Summary: New Years Day, Seth, Tara, and Meri are suddenly returned to New York.

They'd been in their room at the hotel, Seth keeping a close watch on his new minigun so Meri didn't mess with it, when suddenly they found themselves transported back to the front of Seth's mansion. And of course it's snowing.

"Freaking ubergods think they could at least port us inside," Seth grumbles. He takes his jacket off and wraps it around Tara and Meri. He gets out his cellphone. "Tyler? Yeah, we're back! Could you let us in? Okay, thanks."

Meri's got her puzzle book tucked under her arm. And a the change, she's looking at everything. "Nice house, Daddy. What happens now?"

"Hey, Tyler," Tara says as she carries Meri inside as soon as he gets out of the way.

Meri looks at him with interest, and once they're inside, reaches out a hand. "Meriset Fizzini, Goddess of Progress." If there was a slight lisp in the word progress, it would be wise for nobody to point that out.

But the corners of those fingers will be shaken emphatically. "We did the baby thing, but too slow. This is much better."

"Yes! I want noodles and meat and momma said there were pickled green beans."

"How is there harm in discussing the heights of culinary art, Boss?" Tara asks, although she realizes she might have eaten a bit too many of them while pregnant if Meri is craving them.

"But yeah, sweetie. We can find you some."

Tara laughs at that as she takes Meri down to towards the kitchen, so Meri laughs, too.

He'll find his ex-wife and daughter already laying out some cold cuts from the fridge and checking the pantry. "Yep. You want anything, boss?"

"'Cause chaos is already handled," Meri says earnestly between bites.

"Well, it needs doing, Daddy. And progress comes next. I mean, you take a sij ... sit-u-a-tion, you add chaos or its just going to sit there being boring. You add new ideas -- thank you, Momma -- and then you move forward. So that's my turf."

Tara blinks. "Meri, have somebody been reading you Hegel and Marx?"

"No, Momma. But as soon as I figure out what those are, I'll read them myself. I'm getting really good. Four pages yesterday."

"Thanks, Daddy. Daddy, do you mind not having your regular ears and teeth here, and Momma's horns?"

Tara looked at him and smiled, then at Meri. "Yeah, pretty much that, sweetie. And I enjoy getting the horns back sometimes, but you know, it's easier to appreciate them and enjoy them when I don't always have them."

"Makes sense, I guess," said Meri. "What is Tyler? Is he a small giant?"
