine suggested. "I'm gonna take him up to the Chateau to wait for his mommy anyway so maybe a duelist might catch your eye?" she said as she slipped little clawed booties onto Petie’s feet before pulling the onesie down over him and snapped it over his diaper. "Oh that is so cute on you!" She giggled as she offered him back to Puddingcess as the girl laughed softly "I would dear Selanine, but I just stopped by for a moment. I actually have an appointment I need to keep..." she gave Petie a playful kiss on the cheek "But I'll see this little charmer later, I'm sure of it." she said before seeming to vanish into thin air leaving a very confused Petie dangling from Selanine's paws.
Selanine chuckled and scooped Petie in closer. "I think she likes you sweetie." she teased as she lifted the hood up over his head completing the adorable Baby Dragon look "How about we get you an ice cream for being such a good little Cupid? I know a lovely spot over at the Madolche Chateau." She offered as Petie blushed and nodded "O-otay..." he squeaked timidly as he leaned against her "Sewanine?" he lisped, apparently overwhelmed enough by everything that had happened his mannerisms had regressed a little. Selanine giggled down at him at this "Yes dear?" she asked as she walked back out of the locker room and down the halls.
"... wha did she mean by... potiential duewist?"
Selanine thought fast and smiled to him "A duelist with great potential is what she meant dear. Just a quicker way of saying it is all." She answered smoothly as she walked into a room filled with glowing white pads. "You might want to hold on tight... we'll be teleporting to the Chateau." Petie whimpered, being vaguely familiar with Sliph Co. teleport pads… they always upset his stomach and he’d had enough diaper changes for the day to be honest. Before he could protest though she stepped onto the pad and they glowed making Petie close his eyes tight and prepare for the worst.
********************
Minutes later, after a diaper check when they got off the teleport, the pair were seated at a table outside an ice cream parlor. Selanine had Petie seated in her lap with a rather sizable hot fudge sundae in front of them both. Selanine had taken a few bites but decided to let Petie have the rest while she scanned the crowd for signs of Petie's momma. She'd made a quick phone call to the Shine Palace to have them contact his momma and tell her she'd be waiting in the Madolche Chateau area for her and to look for the three Will-o-Wisps Selanine had idly circling above them.
Petie, prouder of himself then he should have been to be dry and clean after the teleport, was shoveling ice cream into his mouth (and all over his face) as a sound like a large bear tearing through the crowd towards their direction could be heard. Selanine chuckled nervously on hearing the sounds. "Brace yourself Petie..." she warned him. "I think I hear a frantic momma bear approaching... I know from experience nothing is more terrifying." She said before realizing her lap was empty and looking up to see a thickly padded bottom frantically waddling in the direction of the sound, the little wings on his onesie bobbing as he went.
Selanine laughed and followed after him, weaving through the crowd with as much grace as you'd expect from a Ninetales as she tried to catch up to Petie to make sure nobody stepped on the poor Teddy. As an afterthought she grabbed the Wisps with a casual Psychic and flew them overhead to mark their position. Selanine caught up to him a little late though as Petie was in Momma's arms as she hugged him closely, kissing his face as she all but smothered him in affection while alternating between chastising him for wandering off and pure joy that he was okay.
"Mrs. Julafton I presume?" Selanine chuckled as she walked up to them. "My name is Selanine. I work for the park and met your two older children yesterday." The ursaring continued to coo and cradle Petie for a moment more before looking up "Please, call me Gwen... or Momma if you want... you're the one who took care of Petie?" she asked softly. Selanine nodded and smiled "Yes, I took the liberty of watching him. It seems he stumbled upon one of our duelists cosplaying Vennominaga and went into a bit of a fit. I doubt he really intended to get separated from you."
Gwen nodded, the explanation good enough to satisfy her since she knew about Petie’s snake phobia... she was just happy he was safe "Thank you for taking care of him...” she said as Selanine nodded again. "It was no trouble at all!" she said. "He was quite a joy to care for too. I would have brought him back sooner but I had a bit of work I had to do which he actually assisted me with. Also had to get him some clothes. He kinda squirmed out of his pants somehow and the doctors had to cut off his shirt. He can keep the onesie though! It looks darling on him!"
Gwen just nodded at that. Selanine could see she was panting softly, judging by her posture and heavy breathing the bear had not only been in a panic but she'd run the whole way here. Giggling the ninetails nodded at her. "Would you like to come and help Petie finish his Sundae? I'll grab a couple cups of tea too." she offered. "You look like you just ran half a marathon. Not that I blame you. I'd scale Mt. Silver for my kids if they were in trouble." Gwen smiled weakly before nodding "A little sit down would be good... um... what was your name again miss?"
"Call me Selanine." she laughed. "I can't give you my stage name. Not supposed to be known to the general public. By the way Petie, keep the duel hush hush until you get to your hotel room with your family okay?"she said before realizing Petie hadn’t heard her... he'd dozed off in his mother’s arms. Gwen chuckled softly "Nice to meet you Selanine." she said politely as she let the ninetails lead her back to the table with the waiting sundae.
Selanine cooed at the sight of sleeping Petie before she offered Gwen the chair in front of the sundae. "Wonderful to meet you too." she said. "What would you like by the way? Tea? Coffee? My treat. I owe Petie." Gwen chuckled lightly "Tea please, I've been trying to cut back on coffee. Even if the twins are born I am trying not to get dependent again." Selanine laughed at that as she ordered some tea "I doubt my house could run without coffee." two minutes later a pair of tall sweet iced teas were delivered to their table "Hope you don't mind it cold."
"It's fine." Gwen said with a smile as she took a long drink of the refreshingly cold beverage, cradling Petie the whole while. Taking a sip of her own tea Selanine smiled "So, I've had the pleasure of meeting two of your children, though it was rather brief with Rose. How many more do you care for?" she asked as Gwen sat the half emptied cup down “Well… I have the twins, Rose is watching them at the moment… wait, care for?” she asked, the choice of wording there striking her as odd.
Selanine nodded. "I say care for as a collective term." she explained. "Whether yours by blood, adoption, fostering or acting surrogate. I have nine under my care now and twelve more are grown and out on their own. Apparently I've a mothering instinct to rival a Kangaskhan or something." Gwen nodded, simply assuming that Selanine had lived a lot longer than her to have that many grown kids since ninetails do have 1000 year lifespands.
Chuckling Gwen lightly stroked the curly tuft of hair on top of Petie’s’ head “Well when you put it that way…” Selanine smiled lightly “I'm guessing there's more than those other two little cuties registered in your hotel room then?" she asked as Momma hung her head, the early problem of Jules and Anne springing back to mind. Selanine paused ".... I take it by your silence they're not really yours and you left them in the care of a friend, am I right?" she asked looking at Gwen "And being you care for them as your own you're feeling guilty about them missing out on this little family vacation?"
"... are you reading my mind? And if so please stop."
"I could sort of but I'm just good at reading people." Selanine answered, shaking her head. "Sorry to be all psycho-analytical. That's a little too invasive of me." Momma sat there for a moment, gently rocking Petie, before sighing and giving in. Explaining the whole detail about Jules and Anne and them considering cutting the vacation short to go back to them. Selanine sipped her tea as she listened to Gwen’s story, nodding every now and again. With one last sip she smiled conspiratorially "I see... what if I told you then there might be a way to get them here?"
Raised an eyebrow Gwen looked at the ninetails suspiciously "... and what might that way be?" she asked as Selanine chuckled. "I'll tell you what." she said. "You do me two favors and I'll fly them out here to stay in the same package you and your family have going right now." Gwen blushed softly at hearing that "Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that..." she said, not wanting to impose any further on the person who'd helped Petie “We’ll just cut our vacation short instead. I don’t want to make you go out of your way…”
Selanine laughed and shook her head. "Trust me it's no trouble at all!" she insisted. "I can get them in free being an employee here and a couple plane tickets is no trouble. Besides! You haven't even heard the favors I wanted yet." Chuckled softly Gwen played with the wings of Petie's outfit "True... what would you like then?" she asked as Selanine gave a, for lack of a better term, foxy smile "Well first... I'd like to be your family's tour guide during your stay." she answered. "I need a few vacation days anyway and that sounds like a fun way to spend it."
Gwen giggled at that "Easily done, and the other favor?" she asks, bouncing Petie on her knee. "The other is a simple little thing called your friendship." Selanine answered, holding out a paw. "Do we have a deal?" Needing no further prompting Gwen took the smaller lady’s paw and shook it “Already done Selanine.” Gwen said with a smile as the fox grasped the paw warmly as she shook it. "Oh! Did forget to ask if I can play with Petie when I guide you too. He is such a sweet little boy. Or is Rose gonna wanna wrestle me for him?”
“She knows how to share, so don't worry... just don't monopolize him... He's my baby boy after all."
"Wouldn't dream of it! I know where little boys belong. Right with a good momma like you. Would you care by the way if I brought one of my own kids?"
“I wouldn't mind at all, I would love to meet your little ones. We can make a playdate of it for them and Petie!”
*******************
“Run that by me one more time please Puddingcess, WHAT is it you want me to do?”
“I want you to duel a cute little cherub.”
“Okay… but why?”
“Well for one he’s a Madolche user who needs a gentle lesson to improve his deck…”
“And?”
“For two he’s that new potential duelist you’ve probably heard about.”
“Oh? The toddler? And wait… you already use Madolche cards so he wouldn’t be allowed to… so why help him?”
“Because I feel it is my duty to teach him, it’ll help him in the long run as a duelist, and it’ll let me see his skills first hand.”
“Fair enough, now why me?”
“Well your deck is perfect for it… and I think you happen to KNOW this little one Ramona.”
“Oh? Tell me more…”

(Anthony) Crystal Abundance… THAT was The most powerful card that I had to avoid seven times when I was going through with my duel. Who needs Rainbow Dragon/Neos with that card in your deck? Also by sheer coincidence, i was just thinking of making a Goblin Deck too. Guess, I'll have to try something else.
Oh, yeah and I guess this is the first time that we've ever communicated with you too. So… Hi. I'm Anthony Anonymous Writer, Cobalt's partner in crime, so to speak. We both can't wait for the next part of the story, we think that Mike was a creep who got it off easy… had he been turned to "stone" that is.
That's all.

I remember when I went against my friend's crystal beast deck he 1 turned rainbow dragon T.T I hated it because I couldn't do anything with a crap hand. Wonder how Jules and Anne will react to hearing they can go to an all payed expense trip. I just hope their heads don't explode!!! *giggles* =^w^= mew?
HA! I knew her punishment would involve turning mike into an infant, I Knew It!!
...now i've curious to what other punishments "Venus" had in mind for mike...especially the "not-so-PG-13" ones...
i find it funny that petie got to see more "under the toga" than mike could ever hope to see...even if he covered his eyes(LIEK A PANSY MATE)
ooh, how furious would he be if he found out...
