Okay setting is present time, but the original RENTers are like at the most 35. Hear me out! I just didn't want them to be old geezers in this fic so hear me out. Okay, oh and there is a cure for AIDS! There is one because I'm so flippin' magical.

J.L owns all, except all OC characters and plot, so that means J.L owns Collins, Benny, Angel, Mimi, Roger, Mark, Maureen, Joanne, and the concept of 1989.)

The alarm sounds, blaring the monotonous, annoying beeping in my ear. I quickly slap the snooze button lazily. "Bryant! Time for your first day of school!" Mom sing-songs from downstairs. "Okay, okay." I grumble, putting the pillow over my head and trying to fall back to sleep. "Bryant Davis Schunard! Get dressed or you'll be late for school!" My Mom calls out again. "Don't make me get Collins on you!" she adds, but I ignore her, way too tired to try to comply. Wait did she say she was gonna get Dad on me? Oh no! My eyes shoot open as I hear my father's voice dripping with mischief. "Too late." I take the pillow off my head, just as my Dad sprays me with water with the Super Soaker he bought Kyle last year. I scream as the ice cold water soaks my undershirt and I fall out the bed. "Why is the water so -so cold?" I say shivering, my wet, dirty blonde hair partially covering my eyes. "Filled it with ice-water. Angel, er I mean your Mom warned ya. Now get dressed for school. It's Kyle's turn." My Dad says as he chuckles and heads down the hall to Kyle's room. Seconds later, yells of protest, and thumping ensues, followed by my Dad's booming laugh.

I get dressed in a blue graphic tee and jeans with a leather jacket and head downstairs. I see Mom already there, cooking breakfast. "You're finally awake huh, Bryant?" Mom says as she turns around to look at me. "Collins got you with the Super Soaker again? I told him to wake you guys up, not to give you a shower in bed. Your hair is all wet. Here let me fix it for you." God, I love it when Mom fixes my hair, she's perfect. My hair is my pride, long and wavy and perfect. Mom fixes it into a ponytail, which I love, and tells me to help set the table. I pour glasses of OJ for me, Mom, Dad, and Kyle, while pouring a glass of milk for Lisa, who comes into the kitchen asleep and dressed laying over Dad's shoulder as he comes in with a suit on. Oh yeah, first day of school, means first day of work for him. Kyle comes in last, wearing a striped shirt and khaki cargo shorts on, his dark still wet dripping on his shirt. Everybody sits down and Mom lays out food in front of us. "For my two vegetarians," she hands me and Dad our veggie omlettes. "For my big eater, who needs to dry his hair," she hands Kyle a plate with eggs, toast, and bacon, to which me and Dad make a playful disgusted face at it and Kyle rolls his eyes at. "And my little sweetheart, your favorite." She hand Lisa a bowl of oatmeal which she takes a spoonful and shoves it into her mouth. Mom sits down with a blueberry muffin. "That's all you're eafing?" I ask, stuffing a huge piece of omlette into my mouth. "Yes, a lady has to keep her figure, and gentlemen don't talk with their mouths full." I swallow. "Okay. This is really good, Mom." I say stuffing my mouth with another bulging piece. "Yeah, tis is really good Ang, as ushual." Dad says doing the same thing I just did. "Collins, you're just as bad as Bryant." "No, he only learns from the best." Dad says smiling only to receive a kick in the shin from Mom from under the table. Dad flinches, and tears forming in his eyes. "What did you say Collins?" Mom said, questioning his judgment. "I- I mean, that uh, that bad to do. Guys, and Lisa, don't talk with your mouth full." Dad looks down at his plate and mumbles "Unless you want to get hit in the shins with stiletto heels." I look down at my food and look away from Mom, so she doesn't see me silently laughing at Mom and Dad's banter.

We finish our food, and its soon time for me and Kyle to go to school, while Dad goes to work. "Ang don't tie it so tight! I can't breathe!" Dad complains dramatically as Mom ties his tie for him. "Oh hush you big baby." "You're my baby," Dad counters as he kisses Mom. "Go, or all of you guys are going to be late. Bryant, you have your phone?" Mom asks. "Yep." "Money?" ""Forty bucks between me and Kyle." "Good. Don't spend it all. And you know to go pick up Lisa from Daycare, then go to Uncle Roger's and Aunt Mimi- chica's place after school right? Me and your Dad have our treatment today, so we won't get back til really late." "Yep, I know the drill." I say as I grab my bookbag and laptop. "Bye Mom!" I yell out as we leave the house.

We walk for a good tem minutes before Kyle blurts out "Are you scared? I mean about today?" I look at him and sigh a little. "Yeah kinda. I'm just gonna try and ignore kids ya know? They hopefully forgotten about us in general, I mean except our friends." "Bry, no one's gonna forget that we're a bunch of adopted multi racial kids who have gay parents." "Geez Sherlock, duh I know, but I've dealt with it, so can you. And the're Mom and Dad, not homosexuals. We have people who love us Kyo, and that's enough, that's all that matters. Look on the bight side, we got a home, food, and people who love us. Our friends and our Aunts and Uncles and cousins we got all of them. I'm no longer that abused orphan child, and you are no longer that homeless Asian boy on the street panhandling for money. Be grateful dude." I never said I wasn't grateful, heck I'd be dead right now if Mom and Dad hadn't found me. But I was just saying, but those people aren't really our Uncles and Aunts, they're Mom and Dad's friends." "Geez, you're a bubble popper aren't you?" I ask Kyle as we approach the school. "Nope, I just state out the obvious." "A little too bluntly, Kyle." I say looking at him. "Try not to beat anybody up, Kyle." I say walking off towards the gate. "I should be warning you Bryant, you're the one with the temper." I laugh as I see Kyle meet up with his friends.
