Disclaimer: Same as always!
I confess I´m guilty!
Some parts in this chapter may seem familiar to you and I confess that I shamelessly stole from "Addam´s family" and "My big fat greek wedding", both wonderful movies! If you haven´t seen them yet, go and get them!!
However, the temptation was too great…
But read for yourself!
PS: all reviews submitted on the first and second of august seem to be lost…I wasn´t able to read them and therefore I apologize if I don´t respond to any question asked in them!

Two days later, on an airport somewhere in Germany…
"Here we are!" Felice beamed as they as they descended the gangway.
"Welcome to my home country!"
She was relieved, in fact very relieved that they had left the whole disaster behind them.
If only for a while.

*Flashback*
Felice was busy packing her suitcase.
The Twins were out in town to buy some last things they needed for the journey.
Just as she had her hands full of bras to decide which ones she would take with her, the doorbell rang.
Cursing under her breath, she went to the door still having some bras hanging over her lower left arm.
She opened the door and sighed inwardly.
Great!
Just great!
Standing in front of her door was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.
It was Tom, of course.
He smiled his best boy group smile and offered her a big bunch of flowers.
Tulips.
Her favourite. How did he know that?
"Oh hi Tom, what are you doing here?"She asked suspiciously.
"I was in the neighbourhood by chance. Then I remembered that I always wanted to visit you and tadaah!! Here I am!"
He lowered his head till he was eye to eye with her.
"Are you feeling better now? You left in a pretty hurry yesterday!"
Felice noticed old Mrs Wilson peeking through her door.
"Well, come in! But I really don't have any time at the moment!" she mentioned for him to get inside.
He stepped in and she closed the door.
"So this is your noble home? Pretty, really. Almost cosy!" he grinned.
Then he gave the flowers to her.
"Did I interrupt you at something special?" he winked and pointed at the bras on her arm.
Felice blushed.
Damn!
Hastily she threw them into the opened bedroom and closed the door.
"I was just packing my suitcase as you arrived. We're leaving tomorrow!"
"We?" he asked innocently.
Bastard!
"Yes, my husband and I."
They reached the living room.
"Is he there? I'm curious to meet him!" Tom said eagerly and eyed his surroundings as if Felices husband hid behind the plants.
"No he isn't. He went shopping this morning."
Tom raised an eyebrow in faked surprise.
She put the flowers into a vase and desperately thought about a way to get rid of him before the Twins returned.
If they reacted as overly jealous as he merely shook her hand in the public, what would they do if they spotted them inside their own house?
She didn't want to know!
"What about lunch?" he asked now.
"I know a wonderful small Italian restaurant just two streets away!" There was the boy group smile again.
"Thank you, but I'm really very busy right now!" she said.
"Are you sure? They make delicious lasagne!" he tried to persuade her.
"As I said I'm-
Felice stopped mid-speaking as she heard the sound of a key unlocking the front door.
Oh shit!
The Twins had returned.
"What's up?" Tom asked puzzled.
"That's my husband! Quick!" Felice grabbed his shoulder hard and yanked Tom into the bedroom where she looked for a place to hide.
His eyes grew big at the sight of her king-sized futon bed, adorned with big silver and black silk cushions (their first investment after the Twins had moved in)
"But Felice-
"Shhhh, keep quiet! He mustn't see you!" she hissed and opened her wardrobe.
"Why? I didn't-
"He's extremely jealous and I don't want….ehem…you to be hurt!" she lied and pushed the brown haired man into her wardrobe.
"Stay here until I fetch you! And don't make a sound!"
Tom just grinned excited.
Getting him out of the apartment hadn't been the easiest task…
She had tried to act as usual as she had greeted One and Two but the Twins always had been good observers and, of course, noticed that something was not as it should be. As they finally returned to their different occupations (Two selecting the cooking books he wanted to take with him and One starting a last attempt to build his clothes tree) she smuggled Tom out of the wardrobe into the bathroom and from there out of the window back on the street.
Really excellent!
If he former thought that her husband was just the product of her fantasy then he had now to think that she was married to a criminal abomination…
*End flashback*

"Whoa, now that's what I call a limousine!" One said approvingly as they left the airport and searched the parking garage for the car Felices parents had promised to send them. They had fetched the keys for it at the info point together with a letter from Felices mother which said that dinner would be served at 13.00 and that they better shouldn't be late.
One stowed away their luggage.
Two attempted to open the driver's door.
"No chance, my dear! I'm driving!!" Felice said sternly and snatched the key out of Two's hands.
Two pouted.
"Awww, is poor Twoey not allowed to drive pretty expensive car??" One teased.
Two grumbled under his breath.
Felice pointed with a finger on One´s chest.
"And you'll get onto the backseat!"
Two smirked.
"Is the car not a little big for just three persons?" Two asked curiously as they drove through the woods.
"Well, it's not exactly for three persons….it's for seven!" Felice stammered, eyes fixed on the street in front of them.
"Seven?" Two and One asked at exactly the same moment.
Felice ducked over the steering wheel.
Two furrowed his brow.
"Do we have to pick up some more guests? Who?" he asked.
"Yes, who?" One asked from the backseat.
"Oh just Neotrinitymorpheusandniobe…"
Silence.
"WHAT???" thundered Two.
"You invited those stinking, mediocre, irritating stupid rebels? Are you sick, wife??"
"I'm glad that you're taking this so easy!" Felice decided to change tactics and smirked.
"How could you?"
"Neo needs help; he badly needs a holiday to get to his senses again! That's why!"
"But, but-
"See it as some sort of a revival! Hey, that's going to be fun! Don't worry!" she beamed.
"We're doomed, I just know it!" One said resigned.

They stopped at a small pay phone in the middle of nowhere and waited.
Punctually at high noon the pay phone started shaking and rumbling. Then the door sprang open and a small cloud of grey fog emerged.
Very dramatic.
Finally, a throng of arms and legs rolled out of it.
A cursing and twitching throng of arms and legs.
"Ouch! Pay attention, will you?!"
"That was my butt, stay away from it!"
"We've got a special offer this week young Miss, an accident insurance!"
"Morpheus, I'm hungry!!"
Felice jumped out of the car and helped Trinity to her feet. Her friend's hair was tousled and her face flushed.
Neo adjusted his mouse grey tie and looked paralyzed.
A high pregnant Niobe with an immense big baby belly tapped her foot impatiently on the ground and looked at a stressed looking Morpheus who carried two suitcases, a beauty box, a straw hat with a big red bow on it and an umbrella. Sweat trickled down his nose.
Felice who had embraced Trinity, let go off her and greeted Morpheus and Niobe.
"Felice, we're very gratefully for this generous invitation! The doctor said that Niobe needs fresh air now!" Morpheus said.
"The pregnancy made her that moody that they were about to throw her out as your offer came!" Trinity whispered in her ear.
"It was possible for her to increase her usually moodiness? Wow, I'm truly impressed!" Felice whispered back and then stepped forward to embrace Niobe.
The Twins finally condescended their selves to get out of the car and watch the scenario out of a safe distance.
"What is she pregnant with? A hippo?" One asked amazed as he eyed her belly.
Two just suppressed a smirk and then stepped forward to greet Neo.
"Ah, if that isn't the Chosen One, dear brother!"
"Nice tie!" One smirked and went to Neo´s left side while Two was standing on his right side.
"Do I know you?" Neo asked dryly.
"Oh come on, Neo! Are you trying to tell us that you don't remember our little adventures?" Two started to get impatient.
"My name is Teo, not Neo! I tried to explain that to these other strangers but they wouldn't listen to me!"
"Leave him alone!" suddenly Trinity stood next to them.
"He's ill!"
**
They needed whole twenty minutes to get them ready to leave.
Well, five minutes to stow the luggage away and fifteen minutes to get a very unmovable Niobe onto the backseat to be exactly.
At 12.30 they arrived at the family mansion.
Felices mother greeted them and suddenly they were surrounded by a very loud and messy cloud of people who embraced and kissed Felice on the cheeks.
Two tried to make out single faces in the crowd.
There were older women and a whole bunch of younger men and women, part of them with the familiar black hair and pale complexion he knew from Felice and her mother and the other part with light blonde locks and sky blue eyes. That had to be her cousins then, he mused.
The crowd got silent and the attention suddenly moved from Felice to the Twins as her mother introduced them as her husbands.
"Oh no!" Two managed to groan and shot his equally shocked Twin a terrified glance.
Then the wave of flesh hit them with blunt force.
"Oh what handsome men!"
"Welcome, welcome!!"
"And I said to Uncle Jens that no one ever believed that she would marry! No one!!"
"Just like her mother; why be satisfied with one if you can have two for the same price?"
Two tried to bear the torture and at the same time to suppress the urge to run amok and kill everybody in reach.
He had lipstick on his cheeks.
Someone roughly tucked at his dreadlocks.
Strange people embraced him and held him tight.
Then someone poked him in the ass.
He whirled around, expecting to see one of the younger women who had fluttered their eye lashes at him and One.
Instead he looked straight into the eyes of an ancient wrinkly little woman who grinned at him mischievously and uncovered a toothless mouth.
Holy shit!
Just as he thought that he couldn't stand it any longer, Felice pushed herself through the crowd, hissing something in German he couldn't quite understand and shooed the people away from them.
"Grandma!" she hissed at the old woman in her wheelchair.
"How could you! What shall grandpa think of you if he hears about that?"
"Grandma" just snickered and rolled away.
Some minutes later, they found themselves in an exquisite suite all held in dark red, unpacking their suitcases.
Felice had been dragged away from some giggling female cousins and One had announced that he needed a shower.
Badly.
He felt sticky from all the grabbing and poking and kissing.
Just as Two opened his suitcase there was a knock on the door.
Silently cursing, he opened the door.
It was the ice queen, Felices mother.
"Are you comfortable with your rooms?" she asked and floated in.
"Yes, they´re exquisite!" Two said.
"I normally would have given you the white suite but we´re going to have another wedding here in a few days.."
She spotted the open suitcase on the bed.
"You are unpacking? Let me help!" she said.
Two suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"This really isn't necessary!" Two said but it was already too late.
"A snap blade?" she said.
Two grabbed it out of her hands and threw the offending item into a nearby chest of drawers.
"A grenade?"
Now sweat trickled down his temples. He snatched the grenade out of her hands.
"A machine gun?" Felices mother asked puzzled and looked at him, holding the heavy gun in a manicured hand.
Two held his breath.
Then she smirked at him.
"Really Two, we do have enough of those at home! No need to bring your own!" she smiled and gave the gun to him.
He took it with a confused smile.
"Lunch will be served in fifteen minutes, don't be late!" she whispered and left the room.
Two let himself sink onto the mattress.
Now that had been a surprise.
He reached for a fresh shirt and stopped in the middle of his movement
How the hell did she know to tell them apart?
**
What is Neo´s mysterious illness?
Has Morpheus turned into a henpecked husband?
When will we see Felice and Trinity in dirndls?
Will grandma poke Two in the ass again?
And will we eventually see the Twins in Lederhosen *shudder* ?
Review, then I write more!!
