Tommy sat quietly in the backseat as Hoagie drove up next to the Sanban household in his Camaro. "Ready little brother?"

"As ready as I'm gettin'."

Abby got out and let Tommy out while Hoagie got out and walked around the car to join them on the walk up to the house. Mr. Sanban answered the door, "I take it you are Mushi's date for the evening?"

"Yes, sir."

"And your chaperones?"

"Nice seeing you again, Mr. Sanban."

"Abby." The older man smiled and sneered at Hoagie. "Hoagie. Why don't you all come in? Mushi's still getting ready." He said waving them in. They got sat down on the couch and started talking to pass the time. "So tell me about yourself, Tommy."

"Well, I do my best in school. My favorite activity is band."

"Really? What instrument do you play?"

"Clarinet."

"Do you do any sports?"

"Yeah, I run cross country, track and field."

"Partially 'cause I made him so he'd lose some weight." Muhsi said catching Tommy's attention. "Am I sexy enough for you, baby?" she said shifting his attention to her long, slender dress with a thigh high slit up her left leg, and hair in a tight bun. The boys' jaws dropped.

"Yes."

They all got up and headed to the door. "Mushi, you be good. Daddy loves you. Remember, I don't want any grandkids outta you 'til you're thirty." Yelled Mr. Sanban as they started getting in the car.

"Yes, Dad." she answered as the door shut. "Where we goin'?"

"Where ever you guys want to go. I've got 'bout four hundred dollars, so a hundred each."

"How 'bout that new resturaunt by the mall? I hear it's good."

"Sybbil's it is."


They were almost completely silent for most of the ride until Abby got tired of it. "I thought this was a date."

"It is."

"Then why aren't y'all interactin' back there?"

"Any suggestions?"

"How your day went. If any thing exciting happened. Something!"

Tommy gave it a moment of thought. "Are you happy that I'm 'gettin' more serious' with you?"

"Yes. How far do you think this date'll go?" she asked leaning in toward the middle.

"How ever far you want it, Beautiful." Tommy answered starting to lean as well. They were close enough to kiss when...

"I got a box of condoms just in case!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"Really, Hoagie. Their, what, thirteen, not sixteen or seventeen."

"Yeah and what a way to ruin the moment Hoagie!"

"So? What about us?" Hoagie referenced.

"Yeah, no."

"But, Abbs." Hoagie whined.

"Quit your whinin'. You're lucky I agreed to come with you. You already got me pregnant, what more do you want?"

"For you not to be mad at me for it. It ain't like I meant for it to happen."

"But it was your idea and now your fault."

"Oh well, I ain't arguin' with you."

"Just admit that I'm right."

"Bullshit!"

"I always am and always will be right."

They argued and argued until Tommy spoke up, "God, you two argue like an old married couple!"

"I swear it's all her!"

"No, it's your fault! You da one that did this to me!"

"How long will it take for you get over it?"

"As long as it takes you to figure out that you ain't gonna be no pilot any time soon!"

"Would you two come up with an agreement?" Tommy interjected.

Abby sighed. "How 'bout if you promise to give up that dream of being a pilot for the rest of the pregnancy, and I promise to try not to slap you when I'm giving birth."

"Okay,"

"That means lose the goggles." she informed as he grabbed the flight mask before she could.

"But why would you do that to begin with?" Hoagie asked, confused.

Abby raised an eyebrow at him, "My daddy's a doctor, you should hear some of the stories he's come home with."


They got in the resturant and got sat down. Abby caught Mushi by the arm, "We're goin' to the bathroom." she declared. Once there she turned to Mushi, "Might I suggest a few pointers?"

"By all means. I can't tell if he's still into me or not."

"He's crazy about you, he just don't know how to show it. You have to somehow make him feel like he can open up to you. Like can trust you with his thoughts that he wouldn't usually tell people. And don't be afraid to get a little physical sometimes."

Meanwhile Hoagie was giving some advice to Tommy. "You're doin' good so far, you probably should've been a bit quicker on that kiss, though."

"I would've got it if you had kept your mouth shut."

"What's more important is that you keep her interest, and that you keep acting interested in her."

"Why do I need to act?"

"To make sure she knows you're interested. If she don't think you're interested as you should, it's pointless unless she's just in it to get laid, which shouldn't be happenin' yet. Oh, hey girls." he said getting up to get Abby's chair signaling for Tommy to do the same for Mushi. "You're learnin'," Hoagie whispered to Tommy while sitting back down. "While you were gone, I was just telling Tommy how lucky we are to get such beautiful girls."

"Yeah we are clueless as to what we have done to deserve such wonderess beauties."

Mushi was amazed while Abby just looked from Hoagie to Tommy and back. "Okay, who's suckin' up and to who?"

"Nobody's suckin' up. Can't we just try to be romantic for our honeys?"

"Yeah but that was just scary even for you."

"What do you mean, even for me?"

"Cree told me 'bout how you had a crush on her and all that stuff you did."

"Come on, Abby! I was ten!"

"That don't change it." Hoagie sighed in defeat.

"Tommy, your brother's really quite entertaining." Mushi inquired.

"I'm sure Abby thought so to."

"Would you shut up? To think I let you, and you still tease me."

"Did I miss something?"

"It started with a stupid, inappropriate question." Abby explained.

"Which was partially my fault. He said and I quote, 'Abby, Hoagie says you have nice boobs, can I see them?'." Hoagie said. Mushi slapped Tommy.

"A couple days later I had gone over to make sure he tells his folks he's gonna be a daddy, when Tommy asked again." Tommy was slapped again. "I was feeling generous so I let him see, but not touch though he certainly tried."

"Hoagie was right, it certainly gave me something to look forward to." Tommy was slapped again. "Ouch. Are you done?"


They got back into the car and Hoagie started the engine. "Damn, after that I think I need a drink." he said pulling a bottle from under the seat. "Any body else want some?"

"What is it?"

"Tommy, you know I only keep Captain Morgan in my car." he answered taking the cap off and taking a swig.

"Hand it here." Tommy said reaching for the bottle.

"You sure?"

"Hell yeah." he said taking it from his big brother.

"Hoagie, you sure you should give him that?"

"Relax, Abby. I was his age when I had my first drink."

By about halfway home Abby convinced Hoagie to pull over into an empty parking lot, with Hoagie being too drunk to drive and Tommy and Mushi making out in the back. "Y'all better sober up by the time we get her dropped off." Abby said as she got into the driver's seat.

Hoagie already in the passenger seat, turned to her. "Shut up and kiss me." Which started their own make out. When she felt Hoagie start to take her clothes off, she fought from his grasp.

"Hoagie!" she yelled as she slapped him in an attempt to get him out of his drunken trance. "Drunk Dumbass!" she slapped him again.

"Okay. Now, how do you plan on gettin' him off a her before we drop her off?"

After a moment of thought Abby spoke, "I got an idea. You get out and sit between them," she instructed. "That should help him get the idea. Maybe he'll have more self control than you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." he said following her instruction.


Mushi was dropped off and Abby drove the boys home. First she helped Hoagie out, then Tommy. Hoagie carried Tommy while Abby helped Hoagie balance to walk into the house. Mrs. Gilligan had stayed up to see to it that her boys made it home. "Where did you go, a bar?"

"No, Hoagie had a bottle of Captain Morgan under his car seat."

"So that's where that went. Here, I'll take Tommy."

Abby guided Hoagie to his bedroom. Just as they went through the doorway, Hoagie passed out. "Damn it Hoagie, you couldn't just go six feet!" she said as she drug him to his bed and lobbed him up onto it. "This is what you get for drinking at least half a bottle of Captain Morgan!" She groaned as she got his feet on the bed and kissed him on the forehead before leaving for the night.
