'CONGRATULATIONS!'

Erika and Kiku were in for a real surprise after seeing all of their friends and family get here. The day after Kenny was born.

Bianca, Monika, Anne, Alfred, Lin, their son Nathan, heck even Emi, Shu and Yuki were here.

'Is it true that you've gave birth in bookstore.' Bianca asks as she bounces to the little family and looks at Kenny.

'Yes, I've no choice.' Erika explains to them as she clutches a sleeping Kenny into her arms.

'Aww! What's his name?' Carlos asks them.

'Kenny. Kenny Honda.' Kiku answers.

'I thought that you were going to name him Sora.' Yuki says as he looks at his nephew.

'We've changed our minds.' Erika says happily.

'Oh.' Emma says awkwardly.

'May I please hold my grandson?' Emi asks them, smiling at her first grandchild.

'Why sure.'

Everyone has settled in.

Kenny was put into his room so he can sleep.

Erika talks to a 8 mouth pregnant Lin and their 5 year old son, Nathan.

'How's everything Nathan and your daughter?' Erika asks her.

'Good.' Lin says with a smile as she rubs her belly. 'Nathan assumes that he's having a baby brother.'

Nathan Samuel Jones, the first born son of Lin and Alfred Jones. He had his mother's features and his father's hair curl. He's a energetic and bubbly little boy. He loves playing baseball and learning about science at a young age. Nathan was currently taking a nap in the couch.

'I hope that he'll accept his baby sister.' Erika says.

'He will. I can see him playing as the protective big brother that loves teasing his little sister.' Lin says as she giggles.

'I've hope that my belly will disappear.' Erika says as she looks down at her stomach which still looked like that she's still pregnant, but more squishy.

'That will disappear in a few days tops.' Lin tells her. 'It will help more when you exercise. Breast feeding won't do much help.'

'I'm still suffering from some cramps, too.' Erika says as her face shows a bit pain. 'I'm not sure if I'll last six weeks like this.'

'That's why I'm glad that not married.' Anne says as she, Monika and Bianca joins the conversation.

'I'm not surprised.' Monika says. 'Bianca and I refuse to use a sperm donor. We're looking forward to adopting the right child.'

'Yes! We're planning on getting both a older boy and girl.' Bianca says happily. 'No one pays attention to them.'

Anne has never once married anyone nor interested into any kind of romance. Though her parents urge her, but she refuses to. Right now she's enjoying her job as a airport security. She checks other people's bags and sees if they're safe.

Monika and Bianca are a married lesbian couple. They are apart of a LBGTQQ community that wants to live with het and cis people peacefully in this neighborhood. Which is pretty successful.

Anyways, Monika works as a cleaner in a hotel within the l small city. Bianca works as a chef in restaurant. They're hoping to adopt older child that's in their preteens or teens, because everyone else usually goes for the younger kids.

'That will be a lot of fun.' Lin says. 'The kids can can get the family that they wanted, before reaching adult hood.'

'I tolerate teens more then children.' Monika says calmly.

'Does that mean you hate me, Aunt Monika?'

They look down at Nathan whom just woke up. Looking like that he was about to cry.

'No, Nathan.' Monika tells him. 'You're a exception.'

'Exception...is that a good word, Mommy?' Nathan asks Lin.

'Yes.' She replies with a smile on her face.

'YAY!' He cheers as he hugs Monika.

'Nathan just refuses to be hated by anyone.' Lin tells Bianca.

'He'll face the facts that it could true when he's older.' Bianca says. 'Just like I did after discovering my older sister hates me.'

'Poor Bianca.' Erika says sadly.

...

Kiku was talking to Alfred, Emi, Yuki and Shu.

'Yuki, Shu. I thought that you guys were going back to Japan.' Kiku says as he looks at them.

'We were, but we've got countless delays on our flight do to the weather storm. That we've ended up staying here for a few days.' Shu explains himself awkwardly. 'Tonight, we'll be officially leaving.'

'They've been staying in my place since then.' Emi tells them.

'I'm hoping that our plane won't crash.' Yuki says fearfully.

'You guys will be fine.' Alfred tells them. 'Tonight's weather will be perfect for flights.'

'That more stressful, then going through nine mouths of caring for a pregnant Erika.' Kiku says as he sighs. 'But, also more reliving that it's over.'

'Nothing's over now.' Alfred tells Kiku. 'That's just the beginning.'

'I know.' Kiku says. 'But, it's nice to see my son outside in the world.'

'I've felt the same way for my son, but I've fainted the second I saw him pop out.' Alfred says he paled, then tells Kiku. 'Kudos to you for not fainting.'

'Thanks, Alfred.' Kiku says with a awkward smile.

'Will you faint on sight on your second child, Alfred?' Yuki asks him.

'No, I'll not faint in front of my little girl.' Alfred says stubbornly.

'If Amelia were here. She would...' Kiku pauses as he realizes he has said. 'Sorry, Alfred.'

'It's fine... she would totally smart mouth me.' Alfred says sadly.

'What exactly happened to this Amelia person?' She asks in curiosity.

'Amelia's Alfred's late twin sister.' Emi explains to him.

Kiku, Alfred, Anne, Lin and Erika remembered that mostly unforgettable day ever.

Flashback mode now activated!

It was a day before the prom.

It was a peaceful morning. Amelia was in the hallway with Chein.

'So you like to become a scientist and study in Vietnam?' Amelia asked Chein interest.

'Yes.' Chein said with a smile. 'There's so much mystery in there. I also loved about mythical creatures of Vietnam. Like legends of the nine tailed fox or the demon fish.'

'Asian myths are interesting.' She said happily. 'In America we've got many different kinds of myths. Bigfoot, moth man, goat man, Jersey devil...'

'Let's not forget about the Thunder bird.' He pointed out.

'I only think of Zapdos when I hear that.' Amelia said as she grinned.

'Whenever I nine tailed fox. I think of Ninetails and Vulpix.' He said with a smile.

'It can picture you with a Vulpix and Ninetails.' She said thinking of the image in her head.

'You would be a worthy person to tame Zapdos.' Chein said with a smirk. 'That would make me give you tons of respect.'

'Really?' She asked her eyes lite up.

'YO! AMELIA!'

Amelia groaned in annoyance. 'What did you want Gaston?'

'It's Michael.' A young man with dark reddish brownish hair, dark brown hair and tan skin came up. He was wearing a black biker's jacket and giving off a bad boy vibe. He was Michael Roberson, the son of the prom runner. He is the most popular boy in the school. He has dated almost every senior girl in the school. Michael has eyeing on Amelia lately.

'For the last time, Michael. I don't want to go to the prom with you.' Amelia said in annoyance.

'Every girl wants me.' Michael said.

'Didn't she said that she didn't want to go with you?' Chein spoke up in annoyance.

'Back off!' He hissed to Chein.

'Hey, Michael! Are you trying harass my sister into going to prom with you?' Alfred asked as he and Kiku showed up. Alfred and Michael hate each other for some reason. They don't know why.

'My dad said that I can choose any girl that I please.' Michael said with a smirk.

'That doesn't give you the right to force the people to go with you.' Kiku said in a firm tone.

'Who said that you're the boss of me?' Michael asked.

'Just leave me alone, Michael.' Amelia said in annoyance. 'I've already planned on asking someone else out.'

'You've finally decided to give up your delicate virginity to become someone's slut, Amelia?' Michael asked, but only to be punched in the face by Alfred.

'DON'T CALL A GIRL THAT!' Alfred yelled in anger, as he holds his hand in pain. Many people came out of their class rooms to see what's going on.

'ALFRED F JONES!' A man came up. He the same hair and eye color as Michael. He was Ronald Roberson, father of Michael, the gym teacher and the runner prom. Like Michael, Ronald despises Alfred for some reason. 'I've never thought that you get this far to hurt my son.'

'He was trying to force my sister to go out with him.' Alfred said in defense. 'He also called her a slut.' The last word he was in pour disgust.

'I don't blame him. Amelia does know how attract the boys.' Ronald said in disgust.

'Wait are you blaming this on me?' Amelia asked in shock and anger.

'Michael can't help himself when women keep their legs open.' Ronald said.

'What the hell is wrong with you?' Chein growled in anger.

'Mr. Roberson. I'd like to tell you that Michael has started the whole scene.' Kiku tried to explain to him.

Alfred, Kiku, Chein and Amelia were banned from the prom, because they were blamed on started a fight and back talking the teacher.

'We're just tr-' Amelia tried to protest.

'I don't care!' Ronald said harshly. 'The last thing we need is to have you guys getting into fights during my prom party.'

'HEY!' Carlos yelled at him furiously. 'Amelia is far from what you described her and Michael asked for it!' As Matthew nodded in a agreement.

'Yeah, they wouldn't pull off something like that.' Lin said as she stepped in. 'Plus, Alfred asked me to the prom as well.' She was twice as happy when she walked in seeing Alfred standing up for his sister.

'That's true!' Bianca said in anger. 'Kiku's too smart for that. Amelia and Alfred too. Chein knows better, too.'

'They are the best students here.' Monika pointed out.

'Yeah, Alfred and Amelia mature people.' Anne said as she finds herself agreeing with it.

'Amelia, Alfred, Chein and Kiku are loyal students.' Roderich added in, then thought. 'Unlike your son.'

'Okay, in that case. You're all banned from the prom for standing up them.' Ronald said.

'WHAT?' Everyone was a bit shocked.

'Why... does this feel like a set up?' Kiku thought to himself.

'What is going here, Roberson?' Arthur asked as he came in. 'I've thought that you were sent to settle the commotion.'

'Alfred punched me.' Michael said as he tried to play innocent.

...

Kiku didn't remember much after that, but he does remember finding himself in the principal's office with Amelia, Chein, Alfred, Michael and Ronald. Michael had a bag of ice on his eye and Alfred had a bag of ice on his hand.

Sitting the front desk was a man. He had long blonde wavy hair pulled up into a ponytail and calm blue eyes. He was Francis Bonnefoy, the school's principal. He waited patiently for a response. 'Well?'

'Michael tried to ask Amelia out repeatedly and believes that he can own her.' Chein spoke up not wanting to wait any longer.

'Father said that I can ask her out any time I want too.' Michael said in defense.

'Really?' Francis asked as he raised a brow. 'Do you really want to go to prom with him, Amelia?'

'NO!' Amelia yelled in anger. 'Especially after he called me a slut.'

'EXCUSE ME?' France asked in shocked as if he was offended by that comment.

'Yeah, he lead me into punching him.' Alfred said in annoyance. No one gets away with shaming his sister or any of his female friends.

'I'll try to teach him to behave better.' Ronald said calmly.

'I thought that you said that it was all Amelia's fault for attracting Michael.' Kiku acted like that he just remembered, but he really intended to bring it up.

'He didn't say that!' Michael came to his father's defense.

'Yes he did!' Amelia said angrily.

'I wouldn't blame Amelia for, but I do believe that she did insult Michael.' Ronald said in a calm tone.

They soon started arguing. Kiku watches as the Jones twins argue with Michael and Ronald, while Chein tried to calm them.

'That's enough all of you!' Francis spoke up in a firm tone. They all look at him. 'I'm not sure which argument to side on, but I believe that Michael shouldn't go to the prom. Mostly because I love my students like they're my own children and I hate hearing them being shamed on anything. Especially hearing Amelia being called a 'slut'.'

'WHAT?' Michael yelled furiously.

'Mr. Roberson. I believe that if you ever end being here in the office like this again, then there's a chance that I'll fire you.' Francis said as he spoke to Ronald firmly. 'I'm only letting you guy slip, because your hosting prom and you'll ruin it for other students.'

'What about us?' Alfred asked.

'I'm afraid if you guys do go there. You'll end up suffering from bad rumors from other students.' Francis said in calmly. 'So I don't think that it wouldn't be a good idea for you guys to go.'

'WHAT?' Amelia and Alfred asked in shock.

'Also, you two are being sent home early, as well.' Francis added.

...

Kiku sighed. 'Poor Alfred and Amelia.'

He and Chein were sent back to class.

He made his way to English class. 'Amelia and Alfred were sent back home.'

Kiku tried to catch up with his English work. Luckily there wasn't much left, since it was was the end of the school year for the seniors.

'Kiku, Matthew, Lin and Anne can you please stay here for a minute.' Arthur told them.

'What is it Mr. Kirkland?' Anne asked in slight annoyance. Knowing that she's not in trouble.

'Tomorrow night. Please come to my house.' Arthur told them as he hands them a invitation. 'We: Sophia, Sadik, Abel and I. Host a small prom for those whom were banned from prom for no reason.'

'Really?' Kiku asked in shock.

'Yes, it's free as well. You can wear whatever you want, but don't bring weapons, drugs, alcohol or anything that's dangerous.' Arthur said with a smile on his. 'Alfred and Amelia will be getting some as well.'

'Can someone that doesn't go to Dickinson High can come?' Anne asked.

'As long as they are the ages between 15 and 21.' Arthur told her.

Kiku stared at his invitation silently.

...

Amelia and Alfred sat in silence. Michael was sent home early as well. They wanted for their mother to pick them up early.

'This is unbelievable.' Alfred said in annoyance.

'At least we're not getting detention.' Amelia added.

'You didn't do anything to wrong.' He told his sister.

'Hey, kids.' Sofia came up them.

'Hello, Miss Sofia.' Amelia greeted her

'Here, I want to give you guys this.' Sofia handed something out to them. She explained to them.

Amy came in. 'Kids...'

'We've got to go now.' Alfred said as he and Amelia leave.

They followed Amy out. They sat in the car in silence, all the home.

As they came home they see Clara waiting for them.

'Aunt Clara?' Alfred asked in slight surprise.

'I heard that you've know Ronald.' She said to them.

'Yes.' Alfred said in annoyance. 'He's the gym teacher. At least we didn't have him as our gym teacher.'

'Every time whenever we encounter him or his son. A bad vibe hits us.' Amelia explained to her.

'That's because we've used to know him.' Clara explained to. 'Your father, George and I. I was a junior and George was a senior. Ronald and George were real deadly foes. They competed in everything. Ronald wanted to take me to prom. I refused of course, because I didn't like him. When I finally told him a firm 'no'. He called me a 'worthless hoe'. My brother punched him in the face for that. In the end both of them got in trouble for that.'

'So neither of them couldn't go to the prom?' Amelia asked Clara.

Clara nodded. 'It seems that history is repeating itself.'

'You're damn right.' Alfred said as rubs his injured hand in pain.

'You're not in trouble.' Amy told them.

'Thank you.' Amelia said with a smile.

'Our teachers are holding a self made secret prom for us.' Alfred told them. 'Is it okay we go there?'

'Is it safe?' Clara asked.

'Yes.' Amelia answered.

'Are there rules for your safety?' Amy asked.

'Yes. Our teachers are there to watch over us.' Alfred said.

'Matthew's going there, too.' Amelia said cheerfully.

'Okay, you can go.' Amy told them.

'YAY!'

...

The next day, Kiku was checking on some possible college choices.

'Kiku, are you going to the prom that Mr Kirkland invited you?' Emi asked him. She knows Arthur along with Sofia, Abel and Sadik very well.

'I'm not really interested mom.' Kiku said as he didn't look up. 'I'm not a big fan of social crowds.'

'It's not as big as as you think.' Emi told him.

'Know, b-'

'Lilli's going there, too.' Yuki added as he popped up. 'I saw her as I got off of the bus and wrote on how excited she was to see you there.'

Kiku thought about it for a second, then said. 'I don't have anything else to wear.'

'I've got the right clothes just for you.' Emi grinned.

A few minutes later.

Kiku finds himself in a pale white double breasted suit with a cherry shirt under beneath it, sky blue tie tucked around his neck and pants that matches the colors his suit top. To top everything off he had a pale white top hat with a golden ribbon tied around.

'Why does this feel like a Halloween costume?' He asked as he turned to his mother.

'No, it's a magician's uniform.' She said with a awkward smile. 'It's the only fancy thing I find your size.'

'Kiku!' Yuki came in. 'Your friends are here to pick you up.'

Kiku made his way out. He sees Anne and Lilli standing there waiting for him.

Anne was wearing a elegant dark red dress that reached her ankles and hugged her upper body. She had her wavy dirty blonde hair pulled up into a high ponytail.

Lilli was wearing a long sleeved light blue dress that hung over her knees, dark blue pants under beneath and the same scarf as before. She was holding her washboard. "You ready Kiku?"

'Yes, I am.' Kiku said as he hoped that night will end quickly.

'Good let's go.' Anne said as she looked rather bored.

A car honked. It was Alfred, Amelia and Matthew waiting for them.

They climbed into the car. Amelia and Alfred were wearing cowboy outfits. Matthew was wearing a red and white suit.

'I've thought that you weren't going, Anne.' Amelia said to her.

'I'm only going, because Lilli wanted to go.' Anne said calmly.

'Okay, then.'

They drove off to Arthur's house.

He's place was a mansion. It was located a few miles where the kids live.

As they had it there could see someone standing there waiting for them.

'I see that you guys have made it.' Abel said to them.

'Thanks.' Alfred said.

Lilli uncomfortably walked along with her as she made her way to the mansion. It wasn't as big as she thought it would be.

They made their way in the front entrance. There was people around her, food is displayed in one side, the other side there people hanging out and talking. In the center there there was people dancing and having a great time. Music was playing.

'I'm glad that you guys made it.' Arthur said as he came up them.

'Thanks for inviting us.' Amelia said happily.

'I couldn't let my best students feel unhappy.' He said he noticed Lilli. 'Are you Lillian Zwingli?'

Lilli nodded.

'I'm glad to meet you. I'm Arthur Kirkland. I going to be your home school teacher.' He told her.

Lilli smiled as a acception.

'Amelia is that you?' Chein asked as he came up. He was wearing red suit with yellow tie and a red and yellow fedora.

'Yes!' She chipped.

'Most of the girls here choose fancy dresses. I've never expected you to show in a cowboy outfit.' Chein commented.

'Is that a bad thing?' Amelia asked. 'I couldn't find the right dress for me.'

'No, I think that you look lovely.' He said as he smiled. 'Would you care to dance with me?'

Amelia turns to Lilli. She wrote.

"Go for it!"

'Yes, I would love to dance with you.' Amelia grinned cheerfully.

They walked off.

Lilli suddenly finds herself alone with a uncomfortable Kiku.

...

'Are you enjoying your time here?'

Lin wearing a dress with a dark blue top with puffy sleeves, a white belt in the middle and a flowing dark red skirt that reached her ankles. She was currently at the food table. She looked up and answered. 'Yes, Mr. Adnan.'

Sadik was wearing a black suit with a white mask.

Sofia was wearing dark blue dress that reached her ankles. 'You sure?'

With them was Abel. He was wearing outfit similar to a detective's outfit. 'You seemed worried.'

'I don't know why, but I feel... that something bad is going to someone I know.' Lin said as she couldn't help, but feel anxious.

'Calm down, kiddo.' Sadik reassured her. 'Maybe you're just thinking too much negative thoughts about this morning.'

'I agree, this is a night where you're supposed to enjoy yourself not feel upset.' Sofia said at her.

'Maybe so.' Lin said as she thought to herself.

'Whatever you're feeling you can't predict it, but just yourself for the worse.' Abel told her.

'Alright.' Lin said calmly.

'Lin?' Alfred came up to her.

'Alfred?'

'You look beautiful.' Alfred said as he completed her.

'Thanks.' She said as she blushed.

The music turned into a more juzzy theme.

'Hey, I like this theme!' Alfred said, then took Lin's hand. 'Want to join me?'

'Yes, please!'

Alfred and Lin walked into the dance floor.

'Come on, Sadik!' Sofia said to him as she his hands. 'Let's join them.'

'Alright!' He grinned.

They ran off into the crowd as Abel watched them.

...

Matthew searched around wondering what to do.

'Say, cheese!' A flash appeared in his face.

'Eh? Carlos?' Matthew asked in a dumbfounded tone.

Carlos was wearing a pink flamingo suit and a camera in his hands. He grinned. 'I'm hired to take prom pictures.'

'Really? That's nice.' Matthew said with a smile.

'Would like to join me on my conquest on taking pictures?' Carlos asked him.

'Sure, why not?' Matthew said as he joined his buddy.

...

Roderich stood by a window looking out. He was wearing dark blue suit with a fancy necked chief.

'Roderich.'

He turned, 'You really look like a actually young lady in that dress, Anne.'

'Shut up!' She hissed. 'This is the only place where we could talk privately without your parents nosing around. Is it that you want to talk to me about?'

'It involves Lilli.' Roderich told her as he bit his lips. 'My parents want custody over her.'

'Well too bad.' Anne said in annoyance. 'They can't have her.'

'It's not just that.' Roderich said as he looked nervous. 'They're willing to sue your family to take Lilli and there's possible chance that they'll win, but...'

'Why are you so nervous about?' She asked now noticing he's nervous. He never acted nervous unless if the situation sounded serious.

'They don't really care about Lilli.' He confessed to her. 'They only want her parent's will that's given to her.'

...

'Kiku!'

Lilli turns as she sees Bianca and Monika coming up to them.

Bianca was wearing a bright orange dress that hung over her knees.

Monika was wearing dark green dress that reached her shins. She said. 'I've see that you've made it. I've thought that you wouldn't come.'

'I've changed my mind.' Kiku said.

'Oh!' Bianca noticed Lilli. 'Is she your dance?'

'What?' Kiku asked, then noticed Lilli. 'Not really. This is Lilli, Anne's mute cousin from Germany.'

'Why are you mute?' Bianca asked Lilli.

'Why is she wearing long sleeved clothing and a scarf in warm weather?' Monika asked suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes at Lilli.

'Please, don't ask her those kind of questions.' Kiku said as he defeated her from those kind of questions. 'It's a really sensitive topic for her.'

'How old is she?' Monika asked her.

Lilli wrote. "I'm Lilli. I'm 15 years old. What's your names? Are you Kiku's friends, too."

'I'm Bianca and this Monika.'

Lilli smiled as a "nice to meet you" response.

'Hey! Kiku! Bianca! Monika!' Carlos came up to them with Matthew behind him. 'We're taking prom photos! Please, smile and look good.'

'Okay!' Bianca said as she grabbed Monika's arm and pulled her with her.

'Bianca!' Monika exclaimed as she tried to put on her best smile as the camera flashed. 'Don't do that when I'm not ready.' She hissed.

'Sorry. Hehe! You're face looked cute!' Bianca said to her.

Lilli watched their display interest.

'Hey.' Carlos spoke to her. 'Are the famous Lili that Matthew told me about.'

She nodded.

'Want your picture taken?' He asked her.

She looked uncomfortable.

'Want me to join you Lilli?' Kiku asked her.

She nodded her head.

'Alright say cheese!'

'Kiku!' Bianca called out as she took Monika's hand. 'Want to join us on the dance floor?'

'Okay.' Kiku said as he looked at Lilli. 'Want to join me?'

Lilli's eyes lit up brightly and nodded.

They walked in and danced awkwardly with Bianca and Monika. Along with Lin and Alfred whom were enjoying the beat. Sadik and Sofia dancing with the rhythm. Amelia and Amelia enjoying each other's company. Carlos and Matthew goofing off. Abel and Arthur talking each other. Anne and Roderich in a serious a conversation.

...

'Alright, guys. It's time to go now.' Alfred said as he yawned.

'I'm going to go get the car.' Amelia said as she headed outside down the road, until...

As Amelia was a almost half on the road of nowhere a flash shined on her and a vehicle came down hard on her...

Flashback mode now off!

Kiku waved goodbye to his guest then sighed.

'Now it's just you, me and Kenny.' Erika tells him calmly.

'It is.' Kiku says.

Suddenly, Kenny started to cry.

'It's his first time crying for us.' Kiku says.

'I'll take care of him.' Erika says as she heads up.

'This our new beginning and everything's in the past.' Kiku tells himself.

That's it for this long chapter!

What do you think?

We get to meet most of cast in present time.

Yeah... even after birth you're still slightly bloated, but it will go away later on. Though you'll have to go through 6 weeks of cramps after the baby's out.

We get to see some chemistry between Chein and Amelia, but Amelia's... you probably already know. I'll explain why in the next chapter. It really centers are Alfred's pov and his friendship with Alfred.

Please read and review!
