Kanto14: How would I not know?
Mother45: Aren't you going to take in Alex?
Kanto14: What do you think?
Mother45: Yes?
Kanto14: I don't know, that is the answer.
Mother45: I heard that Rene guy is searching for your location.

Mother45: I'm not getting anything out of you. Why?
Kanto14: I'm not in the mood.
Mother45: No, you miss Sabrina, don't you? Or do you pity leaving your son in the orphanage if you don't take him?

Kanto14: I wouldn't be talking.
Kanto14 signed off at 5:34 AM.
Days for Alex went slowly. He longed to have the loving support of his mother, and then he longed to not have those bugging twins around. Finally he burst into tears. Helena asked him what was the matter.
"I-I miss my mother!'' he sputtered. Helena tried to comfort him but it made Alex feel worse.
Rene came in and said,
"Alex – I found this in the mailbox. It is a letter for you.'' Alex took the letter and ripped it open. He read,
Dear Alex,
I have decided to let you stay with me until you want to be on your own. If you do not want to stay with me, you can stay with anybody you want. If you decide to stay with somebody else, please notify me. If you decide to stay with me, please meet me in Tokyo.
Matt
Alex decided he did not want to stay with his father. He decided to stay with Jean.
He sat down and wrote:
Dear Dad,
I don't want to stay with you but I want to stay with Jean.
Alex
He mailed it and its' reply was only one word:
Alright.
Jean was notified, and was ready for Alex.
When Alex arrived she greeted him.
Jean showed him his new room.
Afterwards Alex played his gameboy.
After a while he got bored in Jean's house. So he announced,
"Jean, can I live by myself?''
Jean was shocked at Alex and said,
"No, I say perhaps not. That reminds me – Lance and I are going to Tokyo next week. You'll have to stay with somebody else.''
Alex groaned. He ended staying with a girl about fifteen. She had nice, brown, wavy hair and Alex liked her at first sight. The two teenagers began to become friends. Then Alex began to flirt. Then they became boy/girl friends.
While in Tokyo, Jean and Lance – and you can probably guess whom they ran into first. Clumsy Matt.
"Excuse me,''
"Pardon,''
…. He was flying through the air and he was obviously in a hurry.
He bumped into Jean and Lance. When Lance turned to see where he was going, he noticed Matt's ears were red.
When Jean and Lance arrived back, Alex asked them,
"Can I go out on a date?''
"Who?'' they demanded.
"A girl named Jennifer,''
"I suppose…'' answered Jean thoughtfully.
So they went out on dates. Their friendship turned to love.
Finally, after Alex turned thirteen, he asked,
"Can I get married?''
Lance threw the newspaper down and thundered,
"NO! Thirteen is too young! Your father married too early! Had you too early! If I had the chance to raise him, I'd tell him he couldn't marry anybody until he was older! Young people can be such fools!''
"Is that so?'' a voice asked. Standing there was Matt.
Lance and the rest were mortified.
"The thing I'd really like to know is why you consider me a fool. Others you consider fools. There is nothing wrong about marring early. This is my son. You are raising him but he isn't your son. Since his mother is dead, I am the one left to decide whether he marries and when.'' Matt said.
"You were too selfish to raise your son,'' Lance tried to say, but it came out only in a small, quivering voice.
"No – I have another family out there.''
Alex was glad his father was on his side but he was rather surprised Matt was against his own parents.
Lance seemed to give up and knelt at Matt's feet.
"I give,'' he said.
Matt stepped on Lance's hands and said,
"Coward. I was hopeful that you would put up a fight.''
Lance quivered,
"Y-y-yes.''
Matt disappeared. Lance said Alex could have his wedding in two years.
After two years of waiting, Alex married Jennifer.
After another two years, their first child, Kathryn, otherwise known as Katie was born.
Alex knew very well he spoiled Katie. And he also knew that Katie had an uncle that was only five {Robert}. He also knew his father was now a grandfather.
After Katie was six, she ventured off, not watched by either parent.
Katie ran to Tokyo, which was only one mile away from her home.
She walked on the street, and she saw a boy. She was dazzled and loved him at first sight.
She could barely stop herself from walking near him. She had an urge to kiss him, but she held the urge back.
"Hi,'' she said sweetly, hoping he would like her too. The boy did not glance but he yelled to someone,
"Kevin, come over here!''
A six-year-old boy swooped down. Katie was surprised. Had she run into her uncles she had never seen before?
"What is your name?'' Katie asked the older boy.
"Robert,'' the boy said simply. Katie loved her uncle?! Katie was displeased with herself but she loved him anyway. She ran back home and was scolded by Jennifer for running off. She was sent to bed. This night she couldn't sleep. She thought about her relatives. She had a grandfather that she had never seen, she just saw her two never-seen-before uncles and she might see her never-seen-step-grandmother if she was able. After a few hours of thinking, she crawled out of bed and saw Alex on the porch, lying on the hammock. He was studying the melting sun and his eyes were concerned about something.
"Daddy,'' she whispered, as she stepped on the porch, "what are my uncles names?"
Alex turned and said,
"I think their names are Robert and Kevin.''
"How old are they?''
"I'm not very sure how old they are, Katie.''
"Can I ever see them?''
"I don't know where they live.''
He spread out a newspaper on his stomach.
"I think we've got our answer,'' he murmured.
There, on the bottom of the newspaper were births.
And there, they both saw:
Births
In Tokyo, a baby boy was introduced to the world on August 29th, 1992. Third son of Matthew and Isabella (Yuy) Larson, the boy is named Techi. His elder brothers, Robert and Kevin, are eleven and six. Relations:
Jean and Lance Larson (grandparents)
Alex, Kyle, Jacqueline Larson(step-siblings)
Serena and Samuel Yuy (grandparents)
Katie Larson (step-niece)
Andrew, Jacob, Yamacha Rell (cousins)
Katie enjoyed being listed on her new uncle's birth notice on the paper.
"Now go to bed,'' Alex reminded her, "because, tomorrow is your first day of school.''
Katie nodded and went to sleep.
On her first day of school, she eagerly talked on the bus. She sat next to girl with blonde hair named Becky.
Becky was very social too.
"Who's your granddad?'' Becky asked. "My granddad is the most famous golfer, Tiger Woods.''
"Mine's Matthew Larson, champion of guitarists,'' Katie proudly answered. A hush went through the bus.
During class everyone asked what it was like to be the granddaughter of the champion, could she give them an autograph, could she get her grandfather to give them a autograph?
The crowd finally settled down as soon as everyone knew she hadn't seen her grandfather ever before. The school was very famous and many students all over the universe went there. But then she saw Kevin! He would defiantly steal the crowd from her, since he was his son! Her blood broiled.
The following days were dreary and dull. Katie imagined about her beloved Robert.
"Katie!'' barked the teacher, "we do not day dream in my class.'' The class found this funny. Katie tried to laugh too, but it wasn't easy.
The next day she wrote on a piece of paper:
I love Robert. He is my sweetheart.
It dropped off her desk and fell on the ground.
Kevin, wearing funny-looking spinning glasses and wax lips was asked to go to the principal. He walked out of the classroom and Katie saw a smile on his face.
Just then, a boy named Lucas picked up the note Katie wrote and whispered to another boy. The news Katie liked Kevin's brother spread quickly. Katie was embarrassed.
After school, she silently followed Kevin. He stopped at a field and began to flash. He flickered and he was gone.
Days and days flew by. The first grade was dull and unexciting. Katie began to like Kevin. All her classmates knew her crush.
But nobody knew she was Kevin's niece and Kevin was a saiyan.
Finally the last day of first grade came. Kevin brought in a fake mustache and his famous (because he wore them almost every day) glasses. Also, wax lips, a game boy, and a bunch of balls.
After school, an old man greeted Katie.
"Ah… My great-granddaughter… I am your great grandfather, Lance. I am your father's father's father. Your mother is at the doctor. I will take you home.''
They loaded onto the car and were on the highway when they saw a convertible. Then, Katie saw Robert, Kevin, and little Techi inside the car. Then she saw Matt!
She yelled out of the car,
"You dumb idiots!''
Matt yelled out of his car,
"Who are you calling idiots? You?''
The two boys laughed and Robert yelled,
"You don't even know how to multiply!''
Another laugh and Katie yelled,
"Stop then and we'll have a contest who's the dummy around here!'' She told Lance to stop and the car stopped.
The four got out of the car and Matt said,
"Let's bring it on.''
Katie thought she was very good, so she said,
"Right on.''
"So, is this a math contest or spelling bee or whatever?" Robert asked, sunglasses on his nose.
"Uh… Geography.'' Katie said.
"Hey, make up questions here. But also, remember, I can't play, because I already know this stuff,'' he told Lance, and Lance said,
"Mmm… What is the longest river in the world?" Lance said.
"Uh… The creek behind my house?" Katie said.
"Nile,'' corrected Kevin.
After a long test, it was decided Robert came in first place, Kevin second, and Katie last. Matt snapped his fingers and the boys began to teleport, and the car, Techi, and Matt disappeared. But Matt did it a second too late. Katie grabbed the car at the last second! She was taken to her relatives' home, or so she thought.
She was taken near the hyperbolic time chamber! The car disappeared and Matt flew off.
Robert flew to a door; and Kevin followed.
