Eli: Hey all! Chaosti, this time I must ignore you. Sorry, but I think you
can think for yourself what happened in there, heh heh heh. Mako-chan wolf,
I agree, they are the meanest people in the world. X, when's the next
chapter to your story coming? Thanks to everyone for the reviews. Here's
the next chapter, Enjoy!
Bethany looked around the schoolyard for Dominic and sighed. Why couldn't he ever just stay in sight? She went over to the wall and scaled up to get to the roof. As she expected, she found him there, sitting near the edge out of view.
"Don't you ever get tired of sitting up here?" She asked him. He turned his head to look at her.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I.... Because I think it is better than being down there." He told her. Bethany sighed again. Dominic wasn't good in large groups. He could barely stand being in class, let alone a whole schoolyard full of kids. She sat down next to him.
"Don't worry, one day you'll get use to them." She told him. "My daddy wants you to know that we have no training today."
Dominic frowned. No matter how hard it got, he loved training. "How come?"
She smirked. "It's a secret. I'm gonna go play wall ball. Wanna come? We'll play away from the other kids."
He shrugged. "Sure."
-After school-
Bethany, Jamie, and Gracie entered the apartment nosily. Ever since Sara had gone back to work, they had been able to be as loud as they wanted and didn't have to worry about her getting a headache from it. They sat down in the living room and turned on their game cube. They all started playing 'Super Smash Brother Melee'.
"Bethany, Jamie, go change your clothes." Ian told them. They paused their match and scowled.
"How come?" Jamie asked.
"Because someone is coming to the house to see you two and I want you two to look decent for the occasion." He told them.
"How come Gracie doesn't have to get changed?" Bethany complained as she started walking to her room.
"Because she doesn't have dirt and mud all over her clothes. How did you two get so dirty, anyway?"
They both grinned. "Mud fight!" They both answered. Ian rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Go get cleaned up." And they went off to their rooms.
-Later-
The kids were taking turns playing video games when they heard the doorbell ring. "Daddy!" Bethany called out. "Someone's at the door!"
"Can you get it for me, sweetie? I'm in the middle of changing Andrew."
"Okay!" She yelled back. She paused the game and handed her controller to Gracie. "Don't make me loose." She told her before she ran up to the door. The person rang the doorbell again.
"Who is it?" Bethany asked loudly.
"A black dragon." She heard in a low voice. Bethany tilted her head.
"Daddy, there's a black dragon at the door! Can we let him in?" She asked. She heard him laugh.
"Go ahead."
Bethany opened the door and smiled. "Uncle Moby!!!" She said happily.
He nodded at her. "Hello, little one." She smiled and went over and hugged him. He looked down at her in confusion. He began to walk in, and was surprised when she wouldn't let go. He shut the door behind him and went into the living room, Bethany still attached.
Jamie and Gracie turned around to see who had come. They both looked up a long distance to get a good look at him. Gracie fell over where she stood trying to look up at him.
Ian came into the living room, Andrew with him. "Hello Hector. It is good to see you again." He said, trying not to laugh at the sight of his little girl hugging the all-powerful black dragon.
"Hello Ian. Would you mind telling me why it," He motioned at Bethany. "Doesn't seem to want to let go."
"Probably because you have not hugged her yet." He said calmly.
Bethany knew Moby was highly uncomfortable. She thought it was funny, so she motioned to Gracie to join her. Gracie looked from Bethany to Moby and back. She smiled wickedly and ran over and hugged him on the other side.
This time, Ian couldn't hold back the laughter. He had seen Mobius take on whole armies and not even break a sweat. Now these two little girls were making him freak out as if a nuclear holocaust was coming. Moby had his arms out to the sides, trying not to touch wither little girl.
"Now this one is clinging to me. I do not even know her! Ian, I do not see how this is humorous, so stop laughing and get them off." He demanded.
After a few seconds more of laughing, Ian finally called the girls off of him. He sat down on the couch, Bethany sitting next to him. Jamie moved over to the other side of the room. He didn't remember having an Uncle Moby.
Ian went behind Jamie and pushed him up a little. Jamie looked over at Moby. "Hello, who are you?" He asked.
Bethany sighed. "It's Uncle Moby, remember?"
"No." He said quickly.
"Jamie, this is your Uncle Moby. You have not seen him since you were three, but you did meet him before. Moby, this is Jamie, in case you have forgotten. The elder one is Bethany, the little blonde one is my friend's daughter, Gracie, and this little one is Andrew." Ian said, trying to make everything clear to everyone. Mobius nodded at the information and looked carefully at Andrew.
"This new one looks like you." He said quietly. Ian nodded.
"That's what everyone says."
Bethany tapped Moby on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at her. "Uncle Moby, I'm happy you cam to visit again. You haven't come in a long, long time. I was five last time you came, and now I'm eight. That means you haven't come in three years! That's a long time. How come you didn't come? Jamie forgot who you were because you didn't come? Where have you been? Do you have kids yet? Daddy says you don't have kids because you consider them evil. Do you think I'm evil, cause if you do, I think you might be right because mommy and Uncle Gabriel call me that all the time. Can evil people be good? Are you evil too? Are you listening?" She asked him. Mobius didn't answer, but looked her over carefully. He then turned to Ian.
"Ian, how is it possible that someone who seems to take after you so much have such a big mouth?" He asked curiously.
Bethany scowled. "I don't have a big mouth. That's mean, Uncle Moby!"
Ian shrugged. "She has her mother's mouth." He smirked as Bethany punched Moby's shoulder for his insult. "And her temper. Bethany, apologize for hitting him and don't you dare attempt doing that again, young lady."
"Sorry Uncle Moby." She said quietly. He nodded. She had shocked him when he found that her punch stung.
Jamie moved closer to Mobius and studied him. He gasped when he saw his arm. "Hey, you have a tattoo like Daddy's!" He exclaimed.
"Yes, our whole unit had the same tattoo put on our second year in the project." He told him. Jamie nodded.
"Hey!" Gracie called out from the floor. She pulled on Moby's pant leg to look down at her. "Wanna play video games?" She asked him. He had no time to answer. She shoved the extra controller into his hands and they were playing versus each other. Moby fumbled with the controller, having no time to get use to it. In two minutes, the screen lit up announcing Gracie as the winner.
The kids all laughed as Moby scowled. He looked at Ian and shook his head. "Only the insane have children. It is no wonder you are well qualified." He said seriously. Jamie and Gracie laughed as Bethany frowned.
"My Daddy's not insane. He teaches me how to fight!" She declared. "And he's teaching Dominic, too."
"What has he taught you?" Moby asked curiously.
"Lots and lots of stuff." She said happily. She turned to Ian. "Can I show him?" She asked. He nodded. She turned to Moby. "What do you want me to do?"
He started giving her a series of attacks to perform, which she did perfectly. She had to stop when she knocked over a chair. Moby nodded. "You're quite good for one so young. you must be trained very hard." He looked over at Ian. "It makes one wonder why someone would put their own flesh and blood to such training."
Ian looked at him seriously and replied. "Just as one might wonder how one managed to escape from under a boulder that should have crushed his organs."
Moby smirked at Ian's secrecy. "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you know lies."
"Exactly." Ian agreed. The kids looked among themselves and shrugged their shoulders. Adults were so weird!
-Later-
Moby left a short while later. Ian looked at Bethany and Jamie seriously. "Now, when Mommy comes home and asks what we have done all afternoon, what do you say?"
"We played video games and did our homework." They answered.
"And what do you not say?"
"That Uncle Moby came over for a visit."
"And why is that?"
"Because Mommy doesn't like people she thinks are psychos near her children."
He smiled. "Good." They heard the door unlock and got ready to give Sara their fake story. Sara came into the living room with Vicky. Bethany and Jamie gave her hugs before she went over and took Andrew from Ian.
"Hey guys. What did you guys do all afternoon?" She asked as she sat down on the couch with Andrew.
"We did our homework." Said Jamie.
"And played video games." Added Bethany. Sara nodded.
Vicky had picked up Gracie and hugged her. "And what did you do, baby?"
"I beat a black dragon at video games!" She answered happily.
"You beat Uncle Ian at video games?" Vicky asked, smiling. Gracie shook her head.
"No, I beat the other black dragon, Mobius!" She answered cheerfully. Vicky and Sara looked at her shocked. Bethany and Jamie glanced at each other and winced.
"What?!" Both mother's asked at the same time.
"I beat Mobius at video games!" Gracie repeated. "What's wrong?"
Sara and Vicky both turned to Ian. Sara tilted her head in anger. "Moby was here?" She asked quietly. He nodded.
Vicky put Gracie down and went up to him. "He was here while Gracie was here?" she asked quietly, trying to keep her temper. He nodded again. "Ian?" Vicky motioned for him to lean forward so that he would be at her eye level. Without warning, Vicky slapped him hard across the face. "Don't you ever put my child near a psycho serial killer again!" She said seriously.
"Yes, Vicky." He assured her. She took some deep breaths and tried to calm down. Jamie, Bethany, and Gracie all looked at her shocked.
Once she had calmed down, she looked at him again. "Sorry I slapped you, but I hope at I got my point across." He nodded. She took Gracie's hand and looked at Sara. "I'll see you tomorrow." Sara nodded and Vicky left.
She handed Andrew to Bethany. "Sweetie, why don't you and Jamie go play with Andrew in his room for a while?" Bethany nodded, knowing all to well not to fight with her mother when she was like this.
As soon as the kids were out of the room, hell broke loose. "How the hell could you bring him here? He's insane! He tried to kill us last time, if you can't quite remember! What is wrong with you?"
"First off, he is not insane. Secondly, he only tried to kill you because he was commissioned to, and he only tried to kill me when I challenged him. Third, you might as well know he has come to see the children before. He came today to see Andrew." He said honestly.
Sara shook her head. "Why the hell didn't you tell me he was alive, let alone comes for visits?!"
"Because I knew you would react like this." He answered simply. Sara went on and on and he let her get all her anger out at him before he continued to explain.
-Meanwhile-
Bethany and Jamie kept in Andrew's room till they heard the yelling stop. Bethany put him in his swing for a moment as she and Jamie crept outside to make sure Mommy hadn't cut Daddy down with the witchblade. They were relieved to see them, both fully intact, standing in the living room. Daddy was saying something quietly to Mommy that seemed to calm her down.
She nodded her head and they saw their parents hug, Jamie and Beth sighed, glad that the fight was over. Sara pulled away from him and sighed.
"I hope you don't expect to sleep in a bed tonight."
