SugarWords- Life without Terra. I can finally update. (looks around.) I have no idea what to write Terra was always giving me help in her own way. I miss her. (SW startes to sob.)

Terra- Thought you could get rid of me did you. Just throw me in the gutter. Well guess what there is a life after death and I'm going to spend the rest of mine tormenting you.

SugarWords- Terra your back. Thank God. AHHHHHH your a ghost.

"Cyborg I'm scared."

"The almighty Raven admits to fear!" Cyborg faked surprise. "I never thought I'd see the day."

"Shut up this is serious. What if your family doesn't like me?"

"They'll love you. Just watch out for Uncle Larry he spits when he talks." Raven grimaced and braced herself as Cyborg rang the doorbell on his grandmother's house. The house was a quaint suborn sized brick house, a white picked fence surrounded the play thing filled yard, and an American flag rested above a second story window. Raven took in her surroundings and sighed. She began to think that this week wouldn't be so bad when she heard the door open and all her fears returned.

"Victor! Baby! Come give your Mi Ma some sugar!" Cyborg raced into his grandmothers arms like a kid to candy. Raven bit back a laugh. "Cyborg where are your manners? Introduce me to this pretty young lady."

"Mi Ma this is my one and only perfect, beautiful, terrific girlfriend Raven." Cyborg pushed the blushing Raven forward. Raven scowled at him, and turned to meet his grandma.

"It is nice to meet you. Thank You for inviting me Mrs. Stone."

"What kind of way is that to greet your man's Grandma? Come give me a hug." The old woman pulled Raven into a hug and Raven marveled at how strong the woman was. She started to think Cyborg was strong before he was in the car accident. "And Call me Mi Ma. Come in every one. Vernon get your ass down here and help your cousin with his bags."

Raven heard Cyborg groan and mutter not Vernon. A tall, lanky boy about Cyborg's age came racing around the corner a little to fast. He tried to stop, but didn't master the move and ran straight into Raven. Mi Ma muttered idiot and stalked off to the kitchen to finish cooking for that evening. Raven and Vernon disentangled themselves from each other and stood up. Introductions and apologies were made and then Vernon helped Cyborg with their bags. Cyborg was staying the week in Vernon's room, and Raven was given the guest bedroom across the hall.

After Raven settled in she checked on Cyborg. He was playing Vernon's old Natindo 64, while ignoring the bombarded of questions Vernon was throwing him. Raven told him that she was going down to the kitchen to see if Mi Ma needed help. Inside the kitchen Mi Ma was cooking a feast. Everything Cyborg had cooked the night before, minus the tofu, was there plus many other things like fried green tomatoes, okra, gumbo, and cocktail wieners. Raven stared around her in wonder.

"It's a lot of food ain't it. I'm guessing you've seen how much Victor eats."

"Yes Mam."

"I got to feed a whole family like that."

"Do you need any help?" Raven sat down at the kitchen table chair.

"Nah I got everything done. The rest of the family will be coming soon. No I don't need any help, but I would like to talk. How bought we go sit in the sunroom?" Mi Ma finished with the dish she was doing and turned the burners on low. Raven stood up and followed the woman to a closed in porch. It was warm and decorated with inviting colors. Raven noticed a knitting basket beside a rocker.

"Do you knit?"

"Yeah I do. How about you?"

"A little. I knitted Cyborg . . . uh Victor a sweater once, but the stitches were wrong so it didn't fit. I almost cried, but he squeezed into it to try and make me feel better. He looked so funny I busted out laughing."

"You love him don't you?"

"Very much."

"I'm happy for my Victor. He needs happiness in his life after all he's been through. You seem like a wonderful girl. A little skinny, but I'll fix that in a hurry." Raven laughed. She could see why Cyborg loved his grandma so much. The woman continued to talk until they heard the garage door open. "That will be Harry, my husband."

A man who looked just like Cyborg only older walked in the room. "Damn Georgia it smells like heaven in here."

"Just don't you be sneaking any bites of heaven. You remember what happened to Adam and Eve."

"I won't woman. Well you must be Raven. Victor has told us so much about you in his letters. He never mentioned how beautiful you were. Call me Gramps." Raven blushed. "Victor's done picked a damn fine sexy one." Mi Ma slapped him upside the head.

"Sit boy and don't drool on my knew carpet." Just then the doorbell rang and Gramps cringed.

"The family has arrived. Let me warn you Uncle Larry spits when he talks."

SugarWords- Terra is back and all is good.

Terra-Damn stupid story. I'm all teary eyed know.

SugarWords-I want the old Terra back though.
