Shortly after the two of them had talked, Charlie and Teddy were down in the living room with their parents.
"You should have hit him harder," said Bob.
"Bob!" said Amy.
"The little jerk deserves to lose some teeth for what he threatened her with, Amy, and I'm surprised that you're not on my side with this," said Bob.
"I actually agree with dad, something needs to happen with this boy," said Teddy. Before Amy could say anything to the two of them, their conversation was cut off by the front door opening.
"Think you all forgot about someone!" said a little boy who walked in, throwing his backpack to the floor as he did so.
"Is it already this late?" asked Amy while looking at a clock which read four.
"Toby, we're all so sorry, something came up and we lost track of time," said Bob.
"Does this have anything to do with Charlie being gay?" asked Toby while walking over to his sister who was sitting on the couch.
"Where did you hear that?" asked Teddy.
"A couple of kids in my class were talking about it at lunch and then asked if it was true before we went back to class," said Toby.
"Told them I have no clue, but if you are then I'm on your side," he said while holding his fist out to Charlie.
"Thanks, little bro," said Charlie as she smiled while giving him a fist bump.
"Alright, it looks like Ben didn't learn his lesson," said Bob.
"Don't worry, dad, I know how to get back at him," said Charlie while standing from the couch and heading for the stairs.
"It doesn't involve hitting him again, does it?" asked a worried Amy.
"No, but I'm going to need some old photos from the photo albums," said Charlie with a grin that sent a chill down everyone's spines.
"Whoa, what did I miss while at school?" asked Toby.
"It's a long story, but I think it's about to come to an end," said Teddy.
