Eli: Hey all! Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry it took so long. Been real
busy with some stuff I had been delaying for too long. Only ONE chapter
left after this! Superherogirlcat, there are always villains around, but no
more Kenny. I think I will leave the resurrection to the comic. Here's the
next chapter, Enjoy!
Dominic was leaning against the wall of the school as he waited for Lily to pick him up. She was late, but he didn't mind. He was getting use to her being late. Ever since her dad had come back, she had to dodge him trying to talk to her. He wished Lily's dad would just go back from wherever he came from.
Or that he could get permission from his dad to chase Lily's dad away with one of his swords.
Lily finally pulled up her car near the entrance and honked to get his attention. 'Uh oh, she honked. That means she is in a bad mood. I hope she doesn't mind that she has to drive me to Nicky and Chris's house.' He thought to himself as he ran over and quickly got into the car. Lily nodded to him for a greeting as she took off immediately, barely giving him time to buckle his seat belt.
"Lily, are you okay?" He asked quietly.
She nodded. "I'll be fine, half pint. I... Just need to see someone later today. Uncle Stefan told me you have a play date or such at one of your friend's houses. I'm gonna drop you off there, and I'm gonna pick you up at seven, okay?" She asked him.
He nodded. "Okay. Did he tell you where the house is?"
"No, but he said you did." She said. "So lead the way."
Dominic began to give her directions to the twin's house. Her bad mood was kept in check, and was only revealed if she got frustrated with him for not being sure which way to go. But he did notice that the closer they got, the more Lily made this strange face and shook her head.
When he they finally reached the block they were on, he pointed out which house to go to. Lily parked out in front of it and stared at the house in confusion. Dominic looked at her and shrugged. "What?"
"Um, Dom. Which of your friend's house is this?" She asked him, not taking her eyes from the house.
"Chris and Nicky's." He answered. "Why?"
"What's their last name?"
"Um, Woo. Why?" He asked, totally confused now. Lily's jaw dropped and she shook her head. "Lily, is something wrong?"
"No, no. Nothing's wrong." She told him as she unlocked the doors. "You know, I think I will go in with you." She said as she opened her door and got out.
Seeing how pleased she seemed now compared to how she was when she had picked him up, he just shrugged his shoulders and went with. "Oh, okay."
They went up to the house and Dominic knocked on the door. They heard a big crash, followed by glass breaking. "Dam- Dang it, Nicky, I told you not to run down the fu-friggin' stairs! Are you all right?" They heard being shouted in the hallway.
"I'm okay." Nicky yelled out.
Luke sighed, shaking his head as he went to go answer the door. He opened it and almost shot back from shock. "Lily? What are you doing here?" He asked, clearly startled.
She smirked. "Your brothers and my cousin evidently have a play date." She said as she looked down at Dominic. Luke glanced at him, and smirked as well. Dominic looked between the two; all most giving himself whip lash from turning so fast. He had no clue as to what was going on. Before he could figure it out, Nicky came limping over with Chris and they pulled him into the house and into the Living room, where they had all their video games set up. He glanced back at them once: They were just standing at the door watching the boys go off. Then, he turned toward the video games that awaited him.
-Later-
They had been playing video games for over three hours. Dominic's eyes were really starting to sting from staring at the screen for so long. They had gone through all most all of the video games the twins owned, from Army Men: Green Rogue to Legend of Zelda: Final Quest to Zapper.
Currently, they were playing Tekken 10. Dominic was playing versus Chris as they were extremely close to the end of the match. Their hands flew over the controllers as they both struggled to pull off the most damaging combos. Chris was on the floor with a lollypop in his mouth, a few centimeters away from falling out. Dominic was leaning over the edge of the couch, his elbows going numb from not moving.
Finally, Chris pulled an ultimate 35 hit combo at Dominic's character, taking away what was left in his life bar. Chris yelled out in triumph as his lollypop hit the floor. Dom scowled. "Man, I almost had you!"
"Yeah, right." Chris replied as he watched Dom pass his controller over to Nicky. He got off the couch and stretched. He blinked his eyes, trying to get his sore eyes some liquid on them.
"I'm gonna get a soda." He told them as he took off for the kitchen. They both nodded to whatever he said, their attention directed at the television. He went down the hall into the kitchen and dug through the refrigerator for some Mountain Dew. As he grabbed the last can from the back, he heard squeaking and banging coming from above him. He looked up at the ceiling and stared. The noise was getting louder and it sounded like things were breaking.
Dominic went back into the living room. "Hey, guys?"
Just then, Nicky got defeated. He threw the controller down as Chris stuck his tongue out at him. Nicky threw the bag of M&M's at him.
"Guys?!"
The bag hit Chris's chest and he looked at Nicky with revenge. He threw the bag back as Nicky laughed at him. It hit Nicky on top of the head. He scowled and picked up the scatter M&M's and started trying to peg Chris with them. Chris ducked behind the couch and started trying to peg Nicky with Brite Crawler eggs.
Dominic got caught in the cross fire and started seeing red. "WILL BOTH OF YOU KNOCK IT OFF?!" He yelled out.
The twins put down their ammo and looked at him as if he was insane. "All right, all right. Don't make us go deaf now, Dom." Nicky told him as he dropped the M&M's to the ground.
"I heard something going on up stairs. Someone could have broken in." He told them seriously.
Nicky and Chris's faces fell as Chris shut off the TV. Their eyes all went wide as they turned toward the stairs and heard all the commotion. "Where's it coming from?" Chris whispered.
"I heard it above the kitchen." Dominic whispered back. Both of the twins sighed out of relief.
Nicky looked and Dom and glared. "Man, you almost gave me a heart attack."
"That's Luke's room. Don't mind it." Chris told him as he went to turn the Television back on to resume their game. Dominic stopped him.
"No, wait." He told him as he listened to the noise going on upstairs. He went very serious again. "There is someone else upstairs with him." He whispered. "Did your sister come home yet?"
"Nu uh." Chris said as they stared at the stairs. "Let's go see what's going on." He said as he started heading toward the stairs, Nicky right behind him.
"Wait, we don't know if the other person has a weapon or anything!" Dominic hissed at them. They stopped and thought about it. Nicky looked over at him.
"Well. You're a super ninja boy. You can just kick the guy's butt if he broke in." He explained as they started for the stairs again before Dom could disagree. He sighed and followed them up the stairs.
They quietly tip toed over to Luke's room and stood outside. They could hear squeaking and human grunting. Then, they heard silence.
"Oh no, the person got him!" Chris whispered out. Nicky scowled angrily. Before Chris and Dominic could stop him, he barged into the room.
"I'm gonna kick your.. " He stopped talking as his mouth just hung open. Dominic and Chris looked in and stared at the sight.
Luke was sitting on his computer chair. With a girl in his lap!
Dominic blinked and shook his head as the girl looked behind her and almost jumped off Luke from shock. The two teenagers shrank back from each other as Luke backed away in his computer chair and the girl scooted away from him on the floor. Dom looked at her in confusion.
"Lily?"
She smiled and waved. "Hey, Dom. What are you up to?" She asked sweetly as she held back the urge to just strangle him for yet again barging in on her privacy. He didn't answer her. Neither did Chris when Luke asked him the same thing.
Nicky looked at them with disgust. "EW!! You guys were kissing!" He accused. All three boys started making throw up sounds.
"Hey guys, knock it off." Luke ordered them.
Nicky looked at him and smirked. "Luke and Lily, sitting in a tree." He started as he glanced at his partners in crime.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" The three boys finished together.
The teenagers sighed and had the boys sit together on the bed. After about ten minutes of kissing comments, the boys finally shut their mouths to listen to their brother/cousin.
"Okay, for those of you who have not figured it out for yourselves, Lily is my girlfriend." Luke started out.
Chris stood up and pointed at him. "I knew it!" He said hotly.
Luke looked at him, bemused. "You did?"
Chris shook his head. "Nah, I just wanted to say that." He said as he sat back down and held in his laughter along with the other two boys.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Anyway, we're dating, you guys can't tell anyone! You got that?" He asked them seriously. "Not a soul!"
"Why?" Nicky asked.
"Because, we could get into some trouble for it." He told them, exasperated.
He turned to Lily and she took over talking. "There are some kids at school that were giving us some problems when we started dating. It was annoying, mean, and just hateful. It got so bad that we had to fake a break up in the middle of the lunch."
"What's their problem?" Dominic asked her.
She shook her head. "Oh, they're dumb asses, pardon my language. They believe that since I'm white, and Luke is Asian, that we shouldn't be dating. They're a modern day equivalent to Nazi's." She informed them. "Geez, you'd think people would learn from history." She hissed out.
Luke got up off his chair and stood behind her, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Hey, it's all right." He looked over at the boys. "So, you guys can't tell anyone. ANY ONE! All right?"
The boys nodded. "Good." Lily said as she looked at a nearby clock. "Damn, it's pass seven. Half pint, we have to get home." She said.
They all went downstairs as Lily and Dominic got their stuff and got ready to leave. Just as Lily kissed Luke good-bye, the sound of the front door getting unlocked filled the hallway. They jumped apart as Lily grabbed Dominic's arm and started heading toward the door.
As Danny and Lee came in, she smiled pleasantly and made quick chit chat about thanking them for letting Dom come over and play. She was sure they were in the clear.
But, just before the door closed behind her, she heard one of the twins ask "So, is Lily the one that gave you the purple marks on your neck, Luke?"
Lily increased the speed of her walking as she practically dragged Dominic back to the car.
