Chapter 22: A trip to Richard's

Princess Sango

Rachel smiled at the two other girl's, "I better get going, I have to go tell my mom and dad. Also I have to take George-kun home, unless you want him here Koja?"

"It's fine with me, he knows right?"

"Yeah."

"Then leave him."

Rachel nodded before going to go pick up Ai and Jimmy. She found them inside the kitchen drinking Gatorade and smiling to one another. "Hey guys, what you been up to?"

"Kicking Harley's and Koji's butt!" George informed her.

"It's no fair, you had Jimmy-kun on your team!" Koji complained.

George stuck his tongue out at them. "Ai, Jimmy time to go. George-kun we're going to leave you here okay?"

"Hai."

Rachel nodded before yanking Ai and Jimmy out the door. "We're going to grandpa's house Ai."

"Yay! Grandpa, grandpa!" she chimed innocently.

"Couldn't I stay with Harley and Koji then?" grumbled Jimmy.

"Hey! You know you're going to see him a lot more when we're married," Rachel yelled at him as Ai looked up at them.

"Sorry! Sorry! Geez, Rachel-chan, but I can wait till then."

Rachel snorted and walked faster towards the house. Jimmy and Ai ran to catch up and when they did Rachel was just closing the door. Jimmy placed his foot in the space and opened the door. He gave her a smile and she immediately lightened up and opened the door for him.

Ai ran inside and looked for Richard who was on the couch reading a newspaper. "Grandpa!" Ai shouted as she collided with his chest.

Richard smiled at her and ruffled her hair, "Hey there, are your parents here too?"

Ai nodded to him and hugged him. "Is grandma here?"

"I think she's in the kitchen, let's go see, shall we?"

Ai nodded again and they walked into the kitchen to find Eva starting to bake cookies. She stopped what she was doing and scooped up the enthusiastic little girl, "How are you doing sweetie?"

"Great! What are you doing?"

"Making cookies, want to help?"

Ai nodded to her and when she was put down she went to go wash her hands.
