I am happy to see that people here have been able to maintain an open mind with this kind of story. I give all of you a big thumbs up!
I have, once again, gone back on what I have said. This is the day before the reunion is to begin. Chapter 6 will be the reunion itself.

Chapter 5: A Tough Reunion Beginning
A couple of weeks had gone by. Tommy and Angelica had driven down to Tommy's parent's house for the weekend for the reunion. Both of them yearned to see their friends and at the same time, dreaded to see them again. They were unsure how to break the news to everyone of their relationship, but that was something that would be dealt with them the time came.
Tommy rang the doorbell. He waited and eventually the door opened to reveal a woman. She looked to be around her mid 60s with grey hair and glasses.
"Tommy! Angelica!" Didi greeted as she hugged her son.
"Hey mom! Long time no see." Tommy greeted back as he hugged back.
"Hey Aunt Didi. Is Uncle Stu still trying to invent things?" Angelica asked with a hint of sarcasm as she hugged her aunt.
"Of course he is. I keep telling him to retire but he insists that there is still one successful toy in him." Didi explained.
"Oh, you mean the one that he's been searching for since he started?" Tommy asked rhetorically.
"The same one. Come on in. Your father's dying to see the two of you again." Didi gestured the two followed her in.
"When is Dil getting here?" Tommy asked. He was looking forward to seeing his younger brother again.
"Dil said that he should be here in a few hours. You know that he's really missed the pair of you."
"Yeah, truth be told, I've missed that little alien seeking nerd that is Dil Pickles." Angelica admitted.
Tommy opened the door to the basement and went down. Angelica and Didi followed him.
"Dad! We're here!" Tommy shouted when he got to the bottom of the stairs.
They could see Stu turn his blowtorch off and lift the visor up.
"Hey Champ! Hey Angelica!" Stu walked over and hugged his son and niece.
"Hey Uncle Stu."
"All we need now is for Dil and Angelica's parents to be here then the whole Pickles clan will be reunited." Stu said proudly.
"I take it mom and dad are still working and haven't taken my advice of retiring." Angelica stated matter-of-factly.
"You got it." Stu said.
All 4 of them went into the living room. Stu, Didi and Angelica sat down as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Tommy said as he walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey T! Long time no see buddy!" Phil shouted.
"Phil!" Tommy and Phil hugged like 2 friends that haven't seen each other in decades.
"Hey Tommy." A soft voice came from behind Phil.
Tommy looked around his friend to see Lil smiling at him.
"Lil. It's been too long since we last hung out." Tommy said as he released his hug on Phil and then hugged Lil.
"Too long. It's great to see you again."
"Come in and tell us what has happened since we last talked. Spare no details." Tommy told them as they followed in.
"Oh, mom and dad will be round soon. They said they gotta take care of some things for the reunion first." Lil said.
"Phil and Lil DeVille. How have you 2 gross twins been then?" Angelica asked.
"Fine. I still can't believe that you and Tommy actually put up with each other." Phil joked.
"Well, what can I say? Whenever she insults me I just make a joke about her. We diss each other all the time. We make a good team." Tommy replied smugly.
"Yeah, just like you and Lil. How you 2 put up with each other I'll never know." Angelica laughed.
"Hey, we diss each other even more than you 2 do. We make a better team!" Phil boasted.
"Oh yeah! The 2 of you made such a good team back in the 5th Grade! I mean, Lil totally dumped you Phil! She didn't want to twin with you anymore!" Tommy countered Phil's boasting by reminding him of when Lil got sick of doing everything with Phil and wanted to be her own person.
"Well...yeah...but Angelica always picked on you." Phil tried to protest.
"No, that was Chuckie. Angie only picked on me when something happened to me." Tommy smiled as his friend began to struggle to think of a way of coming back at Tommy.
"That I did." Angelica confirmed.
"You know, I always thought that you picked on Chuckie because you secretly liked him and you were just too scared to admit that you had feelings for him." Lil commented.
"Well, I did think he was fairly cute and he was rather charming. Besides, it was funny to watch his reaction to everything I did to him. I guess I kept picking on him because he kept making it amusing to watch him react. If he didn't then it would have got boring and I would have stopped. That or I would have gone insane." Angelica explained to the 3 of them, laughing slightly at the end.
"Ah, so you still like him then?" Lil asked.
Angelica went rather quiet. Sure, she did like Chuckie but she was with Tommy. How do you answer something like that?
"Er...he's ok." She responded a little nervously.
Lil nudged Phil's shoulder. "Hey hey! Looks like she does!"
Tommy watched Angelica and started to feel guilty.
'I guess she does like him. But she likes me and I like her. I don't know what to do.' He thought.
"Anyway, the Chuckman and the Kimster should be here soon." Phil commented.
"Yeah, so should the Dilmeister." Tommy added.
(NOTE: I know Tommy sometimes refers to Dil as the Dilman, but Dilmeister sounds pretty cool)
....
An hour or so later, Dil arrived shortly followed by Chuckie and Kimi. After a round of hugs and greetings, everyone except Charlotte, Drew and Susie had arrived. Charlotte and Drew wouldn't arrive until the evening when both of them would have finished work while Susie wouldn't be able to arrive until the following day due to work commitments.
Multiple conversations were taking place between the families. Tommy had been able to prise Chuckie away from conversation with his (Chuckie's) parents to lead him into his room.
"What's wrong Tommy?" Chuckie asked. Tommy had told him that he needed to speak to him urgently.
"Well, Chuckie. The thing is that Angelica and I are thinking about telling everyone about our relationship. I mean, we can't hide it forever and sooner of later, someone is gonna find out. I'm torn as I know if we say, we'll hurt so many people, but if we don't say then we won't anyone for the time being." Tommy explained.
"Tommy, if I were you, I would have to think of the others. I mean, if you say that you are having a relationship with your own cousin, then everyone is gonna go crazy. BUT! If you don't say, then when they find out, you'll be frozen out even more. Not only that, but you will hurt the feelings of both Lil and Kimi either way. If you say now, then they can have more of their life to get over it and move on. If you wait, then they will feel even worse. They won't just hate you for having a relationship with Angelica, but they will hate you for being in this relationship so long while they dream about you. They will feel sick for ever falling for you! I know they both have feelings for you as I kind of overheard them talking one night when Phil and Lil were staying over. I think it would be for the best if you said as soon as possible rather than leaving it and hoping that neither of them ever finds out." Chuckie told his friend.
"You really think that they won't wanna kill us when they find out?" Tommy asked. He was worried not just about his safety, but Angelica's as well.
"There is no guarantee about anything. I know Kimi better than anyone and even I don't know what she is capable of! But don't forget that you have my support, and if what you told me is true, you will have Susie's support as well. I'll leave you to think about this Tommy. Take in what I have said and talk it over with Angelica." Chuckie said as he left Tommy's room.
Tommy sat on his bed and sighed. It was time to make a decision, and once it was made, everyone that he and Angelica knew would never be able to think the same of them ever again. There was no turning back. This was a fate that could never be escaped from, a fate that would carve Tommy's future right before his eyes, showing him that his life would get harder.
Tommy knew the easy way out was to end his relationship with Angelica. But what then? He would break her heart and most probably get kicked out of his home. He couldn't abandon her; he loved her too much to just end it. They were in this together and he wanted to continue being with her. Despite only being together a few weeks, he was happy and he knew she was as well. Still, he had to talk it over with her.
