"She's not completely better, but Kas found her and got Amariah and Amariah got the rest of us and we got her adequately detached from her demon-and-dragon and gave her slightly off-standard perfect recall and she should be able to unbreak herself the rest of the way," says Shell Bell.

Brilliance jumps up and hugs Sarion.

Sarion hugs him back.

"We interrupted your Bell in the middle of lunch with her dad and one of her friends," says Shell Bell, "so we're waiting for her now. And the others will be along soon. We always throw a party when we find new Bells and this looks like a good place."

"It's really pretty," Brilliance says cheerfully.

"Yeah, where are we, is your Bell Earth-based?"

"She's Earth-based but she's not stuck there," says Brilliance. "I found this planet for us to practice magic on, and then when the Joker showed up he copied it into the solar system for fun. We're on the copy."

"Oh, so that's where he went, he didn't show up to the heap. Who'll be along in a sec, you'll be pleased to know."

"Hi," says Aurora, appearing with Lexi and bowls of macaroni and cheese, one of which she offers to Brilliance, "you must be the elf one and one of the one who's not easily visually distinguished? I decided to go by Aurora."

"The elf one is going by Sarion and I'm Shell Bell," says Shell Bell. "Do you want to set up here for a party or have it somewhere else? We could just as easily meet everyone back at my palace. Who's your friend?"

"I'm her twin sister," says Lexi. "I hear none of the rest of you have 'em."

"No," says Shell Bell, blinking, "we don't. What's your name?"

"Lexi. Well, Alexandra, but, Lexi."

The Joker teleports to the appropriate location.

"She's got enough Charlie in her to not care about everything, but I am not sneaking around behind her back if that's what you mean, I trust her," says Aurora. "And sure, let's have a party on this here planet, can you set up, I don't know the guest list."

"Sure," says Shell Bell, and presently a setup not unlike the first Bell party on Mars decorates Planet Rainbowsand, although Shell Bell doesn't put out bowls of triangles and squares.

"Aren't you pretty!" says the Joker to the unicorn.

"Wow," says the unicorn to the Joker. "I mean - yes. Yes, I'm very pretty."

"Oh my god you are a real unicorn let me hug you," exclaims Lexi.

"Sure!" says Liselen, arching his neck.

Lexi hugs him with all appropriate enthusiasm for a unicorn-loving teenage girl who has just met a real live example.
