Question Hank 7: And all who sail in her!

Mule upset that Leanne was brought into the sim as part of Team Kimba and helped get him taken out. We need a drawing of Leanne done up like Supergirl and flying around. Yay, the pixies in the Christmas dresses are back. The Grunts had all those advantages and still almost lost, dang. Guess Gunny is still trying to drill into them not to rely on inflexible strategies and tactics, learn to adapt in the field.

And Gunny figured out they let the Grunts win, darn. Guess can't keep sandbagging sim fights without Gunny catching up. Zeta track and new favorite 'red', arrggggh! The plan backfired, trying to lay low and just drew more attention from Gunny. And also a way for them to get the training they need for those who see through their act. Darn, laughing and enjoying Leanne's antics gave them away. Cut loose an unknown 'red' team, I pity those pitted against them.

Support of the staff to continue their subterfuge, always a good thing to have. Boy, at least they know what they are getting into with the Zeta track. Jade isn't wrong about Hank or Ayla playing the supervillain, without lessons on how to it would be a comedy to watch. Pretend to be teachers and Jade wants to play Imp, bwhahaha, only one of them I would trust with the role. All of Wondercute in Imp's art class, oh boy.

"I can't believe she turns up to teach a class with all of Wondercute in it!" Nikki exclaimed. "Imp's awesome!" Jade repeated with a huge smile.

Leanne sneaking around and trying to mess with Koehnes, only to be caught by Toni and Jade right outside, too predictable. Puppy dog eyes and Toni encouraging her to be more like Jade, yikes. Toni and Jade leading Leanne away from the dorm room, Toni talking about Leanne having Hank's martial arts knowledge, uh oh, please don't train Leanne, Toni. Ah, Poe Martial Arts practice room and show what Leanne and Cabbit have been practicing together. Get Teri involved in this training, no wait, nevermind. Bad idea.

No power behind Leanne's punches or kicks and lacks stamina. Leave it in the hands of the Cabbit, never thought I would read those words. Hank as the supervillain against the Ghost Walkers, he is going to need Jade's help. If only Jade wasn't so enthusiastic, kind of pity Hank having to deal with her right now.

Jade and Leanne at the Wondercute table, can see why Nikki might be concerned about Leanne spending so much time with Jade though, her wackiness might rub off. Treating Leanne like a normal girl despite her size and nature, see why Hank is okay with it. Ah, that is what everyone was forgetting, the difference between memories and muscle memory.

"Come on Nikki, it's Jade! I trust her! Besides, Leanne is just a brownie, how much trouble can they be getting into?" Hank answered with a laugh. Even Lily gave a disbelieving stare at that declaration.

Hank, are you trying to tempt fate or Murphy's law? *sigh* And all of them make Hank's point for him, thinking he can't play a supervillain even with Jade's help. And oh boy, Hank is going to get an earful from Lily later about why he is playing a supervillain.

Leanne slipping back to Poe that stealthily, even at her size that is some feat to pull at Whateley. Spells to help Koehnes to better serve Nikki being used by Leanne, bet that annoys Koehnes greatly. Checking in with Mrs. Horton, good she isn't just sneaking around Poe with no one knowing she is there right now. Listening to a radio station of music while cleaning up Hank and Danny's dorm room, Kitty as a nickname for Danny, cute.

A thump at the door while she is still cleaning, 3 times and she goes to open the door, squealing in terror, just what scared her that is at the door. Ah, the new Kimba doll that carried poor Leanne around Poe, no wonder she freaked, doesn't know it is Jade. Trying to talk to the white lion, it just growling and then forcing its way into the room, Jade needs to learn when to stop teasing someone. The Kimba DVD to indicate what it wants to be called, at least Kimba winks at Leanne so she knows it is Jade animating it. *sigh* Biting and batting at a pinned Leanne, even if that form is plush would be terrifying at her size. At least she realizes the silly lion can't hurt her and is just playing, one less problem for Leanne.

Can't clean the windows and Kimba's butts against, probably trying to give her a lift. Tickling Leanne until she agrees to call her Kimba in this form, not to call her Jade again, silly Jade. Riding 'Kimba' to clean the windows, so many cute scenes in this story.

And riding Kimba to the Crystal Hall for lunch, now there is a rare sight even at Whateley. Sir Didymus, I forgot about him being in Labyrinth, haven't seen that movie in ages. Jim Henson creatures taking over the campus, I don't see that as a bad thing.

Bwhahahahaha, Danny in female mountain lion form chased by Leanne on Jade's Kimba the White Lion plush toy into the forest, Leanne calling out "Kitty!" Priceless. Mounted on a white steed and following this year's bully magnet, oh god, it is a White Stage hunt in cute form. And Ayla bringing back Hank's pronouncement from that morning, never tempt fate.

Hank and Lily kissing, only for Leanne to show up in a get-up like that, *groan* At least Lily and Jade point out Leanne is not She-Ra. Walks up an invisible staircase and then...

"Sausages?" Leanne asked hopefully, causing Hank to burst out laughing.

Teasing the little brownie over just mostly eating sausages. And oh crud, Jade getting an idea looking at Leanne on Kimba and the mention of She-Ra, what chaos will she unleash with this.

Nikki upset and crying again, Leanne remembers to inform Hank thanks to what Sandra said to her, quick learner. *sigh* Something needs to be done to help Nikki with what is troubling her, she can't keep running to the Grove and away from her friends and family. Ayla upset and angry, hope it isn't connected to what is happening with Nikki. Oh boy, no wonder Ayla is upset, dealing with Mr. Williams and his "U.S.A. history is more important than the rest of the world" attitude would get many upset.

An A-, I would be ticked as well, probably given that grade because he put down things from WWI that weren't covered in the class. Dang, forgot how far ahead the other Gen 1 stories are, this is before Hank talks to Nikki and resolves her being upset about what happened in Washington. Toni trying to change the subject with teasing, Hank can't seem to catch a break with the teasing.

Leanne going as far as she can into the Grove to wait for Nikki just for Hank's sake, awww. Even Leanne moved with how sad Nikki looks, even getting her what I assume is a gift from the Grove. A bouquet of flowers for Nikki, so sweet. Refreshing to get the evil eye from Leanne, guess she is used to other attention. And Nikki confused why Leanne doesn't get along with Koehnes, this will be interesting.

Ah, she is an outdoor and indoor brownie but one for common soldier, not Royalty, very interesting. Awww, Nikki wondering if Koehnes serves her or the memory of someone else, worried about Koehnes' loyalty sometimes. Puppy-dog eyes as good as Jade's, Leanne has learned well. Erasing all existence of the campsite, good skill for a soldier's brownie to have. Nikki walking back holding Leanne's hand as they head towards Crystal Hall, glad to see Nikki in good cheer again.

Named the sapling World Tree after Aunghadhail, nice way to remember her. Laughing and smiling while carrying Leanne, that might confuse Hank for a moment. Puppy-dog eyes that potent on a brownie that looks like Nikki, oh god, what has been unleashed, Hahahah, so the puppy dog eyes come from Hank, very interesting and funny. It only worked on Father, Hanna was a sneaky girl. And whoa, Nikki is right, if you went from someone like Leanne in personality to Hank it would confuse anyone who knew you.

And fun to see Nikki teasing Hank again. Oh boy, seeing Hank's dreams and nightmares in Washington, thinking she scares Hank, no wonder she is breaking down and crying so much. Finally, they talk things out and sort this mess, one less reason for Nikki to be upset. Scary Elf Queen in sim matches, how some students don't come away in awe of her even without the glamour is beyond me.

Jade teasing Ayla about his A- and we find out why, Williams is way too "USA! USA!" in attitude to let such a paper fly. No Leanne, Wondercute movie night for the third time in as many days, and more teasing of Hank about being with Lily. Too bad he has a sim match to do, hope it goes well. Toni glad to have happy Nikki back and teasing Hank once more. Molly bought a lot of boxed sets of anime, shopping when she is worried, would hate to see her with a credit card in that state.

Fey's Fairy Princess Fan Club swept Leanne away to the underdog table, uh oh. "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and it is one of Hank's DVDs, never even heard of that movie until now. Bullies avoiding Leanne, hehehe, would love to see her beat them up some more. Huh, that is weird, the shared PK field and the distance it works at varies, curious. Yeah, those limitations sure sound psychological, possibly on both Hank and Leanne's parts. And able to detect where Leanne is at all times along with Lily, Lily able to do the same but detect where Hank is, handy.

Hank followed Jade's advice for playing the supervillain against the Ghost Walkers, the expression on Gunny's face priceless, that is a rare sight. Lily there holding Leanne, Balls of Power as part of his monologue, good grief is that bad. Costume=good, supervillain dialog=bad, definitely have Lily write them next time.

Uh oh, brought in to Mrs. Carson's office, summer antics have caught up with them. The museum adventure in France, Toni's adventure in China adding Cho, Billie going to the Pentagon, plus Nikki helping Kayda with Unchy's 2nd son and then planting the World Tree seed in the Grove, busy summer. All their past incidents and the new ones over the summer, oh boy. A more pressing threat to the continued existence of Whateley than Team Kimba Mrs. Carson can't imagine, yikes. Now put on the 'Alpha' track of sim matches, good grief, the fallout has hit and it is huge.

Toni thinking this is Carson stamping her approval of Gunny's plan, with the gossips brought in right after them I have to wonder if she is deliberating having the news of Team Kimba being on the 'Alpha' track spread. A performance and upset at them, Carson is good. Hank and Ayla prove why they are the team's information gathers and leader, figuring those things out so quickly.

Rematch against the Grunts with Hank on Team Kimba, talk about holding a grudge. Keep the new holdouts under wraps and Jade is upset, how can she have fun without new toys to test. Jade lead Mule into the ambush with Leanne, that boy needs to learn to let go or his grudges are going to get him in trouble. Toni, why oh why did you have to give Jade an idea? Those poor Grunts might be in trouble.

Oh boy, Leanne going back to Poe and waiting outside the dorm room to mess with Koehnes, but slips away unnoticed. Going to the next floor, using the Servants Way to go into Lily's room, and taking care not to move anything. Cleaning and polishing everything, making sure the clothes are all put away properly, then leaves the room with a huge smile, what is Leanne up to.

Lily having to change out of her supersuit due to a devisor spilling who-knows-what on her, never run when carrying a liquid without a lid to contain it. Eat with Ashley and her sister, ouch, hope her sister is doing better. Not wearing any perfume, wonder what Hank smelled then.

Angel talking to Lily about being early to watch the rematch against the Grunts. Lily teasing Angel about not being an RA so has more time to keep her room clean. Hehe, the speech Angel gives her about their fellow students, that close to a perfect Mrs. Horton impression. Uh oh, Angel pointing out all these little details to Lily, she is going to know Leanne has been sneaking in to clean. And she figured it out, Leanne is going to get an earful.

At least Angel points out what Leanne is and how she cares for Hank and Lily too much not to clean for her. So that is the source of the scent, her clothes saturated in the scent from a box of dried flowers and other plants. Hank loves the scent of her new 'perfume', Lily won't do anything to Leanne. Angel going with Lily to watch the rematch, Jade smirking and giggling something fierce all day, now I really pity the Grunts.

Awww, Leanne upset and distraught, the Grunts better have not taken things too far with her, even if it was just a sim. Mule and Bunker hunting down Hank and Leanne relentlessly, ouch, no wonder the poor dear is upset. At least Hank tried to prepare Leanne for being hunted, but Mule needs to learn revenge is a sucker's game. Mule and Bunker covered in glitter, sparkles, and Hello Kitty stickers before tying them up and using them as bait for the others, Jade is just too unpredictable. And glaring daggers, Mule and Bunker are looking at a future of trouble if they don't learn to let things go.

Ayla having to remind them to act upset at losing to the Grunts, no chance of that with Jade in such a good mood, even bringing Leanne along to the Wondercute table. Hank having trouble carding Leanne's meals, hope this doesn't cause too much trouble.

"Well to be fair, Lily's much nicer company then Hank," Nikki joined in the teasing. "After all, little girls much prefer to be with their mothers!" Nikki smiled innocently at Hank as he choked on that statement.

Causing Hank to have a coughing fit and then lying to Lily about causing it, Nikki is in rare form.

Ack! Lily's mom watching the sim match live at home and lecture them on it through video conferencing setup, can't escape even when she isn't at Whateley. Teasing about knowing Hank was almost there through their link, at least Ayla is able to ignore Toni to enjoy a treat from the chefs.

Hehe, love how Lily just swoops in and calmly sweeps Leanne into her arms, before telling her what they need to discuss, she is so a mother right then. Figures Jade would have it all figured out, can't punish Leanne physically without Hank feeling it, has Hank and Lily wrapped around her little fingers, definitely their daughter.

Lily gave Leanne a bubble bath with her special scented soap, no wonder she is so contented. Hank felt everything that Leanne did, no wonder he ran off. And Toni wishing to see what Hank is like after that, new material for teasing. Nikki and Bunny too curious about what condition Hank is in as well.

Fun story loved learning the consequences of all Team Kimba's adventures and sandbagging in the sims. Loved seeing all the interactions with Leanne and learning the spells placed on Poe which the brownies can use, seeing Leanne coming to comfort and cheer up Nikki, she is just so fun to watch no matter who she is interacting with. Plus how rabid Williams is about U.S.A. history to the detriment of his students learning the history of the rest of the world. And loved seeing all the interaction between Hank and Lily. Can't wait for the next piece.
