(Written Post-Search for Truth. Baised on theory that Darla and Ward are the other two triplets)
Erec Rex was two years old. He reached out and pulled his sister's curly blond hair. Darla Rex began to cry. Then Erec started crying, upset that he upset his sister. Then Darla cried louder, upset that her upset-ness upset Erec. Ward, the straitman of the group, threw his fluffy pillow at his siblings, annoyed by their wails.
"Ssssh!" June hussed, picking up both Erec and Darla, "It's okay!"
June looked down at Ward, to see if he wanted to be picked up too. The two year old gave her a "who do you think I am? Erec?" look and crawled away. June bounced the two triplets up and down.
"Don't you crawl away," a cold voice said, picking up Ward. The little boy made an annoyed noise, but Bathalzar Ugry paid him no mind. He carried Ward over to his siblings.
"Why are they crying this time?" Urgy complained.
"Erec pulled Darla's hair."
Ward struggled against Ugry, but the grown man tightened his grip on the two-year-old. Ugry let the kids know who was boss, but he was caucious of Ward. Ward had yet to demonstrate what power lurked inside his baby body, and he didn't want to be the one to find out first-hand. He was also careful with Darla, who always seemed to catch his colds. Ugry had suspisions about this, but passed it off as a poor immune system.
"Quit crying!" june begged. Ward covered his ears when June's voice spooked his siblings into crying harder. June began crying herself.
"Hard to think these little guys will be ruling a kingdom," Ugry said, "They still need help going to the bathroom."
Ward pouted. He didn't need help. That was Erec. He disliked being lumped into the same group of his brother and sister. Erec sudenly stopped crying, and grabbed June by her hair.
"What?" June asked, teary eyed.
"Cwod Tot," little Erec stated matter-of-factly, as if that made any sense, "Tep to side."
"What?" June asked, more confused now than teary.
"TEP TO SIDE!"
"June, look out!" Urgy yelled, pulling June forward as a lightbulb exploded near her. The sparks nearly set her pants on fire. Darla wailed in terror, as Ugry stamped out the small fire on the carpet. He transfered a now shaken Ward to June and inspected.
"Faulty plug.... Think that's was Erec was trying to say?" Ugry asked, looking up at June.
"What, you think 'Cwod Tot' means 'Faulty Plug'?" June asked sceptically. Lille Erec rolled his eyes, and his siblings giggled. They understood baby talk.
"sounds more like 'Cloud Talk'," june continued. Ward grabbed her by her hair, "Ow!"
"Cwauwdy Thought," he corrected, poorly.
"Cwauwdy?" June asked, then stopped, "You mean, 'Cloudly Thought?'"
Later that night, June told Piter and Hesti all about Erec's 'Cloudy Thoguhts'.
