[ Stormy uses her won day with Gene getting him to help her make the perfect vanilla ice cream (Or something close to it, anyway.) FTB, rated G.]

Odd and Stormy spend a quiet afternoon together before they move onto their Paradise. Together forever, as they were destined.

Sacharissa had grown up in the city, in a place very much unlike where she found herself now.
