Chapter 25 - Sleep Over Part One
"You know it's too bad that Trowa couldn't be here. What exactly did he have to do anyway?"
"I don't know." Duo shrugged.
Here we are." Kim said as the group stopped in front of a white two story house. Kim turned around to face them.
"First of all, Mom is a bit eccentric. Heero please try to tolerate her. Dad is working so we should be safe, at least for now and we are having turkey for supper."
Ashley and Steph just looked at each other and grinned. They knew Kim's parents and they couldn't wait to see how this was going to turn out.
Kim turned around and turned the silver door knob. She flung the door open and shouted "Tadaima!!!"
"Hi, your friends there with you?" Her mom yelled back from the kitchen from which came a most tempting aroma. They took off their shoes and placed them into the closet before venturing into the living room.
Her mom, Eileen, rushed into the living room to size up the bunch.
"Oh! they're sooooo cute." she said in an overly happy voice as she pinched their cheeks and played with their hair, especially Duo's.
"Mom?"
"Yah?"
"Stop it!!!!" Kim commanded.
Just then, she noticed Heero examining framed photos of the northern lights that hung on the walls.
"Ah! You must be Heero Yuy. I always knew Kim would end up with a Japanese man. Hey, how do you get your hair to stay like that?" she asked and began to poke it.
Kim saw Heero's hand slowly inch towards his gun. She walked over next to him and pinched his arm hard.
"You can't shoot my mom!" she said sternly in a hushed voice. Kim smiled when his face fell to show complete disappointment.
"Mom can you leave us alone?" Kim asked as she pushed her out of the room and back into the kitchen.
"I wonder what her dad's like." Quatre said as he looked towards the kitchen in disbelief.
"Well you heard the saying opposites attract right?" Steph said with a wide grin on her face.
"You guys go on downstairs, I'm sure you'll find something to do." Kim said.
"Me and Heero will take your bags up to my room." she added and looked over her shoulder at Heero. He already had the bags. She went over and took a few from him and the two made their way upstairs.

"Not bad." Duo said as he looked around. There was a big screen TV equipped with surround sound and a DVD player. There was a computer and leather chairs and a bright colored futon next to it.
Ashley picked up a Kim's CD case and flipped through it. "Ah ha!" she shouted in triumph and put it in the computer. Soon, the tune of super sex world came blaring through the speakers.
"Oh yah! That's the song!!!" Steph shouted in agreement and began dancing. The boys shrugged their shoulders and joined in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero looked around Kim's room. The walls were covered with painting, posters and wall scrolls. The shelves were filled with Porcelain dolls and stuffed with manga from various series.
"Did you draw all these?"
"Yup." Kim replied as she rummaged through all her anime movies.
"They're nice."
"Ashley is good at it too. OH! I have to call someone later. I want to see if art classes are going good. Me. Ashley and Christa teach there. Why don't you come with us Saturday and you can meet everyone?"
"Sure." he agreed.
"Supper!!!" Eileen yelled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Supper was great, a huge turkey with vegetables and a Strawberry Cheese cake for desert. Duo ate the most. Three plates of turkey and potatoes and then a few pieces of cheese cake. Ashley kicked him hard in the shin. He got the hint, by the time everyone was finished, nothing was left.
"Mom?" Kim asked cautiously. "Can everyone stay over tonight?"
Kim's mom thought thoughtful. " I guess but you know your father will be home tonight." she warned.
"So guys, do you want to stay over tonight?"
Everyone nodded and Steph and Ashley gave each other high fives.
"Great!!!" Kim said excitedly and rocked back in her chair.
"I need to pick up my things" Ashley and Steph said grinned. They wouldn't miss this sleep over for the world.
"Guys, you wanna come? You could always keep mom company." Kim said and grinned.
They looked at the now humming woman in the kitchen cleaning up and looked with each other. The shook their heads and ran up to the girls. "No way am I staying here with her." Duo said.
"Mom I'm taking the van!" Kim shouted and ran out of the door before she could object.
"Um...Kim's driving?" Duo asked surprised.
"And why wouldn't I?" Kim asked a bit offended. " I've had my license for over a year now!!!"
" Ah just ignore him and get moving!" Ashley said and smacked Duo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they got back to her house, Kim noticed that her father's shoes were tosses carelessly in the corner.
"Damn it!"
She ran downstairs to the basement. Her dad sat on the futon and played with his surround sound system.
"Dad!!! You're suppose to be working!" she practically shouted.
"Surprised?" he asked smiling.
"Yah." she replied.
Everyone heard her yelling and went down stairs to see what was going on.
Ken's ( her father) eyes narrowed as he looked from boy to boy.
"This otta be good." Steph said and chuckled.
"You know it's too bad that Trowa couldn't be here. What exactly did he have to do anyway?"
