Chapter 15

April 25th 2003 Toronto, Canada

"I just don't understand, he's lost his memory or at least it seems that he cant remember clearly but yet he still hasn't got the urge to rip our heads off or anything, it doesn't make sense" KK says sitting down at the kitchen table and chewing the end of the pencil "We know they gave him the vaccine to drain him of his memory and powers and turn him bad right?"

"Right" Duke says snatching the pencil from his and scribbling something down on the little post it note of paper.

"We've already got loads of magic stars, they're in the cupboard" KK says pointing to where they are and scribbling out magic stars on the shopping list "So if that is what they gave him, and we're pretty sure they did then how come he's not gone evil and tried to kill us yet"

"Just be pleased he hasn't, don't start saying things like that. You never know it might come true then you'll be sorry" Kidd laughs pulling the carton of milk out of the fridge and bringing it up to his nose to smell it, he pulls a face and holds it away at arms length "We need milk too" he says holding his nose "This stuff has gone off, someone must have left it out after they used it yesterday" Kidd looks at Duke.

"Hey it wasn't me, I don't even like milk" Duke laughs pulling a new box of magic stars out of the cupboard, ripping open the packet and taking a handful of the candy covered cereal and stuffing it into his mouth. "I Lub thups smutf"

"Yeah we can tell, that's the fifth box you've eaten this week Duke!" Kidd says taking the box from him and taking a handful himself, he pops it into his mouth and swallows it "Eugh it's disgusting, it doesn't taste of anything but colourings and sugar!" He says putting the rest of his handful in the bin.

"I know, that's why I love it!" Duke says sitting down on the couch with his feet up on the coffee table, he flicks the TV on and sits watching it while eating the box of cereal. "Good morning Christopher.." Duke chimes, almost singing it as Chris walks in the room "Sleep well last night?"

"Yeah fine.." Chris replies looking at Duke and shaking his head "Strange.." Chris mutters walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the table. "I don't think you should let him eat that stuff, it makes him act all strange and call my Christopher and look at me funny" Chris says rubbing the sleepy-dust out of his eyes.

"So Chris, how exactly did you manage to start off on the couch and make your way to the bedroom and be draped all over Steph? Do tell.." Kidd laughs, Duke hears this and looks over the back of the couch at them, he jumps over the back and pulls up a chair at the kitchen table too "We're all dying to know here, c'mon what happened?" KK gets up and goes to get them some drinks.

"Nothing, nothing happened" Chris says getting up from the table, Duke grabs his shoulder and pushes him back into the chair "I swear, nothing happened" Chris protests putting his hands up.

"Yeah ok so nothing happened but still, you guys are getting pretty close. C'mon spill it; we want to know every single detail of what happened..We know you say nothing..As in 'nothing' happened but just fill us in on this nothing-ness that happened!" Duke says scratching his head starting to confuse himself.

"We were just talking.." Chris mumbles starting to blush making Kidd and Duke look at each other and then back at him urging him to continue "She kissed me.." Chris continues putting his head down on the table as Kidd and Duke start wolf whistling and banging the table "It wasn't anything though, it was just friendly. It was just a friendly type of kiss that's all" Chris says smiling to himself.

"Morning guys" Stephanie says walking over to them "Morning Chris.." Steph smiles at him and leans down and kisses him hard on the mouth making the others stare in shock "So what's for breakfast then?" Steph asks sitting on Chris's lap and putting her arms around his neck, he sits there smiling at the others.

"Wasn't Chris breakfast enough for you?" Kidd laughs nudging Duke in the arm trying to get him to laugh too, Duke just shakes his head and goes back to eating his magic stars.

"No, I had Chris last night" Steph grins at Kidd and pokes her tongue out at him.

"Aha! I knew it; I knew there was something going on with you two! Chris got it on! Yeah I'm good, I was so right and he was sitting her denying that anything ever happened between you two last night! I knew it!" Duke laughs jumping up and pointing at Chris "I knew it!"

"Not like that you idiot!" Steph laughs "Anyway have you lot been pestering my Chris?" Stephanie asks looking at the three of them, Kidd sinks down in his chair and smiles innocently at her "I should hope not" she says playing with Chris's hair.

"Would we ever?" KK says bringing over a tray of mugs "We never pester Chris about anything, especially about anything that happened between you two last night" KK adds sitting down at the table again.

"Nothing happened!" Chris laughs looking at Steph..
