Hihi! I'm back again. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter enough to return for the second!

I do own Adrien and Abigail but not Alexander or Amelia or Delbert.

I was pleased that I got reviews so quickly this time : D they really mean a whole lot to me so thanx!

Hope you all enjoy! Got a few ideas, e-mail me with suggestions for what should happen 2 Delbert (I love e-mails!) or just drop a review.

I'll shut up now and leave you to read and (hopefully) review!

"Now remember Delbert," Amelia said for the thousandth time that week, "my parents love manners, so please, PLEASE be on your best behavior."

"I'm not a little kid Darling," he replied, disgruntled, "I know how to behave."

"Oh that reminds me," she hit her head, "Adrien is coming too."

"Who is Adrien?"

She gave a weak smile, "my eleven year old brother."

Delbert's eyes became wide, "Oh no, no, no! I don't do little kids! Treasure hunts, pirates and a swarm of killer bees maybe, kids…no way!"

"Come off it Delbert, he's just a kid, what's the worst he could do?"

Delbert swallowed, "when Jim was about fourteen, he slipped laxatives into my coffee!"

Amelia repressed a grin, "Adrien won't do that Delbert… he grew up with my parents."

"Then Jim ran into the bathroom and locked the door!"

There were few hours left before the Smollet's were due to arrive and Delbert was growing increasingly nervous, his apprehension obvious on his face.

She patted his shoulder comfortingly, "it's going to be fine Darling, just stick beside me and we'll be fine."

He sighed and gave her a smile, "I suppose there's nothing to worry about after all."

She smiled, "wonderful outlook Darling," she placed her arm around his waist, "now how long do we have until they arrive?"

"Long enough," replied he, sweeping her off her feet.

Despite the cheerful way he carried her to their room, Delbert was still nervous. He assured himself that all would be fine. Adrien would be a perfect angel… though he made a memo to hide the laxatives before lunch.

xxxxxXXXXXxxxxx

"Okay Dear, remember what we talked about. Be on your best behavior and keep the bumbling to a minimum."

"I know, I know! We've been through it a hundred times, I get it Amelia. If I had it my way, bear in mind, they wouldn't be here at all."

She nodded, keeping the nervous feeling away. All it would take would be one slip up, and her parents would not go to the wedding at all.

She knew that Delbert was in no event 'best in show' but he simply had to get along with her family.

The doorbell rang.

"Here we go," Amelia muttered; one arm around her fiancé. She took a breath and opened the front door…

A long, black Cadillac was pulled into Delbert's driveway and Amelia's parents Abigail and Alexander Smollet stood in the doorway.

They were both tall and graying slightly. Amelia was the spitting image of her mother, from the laser green eyes to the fiery auburn hair.

"Hello Mother, Father," Amelia exclaimed with a smile, "we've been looking forward to your visit, haven't we Delbert?"

"Um-yes? Oh, yes I was thrilled to hear that I would be meeting Amelia's parents, she speaks so highly of you!"

He shook hands with Alexander, and (knowing that he would win two extra points with Amelia for doing so) kissed her mother on the hand.

Amelia beamed, the day would be fine. She had her doubts, but there was nothing to worry about.

"Won't you all come inside?" Delbert said with a practiced smile that was managed to perfection.

"Adrien!" Called Mrs. Smollet, "Adrien get out here now!"

From the car, a feline boy came rushing to the door. Adrien hugged his sister about the waist, before facing Delbert, an innocent smile on his face.

Delbert grimaced; he was looking into the face of the devil.

"Oh-um, hello Adrien, nice to –meet you,"

Abigail and Alexander made their way into the house. Amelia smiled at Delbert and muttered, "Wonderful Darling, fifty points,"

"Fifty-one," he mumbled back, "your mother's hand tastes like charcoal,"

Adrien smiled politely and followed the adults inside, though he grabbed Delbert's hand, "I don't like you," he hissed, "and if you don't leave my sister alone, I'll be your worst nightmare."

Delbert stood for a moment, unable to understand why he was being threatened by an eleven year old. He really must be soft if he was afraid.

"Darling!" Amelia called from inside.

"C –coming Honey!"

They sat around the lounge, chatting. Amelia nodded and smiled and joined occasionally, though three years of knowing her, told Delbert that she was bored out of her mind.

He smiled to himself, knowing that they were in for a great week and went to sit by Amelia.

Adrien was not in the lounge, probably looking around the house. Delbert was uneasy, what if he left some laxatives lying around by mistake?

He jumped to his feet like an electrified goose, waving his arms around. "Aghahaha!"

"Um, Darling," Amelia said, her eyebrow rising, "what are you doing?"

Delbert pulled the small, golden pin from his posterior.

"Adr –um, just showing your parents my –um –Adoration ritual,"

He began a rather comical but stupid little jig/dance around Amelia, with the occasional cries of 'Aghahaha!'

Amelia's eyebrow lifted higher than he had ever seen it go, he knew that he had dropped twenty points for his outburst.

Adoration Ritual? What was he thinking!

He could not prove that Adrien had done it; the boy was not even in the room. His blood froze as he realized that Adrien could be anywhere in his house.

"Um, Darling, I'll be right back; I just need to…check on… um –something…"

It was probably best if he left anyway, Amelia looked like she would fry his head on the barbecue any minute.

Leaving behind the confused in-laws and a fuming Amelia, Delbert went in search of his future brother in-law.

…What will Delbert do when/if he finds Adrien? What will Amelia do when/if she finds Delbert? LOL

Please review, I lurrv receiving them! If you have any ideas for what could happen, don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Again, I do not own Treasure Planet or Treasure Island and the characters!

Keep Smiling!
