The next day, Keely woke up with tear stains on her face. She went into the bathroom and splashed some water on it. She was still in her clothes from the night before, so she changed into comfy sweats and a white wife beater. The doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Keely asked before opening the door.
"It's me." Phil said
Keely opened the door, and Phil was standing there with a bouquet of flowers behind his back and a container of ice cream.
"I thought some ice cream might cheer you up from our hectic day yesterday, with my mom and all."
"Aww, that's so sweet. Come on inside." Keely said while giving him a quick hug.
Once they shut the door, Phil pulled the flowers from behind his back, and gave them to Keely. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"I love you, Keels," Phil said, "I know that we're going through some difficult times right now with my family, but I just wanted you to know that I care about you more than anything in the world."
"I love you too, Phil. I've felt that way ever since I met you."
Phil grabbed Keely and put his arms around her waist and kissed her. Keely put her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss they were sharing.
Phil took his finger and lifted her chin up and kissed her once again. "I will never let anything happen between us. I will always be here for you, Keely."
Later that dayPhil went home after visiting Keely. He opened the door to hear shouting from his mother. "PHIL, WHERE WERE YOU? IF YOU WERE AT KEELY'S …"
"Actually, Mom I was at Keely's..and you know what? I don't care what you say..you can't do anything to come between us."
"Phil, I'm just trying to protect you! But now that you're doing this, I am not allowing you to leave this house or do anything with anyone. You will go to school, and come back when school lets out!"
Phil ran upstairs and into Pim's room. "Did you notice anything different about Mom lately?" Phil asked before knocking.
"Ew, what are you doing in here? GET OUT OF MY ROOM?" Pim said.
Phil stepped out of the room with the door still open. "Okay, I'm out. Now let me talk!" Phil said.
"Fine….what do you want?"
"Mom has been acting strange lately..she won't let me be friends with Keely and she won't let me leave this house!" Phil said.
"Ooh..so the replicator still is working…" Pim carried on not realizing what she was saying.
"What did you just say?" Phil asked.
"Nothing..you didn't hear a thing of what I just said, right?" Pim said, trying to cover up what she just said.
"I heard it all..now TALK." Phil shouted.
"Alrighhhhttt. Well, it's really hard to say this to you..except, that blondie has been bugging me..you and her have been flirting since day one, and you two still don't realize that you both are crazy about each other .. So me, being nice and all, replicated Mom and Dad, and made them tell you that you can't be friends with Keely. I was just trying to bring you guys together during horrible conditions..it kinda balances the two out." Pim said
"PIM, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT! WHAT ABOUT OUR REAL PARENTS? WHERE ARE THEY? HUH?" Phil shouted.
"Stop overreacting, I sent them off to Tokyo or someplace like that for a vacation. They'll be gone for about another month or something." Pim said.
"And where did you get the money to send them there?" Phil asked
"I pulled a few strings, and got some donations from people."
"DONATIONS? What the hell were you thinking?" Phil yelled.
"I don't know, trying to be mean and nice at the same time …helping you out, but also putting you in a bad situation..it's my specialty."Pim said, while cracking up.
"Okay, even though I'm ready to kill you right now, we have to get rid of these replications of mom and dad..so how are we going to do that?" Phil asked.
"GET THE REPLICATOR." Pim shouted.
"I WOULD BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO USED IT LAST, REMEMBER?" Phil shouted even louder.
"Okay, let's just stop fighting and stay calm..I guess I just lost it or something.." Pim said.
"Yeah, in this pile of crap that you call a bedroom. How are we gonna find it? Your room is a mess."
"Okay, I'll find it..I don't need your help.." Pim said.
"While your doing that, I'm going back to Keely's to tell her what you did."
Phil walked out the door, past his "Mom" and straight to Keely's house for the second time that day. He didn't even bother to listen to what the replication of his mom was shouting to him.
He rang to doorbell, and when he got in, he hugged Keely. "What are you doing here?" Keely asked him, still glad that he was there.
"Well, I wanted to tell you that my mom that was enforcing these so called "rules" is not my real mom." Phil said
"What are you talking about?" Keely asked, confused.
"Well, let's sit down and I'll tell you the whole story.." Phil said.
