Janet talked with her husband once they decided to talk in their room. That was also when Richard and Sara decided to come downstairs and they walked out to see the others as it looked like Crystal had beaten Mark at his own game. Joey was lost in thought though, she couldn't help it, but she found herself thinking about Brad. Was she crushing on him?
"Not so bad for an alien girl who's never played a video game before, huh Marky boy?" Crystal taunted the human boy.
Mark scoffed. "You totally cheated!"
"How did I cheat?"
"...Give me a minute, I'm working on it..."
Crystal chuckled, then saw their twin siblings. "Hey, guys, how was the computer?"
Richard smiled, slightly blushing. "Amazing..."
"Y-Yeah," Sara chuckled. "Quite spectacular. Um, where's Dad? I thought I heard his voice..."
"He's upstairs with Mom," Mark looked back at her. "Probably gonna have some 'nookie' before dinner."
"MARK!" Joey glanced at him, having known what that meant.
Mark looked back at her, his blue eyes widening. "What?"
Joey scoffed, rolling her spacious green eyes, she looked a lot like her mother whenever she did that.
"What...?" Mark narrowed his eyes at her, demanding she speak.
Joey looked to him with a smirk, then pretended to zip her lips and 'throw away the key' like she just locked her mouth up.
"Girls." Mark rolled his eyes.
"So, who won Donkey Kong?" Sara asked, seemed to be nervously fiddling with her glasses.
"I did, cuz of girl power," Crystal replied, nearly boasting, but not as much as Mark would if he had won the game. "Those monkeys are cute. Can we play again, Marky?"
Mark sighed. "You don't have to brag about it."
"Oh, like you wouldn't brag about being a winner, Markwell." Richard taunted.
Sara put a hand over her mouth, trying to stifle giggles due to that. It sounded funny to hear someone else call him that when she always did, especially since she was the responsible, rule-following twin.
"Something amusing, Sara Susan?" Mark taunted.
"Nuthin', Markwell Barry."
This made everybody except for Mark laugh. He just looked annoyed and angry as always.
A while later, Brad and Janet finally came downstairs. Joey looked over to Brad and blushed with a sweet smile to him again.
"Would you three like to stay for dinner?" Janet asked the alien children.
"Only if it's okay with you, Janet." Richard replied with a polite smile.
"It would be nice," Janet shrugged with a smile. "Plus roasts are really good for a big dinner. Do you guys eat roast?"
"We probably have," Crystal shrugged with a smile. "It'd also be nice to eat at the dining table our grandparents worked with."
Brad smiled. "Joey, would you like to sit at the head?"
Joey blushed at that question. "M-Me, sir?"
"Your father used to sit at the head of the table, probably because this is his castle and all," Brad shrugged with a smile, explaining from what he still remembered from that late November evening that never left his or Janet's minds, even after all these years. "So, would you like to?"
Joey nervously rubbed her shoulder and bit her lip as she looked at the Earthling she found attractive. "Well... If it's okay with you... Then... Yeah, I'll do it!"
Brad smiled and gently ruffled up her curly hair. "That'll be nice."
Joey sheepishly giggled. He touched her hair...
When it was closer to the time dinner would be prepared, Janet suggested they should all watch a movie to pass time. They put on a film called Tommy Boy which starred two of the best cast members on the variety show Saturday Night Live.
Even if some jokes flew over Crystal, Richard, and Joey's heads, it was still a lot of fun and they laughed at most of the physical humor. Mark and Sara really enjoyed this time with their parents, even if Mark didn't really want to admit it. When the movie was at the last 10 minutes, Janet saw that dinner was ready and she decided to wait until the movie was over to get everyone into the evening meal.
"Do you guys not have movie theaters on Transsexual?" Brad couldn't help but ask.
"No," Crystal shook her head. "We don't even have televisions... We just read... Play... Go to the beach... Attend conventions."
"Well, at least you don't have to worry about too much TV." Brad shrugged with a smile.
"Sara told me that too much television can rot your brain." Richard commented.
Sara smirked to him in which Mark rolled his eyes to.
"This is really funny though," Joey said in between her laughs when Tommy ran into another glass wall, but luckily not breaking it. "Does that guy do this all the time?"
"Yeah, he does," Mark chuckled, getting in a better mood once he paid back attention to the movie. "It's his shtick."
Crystal glanced to Mark a little sharply. "I believe your parents or uncle told you to never use that word."
"No Crystal, 'shtick'," Sara shook her head, understanding the miscommunication. "Shtick is a gimmick or a comedy routine some people have. Like Chris Farley, his gimmick is to fall down and hurt himself to make people laugh."
"And it totally works!" Mark blurt out with more laughter.
"Oh..." Crystal and Joey understood now.
"Wow, Sara, you're so smart," Richard smiled at the human girl. "You should be a teacher."
Sara blushed, smiling crookedly back at him. "Well, Daddy's a good teacher... Maybe since he filled Dr. Scott's shoes, I'll fill his as the next school teacher... Though, I feel myself more of a college professor type or maybe a mentor..." she gave a small shrug.
"That would be nice."
Sara turned even redder, trying to cover her face, she then got up and decided to quickly wash up in the bathroom. "Excuse me..." she said quickly.
Mark smelled dinner from in the room and decided to join his sister. With that, Richard, Crystal, and Joey were alone and finishing the movie with Brad.
"Would you three like hand sanitizer?" Brad took out a bottle.
The alien kids held out their open hands as Brad gave three squirts for them. They then rubbed their hands with each other and rubbed in the cleaning tool that was quicker than washing hands with soap and water.
"It's so nice to have some guests over for Sunday dinner," Brad stood up with a smile. "Your parents must be very proud."
"They are, sir..." Richard said, respectively.
"Yeah, I wish we could've brought a monitor with us so we could talk to them before bed, but I'm sure they'll understand..." Crystal added with a shrug.
"Well, when you go home, you can tell them all about it," Brad said, smiling back, he then went to the dining hall. "Meet us at dinner when your movie's over."
"Yes, Brad." the alien kids told him as he left.
The kids went to finish their movie. When they did, they found themselves satisfied and went to join the human family for their first evening meal on Earth.
"You like that Earthling..." Crystal said as they all walked in silence, after settling their laughter.
"What!?" Joey and Richard hiccuped.
"You, Richard," Crystal smirked to her brother. "You fancy Sara Majors..."
"What?" Richard turned bright red. "N-No, I don't! I don't love her! Love her... I mean l-like her..."
"You totally do... Doesn't he, Jojo?"
Joey had a smirk, playing along, she thought she was busted when Crystal proclaimed the love for an Earthling. "Yeah! You like her, Richard! You wanna marry her! Ricky has a crush on a human!"
"I do not!" Richard glared at the girls, his green eyes seemed very vibrant.
"You were upstairs with her on that computer thing for a rather long time..." Crystal smirked, patting her brother on his similiar silky blonde hair.
Richard turned red, then looked back at her. "What about you and Mark?"
Crystal scoffed, she then shut him up once they got to the dining room. Janet, Brad, Sara, and Mark smiled at them once they came in and the roast was served on plates with forks and knives. Joey smiled as she walked in and took a seat at the head of the table like she was invited to. Crystal and Richard glanced at the fizzy drinks they were going to be drinking with their meal.
"Umm... Janet?" Crystal observed her glass, questionably. "What's this?"
"It's cream soda," Janet replied with a smile. "I thought maybe you kids would like to try some."
"Yeah, it's very good." Sara agreed.
Mark also nodded in agreement as he eagerly drank some of his right away. The kids then happily tried some and got down to eating. The roast was beyond incredible, the mixed tastes and flavors dancing onto their taste buds. They may have all grown up in the old Queen Lavender's castle and had the best meals prepared for them, but it was nothing like this. The potatoes and carrots were a splendid addition, it was very sweet and juicy.
"Oh, my gosh..." Joey muffled while eating, she knew what her big sister was singing about having 'goody goods' in her tummy. "Janet... This is magnificent!"
"Thank you," Janet smiled. "It's an old family recipe."
"Could we have it?" Crystal asked. "If that's okay..."
Janet smiled, feeling very honored about that request. "Sure, Sara and I will write you a copy to take home with you."
Richard and Crystal smiled as they kept eating this rather exotic dinner and the sweet tastes that was cream soda.
"You must feel so lucky to have a good wife like her, Brad..." Joey said, smiling bashfully up to Brad.
"Hm?" Brad looked to her, then swallowed the food he put in his mouth. "Oh, yes... Very much. Maybe you'd like to try cooking yourself?"
Joey shrugged. "If the servants would let me... We live in Grammy Lavender's castle... But it's better since DePervy was exiled..."
Janet flinched. "DePervy?"
"His real name's DeLordy," Richard explained maturely. "He's the Queen's cousin and Frank's cousin once-removed. Before Frank was born, DeLordy was going to rule Transsexual."
"Ah..." Janet gave a nod.
"He also imprisoned me," Brad remembered now. "Back when everyone on Earth thought I was dead, the Queen kidnapped me and DeLordy made me into his slave."
"Oh, poor baby..." Joey pouted for him, hating to have heard that.
"You were also turned to become his bride and he called you 'Bunny'." Brad looked to the girl then.
Joey blushed once they shared eye contact together, but nodded and looked down softly. "The name was my idea... But, I remember you a lot better now... You helped Crystal and Richard save me before Riffy and Uncle Cosmo had to turn me back into a baby."
"Must've been a cute baby... You Transylvanians age a lot quicker than humans."
"Our pregnancies are short too," Crystal added in as she helped herself to another sip of cream soda. "Thank you so much for having us for dinner."
"It's our pleasure." Sara smiled, she seemed to smiler a little bigger to Richard, then covered it up by cutting more of her roast chunk before putting it into her mouth.
"Hey, Mom... Uhh, where are they gonna sleep tonight?" Mark asked about their guests. "'Cuz you know, I don't like to share."
Janet sighed, slightly rolling her brown eyes. "Yes dear... This place has plenty of rooms..."
"We'll get you settled after we're all done eating." Brad gave a nod as he finished off his potatoes and carrots.
The family and guests then finished their dinner so they could get to bed and then have the aliens leave in the morning.
