Sorry about the wait! My computer won't let me copy and paste :( Thank you for reviews! Once again, I am borrowing almost everyone in the story except for Lydia and Trent in this chapter. Enjoy!

"Bye Erik! See you at the Thanksgiving dinner! Don't forget Dad's money!" Darcy shouted out the window as Jane pulled out of Erik's driveway.

Erik responded with a wave of his hand that wasn't holding the money envelope.

"I can't believe that we're home!" Jane smiled.

She couldn't wait to see her best friend. She needed some girl time that didn't involve eavesdropping gods.

"I can't either! Think we'll be able to make it to The Barn this trip?" Darcy asked.

"The Barn?" Loki questioned wrinkling his nose thinking about the smell of the barn back on Asgard.

"It's a dance hall where karaoke and dancing happen. Well, karaoke when Lana isn't singing," Darcy replied.

Jane began to grin slyly. "She makes newcomers sing at least one song."

Thor and Loki both paled.

Jane! Darcy! Welcome home!" shrieked a woman in a Southern accent.

Jane and Darcy exited the van to be greeted by an average woman with graying brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a excited smile.

"Hi mom," Darcy gasped as her mother crushed her in a hug.

"Hi mom," echoed Jane, as the woman let go of Darcy and turned to her.

"You, young lady, owe me an apology for not keeping in touch more often as you said you would," the woman explained as she walked over to stand in front of Jane.

Jane smiled sheepishly as Thor and Loki go out of the van. "Sorry. I've been busy."

"Just promise that you'll contact me once a month at least," the woman sighed giving Jane a hug.

"I promise. By the way, Mom, these are Thor and Loki," Jane introduced the gods as she was let go. "Thor, Loki, this is Lydia."

"Pleasure to meet you," grinned Thor, holding out his hand.

"Likewise. So are you the young man whom Trent has to interrogate while you're here?" asked the woman shaking Thor's hand.

Loki snickered as Thor's grin faded. Scratching the back of his neck, Thor answered, "Yes ma'am."

"I'm not that old. Please call me Lydia," encouraged Lydia, now turning to Loki. "You must be Loki."

Loki stiffened. "I am."

"No need to be nervous. We don't bring things up in other peoples lives unless they bring it up themselves. Please feel free to roam around. I trust the girls told you of the prank rules?" Lydia questioned.

"They did," Loki answered hesitantly.

"Good, although, it's about 16 weeks 'til the pranks should start. Anyway come inside, y'all must be tired and hungry from the trip," said Lydia.

"Let us retrieve the luggage from…" Thor began, but Lydia interrupted him.

"Nonsense. Trent and Lana can get the bags and show you to the cabins. Or if Brent does decide to come for dinner, he can help with the bags," Lydia explained. "Now everyone inside."

"Speaking of which, where are Dad and Lana?" asked Darcy, grabbing her purse from the van.

"Trent is out back and Lana had to take care of Dune. Poor thing got bit by a cottonmouth about fifteen minutes ago" answered Lydia, walking up to the house.

Jane and Darcy winced.

Thor and Loki were puzzled. "Cotton has a mouth?" asked Loki.

Darcy coughed suddenly as if to cover a snicker and Jane bit her lip to keep herself from laughing. Lydia glared at the girls before politely answering the god.

"No, it's a poisonous snake out here in Montana. They're uncommon, but there have been sightings once in a while. Fatal if not treated in time."

All of a sudden a huge dog came bounding around the corner. A big blob of brown, black, and white fur ran up to Darcy nearly toppling her over.

"Oomph," Darcy grunted. "Its nice to see you too Cujo." Turning to Thor and Loki, "This is Cujo Lana's St. Bernard. He'll take a while to get use to you. Titan is around here somewhere…"

Not a second later, another huge dog followed Cujo, followed closely by a large male. This dog was silver and black colored and he stopped short of the family taking in the two new strangers. Suddenly his ears went back into defensive position and his fur standing up around his neck, and he started growling. The man grabbed the dog by the collar and started pulling him away.

"Titan, easy boy," the man ordered, trying to calm the dog down.

"Trent, would you mind getting the bags from the van after dinner?" Lydia asked the man, rolling her eyes at the dogs' behavior.

"Sure thing Lyddi. Why don't you take everyone inside and I'll hook up the dogs," the man suggested.

Lydia nodded and ushered everyone inside. Cujo, deciding he didn't want to leave Darcy's side, followed her before Lydia or Jane could catch him.

"Is your dog always this obedient?" asked Thor; surprised that Cujo had ignored him and his brother.

Darcy snorted as she and Jane took off their shoes, "No. I'm his favorite when Lana and TJ aren't around. Normally, neither him nor Titan will leave Lana's side when she's here. But they have their second and third favorites."

Loki raised an eyebrow, "Second and third?"

Darcy nodded and led them to the kitchen. "Lana are Titan and Cujo's favorite in the family. Then for Cujo, it's TJ and then me. For Titan, it goes my mom and Maggie. But they are protective of all of us including Jane and Erik."

The small group heard a chuckle and turned to see the male shaking his head. "They also have a good judge of character."

At that, Jane ended up grinning. "Lana swears that they get it from you."

"Well, you mess with my family, yeah. You'll either get a shotgun threat or a dog bite. Luckily, all Titan has done is snapped at people. Cujo however, his bark is worse then his bite. By the way, I'm Trent Lewis," the man introduced himself, sticking out his hand for Loki to shake.

"Loki," he simply stated, shaking Trent's hand.

"Nice to meet you. So you must be the young man I need to interrogate while you're here," Trent said, turning to Thor.

"Yes sir," Thor replied, looking nervous.

Loki took a moment to remember this. It wasn't very often did he catch Thor looking like this. Not even before his almost coronation. He realized that Thor must be serious about Jane if it was this bad for him.

Trent scrunched his nose, "Call me sir again and you'll be sleeping outside tonight. Just call me Trent. Mr. Lewis and sir is my father. And I'll let you get some rest before I interrogate you."

"Dad," Jane groaned, placing her forehead in her palm.

Loki noticed that Trent's brown eyes were twinkling with mischief. He had a feeling that he would get along with this man. He also noticed that Darcy was trying very hard not to laugh.

"Trent, if you scare the poor boy, you'll be sleeping on the couch tomorrow," Lydia warned her husband with a twinkle in her eye. "Now go start the grill for the hamburgers. Darcy you can get the condiments out of the fridge and slice the onion and tomatoes. Jane, you can set the table."

Darcy scrunched her nose at the thought of slicing the onions, but complied as did Jane and Trent. Thor and Loki just looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Thor suddenly found the courage to ask, "What would you like for us to do Lydia?"

Lydia looked at the gods, "Nothing at the moment. You can help Lana and possibly Brent clear the table after dinner."

"Kyle's not coming?" asked Jane as she got plates out of cabinet.

"Nope. He'll be here for Thanksgiving. He's having dinner with his sister and her family tonight."

Trent stuck his head inside. "Why don't you gents come outside so the ladies can talk."

Thor and Loki didn't need to be told twice.

Well, you've met the parents and the dogs. Who do you think Thor and Loki are going to meet next?

Please Review! :D
