That night with the newer agents sleeping Nigel walked into the kitchen to find Chrissy arguing with her Aunt on the phone.
"Aunt Molly knowing that John's alive makes my responsibilities as a princess a little hard, I can't abandon him like mom and dad did" Chrissy said as Nigel sat at the table sliding her a bottle of Cola.
"Chrissy darling I'm glad that John is still alive, and I'm sure that he'd love being a prince he'd have the world at his feet" Aunt Molly said as Chrissy took a swig from her bottle and slammed it on the table.
"I explained myself to you already Aunt Molly, John will not go through what I did and he's going to earn the love that people give him not already have it by fakers".
"Nigel are you sure you should be listening in on this conversation?, I mean it sounds like things are getting pretty heated" Rachel said as she walked up tossing him a Mcdonalds bag and he looked up at her.
"Consider it a gift from one friend to another friend Nigel, now what do you say to a nice moonlit dinner?".
"I don't know about you Rache but me I'm not used to eating a dinner in a snow blizzard, but if you'd like me to leave the conversation then by no means next time ask" Nigel said as Rachel and him walked to the fireplace.
"Aunt Molly I'm putting my foot down, I can be replaced by another girl I'm sure, and John will not be approached by you, do I make myself clear?" Chrissy asked hanging up before she could get an answer.
"I take it that your Aunt didn't take you leaving the throne too well did she?, I mean judging by the conversation she didn't take it well" Nigel said digging into the bag and pulling out French fries.
Wally stumbled lovingly into the living room as Rachel smiled seeing purple lipstick all over his face.
"Your getting back kind of late young man, so give me all the date details how did it go".
"I can see your man can't help but win any problems that may arise, But in his mind there is no sin if you ever criticize, You just keep on repeating all those empty I love you's until you see you deserve better I'm gonna lay right into you" Wally said as Kuki walked up with a White Stripes T shirt.
"You don't know what love is you just do as your told, just as a child of ten might act but your far too old, your not hopeless or helpless and I hate to sound cold but you don't know what love is you just do as your told" Tater sang back spinning around the hall as Kuki smiled down at Wally.
"I take it that the date was an absolute success?, or do you usually sing when you have a bad date?" Nigel asked taking a chomp out of his double quarter pounder with cheese.
"The concert was so great and thanks to Wally we got to meet Jack and his sister Meg backstage and we had pizza with them, I'm so glad I have Wally for a boyfriend" Kuki said kissing him again leaving purple smears across his face.
John shuffled from his room rubbing his eyes as Chrissy knew the look in his eyes and walked him back to bed.
"You dreamed about them didn't you?, mommy and daddy were talking to you weren't they?" Chrissy whispered as John nodded tears staining his cheeks.
"They said that they loved me and I had to let them go, they don't want me to remember them anymore" John said as Chrissy tucked him in and started singing to him.
"There's a little boy in bed tonight, and he dreams of taking flight, flying to a land with marshmallow clouds and butterscotch skies, where the streets are paved in gumdrops and bubblegum, and the people are made of gingerbread" Chrissy sang as John rested his head.
"This little boy can't tell night from day, but he knows that this world seems pretty ok, the little boy with the big imagination creates a world he can run to, when the world tries to tell him what to do".
Rachel hung around the hall hearing the lullaby and loving how the words made her feel as John snored lightly.
"The little boy stops to say hello, to a cute little puppy yellow and mellow, as he pats the puppy's head this is what he sees, the puppies fur is made of jellybeans, he sees a house of gingerbread and this is what the people said".
Rachel slowly stepped into the room as Chrissy bent close and kissed her little brother's forehead.
"Come my son and join our feast, we don't fight in the very least, our doors always open, and our problems need no coping, and we can fight against the lies, in the land of Marshmallow clouds and butterscotch skies" Chrissy finished as Rachel quietly followed her out of the room.
"Where did you learn that beautiful and rather tasty song Chrissy?, it seems to calm John down" Rachel said as Chrissy smiled and grabbed a piece of paper.
"My dad was a workaholic and he was never home, so one night when John was a baby my dad sang this song to him and I guess he really never forgot the feeling he got when he heard it".
"What was your mom like?, did she sing lullabies to John too?".
"My mom loved John and me separately for different reasons, John was the imaginer, the dreamer, and the goofball, I was more down to earth but going back to John always led me to a world I wanted to live in" Chrissy said as Rachel saw Kuki and Wally going into Kuki's room.
"Goodnight you two don't do anything Numbah 1 and I wouldn't do, or should I say don't do anything at all" Rachel said as the door slammed in her face.
"This girl my brother's supposedly dating does she have a face to her personality?, or should I just say hey you hoping she looks back?".
"She's the girl in the black hair, she's a cheerleader, a goofball in herself, and extremely sweet if you ask me" Rachel said as Chrissy and her saw Nigel passed out in front of the fire.
"As for him I'm going to cover him up, then I'm off to bed myself we've had a long day haven't we?".
Chrissy turned her cell phone off, yawned and nodded as Rachel showed her to an empty room with a big bed.
"Well my cassa se you cassa Chrissy, tomorrow you can unpack and spend a lot of time with your little brother" Rachel said as You don't Know What Love Is You Just Do As Your Told blared from Kuki's room.
"I'm in for a long night, but at least I can sleep on the couch with Nigel" Rachel's mind told her as she grabbed a blanket from her room and rested her head on Nigel's shoulders until she was asleep.
The next morning Nigel slowly turned over to see Rachel snoring lightly on his legs as he smiled.
"Wake up Mrs. Supreme leader that French toast isn't going to cook itself you know" Nigel said as Rachel moaned and waved her hand at him.
"Wakey, wakey eggs and bakey Rache it's 7:00 and the agents will be up soon and their counting on French toast with mounds of butter and syrup when they wake up".
Rachel slowly stood up as Nigel was trying to get the feeling back in his legs and she pushed open the kitchen door.
"Nigel you can cook I'll just rest my head for five minutes" Rachel said sleepily as Nigel got pans out and she realized what she said and pushed him into a chair.
"I'll cook that way the kitchen won't be charcoal black, the food will be edible, and the treehouse won't need a fire department" Rachel said shuffling to the stove and putting bread in some batter.
"Honestly me asking you to cook I don't know what I could've been thinking, the only thing you can cook is a hamburger and that's if you get to Mcdonalds on time".
"I'll have you know that I've cooked a ton of things, like hot dogs and hamburgers for the KND cookout last year, and I even made a pie" Nigel said as Rachel smiled at him.
"Yea the burger's and hot dogs were black from the outside in and the pie had no filling, it was just pie crust Chef Boyardee".
Tater shuffled into the kitchen lightly waving a hello to Nigel and Rachel then she plopped into a chair and hid behind a book.
"I take it you have a book report due after the weekend and you haven't even read the book?" Nigel asked as Tater nodded yawning and slowly flipping the page.
"I look at it this way I may fail English this year, but at least I'm not failing Home ec which is the easiest class to pass" Tater said getting a notebook out and making notes on what she read so far.
"Home ec is not the easiest class in the world, it's not just cooking it's sewing, ironing, and learning other useless whatnot for us to use in the real world".
"It's only whatnot to the people who can't do it, and if you think it's whatnot why didn't you take shop?" Rachel asked as Nigel looked at Tater's book cover to see it was upside down.
"You might be able to read the book better if it was right side up Tater puff, and the answer to your question Mrs. Supreme Leader is my mom made me take Home ec because she thought I could use it someday" Nigel said glumly pulling out his backpack and getting thread and a needle.
"I have to make a sweater before Monday and I really don't see that happening anytime soon, seeing that every time I try to make one I stick myself with this stupid needle".
Tater giggled when she saw the needle puncture Nigel's finger and he shot her an angry glance.
"Don't you have a report to finish Tater puff?, or are you going to help me with this stupid sewing?".
"I could help you but what would Mrs. Collins think when you tell her that you had to have somebody else sew a sweater for you?" Tater asked flipping the page as John walked through seeing Nigel struggle.
"Your doing it all wrong Numbah 1, you have to find the hole in the sweater first, then you have to thread out to in going with the thread and not against it" John said as he also noticed Tater reading The first Harry Potter book.
"Great book I read it about half a hundred times and I could tell you everything about that book inside out and right side in".
Tater threw the book back in her backpack and smiled down at John as he sat next to her.
"All right see there's this kid Harry and his parents were killed by a dark wizard, Harry should have died that night too but the curse didn't work making a lightning bolt scar across his forehead" John said as Tater turned to a new page and started writing rapidly.
"So Harry is delivered to his aunt and uncle's house by Hagrid keeper of the keys at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry who rode a flying motorcycle".
Tater was half finished with her report for chapter one already and was glad to have John around.
"So Professor Mcgonical she's a witch who can turn into a cat expressed fears of Hagrid delivering Harry, but Dumbledore the headmaster at Hogwarts said that he put all his trust into Hagrid and that's the end of chapter one" John said as Nigel was coming along great with the sewing.
"See after you find the hole sewing isn't so bad, you can even do it instead of bugging your mom to do it Numbah 1".
"Or me and trust me I'm like his mother half the time, covering him up last night so the poor thing didn't catch a cold" Rachel said flipping the French toast over and John sat next to Nigel.
"Yea and then you decided to use me for a human pillow numbing my legs to the max, my mom on the other hand never did that to me yet" Nigel said as he took a look at the sweater to see it was mended and he folded it up placing it back in his backpack.
"Well if your room was across for Kuki Sanaban's you'd crash on the couch too, I mean she had Wally spending the night with her last night and I can only imagine what they did listening to the White Stripes".
"Well look at it this way at least their not fighting anymore Rache, you were about ready to pull your hair out" Nigel said as Kuki and Wally walked in kissing and John made a disgusted face.
"Please you guys not before breakfast I think I'm going to gag" John said as Wally pulled from Kuki and smiled blue lipstick all over his face and lips.
"Blueberry passion kid, I'll never look at blueberries the same way again" Wally said laughing as Kuki sat next to Nigel with a stern look on her face.
"Don't you have a home ec project to finish?, or to start even Numbah 1?" Kuki asked as Nigel smiled producing a knitted sweater and Kuki couldn't believe her eyes.
"Did a gang of elves sew that for you Numbah 1?, because that can't be your sewing your fingers aren't bleeding or anything".
"That's because I had a little boy teach me how to sew, and he helped Tater with her book report all before breakfast" Nigel said as Kuki stared at John.
"And where may I ask did you learn to sew little guy?, did a gang of elves teach you?" Kuki asked as Chrissy walked into the kitchen yawning and heading towards a coffee pot.
"Nope my big sister taught me how to do it at a young age, she told me that if I ripped my own clothes I should learn to mend them and Numbah 1 was lucky not to get pricked I did all the time when I learned" John said as Chrissy rubbed his hair and went to help Rachel cook.
"Well at least somebody here wants to help cook, I mean with all the agents the non agent decides to be the one to help" Rachel said as Nigel walked up and Rachel pushed him back.
"Remember the whole I want the food edible talk Nigel, well I think the kids do too and besides I was kidding, Tater helps me whether she wants to or not most of the time".
"And that's because I'm forced to Numbah 362, it's not like I want to or anything like that" Tater said walking to the refrigerator and grabbing a carton of orange juice drinking it from the carton.
"Use a cup Tater puff, sometimes I swear you're a boy reincarnated" Kuki said making a face and handing her a glass.
"You too huh Numbah 3?, my mom must tell me that five times a day and most times I feel like a boy you know when I play football and things like that".
"That's because you're a tomboy Tater, you should get in touch with your feminine feelings if you ask me".
"Well nobody asked you Kuki, and if I want a comment from the peanut gallery I'll ask for it" Tater said flipping her long brown hair at Kuki.
Well that's it for now and I love the replies Tater but as you do I wish I could get more reviewers anyways it's great to know that my ff is liked by at least one person for now Keep replying
