《SimpleMinded》Practice And The Park.

I wake up with Rafiki hitting my face. "Get off before I throw you off." He points at his diaper and I sit up. "Go to the bathroom. I'm right behind you." I rub my face and stretch. I go to the bathroom and change Rafiki diaper.
I take a quick shower and help Rafiki get dress. I throw on some cargo shorts and a black t-shirt. "Let's go see Haven." I say to Rafiki as he runs out of the room. I follow him to Haven room, "Haven, wake up." The blanket falls off her body and I turn away from her, "You're naked once again."
She gets out of bed, "I hate clothes." I make her bed up, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll bring you some clothes." I take out a flower pattern romper out for her and some blue sandals.
Five minutes later Adam walks in at the same time Haven walks out. "I was wondering if yo-." He stops talking and he stares at Haven with wide eyes. I look at Haven, "I forgot she was naked!"
I stand in front of Haven and look at Adam, "What do you need?" He is frozen in his spot with his mouth open and eyes widen in shock. "Um, I-I forgot." Haven comes from behind me to pick up her clothes. "We'll see you downstairs in a few." He slowly nods his head and walks out.
I fall to the floor and groan. "Did I do something wrong?" I shake my head at Haven question, "No, just get dress so we can meet everybody downstairs." She puts her clothes on and I stand up. "Let me put your hair up in a bun." I do her hair and we head downstairs.
"Let's go." I pick up the keys to the van and we all walk out to my garage. My eyes land on Haven, "You want to take Bean and Rafiki with us?" She nods her head, "Yes."
I look over at Jay and see bags under his eyes, "Why does it look like you didn't get any sleep?" He looks at me and yawns, "I couldn't sleep because of the scary movies." I roll my eyes as we get in the van, "You are definitely a punk."
He gives me the finger and we all laugh. It takes us two hours to get to the warehouse. We walk in and everybody eyes fall on us. "Is there something on our faces?" Kylie asks as we walk up to Brit. Brit walks up to us and grabs my arm, "Finally! We have to hurry up and practice your runway walk."
Brit workers start taking everybody else to separate rooms, "No, she comes with us." I say to a man who walks up to Haven. I grab Haven arm and pull her with me and Brit. Rafiki jumps on my shoulder, "Behave yourself, don't do anything stupid and I mean it. Do you understand?" He nods his head and runs off towards Bean.

"Who's the designer you want to impress anyway?" Brit waves me off, "She's from France and you wouldn't even be able to pronounce her name. Do you have any restrictions on you and Haven?" Before I could answer her, Haven steps in front of me and hug me. "Our hair. It stays." Brit looks at her with wide eyes and I laugh, "Anything is okay, except cutting our hair."
"Okay, we're just going to do hair and makeup. Then I'm going to teach you guys how to runway walk."
"It takes you two hours?! Why the hell does it take you so long?!" Brit plucks me in the forehead, "Stop yelling, I'm not the only one who takes long." We walk towards the runway and Clare starts cheering, "Ah!! I'm getting closer and closer to being a runway model!"
Haven stands in front of me and Brit turns to look at all of us. "Everybody do a runway walk, so I can see where you are all at." Clare steps up and starts walking, then Kylie, then Rylee. Me and the boys went next and finally Haven.
"You actually did good, Haven. Kylie, Jay, and Adam need extra work. I will be working with you guys. The rest of you will be working with Dexter." I look at Brit with confusion and she laughs, "Did you forget your best friend is a part-time model? Where the hell is Dexter?!"
One of the workers stops, "He's in your dressing room sleep, ma'am." Brit drops her head, "Tell him I said he better be in here in the next thirty seconds or I will do more than just glare at him." The worker runs off and Brit looks back at Kylie and her group.
Less than a minute later Dexter comes running in. "I'm here, I fell asleep. Wa-Wait a minute. Niall didn't suck at the runway walk?!" I give him the finger and he throws his hands up in surrender, "Haven, can you do the walk for me, I want to see for myself." Me and Dexter stand behind her and she turns to look at me, "I thought so. Haven, when you walked the first time, did you keep your eyes on Niall?"
She nods her head, "I don't see other people." Dexter puts his hands in his pockets and walks over to Brit. He whispers in her ear and she says something back. "What's wrong?" I ask him as he walks back towards us, "You and Haven will most likely be walking the runway together. It's going to take to long to teach Haven how to walk without looking at you." My eyes land on Haven and she has her head down with a defeated look on her face.
I take Rylee advice and decide to let Haven get over it herself. We follow Dexter and he shows us all the outfits we will be wearing. My mouth drop and Clare starts jumping up and down, "Oh My God!! I can't wait!!" From the corner of my eye, I see Rafiki and Bean with a bag of food.

"Rafiki! Bean! Come here!" Rafiki screeches as he slowly walks over to me. A model comes up to me, "Did he steal this?" She shakes her head and laughs, "No, I gave it to them. They kept looking at the snack table, so I gave them a bag of food." Rafiki sticks his tongue out at me and I roll my eyes, "Go somewhere. Sorry, I thought you stole the food."
He shakes his head and then runs off with Bean behind him. "Y'all are going to practice on the runway. So, all the women put on some heels and guys just be ready."
"Want me to help you pick out some heels?" Haven looks at me and shakes her head, "I already have some." She holds up some gold heels and I smile at her. She puts them on as soon as some music starts playing.
"Niall and Haven will be going last each time. The others can choose for each of their turns if they want a partner or not." Dexter tell us as we line up, "When the first person goes out, count to five to go after them." He sends Clare out first and then Ty walks five seconds later.
Me and Haven soon start walking, "Woohh!! Go, Haven!!" We look towards the voice and see Kylie jumping up and down. Haven smiles and waves at Kylie.
We are finally done walking back and forth. We also had to do a couple of our walks in the clothes. "We are done for today." Brit says as she sits on Dexter lap, "Finally, when is the show?"
She starts playing with her hair and I drop my head and groan, "Can I guess? Let me guess, the show is in about two weeks or less." Dexter starts coughing and Brit clears her throat, "Um, how about next week."
"Next week!!!" We all shout at the same time. Only my sister would do something so last minute. I stand up just as Bean and Rafiki run up to me, "I'm calling it a day. When is our next practice?"
"The day after tomorrow. I'm giving y'all a break since we practiced so much today." I walk to the exit with everybody behind me, "I feel like I just worked a twelve-hour shift with no break." Jay groans out as we walk to the van.
I look at Haven and see her yawning, "You can take a nap on our way home."
Two hours later we arrive back at my house, "I'm going home and taking me a long nap or I might just stay sleep for the rest of the day. Depends on how I feel." Adam says as he carries a sleeping Clare to the car.
The rest decide to go home themselves. I let out a happy sigh as I walk in my house with only Haven and our two pets. "Can we go to the park?" I look back at Haven and I legit almost awe at her cuteness, I'm getting a softer and softer heart around her.
"When? Now?" She nods her head and I put down the van keys and I pick up my car keys. "Let's go." She picks up Bean as we walk back out of the house. I was really hoping I get to sit in my bed for a little bit, I guess that will have to wait for another hour or two.
"Why do you want to go to the park all of a sudden?" She looks at me and then out the window, "The movies. The movies show people at the park all the time." I drive us to the closest park which is only twenty minutes away.
Luckily there aren't a lot of kids here. Knowing Haven, she would probably like to get on the slides. "I'm going to sit on the bench. Just call me if you want me or anything. Rafiki behave." I say to Rafiki before he could even run off.
I feel like I'm watching my kid at the park, but instead, I'm watching a grown woman. I watch as Haven try to go up the steps, but she keeps stepping back as a kid would come up. "Don't tell me she's scared to be around children."
Bean sits by my feet and Rafiki plays on the monkey bars. I look back at Haven and see that she finally is climbing the little stairs. "I'm surprised she hasn't come to me yet."
Minutes later a whole bunch of families starts coming. I see panic on Haven's face as she tries to get away from all the kids. Rafiki runs over to me and pulls at my left pant leg, I look down at him and he is pointing at Haven. I'm going to wait for her to look at me, if she needs help she will look at me.
She walks over to the slide and slowly sits down. A small smile creep on my lips as I watch her slide down. She looks around and her eyes land on the swings. A young boy beats her to the only swing open and she visibly pouts. I let out a soft laugh as she waits for an open swing.
Five minutes later a swing is finally open and she quickly sits down. She watches the other kids swing and then try so herself. "Niall Andrews."
I look up and see the one woman I hoped to never see again.

Sovereign
Is it possible to become a supreme being? After his withdrawal from Space Forces, in which he had spent twenty years of life, Captain Sava Gromov desires an extra reason for his existence. With a vague idea of becoming a merchant, he buys a secondhand spacecraft, loads the cargo, and leaves for an adventurous journey through the Solar System. On his way, he receives an SOS coming from a damaged research spaceship. To rescue the crew in a crisis is the easier part; the harder part comes afterward. The research team discovered an abandoned weapon, originating from a forgotten empire. Unfortunately, not everyone considers the vanished empire harmless. There is an organization actively destroying its remnants.

Choosing the latter, Gromov assimilates with inhuman digital being into the ultimate symbiosis of the organic and digital world. The Universe turned out to be a dangerous place: full of conflicts, threatening aliens, and unpredictable twists. The unmanageable chaos dwells in desperate need of a unifying force. Will Gromov become the Sovereign of the Solar System? Or will he become the ultimate enemy of humankind? There is an official repository for Sovereign on Github.
