A/N: Thanks for the reviews you guys are awesome! Okay I do not know Ice Cube but I thought it would be funny if he retired from the rap game and moved on Prescott Street.

Chapter 10

Two is company three is a crisis

It was still dark outside and Chris stumbled down the steps as best as he could using the dim light from the street light to see his way, Diamond and Wyatt had no trouble making their way down the steps. Chris knew that Diamond's vision would probably be considerably better than his due to her feline DNA. And Wyatt had plenty of practice sneaking out in the dark when he was grounded.

Wyatt hit a button the keys and the van started and Shorty Wanna Ride came blaring out of the speakers, it was enough to make Diamond take a step back and look at both boys.

Chris shrugged his shoulders wincing at the loudness of the music, "Dad must have had the van yesterday," Chris said. "Turn that shit down!" A voice called from next door. Chris didn't have to look to know who the voice belonged to. Diamond and Wyatt turned to see who it was. "Is that…." Diamond started. "Yeah it's him." Chris said.

"We're sorry Mr. Cube," Wyatt offered pressing the button again stopping the music. "Sorry ain't gonna cut it." the man said cutting across the grass. "You Halliwell boys trample my flowers, you blew up my tree, you basically make my life a living hell with all your demons and warlocks and whatever in the hell else that decides to crash on to this block. But I will not tolerate you ruining my Saturday morning Tai Chi Bo." He said.

Chris turned around to face the former rap superstar. "You've gotta be kidding me." Chris said. "I have no choice I'm gonna have to talk to ya mama." The man said starting up to the house. Chris jumped to block his way. "Come on Ice there is no need to involve my mama." Chris said. Ice Cube rolled his eyes noticing Diamond for the first time.

"What's a nice girl like you doing hanging around with these fools?" He asked. "They sort of saved me from having to spend eternity in my dorm room." Diamond said. "They rescued you from the evils of higher education?" He asked. "The Headmaster at her school was psychotic he tried to kill Wyatt and he killed me but it was a long time ago." Chris said.

"I just want to say ya'll the craziest family I've ever met. And I know Ozzy Osborne's grandkids." He said. Chris rolled his eyes, "Fine then the next time Shug Knights comes over your house to visit I'll just pretend I don't hear the gun shots." Chris said. "Your funny your real funny." Ice Cube said sarcastically.

"Chris let me know if your parents separate again." Ice Cube said. Cutting across the grass and heading back to his house. "I will," Chris said "You live next door to Ice Cube?" Diamond said. "Not by choice." Wyatt said. "He's so mean and he keeps hitting on mom." Wyatt added walking over to the driver's side of the minivan. "Why didn't you do your impersonation of Luke Duke?" Chris asked sliding open the sliding door and climbing in the back with Diamond.

"Because the last time I did it I screwed up the landing and I ended up in the grass." Wyatt said. Chris snickered. "That was funny." Chris said chuckling at the memory. "But not to me the guy who was face down in the grass." Wyatt said as he started the car once more.

Diamond laughed, "You guys have a lot of fun together." She said. "Yeah most of the time." Chris said. "So do you have any brothers or sisters?" Wyatt asked. "No." Diamond said. "Must be nice." Wyatt said, "I'm the oldest of five, I have a brother, obviously a younger sister and two cousins. It's hard growing up in a big family. And being the oldest I feel that I have to set an example for the younger ones." Wyatt rambled. Diamond did her best not to giggle.

"You're quite the role model Wyatt." Chris said dryly. Wyatt shot Chris a death glare through the rearview mirror. Chris returned the favor by sticking out his tongue. Diamond could no longer hold back her giggles. "She thinks we're funny." Chris said. "Yeah I think she does." Wyatt agreed.

"Sorry. It's hard for me to believe you guys are brothers you just seem so different." Diamond said. "It's hard for me to believe it too sometimes." Chris said scowling at the back of Wyatt's head. He was still holding on to some residual anger from the other timeline. Wyatt hadn't done anything wrong except make a few corny jokes.

Chris had managed to get his arm around Diamond's shoulder and she wasn't even pushing him away or anything. Actually she was relaxing into the partial embrace. "Okay. We are going Java Hut 24/7 it's San Francisco's most popular coffee house. It's always open." Wyatt said. "Do you guys hang out here like those people from that show FRIENDS?" Diamond asked.

Chris laughed. "Not unless I need a major coffee fix. It's mostly students from the University. And those people who are trying to hard to be trendy, which now that I think about it that's just about everyone in the city." Chris said. Wyatt laughed too.

"They have really great coffee," Chris said as Wyatt pulled into the parking lot of Java Hut. "So are you a big coffee drinker?" Chris asked as his brother put the van in park and turned off the engine. "Yeah I can't get through the day with out some kind of caffeine boost. I love iced coffee." Diamond said. "Me too." Chris said excitedly as they climbed out of the minivan.

After thirty five minutes and two bottles of water Wyatt was slightly annoyed. He almost wished he wouldn't have tagged along. He couldn't get a word in edgewise Diamond and Chris were talking non-stop and drinking about as many iced coffees as two teenagers could. Wyatt listened attentively to what was said rolled his eyes whenever Chris said something stupid.

"So you grew up on a farm?" Chris asked. "With like horses and cows and chickens and stuff?" Chris asked. "Yeah, but mostly just horses. We used to breed horses." Diamond told him. "So you like grew up riding horses." Wyatt managed to say. "Yeah." Diamond said. Wyatt smirked picturing her riding horse then his thoughts went straight into the gutter.

"I take it y'all don't ride much out here." Diamond said. "Not really, my mom and the aunts used to years ago when they were younger." Chris said. "It's fun. You should try it sometime." Diamond said more to Chris than to Wyatt. "So you split your time between riding horses and dancing, you don't have a boyfriend or anything like that?" Chris asked.

"Real smooth ace." Wyatt said laughing. Chris shot him a death glare. "No. Not really. There was this one boy at Magic School who liked me but I was so not interested in him." Diamond said. "Well since you aren't seeing anyone you wanna kick it with me?" Wyatt asked. "What?" Both Chris and Diamond asked that the same time. "Excuse me I'm gonna to go to the ladies." Diamond said as she stood up and left the table.

"You can't be serious." Chris said. "Did you have to hit on her?" Chris asked his brother. "Well you can't blame a guy for trying." Wyatt said. "You have a girlfriend. Did you really have to come here and cock block?" Chris asked. "I like her." Wyatt said. "You just want to fuck her." Chris said. "And you don't." Wyatt replied coolly.

"That is not the point and you know it. I really like her. And she seems to really like me and you have to go and try and mess that up. She's not even interested in you like that." Chris said. "She's not." Wyatt wasn't used to hearing that. "How would you know?" Wyatt asked not like rejection at all. "I'm an empath you dumbass!" Chris practically shouted. "Plus she told me you weren't her type." Chris said in lower voice.

"Is it the hair?" Wyatt asked feeling insecure all of a sudden. Chris shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever. I'm over it." Wyatt said trying to shake the thoughts off. "Are you ready to go? We can leave when Diamond gets back." Chris said. "Yeah sure," Wyatt said still not believing that Diamond wasn't interested in him. "What is her type?" Wyatt asked.

"I don't know." Chris said honestly. It was really funny to see Wyatt obsessing over it. Wyatt really wasn't used to rejection. Diamond walked back up to the table and Chris flashed her and appreciative smile. Chris shoved a twenty in Wyatt's hand so he could go pay for the coffee.

"I'm sorry about Wyatt he's a little aggressive." Chris said. "It's okay." Diamond said. "I wish he hadn't tagged along. It would have been a lot less tense with just the two of us." Chris said. "It would have." She agreed. "We should do it sometime. I mean we should go out sometime. Just the two of us." Diamond said.

"I would really like that." Chris said unable to stop smiling. A girl wanted to go on a date with him and not Wyatt could this day get any better. "I forgot to tell you. There's this thing tonight, my band Five Finger Discount is playing a show. You should totally come. It's going to be a hell of performance that's for sure. I might be grounded for months but it will be worth it." Chris said.

"I'd love to. Does your mom know your going to play tonight?" Diamond asked. "It's her club. But I doubt she'll approve of our song choices." Chris said glancing over at Wyatt who was flirting with the blonde girl at the register.

"Let's go get Romeo over there and get back to the Manor." Chris said. "Quick before he gets sued for sexual harassment." Diamond said as Wyatt ran his hand up the girl's arm and leaned over to whisper something in her ear. Chris nodded as they walked over.
