Squid ran into the guest bedroom and jumped onto Kandy's bed. She rolled over and grabbed him. They started kissing.
"I can't believe I get to see you already!"
"You didn't think that by moving to New York that you could get rid of me that easily did you?" Squid laughed and kissed Kandy.
"No, I tried but you know you just keep coming back." Kandy smiled.
"Nothing could keep me from you." They continued kissing.
"Gross! Are you guys kissing?" Joey and Max were standing in the doorway looking disgusted. Alan ran over to them and pushed them out the door then ran back and jumped onto Kandy's bed.
"Sorry they still think girls have cooties."
"Oh, well I won't tell them you have cooties." Squid looked offended.
"I do not have cooties!" Kandy laughed and hugged her boyfriend.
"Its ok cooties are hot!" Squid's expression went from hurt to joy.
"Is that how I ended up with a girl as beautiful as you? It is those sexy cooties I have?"
"Yah it is those sexy cooties… well, I guess your personality is ok too."
"Thanks, yours sucks, but that's ok I'm shallow." They both laughed, but were interrupted by knocking on the door.
"Alan, your friends are all upstairs and breakfast is ready."
"Ok! Thanks Jodi!" Kandy and Squid got up and walked up to the dinning room and sat down at the table.
"Jeeze Squid what took you guys so long?" Armpit started to dig into his waffles as he threw this question at Squid. Max and Joey laughed.
"They were…KISSING! That is what took them so long! It was gross!" Max and Joey made kissing faces at each other and started a loud round of Alan and Kandy sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Everyone laughed including Zero.
Once every one had their fill of waffles they went up to Squid's room and talked.
"You have no idea how much I missed you guys!" Kandy was so excited to be back with d-tent again. Even though she never got to meet Caveman and Zero they were all getting along fine. Caveman and Zero told everyone about what they found out in the desert. Once they got to the part where they found the treasure and got to keep it everyone was amazed.
"So you're rich now? I bet you have some hot chicks crawling all over you now!" Zigzag smiled his goofy grin and got a dream look on his face.
"Do you know what I could do with all that money?" X-ray answered Magnet's questions before Magnet got the chance.
"Well for starters you could afford to buy a puppy and you wouldn't have to seal one!" Everyone laughed. They all thought it was funny that Magnet stole a puppy and got sent to Camp Green Lake for it. They spent the rest of the morning talking about what they could do with all that money.
It was time for lunch and Jodi surprised them by ordering them pizza (she never ordered anything she always made all the food she fed her children.) She said that this was a special occasion and that it was time to celebrate.
"Are you guys planning on staying for dinner?" The boys looked at each other.
"Uhh…I dunno."
"It is fine if you want to stay for dinner! In fact why don't you stay? It would be nice to have some people over the age of six at the table for a change." Jodi always liked to show of her skills in the kitchen. All the boys accepted and were glad that they were going to be fed such good food.
After they ate dinner it was time for all the boys to leave. Kandy hugged them all and said that they better come and visit her soon!
"I am staying her for a week you know! So you better not ignore me!" They all promised to come and visit her again before she left.
Not long after the d-tent boys left Bruce pulled into the drive way. He did not come for dinner, and was still sore from the fight he and Jodi had. He came in and warmed up some of the left- overs. He noticed Kandy standing at the other end of the kitchen. He began to overwhelm her with questions.
"So, how long are you staying at my house? I would like to know because I was not informed that you were staying here." Kandy was taken aback by his rudeness.
"I was told I could stay for a week if that is alright with you."
"Yes, whatever. So you went to this camp with Alan…what exactly was your crime?"
"Stealing cars."
"I see, what did your parents say when they found out?"
"My parents never found out, they died before it happened."
"What happened to them?"
"I would rather not talk about it."
"Why not?" By now Squid was mad and he jumped in to her defense.
"Bruce if she doesn't want to talk about it then don't make her! She didn't steal the car and she is a good person! Just shut-up!" Bruce got up and walked across the room. He was furious that Squid had just told him to shut-up.
"Do not ever tell me to shut-up! You have no manners do you? I guess I can't blame you, it's not like that bitch of a mother taught you any!" Squid was bright red. No one ever talked bad about his mother and got away with it. He went flying through the air and pushed Bruce.
"Never talk about my mom!" Jodi and Kandy jumped between the two. Kandy started talking to Squid and trying to calm him while Jodi did the same with Bruce.
"Kelly, please just take Alan somewhere else." Kandy listened and took him outside. They went for a walk. Squid was so mad! He was furious that Bruce had the nerve to talk about his mother like that. Kandy did her best to comfort him. Once he had calmed down they went back to Bruce's house and when they went inside they were in the middle of another fight between Jodi and Bruce.
"How dare he come at me like that? I bet it is that girlfriend of his!"
"Bruce, you are being a jerk! I like her and you have no right to blame this on her! You talked bad about his mother! I would have done the same!"
"Now you are on his side? That is it! I am done with you and your constant bitching! I am leaving!" Bruce made for the door.
"Oh fine Bruce! Just leave, you did it to Alan and his mom and now you're doing it to me and your family! That is fine because you are not worth my time!" Bruce walked by Alan and Kandy who were still in the doorway. He stopped and pushed Squid down.
"Don't look at me! I am your father!" Bruce left him in the door way and got into his car and drove away.
