Disclaimer: I own my shoes!… That's about it.
Last Time:
The boys were almost out of sight before someone came from out of the kitchen, "Hey, is that pussy Tala here yet?" The redhead Russian's eyes got wide at the sound of that voice. He looked down off the balcony of the stair and lo and behold there he stood… Tron. "Hello convict." Followed by a smirk.
"Come on, I just want to lay in my bed." Tala frowned.
Now:
Grinning, Tron walked over to the couch and sat, "I don't care, go lay down! I ain't here for you!" Tala's head snapped up to look at the muscular guy with shock.
"You're not?" he asked confused.
"You ain't important! I brought Miss Moka here 'cause she didn't know how to find 'dis place." The adolescent explained, making Tala so much more relieved that he didn't have to put up with the football player today. Then he continued to walk up the stairs. "But don't get use to me not tryin' to kill ya! Even after the babies are born I'm gone be on yo case like a dedicated lawyer! You bes' believe dat!" he laughed.
The redhead supposed that was the best he could do for today. All he was thinking about was getting to his bed. As he and Bryan were on his way to the room they past a very eager and excited Kadie, who seemed to be coming from Kai's room, that rushed pasted him. "Hey Tala. Bye Tala!" she said all the while, running down the hall. Bryan was slightly hurt that she didn't notice him, but he was use to not getting attention.
"Did she just come out of Kai's room?" Tala asked Bryan confused while looking back at the swiftly retreating figure of Mariah's twin. Facing frontward again, he came body to body with Kai whom was looking as exhausted as he was!
Kai, for a second, had that 'dang it! I got caught!' look all over his face, arms and ears, then it quickly disappeared as he racked his brain for something to say in a situation like this.
"Yeah Kai! You scored, dude!" Tala and Kai looked at Bryan with raised eyebrows.
"Bryan, gangstas done say that kind of stuff." The redhead informed. "And if they do, they certainly don't sound like that when they say it."
"I know, I'm done with the gangsta attitude, it's too hard to maintain. So instead, I brought a whole book surfer talk!" he yelled excited grinning widely while holding up a blue book with waves on it.
"Yeah whatever." Tala rolled his eyes. "Back to the situation at hand." He said calmly, then yelled. "You and Kadie did IT!"
"No we didn't!" Kai denied.
"Dude, you like totally came out of the room looking like you got hit by a Hummer H3." The lavender haired teen exaggerated.
"Um… yeah… something like that, but what happened?" Tala asked.
"We made out." Kai said having to push the words out as he walked as casually as possible down the hall.
"You made out! Oh my gosh! You made out! This is so cool…" Tala surprisingly exploded happily, but a little too happy in Kai's opinion. The two toned haired boy stopped in his tracks also putting an end to Tala's rant.
He turned to face the overly excited redhead and calmly asked, "You don't even know what that is, do you?"
"I have no idea!" he said, still smiling widely. Kai and Bryan sweat-dropped. (Lady J: For the first time in a long time.) Then the smile dropped. "It's it something bad?"
"Tala…" Kai couldn't even think of something to say to his experienced, yet so totally inexperienced best friend. "It's like when you kiss for a long time."
"Oh." The redhead simply said, before following Kai back to the front room.
"Tala, I thought you were going to take a nap." Kai said walking down the stair to a seemingly empty front room.
"How did you-- never mind." The redhead has learned not to ask how Kai knows stuff that he shouldn't, and to just call it nature and move on. "I was, but I'm not felling sleepy all of a sudden."
"Yeah, you should be ready for some major action!" Bryan jumped in.
"Action?" Tala asked.
"In the bedroom, duh! You've been stuck with nothing but males for two whole days!"
"I'm not following." After that comment all Kai and Bryan could do was stare at their hopeless friend... hopelessly.
"Man, dat jailhouse must'a really done somethin' to you!" for some odd reason, the boys had not noticed that the big, muscular, dark Tron was sitting on the sofa and listening to their conversation the whole time. They all turned to look at him.
"No, Tron, sadly he's been like this." Kai said with his arms crossed.
"Come on, hommie, you got a baby on da way! You cain't be ac'in like a immature punk all da time!" Tron said walking up to the rest of the guys, who seemed a lot smaller standing by him. "We gone have to toughen you up, boy."
"Oh my gosh! Tala, you kissed a boy!" Kai randomly burst out shock getting weird looks from Tron and Bryan.
"Where did that come from!?" the redhead asked.
"Just answer the question."
"That wasn't even a question!"
"Yes it was!"
"No it wasn't! Do you see a question mark before "Kai randomly burst out…"?"
"Well answer it anyway! Did you kiss a guy? QUESTION MARK!"
"No." Kai truth glared at Tala. (Jash: Ya'll didn't know he could do that, did you?) "Well, it went like-" Kai's glare went up a notch. "You see what had happened was-" One more notch. "O.k. yes! I kissed a guy!" Tala didn't think he ever felt so humiliated in his entire life! What if Tron went evil again and blackmailed him?! Then what?!
"I knew it." Kai said triumphantly.
"Yeah, but how did you know?" Bryan asked.
"I learned not to ask." Tala said, embarrassment was written all across his face.
"I have ways." The phoenix grinned.
"Tala." Tron decided to speak. Tala just knew he was about to get it. "First rule of being a guy: ALWAYS DENY IT! I've learned this the hard way, lying will get you way further than telling the truth will." Wow, did Tron just give Tala advice?
"But honesty's the best policy." The blue eyed boy said looking like he should have had a halo over his head.
"Tala, don't listen to Tron, he deals with totally different people than we do." Kai said making Tron very angry.
The football player walked up to Kai and looked down at him. "What you think I don't know what I'm talkin' bout because I'm Black." Kai fearlessly sighed with his arms still folded, knowing that what Tron was think wasn't what he was insinuating, but he wasn't going to make a big deal of it.
"I would appreciated if you get away from me now." Kai said with his arms crossed and face emotionless. Tala was just hoping Tron didn't turn his friend into a can of Sprite.
"You think just 'cause you rich, I won't hurt you!?" the guy threatened.
"No, but I know that, because Mariah warned you that if you did hurt anyone in this mansion you'd be sorry, you won't hurt me… and I'm not afraid of you." Tala and Bryan's eyes dared from left to right, Tron to Kai. "Now back up!"
Tron's face expression was angry and hard, then a smirked tugged the corner of his lips. "I like you, kid, you got balls! That's more than I can say about the redhead punk." He backed up. "I see you can handle this on your own. I'm out! Peace." With that, he walked out the door.
"Whoa Kai! I can't believe you stood up to Tron! How did you do it?" Tala asked, knowing that if it were him, his pants would be wet right now.
"Simple. S.B.S." Kai answered still standing in that very spot.
"Super Bull Sh-t?" Bryan guessed.
"No. Strength, Balls and Stupidity."
With Mariah
The girls were currently at a place down town celebrating Mariah twins. The room was huge. It had streamers, decorated table, confetti in the shapes of rattles, bottles and other baby items, and presents! Yep, you guessed it, it was a baby shower! They had surprised Mariah with it. She was led to believe they were going to the mall.
"So Mariah, is Tala o.k. I know it was hard for him being in jail and all." Hilary asked. This was now the time in the party that everyone sat around and talked.
"Nothing big, but I hope he hasn't forgot everything he's learned the past four months." Mariah answered, resting her arms on her round stomach.
"What do you mean?" Ming-Ming asked.
"Well, Tala's kind of… dead to the world, if you know what I mean. He doesn't know anything about babies or relationships!" Mariah was a little embarrassed to admit that she was pregnant with the babies of a 'stuck-in-the-house' 18-year-old. "But he had been in Biovolt all his life, so… can I completely blame him?" she continued.
"Of course you can!" Mariam decided to speak up grabbing the attention of the girls. "You've been living with them for four months and what does he know about pregnancies? What does he know about relationships? What does he know about babies? Nothing!" her voice was slightly raised. "At least you tried to get to know him. I'm surprised he knew what sex was!" she finished getting a laugh from all of the girls… except the guest of honor.
"Mariam, you don't know what he's been through and you don't know how he feels about the whole situation! He is trying! I haven't seen you sit down and try to teach him something!" shocked looked covered the room as Mariah told Mariam off.
"Gees Mariah, chill." Mariam tried to calm her know how quick Mariah's temper was… pregnant or not.
"If you want me to chill then stay off my man!" she glared at her best friend whom she was currently mad at. The room was then filled with a thick, tense silence.
Well, what else was Kadie there for besides supporting her sister? "O.K.! How about we open the presents." Mariah's twin suggested getting a couple of agreeing 'yeah's.
Kadie got up a bought over a big blue present to Mariah. A bright smile lit Mariah's face as she saw it. For some reason, she didn't pay attention to the presents before. "This on is from Hilary." Kadie announced.
Moka, Mariah's mom, stood in front of Mariah so she could take a picture of the present. The pinkette opened the box. "A twin baby rocker!" Mariah exclaimed, pulling out a few light pink and blue parts to the rocker. There were a few happy comments from the group of girls as Moka took the picture.
"Do mine next! It's the one in the turquoise bag!" Ming-Ming shouted excitedly.
Mariah's smile stayed in place as she pulled out a four sets of cute girls clothes. "These are cute!"
"Wait! Their both girls?" Julia asked, eating ice cream.
"Yeah, I thought they were boys?" Mathilda agreed. Suddenly the whole room was puzzled.
"Um… actually we wanted the sexes of the babies to remain a secret." Mariah said, embarrassed that she didn't think about the baby shower presents before hand. She pressed her lips together.
"Well, that's what receipts are for right!?" Julia resolved. If their girls, I'll just give you the receipts and you can return the boy clothes and get girls."
"Yeah, that's a good idea!" Mariah said laughing with the rest of the girls. And so the presents went on. She got bottle kits, rattles, teething rings, twin strollers, bassinets and so on.
"O.k. last present." Kadie announced.
"Who's it from?" Mariah asked.
"I don't know. There's no name on it. Open it." She handed the lap sized present wrapped in black wrapping paper.
"Who wraps a baby shower present in black?" Hilary asked slightly suspicious.
"Well, only on way to find out." Mariah said, opening it. A discussed look covered her face as she pulled out two gray pants sets with blue jumper straps hang on the pants. It had blue buttons and at the middle of the shirt was a purple stripe that swooped down to belly bottom level and met back up at the back. The collars were also purple with golden star all the way around it.
"Who would put a baby in that? It should be a crime!" Ming-Ming said with the same amount of disgust.
"There's a letter." Mariah picked up a piece of paper. "It reads:
Dearest Mariah,
I'm sorry I couldn't make it to my little soldiers' first party, but I had other business to attend to. Don't you just love the uniforms? I can't wait to see my greatest creations heading my army in them. I even had them specially made so they looked exactly liked their daddy's first uniform. Enjoy.
A Special Someone"
After finishing the letter, an angry expression covered Mariah's face.
"This wreaks of Boris." Mariam sneered.
"Mariah, just throw the note and uniforms away." Kadie said holding back the anger.
"No… I want to strangle Boris with the pants and gag him with the note and shirts." The pinkette said bitterly stuffing the things back in the box. "But let's not let this ruin the party. That's what Boris would want. Now who's up for some games."
2 Hours Later
Back At The Mansion
"You guys, how is this suppose to make me manly? They're just clothes." Tala said slouching on the sofa, wearing a white wife beater and baggy red denim pants.
"Don't forget the manly shaving scars!" Bryan entered in.
"That wasn't even my fault! You cut me! I should take you to court!" the redhead yelled reminding him of his yet to come engagement with a judge and jury.
"Tal, it's not to make you manly, it's to make you look manly." Kai said smoothly.
"By cutting me with a razor!?"
"Yes." Kai said simply. "Now, we have to find some way to inflict excruciating pain upon you exemplifying your manly toughness level."
"You have to what?! No! No way?! I'm happy just being me, thank you very much." Tala said, folding his arms.
"Or we can just go to the gym and get ripped!" Bryan suggested getting an agreeing shrug from Kai.
"But we do that anyway! We exercise weekly." Tala sighed and rolled his eyes.
"But Tala, don't you wanna look like him!?" the lavender haired teen asked holding up a picture of a muscular redhead at the beach with girls at his side. "Actually I think you do kinda look like him, only he's more popular looking."
"Let me see that!" Kai snatched the magazine and started to compare Tala to the guy in the picture. Then a shocked looked appeared on his face. "Bryan actually right. Ya'll do kind of look alike. You have the same nose, hair, cheeks… weird…"
"I'm right!?" Bryan said excitedly. "I mean, of course I'm right." He continued in a masculine tone.
That's when the mansion doors burst open and Mariah walked in with French-fries in her hands and Kadie and Mariam behind her followed by what looked like ten butlers carrying baby shower presents to Tala and Mariah's room.
"Ya'll done with the baby bath?" Tala asked making Mariah giggle.
"Baby shower, you mean?" the pinkette corrected. "My mama will be here tonight. She went home to get some stuff and call some people." The pinkette said plopping down on the sofa beside Tala then un-expectantly taking his face in her hands and giving him a kiss.
"Wow." Was all he could say.
"How did you cut yourself?" she asked, looking at the small scrape on his face.
"I guess you can say I was attacked with a razor." He swiftly glanced at Bryan then back to Mariah whom was smiling. Kai and Kadie sat across from them looking awfully cozy by each other.
"Mariah, don't you want to tell Tala about the thing?" Mariam asked sitting a distance away from Kai and Kadie.
"What thing?" Tala asked.
"Nothing." Mariah smiled brightly at her boyfriend, not wanting to worry him with yet another problem in their relationship.
"Mariah, don't you remember the present from--"
"Julia! Yeah, those outfits were really cute!" she glared at Mariam, hoping the blunette caught her drift.
"Mariah, what is she talking about?" the redhead male asked slightly concerned.
"I don't know." Mariah said, looking Tala in the eyes… after lying.
"O.k." he said hesitantly with a serious expression. Mariah knew he didn't believe her.
"Well, Tala, Kai and I have to split. We got something to do." Bryan announced getting up.
"We do?" Tala and Kai asked in unison.
"Yeah, remember… the thing." Bryan winked.
"Oh yeah, the thing." Tala said getting up.
"What thing?" Mariah asked grabbing his arm only for him to roughly snatch it away.
"Nothing." He said strongly, making it known to Mariah that he was angry that she didn't tell him what Mariam was talking about a few seconds ago. All Mariah could do was look at him hurt as he walked out of the room.
"Great, now he's mad at me!"
O.k. That was long. Please review!
