Chapter 4
Party of Three
The sun was setting in Peaceville and Corey's parents were getting ready to leave.
"Aw, are you guys going out again?" Corey whined to his mother who was currently putting on perfume.
"We have to dear." she told her son. "Your father's receiving that big award remember?"
Mr. Riffin was covering his hair in a special gel that made it shiny.
"That's right son. I was voted shiniest hair in the office." he walked to Corey.
"Besides, your favorite babysitter will be here."
"Yeah?" Corey groaned. "Who's that?"
"Your sister Trina."
At the sound of her name, Corey screamed. The blue-haired boy ran toward his room and bolted the door with boards of wood. He panted, hoping that he would be safe for a while. Corey looked around his room and found that no one was there.
"Hello?" he called out. "Anybody here?"
The teenager walked past his closet where two pairs of eyes were watching him. Two smiles appeared in the dark.
Corey looked under his bed feeling a bit scared.
"Hello?"
Suddenly, he heard two voices behind him.
"Heeeeyyy Corey!"
"AAA!" Corey shrieked jumping into the air and grabbing onto the lamp on the ceiling. His fairies floated up to him.
"I'm Kin!"
"I'm Kon!"
"And we're…" the two backed away and the words "Fairy Grojparents" appeared.
"Your Fairy Grojparents!"
The word 'fairy' fell and crushed Kon. Kin saw this but tried to keep composure.
"Do you two have to do that every time you appear?" Corey asked.
Kon came out from under the giant word, dazed, but not injured.
"Let's see what the rule book says!" Kin waved his wand and 'Da Rules' appeared. The fairy with glasses flipped to a page.
"Hm, it says here it's optional…"
He and Kon talked at the same time.
"So yes! As a matter of fact we do!"
The twins laughed as Corey fell from the ceiling and onto his bed.
"Well, better brace myself for another miserable evening." Corey sighed.
Magic sparkles surrounded Corey as he was lifted into the air by Kin.
"What's the matter Mr. Grump?"
"Is your dad putting that stuff in his hair again?" Kon waved his wand and a net appeared between him and Kin. Kin hit Corey with his wand sending him over the net toward Kon.
"No." Corey said going along with it. "My sister's watching over me."
"Well you seem a bit old to still need a baby-sitter!" Kon hit Corey over the net. Kin prepared to hit back.
"Just tell your folks that you are a mature young man…" Kin continued as he hit Corey.
"And should be given the chance to spend a few hours on your own!" Kon finished after hitting Corey again. Corey stopped in mid-air beaming.
"Yeah!" he exclaimed. "That might just work! After all, they trust me!"
The boy looked down and realized that he couldn't float. He fell toward the floor. Kin and Kon looked down at him.
"My point!" Kon said. He and Kin laughed.
Later, Mr. and Mrs. Riffin were just about to leave. Corey was downstairs with them holding Kin and Kon in their goldfish bowl. Mr. Riffin had a ton of items laid out on the floor.
"Emergency rations…emergency phone numbers…first aid kit…second aid kit…third aid kit…emergency flares…and an emergency satellite linked up to the pentagon."
Mr. Riffin checked off the last item on his list.
Mrs. Riffin looked at Corey.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Of course Mom!" Corey smiled. "Don't worry! You guys are only a phone call away!"
Mrs. Riffin started to cry.
"Oh, our little boy is growing up!" she sobbed. Mr. Riffin put his arms around her.
"Oh, there, there honey. We can always have another one!"
Just then, Trina zoomed down the stairs and met up with her parents.
"Hi Mom and Dad! Here I am! Ready for work!" she exclaimed. "Where is my favorite little brother?"
Trina ran toward Corey and picked him up.
"I love you so much!" She repeatedly slammed Corey to her face.
"We're…so…going…to…have…a…great…evening!" she squeezed her brother into a hug and he started to turn blue.
"Trina sweetie, you don't have to stay home tonight after all." Mr. Riffin explained. "Corey wants to stay by himself."
Trina was shocked. Corey slipped from her arms and she turned angry.
"What?! Are you like, kidding?!" Trina pointed to Corey. "The twerp couldn't do anything by himself if he-uh…"
Trina forgot she was supposed to act nice around her parents so she smiled again.
"Of course! You're totally right Daddy!" Trina patted Corey's head.
"Corey's perfectly capable of staying on his own!"
Corey fainted after being hugged by Trina too hard. Trina headed for the door.
"I was going to go to the mall tonight anyway. Maybe I can find some needy people there that would totes require my services! Tata!"
Trina waved to her parents and closed the door. As soon as they couldn't see her anymore, she scowled. Corey was not going to get away with this. Trina knew that he was up to something and she would do whatever it took to get him in trouble.
Corey was waving to his parents who were leaving in their car.
"Bye Corey!" Mrs. Riffin waved back. "We'll be at the Banquet Hall!"
"Okay Mom!" Corey called.
Trina was hiding in the bushes listening the whole time. She pulled out a note pad and started writing.
"Banquet…Hall…"
Corey went inside the house and looked around. Finally, he was on his own. No parents to supervise him, no older sister to boss him around. He looked down at his goldfish fairies and gave them a cheesy smile. The twins smiled back and went back into their fairy form.
"Party time!" the trio shouted.
"First, we'll need some candy!" Corey decided.
Kin and Kon waved their wands and a giant chocolate bar appeared.
"And some soda!" Kin exclaimed waving his wand. A fountain of soda appeared in the middle of the room.
"Don't forget the pizza!" Kon told Corey. He and Kin waved their wands and a giant pizza fell on all three of them. Kin magically teleported to the front door.
"And no party would be complete without its very own…"
He waved his wand and the door opened. Kon stood outside carrying maracas and behind him was a huge line of dancers.
"Conga line!" Kon cried. He began dancing leading the dancers inside the house.
Trina climbed onto a tree outside her house holding a pair of binoculars.
"Like, if that little runt thinks he's going to cheat me out of a night's allowance, he's totally got another coming!"
The girl looked through the binoculars and she saw Corey dancing with the conga line through the window.
"What the heck is going on down there?" she wondered out loud. "He's so not going to get away with this!"
Trina pulled out her cell phone and dialed her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Riffin were listening to the award ceremony. An announcer was handing out the awards.
"And the award for freshest breath goes to…"
Mr. Riffin heard his cell phone ring and he quietly answered it.
"Hello?"
"Daddy? It's Trina!" Trina said into her phone. "You'd better come home right away! I so think there's a problem with Corey! He's-"
Before Trina could tell her dad, a car pulled into the driveway.
"Huh…" Trina said surprised. "Speedy."
She got down from the tree and ran to meet up with her parents at the door.
"Trina! What's the matter?" Mr. Riffin asked.
Trina opened the door to the house.
"I totes think you should see for yourself!"
But when Trina looked inside, she didn't see a conga line. Instead she saw Corey sitting in an armchair by a fireplace reading Shakespeare. He saw his parents and greeted them.
"Good evening mater, pater! How art thou?"
Mr. Riffin moved toward his son.
"Well, I see what the problem is Trina. Corey, this light is far too dim to be reading in. You'll hurt your eyes son."
Corey smiled at his Grojparents who were in their fish bowl and they smiled back. Trina was still getting over the shock.
"But-but there was music and-and dancing and…revelry and junk!"
Mr. Riffin tapped his finger on Trina's forehead.
"Sweetie, looks like you have an overactive imagination."
He looked back toward his wife.
"Honey, we'd better be getting back to the banquet."
As the Riffins walked toward the door, Trina stood with her mouth wide open. She followed her parents to the door. Kin and Kon turned back into fairies.
"Okay, now what Corey?" Kon asked.
"Well…" Corey thought.
Trina tried to catch up with her parents. But by the time she got outside, they were already driving away.
"But-but-but…oh…"
The pink-haired girl was very angry. Corey had tricked her again. She ran toward the window and was dumbfounded when she saw her brother riding a monster truck in mud. Corey laughed.
"Woohoo! Yeah! Whoa! Cool!"
"This is impossible." Trina said to herself as she got covered in mud. She scowled and cleaned herself off. When she looked back in the window, she saw Corey riding a roller coaster!
"Yeah! Whee! Woohoo! Warp speed Mr. Sulu!" he cheered.
"Like, I'll show him!" Trina growled. She pulled out a camera and snapped a picture of Corey on the roller coaster.
"Ha! Proof!" the teenager snickered evilly and dialed her parents again.
"Daddy? It's Trina." she talked into the phone. "I think there's a problem with Corey! You'd better get home right-"
Trina heard car screeches and saw her parents already in the driveway.
"…away?" Trina was speechless. "Huh. Nice car."
She zipped up to the front door. Her parents ran up to her.
"Trina! What's wrong this time?" Mr. Riffin asked his daughter.
"Feast your eyes on this!" Trina pulled out the photo of Corey on the roller coaster. But before the Riffins could get a chance to see the picture, Kin and Kon rubbed their wands together and Trina's proof turned into a photo of Mr. Riffin in his clover-patterned underwear.
"Why, that's you dear!" Mrs. Riffin pointed out. "And those are the briefs I got you for Saint Patrick's day!"
The two adults laughed.
"So they are!" Mr. Riffin chuckled. He cleared his throat and looked toward his daughter with his hands on his hips.
"What's the meaning of this young lady?"
Trina looked at the photo in disbelief. She could have sworn she had proof of Corey's misbehavior.
"But…but…but!"
"Yes, that's my tush." Mr. Riffin said pointing to the picture. "Now explain!"
Mrs. Riffin opened the door to the house.
"I'll just check on Corey." she walked into the house and saw her son surrounded by candles floating in the air meditating.
"Well here's Corey!" Mrs. Riffin exclaimed. "He's just practicing his transcendental meditation!"
Mr. Riffin came in and patted Corey on the head.
"Atta boy! Just like his old man!"
Trina pointed a finger at Corey.
"But he…he-"
"He's fine." Mr. Riffin reassured Trina. "In fact sweetheart, I don't think we'll need you looking after your brother for a while. Corey seems perfectly capable of taking care of himself."
Corey smiled and winked at Kin and Kon who winked back. Trina gasped.
"Like, is that like being…"
"FIRED!" Corey finished for her.
Kin and Kon laughed as Trina sadly walked toward her room. Corey hugged his mom.
"Thanks Mom! I had a great time staying all by myself!"
Mrs. Riffin gasped when she looked at Corey. There was a huge red object in between Corey's teeth.
"Corey! What's that in your teeth?!"
Kin and Kon stopped laughing to notice.
"Huh?"
Corey was confused.
"Uh, gee Mom. I don't know."
Mr. Riffin looked down at his son in disappointment.
"I'll tell you what it is. It's poor dental hygiene is what it is!" he pointed to Corey's teeth.
"If you can't take proper care of your teeth young man, then maybe you aren't mature enough to stay by yourself after all."
Trina was about to walk upstairs when she heard her father. She brightened at his words and smiled wickedly running to him.
"But…but…" Corey stammered.
"What is this fascination with my fanny?" Mr. Riffin remarked.
Trina stepped in front of Corey and faced her dad.
"Daddy? Allow me to instruct Corey in the proper methods of cavity prevention!"
The pink-haired teenager whipped out a giant electric toothbrush. She pulled on its engine and it sounded like a chainsaw. Kin and Kon gasped in horror.
"Thanks sweetie." Mr. Riffin said to Trina. "We are so lucky to have a daughter like you."
Trina lifted Corey by the arm.
"My pleasure." Trina dragged Corey away. "I won't rest until every tooth in this house is totally spotless!"
The evil girl got into Corey's face.
"That could take years." she laughed evilly.
Kin and Kon glanced at each other nervously. They knew that Trina would be checking goldfish teeth too so they pulled out their toothbrushes and started cleaning their teeth rapidly.
