Mrs. Peel put her fingers in her mouth and gave a loud ear-splitting
whistle. "All right," she ordered. "Everyone in the car. We're going
back to Steed's."
Mr. Peel looked up sharply. "Surely you must be joking," he protested.
"Surely I am not," Mrs. Peel inforemed her husband. "As much as I would like to drive off into the sunset with you, I have a responsibility."
"Your responsibility goes to your husband first," Peter angrily explained.
Esteed could stand it no longer. "Now wait a minute, Mr. Peel! Mrs. Peel has a right to do whatever she wants! This isn't the middle ages! A woman can do whatever she feels like!"
"I knew I liked you for a reason," Mrs. Peel smiled down at Esteed. Cassandra Elise pouted angrily beside her.
**************************************************************************** **********
The convertible screeched to a halt outside Steed's apartment building. Even before anyone had exited the car, Steed rushed out, followed by a very angry Tara King..
"But Steeeeed," she whined, "you were just about to show me a new judo move!"
"Ms. Boom-de-ay," Steed whipped about sternly. "Obviously there is some reason why Mr. & Mrs.Peel have come back, and I wish to hear it!" He turned back just as sharply, a smile brightening his face as he nodded towards Mrs. Peel. His eyes glazed past Peter and focused on Esteed. An enormous groan escaped Steed's handsome lips. "Not you again," he muttered.
"Made a good impression on your last visit," Verena Gruen teased Esteed.
"Shut up," she whispered back. "It was my first visit. I didn't know what I was doing."
"And you do now," Alexis Rockford contested.
"Better than you do," Esteed shot back.
"So," Steed interrupted the furtive whispers, "What are you doing here.again?
"We're here to.uh.ummm," Esteed stalled.
"To get you and Mrs. Peel back together," Cassandra Elise cut in cheerfully.
Alexis Rockford and Verena Gruen simultaneously hit her from either side.
"OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW," she screamed.
Mr. & Mrs. Peel whirled around, seeing Alexis Rockford and Verena Gruen holding a hand over Cassandra Elise's mouth. Esteed looked around nervously.
"So," she interrupted the silence which had fallen.
"I guess we'll be going now," Mrs. Peel replied, almost automatically, still staring at the trio of girls.
Steed rushed forward, "No," he cried. "Wait!"
"Steed!" Tara shrieked, stomping her foot. Steed didn't notice.
"I love you," Steed shouted.
"That's it," Peter Peel had been watching this interlude silently, but this was too much. "This is too much," he yelled, before punching Steed.
"That's it," Alexis Rockford screamed, throwing herself onto the older man. Verena Gruen quickly launched herself onto Peter Peel, tackling him, followed closely by the forgotten Tara.
Mrs. Peel looked at Cassandra Elise and Esteed, and shrugged. "I can't say he didn't deserve it," she confided to the girls. Esteed laughed, but Cassandra Elise was awestruck.
"Well," Alexis Rockford picked herself up, and started dusting her hands. "That is that." Verena Gruen dragged the kicking and screaming Tara off the poor bruised and bleeding man, and wiped the sweat off her brow.
"Whew," she sighed. "Tough work."
AN: I know this chapter sounds a bit kooky. Steed would never shout that he loved Mrs. Peel, but there is a logical explanation..Well.logical in the sense of.Ok. It's not logical.at all.but it makes sense to me! Sorry it's been so long.I had midterms. But I promise, I'll update at least once a week now. Please r/r!
