"Papa!"
"Mama!"
"Papa!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what's up?"
"We were fighting over which one of you is better, you or mama?"
Joel smiled and picked up his 4-year-old daughter Ariela. "Ari, how many times do I have to tell you two? Both your mama and I are equal, no matter color or what." Ariela's peach-skinned 6-year-old brother Anthony stuck his tongue out at his tan sister.
"Tony, be nice to your baby sister." Angela Rawlings walked over to her husband. Joel put his daughter down.
"Hey honey." The couple shared a quick kiss.
"Eww" The two children ran off to their bedrooms and closed the doors. The adults giggled.
"How's the sky, cowboy?" Angela asked.
"Not the same as flying in the zord. Are you sure you can't sneak my zord?" Joel made a puppy-dog face.
"How would I sneak a 386 pound piece of machinery in my car?" Joel laughed at his wife's rhetorical question. He wrapped his arms around her.
"So, what's up at the office?"
"Nothin much." Joel smiled at his perfect life. Sure, his son was a little racial, but that was going to change soon. He still had a perfect wife and semi-perfect kids.

"Stop! STOP!" Marina laughed. Chad stop tickling her fin. He came up to the surface.
"See, were just the same." Marina smiled at his comment.
"Maybe in vulnerability, but not in speed!" Marina dove into the water.
"Hey, no fair!" Chad dove in after her. It was not long before the lack of oxygen was too much. He returned to the surface and looked around. Where could she be?
"Here I am!" Chad looked up to see Marina above him. She dove into into the water next to him. Once she returned to the surface, she laughed a t the sight of Chad drenched in water. The Korean boy shook his head fiercely. Marina laughed even more. Soon, Chad couldn't help but join. This is the best. He had the maiden that stole his and he was in the environment he loved. Yup life could never beat this.
