Chapter 10
"I bet two bubble gums."
*I see your two bubble gums and raise you a chocolate truffle.*
A low whistle as a chocolate truffle was thrown into the the pot of candy, "Alright, show me what you got." Erek glared at his oppenent and his opponent's royal flush, "I can't beleive it. You beat me at poker."
Ax shrugged his Andalite shoulders, *Tobias is to blame, I'm just doing what he says.*
*We better go, it's getting late and I need to sleep.* Tobias said, quickly.
"Good night you two." The flew out an open window as Erek started to clean up the cards and random peices of candy that they used as bets. Erek jerked his head up as he heard a low rumble of thunder.
"Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek....." A soft sing song voice and a scratch of nails against his window.
"Who's there?!"
"Eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek......" Again the sing song voice. Scartching of nails against the door now.
Erek walked over to the door and yanked in open, and Neko tumbled against him. "You."
"Shcare you Erek?" Neko slurred, obviously drunk. Erek's sensors told him it was tequila.
"You're drunk."
"No Shhhhhit. Thish ish Eve. Shhhe'sh gonna shhtay here for awhile." Chaos slurred, like Neko, he was very drunk. Eve, the same one that tried to kill the Animorphs, was leaning on him, drunken smile on her face.
"Get inside." Erek placed Neko on his couch and Chaos in a recliner and took the near cosmotose Eve to the guest room. He spent the rest of the night wacthing Neko sleep.

As dawn approached, Erek walked around the house, making preperations for when his guests awoke.
Alrighty, curtains closed, blocking all light, check. Coffee brewing, check. Lots of pain killers, check. Okay. I'm ready!, Erek sighed as he readied himself for the war zone that was going to occur when everyone woke up.
As the clock neared noon, Erek turned off the VCR. Okay. Shows taped, check. Now I have to wake up the sleepers. Erek pushed the hair out of Neko's face and whispered, "Neko, you have to get up."
"No." Was the muffled reply, as the blankets were drawned up over her head.
"I have coffee......" A cat ear poked out from underneth the blanket. "French Vanilla." A hazel eye peeked out.
"Really?"
"Yeah. And headache medicine. Lots of it."
"You're so my hero. Wake me up again in an hour when I can actually function."
Erek rose as Neko once again pulled the blankets over her head. Sighing in defeat, he glanced at Chaos and saw the boy was waking on his own. That was a good sign. Last time Erek had tried to wake Chaos from an alcohol induced slumber, his entire programming almost got erased.
"Advil and coffee's in the kitchen, Chaos." Erek said, as Chaos walked past him. Chaos merely grunted and kept walking, hat firmly in place on his head.
"Have you ever taken that hat off?"
"........................no."
Erek blinked as Eve floated down the stairs, "Why is there a little man with a jackhammer in my brain?" she moaned, floating in front of Erek.
"Eve, this is your first hangover. I want you to go into the kitchen, take two Advil and drink some coffee."
"..............okay...." Eve floated away into the kitchen. Erek followed her in and watched as Chaos went through the sacredritual of prepareing his coffee. One sugar, two sugars, three sugars, and counting to five seconds with the milk. The same way Neko takes hers. They were odd like that. Neko and Chaos, they could finish each others sentances, and they even shared the same mood swings. No wonder they claim that they're brother and sister, Erek mused.
Neko walked in, blanket over her head and wrapped around her body, "Tequila slammers, they destroy me."
"Lay off the Goth TK, Neko." Chaos muttered into his coffee. Erek rolled his eyes. Goth TK was some fan girl created character based on TK from Season Two Digimon. Neko became hooked on the gothic's site soon after discovering Goth TK.
"But he's my soul mate." She fixed herself a cup of coffee and took a sip, "Erek you love me. It's French Vanilla."
"I happened to have developed an aquired taste to it, if you don't mind me deflating your ego a bit." Neko just grinned from under her blanket, then the door opened and let blinding sunlight stream into the room. Neko recoiled into a dark cornor, hissing. Chaos forcibly placed Erek in front of the offending light and Eve charged up a ball of electric energy, ready to let it fly at the intruders, otherwise known as Jake, Rachel, and Cassie.
