To RandomFanAuthor- yes, a Chad! Disgraceful!

"So, you're a witch?"

"Why does-? No, I'm not a witch."

"She is a bitch though." Louisa butted in, grinning cheekily. Dylan, sat on the sofa, threw his hand out behind him. Louisa high-fived him, laughing victoriously.

"Takes one to know one." Reyna muttered. Mikey gasped.

"Yo!" He beamed, flourishing his hand as high as he could. Reyna smiled and obliged, smirking at Louisa's consequent bewilderment.

"How come Mikey gets high-fives?"

"I've adopted Mikey."

"Aww, I love you too!" Mikey gushed. "You look like a no-no for a hug though. Will she kill me if I hug her? I'm gonna hug you anyway." Louisa was not impressed when Reyna allowed the hug as well, grumbling to herself. "Oh, don't get jealous, Lou-Lou! She's gorgeous and kick-ass, but not my type!"

"Lou-Lou?" Reyna echoed.

"It's worse than Fish." Louisa confirmed with a sigh.

"You call me Rey-Rey, how's it any different?"

"Oh, that's so cute!" Mikey squealed. "Ship it!" He sang, clapping and wriggling. "Also, Lizzie is so cool and I am thoroughly enjoying this 'Boomer' thing!"

"You would. Ya lil' shit."

"Um, have you looked in a mirror lately?"

"With that hair, I doubt it." Mikey snarked, earning another high-five from Reyna. Louisa bunched her jaw, staring at Reyna, incredulous and challenging. Dylan turned in his seat, resting his arm on the back of the couch. He had hardly opened his mouth when Louisa shushed him. He tried again and she held up a finger quicker than he could blink, accompanied with another shush.

Mikey nudged Reyna. "Dylan's been trying to make a deal with her for years. If they're both single by the time they're thirty-five, they should just get married. 'Cept, Lou's having none of it and threatened to castrate him."

"That sounds more like Lou." Reyna nodded, turning her head to stare Dylan down. "But I have zero problems castrating him myself if he tries anything like that again." Dylan's smile vanished, paling. He slowly faced forward, slouching and keeping his head down.

"Holy shit, you really are a witch!"

"I'm not a witch!"

"Hell yeah, my girlfriend's magic! Hogwarts here we come!"

"Think we're too old for Hogwarts." Mikey whispered.

"Ain't you just a walkin' funsponge?" Louisa huffed. "Ass." She wrinkled her nose at them. "I'm gonna chill with Estelle. She's nicer than ya'll." She waved vaguely, flipping them a middle finger at the last second and stalked off. Reyna snorted, folding her arms.

"I don't know what to do with her." Mikey grabbed her arm, on his toes to peer closely in her eyes.

"Marry her. Please. At least I won't have to listen to castration threats. And the threats that come after for the rest of the body." He grimaced. "She's violent." He whispered. Reyna looked at him, contemplating that last input.

"Nah." She decided. "She just communicates differently to the rest of us."

"I knew she was an alien."

"No-one said anything about aliens."

"A witch and an alien, that's adorable!"

"You're just as mad as she is."

"Aww, thank you!"

"Hey, Esmelle."

"Estelle!" Percy corrected.

"Nope. Esmelle. She smells." Louisa nodded. "Don't look at me like that, ya lil' turd. Ya stink." Estelle, only a few months old and marvelling at the hubbub of her first Christmas, gaped at her big sister, waving her pudgy fists about.

Percy sighed, rolling his eyes. Louisa set her hands on her hips. "I told ya'll, I don't like babies."

"No duh." Percy readjusted the tot on his hip. "What if you have kids of your own one day?"

"I think we all agreed that that should never happen."

"Well, yeah, but… what if?"

"I'm gettin' a dog."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Dogs stink too."

"Dogs are better than people. Here, Connor." She caught his arm as he was going by, dragging him to an abrupt halt. "Ain't dogs better than people?"

"Yes, but I personally prefer cats over dogs."

"Ugh, not helpin'." She swung his arm away. Connor took that as his cue to go, making a beeline for the buffet. "Here, get this. Lizzie's dad is a Chad."

"Ew, why?"

"Spite."

"Oh. OK."

"'N' a little bit of a revenge too."

"Against-?"

"Yeah, against Boomer."

"That's her name now, isn't it?"

"Duh."

Apologies for not updating as much last couple of days- tiny bit behind on writing, having trouble with my laptop- like it's not working at all, currently using my brother's! And, forgive me, but tiny bit more encouraged by reviews! If you put a request in for one-shots, I've got some on the list, but remind me so I can get to them once I've worked my way through this one! ^_^
