[After being healed by Usagi, Bubbles spent the rest of the week resting at Riku's house. She was mostly sleeping, since the virus and the healing process took quite a bit out of her. But now she is feeling up to sending messages and she's been told that the zombies and the other town are all gone now, so she takes PCD in hand and pushes the record

Bubbles! Oh, Bubbles, child, you are well! I knew God would be merciful!
Where are you, child? I shall fetch Tybalt from his scouting mission and we shall come to you at once. I have missed you so!

I'm at Riku's house! He let me jump on his bed! It's really big, Juliet!
I've missed you a lot, too! I can't wait to see you! And Tybalt, too. [She gasps a little, remembering something.] Juliet! Juliet, he promised he wouldn't be grumpy for a whole week if I got better! And I got better! [This... is AMAZING.]

[Jump on the bed? Well, she is a child, but still, she is in recovery from an illness!]
You need rest, child. Usagi said lots of rest, so that you may heal fully. You would not wish to still feel poorly for your party, would you? Once we are satisfied that you are truly better, we are giving you a splendid party.
[And that makes her giggle.]
He was truly worried for you if he promised such a thing. I will find him at once, so that he may prepare himself for a week of cheerfulness, beginning the moment we see you again.

[And now her eyes are full of wonder and sparkles.] That's right! You said there would be a party when I felt better! Oh, Juliet, I want to feel my best for the party! I'll be good and get lots of rest, so I can feel good for it!
[She giggles, too.] I think it might be hard for him to be cheerful for a whole week! But we can help him do it! I'm sure he'll have fun.

Worry not, Bubbles. We shall make sure you are in excellent spirits for your party. Octi will help as well.
[She holds up the toy for Bubbles to see.]
He has been my constant companion, but he misses you very much, and looks forward to seeing you again.
We will help Tybalt to be cheerful. We shall draw him pictures and sing for him and let him have a little time to go off and do the things that men do which please them.
[She thinks of hunting, and perhaps finding a glass of wine somewhere, but knowing Tybalt, it will be finding someone to fight out of sight of the two girls.]

I bet if we work together, we can make sure he stays happy all week! What kind of things do you think he'll want to do? Professor always did things in his lab, but Tybalt's really different, so I don't think he'd like doing things like that.

We will do our very best. And Tybalt shall as well.
[She makes a show of concentrating.]
He would enjoy spending time with male friends, I imagine. He is often with our cousins and extended family at home. The young men go off for the day and get into all sorts of trouble and adventures, in which we are not allowed to partake. We shall have to ask him what sorts of things would make him happy to do.
Reply
[No, no. This is probably a terrible, horrible idea.]
There's lots of men in Adstringaling, Juliet! I could find them and fly them home one at a time, so Tybalt could meet them and be friends with them!
[Oh, no, no, no. TERRIBLE idea. But picturing it is making me laugh lol]

[And the image of Bubbles carrying young men by their shirt collars and depositing them on the doorstep causes her to giggle. As does the image of Tybalt's reaction to this.]
I, oh my. I am sure that Tybalt would appreciate your offer, child, but he may not wish for strangers to find themselves at our door. He would worry after the both of us too much.
Reply
[This... Oh, dear.]
Oh, you're right. He DOES worry an awful lot, doesn't he? [She giggles a little. Silly Tybalt!] Well, we don't want to do anything to worry him.

We shall invite him over. I think that would please Tybalt greatly. And we shall spend a little time with them both, and then you and I shall give them some time to spend doing men's things. The menfolk enjoy spending time alone together as much as the womenfolk.
[Too much, in Juliet's opinion.]
We do not wish to make him worry overly much, no. But he is Tybalt, and he will worry no matter what it is we do. We must simply take care not to overstep the bounds of reason. [Which of course, means Juliet's idea of reason, not Tybalt's, since they'd never leave the house if Tybalt had his way.]
Reply
[And she nods seriously at Juliet's words.] I'll be good, Juliet... and I'll try not to make Tybalt worry too much. [She smiles.]
Reply
[aka, play "hunt the Montagues".]
I shall try not to either.
Reply
[Pushing people in mud, killing Montagues... Kinda the same thing? lol]

They do sometimes. I can imagine that he and the others would do things of that sort quite easily. Although, he would never admit to it in front of ladies, so we shall never know for certain. Tybalt is very serious about treating ladies properly.
Reply
[She whispers a little, like it's a big secret.] I really like him, Juliet! I think he's really nice, even though he's grumpy so much.
