It was in this moment that Stinkie had poked his head through the wall and spotted the disaster before it happened. "WHAT DA HEE-HAW?!!? DAAAAHH!!" He screamed as he quickly dashed in front of Azriel. Both of his arms stretched out to catch him before he slammed into the wall. "OOOFFF!!" In a matter of seconds both Stinkie and Azriel had slammed against he wall of the Manor, luckily for Azriel though, Stinkie cushioned his impact. "Hnnggh...yeeh..." The poor specter groaned as he sank to the ground.
"Haha!! Hey Dad!" Azriel excitedly jumped up to his feet and laughed as he grinned. "Didja see? Didja?? I flew I flew!! I was like...VROOOOM and then WOOOSH!!!" Happily he spun around on his heels as he motioned with his arms.
"Yea'... I ...saw alright..." Stinkie snerked and rubbed his head a little. Quickly he shook his head and floated back up and folded his arms as he stared down at his son. " WHAT DA 'ECK WERE YA THINKIN?!" Although the shouted he didn't sound at all angered, more so worried than anything. "Y'coulda killed ya self! Y'scared da life right inta me again! Jus' look at dis...!" Grabbing his ectoplasm Stinkie opened it up to a black space where a heart appeared and was beating about a thousand miles a minute. "I'd rather ya didn' on ya boithday. Especially not when y'got all dat cake an' ice cream waitin'!" A chuckle formed from him as he ruffled his sons hair.
"Sorry..." Azriel's eyes trailed to the ground. "I just wanted to fly..." His feet shuffled as he now felt bad that his father wasn't impressed with it.
"Y'wanna fly 'ey...?? Hrmn... Well.. Why didn' ya say so??" With a laugh Stinkie grabbed him up by his armpits. "Alright we need fuel, gimmie ya best blast kiddo!!" A grin formed as he waited for his son.
"Yes sir!! FUEL READY!" The boy laughed as he literally farted. " Hahaha...hehehe.."
"Dat's my boy!! And...NOW y'got lift-off!!" In seconds Stinkie thrusted himself and Azriel into the air taking off down the halls. Stretch and Fatso who'd watched this from the side just shook their heads. It was bad enough to have one Stink-Pit but, two...? Oy. The things their brother decided to teach that kid was beyond them. Though afterwards they both smiled, it was nice to see their brother this happy. As Stinkie and Azriel flew through the Manor the both of them laughed loudly. "Woooowhoo!" Azriel cried out again as he spread out his arms lightly.
Having morphed on a helmet, some goggles and a bomber jacket Stinkie grinned as he pulled his son closer to him. "Securin' da cargo an' ready fa stunt flyin' Numbah 1!" When he finished his statement he then started spinning through the halls. "An' PLEASE, keep all body parts in da ride, an if y'wanna release body fluid, make sure y'got a target!" The ghost cackled.
"HAHAHA! No way!! I LOVE THIS!!" Azriel closed his eyes as they spun around and he laughed. The kid enjoyed the feeling of the wind as it blew through his hair.
When the two of them turned around the corner of the hallway, they managed to knock both Kat and Casper off to the side by accident. "WAAAH! " Kat cried out having not expected that. "W-what the heck!? YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL YOU IDIOT!!"
Casper arched up his eyebrows feeling scared for his cousin at this point. Stinkie was going awfully fast with him through those halls. "I'll get 'im.." He looked at Kat and started after Stinkie quickly. "UNCLE STINKIE!!" He shouted to get his attention as he approached his uncle as quickly as he could. "Y-you should slow down!! Aren't you worried about hurting him!?! Y-you might hit him into a wall by accident or something!!"
"Caspah, I've been flyin' dese halls fa CENTURIES!! An' not jus' dat, but goin' through dem since it was built. I think I know what I'm doin'." Stinkie's eyes narrowed at his nephew who now annoyed him.
"You're so Irresponsible! What if he cracks his head open and...!" But before he could finish Casper was cut off by Stinkie.
"'Ey, Look bulb head I appreciate ya concern! But if y'wanna play Family, Go make yer own wit Kat! It's 'bout time anyways." He grinned evilly and looked to Azriel. "ACCELERATION KIDDO!!"
"Yes Captain!" Concentrating Azriel swallowed some air and focused as he belched nice and long into Casper's face.
"D-Dat's my boy...!" Sniffling proudly Stinkie pushed them forward as poor Casper just floated there.
The poor boy just dropped to the ground and grabbed his throat as he tried to breathe again. That kid sure had some foul breath like his father. Kat who'd done her best to catch up to them finally managed to get to Casper. "C-casper are you ok?? What happened...?" Concernedly she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"A-augh, M-my cousin is...d-definitely like my Uncle..." Casper grabbed his stomach and turned green in the face as Kat pulled him close.
As they neared the other exit of the hallways Stinkie grinned. "OOHHH!! Blond bombshell at 3 O' CLOCK KIDDO!! Prepare t'dive bomb 'er!!" Looking down at Azriel he winked. Azriel saluted his father and proceeded to get ready for the drop off. "'Eere we goooo!!" Within a blink of an eye Stinkie plowed the two of them into a dive towards Melle. "WHEW! Dis one sure is a 'ot one!! Y'think y'can 'andle 'er alone!?"
"I think I can take her! She doesn't look THAT tough!" Giggling Azriel watched as they approached his Mother.
"Hrmn...? MEEP!!" Melle's eyes widened as she stared at Stinkie and Azriel as they approached so quickly. "G-GUYS..!! H-H-HEY!!" She blushed as she found herself being circled around before having Azriel dropped right into her arms. "OOOF!" Although Azriel wasn't heavy having him dropped off into her arms was enough so that it landed her and him both on the floor. The two just exchanged looks and laughed. Though Melle rolled her eyes at Stinkie and smirked. "Well hello there to you too Air-Head!" Giggling she popped out her tongue at him.
"Hehehe! Nyaww... is dat anyway t'talk to ya Sc-Air Fright Instructor?" As he pulled up the goggles Stinkie winked at Melle and floated up to her. Happily he planted a kiss on her lips and helped both her and Azriel to their feet.
"Hehehe!! It was GREAT Mom!! Dad did this cool trick! We were like woooooooOOOHH! and then... Vrrrr... AND AND WOOSH!! Then we stunk Casper and left him in our stink dust!!" Laughing happily Azriel started jumping as he explained it to his mother excitedly.
"Oh DID you now...?" Melle eyed Stinkie a moment as she had told him before about teaching him to Stink up everybody. "Hmn..hmn.."
Stinkie just grinned nervously and shrugged shaking his head as he looked at his son, "Traituh..." Azriel just laughed and razzed him a little.
"Well, Mr. Fright Pilot...I gotta say, this outfit REALLY suits ya." Melle giggled and grabbed his jacket and pulled him closer as she snuggled against him a little. A first Stinkie looked a little shocked but that quickly changed to a blush as he cuddled her back close. Poor Azriel just watched and gagged a little while he stared on. It was then that Casper and Kat had finally managed to get downstairs. Kat had her arms folded over her chest as she called out at Melle.
"We REALLY have to talk Melle... This just can't continue on like this." Angrily Kat stated as she sighed. Melle shifted her eyes to Stinkie then to the ceiling. This is the LAST thing she wanted to talk about right now. It was always the same old same old from Kat. Lecture after lecture, and if it wasn't from her then it was from Dr. Harvey which was even worse at times.
"I uh...I think dat I'll go see how my bro's are doin' on getting da pahty set up!" Stinkie chuckled nervously and kissed Melle's cheek quickly, then vanished.
"H-HEY! Wait a second where do you think you're?! S-STINKIE!!!" Melle grumbled and then grinned nervously at Kat. "Heheh...hrmn.. Azriel, you go on and play. Maybe you can ask Dr. Harvey if He's almost finished with his session."
"Okaaay..." Azriel stared at Kat and Casper poking out his bottom lip. "You're no fun..." Quickly he started towards the library.
"Alright, get it over with Kat..." having leaned against the wall Melle gazed towards Ghastly who was bringing in the gifts secretly and waved to her. Melle smiled to her friend but frowned as Kat and Casper both began to lecture.
"Melle, I know you don't want to hear this. I'm just trying to look out for you though. I mean, You're like a sister to me and I don't want your son to get hurt. Think about it, If he goes around burping into peoples faces, or farting all of the time He's going to get made fun of at school.He's not going to have ANY friends! They'll all want to stay away from him or think that he's weird. It'll get him in trouble with the teachers..." Kat tried to explain. "HAVE you told him that he's starting school yet??"
"No... I wasn't going to tell him until a few days. I wanted his birthday to be a happy special time. He shouldn't have to worry about something like school on his birthday. He'll have many years for that." Smiling Melle fiddled with her thumbs nervously. She knew what Kat said was right, but how could she stop Stinkie from playing with his son the only way he knows how. Stinkie was so proud of having a boy that he could share his odor with. "Hrmn...I'll see about cutting some things down... but not everything. I'm not going to stop him from doing what he loves. I want him to be happy.."
"We know, But, he's not going to be happy if he gets made fun of in school for farting or burping so loud that it shakes the building. They'll pick on him and hurt him. No offense, but, I thought...you'd know that...From your experience..." Casper frowned as he explained.
"... I know..." Quietly Melle rubbed her arm as she looked at them. "I'll just tell him to leave it for at home."
"And try to teach Stinkie some control! I mean, I know Azriel loves flying but, Stinkie is just so dangerous when he's doing that. The stunts I mean... Aren't you scared??" Kat questioned.
"Well of course I am, but, I mean I trust Stinkie too. I trust him with everything. I know he wouldn't do anything to hurt our son." Shaking her head Melle looked towards the library to see Azriel coming. "He's a better father than what you think. Even if it doesn't seem like it to you. Hey kiddo! Is he done...??"
"YEAH YEAH!! PARTY TIME!!" Azriel laughed and jumped as he grabbed his Moms hand and lead her towards the kitchen.
"Heheh, y'know... I remember when I used to be that way with my parents. They weren't like Melle and Stinkie that's for sure, but, they did have that same loving look when they wanted to play with me." Smiling Casper grabbed Kat's hand and floated towards the kitchen with her for the party.
When everyone had assembled into the kitchen the candles were then lit and the birthday song was sung. At the end everyone shouted "MAKE A WISH!" and Azriel who'd thought long and hard on it did. It was then that he blew out the candles on the cake with one of his fathers specialty belches. "Dat's my son!!!" Stinkie grinned and hugged onto Azriel as they laughed and enjoyed the moment. The cake was then cut and passed out and around. Fatso managing to eat WAY more than his share.
"Mmmhhhngh!! Next time y'should get da extra extra jumbo sized one!!" Fatso grinned.
"Yea', well dey wanted a boithday cake, NOTTA 3 ring circus. If day got one dat big, it'd a been a weddin' cake again." Stretch shook his head and watched as the family continued having their fun at the table. Ghastly sat next to Stretch and watched Melle and Stinkie with big eyes. It had started to tug at her brain that like them, she wanted a family too. But, Stretch she was concerned about whether or not he still wanted anything to do with that. Well the least she could to was try and that night she planned on it. When the cake and ice cream and even the pizza was finished, it was time for the gifts! Many of them were of toys like motorcycles, trucks, a couple of plush toys that looked like ghosts and garbage monsters.
Towards the end of the party, they held a belching contest, and a drinking contest for the adults. To their surprise Ghastly actually one that one! Casper and Kat were the first to leave and head up to their room, Dr. Harvey was the second who decided bed would be a good idea, Stretch and Ghastly also retired, Then Fatso. Melle and Stinkie carried their son up the stairs to bed that night. When they placed him down in his room they both read him a bed time story and tucked him in. Only when their son had been asleep for a little while did they leave to their room as well.
