Author's Note: Not really sure if people still read Catherine fanfics, but I'm still going to finish this either way. It's actually a really productive day for me, since I've added new chapters to all my stories! Sorry for the shortness of this chapter.


Chapter 5

Ding Dong!

Toby awoke from the doorbell. His eyes, barely opened. He lazily got out of bed and answered the door.

"Hello?" Toby mumbled.

"Morning son!" A peppy voice, male voice replied.

"...Dad?"

His dad wore a white dress shirt and red tie, with a blue best over top and brown dress pants: Really uptight by appearance.

"That's right! And you mother's here as well." His mother was a little looser than his fatherl: Just a simple red dress and heels.

"Hi Toby!" she greeted cheerfully.

"Ugh, isn't it a little early for you guys to be here?" Toby covered his face from the sun getting in his eyes.

"We just thought it would be better to see you early. More time spent together, you know?

"I guess," Toby yawned. "So what do you want to do?"

"Well we were going to go to wherever you usually go, besides work."

"The bar."

Once at the bar, Toby did the honor of introducing his parents to his friends. Of course, everyone kept to their manners as they knew how...uptight they were. There was no tolerance for the adult humor the boys would exhibit daily.

After greetings were out of the way, Erica went to take the table's order, but froze in her track noticing the new people sitting at the booth.

This is it she thought. Regardless, she went to the table.

"Hey guys, who's the new couple?"

"Oh hey Erica," Toby said. He stood up, "Erica, meet my parents. Mom, Dad, this is Erica, my..."

Here it goes.

"Girlfriend," he continued. It baffled him why he was so worried. It's not like it was completely obvious that she used to be a man.

"Well aren't you pretty," Toby's mom said shaking Erica's hand. His father shook her hand as well.

"You are a lucky woman Erica. Toby is such a great person, I'm sure he makes you happy."

He really did make me happy one night Erica thought.

Toby noticed Erica's hand shaking and gave her a wink to calm her down, as if to say, "Everything will be okay."


I thought I'd have enough material for a new chapter, by my mind was going blank. The next chapter will just go straight to the climax I've been planning, so it should be more exciting. Check my profile for all.
