For all nonAmerican people out there-sorry. Just go with me on this one. I know, I'm like 3 weeks late, but I had writer's block.
Independence Day-
Omi's POV-
"Rai! Please?! I really, really want to go shopping."
"And I really, really don't. For once, could we please just enjoy what sights and sounds that Texas even has to offer?"
Clay and I sat on Dojo's back which was, by now, flying over the Mississippi River. Our friends were bickering behind us, once again. Clay turned around in his seat and said, "Oh, come now, Rai. I promise that you're going to love this. There's fireworks, baby back ribs, rodeos, and music..." Clay droned on with stars in his eyes and I stood up.
"Clay, I would like to be enlightened on the fireworks, the backs of the baby, and the ropeos."
"Rodeos?" Clay asked.
"That too."
"Fireworks are exploding rockets. They are considered a large part of art of Independence Day here. Baby Back ribs are those things that I cooked about a month ago that you wouldn't eat. Rodeos is the sport of riding bulls."
"But Clay, why would you want to explode rockets, eat animals, and ride bulls?" I was confused. Why would you do all these things? All are dangerous.
"Because-"
"Clay, give it up. He's not going to believe anything you tell him until he sees it for himself." Raimundo interrupted. He walked over to us and sat down beside Clay. "I hate women." He muttered. "She's ruining my life. I can't do what I want anymore. I liked it better when we were dating."
"Then why did you marry her?" Clay asked. "You married her because you two were ready to take the next step in your relationship. No one said that this step was easy."
"What's the next step?" Raimundo asked.
"Families. You two will eventually have twins to take care of."
"What's this step?"
"For you- annoying wives and for her-annoying husbands."
"What if we don't maske it past the Families step?"
"You will. You're not like my parents. They didn't make it past the annoying stage. They split up while my mom was pregnant with Jessie." Clay's parents is a touchy subject for him. Clay got quiet, then.
There was an awkward silence between us until Dojo yelled, "Marble Falls, Texas here we come." We came to a stop and looked around. People were heading to the cornival and ropeo. (A/N: Picture Omi like he was when Master Fung first mentioned The Wudai Weapons)
Rai's POV
"Come on, Kim, let's go." I held my hand out to her so that she could get off of Dojo without getting hurt.
She eased herself off of Dojo. "Oh, what is that? The wind maybe?" She stuck her nose in the air and huffed off to Llano's outlet mall.
"You know you're in trouble if you don't go after her right. She needs someone to carry her bags for her." (A/N: Dojo's this really insightful person in all my stories. That's kindof how I imagine him, anyway.)
"Yeah, what ever." I told Clay and Omi that I was going to go talk to Kim.
I got inside the mall and immediately saw her sitting on a bench. Her head was in her hands and she was crying into her cell phone. I know that it's not nice to spy, but I had to find out what was wrong with her. I quickly ducked behind a clothes rack behind her and listened. "I don't know, Keiko, I mean, I love him and all, but sometimes I just want to hurt him. I don't know why I act like this. And I don't know why Rai acts the way he does...Okay. I'll take a look at it. (Keiko seems like the peacemaker type of person to me.)...Okay. Love you too, Bye." She took out her pda and went to her email.

I blushed when I read what the interpretation of coffee stood for. I continued to hide as I made my way up to the front of the store. I entered the mall again and called out, "Kim?" She put her pda away and waved her hand in the air.
"Over
here, Rai."
"Where you crying?" I asked when I
reached her.
"N-No."
"Kim, what were you crying about?"
"Nothing." I looked at my watch. 9:25. "Shit. Fireworks start at 9:30. Come on." I helped her up and took her bag.
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Being there for me. I don't realize it a lot but I don't say anything. I love you. And if you ever leave me, I will kill you." I gulped at the last part.
"D-Don't mention it." I muttered.
Friday-2 Days Later.
Rai's POV-
Okay-Candles. Check. Fancy French Food. Check. Roses. Check. Chocolate. Check. Fanta. Check. (FANTA!) Okay, four minutes. I looked down at my shoes. SHIT! I have to change! I quickly changed into my wedding tux and changed into dress shoes. Kim couldn't fit into her wedding dress a month ago so I bought her a slightly fancy maternity dress for dinner.
"Knock. Knock. Kim wants to know if you're ready, Rai."
I straightened the jacket on my tux and gave the room a quick look over. Then, I opened the door. "Thanks, Clay. Come on in, Kim."
She walked into the room and gasped at what I had done. "Just like the email." she whispered. "Oh, Rai, did you do all of this?"
"Yeah. I had to go get the french recipes though and Clay helped me."
Flashback-
Clay tasted the food that I cooked then grabbed a spoon. "WRONG AGAIN!" He whacked me on the head with the spoon. (I got that from Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.)
End Flashback-
What I have to do to cook a decent meal for my wife. I shuddered. I had a bruise on my head from where He had continuously whacked me on the head.
"Thank you, honey." She kissed me on the cheek lightly and started to sit down. I pulled the chair out for her and pushed it in a little bit.
We ate dinner and then went to sleep.
Too fluffy, huh. The next one will be the twins' birth, probably. Or Rai's B-day. You can vote on which one or I can do both if you want. OH-the email that Keiko sent Kimiko I can send to you if you want me to. I got that email from Bre. BYE BYE!
