A/N: Ooh! What's this? Why it's an update!! I've decided that Ed will now be referred to as Eddie. Just cuz it's fun!
Disclaimer: I'm not that girl. Or guy, rather.
Tony awoke with a start as "If You Were Gay" blasted from his phone.
"Hello? Hello!" he shouted. He looked at his phone. "Oh," he snorted. "It's a text."
Breakfast at Life in 10?

-Eddie
Tony set his phone aside and considered for a second before grabbing his pillow and-
-whomp-
"Tony!"
-whomp-
"What the hell!"
"We're going to the Life for food in half an hour. Go get Kurt and Ali," he said before grabbing some jeans, a lime green shirt, a fake leather jacket Maureen got him, and his wig, before heading to the bathroom to get ready.
xXx
Tony walked into the Life Café just a few minutes before 10 o'clock. He saw Joanne and Eddie sitting in a booth over in a corner.
"Hi Eddie! Hi Aunt Jo!" he chirped. "How are you? My mom and dad are back the flat."
"I'm good Tony. Maureen and I were heading up there after she finishes up freshening up," Joanne replied. She saw the quick glances that her son and her best friends son were exchanging.
Tony smirked. "And how far do you live from here?"
"About five minutes," she answered.
"Alright, Pookie. I'm hot again, so we can go," Maureen said as she emerged from the bathroom.
They said their goodbyes and left, and Tony slid into the seat across from Eddie.
"You know I don't bite, right?" Eddie said after a few minutes.
"Yeah, but I didn't want to push things too far," Tony replied, switching seats to sit by his boyfriend. He was welcomed with a kiss.
"Why is it that whenever we see them they're attached at the mouth?"
They parted to see a perky Maddie, a sleepy Ellie, and an angry looking Kurt.
"Kurt, is everything okay? Where's Ali?" the drag queen asked.
"Um, she was tired so I let her sleep," he lied.
Tony pursed his lips in an attempt to not call him out on the obvious lie. "Well, pull up a seat. We haven't ordered yet."
"So did you tell your parents that you're dating yet?" Kurt said in attempt to get the conversation going.
"Well, thanks to Miss Big Mouth here," Tony gestured towards his sister, "Mine do, but I don't think Eddie's do. Do they?"
"No, I haven't told them, but I did tell them that I was staying here for college." His response was four looks of shock. "Oh, right. I'm moving into my moms' loft, and I'm going to NYU for photography."
Kurt, as always, was the first to break the silence. "Well, if you need a roomie to help with the rent, I'm here!"
"Me, too," Maddie offered. "But, Mom and Dad were talking about moving back here. Apparently, Dad got a good offer here."
Tony squealed, "Really?!"
"Yeah, and they're trying to convince the Aunts MoJo to move back too, so we can get together more than once a year."
"That's fantastic!" Ellie trilled.
"Yeah, it is," Maddie said, half-heartedly.
"Oh, honey, you know Jonathan was planning on moving up here after school was over," Tony consoled.
"Who's Jonathan?" Ed asked, eyebrow raised.
"My boyfriend," she replied dreamily.
The conversation turned to past boyfriends and girlfriends, current too, for those who had ones.
xXx
"So we found out who Tony's parents are," Angel said to the group.
Mimi was currently rested on roger as he stroked her hair, lovingly, as was Maureen with Joanne. Mark was showing Carmen a clip of a movie about Tommy. They all turned their attention to the drag queen and Collins.
"Really?" Maureen asked.
"Yeah, his mother apparently died a few days after he was born, and his father was a donor, but they found him and he's um," she trailed off.
Collins rubbed her back, soothing her. He whispered a "You can do it."
"So, who is he?" Mark asked.
"I'm Tony's dad," Angel said. She saw six jaws drop.
"That's how you looked, when I told you," she whispered to Collins, who giggled a little in response.

"Guys, I gotta go see if Ali is still alive. I'll see you later," Kurt said, throwing a few dollars onto the table, before heading out.
What do I do? Do I tell Mom and Dad? No, they have too much going on with Izzie. I'll just confront her about it. Yeah, there's not much more I can do.
When he got home, he headed straight to her room, knocking three times.
"Ali? Can we talk?"
"By talk, do you mean you yell again and I just sit here and take it?" she spat.
"No, I just want to understand," he replied truthfully.
The door opened and he sat down across the room from his sister. "Start with when."
"Remember the party I went to back at home? Well, someone slipped some acid into my drink. At first I was scared but the high was so amazing. Everything was melting and colorful and I could taste music. It sounds like I was insane but I loved being in that happy place. Anyway, after the party, the hostess gave me some Dexies and tranquilizers, and then some PCP and E and a bunch of really horrible sounding drugs. But I just took them. They all sent me on highs and lows. It was amazing.
"Look, Kurt, I know that this addiction is horrible and will probably kill me, but I really did try to stop and I couldn't. It was too hard. I just couldn't," Ali said miserably.
"I'll help you get clean," Kurt said, quietly. He didn't want to deal with what was happening, but he didn't exactly want their parents to know that their daughter was an addict. "I won't tell Mom or Dad or any of the Aunts and Uncles, but I am telling our friends. They deserve to know and will help."
"Thank you so much, Kurt. Here," she said, giving him a backpack full of drugs and their accessories. He shook his head a few times to not think about his baby sister (he was older by 2 minutes and 37 seconds) shooting up.
"Call Tony," he said.
"No one else?"
"They'll all be with him. You know he's dating Ed now?"
"Really? I never really pictured him as, you know, rainbow sprinkles," Ali said chuckling with her brother.
"Yeah, but he's really happy. You know when we were younger, I thought he was going to kill himself, he was so depressed, but I'm glad he got out of it."
"Me too. Well, I'm calling Tony now."
