"Phew!" sighed Mo, pushing her long silky brown hair out of her eyes.

"Phew is right."

The three of them got guilty looks on their faces immediately as they turned to face their current nemesis: their Aunt Shani, full name Shanice Rhianna Diablo.

The explosion would take place any time now.

Five..four..three..two..one.

"WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AT ALL HOW WORRIED WE WERE? HOW DARE YOU GO OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!"

"Shani, please calm down and let me ask them what they have to say for themselves," said Shailee Diablo as she walked forward.

"We just."

"Harry!" Shakira Diablo exclaimed.

"We had NO IDEA.." Shani's voice trailed off as she stared at him. Harry could feel himself turning as red as the skin of the lobster-like man who was walking towards them.

The Rowdyruffs sweatdropped and got guilty grins on their faces.

"Uh..hi Dad!"

"Is that all you have to say?" Mr. Diablo asked in a dangerously low voice.

"Um."

"DO-YOU-HAVE-ANY-IDEA-WHAT-TIME-IT-IS?" he yelled, prodding each of his daughters with his claw at each interval. "I AM SURPRISED AT YOU, YOUNG LADY!" he shouted at Des. "YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE YOUR SISTERS DON'T GET INTO ANY MISCHIEF!"

"Oh, come on, Mallie(mahll-lee), you don't have to be so loud! You'll wake up your whole kingdom at this rate!" moaned another red-skinned young man in pajamas, rubbing his green eyes sleepily. In his claw was a large pillow with a silk cover.

"You tell him, Maxie! MALEKIEH DIABLO! I AM ASTOUNDED AT YOUR BEHAVIOUR!" screamed a tall, brown-haired woman (normal!) in a pale blue dressing gown, her glasses slipping down her nose.

"But Kristy."

"GO BACK TO BED THIS INSTANT AND LET ME DEAL WITH THE KIDS!" she shrilled angrily at him.

"Okay, okay," he grumbled, yawning. "I AM too tired from all that yelling anyway."

"Dad isn't usually like that," said Di apologetically.

"He certainly isn't. He's just irritated because he's had a rather difficult time at one part of the day. You guessed it. It was that wretched Marik (thanks a lot Ivygreen!) again," Mrs. Diablo put in.

"Being a king isn't too easy," grinned Maximillian Diablo, usually called Maxie, sleepily.

Harry's eyes went round immediately.

"King?"

"Yup. Dad's the King of Heck, Mum's the Queen.."

"Naturally, I am."

"Yeah Mum. And of course, we're the.." Des trailed off, grinning at Harry.

"Princesses. I know very well you are, since I'm your brother, AND the Prince, soon-to-be-King, of Heck!" said a young man with red skin and claws(I don't need to say this.All males in the Noble and Most Ancient Family of Diablo have these) who had just come in. "Him.you know perfectly well you're not supposed to be out of bed at this hour!" scolded his mother, since their aunts and uncle had already left.

"Did you forget there was a pajama party tonight, Mum?" smirked Him, showing his white teeth in an evil grin.

"Oh no. Here we go again!"
