This was urgent. So terribly urgent. Mama could only be of so much help. Francisco Dantes had to call his cousin immediately.

Tanya was going about her merry day getting ready to be dressed as a large bunny girl when the phone rang. Her *other* phone. The one that only five people had access to. Fearing the worst, Tanya rushed over, only to see just which of the five it was. It was Frankie.

"Hey Pequeno! What's the call for?"

"The way this Swiss particle acceleration laboratory is stepping up their experiments could potentially destroy the world, and I'm pretty sure nobody asked Papa if it was okay to destroy the world," Francisco immediately cuts to the chase.

"You mean the thing they discovered at Large Hadron Collider? Frankie, those are smaller than the atom."

[mydadcanbeatup]

"Of course they are! But that doesn't completely discount the possibility -- considering that recent neutrinos experiments indicate that humans still don't fully understand relativity -- that these tests could produce microscopy blackholes that could accrete mass and have macroscopic effects!"

[a_bat_breaker]

"I understand that, Pequeno. But even if we don't totally understand relativity, I'm sure that they would have some advisers and researchers to ensure that does not happen. It's theoretical physics, not 'Blow up the World 101'."

"Hmm." Normally, the Appeal to Authority only works with Francisco when the authority is his parents, particularly his father. "Possibly." He takes a deep breath. "How are your ladyfriends?"

[a_bat_breaker]

"Hey, they have their job, and your Papa has his. They research, he rules."

Tanya chuckles a bit.

"They are good, Pequeno. March is quite a handful but very fun to have around, and Eve is very amusing in her own way. Her machine is the Devil, though."

[mydadcanbeatup]

"You've got to remind it who's boss, Tanya! Bend the device to your will!"

[a_bat_breaker]

"Yes, Pequeno, I know that. I am sure your papa is more than capable of that."

[mydadcanbeatup]

"Definitely. They're just tools, and they always listen to Papa in the end. You can do it, too."

[a_bat_breaker]

This gets a giggle from the other end.

"I know I can do it. I may not be your Papa, but he did pass me on his name. I'm sure he would believe in me if he did that, and to do your papa justice I have do and did. I was looking for work and got it."

[mydadcanbeatup]

"Of course you did!"

[a_bat_breaker]

That will get more laughs out of Tanya.

"Frankie, you are too cute sometimes."

[mydadcanbeatup]

"...Don't say it the way that makes me sound like a little kid, Tanya," says the boy with his teddy bear sitting beside him.

[a_bat_breaker]

"No, no, not 'little kid' cute. You're the same kind of cute that March is. You have a special brand that is unique only to you. Because you worry about subatomic particles not listening to your Papa."

The amusement in her voice is obvious.

[mydadcanbeatup]

A long suffering sign. "Fine."
