they had two children:

daughter "Hemo" and son "Globin".

papa and mama liked to make withdraws from blood banks...or go to parties where humans hung out.

but now, hemo, she was unlike any other mosquitos....

.....other mosquito's saw her as an equivalent to the Human vegetarian .......
...there were a few others like Hemo, but not all were as strict in their beliefs as Hemo. [who verged on a VEGAN mosquito belief]

Hemo saw something in humans that other Mosquitos could not contemplate...she saw a life purpose and a meaning, with passion and sadness, with laughter and tears............
above all she saw human love........and envied the compassion that some humans showed to others, a trait that was never visible in the Mosquito world she lived in.

Deep down inside Hemo wanted to be human..........but knew that taking a humans blood was a destructive act....... so she bravely she choose too abstain.

and she adored hemo for her "vegan" beliefs...

She just had to go with the flow. In the meantime, Platelets couldn't draw anything out. Platelet buzzed to Plasma, "Alas, there is nothing left, we need to fly to plumper pastures!" Plasma calmed down, because, after all, she couldn't help it when Platelets buzzed into her ear like that.

So, Hemo and Globin bid their parents good-bye and a safe journey...

One of Hemo's job was to make sure Globin was fed well three squares a day, but Globin was like his parents, a human lover...

so whenever Hemo would give Globin a vegan diet, Globin would turn his head and refuse to eat...

Hemo was now in a dilemma...

She buzzed up to the mountain top one bright morning to ponder and contemplate the mysteries of life.

Meanwhile Globin was 'tumbling' around with dear Tumble, who was having a hard time flying straight.

It was also said that GooRoo was on the great Marred Sue Appeal trial where
he won the case that women that carried purses are NOT considered Marsupials...but he got into a bit of trouble by calling them wombats...

either way, these were just rumors for no one has ever really seen GooRoo...

in the meantime, back at the swampy marsh, Tumble tried desparately to get Globin's attention. She would tumble,mumble,bumble, and even offered a gumball to Globin but Globin was paying her no mind...
