Disclaimer: No own. Sorry. Just Ivy and friends.

A/n: Sorry this took so long to post. I had a major writer's block. But luckily not only am I over it but I also wrote my first song fic! (I'm really excited) It should be posted by now, if you want check it out! Oh and thanks for all the reviews, ya'll make my world go round.

On w/ the story! Yuki is probably out of character but he's sick.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tohru laughed and offered them a seat. Presently they heard raised voices in the kitchen. "So, you guys perform in the musical," she began praying that her distraction would counter the yelling.

"Yeah, I play Chava," Akaya replied, "Margo and Ivy play my sisters, Paul plays Perchik a student from Kiev."

"Marxism all the way!" Paul joked raising his fist in the air.

Presently the voices in the kitchen began to grow louder and Akaya continued louder than before, "Smitty is the fiddler on the roof and Ian plays Fyedka, a Russian Cossack."

"That's sounds awesome." Tohru replied loudly with her catchy smile on her face, "I can't believe I'm talking to real live actors! I mean Ivy stayed here last night but we were so engrossed playing Candyland that I didn't really realize until now."

In the kitchen the heard Ivy yell, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU-"

"I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. BA-BUM-BUM!" Tohru randomly half sang half screamed to drown out Ivy. Yuki awoke with a start from Tohru's loud attempt to keep Ian at ease and not get second thoughts of what he got himself into by proposing to Ivy. Yuki fell off the couch with a thump as Tohru continued her song, "I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. BA-BUM-BUM! I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. BA-BUM-BUM! I LIKE THE WAY- I LIKE THE WAY- I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. BA-BUM-BUM!" Tohru paused; the kitchen was quiet. "I'm not much of an opera singer myself, but I am known to sing in the shower now and then." She explained.

"Miss Honda?" Yuki began standing up, he was fully awake now due to her performance and was utterly curious why she was singing that song to a group of people he never really met before, "What is going on in here?"

"A Country Bear Jamboree." Smitty replied, "What does it look like? She's entertaining while Ivy and her cousins have a right little family argument in the kitchen."

"Who the hell are you?" Yuki wondered bluntly. He wasn't feeling too well and was certainly not in the mood to deal with sarcastic Englishmen this time of day.

"I sir," Smitty began in a mock royalty tone, "am Smitty Smith Smythe. The two ladies over on the couch are respectively Akaya and Margo. The gentleman to my right is Paul and the bloke who looks like he's sitting on pins and needles is Ian, Ivy's fiancé. "

"Wait what do you mean fiancé?" Yuki asked.

"Ian has proposed and Ivy has accepted." Margo explained.

Yuki nodded still not fully sure of why an Englishman and his cohorts were in the living room.

"However I think that her brother and cousins aren't too pleased." Margo continued, "They took her in the kitchen for a 'moment'. Which might put a damper on this evenings proceedings."

"Oh, where are you going?" Tohru wondered.

"We're going to get tattoos to remember the production by and Ivy thought we could make it a night on the town and invited her brother and cousins." Ian explained.

"Ah," Yuki nodded, "Forgive me if I sounded rude, I'm not feeling well you see. One can only imagine how confused I was waking up to such commotion."

"No problem, Yuki, right?" Ian said standing up offering his hand.

"Yes, I take it Ivy took the liberty of introducing me while I slept." Yuki concluded shaking Ian's hand, "Firm grip."

"Thanks."

The group was silent as Ian and Yuki summed each other up. When the silence was broken, it was Yuki who spoke.

"Welcome to the family."

There was a knock at the door, making everyone jump. Tohru said she'd get it. A moment later Yuki heard Tohru say, "Hi Ayame."

"I must go." Yuki said in attempt to make himself scarce, "Ian, I'll see if I can't flush out your blushing bride to be. It was nice meeting you all." And with that he left. Seconds later Tohru came into the room with Ayame. Naturally introductions were made. The group enjoyed a comfortable silence while Ayame wondered to himself why they were there. Before he could ask though, Paul spoke up.
"Hey Tohru, do you take requests? Do you know Cotton Eye Joe?"

At the mention of the country song, Paul's cast mates gave him a look.

"What?" he wondered, " I haven't said anything in a while."

Just at that moment Ivy, Hatori, Shigure and Kyo walked out of the kitchen. Ivy mumbled something inaudible then Ayame, just seeing Ivy rushed to her, and hugged her while fake crying. Ivy joined in too and explained to the group after they were done that it was an inside joke from when they were children.

"Aya, do you know the cast already?" Ivy asked, her manners on the front burner now, as she usually did after she flipped out.

"He met us all." Ian reassured her as he glanced her over with a concerned eye. "You look pale, is everything alright?"

"She's fine." Hatori spoke up.

The uncomfortable silence came back yet again as the all stood there nodding uncomfortably. Under her breath Tohru softly hummed, "You put the lime in the coconut" song. Kyo, never one for silence made himself scarce since the whole issue was resolved. Finally Shigure spread his arms wide and embraced Ian in a manly hug while saying in a deep voice, "IAN!"

The actor cast a questioning glance at Ivy who explained her zany cousin's actions, "They accept you… well at least Shigure does."

Ayame didn't say anything, which was an odd occurrence brought on by his confusion of why these people were here and why Paul asked Tohru if she took requests. Smitty was the one to explain and immediately wished he didn't say, "They're getting married."

Ayame's mouth sat open for a second as every one could note the shimmer of joyful tears. He made a semi girlish squeal and embraced Ivy, tears now flowing in the anime way. "Oh my Ivy is getting married! I can't believe it. Oh they grow up so fast! Can I help with your dress or the bridesmaid's dresses? Oh this is so wonderful! Our little Ivy-child is getting hitched…again."

" Again?" Ian asked looking at his future bride, "What do you mean again?"

"Oh look at the time!" Tohru interjected before anyone could respond or react. She began to herd the group to Hatori's car. "If you don't get going the tattoo parlor is going to close."

"Tattoo?" Hatori questioned looking at his twin.

"Yes for the girls and I to remember the musical by." Ivy returned once they got out on the porch, "Remember, I told you Monday. This is the outing that I invited you, Shigure and Ayame to."

"I call shot gun!" Shigure yelled.

"Ivy, my car can't hold nine people!"

"Yeah but your trunk can hold two and the girls and I don't mind sitting on the boy's lap. So it'll be us in the back, you Shigure and Aya in front and who ever wants to be in the trunk." Ivy explained.

Hatori narrowed his eyes at his sister. "You had this all planned out, didn't you?" he accused.

"I got my potted plant air friend!" Paul said pulling out a small potted daisy, "To the trunk!"

"Does that answer you question, Haa-san?" Ivy asked.

"Get in the car." He replied.

"Bye!" Tohru called waving from the porch, "Be careful. Have fun. Come back in one piece!"

A/n: Was it worth the wait? I hope so. There might be some confusion on Paul's potted plant air friend. You see, my friend was a wee bit short on money and she wanted to go to the drive-in, so they planned to put her in the trunk. I suggested that if she brings a plant that breathes out oxygen, then she wouldn't suffocate. They ultimately decided to do something else so they never got to try out my theory. Please don't try it at home. Tell me what ya think on this chapter, personally I luv paul and especially Smitty. Oh and if you can please read my song fic and review.
