Note: This takes place after nine years. For info, refer to Episode 3. Also, this episode wad brought to you by FrancisVamp0822.
On a chilled Friday evening, T.K. lounged on his silk corner sofa, watching a 90's gangster movie. Although, it pays to be a successful professional skateboarder with a cozy, luxurious house, and a exquisite supercar, it's stunk having to wait around for new events to participate in. Earlier, T.K. tried to combat this by asking Krystal to a date for old times sake; he haven't seen her since he began his cross country skating trip a year ago. He still kept her updated on everything he did and achieved, but it wasn't the same.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
The knocking snapped the young man out of his bored daze. He got up and walked toward his front door. He opened the door, revealing Leni with a huge bag and a perky, huge grin. "Hi, Tee Kee! How's my favorite adopted brother? Please don't tell Linky that though," Leni greeted as she gave him a hug. T.K. smiled and returned the hug, patted her back.
"No worries, Leni. Besides, you said adopted; Lincoln's your blood brother," T.K. reminded. Suddenly, Leni pushed him away with a disgusted look on her face. T.K. tilted his head, "What's wrong, chica?"
"Ew, Tee Kee! Don't mention blood around me. What does that have to do with me and Linky?" Leni cringed at the information. T.K. chuckled and pulled her inside of his house. Ever since he knew her, Leni has maintained a great relationship with T.K. They rarely got into arguments, and T.K. even let her fix his hair. Even though, she puts bows or any hair accessories in his hair, much to his dismay.
"Just come in, girl," T.K. smirked as he plopped on the couch, and grabbed his soda. Leni took her time, admiring her brother's medium-sized condo. It had carpet floors, the kitchen counter was made of marble, and a state of the air toilet with a built in servant.
"Wow, Tee Kee. Your house is so nice. I wish my mansion were this nice," Leni remarked in awe. T.K. performed a glorious spit take from Leni saying the m word. He coughed violently as Leni ran over and patted firmly on his back. "Oh my gosh! Tee Kee, are you ok!? Do you need a doctor?" Leni worried.
T.K. finally finished coughing. "I'm ok. Pardon my French, but did you say a DAMN mansion!? When, and how!?" She only been a high profile fashion designer for about a year and a half; how the hell did she get a mansion!?
"One of my dresses sold for a least ten million dollars, or was it ten billion?" Leni questioned in a cute manner. Her said dress caused quite the ruckus online. When she first posted the picture of the dress online, it was under awkward lighting. Her online friends disputed over if the dress was green and red, or black and pink. Eventually, this caught the attention of celebrities, athletes, and even the president! This boosted her sales, and put Leni on the map as a distinguished fashionista.
"Uhhh, huh. Don't you think you're rushin' into things by buyin' a mansion?" T.K. proded in worry. Although, he was ecstatic that Leni was able to find success as well, but he was worried about any greedy males trying to leech off of her fortunes.
"Oh, pshaw, Tee Kee. I'm not rushing into anything because it would hurt me. Besides, Lori and my manager said that they will be keeping an close eye on my money. I hope that they won't get paper cuts from looking so close," Leni prayed, hugging herself. If any had a say on what Leni would do financially, it would be Lori.
"Oh, ok. Since you are here, wanna play that karaoke game that we were into when we were younger?" T.K. proposed as he exited out the Metube streaming channel.
Leni's eyes sparkled, "The one with our favorite song, and those cute characters?"
"Yep, that's the one," T.K. answered while booting up his game console.
"Fun!" Leni cheered, jumping up and down. T.K. chuckled as he selected his character, while Leni chose her character. He was kinda jealous that she had such a positive outlook on life, and took everything on with a smile. T.K. founded their signature song and selected it.
(Here's the song: watch?v=2LOUvMMjM_w)
A smooth calypso like beat started up, and T.K. began to bob his head. Leni followed suit, and began to sway her hips. As the music picked up tempo, T.K. stepped aside while Leni began the first verse.
Work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me I be work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
There's something 'bout that work, work, work, work, work, work
When you a gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me na care if me tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired
The in-game crowd started to love her accuracy and effort she put into the words. Leni may not have the singing abilities like Luna, but you gotta respect her enthusiasm.
Dry! (...me a desert)
Nuh time to have ya lerkin'
Him ago act like him nuh like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nuh body touch me in the righteous
Nuh botha, text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams, adoration
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to give me
Something that I never had...
Something that you've never seen...
Something that you've never been...
Leni was having the time of her life, and the crowd is really rooting for her. "Whoo, that's my girl! Keep going, chica!" T.K. cheered, clapping and whistling.
(Mmmmm)
But I wake up and act like nothing's wrong
Just get ready fi...
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
He said me haffi
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)

(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
Ner ner ner ner ner ner!
When you a guh ner ner ner ner ner ner
Before the tables turn turn turn turn turn turn
Leni danced cutely: pirolettes, jumping, and can-can like kicks. At this point, the crowd was going nuts at the performance of the song.
Beg you something please
Baby don't you leave
Don't leave me stuck here in the streets (uh huh)
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true

(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
When you ah guh
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Meh nuh cyar if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Leni stepped aside to let T.K. do his verse. T.K. slid smoothly in front of the screen. The crowd is cheering on for him as he began…
Yeah, okay
You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don't give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I don't wanna rush into it, if it's too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I'm way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me, oh
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
How many more shots until you're rollin'?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
Now you need to forward and give me all the...
Leni jumped into T.K.'s grasp as they both danced happily, laughing and just cutting loose. T.K. spun Leni away with one hand still grasping hers. He spun her back to his face, sharing a look of giddiness with each other. T.K. let go of her and they both sang the chorus…
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
He said me haffi
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
He see me do mi
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So me put in
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
When you ah guh
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Meh nuh cyar if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
(Mmmmm, mmmmm...)
(Mmmmm, mmmmm...)
(Work, work, work, work, work, work)
(Mmmmm, mmmmm...)
The crowd exploded into glass breaking cheers as T.K. and Leni hugged each other tightly. "Whee, they loved us Tee Kee! They loved us, they loved us, they loved us!" Leni exclaimed in happiness. They hugged once more. "Can we sing some more, pleeeeeease?" Leni begged like a child.
"Alright, one more song because I'm heading to the movies afterwards. You can come if you want," T.K. allowed. Leni nodded as T.K. selected another song for them to sing.
At the movie theater…
"The hell you mean that The Quick and The Pissed 7 is sold out!?" T.K. demanded in anger. He's a long time fan of the series since he watched the first movie. He went into a mild depression after hearing one of the main actors had died. Meanwhile, Leni was looking at various movie posters in order to find what movie to watch.
The ticket boy shrugged. "I'm sorry, sir. There are other movies for you to watch though." T.K. sighed and rubbed the sides of his head. He wasn't going to get nowhere badmouthing the ticket boy. Leni finally found the movie that she wanted to watch. She walked over to T.K. to let him know.
"Tee Kee! I found a movie! Come have a look," Leni ordered as she grabbed his arm. The ticket boy damn near had a heart attack from witnessing such beauty. He leaned out of the booth with a bouquet of flowers that he had for some odd reason.
"Oh, mama. Hey, miss wanna come with me over to the burger place later tonight," The ticket boy flirted with a sleazy smile. He didn't get far as T.K. pushed him back into the ticket booth with one finger.
"Uh uh! Keep it in your pants, pizza face! Now, what movie you have in mind, chica?" T.K. pried curiously. He let her lead him to the poster. The poster was a huge cruise ship that was sinking in the Arctic Ocean. In the foreground, a woman was hanging on a piece of the ship for dear life as a lifeboat sailed towards her. "The Colossal HD? Ain't this the four hour chick flick that your mom dragged you dad to back in the day?" T.K. questioned with a bored expression on his face.
Leni nodded. "Yeah, but this had the deleted scenes, and the blooper reel. Can we watch it, please?" She put on her best puppy dog eyes. T.K. chuckled and agreed to her proposition.
"I guess, Leni," T.K. answered in boredom. Leni put on a stern, but cute look. She placed her hands on her hips in a motherly manner.
"Now, Tee Kee: don't judge a book by its cover. You might actually like it," Leni persuaded. First, she got a mansion, and now she's somewhat insightful as Lori. What's going on here, seriously!?
"Alright. Let's watch it," T.K. agreed reluctantly. He would at least four hours of sleep from this ordeal.
Four hours later...
"Bravo, bravo! Ah huh, huh, huh, huh, huuuuuh!" T.K. weeped in happiness. He stood up clapped rapidly. He tried his best to sleep through the movie, but Leni brought themselves a medium-sized box of nachos. He tried to resist the calls of the melted cheese siren, but it was no use. During the movie, the main character, a female, goes aboard a so called indestructible cruise ship. Along the way, she meets a guy, and they hit it off. As for the end of the movie, the female protagonist's crush sank down to the cold, dark Arctic Ocean. She cried as a lifeboat was coming towards her, thus the movie ends.
"That, was, so, SAD!" Leni bawled as she blowed her nose. The lights came back, signaling that the showing is over. The brother and sister exited out of the theater.
"Hm, that was actually a great movie, Leni. I should really listen to you more often," T.K. remarked, nugging her. Leni gasped happily as she turned towards T.K.
"Really?" Leni pried in hopefulness. T.K. nodded in response. "EEE! Thank you, T.K. It really does mean a lot to me coming from you," Leni expressed. She pulled T.K. into a tight hug.
"Hm, no problem, chica," T.K. responded in mild confusion. He was used to Leni's vice grip like hugs, but he was confused that something as simple as her advice being considered positively helpful is easily the best thing she have ever heard. Then again, this is Leni we're talking about. He shook it off as he let go of her.
On the way home…
Leni looked through the passenger window, seeing the various buildings pass by as she's uncharacteristically quiet for some reason. T.K. is even more confused about her behavior. She would usually talk his ear off about the movie, but there's something bugging her.
"So, I thought the movie was dope. What did you think, Leni?" T.K. began. He had to break the ice somehow. Leni perked up and turned towards him.
"Oh, the movie was great, but…Tee Kee. I have a serious question to ask," Leni stated. Now, T.K. was getting somewhere, but the question would probably be like what colors are in this season, or what fabric is selling like hotcakes. Nevertheless, T.K. is willing to help her.
"Am I an, like, idiot?" Leni asked bluntly. T.K. didn't see that coming. Looking straight ahead on the road, T.K. sighed as he thought of a significant answer to say. Leni gazed at him with a worried expression, waiting on his answer. There were many people that T.K. would never lie to; Krystal and Leni were a special case considering that.
"Well, you do have your…moments," T.K. answered honestly, taking note of Leni's discouraged expression. "But that doesn't mean that you are a full blown idiot, now. For example, your kindness usually overcomes your lack of intelligence," T.K. explained as he steered the F5 around a corner. Leni wasn't convinced at all.
"But you, Lori, Lincoln, and everyone else see that I, like, mess up the most simple things. I keep trying to tell them that there's more up here than air, but it feel like I'm lying to myself. It's so…so…so. Oh, what's the word?" Leni pried, frustrated at thinking for the right word.
T.K. raised an eyebrow, "Stressful?"
"Yes! Stressful, it's so stressful! …See, I can't even find the right word to say," Leni moped, shrinking to a little ball. It hurt seeing the girl like this, but T.K. wasn't about to give up.
"Leni, when Lincoln, me, and Clyde got lost in the forest for our real man retreat; whose advice kept us alive and warm when Lincoln made us three those ponchos out of poison oak?" T.K. recalled with a knowing smile.
Leni looked up from her knees, "Me?"
"Who knew that the right thing to do in a house wide epidemic is to stay and care for the sick?" T.K. recalled for the second time.
"Me!" Leni responded, perking up in her seat.
"Now, who knows the secret to a perfect smile," T.K. asked jokingly.
"Me!" Leni shouted, throwing her hands in the air. Hands that almost made T.K. swerve off of the road. T.K. yelped as he wrestled the car back on the road.
"Ah, Leni! …Now, see? You do have some knowledge in that little noggin of yours," T.K. remarked, booping her head with his finger.
Leni giggled in response from the touch. "Yeah, I guess your, like, right," She reached over from her passenger seat to hug T.K. "Thanks, Tee Kee," Leni expressed. T.K. pulled into his driveway, and put the car into park. They exit the car, proceeded to the front door. After opening the front door, T.K. walked in while Leni followed him.
"Alright, I'm heading to bed. The guest room is across from the bathroom. Good night," T.K. yawned as he entered his room, and closed the door. Leni watched as he turned in for the night.
"Good night, Tee Kee," Leni replied, also yawning as well. She walked down the hallway and look towards the left. Through the darkness, she can see the vague appearance of a toilet, which means that's the bathroom. She turned to her right, and walked into the guest room.
Early the next morning…
Ah, sleep. The best thing for T.K. to do is to sleep. Now that he had no school to worry about, he could sleep until noon for all he cared. Nothing could ever disrupt his sleep. Nothing at al-
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
…Except for a twenty four year old woman screaming bloody murder. Said screaming that sent T.K. leaping out of the bed, slamming face first on the carpet floor. Groaning, T.K. got up, and groggily lumbered towards the guest room. He opened the door to…Leni sitting on top of the head rest with a petrified look on her face. She wore a turquoise nightie, which made it hard for T.K. to focus.
"Ugh, what's wrong, Leni?" T.K. asked tiredly. Pointing a shaking finger, Leni pointed down on the floor. A wolf spider was standing there, looking innocent. "Oh, a spider. Well, let me handle this," T.K. reassured. He kept an eye on the spider as he sidestepped towards the closet. He opened the door and grabbed a shoebox.
Slowly, he crept towards the spider. "Alright, spider. Just come to the box, and no one, preferably you, gets hurt," T.K. promised, reaching out to the spider. The spider just kept looking at him. T.K. lowered his face towards the spider's height, "Hey, you got blockage in your ears, fool!? Get into the damn box!" T.K. demanded as the spider leaped on his face.
SPLAT!
"GEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" T.K. shrieked, his octave rivaling Leni's. He ran across the room, patting and smacking himself rapidly. The spider crawled all over his body before stopping at his crouch. Leni grabbed her shoe and aimed towards T.K.
"Help is on the way, Tee Kee!" Leni reassured. She reared her arm to throw her shoe. T.K. realized what's she is about to do, and began swinging his arms left and right.
"For the love of God, Leni! Please don't!" T.K. begged in pure fear. Leni was too focused on vanquishing the eight eyed demonic surveillance camera. She heaved the shoe with the speed and might of a major league pitcher, which is surprisingly terrifying. The spider leaped off in the nick of time to witness…
PING!
"AHHHH, mama mia!" T.K. shrieked, dropping to his knees and clutching himself. Leni leaped from the headrest with a scared look. She hoped that she didn't hurt T.K.'s no-no area, and killed the spider. In the midst of this, the spider made its escape by crawling through a mouse hole.
"Tee Kee, are you ok? Also, did I killed the spider?" Leni asked, cautiously looking around the room for the eight legged beast. Groaning, T.K. sat up on his bottom, and gave her a wide, false smile.
"Yeah, you got 'em alright!" T.K. lied, patting her on back.
"Yay, I did it!" Leni cheered, raising her arms in the air. T.K. gave a disgruntled look to the reader.
That afternoon…
KNOCK! KNOCK!
T.K. proceeded to stand up from the couch to answer the door. Leni looked on curiously as T.K. opened the door. Krystal smiled brightly at him. She lost a considerable amount of weight from working out throughout high school. She wore a cobalt blue keyhole sweater, gray leggings, and cobalt blue ankle high heeled boots. Since spending time with T.K., she became more outspoken and refused to be anyone's doormat. As for what she does, she helps her father with his restaurant that he opened when she first moved to Royal Woods. She squeezed her boyfriend in a tight hug, snuggling into his chest.
"Oh, Terri. It's so good to see you again," Krystal gushed. T.K. blushed heavily as he gave his girl a good look all over.
"Likewise, love. You really do look great, Krys," T.K. complimented, admiring her entire body. He didn't realize that she made that much of change.
"Thank you, honey. …Leni, is that you!?" Krystal asked, looking around T.K. Leni squeed and rushed towards her. She squeezed Krystal in a huge hug. Krystal wheezed from her strength.
"It's so good to see again, Krysie!" Leni chirped, increasing her strength. Poor Krystal was turning blue from lack of air. T.K. tapped Leni's shoulder, letting her know about Krystal's situation. She lets go of her, "Sorry! Kinda, like, didn't know my strength."
"It's ok, Leni; however, it's really great to see you though," Krystal reassured as she dusted herself off with a kind smile. When she was younger, Krystal would often ask Leni and the other Loud sisters about what T.K. said about her; it was often great things he would say about her. One talk in particular was about her being overweight. T.K. was worried that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her. In fact, this is what jumpstarted her workout regime.
"Oh, I have an idea: why don't I cook for you two?" Leni revealed with a hopeful smile. T.K. smirked, while Krystal looked on curiously.
"Cook for us? Oh no, Leni, that's not really necessary for you," Krystal informed while Leni walked towards the kitchen. T.K. gently grasped her shoulder in a calming manner.
"Honey, relax. She knows what she's doing. Besides, I don't feel like going out today," T.K. explained, rubbing her shoulder.
"I'll take your word for it, sweetie," Krystal agreed, grabbing T.K.'s hand.
Thirty minutes later…
Leni walked to the living room with a platter of cookie sticks and chocolate sauce. She came up with the delicious creation by skewing cookie dough with shish kabob sticks and baking them; the chocolate sauce is just a bonus. She placed the plate on the table. "Ok, dig it! There's plenty to go around!" Leni exclaimed, feeling proud of herself.
"It's dig in, chica. Also, thanks," T.K. corrected, grabbing two sticks. Krystal grabbed one stick and inspected it. She looked towards Leni, who was looking at her with a smile. Krystal dipped the stick in the chocolate, raised close to her mouth, took a bite. Her eyes widened as a beautiful flavor explosion erupted her taste buds.
"Hmmm! This is so good! You really have knack for this, Leni!" Krystal complimented, dipping her stick back in the sauce. Leni beamed with pride from the praise.
"Thanks! Cooking is really similar to sewing, what with the burns and stuff," Leni expressed. After she said that, she look towards the wall behind T.K. The dastardly spider was back again for round two. Leni screamed, but she muffled it. T.K. and Krystal looked towards her with confused looks; Leni simply grinned and waved. The couple returned eating as Leni grabbed the nearest thing close to her (a bat). The spider crawled to T.K.'s back. Leni raised the bat up high, "Die, icky spider!"
THWACK!
"Ah, my back!" T.K. cringed as he flopped to the ground. The spider leaped onto the bowl. Leni swung again, splattering the chocolate all over the wall, and the T.V. The spider flew from the bowl, and landed on the patio door. Krystal looked on the mayhem with a shocked expression. Leni reared back for another swing.
"Leni," T.K. growled, standing up. He pushed his back, which emitted a loud cracking sound.
CRASH!
Leni effortlessly broke the glass as the spider leaped onto the T.V. "Leni," T.K. repeated darkly. He slowly walked towards her. Leni reared for another shot, and she swung…
GRAB!
T.K. caught the bat with one hand while the spider retreated to a corner. "Leni! What has gotten into you!?" T.K. demanded angrily. He pulled the bat away as Leni put on a scared look.
"Sp-sp-spider. L-look on the T.V.," Leni instructed with a shaking finger. T.K. looked towards the T.V.; the culprit was nowhere to be found. He looked back at her with a unamused glare.
"Is this some kinda of joke? That friggin' thing escaped through a mouse hole, earlier this mornin'! Leni, I hate to say this, but I thinking that the others are right about you being a you-know-what," T.K. revealed as he looked away from her. Leni gasped as tears began to swell in her eyes.
"T-Tee Kee, you don't…m-mean that do y-you?" Leni whimpered desperately, taking a step forward. T.K. couldn't bare to look towards her heartbroken face. He put a hand out, stopping her in her tracks.
"Leni…I think it's best for you to leave," T.K. demanded quietly, not trying to explode at her. Leni again tried to take another step.
"Tee Kee, p-please-"
T.K. pointed at the door, "NOW!" Leni finally let the dam break as she dashed to guest room. She cried loudly as she quickly grabbed her things and placed them in her bag. Wiping the runny mascara from her face, she ran out of the room, across the living room, and out the front door. T.K. sat at the couch, clutching his head in his hands. Krystal looked towards the corner where the spider was, and she walked towards it. The spider curled to itself out of fear. Krystal crouched down to it.
"Hey there, pequeno amigo. I bet you are really scared from what happened. Come here, I won't bite," Krystal persuaded, sticking her hand out. The spider looked at her for a long time before finally coming towards her. It climbed on top of her hand as she stood up. She walked towards the broken patio door, and let the spider go free with a smile. She turned towards T.K. with an irritated look. "Terri, do you think you were hard on Leni?" Krystal questioned as she sat down next to him.
"Baby, not now. I'm not in the mood," T.K. groaned, rubbing his temple soothingly. Krystal refused to let this one go; it wasn't like for T.K. to blow up at his sisters, especially Leni.
"Yes, NOW! How could you yell at poor Leni like that!? She could be going through something terrible and she possibly needed you beside her!" Krystal predicted unknowingly. T.K. sighed as he raised his head, and looked towards her.
"Well, you aren't too far from the answer, hun," T.K. remarked tiredly. Krystal's glare softened to a curious look.
"What? What do you mean, Terri?" She proded. Over the next ten minutes, T.K. filled her in about the conversation he had with Leni the night before. "Umm hmm. Then that settles it. You have to apologize, Terri. No ifs, ands, or buts!" Krystal demanded earnestly. T.K. could try to argue against her, but that would put even more on his plate.
T.K. thought about this: Leni could forgive him after yelling at her, or Lori and the others could get a wind of what happened, and try to keep him away from her. "Hmm, you have a point, but what about the spider incident?" T.K. asked in confusion.
Krystal held his hand, "Mel, there really was a spider. It went to the corner after you stopped Leni from smashing your T.V. I scooped it up, and set it free through the patio door. Now at the subject at hand, I'm willing to come with you if you're willing to owe up to your mistake." She knew that T.K. knew that she wouldn't lie to his face. T.K.'s demeanor brighten instantly as he stood up with a determined look.
"You're right! Let's make some amends! Also, thank you for helping through this, doll," T.K. expressed in gratitude. He gave her a kiss on the lips and ran to the door. Krystal followed after him with a smile.
"Glad to help, querida," Krystal winked as she and T.K. exit through the front door.
Thirty minutes later…
"I still can't get over the fact that she got a freakin' mansion," T.K. retorted in awe. He and Krystal were outside of the gates of Leni's mansion. Her mansion was huge compared to T.K.'s condo. It had pillars in the front, and huge windows all over the place. T.K. opened the gate, and the two proceeded inside. They traveled up the long driveway to the large front door. T.K. tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "Hmm, time to pull out my trump card," T.K. stated cockily, pulling out a bobby pin.
Krystal tilted her head, "A bobby pin? How is that going to work, Terri?" She knew her boyfriend is a sharp man, but using a bobby pin to unlock a mansion door is pushing it. T.K. gave her a knowing glance.
"Dear, you'd be surprised of the amount of stuff that I unlocked in the past," T.K. predicted, wiggling the pin around until…
CLICK!
"Voila, entrance has been achieved," T.K. gloated as he stood aside, letting Krystal go first. She walked inside, giving him a thankful smile. The mansion looked even bigger on the inside: the floor was half marble and carpet, a fireplace was beside the T.V., and a vending machine full of health food. T.K. and Krystal held each other in comfort, hearing loud whimpers and sniffles in the distances; the darkness wasn't helping either. "Ok…let's get this over with befo-"
CLAP! CLAP!
CLICK!
The couple shielded their eyes from the sudden change in lighting. T.K. opened his eyes to Lori, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily standing right before them in front of Leni's room. Boy, they were pissed. "Oh…shit. So close!" T.K. thought nervously, clearing his throat. "Ladies, how y'all doin' this fine evening?" T.K. greeted with a wide smile. Krystal stepped back a little so she wouldn't be in the crossfire.
Lori gritted her teeth, "Hello…Terrence." The pure venom in her voice could easily spell the upcoming doom for T.K.
T.K. dropped the act, and held his hands. "Ok, I messed up. Everyone messes up every now and then. Please give me a chance to fix this?" He hoped that the girls would go easy on him.
"So that you could put down Leni even more?" Lynn growled. They were going to let him have it.
T.K. rolled his eyes, "It's not even like that, Lynn. Again, let me go talk to her, please?" He isn't leaving until he fixed this.
"No way, T.K.!" Lola and Lana responded angrily.
T.K. closed his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "Girls, this is the last time I'm asking nicely. PLEASE…let me see Leni!"
"No!" All of them shouted. T.K. doesn't have the time to deal with this. He cracked his knuckles, and snapped a crook out of his neck.
"Fine, have it your way!" T.K. glared, stepping forward towards Leni's room. Lori decided to challenge him.
"And where do you-What the!? Hey, put me down!" Lori demanded. T.K. slid his arms underneath her armpits and lifted her out of the way. He placed her softly beside him as he does the same to Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily. With a smirk, T.K. proceeded to the room. Not before poking his head for one more jeer at his baffled sisters.
"Tip of the century: don't try to stop a man that can bench press two sixty."
In Leni's room…
Various tissues were scattered all over the place as Leni cried to herself in despair. She wasn't coping with the fact that one of her brothers basically called her an idiot. T.K. opened the door quietly, and entered the room. Leni didn't noticed him as she was still crying. T.K. sighed to himself, shaking his head to all that he caused. "This is going to be difficult. For Leni!" T.K. thought in determination, clearing his throat. Leni looked up towards him with wide eyes. At least, he got her attention. "Hey…sunshine. How's it…goi-"
SQUEAK!
He was assaulted by various stuffed animals that Leni is throwing at him. "Go away! This is all your fault, T.K.!" Leni shrieked. T.K. sighed as Leni continued her barrage. She finally ran out plushies as T.K. sat down on her bed.
"Did that helped?" T.K. asked with a deadpan tone. Leni only answered by scooting away from him. "At least, she wasn't packin' bricks," T.K. thought in relief. "Leni, I want to say…I'm sorry for calling you stupid. It was completely inconsiderate of me to do that," T.K. apologized. He knew that it was a shit apology, but he had to start somewhere. Sadly, his predictions were right as Leni's glare hardened.
"That's it!? That's all that you have to say!? Terrence, that was the most saddest excuse of an apology that I ever heard, and that's coming from me. Do you REALIZE how…h-how…h-how fucking hard to ignore what I have to hear EVERYTIME that I mess up!?" Leni screamed in pure anger. T.K.'s eyes widened; he had never heard a f-bomb from Leni. In fact, he had NEVER heard her curse in general. Leni glared supernovas at T.K. as he regained his composure.
"No, I haven't. I can care less about what people say about you," T.K. answered, taking note of Leni, who about to explode in rage. He lifted his finger, silencing her, "But I do care that you are one of most kind, sincere girl that I ever know. You are that one diamond upon millions upon millions of coal of this world. If I had the choice of picking your personality or someone else's personality like Lucy or Lisa: I would pick yours every damn time, girl." Leni's glare devolvedto a look of skepticism, and then finally a calm, blank look.
Taking note of her look, T.K. decided to pull his final attempt. "Still not convinced?" He stood up and put one hand in his pocket; he patted his cheek firmly. "Hit me. Use that anger pented from every insult and jeer that you heard, and take it out on me. If you still feel pissed at me afterwards, then I just leave. You don't have to hear a word from me again," T.K. promised, putting his other hand in his pocket.
Leni stood up slowly as T.K. closed his eyes. She looked down to her clenched fist. Gritting her teeth, she reared back.
Meanwhile, T.K. was mentally sweating bullets, "Pleasenotmynuts, pleasenotmynuts, pleasenotmynuts!" It felt like an eternity as T.K. let fate decide. Fate decided that he was punished enough as Leni gave him the biggest hug she could manage.
"Awwwwwww, Tee Kee! You really let yourself be pummeled by me for the sake of our relationship, and for my sake too?" Leni squeaked happily, snuggling his cheek. T.K. let go of a big breath that he didn't even know that he held.
"Uh, yes. You were really upset, and I had to do something. Since I was the one that cause it after all," T.K. reminded, returning a squeezing hug as well.
"Honestly, only a dummy would do that. A sweet, bold, considerate dummy," Leni remarked with a coy smile. The heartwarming moment was ruined by the door opening, Lori, Krystal, and the others falling on the carpet. T.K. and Leni rolled their eyes in humored disbelief.
"I swear that they're going to be the death of me," T.K. thought in amusement. Krystal was the first to get up from the pile. She ran up to T.K. and Leni.
"I'm so proud of you, querida!" Krystal remarked happily, smooching him on the cheek.
Lori walked up them with a smile, "I'll admit, T.K. You literally screwed up, but you manage to man up and fix everything. Although, I feel that you weren't punished enough."
"Yeah, don't think you're getting out of this scot free, buddy boy," Lola warned with a cheeky grin. T.K groaned as Leni looked curiously.
"Scott? Who's Scott? Is that a friend of yours, Lola?" Leni pried as Lola face palmed herself.
T.K. rolled his eyes, "Nevermind that, Leni." He turned towards Lori and Lola with a unamused look. "What? I suppose that you all wanted an apology dance for Leni." They all nodded in response. "Let me guess; I suppose that you want me to dance in a thong too?" T.K. tempted, rubbing his temple.
Luna pulled something out a drawer, "Well, what do ya know, dude. A pair of man panties!" She held a navy blue thong, shaking it in the air. T.K. took one good look before breaking away from Leni, and walking to the doorway.
"NOPE, nope, nope!" T.K. exclaimed, walking out of the room. Sadly for him, he didn't get far as everyone sans Krystal dogplied him, and dragged him back to Leni's room.
"Oh no, T.K. You're not leaving until we get one dance," Lynn reminded with a smirk. T.K. sighed as he turned his head towards the reader.
"You still there? Well, if you excuse me, I apparently have one more apology to do. So…bye," T.K. deadpanned as Lana shut the door. Giggling can be heard from the inside.
