Riley did the all-round competition and qualified. Half of her team failed to qualify. That was sad to see. Coach and I had to soothe them to get them to stop crying. "You can always go for the individual events. It's less pressure on you and you get to pick your favorite event." I said. Once that was done. Vince and Liam tried their hand at the all-round competition. This time Liam got in and Vince choked. He was not able to qualify. We gave him the same speech as the girls. Luckily, it worked on him too. If it did not work, I would be at a loss. Ashton, Kendall and Corey dominated the individual events they were in. Vince also qualified for the vault event. Olivia, one of the girls that failed to qualify in the all-round got in for the floor event. Destiny still could not get in. That was fine. Not everyone could be championship level competitors. The meet was over and them qualifiers were automatically registered for the big, continent-wide meet in Monacon City. I was sure that my kids would come home with the gold. It was not for another month though. Hopefully Liam and Vince did not weigh them down.

On the way home, Coach looked at me. "Do you mind if we drop off Liam Vince and Destiny. They live in Micropolis." That was the next town over from Dwan. I nodded. I did not care how long it took. This was about the kids. I said "Sure. They have to get home safe and sound just like any other kid." It was only an in-game hour drive to Micropolis. We drove right up to one of their houses. "Liam. Vince. This is your stop." Coach Stabinsky said. The boys looked like they wanted to stay longer. "We don't have time for this. Get out so we can get the others home. Don't be petulant!" the coach snapped. He really did not take any nonsense. The kids snapped to and got out of the van. Next was delivering Destiny to her house. She was still a little upset about how the qualifiers went. Her dad was waiting outside. It was his problem now. With them out of the van, it was time to return to Dwan and go home. Since we were on the outskirts the van would not pass by the apartment building we made. That was fine. Once we got to the gym I said "You guys can come home when everyone gets picked up."
I wanted to go see Niko and Keith. I actually had something for them. I was able to see Niko right away. He had questions for me. "Where have you been?" he asked. I told him. He did not believe me. Emil said "Why do you even let this liar in here? He is no ally!" he said. He then turned to me and said "You were obviously doing something stupid." I just pulled out the X-frame sexual upgrades. That shut him up. "Here you go Niko. I just want to see our son for a bit." Niko let me talk to him. He did not even recognize me. Doting on him was easy as he was cute. When I was done, I tried to leave. Niko held me tightly. "This is a rare find. Why give upgrade this to me? We're competing for influence and territory in town." he whispered in my ear. There was a shiver that ran down my spine. He leaned on me and said "I can give you some service, since you're here." I smirked and said "Is this your way of saying you miss me? I could use a little service." He went in his room and got the XF-10F. He installed the upgrade and got inside. "Come here." Niko said as he got down on all fours.
