George and Eddie did indeed find the situation hilarious. They wondered if the lady didn't realize Kyle's outfit was nothing like the actual employees. Or if she just had her 'Marsha vision' engaged. Either way, he could tell they would joke about it for weeks. Maybe longer. A small smile came to his face as he toyed with his bags. Tommy stated,"I really hope we never see that jerk again."

"Eh, what're the chances we'll see her a second time?",Kyle asked. After all, it was a big city. There was barely any chances that they'd meet up ever again. He patted his Buddi's back reassuringly at this. Causing him to smile slightly as he nodded his head. To keep him from lingering on this, he questioned,"So, Glenda. What should we make for dinner tonight?"

"Can we have pizza tonight?",she asked. Grinning as she turned to look at her older brother. Toying with the pencil in her hand absentmindedly. It was a sound request. They hadn't made pizza in quite a few months. So he nodded his head. Thinking over the supplies that they would need for it. And they resumed chatting about how their day had gone. After an hour of this, Kyle decided they needed to leave. Helping Tommy with Glenda's things as she hugged Tyler. Both giving their friends hugs before they headed out to their Kaslan car. Soon as everyone was in, Glenda asked,"Can we have cake tonight too?"

"I'll think about it, Sweets.",Kyle answered. Cake was another thing they hadn't had in a long time. But he wasn't sure he was in the mood for it. Still, he wanted her to be happy. So if there was a decent cake on sale, he'd get it. Smiling as she nodded her head happily. Part of him wondered why she wanted a cake out of the blue like this. Since, she hadn't asked for it in so long. Then he started thinking about what today was. It would've been his Mother's forty-eighth birthday. His heart sank when he realized that he hadn't remembered. But Glenda had. Making him feel awful for forgetting his late Mother's birthday. And that Glenda was the only one who had. Putting those thoughts aside, he put on a happy face. Not wanting to alert his little sister or Buddi that something was up. Suggesting they play 'Truth or Dare' while they drove to the store.

They did mostly tame things while playing it. And it kept his own mind off of the date as well. When they pulled up to the store, Kyle asked,"Is there anything we desperately need while we're here?"

"I made a list of some of the things we need. I believe it's just toilet paper, soda, and garbage bags.",Tommy answered. Quickly running through the list that he had in his head. Going over it twice to be sure that he hadn't missed anything, he nodded. Kyle smiled slightly as they got out of the car. Glenda taking his and Tommy's hands while they walked through the parking lot. Afraid that she'd get lost if she let go. Something that she hadn't voiced to either of them in the past. But she guessed they probably already knew about this. She grinned slightly as Kyle let go of her hand to grab a cart. Still hanging onto Tommy's hand as they walked through the aisles. Both of them singing the Buddi song as they walked along. While they got the items they needed, she noticed a strange lady following after them. Her hair was blonder than Kyle's was. Which she wasn't sure was possible.

Tommy noticed that Glenda's attention was diverted from him. Her gaze was watching something behind them as they shuffled along. Following her gaze, he frowned as he realized who she noticed. It was the woman from the mall. She probably hadn't followed them from the mall. But it was the worst coincidence that they encountered in a long while. Shoving those thoughts to the side, he whispered,"Babe, guess who's here."

"Uh...is it the lady from before?",Kyle asked in a low voice. Looking at his Buddi, he frowned as he noticed Tommy nodding. Glancing over his shoulder as discreetly as possible, he sighed when he saw her following them. An overwhelming urge to scream at her came over him as they moved to the sauce aisle. Looking for a specific sauce they heard someone clearing their throat to the right of them. Gritting his teeth, Kyle turned to the person. While Tommy put Glenda carefully behind him as the woman snapped her fingers at his boy. Resisting the urge to burn her hair as she hissed,"You! Now I know where you work! I want to speak to your manager!"

"I don't work here either, lady.",Kyle stated. Feeling rather annoyed that this woman wouldn't leave him alone. He didn't want the situation to escalate any more than it already had. Fearing that Tommy would lose his patience and get violent with the woman. Almost like he had with Trevor a couple of months ago in the store. But it seemed the woman didn't listen to this information as she grabbed his upper arm. Squeezing tightly as she hissed,"Bullshit, I know for a fact your ass works here."

"And I'm going to have you fired if you don't come with me.",she added. Trying to physically drag Kyle out of the aisle they were in. Glaring at him when he slapped her hand off of his arm. He stated,"Keep your hands off of me. I'm a customer like you."

"Now leave me alone.",he added. Going to grab the cart handle once again but had been stopped by the woman. Her hand gripped his arm so tight he was sure there was going to be a bruise. He squirmed in her grip as he demanded she let him go. But she ignored this as she physically started dragging him once again out of the aisle. Tommy decided he'd had enough of this as he instructed Glenda to grab the cart. Then he hurried over to Kyle and the woman. Smacking her hands off of his boy as he glared at her. Trying to keep his eyes from glowing red as he hissed,"He said that he doesn't work here either, Miss. We're just trying to get our groceries."

"Please, leave us alone. Or I'm going to call the cops.",he added. Hoping that tactic would work again as he put Kyle behind him. Who hurried over to his little sister as quickly as possible. Telling her that everything was fine and the lady was just confused. The woman got this strange look on her face as she examined his. Immediately noticing the charger port in his neck and sneering. She mumbled something under her breath that he didn't catch. But he didn't care to ask her to repeat herself. Instead, he just walked back over to his family. Smoothing his features into a small smile as he picked a cheap pizza sauce off the shelf. Carefully setting it in the cart as he asked,"You think we should get pepperonis for the pizza or just have it be a cheese one?"

"Pepperonis with olives?",Glenda suggested. Giving Tommy a big grin as she loosened her grip on the cart. Her Buddi nodded his head in agreement as they started heading towards the canned olives. Not noticing that the woman had left the aisle. And definitely not caring where she went either. As they put the items into the cart, they heard the woman's voice once again. This time, it sounded much more irate than it did earlier. They turned to where she was coming from and noticed a worker along with her. Someone that looked like a manager. Both Tommy and Kyle gritted their teeth as they came close. Soon as she was within an arm's length of Kyle, she poked him hard in the chest. Then she hissed,"This is the man that I was talking about. He refused me service and cursed at me."

"He had his horrid little robot threaten me too.",she added. Jabbing her thumb at Tommy for emphasis. He was tempted to break that thumb as he glared at her. Feeling his eyes glow bright red as he sneered at the woman. The employee clearly looked done as he stared at the three of them. Then he said,"Miss, he doesn't work here."

"And he didn't curse at you! You were being a jerk to him and tried to hurt him!",Glenda pipped up. Giving the lady her best annoyed look. Which was somewhat unnerving for someone that young. Patting her on the head, Kyle nodded his head. He then pulled up his shirt to reveal the injury that the irate woman had given him. Calmly as possible, he said,"She tried to physically drag me out of the aisle when I told her that I didn't work here."

"And Tommy here only threatened to call the cops when she wouldn't leave us alone.",he added. It was the truth. Tommy even agreed to that as he got between the woman and his boy. Giving the woman a stern look as he set his hands on his hips. While the employee looked over at the woman, she had gone very pale. Spluttering something that neither could easily understand. And the employee stated,"Miss, I think you should leave. Or I'm going to call the authorities."

"You're not allowed to do this to anyone. Regardless, if they work here or not.",he added. Keeping his tone firm but polite. The woman's face turned bright red as she turned on her heel and sprinted out of sight. Possibly sprinting out of the store as well. Soon as she was out of sight, the employee apologized for how they were treated. Telling them that she was one of their most problem customers. And that he was going to make sure that she got banned after this. They thanked him for this and went on with the rest of their shopping. Getting enough supplies to make two pizzas. One being Glenda's favorite and Kyle's. Then heading to the bakery to find a suitable cake. One that he knew would've been their Mom's favorite. Strawberry with chocolate frosting. Also picking out some lavender ice cream that Kyle knew that Glenda would love. Since, she'd behaved herself so well and helped them so much with that horrid woman. He felt that she deserved a little treat for it. Even letting her pick out some candy at the register when they got to the self check out.

When they were done, Tommy ordered them a Kaslan car. The three of them sat on a bench outside of the store while they waited. Glenda and Tommy sang the Buddi song as they patiently waited. Noticing the woman from earlier sitting in her car. Glowering at them as she sat there. Kyle just politely waved at her as he gave her a shit-eating grin. She flipped him off then pulled out of the parking lot. Making him laugh as he rolled his eyes at her. Oh, well. Hopefully they weren't going to see her for a third time. A moment later, the car pulls up to the curb. Tommy puts their groceries into the back seat. While Kyle buckled Glenda into her seat. Getting into the passenger-side seat, he said,"You were such a big help today, Glenda."

When Tommy got in, he added,"You did a great job at telling that lady were to stuff it."

Glenda grinned at this information. It felt good knowing that she helped out her older brother and Buddi like that. And was really grateful that the rude lady didn't get away with her lies. She shouldn't have hurt her big brother like that. Putting that to the side, she asked,"Is your arm okay, Kyle?"

"Yeah, it's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore, I promise.",he answered. It was true. The cuts weren't all that deep and the bruise didn't look too bad. But they probably were going to linger for a while. Shoving those thoughts aside, he turned slightly to give his sister a reassuring smile. While the car pulled away from the curb, he suggested,"Do you want to play 'Truth or Dare', Glenda?"

She nodded her head at this. And for the entire trip home, they played 'Truth or Dare'. Keeping it light as they got home. Soon as they were, they started making the pizzas. Part of him felt grateful they picked up already made crusts. Glenda helped Tommy put sauce on the pizzas while Kyle preheated the oven. Hurrying to the table, he started opening the mushrooms and olives. Putting a ton on the first pizza along with the pepperonis. The second pizza, he opened the fridge and got out some left-over jalapenos that they used for their tacos. Holding them up for Tommy and Glenda to see, he asked,"You guys cool with me putting these on the second pizza?"

"Yeah! Put'em all on with some pepperonis!",Glenda suggested. That made him raise an eyebrow as he stared down at her. She put down a few pepperonis as she continued,"You can make that tsundere pizza we saw that one lady eating."

That made sense. And he'd been interested in eating it for a couple of days. Smiling slightly, he nodded his head in agreement. Then put down a ton of the pepperonis that they had. Carefully dumping what was left of the jalapenos that they had. Pouring a little more cheese over them as well. When he was done, he put the pizzas into the oven. Setting the timer on his phone as he said,"Here we go. Ten minutes for each of them."

"While they bake, let's watch a little T.V.",Kyle added. Tommy nodded his head in agreement as he switched the T.V on. Cleaning up the pizza mess as Glenda hurried over to the couch. Plopping down on it as she watched the new Steven Universe show. Some dumb thing that he wasn't entirely interested in either. That show was just too boring for his tastes. Ignoring this, he sits down at the kitchen table. Toying with things on his phone as he waited for the pizzas to cook. While he did this, Tommy sat down next to Glenda as he watched the T.V. Feeling slightly unimpressed with the new show that was being aired. It was really unimpressive in his eyes. And he didn't really like how much of an asshole that Steven was turning out to be. How dismissive he was too.

It was hard to believe that Glenda was enjoying this. But he figured she probably just liked the other characters. And not Steven. He did until she said,"Steven's being a total jerk face."

"I know. I wish someone would tell him to stop.",Tommy agreed. Feeling grateful that she also felt this way about them. He grinned slightly as he toyed with his choker for a little bit. Turning the channel with his fingertip to something else. Halfway through the episode, Kyle announced that the pizzas were finally ready. And was setting them down on the table carefully. Cutting them up as Glenda slipped off the couch and headed to the table. Smiling down at her, he asked,"How many slices do you want, Sweets?"

She only asked for two slices as she smiled back at him. Which he gave to her before she headed to the living room. Sitting back down on the couch as she watched the show. Kyle took three slices from the jalapeno laden one and headed over to them. Sitting on the opposite side as he started eating. It was much spicier than he anticipated it would be. But he found himself enjoying it as he continued to eat. When they were done with their pizzas, Tommy got up to cut the cake. He had hurried over so fast that it was weird. Glenda raised an eyebrow as she watched him move. Looking at Kyle, she stated,"Uh, that was weird."

"Yeah...wonder what he's up to.",Kyle muttered. Raising an eyebrow as he put the lavender ice cream next to Glenda's slice. Putting the ice cream back quickly before taking the slices out to them in the living room. Giving the plates to them, Tommy gave them a polite smile. This made Kyle raise an eyebrow as he noticed Tommy's intense look. Glenda looked slightly confused as she looked at her Buddi then at Kyle. Tilting her head to the side as she started digging into her cake. Shrugging his shoulders, he started eating his own slice. When he took a bite out of his cake, he hit something hard. And it definitely wasn't the fork.

Setting the cake and fork down on the coffee table, he pulled the item out of his mouth. Finding that he was now holding a ring in his hand. One with a strange looking gem that was in the shape of a heart. The metal around it was shaped into hands with a small crown over it. Which also had a tiny gem in it. A little clear one. Looking it over, he tried to process what in the world it was. Then it hit him. This was a claddagh. Claddaghs were wedding rings. Kyle's eyes widened slightly as Tommy carefully took it out of his hand. Getting down on one knee as he smiled up at his boy. Tilting his head to the side, Tommy said,"I had Maggie help me get this. She thought you'd like this more than a normal engagement ring."

"So, Kyle. Will you marry me?",Tommy asked. Grin widening as he stared into the older teen's eyes. Glenda was watching him with a shocked expression. Not a bad one but still surprised. Her fork was halfway to her mouth as she watched him. It took him a moment to process what was being asked of him. And a second longer to form words. Flinging his arms around Tommy's neck as he kissed his cheek. A huge grin on his face as he answered,"Yes! I'll marry you!"

Tommy pulled him close as he hugged him. Glenda shouting with glee as she set her food on the coffee table. Hugging the pair as well as congratulating them. Now, they were going to be more like family than they were before. And absolutely nothing was going to get in the way of their happiness.
