Life: Welcome back everybody!!!

Kelly: Somebody shoot me.

Life: Anyway, it's about that time, guys! Let me tell ya, it was so hard trying to pick one person out of all the possible potentials (that's what took me so long), so I just wrote a chapter and put each person in it. I finally picked the person I felt I could make the funniest character of in my story. So, the person I picked is...um, hang on...oh here it is! Okay, the person I picked is...BouncyBluePenguin2!!! The OC Lia, as well as Elizabeth is joining the cast in Chapter 3. For those who did not make it, they will be put in a future story (which IS coming) so everybody's happy! Now, on with the story!

Kelly: Anybody got a gun? Anybody?

2: Surprise Plans...Bad Ones

Ash stumbled downstairs and into the kitchen. Every time he woke up, no matter how sleepy, somehow he automatically went to the kitchen.

Ash sank down into a chair at the dining room table. Pikachu jumped up on the table and sat beside him.

Delia entered the kitchen with a big smile on her face. "Good afternoon, dear!" she said. "I would say good morning but it's 3:15 in the afternoon. So, would you like both breakfast and lunch?"

"Yeah, sounds great," Ash said with a yawn.

Delia's smile never faded. "Then that makes three meals I have to prepare!" she said.

"Three?" Ash questioned, his head beginning to sink towards the table.

"Yes," Delia answered, grabbing her apron and kitchen tool belt off of a counter. "Your breakfast and lunch, and the big dinner! I'd better get started!"

"Oh," Ash yawned, and his head hit the table. Then immediately it shot back up, nearly twisting off his neck. "Mom," he began in a quavery voice, "d-did you just s-say a b-b-b...big dinner?"

Delia nodded happily. "Oh, it's going to be wonderful, Ash Honey!" she exclaimed. "Why I've got the menu all planned out. Six kinds of meat, seven side dishes, five kinds of vegetables, Italian bread, and of course, the good old soda!" She pulled a five-liter bottle of orange soda, which was almost half her height, out of nowhere and held it up. "Nine other drinks, too!"

"Mom, tell me you are not seriously considering doing this!" Ash pleaded.

"What's wrong with it?" Delia asked, still holding the orange soda. Ash tried not to look at it.

"Well, Mo-om," Ash whined, "the last two times were awful!"

Delia smiled at her son. "Well, that's what the dinner is for! To make up for my messed-up meals! Come on, now, Ash Honey, this can't be as bad as the other two."

Oh can't it? Ash thought miserably. Was there any way to stop his meal-making mother? Hadn't she learned her lesson before? Would someone have to spill something on her before she realized what a bad idea this was?

"Who's coming?" Ash asked, almost afraid of the answer.

"Well, let's see," Delia said. "I invited everyone from the lunch and dinner, plus two teenagers I met while grocery shopping!"

Ash's head fell on the table again. But this time it was from despair, not tiredness.

There was no way around it. There would be a big dinner, then a big mess, and definitely a big fight somwhere. These big meals were just such a hassle!

And what was next?

A big midnight snack?

Life: Another successful chapter!

Kelly: We'll see.

Life: Please come back for Chapter 3! And now for previews!

=The guest list keeps going and going and going...=

"You know, this is a very nice house," the girl near the door said.

"Thank you," Ash replied. "Now can I ask you a question?"

The girls both nodded.

"Who the heck are you??"

Seeya!
