Hey guys! So, I'm writing this story because right now I'm having writer's block on my main story. This one however is going to be a series of short stories, centered around Aja and Krel's life before we meet them in the series. Basically, before they crash land on earth. This will be all head cannon stuff I've had in my head. Answering questions like how did Morando get banished or how did Krel take a liking to technology? This will be in no particular order, but this is just my way of answering questions that I've had on Aja and Krel's past since it's not really mentioned outside the context of the series.

There will be a slight cannon divergence. I'm pretending that Aja and Krel's ages are like two and a half years apart. Since it is stated in the 3-Below Wiki that they are a year apart in age in their human forms. This will just help some of the stories I plan on writing flow better and make more sense (for me at least).

This is more for me just to get these ideas out of my head, so requests are welcomed. I will NOT however be writing anything from the main series as there are two other stories already in this format that are tackling that. So, if you are to make a suggestion, please cater it to before the series.

So, with that all being said, let's get on with the story!

Chapter 1: The Baby Is Here

It was as if new light had entered the palace. The servants were all more alive than they had been before. Not only was there new light, there was a new life that just entered the world of Akiridion-5.

It had been known across the whole planet that Queen Coranda was pregnant with their second child. They didn't know whether or not it would be a boy or girl at the time of the planetary announcement, but they didn't care anyway. They would be happy either way.

"Daddy, where are we going?" Princess Aja Tarron walked quickly behind her father. She was having a hard time keeping up. Shorter toddler legs not being able to keep up with her father's massive ones.

"You know why." Fialkov, King of Akiridion-5, noticed his daughter struggling to keep up. He smiled and turned around, kneeling to her level and cupping her chin in his hands, "Your special someone is here!"

"He's here?" Aja perked at the mention of that special someone finally arriving.

"He is," Fialkov picked Aja up and continued his trek forward, keeping Aja occupied by telling her to count all the servants that they say hi to on their journey.

They wound their way through the many corridors, the simple entertaining exercise became more of a competition between father and daughter. The race was who can say hi to the most servants by the time that they arrived at their destination.

It seemed like an eternity for Aja who was excited beyond belief. She was practically bouncing in her father's arms as they continued on their path toward the new-comer. Once they were finally there, there was only a door separating them from the people within.

"We're here!" Aja was placed on the floor once more, allowing her to walk on her own two legs freely as before. Fialkov knelt down once again and met Aja's blue-eyed gaze with his own, "How many did you say hi to?"

Aja stuck out her tongue as she used her fingers to count. She came to the conclusion that she had said hi to fifteen servants after some careful thought and deliberation.

"Ah! It looks like you beat me!" Fialkov tussled Aja's hair much to her distaste.

"Hey!" Aja pushed her dad's hand away playfully.

Then they both burst out into a fit of laughter.

Fialkov took Aja's small hands in his and opened the door, leading her inside.

"We need to be quiet, okay? He might be asleep!" Aja peered up at her dad and smiled. She then put both of her pointer fingers from both of her right hands on her mouth signaling that she had heard him.

They first entered a small room just inside the door. It was ornately covered in the rich and light blues of the royals. On one wall sat a holographic tapestry depicting the family tree of the current royals. Aja knew it well as her father often told her stories of the people shown on it.

But what really peeked Aja's interest was down toward the bottom where her picture was, she saw another circle, not yet filled, but brightened as if a new face was soon to appear inside of it. From what she could remember, her father said that the image of the new royal would appear on it at a ceremony that was to be held three days after his or her birth.

So that means in three days, she would see the depiction of her soon to be new friend on the tapestry.

They opened a second set of doors, much bigger than the last and also much more elaborate than the previous ones. The room within was large, with a small amount light pouring in from a massive set of windows on the other side. The curtains were partially drawn in lending itself to a much darker setup inside.

The opposite wall from where Fialkov and Aja stood, sat a bed, and within that bed sat Queen Coranda. Or more affectionately called by Aja…

"Mom!" Aja swiftly walked over to the side of the bed closest to her mother and peered up at her from the edge of the bed. She saw a bundle of something wrapped snuggly in her mom's arms but couldn't make out what it was.

"Hi, sweetheart!" Coranda reached out a hand and stroked Aja's face, "Did you have fun with dad?"

"I did! We played a game where we tried to say hi to as many servants as we could, and I won!" Aja bounced in place with energetic glee.

"Did you now?" Coranda's gaze tracked up to her husband and she smiled.

"She is a fast one!" Fialkov walked to where he was now behind Aja. He lifted her up to where she now sat right next to Coranda on the bed.

Aja was confused at first though when she finally got a better look at what was in her mother's arms. It was small, and it didn't move. But she could see small tufts of hair sticking out from the top of it. It was electric blue in color and glowed slightly.

"Hey Aja," The king sat on the edge of the bed a pointed toward the bundle in Coranda's arms, "Meet your new brother, Krel."

The blanket was taken away from his body slightly, revealing a small face underneath. He squirmed as the cooler air of the room met his warm body but didn't fuss.

"Krel?" Aja repeated his name and then looked up toward her mother for confirmation.

"Yes," She smiled back at her, "His name is Krel."

Aja scooted closer to her mother's side watching her brother with a great intensity. She reached out and gently took a part of the blanket her mom had taken away from his tiny body. Aja then reached to touch one of his four hands that had appeared from within the confines of the blanket.

"Would you like to hold him?" Aja stared between her mother and the baby and then shook her head yes.

Fialkov positioned Aja next to Coranda in a manner to which both Coranda and himself could help her if she needed to. Then Aja watched as her mother gently laid the bundle in her arms, showing her how to hold him in the process.

More of his small body appeared from behind the blanket, revealing his four arms and small core within. Aja noticed that his core looked a lot like hers, the only difference was that his was upside down.

But then the squirming picked up pace, but once again no fuss. It was then that two small blue eyes opened up looking straight at Aja.

"Daddy, he's awake!" Aja gave a quiet cry in excitement.

Fialkov smiled as he extended a finger out to Krel. The baby stared up at Aja and then let out a yawn. He then continued to stare up at his big sister as he drifted off to sleep.

"What do you think?" Coranda took Krel from Aja's arms, but not once did she break her daughter's gaze.

"I love him," Aja moved over and snuggled into her dad's arms. Looking over her shoulder, she watched Krel yawn once more then drift off to sleep.

"One day you'll have to teach him the game where you two say high to the servants," Fialkov rested his chin on the top her head and held her close.

Aja smiled and sighed in contentment, watching with excitement as her baby brother slept on. Prince Krel Tarron had finally arrived.
