Okay. Let me just say that this story does not in any way have anything to do with any of my other stories. This Nico has absolutely nothing to do with the other Nico. Now back to the story…..
Zak fidgeted in his seat anxiously. He couldn't believe that he had a fourteen year old aunt. He looked over at the boy in the fighter pilot jacket and aviator sunglasses.
"This is so boring." Nico smiled.
"Yeah, I know." He pulled a deck of cards out of his pocket. "Wanna play blackjack?"
"Sure." And sure enough, Nico and Zak played blackjack for the next half hour until they reached the house. Doc landed the airship on the landing pad about a mile away from the house. Everyone steeped out, then Nico turned around.
"Well, this is my home. Now you have two options to get to my house; you can take a lovely stroll down the beautiful seashore path, or you can ride in the limousine." It was a unanimous vote for option number two. The limousine pulled up to a nice house surrounded by palm trees. As everyone was stepping out of the limo, a lady with dark brown hair stepped out of the house. Then she ran towards Nico and hugged him.
"Aw, baby, I was so worried! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine mom! Jeez." He turned to the Saturdays. "Mom, I'd like you to meet the Saturday family." Drew stepped forward and shook Nico's mom's hand.
"I'm Drew. It's nice to meet you."
"I'm Lisa. My son told me a lot about you over the phone. So your Christina's sister."
"Yeah." Suddenly, there was a sound of a jetpack in the distance. Then, Doyle landed right in front of the Saturday family and pushed Drew out of the way.
"Hi. I'm Doyle. I'm Christina's sister." Drew looked at him.
"Doyle, what are you doing?" He looked at her.
"I came to see my sister." Nico looked at him.
"I'm guessing that this is the idiot you told me about earlier, Drew?" Drew nodded as Doyle's jaw dropped.
"Hey! I am NOT an idiot! And I am not taking any lip from The Red Baron and Drewzilla here." Nico laughed.
"Dude, your just as funny as your sister said you were. A little full of yourself, but cool." Lisa nodded.
"There's coffee and cake in the house if you want to join us." The group started to head inside when they heard a noise. Nico quickly turned around and put his hand to his ear. There was another noise, like the sound of someone running into a bush. Nico spun around.
"I know that sound." Then suddenly, a girl jumped out and tackled him. Then she stood up.
"What's the score now, 27-15?" Nico stood up and brushed the dirt off of his jacket.
"26. The third floor assault doesn't, doesn't count. And by the way, you just blew it in front of your family." The girl looked over at Doyle and Drew. She was wearing jeans, a camouflage shirt, and a camouflage hat.
"Uh, uh, uh, well, um, well, um, well…………. Gee, this is awkward." Drew walked over to Christina, then they hugged. Doyle walked over.
"Well, I'm not much of a hugging person." Christina turned and started to hug him. "Okay. Your family. I guess your okay." Christina looked at the two of them.
"You guys look just like my parents in that photo. I mean, our parents." Drew smiled.
"You know, I kinda find it weird for my parents to give birth when they're that old." Christina smiled.
"Well, there's a scientific explanation to that; you see, when you were separated from your parents in the Himalayas, the craziest thing happened; they froze. Kinda like cryogenics. It's crazy, really. They eventually thawed out, and well, here I am." Drew thought about what Christina just said.
"Then, how would they be dead?" Nico raised his hand up.
"I, eh, may have lied about that last part. The truth is that they actually live on this island."
