"I'll see you around five," Shuri promised. While her duties as Queen of Talokan, she continued her work as the head scientist of Wakanda. It meant a lot of traveling between the two kingdoms. K'uk'ulkan usually stayed with their children in Talokan, but they came up since a Wakandan holiday was coming up."Bye, babe," K'uk'ulkan said. He pressed a kiss onto her lips. After a few moments, they pulled away. "Bye, kids!"Zahra and Zuri, the couple's twins, ran over to her. They wrapped their arms around her legs. Shuri placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "Don't give Auntie Ayo too hard of a time," Shuri whispered. "Remember how angry she got last time."Shuri couldn't be too mad at them. She remembered how she drove Doras crazy when she was a kid. "We won't," Zuri said. Shuri walked outside, waving to them as she left.K'uk'ulkan looked down at the kids. He knew how to keep them entertained in Talokan. He'd usually take them outside to look at all of the wildlife. They loved to stare at the fish. "So, what do you want to do?" K'uk'ulkan asked."Watch Bluey!" Zahra exclaimed."Bluey?" K'uk'ulkan asked. "What is that?""The greatest show ever," Zuri answered. The two dragged their father to the couch. He sat down, and Zahra grabbed the remote. She pressed the microphone button."Bluey," she said into the remote. An animated show appeared. The banner showed a blue puppy. Zahra pressed a button, playing an episode from the beginning. Okay. This is what we're doing. I'll get a good nap at least."I'm home," Shuri said, entering their quarters. While they were staying, the family had a small section of the palace roped off for them.Shuri walked over to her family. Both of their children were curled up to their Dad, dead asleep. K'uk'ulkan, however, had his eyes glued to the TV screen. He was still watching Bluey. "This is a sight I never thought I'd see," Shuri joked. K'uk'ulkan paused the show."The kids wanted to watch it," K'uk'ulkan said. "I wasn't expecting it to be good.""Yeah," Shuri said. "The kids are obsessed with Bluey. Honestly, it's one of the better shows to have constantly played in the palace.""We should get ready," K'uk'ulkan said. "Don't we have dinner with your brother and sister-in-law?""Yeah, but we're staying up late tonight," Shuri said. "If you like this show, I have a lot of other ones you might like."
