Chapter 21

Let the good times Roll

It was the morning after the races, Will and Regina were just starting the day as they normally do. Will was downstairs in the kitchen, cooking something for breakfast, while Regina had just woken up and was straightening her room up, until she smelled the bacon and eggs Will was cooking downstairs.

She stumbled with a sleepy head down the stairs and entered the kitchen, still in the oversized shirt she slept in.

Regina: "Good morning Will. God that smells good."

Will: "Morning sleepy head. It does smell good huh?"

Regina Yawned as she spoke.

Regina: "So when are going over to Kei's house?"

Will: "I dunno, why don't you call Bell and Ask? Ask her what we can bring to the cookout."

Regina: "Ok. Lemme wake up a bit (yawns) first."

Will: "You sleep too much sometimes..heh."

Regina: "I know. I can't help it."

Will: "I know, that's why I usually don't say anything about it, that and you'd probably give me shit about it."

Regina: "No I don't, say. When are you and Skuld going to go on a real date?"

Will: "I thought I'd see if she wanted to go out tonight. If she will that is."

Regina: "Oh come on. Like she'd say no."

Will: "Hey you never know."
Regina: "Bullshit. She acts like you're the best thing since sliced bread. That sounds good, throw me some of that toast."

Will: "She is pretty terrific. But she's a bit younger than me too. That kind of worries me."

Regina: "Why? She doesn't seem to care. She told me so."

Will: "I know a lot of young women that think an older guy is just a good novelty to accomplish is all."

Regina: "She's not like that at all. That's why you two should get to know each other better, try talking to her more about personal stuff."

Will: "Like what? Cars? Of course I could bore her to death with my business talk. Heheh."

Regina: "All I know is be good to her. She's a special girl. (Regina couldn't help but giggle) maybe more like a rare catch."

Will: "Why you say that? Something you not telling me?"

Regina: "You'll find out yourself soon, if you treat her right."

Will: "You know something. You know I hate it when you hide stuff from me."

Regina: "Sorry. Skuld confides in me. It's a girl thing, you wouldn't understand."

Will: "Sure I understand. I understand that women are strange."

Regina: "Do I sense sarcasm in that remark."

Will: "Maybe.."

Regina: "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll tell you, if you don't find out first, ha!"

Will: "Nevermind then. Are you going to call Bell? Or do I have to do it?"

Regina: "Ok. Don't get your undies in a wad. Jeez."

Regina picked up phone and dialed Bell and Kei's new house. The phone rang for almost half a minute before someone picked it up.

Kei: "Hello. Morrisato resisdence."

Regina: "Oh hi Keiichi, is Bell available?"

Kei: "Yeah she just got out of the shower. Hang on a second."

Kei took Belldandy the phone, she was still wrapped in a towel, with a towel also around her head.

Bell: "Hello?"

Regina: "HI Bell! How are you?"

Bell: "OH Regina hi! I'm fine. We're just getting started. Yesterday was really exhausting."

Regina: "Will and I were wondering, what should we bring for the cookout, and what time should we be over today?"

Belldandy was standing in front of the mirror, towel drying her hair as she talked to Regina on the phone. She was using both hands and as she was drying her towel slipped a little, then all the way off of her. She thought nothing of it at first. Keiichi was on the bed lying back relaxing, and watching Bell as her towel fell off, he just smiled and admired her beauty. He could sense that she had forgotten he was on the bed, or did she?

Bell: "Well Regina, I think 11 or 12 would be just fine. If you want just bring whatever you like okay? That way we'll have much to chose from, okay?"

Regina: "Ok Bell. We'll see you in a few hours. Bye-bye."
Bell: "Bye Regina."

Bell set the cordless phone on the dresser, and she softly walked toward the bathroom again, but stopped at the entry door and flipped the lock on it. She turned around to face Kei still on the bed, still very much naked, and she modestly covered her self what she could with her hands, as she walked toward Kei smiling. Kei's eyes were large, and her was staring intently at her. He'd not had a very close look like this of Bell while she was unclothed, only what little light there had been before in their lovemaking encounters.

Bell: "Kei-iichi…dear."

Kei: "Yes sweetheart?"

Bell: "Do I look like I'm getting fat? Urd says all the eating were doing I've gotten a little fat in my waist and my bottom." Belldandy turned in front of him seductively as his face was only a few inches from her bare bottom.

Kei: "N-nnno Dear. You look absolutely beautiful."

Bell smiled and jumped next to him in the bed, she kissed him pressed up against him.

Bell: "As long as you're happy with my body then I am too!"

Kei: "Of course Bell. You're not a bit fat at all,b-but you sure feel so nice.."

Bell: "Want to have a little fun tonight?" Bell giggled.

Kei: "S-Sure sweetheart. You bet."

They kissed and cuddled a while before Bell finally got dressed. Keiichi was amazed at how open she had gotten with him about sex since that fateful night. But he truly felt they were a part of each other now. He'd no longer be afraid to tell her how and what he felt from now on.

Skuld: "Stop it Urd. That's not funny!"

Urd was laughing hysterically in the background.

Skuld: "How was I supposed to know what it was! I feel like an idiot!"

Urd was turning blue from laughing so hard, all the while Skuld was standing there with the strange object in her hand. Bell noticed Urd laughing and Skuld complaining, so she walked in to see what was so funny.

Bell: "Hi you two. What, what's so funny?" Bell noticed Skuld was hiding something behind her back so she walked up and grasped her hand and pulled it out front.

Urd Started to speak but then she simply laughed even harder at the sight of Bell trying to fight the object out of Skuld's hands.

Urd: "NO Stop..T-This is TOOO Much! HAHAHAHA!"

Skuld: "Stop Belldandy, it's not something you want to know about..please."

Bell: "SKULD! Skuld. What is-----------IT!" With that Bell had pried the object from her hand and stood there examining it. "Hmmm." She thought. "Just what is this? It's slim, what's this here?" She twisted the end as it began to buzz in her hand.

Bell: "Oh MY! Wh-what is this thing?"

Urd: "BWHAAHAAHAAHAAAHA! OH st-stop please both of you are killing me!"

Bell: "Urd! What is so funny about this…this. Thing?"

Urd regained her compose and whispered into Bell's ear what it was.

Bell: "A WHAT TO DO WHAT WHERE?" Belldandy dropped the object on the floor as it buzzed away on the floor.

Bell: "SKULD? What are you doing with this..this Vibrator!"

Skuld: "I swear Belldandy it's not mine! I found it in the bag I borrowed from Regina, It's the truth! I didn't know what it was for!"

Urd was literally rolling on the floor unable to catch her breath from laughing so hard. To see them both act so calmly about it at first, Urd couldn't help herself.

Skuld: "Why would someone want to use a thing like THAT!"

Urd: "For one Skuld, I would guess it felt good. Bwahhahaha!"

Skuld: "eww. No way. Do you think Regina? NO. There must be another explanation for it."

Bell was still too embarrassed to even comment on the object. But she bent over and picked it up turned it off.

Bell: "If it doesn't belong to you then put it back."

She placed the object carefully into Skuld's hand again.

Skuld: "Well ok then."

Bell: "Of course if you are curious about it. Then I won't tell you what you should do with it. That's simply up to you, Urd might be right, by the way." Bell smiled a mischievous smile at Skuld as she walked out of the room.

Skuld: "BELL-DANDY! Not you TOO!"

Urd: "Oh I'm starting to love this, this is absolutely RICH! BWHAHAAHAA!"

Skuld: "man, you're both becoming disgusting."

Later that afternoon, Will and Regina and Shane had arrived at Kei's house. They all went around to the back and Kei and Will started the grill to let the charcoal get warm. Bell Urd and the girls went into the kitchen to help with the side dishes.

Will: "So Kei how'd you like the racing?"

Kei: "It was the most exciting thing I've done in my life."

Will: "Yeah it's a rush. I'm an adrenaline junkie myself."

Kei: "Hahaha!"

Shane: "I hear you have a bike."

Kei: "Yeah, want to see it? I got it in the garage."

Shane: "Hell yeah. I'm a bike nut myself."

Kei: "Come on then."

Will: "I'll stay out here with the grill."

Shane: "We'll be back in a minute."

Will sat down in a lawn chair in the back and lied back to relax, with his arms extended over the back of his head. The air and the temperature was great for a day outside. Not has humid as the day prior. The sun was shining with few clouds and he closed his eyes, and took in deep breaths to relax himself. Suddenly, he felt someone land in his lap and start laughing at him.

Skuld: "SO. You're going to sleep the whole time you're here." Skuld had a little pout on her face after he opened his eyes to look at her.

Will: "No..no. I'm sorry I was just relaxing. You doing ok today?"

Skuld: "Yes, now that you acknowledged I'm here."

Will: "Sorry Skuld. I got caught up talking to Kei and Shane when I got here."

Skuld: "Humph. I see."

Will: "Really. I'm sorry." He took her hand in hers and kissed her hand gently.

Skuld looked at him with her pout, than she smiled really big and bent over and gave him a kiss.

Skuld: "I was teasing. You aren't angry with me are you?"

Will: "Of course not. But that was rude of me to do that."

Skuld: "No it wasn't. Don't worry. Hehe. So um. Can I sit here with you for a while?"

Will: "Sure. We've got all day if you want."

Skuld kissed him again. Hearing that made her very happy.

Will: "Um. I was thinking too."
Skuld: "About what?"
Will: "You want to go out with me tonight? I was going to the street races a while tonight. But I thought I'd ask you to go with me, and we could catch a movie later or go back to the house and talk or whatever you'd like to do tonight."

Skuld: "YES. I'd love to. I've never been on a date quite like that before."

Will: "Well. Don't eat too much today. I thought we'd get dinner about 7 tonight, at a really nice place I know. It's kind of classy, and the food is good, but I haven't been there in a while really."

Skuld: "Oh. Yes that sounds fantastic. You don't have to worry, I like to eat."

Will: "I do too. But for me I have to watch it. (squeezing the little love handles on his sides)"

Skuld: "You're not fat. Don't say that. Everybody has a little body fat like that."

Will: "I used to be more fit than that, but with work and everything I don't have time and Regina likes fattening stuff. So I eat to much of it all the time."

Skuld: "I like you just the way you are though. I mean it."

Will: 'I know."

Skuld: "You're really fine like you are."

Will: "If you say so, hahaha!"

Will and Skuld sat and talked while everyone in the kitchen stopped to watch them.

Bell: "They look so wonderful together don't they?"

Urd: "Yeah it looks like our little sister has grown up."

Regina: "He'll take care of her. If he hurts her I'll kick his ass."

Bell: "Oh my Regina, that's pretty harsh."

Urd: "Bet she could do it though."

Regina: "Will is a good man. Not just because he's my brother, everyone says that of him."
Bell: "I think it's wonderful for both of them. Skuld's never kissed anyone like that before, I think it's wearing on her."

Regina: "Will is pretty affectionate. But he's really not a perv or anything like I tell him. I just like to torture him. Heheh."

Bell: "By the way Regina. Skuld found your "object" in the bag you lent her. Just in case you were looking for it."

Regina: "My "object" ?"

Urd: "Your um. Vibrator?"

Regina: "Oh my vibra… Oh my GOD I left it in the bag!"

Urd: "It was hilarious seeing Bell and Skuld with that thing. They didn't have a clue what it was for."

Regina: "I'm Sorry Bell. I'm so embarrassed."

Bell: "It's ok Regina. Really it is."

Urd started the whole scenario before Bell could object.

Urd: "You see? It all started when Skuld had come in with that "thing"…."

Brad and Rachel arrived along with some others that were invited from RPT and the friends of Will and Regina, as well as the crew from LA Drift. Everyone had started to mingle, the driveway and the front street was beginning to look like a car show. Someone had even brought a portable stereo and a karaoke machine. The food was being churned out constantly, hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks and barbeque chicken, along with all the different side dishes Bell and the girls had made. The whole thing had turned in to something of a mini carnival. Many of the neighbors even dropped in and had a great time. Everyone cheered as Bell sang when Megumi and Sora insisted that she be the first. Kei was exasperated at how well the turnout was. This was the biggest party they'd ever had period, even the parties at the motor club never touched the size of this one. The members of the LA Drift were very nice and got along well with everyone. Kei even talked to them about ideas for equipment they'd like to see for their cars from manufacturers. Megumi and Taka were inseparable most of the day, as well as Will and Skuld. At least when the two of them hadn't disappeared to talk in private that is. Sora even had a great time, and had made a few new friends, including a friend of Taka that had taken to her quite well. The party was a blast, at least until the Cruzin Streetz decided to show up. Kei and Bell simply thought they were friends of someone else at the party, but Regina know as soon as she saw the first car pull into the yard.

Regina: "Hey! Don't park your car in the yard! What the hell do you guys want?"

Greg: "Aw come on now. We just wanted to check out the cool party we heard about."
Regina: "You mean to try and crash it. Nobody invited you guys, so move on somewhere that you're welcome."

Emilio: "Hey, that's no way to treat your "friends".
Regina: "Friends my ass. You never start anything but trouble." Regina was getting very angry as the others members started showing up. She was afraid that things would escalate if she didn't get them to move on. She knew the LA Drift weren't to happy about some of the members of the Cruzin Streetz.

Taka: "Hey, who invited these ass clowns."

Emilio: "Watch your mouth little boy. I don't want to have to teach you a lesson."

Taka: "Say what? Tell me that to my face again shithead, come on!"

Megumi grabbed Taka by the arm, pulling on him to move away from Emilio.

Greg: "We know when we aren't welcome. Where the hell is your brother? He with that fine looking little whore."

Regina: "Watch you mouth Greg. You don't know anything about them., so I suggest you drop it. My brother's got no business with you."

Belldandy became irate at hearing someone talk of her little sister in that manner when they didn't even know them.

Bell: "My sister is not some floozie. Please leave our home if you cannot act in a civil manner."

Emilio: "What the hell is this? She talks all "proper" and everything, say are you from England or something? Man you're mighty fine yourself sweetheart, why don't you hang with a better man? Not that pipsqueak you call man."

Megumi: "HEY! DON'T TALK ABOUT MY BROTHER LIKE THAT YOU..YOU JERK!"

Regina: "Greg, I'm only going to ask you this again. Leave, before we call the cops."

Emilio: "Oh, we better go. I'm sooo Skeered. Little lady might call the cops. All we wanted is to talk to your brother, stupid bitch."

Regina was ballistic at this point as she exploded toward Emilio, ready to claw his eyes out, when he jumped back and slapped Regina across the face with such force that she was driven to the ground. She stood back up as Taka stepped in and one of the other members had pulled a knife behind Emilio.

Megumi: "NO TAKA! He has a knife!"

Taka: "I ain't going to let him get away with hitting a girl!"

Emilio: "Come on home boy. Think you can take me?"

Emilio suddenly backed away from Taka. Taka suddenly got confident.

Taka: "Yeah, you know you don't want none of me."

Taka didn't realize he was backing away because Shane had walked up behind him.

Shane: "Hey, what do you guys want? What's the matter Regina?"

Regina: "They want to talk to Will."
Regina knew not to say that he struck her. Shane would lose it.

Shane: "What happened to your face? Aww Hell NO! Which one of hit her?"

Taka: "It was Emilio, dude."

Shane: "You know I'm going to have to fucking kick your dick in the dirt don't you?"

Emilio: "Bring it on you lanky bastard."

Shane had just tensed his arm up when a strong hand took hold of his arm.

Will: "What do you want here Greg?"

Greg: "Hey man we just wanted to welcome the new folks to the hood too. And we got a message for you."

Will: "Nobody invited you guys so I suggest you leave. And if that prick behind you doesn't lose the knife right now, I'll take it from him."

Member: "You can't do that.."

Greg: "Shut up, man! Put that thing up." Greg knew not to start anything with Will.

Will: "Apologize to my sister. Or I kick you ass right now. If you touch her again.. EVER. I'll Kill you. Understand? It's not a threat, it's a bona fide promise."

Emilio: "I didn't mean to hit her, she started the shit!"

Will: "What do you want."

Greg: "We're calling you out man. A major street race, it's going to be a team race. Club against Club."

Will: "We don't belong to a club, you moron."

Greg: "If you don't do it, the East Coast Maulers will come around to "visit" everybody."
Will: "How the fuck did you get involved with those bastards. You know they run drugs and shit. Why the hell did you get involved with them?"

Emilio: "It seems the big bossman wants a piece of you. That was a long five years he served and he's real pissed."
Greg: "You can say he's out for blood bro. And I sure as hell ain't gonna cross him. I if I was you I wouldn't either."

Will: "You guys are fucking stupid, you know that. Fine. Gimme the time and place, I'll settle this once and for all. When I'm done, I'm done. Five years won't be shit compared to what happens if I win."

Greg: "You best watch your back man. Take some advice."

Will: "I wouldn't be doing shit, if it weren't for you damn baboons."

Emilio: "That's all we got to say man. Hey little boy. I suggest you hide from my ass once I leave here, your ass is mine."

Will: "Leave Taka out of this. You fuck with any of us. I personally come after you, all three of you. Hear me?"

Greg: "Shut up Emilio. Let's go. We came to do what we meant to do."

Emilio: "I ain't scared of your ass like everybody Will. Fuck you Greg! I ain't scared of this guy. He's some fucking pussy that thinks he's all high and mighty."

Greg: "You better let it lie man."

Emilio: "Hell no man I'm sick of punks like this screwing with us man!"

Emilio lunged at Will, arm extended toward him as everyone moved back from them both. Will simply evaded his attack, as he stood calmly in front of him. Emilio charged at Will again, missing his chin with his fist, Will grabbed his arm as it went whizzing past, by the wrist. Emilio, tried to jerk back his arm , but Will had such a hold on his arm the pain was getting unbearable. Everyone was wide eyed and in shock as Will simply stood holding Emilio's arm by the wrist and inflicting so much pain. Will pressed harder with is fingers and forced Emilio to his knees, screaming in pain. Skuld and Bell were covering their faces with their hands in shock. Taka was amazed at how Will was causing so much pain to Emilio with just ONE hand.

Emilio was begging for Will to let go of his arm, Will just changed his grip and Emilio screamed louder.

Greg: "I fucking told you, let it go man! Damn."

Will: "look at me."

Emilio: "Ow. OOOOOWWW! Man please let go of my fucking arm MAN!"

Will: "LOOK AT ME!"

Emilio looked at Will out of the corner of his eyes.

Will: "LOOK – AT –ME!"

Emilio: "O-OK MAN! OOWW! Fuck man let go!"

Will: "Chin up."

Emilio: "What!"

Will: "I SAID CHIN UP!"

Emilio looked at Will, and jutted out his chin, as Will just smiled at him.

Suddenly, Will placed one quick jab to his chin as he let go of Emilio's arm, he fell almost unconscious to the ground.

Will: "THAT was for Regina. You fucking prick."

Greg: "I TOLD YOU man!"

Greg grabbed Emilio and pulled him to their car as the other club members ran to their cars and quickly left the scene.

Will: "I'm sorry everyone, please just relax and resume what you were doing. Everything's ok. They won't be back."

Skuld ran over to Will and hugged him tightly.

Skuld: "I was scared they might all jump you."

Will: "No. Greg knows better."

Will: "I'm sorry Kei. I kinda ruined the party huh?"

Kei: "No way. Those guys disturbed it."

Everyone sat around talking about Will after the incident with Emilio. They'd never seen anything like that, except in the movies. Taka was still amazed at how he did it.

Taka: "Hey, Will? How'd you do that?"

Will: "Oh hey Taka. I know some submission holds is all."

Regina: "Yeah right."

Will: "Shut up Regina."

Regina: "Ok. Ok I won't say anything."

Skuld: "Your heart is still racing Will, I can feel your pulse in your hand. Please come sit down and relax."

Will: "Huh? Oh. Ok. Let's go sit at the table. I'm hungry anyway."
Skuld smiled and led him by his hand to the table and sat close to him with her arm around his back close to him.

Taka: "Hey, you're his sister? How'd he do all that?"

Regina: "You didn't hear this from me ok. He doesn't talk about it."

Taka: "Ok."

Regina: "He served six years in the Navy. He started out as a ordinance technician, but volunteered for the SEAL unit."

Taka: "No shit? That's just too cool."

Regina: "He only stayed in till he was 24. The guys they were talking about, were a club he belonged to in Virgina Beach. He got busted running drugs for them when he was just 17. He got off as a minor, but they said he had to join a branch of the military. So he joined the Navy."

Taka: "Wow I never thought he'd be involved in anything like that."

Regina: "He really didn't know about the drugs. But he still broke the law. My father made him face the consequences. He knew he couldn't blame anyone but himself."

Taka: "Wow. I still think he's cool. And he's nothing but nice to everybody."

Regina: "He's very patient with people. He's a great guy. He'd never hurt anybody just out of spite. He's really a pretty emotional guy."

Bell: "I had no idea about all that."

Regina: "Ahhh. Bell. Sorry. Please don't circulate that to everybody though. He hates for everyone to be afraid of him just for that reason."

Bell: "I won't. It's safe with me."

Regina: "I know."

Taka: "I'm gonna go sit with Megumi now. Talk to you later."

Regina: "Ok Taka."

Bell: "You worry for your brother a lot huh Regina?"

Regina: "Yeah. I can't help but think what is was like for him to go to jail, even if it was only a couple of weeks till his trial. I was so afraid I'd lose my brother forever. Then he had to join the Navy, and the SEAL's on top of it all. I'm just glad he was around when mom and dad passed. I don't know what I'd have done."

Bell: "Well. Will has everything going for him now. His business is doing great is it not?"

Regina: "Yeah. He finally said he's going to have to hire a few people to handle other things for him. That and he's tired of not spending enough time with me. Now I'm sure Skuld is just as much of a reason too."

Bell: "I'm very glad they like each other so much."

Regina: "Yeah. I think he's going to curb some of his late working and stuff now. Before Donna was killed in that accident, they'd had a small fight about how he worked too much and she never got to spend much time with her. I think it haunts him till this day."

Bell: "Oh poor Will. I'm sure Skuld will do everything to make him happy. I feel my sister loves him very much. So I'm not worried much about them, are you?"

Regina: "Oh NO. Not at all. He's very smitten with her. He was concerned that he was six years older than her. But I straightened him out. Heheheh."

Bell: "(giggled) I bet you did. Come on let's go sit and eat with everyone, I think we can still salvage this party yet."

Regina: "Ok Bell. You know what?"

Bell: "What?"

Regina: "Will and I both are very grateful to have met you all, and it's terrific to have friends like you. You're the sweetest people."
Bell couldn't help but giggle.

Bell: "Thank you Regina. We feel the same way about all of you. If we can ever do anything at all, please don't be afraid to ask, okay?"

Regina: "Sure. Let's go eat I'm dying for that barbeque chicken!"

Bell: "Me too!"
