Chapter 17: George
Princess Sango
Jimmy helped Rachel move her belongings into his room. They had gotten rid of his small bed and replaced it with a bed big enough for three. He looked up to see Rachel helping Ai set up her room down the hall; which used to belong to him when he was around her age.
Dr. Agasa's house was being sold to Kaja and Koji, who loved the house. It was sad to go visit Agasa's grave but knowing who was taking the house made him feel better. Jimmy straightened himself up and made his way to Ai's new room. They were currently painting the room a soft purple and purple carpeting had been placed in the room.
"Daddy!" Ai ran up to him and hugged him. Jimmy scooped the girl up.
"How's the room coming along Ai?" Jimmy asked her.
"Great daddy, see! We only have the wall with the window left. Mommy told me after that's done we can move my stuff in!" Her voice exclaimed and informed him.
"That's great sweetie, now let me and mommy talk for a minute."
"Okay!" Jimmy placed her down and she ran to go play somewhere.
"What's up Jimmy?" asked Rachel, moving a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Nothing much, but I was wondering when we were going to get married. We have that piece of the puzzle left."
Rachel gave him a faint smile, "Why don't we do a triple wedding?"
"Triple wedding?"
Rachel swallowed but smiled, "Yeah, you know with Kaja, Koji, Harley, and Kazuha."
"Oh, that would make a lot of sense. If you want to that's fine by me."
Rachel ran up and hugged him, "Thank-you Jimmy!"
Jimmy smiled at her, "Of course, Rachel-chan. Now why don't all three of us go out for lunch? We've been inside all day and it's about time that we relax. Go see a movie and do other things?"
Rachel smiled up at him, "Yes, we should. I'll go help Ai get ready."
Jimmy nodded to her, "Okay then be ready in a half an hour."
Rachel nodded as she ran out of the room to go get their daughter.
Half an hour later...
Rachel, Jimmy, and Ai walked out of the house to be greeted by the sunny day. Next door they could see Koja and Koji taking a brake as well. "Aunt Kaja, Uncle Koji! What are you doing?" yelled Ai over to them.
"Just taking a brake Ai-chan, going out?"
"Yes, we're taking a brake as well!" Ai smiled at them.
"That's good, have fun!" Kaja and Koji stood up and walked back into the house.
They continued on their way towards a noodle restaurant called Noodles and Comp. On their way they passed George who seemed a little lonely. Ai asked her parents if George could come, they agreed.
"Hey George, why don't you come with us to eat and go do something?" she asked politely.
"Okay..." George followed the three sulkily.
When they ordered and everyone sat down to wait; George asked the group if they had seen Cali, Conan, Amy, or Mitch. Jimmy and Rachel squirmed slightly, "Ai, why don't you go get your soda filled over at the fountain?"
Ai nodded grabbing her cup and making her way through the busy restaurant. "George, Conan, Cali, Mitch, and Amy aren't going to come back," Rachel told the already sad boy.
"Why not?"
"Actually remember that day you were with us; that cage?" asked Jimmy.
"Yes."
"Well Cali was Rachel and Conan was me, Koja and Koji are Mitch and Amy. We had something complicated happen to us and that's why we were them..."
George looked at them shocked, "You...? That can't be but if you real are then what is the Junior Detective League's password?"
Jimmy and Rachel gave them a sly smile, "Sly as a fox!"
George looked at them surprised and ran up and hugged them. "I can still come over right?"
Jimmy and Rachel nodded, "Of course and Amy and Mitch will be right next door so you can see them too."
"You guys don't mind?"
"Nope, you are our friend George, we don't mind."
He nodded to them and Ai came back and Jimmy gave the "quiet sign" and George nodded as the food arrived to and they enjoyed the meal.
