Heero had been glaring. Glaring like he would at an enemy. He had been glaring at his son and one of his two daughters like this for about half an hour wanting an explanation.
"I'm still waiting," he said in his expressionless voice. Reuben and Sammy sat on the couch try to think of a worthy excuse. Sammy had clean up. Her jade green eyes were famed by her shoulder-length, auburn red hair.
She and Reuben had also been allowed to change. Sammy was wearing cut-off blue jean shorts and a white tank-top. Reuben was wearing blue jeans and a red muscle shirt. Heero had changed as well. He wore a black muscle shirt and black jeans.
"Still haven't figure out what to say to Mr. Car Mechanic over there?" Amber asked, sitting down next to Reuben.
"Heero a car mechanic?" Relena asked sitting next to her. Both had change. Relena was wearing some of Amber's cloths which was a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts. Amber wore an ice blue t-shirt and blue jeans.
"Yep and I was excepting him to be a drill sergeant when I met him but then again, he was working at a bar when I met him," Amber said.
"Daddy work as a bar tender?" Sammy all but screamed.
"No, if he did I wouldn't had married him," Amber said.
"You are not allowed to talk unless it's an explanation for this morning," Heero said frostily, still holding his children under his icy gaze.
"What was Heero if he wasn't a bar tender?" Relena asked.
"Pianist for this band that was a regular at the bar," Amber said. The teens just stare at her.
"Really?" Relena asked.
"Yep and if you were lucky, you'd hear him sing on rare occasions. There were six girls in the band and five guys. They always seemed to be which someone in that band at all times. It was fun when they all were together and not playing music," Amber said, distantly.
"How did you and Heero meet?" Relena asked. Amber cast a worry glance over at Heero but before he could say anything a young female voice screamed, "WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU TWO?"
"I see Sophie awake," Amber said, getting up. "Come on, Relena. It is to boring in here. And anyway you said you'd help me with the garden." She gabbed Relena's hand and pulled her into the hall.
"You got two minuets before I grounded you both for a month," Heero said in that same icy voice. Reuben and Sammy stared at each other.
"He spayed whip cream on my face when I was asleep and I decided to get even by try to
knock him out with Momma's new lamp," Sammy said meekly.
"You both are going to do your sister chores and your own. I also want them done by 5:00 each day. You'll be doing this for two weeks and if you complain about it, it will be four weeks. Am I clear?" Heero asked. Sammy and Reuben nodded their heads.
"Good. You can leave now," Heero said, getting up. He went outside.
"Well, lets get started," Reuben said getting up.
"This is all your fault, you know," Sammy said, getting up as well.
"Is not," Reuben said walking down the hall, running in to his mother.
"So, what punishment did he give ya?" Amber asked.
"Sophie chores," Reuben answered.
"Isn't that little harsh?" Relena asked.
"Far from it. Harsh is having to do that military training he put us though sometimes," Reuben said.
"Where's Daddy?" a young girl asked. She had long auburn red hair that was pulled back at the base of her neck. Her jade green eyes were framed by black rim glasses. She wore a short sleeve, button-down white shirt and a long black skirt.
"Outside, Sophie," Reuben answered. Sophie brushed pasted them.
"Who was she?'' Duo asked, some hair out of his braid.
"Who are you?" Sammy asked.
"Duo Maxwell is the name," Duo answered.
"I'm Reuben and this is Sammy, the tomboy and that was Sophie, the genius," Reuben said.
"And what are you?" Duo asked.
"I'm the outsider," Reuben said.

Hey, hope you liked this. I'm try to get this story moving but with school it's tremendously hard. Well, I do my best to get these chapters out. I was hoping to put Heero's age in the story but that doesn't look like that's going to happen soon. So I'll tell you Heero's age. Heero is thirty-two years old. Please review and bless those that have.
Ja ne,
