Naru woke up refreshed and happy. He has a girlfriend. And he only met her last week. He was dreading about his parents coming to meet her. His annoying twin called their parents and told them about the girls. Naru was more worried about his mother. She has been nagging him to get a girlfriend. She might scare Mai.

Naru found out that the girl's previous guardian had abused them until they ran away. Then they were found by the Monk and the Doctor. It takes Nina and Mai awhile to trust people.

Gene woke up to find that Noll's bed was empty. He's with Mai. He thought to himself. He laid back down and stared at the ceiling. Then a knock came at the door. "Come in." He said.

Minko entered the room. "Are you Gene?" She asked to make sure. "Noll is with Mai." Gene replied. "Bou-san wanted me to tell you to help yourself to breakfast. He and Ayako had to go out of the city and won't be back till night fall."

"Where are they going?" Gene asked.

"To visit Bou-san's parents. Normally he'd take me and my sisters. But with you here he thought that it would be rude to leave you here by yourselves."

"What do you usually have for breakfast?"

"A peice of toast, fruit."

"How about we go out and have breakfast, you and show me the city?" Gene sat up.

"You paying?" Minko asked. "Yep."

"In that case it's a deal. Meet you down stairs in half an hour?"

Gene nodded.

Madoka woke up to see that Lin was still asleep. So she decided to check on the new couple. She had her feet on the carpet. "Leave them alone." Lin's sleepy voice came from behind her.

Madoka jumped and clutched her chest. "How many times dot have to tell you not to do that?" She gasped. "And how many times have I told you to stop interfering in people's love life?"

"Lost count." She said as she slipped back under the covers. Then there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Lin said. Nina came in with a tray. "Bou-san and Ayako are out of the city visiting his parents and won't be back until night fall. Gene and Minko and gone out for breakfast." She said as she placed the tray on Madoka's lap. There were two plates of scrambled eggs, toast and two mugs off coffee.

"Thank you. Who made this?" Madoka asked as Lin-san sat up, picked up the fork and tried the eggs. "This is good."

"Mai made it with Noll's help. Well he wasn't really helping her. He was nuzzling his face in her neck. That's Mai's weak spot."

"Thank Mai for us will you?" Lin-san said before his wife could ask for more details about Noll and Mai.

"I will and enjoy. Bring down the plates and that when you're finished." With that Nina left the room.

At lunch time Noll was on an errand run giving Mai some much wanted and needed quiet time. She was in the lounge room with her laptop on her lap and a cup of tea on the table. Then Lin came in to the kitchen.

"Did you and Madoka enjoy breakfast?" Mai asked him. She had her back to him and he was walking quietly, she wouldn't know that he was in the room if she was a normal girl.

"We did, thank you. But you didn't need to." Lin replied, coming in to the lounge and sat on a chair. "You and Madoka have done a lot for my sister's and me. And I wanted too."

"What are you doing?" Lin asked. "Homework." Mai replied. "Would you like some help?" "Na, I'll be right, thank you."

"I'm not bothering you if I sit here?"

"No, can I get you a cup of tea?"

"If it's no trouble." "Not at all I was about to get a cup myself." Mai got up and turned on the kettle.

Noll was walking back to the house when Madoka came running up to him. "How are you doing?" She asked. "I'm good." He replied. "What about you and Mai?" Noll sighed. "Madoka?" "Yes?" "Drop it." I was just wondering if you two are happy."

"We are happy. At least I am." Noll said and went in to the house. Mai was doing her homework and Lin was reading a book.

Minko was doing her homework, Gene was helping her. Nina was on the phone. Then she handed Mai the phone. "Hello?"

"Speaking?" Mai listened and then her eyes widen then she handed the phone to Naru. "It's your mother." She said and Gene and Lin's heads snapped up.

"Hello Mother." Naru sighed. His mother was the last person he wanted to hear from.

"Oliver, we're at the Airport." His mother said.

"Who's at the airport?"

"Your father and I. Now we're in a taxi. Was that her by the way?"

Naru sighed. "The second voice was here. The first voice was her sister."

"I can't wait to meet her. See you soon" She hung up.

Naru handed the hand set back to Mai and sat down next to her. "Their coming. Their on the way to the house now." He told his twin as he pulled Mai closer to him. He felt her stiffen. He knew that she's not use to strangers in her house.

Naru kissed her hair and whispered, "Don't worry it takes a good hour to get here from the airport."

Nina sat on the other side of Mai and hugged her. Nina kneeled in front of her. "Do you trust Naru and the others?" She asked gently. Mai nodded. "Well trust Naru and Gene's parents. Okay?" Mai nodded again.

Time was moving slowly and Mai was feeling a bit better. Then an hour later the door bell rang. "We'll get it." Gene said.

Gene and Noll answered the door but stopped their parents from entering. "Slow down. You'll frighten her. She's not use to strangers. Her name is Mai. Be careful or I'll never forgive you." Noll told his parents, mainly to his mother.

"I'll get your bags. You can have our room. Noll will probably share with Mai. I'll sleep on the couch." Gene said and went outside."

Noll led them in to the lounge room. The girls went upstairs so Noll can bring his parents up to date with everything.

Well that's that chapter done. And thank goodness. It was a hard chapter to write.

In the next chapter Mai and her sister get introduced to Luella and Martin Davies. (Again thank you for correcting me.

And the Monk and Ayako come back with bad news for the girls. What could it be?

Well you better read and find out. I'm writing the next chapter right now.
