Ch. 2: Tori's Date
That very same evening, Drago, Colleen, and Ice are playing video games at Ice's home.
"You're goin' down, D-Dude!" he excitedly bragged.
"Not if I get enough points for an extra life!" Drago bragged back.
"Where's Stacey tonight?" Colleen asks.
"Said somethin' about late night shopping, but who cares?" Ice said.
Then, Tori come down wearing a nice blue dress and diamond earrings.
"Sorry to intrude, Kids," Tori said, "I thought my date arrived."
"Date?!" all three said with wonder.
"You've finally gone back in the dating game!" Ice proudly said while high-fiving Drago.
"So, Tori, who's the lucky man?" Colleen asks while teasing.
Suddenly, there was a ring at the door. Tori open the door, revealing a human Xiao Fung to be her date.
"Xiao Fung?!" all three shouted with shock.
"Hi, Kids," Xiao Fung greeted.
"You and Drago's uncle hooked up? Since when?" Ice asks with surprise.
"Ever since the ski trip when you and your sister were kidnapped," Tori explained, "He comforted me when I was worried about, so we connected."
"That's unexpected," Colleen says to Drago.
"Just don't tell Stacey yet," Tori asks them, "If she finds out I'm dating again, she'll be a lot more upset than usual."
"Tch. Being upset is an understatement with Stace, Mom," Ice said.
"Anyway, I'll be home at ten, Iggy, and I expect you to be in bed by then."
"Yes, Mom."
Tori leaves with Xiao Fung for their date.
"I'm impressed with you, Ice," Drago complimented, "Most kids would take it pretty hard when their single parents date again."
"Moms have a right to as much happiness as they want," Ice stated, "Same goes with my mom. Besides, your unc is way better than my dad. At least he makes time for his fam."
Then, Stacey comes in with a bag of stuff.
"Where've you been, Brat?" Drago growls.
"None of your business!" Stacey yells, "Where's mom?"
"She…has something to take care of in her Laundromat," Ice lies.
"Is it finally going out of business?"
"STACEY!" Colleen yells while crossing her arms.
"I don't have time for you losers. I'm going to my room."
She walks upstairs to her room while the trio looks at her with disdain. When Stacey gets into her room, she dumps what in the bag on her bed: the jewels and dress that were stolen from the mall.
"By tomorrow, I'll be the Penthouse Princess of San Francisco once again," she says to herself.
