A thanks for the reviews I've received. As I'm currently writing 3 stories
(this one, my other AGU story and a Jimmy Neutron story) I'm rotating them
so I'll be updating one story at a time, chapter by chapter. So for an idea
of when I might update just check to see what story was last updated (I'll
be doing my Jimmy Neutron story after this chapter).

Chapter 6: The Big Secret Revealed
The day of the Reunion was upon Tommy and the others. Tommy remembered the years he had of sleeping in his old bed. The care free days of childhood seemed to be aeons ago. For the first time, he felt half empty. The beautiful blonde woman who was normally next to him when he woke up was not there this time. She was at her parents' house. He missed Angelica. They had talked about their relationship last night and they agreed that today would be the day when they would reveal their relationship to their family and friends. He that this would be one day that no-one would forget...for the wrong reasons.
Tommy got out of bed and wrapped his dressing gown around him before he went to shower. This was gonna be one tough day.
....
Angelica woke up. She felt half empty as she missed waking up with the purple haired and kind man next to her. He was at his parent's house. Oh, how she missed Tommy's warm and comforting hugs. She felt so happy when they were together, it almost seemed like it was a dream that she had always wanted to live and now she had that chance to live it. Still, she was mildly depressed because she knew she was on the verge of making multiple enemies when everyone knew about hers and Tommy's relationship.
It would be a tough day. One which would start of easy and get progressively tougher as the day wore on.
....
A couple of hours had passed and nearly everyone had arrived at the Pickles' residence. The doorbell rang and Tommy opened it.
"Hey Tommy." Susie greeted.
"Hey Susie! Long time no see!" Tommy hugged his friend as she came in.
"Come on, the reunion is underway and that lot are all dying to see you." Tommy told her as he headed in the lounge.
"Wait a minute Tommy. I wanna ask you a quick question." Susie said as she grabbed Tommy's arm.
"What is it?" Tommy asked.
"I just wanna know if you and Angelica are...you know, gonna mention your little secret."
Tommy sighed. "Yeah, we are...you sure your okay with the whole situation?" He asked.
Susie nodded and smiled at him before walking into the living room to be greeted by everyone else.
"Susie!" Angelica called and ran to her best friend and hugged her.
"Hey girl! I see Tommy's made sure you're in peak condition." Susie commented.
"Yeah, if I haven't been to the gym at least once a week he forces me to go." Angelica joked.
....
Hours past. Everyone had been talking about virtually anything and everything with a few classic Phil and Lil arguments thrown in.
"I'd get more than you would Lillian!" Phil said.
"Nuh-huh Philip! I'd get more!"
"Would not!"
"Would to!"
"What are you guys fighting about?" Chuckie asked as he approached the twins.
"Well, Lillian said that she would get more form mom and dad in their will than I would because she's the brains of the family and I said that I'd get more because I'm brawn and more reliable." Phil explained.
Chuckie gave them a weird look before moving away, obviously disturbed by their argument.
Meanwhile Angelica had managed to get Tommy away from Kimi and Dil for a few minutes.
"We gotta tell everyone." She whispered.
"Now?" He asked.
"We can't just keep putting it off. We have to do it as soon as possible!" She snapped.
"Alright, alright. We'll do it now." He responded.
They both took a deep breath and walked up to the back door.
"Erm, could I have everyone's attention?" Tommy called.
Everyone stopped talking and turned to face Tommy.
"What do you think Tommy wants to say?" Phil asked Kimi.
"I dunno but I wonder why Angelica is standing next to him." She replied.
Chuckie and Susie looked at each other and nodded. They made their way to the front of the families to be closer to Tommy and Angelica.
"What is it champ?" Stu asked.
"Well...erm...I...well we...that is Angelica and I have...um...something important to say." Tommy stammered. He was nervous and why shouldn't he be? How do you tell all your friends and family that you are in a relationship with your cousin without hurting anyone?
"What's so important?" Drew had become suspicious of Tommy. He could sense that something was wrong...as could everyone else.
"Well, firstly we just wanna say that we love you all very much and we never intended to hurt anyone but we will when you know." Angelica said.
"That's never a good sign." Betty whispered.
"What's the problem T?" Dil asked.
"Well...over the past couple of weeks, we have been getting...erm...well, gotten a bit...closer...to each other."
"What do you mean?" Stu asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Well..." Tommy stopped. He didn't want to tell them. He didn't want to hurt anyone. Angelica sharply nudged him in his side at his inability to explain.
"We're in a relationship alright!" She shouted.
There was an unnerving silence as everyone (except Chuckie and Susie) stood open mouthed apparently shocked by what they had just heard.
"Uh...excuse me?" Lil asked. "Did I just hear you right?"
"YES FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Angelica shouted.
Simultaneously, Lil and Kimi got a sick feeling in their stomachs and both rushed into the house and up to the bathroom to throw up. They were followed by Chuckie, Susie and Phil who were calling them to come back.
"Well, that's what we wanted to tell everyone." Tommy said as he turned to walk indoors.
He was followed by Angelica who couldn't bear to look at her parents or Tommy's parents. Tommy headed up to his room and sat on his bed. He sighed, he was depressed about having to have told everyone about him and Angelica, but deep down he knew he did the right thing by telling them now and not a couple of years down the road. He rubbed his eyes as he heard his door open. He turned to see Angelica come in and sit next to him.
"I wonder what they are thinking." Tommy said.
"Yeah, but I'm sure they'll want to rip hell out of us later. Your parents are gonna be blaming me for making a move on you and my parents are gonna be blaming you for making a move on me. They won't accept us for years." Angelica told Tommy.
Tommy looked at her and nodded his head.
"I hope Lil and Kimi won't take this too bad. Hopefully they will be able to move on...I just hope we don't lose their friendships in the process."
"I feel for them. They best thing that I can do is to stay out of their way until they want to confront me." Angelica suggested.
"Sounds like a logical move to me. Deep down I doubt that they will ever get over this but hopefully Chuckie can get Kimi through as painlessly as possible."
The couple sat in silence for a good 30 minutes before there was a knock on Tommy's door.
"Come in." Tommy said.
The door opened and Chuckie came in.
"Hey Chuck." The pair greeted.
"Hey guys." Chuckie responded in a defeated tone.
"How are they?" Tommy asked.
"Well, Susie is trying to comfort them but believe me, it isn't pretty there...and I was only listening! Phil couldn't stand listening to them wail and he said he was gonna go back to his parents' house to think things over." Chuckie told them.
"So it's possible to assume that me may not have too much of a problem with us?" Angelica asked.
Chuckie shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure but it is a possibility."
"Do you know what the parent's have been saying?" Tommy asked.
"Well...kind of. To put it in simple terms, you 2 are not gonna be exactly popular with them for as long as I can tell." Chuckie told them. He moved closer. "Of course, I don't think they will be happy to see either of you for a long time. It's your call on what you do but if I were you guys, I'd stay away from them until they request to see you. But I'm a passive person so don't take my advice."
Angelica, for once, could see the wisdom in Chuckie's advice and she felt that it might not be bad to follow. She stood and placed a hand on Chuckie's shoulder.
"Chuckie, you've got me thinking. Could you leave us for the time being?" She asked.
"Sure thing. Call if you need me." Chuckie said as he left the room.
Tommy looked at her with a questioning look. "So, what are you thinking?" He asked.
Angelica turned to face Tommy. She smiled as she sat next to him and placed an arm around him.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe Chuckie is right. Maybe it would be best for us to leave and let things cool down here before we talk to our parents again." She suggested.
Tommy ran a hand along his chin as he thought. Would this be a good thing to do? To just take off? At least everyone could rant and rave all they wanted.
"Maybe you are right. Maybe we should go." Tommy replied.
Angelica leaned closer to him and planted a kiss on his lips.
"I think we should. Let's go." She said.
To Be Continued...

The next chapter will have everyone's afterthought on this turn of events. Will anyone accept how Tommy and Angelica feel for each other than Chuckie and Susie?
