Well we got ourselves an inspired author. You people make a girl feel
welcome. I have never ever written a story so long or updated so fast. Of
course this idea has been in my head ever since the last episode of Gundam
Wing aired on Cartoon Network. To answer Chibi Slasher's question, if
you're talking about Sam and Kylie then no, at least not for now. *Wink
Wink*
Disclaimer: Nope don't 'em, never have, never will. I just like to pretend I do. I also do not own Spider-Man or any other real life movie, celebrity, or products of industry. I don't even own Sam; he was just my version of the character from the movie staring Madonna and Rupert Everett in the Next Best Thing. It's a good movie by the way. Most of the characters in this story are gay. If that's not your cup of tea, then I suggest you get your keester out of my fic so the rest of the opened-minded people //can// enjoy the fic. Now that that's out of the way on with the fic.

Kylie, Sam and Riley were sitting on the sidewalk talking about some of the movies they wanted to see while both Sam and the twins' parents were inside. It was almost noon now. Suddenly girl about their age and size with shoulder length purple hair with streaks of blue on her bangs, and a boy who also looked about their age with short red spiky hair and glasses came roller blading over to them.
"Hey guys, they get here yet?" "No." "Oh hey, you're that kid that just moved here yesterday right?" she said noticing him. "And I'm sure that these two have told many lies about me and I strongly recommend you believe everything you hear." "Well then you must obviously be the *Flamboyant* Taylor I've heard so much about." The five preteens moved into the house with greetings from the two couples and themselves before they headed out to the backyard "Hmm, that name sounds catchy but of course I can't go anywhere without my assistant Maxini, great great great greeeeeaaaaat grandson of the legendary Houdini," she said indicating the boy beside her.
"And if you believe that my dear friend, she'll suck you dry like the leech //believe// me." Max said smiling at Sam. " (scoffs), I am not a leech, it's not my fault if peoples' energy just seems to leave their bodies and flow into mine, filling me with love." "And yet leaving everyone else annoyed with you in the process." Riley said from her spot on the floor. "You know with friends like you who needs enemies."
"Well they couldn't be a very smart enemy if they chose to mess with our family," came a cocky voice from behind them. They turned around to see a tall girl with short light dark chocolate hair and a lopsided grin on her face. "Hey Nikki, you know you gotta stop doin that," Taylor said as she clutched her chest especially since Nikki was //right// behind her. "But I love the fact that I know I can kill you without even touching you, it's save me some work." Nikki said with a grin as two other girls and two other boys came into view.
"I swear I get no respect from any of you," Taylor said as her index finger circled the crowd for emphasis. "Of course you don't, if we gave you any respect it would go straight to your head," said a girl with Prussian colored eyes and long light colored hair that hung loosely behind her and a smirk on her face. Of which Taylor scowled at. "Hi, Raven!" she muttered. "You know I'd hate to see how you guys would act at my funeral, it'd be one big comedy."
"Well then I'd be the host, and Kylie and Jade could be the entertainers while Max would take care of the inventory, and Jade could do the music, while Raven got it all on film via satellite."
"What is this rant on Taylor day?" "No you just make an easy target, plus you're just so cute when you're mad." Said Jade with a calm look on her face. Yup, it was conformed, Nikki is a bad influence on us. And Jade's older than Nikki, well by ten minutes anyway, Kylie mused to herself.
"Oh hey, you must be Sam." "Yeeahhh, how'd you know?" He said very slowly "Cause ying and yang over there called us earlier this morning to fill us in on you before //I// not them //I// do anything stupid." "You know guys I'm a genius too." Nikki said looking at her family. "Well most of the time you don't act like it," said Riley looking about ready to laugh at Nikki's choice of expression involving her hands.
"Annnyway, when did you guys get here?" Asked Max. "Just now, but long enough to here most of your conversation," said a boy with short brown hair and blonde streaks." "Hey Keno, I didn't know were coming," Taylor said forgetting her anger and looking at him in confusion. "Yeah I didn't either but //somebody// happens to be very persuasive, that is if persuasive involves annoying the person into submission," he said looking at Nikki. She turned to him with her hands up in mock defense.
"What, can I help it if I refuse to let you be the only one with no social life." "I mean none of us have one either, but for you it's just plain creepy." "Your dad is quiet." Keno stated. "Yes but my dad is a cool quiet, you just give me a freak me out quiet." "Then I'll be sure to use it often if it will get you into a mental hospital fast enough, because you're obviously going, I'm just speeding up the process." He wore a smirk as he watched Nikki's mouth move open and closed to make a comeback but it was obvious that he'd won.
"Nikki… has nothing…to say." Kylie said pausing with words as if in shock. "So Keno how much do you want, because if you can get Nikki to shut up, you //have// to be paid," said Jade with a grin on her face. "She's right this has to qualify as a miracle." Said a boy with orange hair and slight freckles. "Walter I didn't… know you were coming." Kylie said with a fake surprise and obvious effect in her voice that she wasn't happy about this. Though Walter had been her friend since like preschool he had only found out about her parents and family two months and a half ago and let's just say his reaction wasn't pleasant but a week later he came around.
"No one //asked// for your opinion Walter," Nikki mumbled. "You know why don't we just go inside and greet our neglected family." Nikki said after a minute, giving up arguing with Keno… for now.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The group walked into the house to see all of their families in amusing conversation with each other. "Hey look who finally decided to greet us." "Well we had to be fashionably late." Replied Taylor with a bow. "Of course Taylor, of course." "You know I think this whole family picks a year and just randomly selects a person to tease for our little tradition cause last it was Nikki who got all the hits." "You're right Taylor, it's a conspiracy, everyone //picks// a year to pick on you. You finally figured it out." "Anyway, hi Uncle Duo etc…"
As the families and friends bonded or bickered in Duo, Wufei, Nikki and Taylor's case, (Wufei calling Duo any known insult in Chinese or English, some even in Japanese, for insistently calling him names like Wuffers, Wuffie, or Fei Fei and Taylor and Nikki just disagreeing to disagree.) Heero and Trowa walked out into the front to talk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trowa and Heero laughed as they leaned against the rail of the front porch. "Crazy baka." Heero said while still laughing. "Yeah but you still love him." Trowa said. "That I do." Heero said with a smirk and a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I don't know how you do it Heero, and you have to not only live with him but sleep in the same room, how do you sleep?" "Simple, just find something to tire him out and he'll be asleep for hours." Trowa laughed at Heero's double meaning.
"Plus those two are filled with enough energy that I can take a break once in awhile." Heero said referring to Raven and Nikki. "Yeah, but I'm sure Nikki has enough energy for both your family and mine." "Yeah it's just that the good-side to that is unlike Duo she was born with half of my personality, meaning I never have to worry about keeping her in line, now Duo… that's another story." "True, true." Trowa said with a nod. The two just stayed in silence for while listening to the amusing arguments happening inside. After awhile Heero spoke.
"So how are things with you and Quatre?" "Fine, you?" "There great, looking forward to tomorrow?" "Yeah I still can't believe that it will be officially twelve years since I married Quatre." "Nor I for Duo." "Do you know what your kids have planned this year?" "Nope" "Mine either." They were Gundam pilots who could infiltrate bases and download data from computer, or decode secret messages, but when it came to finding out what their children had planned for them, they were completely stumped, and it didn't help that the girls knew all their tricks either.
After a few more moments of silence the pair turned back into the house just in time to see Wufei with scissors in hand with a demonic glint in his eyes as he cornered a rather defenseless Duo. "Hey come on man can't you take a joke, you know, just a little joy to lighten the mood?" "Come on!" "N-no NO Not THE BRAID!!!!" Duo shouted half hysterically as Wufei grabbed his braid with the scissors only inches away from touching it.
"Only if you promise not to call me Wufffers Fei Fei or any other name other than Wufei." Duo thought for a moment and then looked at Heero with pleading eyes. "Oh no, I won't fall for the puppy dog treatment, you got yourself into this so you can get yourself out." Heero said with a slight smirk as Duo scowled. "Fine" he growled and scowled again as he saw Raven and Nikki laughing at him while Nikki taped the whole scene with a digital camera. "Hey your both supposed to be on my side." He whined. "Sorry dad but it was too funny not to tape." Raven said between laughs. "Yeah, besides I want to have something to tell my children, like that they can blackmail their granddad by threatening to cut his braid off if they want something." Nikki said closing the small camera and putting it back in her pocket and heading back out to the backyard with their posse in tow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Three hours later the gang were all passing time by either doing stand up comedy or open discussion. It was Nikki's turn.
"Alright people today I'm gonna talk about things that need to be said that no one else wants to say. For some reason people think that once one thing's stayed the way it is for a long time, it doesn't need to change. Well I totally disagree with that theory. So I will say the things that no one else will say like… shampoo." "Do we really need the directions on the back of the bottle?" "It goes like this rinse and repeat, but how many times?" she said with a finger on her chin.
"And then if you have problems with the directions they have a 1-800 number for you to call." "But how can you, you can't read any way, how would you know what the numbers are?" "Oh they have //pictures// to show you how to call and how to wash but you're still not sure how many times how to wash."" "You know the only thing worse than calling the 1-800 number is being the person you talk to at the 1-800 number." "Unhh huh, hello, unhh huh, unhhhh huh, okay did you put water in your hair before you used the conditioner?" "Ahh (snaps fingers), my pleasure."
"You know there will always be someone telling you how to do something simply because you need someone to tell you what to do." "If you can remember to take gainocophia (1) everyday, //you don't need to take it anymore//." "Doctors just need you to be dependent on something so you call them when you run out." "Because they need the money." "The whole reason why they're so rich is because their little experiments seem to multiply to more people who become dependent to use the drug they don't need because they remember to take the drug." "But //they// don't know that."
"Another thing I find people doing, well mostly males anyway, is whenever they sit down their hands always seem to make it to their pants, yeah I said it, I just want to know why." "It's a thing they do, they get relaxed and their hand just seems to go down to the area that's most relaxed, which just happens to be down there. It's one of the reasons why "it" was named "Mr. Happy." Said Taylor. "Yes dear, it's a subconscious thing they do, that and taking the last bit of food." "Is that true guys," Taylor said daringly. "Uhh, no comment," said Keno. "Yeah I plead the fifth," said Sam. "I second it," said Max. "You know I really think we need to have more male friends, that way girls can't single us out," said Walter.
"You know it's funny, when we actually come up with a topic for you guys to defend yourselves, none of you have anything to say, yet you always want to get upset when someone of the XY species says something about how we're always put in a stereotype." Said Kylie with a grin, as the boys seemed to find whatever was in the sky more interesting than what was going on in the conversation. "Well anyway getting back to the topic, it's my turn and I pick stand up, seeing as I've suddenly been inspired." Walter said indicating the six females who still seemed to be trying to control their laughter.
He took a deep breath and began. "You know what I really don't see what's wrong with gays in the military. I mean there really shouldn't be any homophobic people out there because everybody has to have that one gay aunt or uncle in their family. You're probably thinking about it right now aren't yah. You know I say let them fight; I'm not, so if they do then by all means. If my uncle Bertha or aunt Tom want to fight then go ahead." "My uncle/aunt Tom will definitely be in there to take off his earrings and high heels and go and kick some enemy butt." He said acting all prancing and talking with a lisp. The girls laughed halfheartedly at Walter's stereotypical remarks. This may have been a //little// sugar- coated for Walter but they knew better. Though Walter meant well he always over did it with the stereotypes and no matter how many times they explained that he needed to be a little considerate of who he talked to when acting that way and he apologized he still ended up doing it. The girls all looked at each other while clapping. This wasn't going to be the last remark of the day. Luckily their parents came to tell them they were ready to leave.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As the group all walked down to the bus stop Sam couldn't help but ask the question he wondered since they had left. He inched close to Kylie and whispered "Why are we taking the bus to the movies when we could have just used one of yours or my families cars?" "Oh this is still part of our tradition, see when we were four ironically when we planned to go to the movies no ones car was working so we took the bus and we've done it ever since because the good thing about a bus is that if and when it breaks down you can always take another and since it's not your ride you never have to wait around for someone to fix it so it's faster and you don't waist time." Sam laughed at the comment.
"What?" Kylie asked. "Do you have an answer for every question?" Sam said while with a chuckle. "Well you seem to have a question for every answer." Kylie said with a smile. "Yes but hasn't there been a time where you just didn't answer because you didn't know?" "No because that would mean that I didn't have an answer for everything, which means I'd have to take your job and ask questions all the time." Kylie said casually walking with her arms crossed behind her back. The two laughed as they made more comebacks at one another before finally reaching the bus stop. There were three girls at about at least sixteen already there in deep conversation.
"Another reason why we all like to take the bus is because of the people you meet, it's just something you could never get trapped inside a car." Kylie said with a smirk as she watched the red head, brunette and blonde now staring at all of the male members of her family. She quickly went and informed her sister and cousins and her friends got the jist in the end.
If there was anything she hated it was cheerleaders. Let's get it straight she liked cheerleaders just not the traditional ditzy valley girl talking cheerleader who hated the out crowd and dated the superficial jock. The girl who got good grades on looks alone and not because of actually breaking a sweat at something other than flips and jumping around. The fact that her parents were usually rich and the principals or founders of the school didn't help. Especially since they were always trying to expel her or her family for some made up reason.
Kylie knew who these girls were even if they couldn't take the time to remember her not that she expected their small brains to remember anything as far back as a week let alone five years of torture and humiliation at school. All they probably remember from a week now was what new outfit matched the color of their eyes. In school the cheerleaders were the popular in crowd while Kylie her sister cousins and friends were at the head of the out crowd and enemy #1. But that was okay that's how her and the pep squad liked it. Suddenly the bus came and the girls were still looking at Kylie's dads and uncles as they got on the bus. Somehow they knew they had to get these leeches away from their family.
With Kylie and the gang in the back and the adults in at least five rows of seats ahead of them and the teens were right in the middle. "God they look like they need a bib or something to stop the drool," said Raven in utter disgust. The girls watched in repulsion as they heard the airheads comments about //their// dads.
"Ohhh my god that guy with the braid is such a hottie." The brunette said with the traditional valley girl accent. Both Nikki and Raven breathed in and out as they heard the girls talk about their dads like they were a piece of meat and gripping the seats was all Nikki could do to keep herself from lunging at the ditzes as she heard the next comment. The redhead scoffs as she said her comment to that statement.
"Ihh you can have him I want either the blonde or the or that guy with the wild dark hair, I mean he looks so manly to me the blonde looks like he'd run in tears after I let him go." To this both Riley and Kylie were just gripping the seats to control themselves from doing morbid thoughts to the girls right now. "Well that "manly" guy looks like he'd just give you a one night stand." To this all three girls started laughing.
All of the girls friends really were angry at the teens for their rude behavior as well but right now they feared what the girls might do to them as they watched the pole that Nikki was gripping shake violently "Well I just want the Latino over there he looks like the perfect guy for me." That was the last straw. Suddenly Kylie got up from her seat and walked over to the girls looking sweet innocent and naïve as she could though her thoughts were definitely anything but pure.
"Umm excuse me but why are you staring at them?" The girls look up at Kylie like she was the nastiest thing in the world. "//Why// do you care?" the girl with the blonde hair asked rather rudely, looking at Kylie like she did something wrong. "Well because my daddy told me that staring and pointing was wrong and that's what you're doing to those guys over there." "Well is your daddy here?" asked the middle girl. "Well your daddy is an idiot and you are a pest." The girl on the left said. "Oh is that so?" asked a voice from behind Kylie. She turned around and smirked as she saw her sister. Now the game was going to get interesting.
"What the hell is this is there a Barney convention in the City or something?" said the Red head "Yeah why don't you go away?" said the brunette. "But we just want to know why you were staring at those men over there." "Listen little girls why don't you go back and play with your little friends and stay out of grown peoples business okay." The red head said each word slowly in child-like voice, acting as if the twins I.Q. were as small as a peanut when of course they should talk.
"But it is our business because we know those men" said Riley. "Oh do you?" The girls said looking at each other obviously interested in finding out something about the bishounens three rows down. "Yes we do," said Kylie. "And how's that," said the blonde. "Well there pretty close to us." Riley said. "Oh really, well what can you tell us about them?" said the redhead. "Well I'm not so sure that they would want us telling you information about them, I mean they don't even know you." Kylie said "Well that's why we're asking you so they //can// get to know us" said the brunette.
"I don't think they'd be interested in you." "Well I know the Chinese guy wouldn't be interested seeing as how close he is to that woman, but I think that this Latino would go for me," she said referring to Sally and Trowa. "Well if you really want to get to know them I hope you don't start saying things like the "Chinese guy"," Riley said somewhat offended at how the girls referred to people. "Well that won't matter once he's seen me," said the redhead arrogantly as if their dad was her territory. "Well I don't think you're his type," said Kylie trying to control her anger.
"Well how couldn't I be and how do you know." "Well first off you're only what sixteen and he's like twenty eight so I think that sums it up right there that he's not interested." "Well kid there are ways to catch a mans' attention without saying anything she said showing a little cleavage," she said exposing her shoulders and adjusting her chest. To say that she had a large bosom was like saying the Atlantic Ocean was damp.
"Well I still don't think he'd go for you, one being he's not dense or perverted enough to risk doing anything stupid with a minor and I know he'd never go with you second of all because he's my dad, you sick little bimbo." Kylie said her anger rising at the fact that the girl would even think of trying to seduce her dad by showing off her body because she thought she was god's gift to men and they'd lick the ground she walked on was just unacceptable.
"Hey you know you look familiar," said the Blonde. "Well it's not surprising I do go to your school, but I wouldn't expect any of you to actually think that far for memory, it's just one step at a day and that's it right, you might bust the many needed brain cells that you do have in the process." "What did you say to me you little twerp?" said the redhead. "Which one she said two insults, but if you're talking about the one-sided Lolita scene we just saw I'd be happy to elaborate if you misunderstood." "Since I'm pretty sure you did with all the big words."
"If I recall correctly with my own choice of words if you may, she said that you might want to quit whoring her dad cause he's not desperate and if you may look over to the blonde sitting next to him (she got close to the girl and whispered in her ear with the girl following her gaze) he's already taken by him and that's her other dad." Nikki said almost laughing at the expressions of the three girls. The girl looked practically mortified at the news she heard. She and her friends rang the bell to get off at the next stop.
However right before the girls took off at a sprint Kylie stopped them by saying "Oh and don't for the record tell Carmen I said hi." The trio suddenly turned to Kylie with wide eyes recognizing Kylie at once but they never got to ask since the doors closed and the bus drove off at that very moment. All three of the girls sat back down joining all their friends and family in the laughter while there parents looked back none the wiser or so it would seem to the normal eyes but the girls saw the small smirk playing on Quatre lips Duo's wink and the very amused glint in Trowa Heero and Wufei's eyes telling them they heard the entire time. The girls just smiled and nodded back to their fathers as the bus ride continued.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Neither of the girls realized how long they had been talking but they figured it had to have been long since they only had five stops before they reached the movies. The movie was as any theater was colder than needed to be even in a heat wave so it was more like an igloo and there were a lot of lines but that's the good thing with a big family. So since there were nine adults and ten children one adult and one or two children for every line. It's the best plan for going to the movies on crowded days like Fridays and Saturday.
Soon the family were at a line that moved unbelievably quickly or it could have been because Alex and Duo were either by screaming every five seconds to the next person in line that there was a rat on the floor and putting a black piece of cloth down and moving it around but the two denied ever thinking of a scheme to pull off in public to be an embarrassment just to annoy there family, it was just mere coincidence that the rat was there so they used it to there advantage.
Most boys and girls would have been humiliated that there parents would do something like that in front of them but the girls just couldn't help but cracking up at the scene. People were running and jumping over things and pushing people out of the way even as they made their way to the ticket booth where Heero answered seeing as his insane lover was too distracted too speak. Heero loved the man there was no doubt about that but he just wondered if he was more than one person half the time. And this was coming from the person who had an obsession with self- destructing himself during a mission before he knew that he loved Duo.
After talking it out with his family and friends he ordered nineteen tickets for the 4:20 screening of Spider-Man on the family discount so it only came to $16.50. The family walked into the doors gave their tickets to the usher got their popcorn, peanuts and soda and went to their marked theater. After listening for twenty minutes to elevator music and answering the movie trivia on the screen the lights began to dim and the previews played.
Automatically Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock's preview for their movie Bad Company started to play, followed by the movie Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood followed by Undercover Brother soon followed by the movie signs then Jennifer Lopez's movie enough and closing with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' movie Men In Black 2 and now the movie………….
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The family got up and left as the movie faded to black and the voices of Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott of the song "Hero" came on. Everyone was still sort of in daze as they went to the restrooms. As the girls came out they saw that like them only the male kids had come out. Apparently all their parents had decided to take their sweet time in coming out leaving them there to wait. They all sat or leaned on the rails on the sides of the stairs as they waited.
Suddenly a man came out of the theaters and by the stairs. He accidentally bumped into Walter on his way down mumbling an apology with a slight lisp as he went down.
"You know you could tell that guy was gay." He said and Kylie asked "How so?" "Well the lisp was a dead give away and that tie was much too colorful not to be gay and the way he walked was not helping." He laughed at the thought and turned to the others to find them obviously not finding the joke so humorous. "Geez tough crowd." He said rolling his eyes. "That was not funny Walter." Kylie said. "Ah come on it was just a joke." "It's always just a joke to you isn't it?" said Nikki with hurt in her voice. "Hey I'm sorry I'm sorry I won't make anymore gay jokes okay?"
"Man what's wrong with you, that's not funny, you should know better than to judge some one and even if the guys was gay that still doesn't give you the right to talk about him if you don't even know him." Sam said and everyone else stood shocked for a moment since this was the most Sam had talked all day, so Walter had obviously struck a nerve.
"Hey come on guys I said I was sorry." "You always say you're sorry yet you don't seem to think your jokes have any relation with the word so maybe you should just stay away from us until you can say sorry and mean it." Jade said. "Yeah Walter I think Jade's right, and until you learn that your words hurt not only the people you talk about but us as well, because you are talking about us when you say stuff like that, you shouldn't hang around us for the time being." Kylie said with unshed tears that she quickly wiped away as her family came from the restrooms.
The ride home was more sedated than it was coming from it. Walter sat by himself in deep thought as everyone else sat to the side away from him. All the adults knew that there was some tension and knew who it was directed to but figured they'd better not say anything and just give the kid his space and hopefully it would work out for the best tomorrow.
That night everyone stayed at Kylie's except Walter. He said he really did need time to think about his actions. That's not what he said to the parents but that was the general idea.

Well I am back and better than ever. I am out of school and on Wednesday I will be an official 8th grade graduate so getting reviews for my fic would really help me feel happy that day. Especially since I have to give a speech right in front of the crowd so no pressure. Yeah right.
Gainocophia- I don't know how to spell it but it's supposed to be a disease in which you are very forgetful of things and need to take medicine so you remember to remember. So you don't need a drug you just need to write things down.
Bishounen- Pretty boy. Bi- means pretty and shounain means boy. Just a little Japanese on case you wanted to know.
Next chapter will be up soon hopefully. It //will// be 3x4 Lemon. If I get enough reviews that is.
Well R&R so I know if you like it.
Disclaimer: Nope don't 'em, never have, never will. I just like to pretend I do. I also do not own Spider-Man or any other real life movie, celebrity, or products of industry. I don't even own Sam; he was just my version of the character from the movie staring Madonna and Rupert Everett in the Next Best Thing. It's a good movie by the way. Most of the characters in this story are gay. If that's not your cup of tea, then I suggest you get your keester out of my fic so the rest of the opened-minded people //can// enjoy the fic. Now that that's out of the way on with the fic.

Kylie, Sam and Riley were sitting on the sidewalk talking about some of the movies they wanted to see while both Sam and the twins' parents were inside. It was almost noon now. Suddenly girl about their age and size with shoulder length purple hair with streaks of blue on her bangs, and a boy who also looked about their age with short red spiky hair and glasses came roller blading over to them.
"Hey guys, they get here yet?" "No." "Oh hey, you're that kid that just moved here yesterday right?" she said noticing him. "And I'm sure that these two have told many lies about me and I strongly recommend you believe everything you hear." "Well then you must obviously be the *Flamboyant* Taylor I've heard so much about." The five preteens moved into the house with greetings from the two couples and themselves before they headed out to the backyard "Hmm, that name sounds catchy but of course I can't go anywhere without my assistant Maxini, great great great greeeeeaaaaat grandson of the legendary Houdini," she said indicating the boy beside her.
"And if you believe that my dear friend, she'll suck you dry like the leech //believe// me." Max said smiling at Sam. " (scoffs), I am not a leech, it's not my fault if peoples' energy just seems to leave their bodies and flow into mine, filling me with love." "And yet leaving everyone else annoyed with you in the process." Riley said from her spot on the floor. "You know with friends like you who needs enemies."
"Well they couldn't be a very smart enemy if they chose to mess with our family," came a cocky voice from behind them. They turned around to see a tall girl with short light dark chocolate hair and a lopsided grin on her face. "Hey Nikki, you know you gotta stop doin that," Taylor said as she clutched her chest especially since Nikki was //right// behind her. "But I love the fact that I know I can kill you without even touching you, it's save me some work." Nikki said with a grin as two other girls and two other boys came into view.
"I swear I get no respect from any of you," Taylor said as her index finger circled the crowd for emphasis. "Of course you don't, if we gave you any respect it would go straight to your head," said a girl with Prussian colored eyes and long light colored hair that hung loosely behind her and a smirk on her face. Of which Taylor scowled at. "Hi, Raven!" she muttered. "You know I'd hate to see how you guys would act at my funeral, it'd be one big comedy."
"Well then I'd be the host, and Kylie and Jade could be the entertainers while Max would take care of the inventory, and Jade could do the music, while Raven got it all on film via satellite."
"What is this rant on Taylor day?" "No you just make an easy target, plus you're just so cute when you're mad." Said Jade with a calm look on her face. Yup, it was conformed, Nikki is a bad influence on us. And Jade's older than Nikki, well by ten minutes anyway, Kylie mused to herself.
"Oh hey, you must be Sam." "Yeeahhh, how'd you know?" He said very slowly "Cause ying and yang over there called us earlier this morning to fill us in on you before //I// not them //I// do anything stupid." "You know guys I'm a genius too." Nikki said looking at her family. "Well most of the time you don't act like it," said Riley looking about ready to laugh at Nikki's choice of expression involving her hands.
"Annnyway, when did you guys get here?" Asked Max. "Just now, but long enough to here most of your conversation," said a boy with short brown hair and blonde streaks." "Hey Keno, I didn't know were coming," Taylor said forgetting her anger and looking at him in confusion. "Yeah I didn't either but //somebody// happens to be very persuasive, that is if persuasive involves annoying the person into submission," he said looking at Nikki. She turned to him with her hands up in mock defense.
"What, can I help it if I refuse to let you be the only one with no social life." "I mean none of us have one either, but for you it's just plain creepy." "Your dad is quiet." Keno stated. "Yes but my dad is a cool quiet, you just give me a freak me out quiet." "Then I'll be sure to use it often if it will get you into a mental hospital fast enough, because you're obviously going, I'm just speeding up the process." He wore a smirk as he watched Nikki's mouth move open and closed to make a comeback but it was obvious that he'd won.
"Nikki… has nothing…to say." Kylie said pausing with words as if in shock. "So Keno how much do you want, because if you can get Nikki to shut up, you //have// to be paid," said Jade with a grin on her face. "She's right this has to qualify as a miracle." Said a boy with orange hair and slight freckles. "Walter I didn't… know you were coming." Kylie said with a fake surprise and obvious effect in her voice that she wasn't happy about this. Though Walter had been her friend since like preschool he had only found out about her parents and family two months and a half ago and let's just say his reaction wasn't pleasant but a week later he came around.
"No one //asked// for your opinion Walter," Nikki mumbled. "You know why don't we just go inside and greet our neglected family." Nikki said after a minute, giving up arguing with Keno… for now.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The group walked into the house to see all of their families in amusing conversation with each other. "Hey look who finally decided to greet us." "Well we had to be fashionably late." Replied Taylor with a bow. "Of course Taylor, of course." "You know I think this whole family picks a year and just randomly selects a person to tease for our little tradition cause last it was Nikki who got all the hits." "You're right Taylor, it's a conspiracy, everyone //picks// a year to pick on you. You finally figured it out." "Anyway, hi Uncle Duo etc…"
As the families and friends bonded or bickered in Duo, Wufei, Nikki and Taylor's case, (Wufei calling Duo any known insult in Chinese or English, some even in Japanese, for insistently calling him names like Wuffers, Wuffie, or Fei Fei and Taylor and Nikki just disagreeing to disagree.) Heero and Trowa walked out into the front to talk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trowa and Heero laughed as they leaned against the rail of the front porch. "Crazy baka." Heero said while still laughing. "Yeah but you still love him." Trowa said. "That I do." Heero said with a smirk and a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I don't know how you do it Heero, and you have to not only live with him but sleep in the same room, how do you sleep?" "Simple, just find something to tire him out and he'll be asleep for hours." Trowa laughed at Heero's double meaning.
"Plus those two are filled with enough energy that I can take a break once in awhile." Heero said referring to Raven and Nikki. "Yeah, but I'm sure Nikki has enough energy for both your family and mine." "Yeah it's just that the good-side to that is unlike Duo she was born with half of my personality, meaning I never have to worry about keeping her in line, now Duo… that's another story." "True, true." Trowa said with a nod. The two just stayed in silence for while listening to the amusing arguments happening inside. After awhile Heero spoke.
"So how are things with you and Quatre?" "Fine, you?" "There great, looking forward to tomorrow?" "Yeah I still can't believe that it will be officially twelve years since I married Quatre." "Nor I for Duo." "Do you know what your kids have planned this year?" "Nope" "Mine either." They were Gundam pilots who could infiltrate bases and download data from computer, or decode secret messages, but when it came to finding out what their children had planned for them, they were completely stumped, and it didn't help that the girls knew all their tricks either.
After a few more moments of silence the pair turned back into the house just in time to see Wufei with scissors in hand with a demonic glint in his eyes as he cornered a rather defenseless Duo. "Hey come on man can't you take a joke, you know, just a little joy to lighten the mood?" "Come on!" "N-no NO Not THE BRAID!!!!" Duo shouted half hysterically as Wufei grabbed his braid with the scissors only inches away from touching it.
"Only if you promise not to call me Wufffers Fei Fei or any other name other than Wufei." Duo thought for a moment and then looked at Heero with pleading eyes. "Oh no, I won't fall for the puppy dog treatment, you got yourself into this so you can get yourself out." Heero said with a slight smirk as Duo scowled. "Fine" he growled and scowled again as he saw Raven and Nikki laughing at him while Nikki taped the whole scene with a digital camera. "Hey your both supposed to be on my side." He whined. "Sorry dad but it was too funny not to tape." Raven said between laughs. "Yeah, besides I want to have something to tell my children, like that they can blackmail their granddad by threatening to cut his braid off if they want something." Nikki said closing the small camera and putting it back in her pocket and heading back out to the backyard with their posse in tow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Three hours later the gang were all passing time by either doing stand up comedy or open discussion. It was Nikki's turn.
"Alright people today I'm gonna talk about things that need to be said that no one else wants to say. For some reason people think that once one thing's stayed the way it is for a long time, it doesn't need to change. Well I totally disagree with that theory. So I will say the things that no one else will say like… shampoo." "Do we really need the directions on the back of the bottle?" "It goes like this rinse and repeat, but how many times?" she said with a finger on her chin.
"And then if you have problems with the directions they have a 1-800 number for you to call." "But how can you, you can't read any way, how would you know what the numbers are?" "Oh they have //pictures// to show you how to call and how to wash but you're still not sure how many times how to wash."" "You know the only thing worse than calling the 1-800 number is being the person you talk to at the 1-800 number." "Unhh huh, hello, unhh huh, unhhhh huh, okay did you put water in your hair before you used the conditioner?" "Ahh (snaps fingers), my pleasure."
"You know there will always be someone telling you how to do something simply because you need someone to tell you what to do." "If you can remember to take gainocophia (1) everyday, //you don't need to take it anymore//." "Doctors just need you to be dependent on something so you call them when you run out." "Because they need the money." "The whole reason why they're so rich is because their little experiments seem to multiply to more people who become dependent to use the drug they don't need because they remember to take the drug." "But //they// don't know that."
"Another thing I find people doing, well mostly males anyway, is whenever they sit down their hands always seem to make it to their pants, yeah I said it, I just want to know why." "It's a thing they do, they get relaxed and their hand just seems to go down to the area that's most relaxed, which just happens to be down there. It's one of the reasons why "it" was named "Mr. Happy." Said Taylor. "Yes dear, it's a subconscious thing they do, that and taking the last bit of food." "Is that true guys," Taylor said daringly. "Uhh, no comment," said Keno. "Yeah I plead the fifth," said Sam. "I second it," said Max. "You know I really think we need to have more male friends, that way girls can't single us out," said Walter.
"You know it's funny, when we actually come up with a topic for you guys to defend yourselves, none of you have anything to say, yet you always want to get upset when someone of the XY species says something about how we're always put in a stereotype." Said Kylie with a grin, as the boys seemed to find whatever was in the sky more interesting than what was going on in the conversation. "Well anyway getting back to the topic, it's my turn and I pick stand up, seeing as I've suddenly been inspired." Walter said indicating the six females who still seemed to be trying to control their laughter.
He took a deep breath and began. "You know what I really don't see what's wrong with gays in the military. I mean there really shouldn't be any homophobic people out there because everybody has to have that one gay aunt or uncle in their family. You're probably thinking about it right now aren't yah. You know I say let them fight; I'm not, so if they do then by all means. If my uncle Bertha or aunt Tom want to fight then go ahead." "My uncle/aunt Tom will definitely be in there to take off his earrings and high heels and go and kick some enemy butt." He said acting all prancing and talking with a lisp. The girls laughed halfheartedly at Walter's stereotypical remarks. This may have been a //little// sugar- coated for Walter but they knew better. Though Walter meant well he always over did it with the stereotypes and no matter how many times they explained that he needed to be a little considerate of who he talked to when acting that way and he apologized he still ended up doing it. The girls all looked at each other while clapping. This wasn't going to be the last remark of the day. Luckily their parents came to tell them they were ready to leave.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As the group all walked down to the bus stop Sam couldn't help but ask the question he wondered since they had left. He inched close to Kylie and whispered "Why are we taking the bus to the movies when we could have just used one of yours or my families cars?" "Oh this is still part of our tradition, see when we were four ironically when we planned to go to the movies no ones car was working so we took the bus and we've done it ever since because the good thing about a bus is that if and when it breaks down you can always take another and since it's not your ride you never have to wait around for someone to fix it so it's faster and you don't waist time." Sam laughed at the comment.
"What?" Kylie asked. "Do you have an answer for every question?" Sam said while with a chuckle. "Well you seem to have a question for every answer." Kylie said with a smile. "Yes but hasn't there been a time where you just didn't answer because you didn't know?" "No because that would mean that I didn't have an answer for everything, which means I'd have to take your job and ask questions all the time." Kylie said casually walking with her arms crossed behind her back. The two laughed as they made more comebacks at one another before finally reaching the bus stop. There were three girls at about at least sixteen already there in deep conversation.
"Another reason why we all like to take the bus is because of the people you meet, it's just something you could never get trapped inside a car." Kylie said with a smirk as she watched the red head, brunette and blonde now staring at all of the male members of her family. She quickly went and informed her sister and cousins and her friends got the jist in the end.
If there was anything she hated it was cheerleaders. Let's get it straight she liked cheerleaders just not the traditional ditzy valley girl talking cheerleader who hated the out crowd and dated the superficial jock. The girl who got good grades on looks alone and not because of actually breaking a sweat at something other than flips and jumping around. The fact that her parents were usually rich and the principals or founders of the school didn't help. Especially since they were always trying to expel her or her family for some made up reason.
Kylie knew who these girls were even if they couldn't take the time to remember her not that she expected their small brains to remember anything as far back as a week let alone five years of torture and humiliation at school. All they probably remember from a week now was what new outfit matched the color of their eyes. In school the cheerleaders were the popular in crowd while Kylie her sister cousins and friends were at the head of the out crowd and enemy #1. But that was okay that's how her and the pep squad liked it. Suddenly the bus came and the girls were still looking at Kylie's dads and uncles as they got on the bus. Somehow they knew they had to get these leeches away from their family.
With Kylie and the gang in the back and the adults in at least five rows of seats ahead of them and the teens were right in the middle. "God they look like they need a bib or something to stop the drool," said Raven in utter disgust. The girls watched in repulsion as they heard the airheads comments about //their// dads.
"Ohhh my god that guy with the braid is such a hottie." The brunette said with the traditional valley girl accent. Both Nikki and Raven breathed in and out as they heard the girls talk about their dads like they were a piece of meat and gripping the seats was all Nikki could do to keep herself from lunging at the ditzes as she heard the next comment. The redhead scoffs as she said her comment to that statement.
"Ihh you can have him I want either the blonde or the or that guy with the wild dark hair, I mean he looks so manly to me the blonde looks like he'd run in tears after I let him go." To this both Riley and Kylie were just gripping the seats to control themselves from doing morbid thoughts to the girls right now. "Well that "manly" guy looks like he'd just give you a one night stand." To this all three girls started laughing.
All of the girls friends really were angry at the teens for their rude behavior as well but right now they feared what the girls might do to them as they watched the pole that Nikki was gripping shake violently "Well I just want the Latino over there he looks like the perfect guy for me." That was the last straw. Suddenly Kylie got up from her seat and walked over to the girls looking sweet innocent and naïve as she could though her thoughts were definitely anything but pure.
"Umm excuse me but why are you staring at them?" The girls look up at Kylie like she was the nastiest thing in the world. "//Why// do you care?" the girl with the blonde hair asked rather rudely, looking at Kylie like she did something wrong. "Well because my daddy told me that staring and pointing was wrong and that's what you're doing to those guys over there." "Well is your daddy here?" asked the middle girl. "Well your daddy is an idiot and you are a pest." The girl on the left said. "Oh is that so?" asked a voice from behind Kylie. She turned around and smirked as she saw her sister. Now the game was going to get interesting.
"What the hell is this is there a Barney convention in the City or something?" said the Red head "Yeah why don't you go away?" said the brunette. "But we just want to know why you were staring at those men over there." "Listen little girls why don't you go back and play with your little friends and stay out of grown peoples business okay." The red head said each word slowly in child-like voice, acting as if the twins I.Q. were as small as a peanut when of course they should talk.
"But it is our business because we know those men" said Riley. "Oh do you?" The girls said looking at each other obviously interested in finding out something about the bishounens three rows down. "Yes we do," said Kylie. "And how's that," said the blonde. "Well there pretty close to us." Riley said. "Oh really, well what can you tell us about them?" said the redhead. "Well I'm not so sure that they would want us telling you information about them, I mean they don't even know you." Kylie said "Well that's why we're asking you so they //can// get to know us" said the brunette.
"I don't think they'd be interested in you." "Well I know the Chinese guy wouldn't be interested seeing as how close he is to that woman, but I think that this Latino would go for me," she said referring to Sally and Trowa. "Well if you really want to get to know them I hope you don't start saying things like the "Chinese guy"," Riley said somewhat offended at how the girls referred to people. "Well that won't matter once he's seen me," said the redhead arrogantly as if their dad was her territory. "Well I don't think you're his type," said Kylie trying to control her anger.
"Well how couldn't I be and how do you know." "Well first off you're only what sixteen and he's like twenty eight so I think that sums it up right there that he's not interested." "Well kid there are ways to catch a mans' attention without saying anything she said showing a little cleavage," she said exposing her shoulders and adjusting her chest. To say that she had a large bosom was like saying the Atlantic Ocean was damp.
"Well I still don't think he'd go for you, one being he's not dense or perverted enough to risk doing anything stupid with a minor and I know he'd never go with you second of all because he's my dad, you sick little bimbo." Kylie said her anger rising at the fact that the girl would even think of trying to seduce her dad by showing off her body because she thought she was god's gift to men and they'd lick the ground she walked on was just unacceptable.
"Hey you know you look familiar," said the Blonde. "Well it's not surprising I do go to your school, but I wouldn't expect any of you to actually think that far for memory, it's just one step at a day and that's it right, you might bust the many needed brain cells that you do have in the process." "What did you say to me you little twerp?" said the redhead. "Which one she said two insults, but if you're talking about the one-sided Lolita scene we just saw I'd be happy to elaborate if you misunderstood." "Since I'm pretty sure you did with all the big words."
"If I recall correctly with my own choice of words if you may, she said that you might want to quit whoring her dad cause he's not desperate and if you may look over to the blonde sitting next to him (she got close to the girl and whispered in her ear with the girl following her gaze) he's already taken by him and that's her other dad." Nikki said almost laughing at the expressions of the three girls. The girl looked practically mortified at the news she heard. She and her friends rang the bell to get off at the next stop.
However right before the girls took off at a sprint Kylie stopped them by saying "Oh and don't for the record tell Carmen I said hi." The trio suddenly turned to Kylie with wide eyes recognizing Kylie at once but they never got to ask since the doors closed and the bus drove off at that very moment. All three of the girls sat back down joining all their friends and family in the laughter while there parents looked back none the wiser or so it would seem to the normal eyes but the girls saw the small smirk playing on Quatre lips Duo's wink and the very amused glint in Trowa Heero and Wufei's eyes telling them they heard the entire time. The girls just smiled and nodded back to their fathers as the bus ride continued.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Neither of the girls realized how long they had been talking but they figured it had to have been long since they only had five stops before they reached the movies. The movie was as any theater was colder than needed to be even in a heat wave so it was more like an igloo and there were a lot of lines but that's the good thing with a big family. So since there were nine adults and ten children one adult and one or two children for every line. It's the best plan for going to the movies on crowded days like Fridays and Saturday.
Soon the family were at a line that moved unbelievably quickly or it could have been because Alex and Duo were either by screaming every five seconds to the next person in line that there was a rat on the floor and putting a black piece of cloth down and moving it around but the two denied ever thinking of a scheme to pull off in public to be an embarrassment just to annoy there family, it was just mere coincidence that the rat was there so they used it to there advantage.
Most boys and girls would have been humiliated that there parents would do something like that in front of them but the girls just couldn't help but cracking up at the scene. People were running and jumping over things and pushing people out of the way even as they made their way to the ticket booth where Heero answered seeing as his insane lover was too distracted too speak. Heero loved the man there was no doubt about that but he just wondered if he was more than one person half the time. And this was coming from the person who had an obsession with self- destructing himself during a mission before he knew that he loved Duo.
After talking it out with his family and friends he ordered nineteen tickets for the 4:20 screening of Spider-Man on the family discount so it only came to $16.50. The family walked into the doors gave their tickets to the usher got their popcorn, peanuts and soda and went to their marked theater. After listening for twenty minutes to elevator music and answering the movie trivia on the screen the lights began to dim and the previews played.
Automatically Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock's preview for their movie Bad Company started to play, followed by the movie Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood followed by Undercover Brother soon followed by the movie signs then Jennifer Lopez's movie enough and closing with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' movie Men In Black 2 and now the movie………….
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The family got up and left as the movie faded to black and the voices of Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott of the song "Hero" came on. Everyone was still sort of in daze as they went to the restrooms. As the girls came out they saw that like them only the male kids had come out. Apparently all their parents had decided to take their sweet time in coming out leaving them there to wait. They all sat or leaned on the rails on the sides of the stairs as they waited.
Suddenly a man came out of the theaters and by the stairs. He accidentally bumped into Walter on his way down mumbling an apology with a slight lisp as he went down.
"You know you could tell that guy was gay." He said and Kylie asked "How so?" "Well the lisp was a dead give away and that tie was much too colorful not to be gay and the way he walked was not helping." He laughed at the thought and turned to the others to find them obviously not finding the joke so humorous. "Geez tough crowd." He said rolling his eyes. "That was not funny Walter." Kylie said. "Ah come on it was just a joke." "It's always just a joke to you isn't it?" said Nikki with hurt in her voice. "Hey I'm sorry I'm sorry I won't make anymore gay jokes okay?"
"Man what's wrong with you, that's not funny, you should know better than to judge some one and even if the guys was gay that still doesn't give you the right to talk about him if you don't even know him." Sam said and everyone else stood shocked for a moment since this was the most Sam had talked all day, so Walter had obviously struck a nerve.
"Hey come on guys I said I was sorry." "You always say you're sorry yet you don't seem to think your jokes have any relation with the word so maybe you should just stay away from us until you can say sorry and mean it." Jade said. "Yeah Walter I think Jade's right, and until you learn that your words hurt not only the people you talk about but us as well, because you are talking about us when you say stuff like that, you shouldn't hang around us for the time being." Kylie said with unshed tears that she quickly wiped away as her family came from the restrooms.
The ride home was more sedated than it was coming from it. Walter sat by himself in deep thought as everyone else sat to the side away from him. All the adults knew that there was some tension and knew who it was directed to but figured they'd better not say anything and just give the kid his space and hopefully it would work out for the best tomorrow.
That night everyone stayed at Kylie's except Walter. He said he really did need time to think about his actions. That's not what he said to the parents but that was the general idea.
TBC
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well I am back and better than ever. I am out of school and on Wednesday I will be an official 8th grade graduate so getting reviews for my fic would really help me feel happy that day. Especially since I have to give a speech right in front of the crowd so no pressure. Yeah right.
Gainocophia- I don't know how to spell it but it's supposed to be a disease in which you are very forgetful of things and need to take medicine so you remember to remember. So you don't need a drug you just need to write things down.
Bishounen- Pretty boy. Bi- means pretty and shounain means boy. Just a little Japanese on case you wanted to know.
Next chapter will be up soon hopefully. It //will// be 3x4 Lemon. If I get enough reviews that is.
Well R&R so I know if you like it.
