Sorry for the wait. I've been busy with midterms and what not and several deaths in the family.

Reivin stirred in her bed as the sun light shone through the balcony of their room. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to stand up. Keyword is try, because she couldn't. Tala had his arms tightly around her waist.
She sighed.
"Tala?" she said softly.
Tala began to stir and opened his eyes. "What?" he asked groggily.
"Could you let go?" she asked.
"No, I like us like this. It's comfy."
"But I have to pee!"
Tala reluctantly let go of her and she ran to the bathroom. After she finished she looked over at Tala, who was still sleeping on the bed. She went outside and found Tara half asleep on the couch and Rei happily cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Reivin went over to Tara and sat next to her.
"Good morning." Reivin said as she turned on the TV. A rerun of an old cartoon called "Thunder Brothers" was playing on the TV.
"Morning." Tara said as she yawned. Rei was happily humming in the kitchen while he cooked what smelled like pancakes.
"How can he be so cheerful in the morning?" Reivin asked.
"I have no idea." Tara answered.
The door to Katana and Kai's room opened and out came out Kai. He was only wearing his dark blue boxers and his hair was all over the place.
The three people watched him as he went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and got the water out. He got a glass and poured some then turned to leave. He stopped right in front of his door and looked at Rei.
"Rei?" he said.
"Yeah?"
"The pancakes are burning." Kai said as he walked inside his room. Rei's eyes widened as he turned off the stove.
"My poor pancakes!" Rei said as he sat on a chair and slumped down. "They were so young! They were blueberry too! Why must the good die!"
"Rei, they're just pancakes." Reivin said as she stared.
"Yeah, let it go sweetie." Tara said as she also stared. She then turned to Reivin. "Why do you think Kai came out here anyway?"
"I don't know. But if what I think is right, you don't want to know." Reivin said as she laughed.
"Seriously, you've been hanging out with Tala too much. I know he's your boyfriend, but he's passing on the perverseness."
"Yeah, isn't that the truth." She said.
"That was an insult."
"Oh yeah!" Reivin said. "You're so mean Tara! How could you say that?"
"Why do I even try?"
"So…wanna go see Katana?" Reivin said as she stood up. Tara nodded an went to Katana's room.
They knocked on the door and heard someone standing up from the bed.
They opened the door. It was Kai.
"What?" he asked.
"Can we talk to Katana?" Reivin said.
"Come in!" Katana yelled and Kai let them pass. Katana was laying on her stomach on top of the bed, covered by a lot of blankets.
"Are you okay Katana?" Tara asked.
"Let's see; I'm in pain and my head hurts. Oh yes, I'm just peachy!"
Katana said sarcastically as she buried her face into the pillow.
"Okay Miss Sarcasm." Tara said as she rolled her eyes. "Point taken."
"So, what happened?" Reivin asked.
"Last night happened." Katana said as she groaned.
"Sooo…what happened?" Reivin asked again and Tara sweat dropped.
Tara gasped as she looked at Katana. "You did it, didn't you?"
Katana slowly nodded. Reivin looked confused and Tara's eyes widened. Kai said his usual "hn" and left the room and into the kitchen.
"Katana," Reivin said as she looked at her. "You really did "it"?"
"Does the word yes have any meaning in your head?" Katana said, her face still in her pillow.
"You're not supposed to do that!" Reivin yelled.
"Katana, did Kai force you into it?" Tara asked. Katana shook her head no.
"I agreed to it."
"Huh?" Reivin and Tara said at the same time.
"Well…"
(Flashback)
"Katana?" Kai said as he panted heavily. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes?" Katana said as she nodded.
"There's no turning back." He said.
"I know, but I want to." She said. "Ever since that thing in Russia with Tony, I've felt like I belonged to him. I want to belong to you Kai."
Kai kissed the top of her head in a caring way. "Okay, love you."
"Love you too."
(End of Flashback)
"So I agreed to it." Katana said as she sat up. She was wearing one of Kai's huge t-shirts.
"Well, as long as he didn't force you." Tara said.
"Sooo…." Reivin said as she looked at Katana. "How was it?"
"Reivin! You're not supposed to ask!" Tara said as she laughed.
"I bet you want to know too." Reivin said as she crossed her arms at Tara.
"That's true. So, how was it?"
Katana laughed. "Two words: Sex God."
The three of them laughed until there was a knock on the door.
"Breakfast is ready!" Tala yelled from outside the door. "And Rei managed not to burn the pancakes!"
"Tally!" Reivin yelled in excitement as she ran out the door. The other two girls blinked but followed Reivin out the door, just not as fast.
Katana and Tara stepped into the kitchen to find Rei serving pancakes,
Kai reading a book, and Tala giving Reivin a piggy back ride…oh yes, just a normal morning kitchen.
"Get off Reivin!" Tala said as he laughed.
"No! I want to ride my donkey some more!" Reivin yelled in a childish way.
"A donkey?" Tala asked as he looked at her. "Couldn't I be something like a horse, or a dragon, or a car, or something else?"
"It was either the donkey or the turkey."
"Not the turkey!" Tala yelled as he dropped Reivin and she fell on the kitchen floor.
"Tala! That hurt!" Reivin yelled.
"It's not my fault you made me remember the turkey incident!" Tala yelled back as he crossed his arms.
"Turkey incident?" Tara asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," Reivin said. "The turkey incident is what caused Tala to be afraid of turkeys."
"Hey! I despise turkeys; they are evil creatures that plan to kill me!" Tala yelled as he sat down.
"What happened?" Katana asked.
"You see…" Reivin started.
(Flashback) ((A/N the turnkey incident is not fictional. It did happen in Russia to my best guy friend Yuriy (was my fault just like in this..) and to this day he is terrified of turkeys…))
A ten year old Tala sat in the table of Reivin's backyard back in Russia. There was a party going on since it was thanksgiving. A lot of people had gathered at their house.
"Tala!" called a ten year old Reivin. "Come on Tala, mommy said she has a surprise for us!"
"Okay!" Tala said happily as he followed Reivin to where Reivin's mom was.
"All right kids! I have a present for you!" Reivin's mom said. "My husband and I got you all a real live turkey so you can play!"
She got a cage and inside was a turkey. The kids at the party stared at it as the mom released it. "Have fun kids!" with that, she left.
"Go touch it Tala!" Reivin told him.
"No way, it looks stupid." He said.
"Make it move!" Reivin said as she pointed at the turkey who was standing there, staring into nothingness.
"Fine." Tala said. He grabbed a nearby rock and threw it at the turkey.
The turkey got hit right in the head and instantly ran towards Tala. Tala's eyes widened as he ran and the turkey chased him around the backyard.
The turkey chased him out of the backyard and into the sidewalk. Since they lived in a street with a dead end, they were going around and around and around and around and around and around. The other kids laughing their heads off, while Tala ran away from the crazy turkey.
(End of Flashback)
"So, that's why Tala is afraid of turkeys." Reivin said with a smile.
"It's your fault I'm deadly afraid of turkeys!" Tala said as he pouted.
"So, you're afraid of turkeys because one attacked you?" Katana asked and he nodded.
"And because you provoked it by throwing a rock at it?" Tara asked and he nodded again.
"Hold that thought." Katana said as she started laughing and so did Tara. Rei was laughing too and Kai smirked and shook his head.
"It's not funny!" Tala yelled. "I had to go to therapy!"
That just made the others laugh more.
"Don't make fun of Tala!" Reivin said and they stopped a bit. "That's my job!"
"You're really supportive." Tala said as he sighed. He got a smirk on his face as he looked at Reivin. Reivin gulped.
"You wouldn't dare!" Reivin said as her eyes widened.
"Oh yeah?" he said as he came closer to her and everyone stopped laughing. He bent down and whispered into her ear, "Boo!"
"No! Don't do that!" Reivin said as she closed her eyes and Tala burst
out laughing.
"Did we miss something?" Rei asked.
"Well, Reivin is afraid of-" Tala started but didn't finish because Reivin covered his mouth with her hand.
Tala smirked and licked her hand. "Eww!" Reivin said as she wiped her hand on Tala.
"Tala, you're spit is nice and all but I don't want it on my hand!"
"-ghosts." Tala said as he smirked.
"Ghosts?" Kai asked with a raised eyebrow. Reivin blushed and kicked Tala in the shin.
"Ow!" Tala yelled. "Reivin is also afraid of rotten haunted spaghetti cans!" ((A/N No joke. Because of Yuriy I'm terrified of them shudders))
"Shut it!" Reivin yelled as she jumped on top of him.
"Reivin, its just spaghetti." Tara said as she sweat dropped.
"It's not my fault!" Reivin yelled as Tala was laying on the kitchen floor, Reivin sitting on his chest. "When we were little, one Halloween Tala told me this really scary story about a rotten and haunted spaghetti can!"
"Once upon a time there was a rotten and haunted spaghetti can. One day a little boy opened it. The smell was so bad, everyone in the world died. The end." Tala said.
"How is that scary?" Katana said as everyone else sweat dropped.
"I don't know, but I've never opened a can of rotten spaghetti ever since!" Reivin said proudly, still on top of Tala.
"And why are you afraid of ghosts?" Rei asked.
"Because Tala said that Damion was a ghost and he wanted to kill me!" Reivin said.
"Yeah, I was just kidding." Tala said.
"Well you could have said something before I attacked my own idiot brother with a vacuum cleaner!"
"But it was hilarious when you actually got his hand stuck in the tube thing." Tala said.
"Yeah, that's true…"
Everyone else sweat dropped.
"So, any ideas for today?" Tara asked.
"Let's go to the watery park!" Reivin said happily.
"The what?" Katana said.
"The watery park!" Reivin said again. "It's what I used to call it when I was little. It's better than what Tala called it."
"What did he call it?"
"The pee park." Reivin said.
"Why?" Katana asked.
"Every time I was there I felt the need to go pee." Tala said as he shrugged. Reivin got off him and he sat up.
"Let's just get ready!" Reivin said and all three girls ran to their own rooms, the boys also went to theirs.
