extra special-ness longer than-ever CHAPTER!!!!!!
Chapter 6
The four teens walked silently up to the house, where the homemade smell of fresh waffles drifted out to the group. As they were coming upon the door, Alyx said quietly, " Shhhh.my parents mustn't know that you are here yet! Do any of you have a watch?" they all moved their heads from left to right, motioning for NO.
" Ok then.here, Ron, you take mine, and wait for approximately 7 minutes after I get inside the house alright?"
" Yeah. 7 minutes.right.but ahh.How-" Harry jabbed him in the ribs and Hermione kicked him in the shin. " Never mind."
She looked at them suspiciously for a second, having noticed Harry's elbow embed itself into Ron's chest, then returned to her usual cheerful self, and smiled that rare smile again (at Ron mostly.) and pivoted towards the door.
The trio, now alone, waited silently for the following 7 minutes. The only sound that could be heard by them was the ticking of the watch, the slight breeze, and the early morning birds.
" Well, its been 7 minutes I think.but then again, I don't really know how to use this 2 handed thing. its much easier w/ 12." Ron said turning the wristwatch upside-down.
" Give it here Ron!" Hermione said taking the watch out of his hands. " It's been 15! Gees! Alyx's probably wondering what happened to us! Come on!" Hermione urgently whispered.
The three some hurried up the steps, and knocked. They heard shuffling and Alyx's voice calling " I'll get it!" before the door suddenly opened. Alyx called to her parents, " hey mom, dad! Come meet my new friends!"
" Be right there Alyx!" her parent's friendly voice came down the hallway.
A few seconds later her parents friendly faces appeared from around the corner. Her dad, had a smile like Alyx's, and her mom had Alyx's hair, but Alexis's face. (Alexis had her dad's hair)
" Hello, and are you going to introduce us Alyx?" they smiled down upon them all.
" Ah, sure, mom. This is Hermione, Harry, and Ron, and they just moved here. But their parents have gone on vacation. Could they stay with us till their parents come back?"
" Let me talk w/ your father about that, go into the kitchen and get some breakfast, we made waffles this morning. Alyx, go help them get situated. We'll be in the living room." Alyx's mother said in a smiley tone.
The parents left the hallway, and entered a side door, while Alyx led them further down the corridor to the kitchen/ dinning room. She directed them each to a wooden chair that surrounded the scrubbed wooden table. She placed a clean tablecloth over the table, and scooped some fresh batter into the waffle iron, and set the table. She put out maple syrup, plates, butter, silverware, glasses of orange juice, and some powdered sugar.
" What's that for Alyx?" Harry asked curiously.
"Oh, what? The sugar? Oh you haven't had sugar on your waffles before? You'll love it. Here, who wants the first one?"
Obviously Ron did, so she flipped it onto his plate, and asked him if he took butter or syrup. Ron, this question having come upon him suddenly, just leaned back, and blushed while Alyx buttered and sprinkled a little bit of sugar on it. " Here, try this. Its good." And she smiled at him again.
Ron, having barely recovered from the shock, of having a girl, much less a girl he barley knows, cut and butter his waffles for him. His mother didn't even do that for him. So after sitting for a couple minutes, glaring at Harry and Hermione snicker as they tried not to choke on their waffles.
" ahhh. Alyx? C-can I ask you something?" Ron said nervously.
" Sure, Ron."
" Well, why did you dress up my waffles for me?" (Harry and Hermione asked to be excused to clear the table.)
"Oh, I'm sorry. I-I -I- well you just look like my brother."
" Your brother?" Ron said puzzled
" Yeah, my brother. I'm really sorry. He was adopted, but he was just our age, and he- he- got killed in a car wreck last year. And you look like an exact replica of him. So I m really sorry that I frightened you."
" What? You cut up his waffles? I'm confused!" Ron said again, confused.
" Oh never mind, and from now on, I will do my best to treat you like a friend not like a brother. Will you forgive me?" Alyx said, with a small tear in her eye.
" Of course." Ron said, letting out a deep breath and glancing triumphantly at Harry and Hermione.
