Warning contains yaoi. If you're not into that sort of thing or even know what that sort of thing is, don't read the fic.
Note: This part takes about 14-15 years after the current Ultimate Muscle continuity . As did the last part.
Note2: If anyone wants to make fan art of the children, I wouldn't mind at all.
The annual Muscle League Valentine's Day party had indeed been interesting.
Terry and Mantaro's secret, tawdry relationship was no longer a secret (though still very tawdry.) Jade and Crione Man had a passionate fight and a passionate make-up. Dead Signal (despite his inorganic state.) got drunk and forced a terrible edition of "I Will Always Love You" on innocent part-goers. Radiance Mask-Flash (daughter of Kevin and Croe Mask-Flash) crashed the part. In fact she was the one who discovered Terry's and Mantaro relationship in the most awkward way possible.
"I would hath never guessed Kevin Mask would settle own and have 5 children…especially with his coach" remarked Checkmate, as Radiance was escorted by her very upset parents. ("Why did you make me come to the place I least wanted to go to?" Kevin was heard to ask.)
"Speaking of children, we really should get back to ours." Added Gazelleman.
"I dearly hopeth the children hath not misbehave for Master Sunshine." Checkmate wished out loud.
On the way to their car, they passed a making out Nomuraman and Ikeman.
Needless to say, they quicken their pace.
"Well, it certainly was an interesting Valentine's Day party" remarked Gazelleman, eyes still wide open.
"Beloved Zelle, I fear that Ikeman and Nomuraman made it just a little too interesting." Replied Checkmate, still trying to get the image out of his head.
Meanwhile, at the happy or at least content Van Dik residence….
"Kudu! Get off the ceiling fan RIGHT NOW!" shouted Sunshine. The aging brick colossus simply did not understand how a little boy could get on the ceiling fan if left alone for only a moment.
"No. No. No. Not gonna get off. I like it here!" replied Kudu, the only son and middle children (6 years old.) He liked hanging from the ceiling fan. It was fun. He didn't understand why everybody didn't hang from the ceiling fan when they got a chance.
Sunshine's stress level rose. This was an evening from hell. Kudu got on a sugar high and there was an unspeakably horrible mess in the kitchen. Climbing on the ceiling fan was the last worst of what Kudu had done. He had bitten Sunshine several times, fed the cat chocolate (the cat had thrown up several times, leaving quite a mess.) he also wrote his name on the walls.
At least Impala and Queenie went straight to bed.
Sunshine was wrong.
Queenie, the youngest Van Dik (4 years old.) was busy making a valentine for her parents. She snuck downstairs and hid under the couch when Sunshine was busy with Kudu. Queenie was making a gluey mess while putting on the pretty sparkly glitter and sequins. She didn't understand why Zelle-papa didn't like messes. Making a mess was fun! She used her big sister Impala's shiny gel pens to write the words. Impala would be mad, but so what? Sisters were supposed to share. They said so on Sesame Street!
Impala (who was currently unaware that her sister had stolen her favorite gel pens.) was videotaping the whole chaotic scene with Sunshine and Kudu.
This would get high ratings on her website, even higher then the time she videotaped "Uncle" Terry and "Uncle" Mantaro making out when they thought she was asleep. Poor dumb Sunshine. Why hadn't he learned that you couldn't make Kudu come from the ceiling fan unless he wanted to.
Checkmate and Sunshine step through the door.
"Papas!" shouted Kudu as he leaped from the ceiling fan into Checkmate's arms.
"Daddies! I made a valentine!" Queenie ran over and hugged Gazelleman, getting glue and glitter all over Gazelleman's favorite suit.
Impala quickly fled to her room before Gazelleman and Checkmate noticed she was still up. She didn't want to get into trouble.
"Look at all the pretty glitter I put on it and I drew a picture of you and Checkmate-Papa and it and I used sequins too!" babbled Queenie.
"That's nice honey, but shouldn't you be in bed by now?" asked Gazelleman, desperately trying to get glue and glitter off his favorite suit with a napkin.
"Master Sunshine, were the kids-?" "Don't even ask!" interrupted Sunshine as he got into banged-up and falling apart car.
Sunshine sped away.
"I hope he visits again!" Kudu chirped cheerfully, while sleepily rubbing his eyes.
