This is what I managed to accomplish while on a seven-hour bus ride (surprisingly enjoyable as they were showing movies). Sorry if it's short, I just thought the idea was cute. And it turned out longer than I thought it would.
Bedtime
After a chance encounter with the sock monster (one of Rhys' failed attempts at joking around with the kids), Gortys was spending most nights in her parents' bed. Fiona wasn't very happy about it, she thought the little robot was getting too old for such habits. But looking at Gortys' terrified expression as she asked her father to check for monsters under her bed was enough to force even Fiona to make an exception from her normally strict rules regarding her sleep routines ("Never, EVER wake me up") and let Gortys stay with them. Tonight, however, she was beginning to regret it.
She'd just begun to drift off when a squeaky voice piped up beside her.
"Daddy, can you read me a story? Pleeeeeease?!"
Fiona heard Rhys groan lightly beside her, and decided to take the hit for him.
"Sweetie, daddy's tired right now, but I'd be happy to read you a story. "
Rhys mouthed a silent "thank you" and she shrugged at him as if to say "What are wives for?".
A moment later, she smiled as Gortys jumped up shouting "YAYYY!" and nearly trampled Rhys in the process. Then she yawned and tried not to think about the fact that her pillow was so, so soft...
"This one!" Gortys rolled up with 'The Hustler and the Skag'. Fiona took it wearily and started reading.
"Once upon a time there lived a beautiful girl on the dusty plains of Pandora..."
A while later, the story was finished and the hustler had been happily married to the skag (who had turned out to be an enchanted Hyperion employee). Fiona, who was now on the verge of sleep, tucked Gortys in.
She got into bed herself and shut her eyes, almost as-
"Mommy, do penguins have knees?"
Fiona's eyes snapped open and she was about to tell Gortys that now she'd really gone too far when she heard Rhys' sleepy voice, he must have woken up.
"That's a very interesting question, actually..."
She gave him the evil eye over Gortys' head, but he just held up a hand, asking her to wait a moment. She raised her eyebrows expectantly and he turned to Gortys.
"You know, Gortys, this is such a complicated question I think we'll have to take it to the kitchen and draw it out. Whad'ya say?"
Gortys immediately hopped out of bed and got her crayons and some paper, then stood impatiently by the door.
Rhys nodded at Fiona and she understood that they were now even. They left, and she snuggled comfortably into the mattress, finally able to get some well-deserved rest. Her final thought before drifting off was that her family may be dysfunctional, but she couldn’t ever ask for a better one.

of course you're not annoying! it makes me very happy that you find it interesting i've always admired them too, so much i decided i also wanted to do that with my life x). for me it's not a hobby, i wish to devote to it professionally, though i know it's a very challenging profession i love it so much i'm determined to fight for it, because, i don't know, most of the time it feels like the only thing that's really made for me, i'm drawn to it in a way.
my other hobbies are writing, reading, drawing-- what i do around here!
Wow, you're an actress, that's so damn cool ! I always admired them, how well they could make the character seem so alive and real, and all the emotions also. Do you have any other hobbies? sorry if I'm annoying .__.

I remembered people on the thread wondering this a while back, that's why I put it in
Thank youuuu! Yeah, I liked making her innocently annoying. Poor little thing doesn't understand the importance of sleep for humans.
Thank you so much! They are awesome parents, can't bear to disappoint their little baby.
God spare me from seeing that strangely creepy picture again...
Thank you! The idea just came to me and then I couldn't not write it. It was supposed to end with Gortys finally going to sleep after Fiona having stayed up several hours to baby her, but then I decided to let good father Rhys meddle in the business
Not sure if you've guys seen this before, so Imma show you all it. After watching this clip numerous times, I came to the realization that t… morehis is something Rhys would totally do at a Christmas party on Helios.

I still don't know what job or profession is the one right for me. I enjoy drawing but I don't draw really special. I do like languages and learning them but I'm only 'pro' at English, German not so much My GPA has always been great but I can't decide what's great for me.
By the way, is your birthday at the 26th July? I think I saw you posting it was very close.

Yup. It's not exactly creepy... more interesting-creepy. In a good way, I learned something new.
Anything between minutes and days, sometimes my inspiration really runs dry :P This fic was a quick one, mostly since it was short and I already had it planned out in my head.
Gortys: "So wait... all this time I was disturbing you and you never told me?"
Rhys: "Yup..."
Fiona: "Uhuh. Pretty much it."
Gortys: "I love you guys!"
Gortys hugs them
