A/N: Okay, more OOC-ness on the way. Thank RTVampireKilljoy for that. She was hovering over my shoulder the whole time I was writing this, giving helpful suggestions and emotional support. And destruction. Oh, lord, what have we done?! Enjoy. Review. Make my day. Thanks!

Loki was returned to our house the next day, by a very happy Renee. I watched her and Nate drive away, and I turned back to Loki.

"So, how was your stay at her house?" He regarded me with disdain, and slunk into the house. I shrugged and followed him in. We got upstairs, and he was horrified to see yet another one of my friends sitting on the couch, talking animatedly with Nicole and Thor.

"We're back." I announced. Loki gave me an evil glare. Izzy leaped to her feet and shyly walked up to him. She turned to me, eyes like saucers.

"It's actually him!" she squeaked. I nodded. She turned back to Loki. "Hi…" she said, trying to keep her voice level. I shook my head, mostly in pity.

"Have fun, you two. Loki, good luck. You get to spend the day with her." Izzy grinned.

"Excuse me for a second…" she said. She ran into my room. The door closed behind her. A couple seconds of silence elapsed, and the loudest fangirl shriek of all time blasted our eardrums. Loki paled slightly. Thor instinctively raised Mjolnir.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked. I shook my head.

"Don't worry. This is normal. She should calm down in a bit…I hope." Thor nodded. Loki, however, was not reassured. He stared at me like I'd announced the death penalty. More specifically, HIS death penalty.

"Can I go back to Renee's house?" he asked meekly. I almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

"It's just one day, surely you can think of some way to appease her. You will survive this."

"Maybe…" Nicole muttered under her breath. Both me and Loki shot her an evil death glare. Izzy walked out of my room like nothing had happened.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked. Loki shot Thor a pleading glance. Thor shook his head.

"You go have fun. You'll be fine." Loki scowled and walked over to Izzy.

"Where to now?" he asked, resigning himself to his fate.

Later that evening, the sound of tires on the gravel drive announced their arrival. I heard the door open and slam shut. I glanced over the rail, and saw Loki leaning against the door frame, shuddering, and it certainly wasn't from the cold. I smiled to myself.

"So, how was your day with Izzy?" I asked, not sure I wanted to know the answer. Loki dragged himself up the stairs. He was almost to the couch when we heard a car horn, and a thin cry of "BYE STITCH!" Loki tensed, as though ready to flee for his life. The lights faded out of the driveway, and Loki relaxed. He collapsed onto the couch, relieved.

"That bad, huh?" Nicole said dryly. Loki nodded.

"You have no idea. Please, don't make me go home with her again!" He was…OMG…was he actually crying? I wondered exactly what I might have done to him by sending him with Izzy. Great, now I feel bad.

"What happened?" I asked, truly concerned. Loki wouldn't answer. What was that term again?...Catatonic. That's what it was. I knew there was a reason I'd read New Moon. Thor had seated himself next to his brother, and was patting him on the back.

"It's all right brother. We won't send you away with her again." Loki shook his head.

"But she told me…She told me she'd come visit!" He was sobbing. I mentally facepalmed. I would have to have a talk with Izzy after this. "I can't go back there! NOT AGAIN!"

"Don't worry, we won't leave you alone with her." I promised. He peeked up from his arms.

"Thank you…" he whimpered. I inwardly smiled. If Izzy could do this to the god of mischief, there were some names and addresses I needed to give to her. Nicole came over with three mugs of hot chocolate.

"Here, you could probably use this. It should calm you down a bit." Loki accepted the mug gratefully. Nicole smiled as she handed the rest out to me and Thor. We all sat, waiting. Loki finally seemed to calm down enough to recount the events of the afternoon.

"So do you think you can tell us now?" Loki nodded, taking one more sip.

"Well, obviously, we went to her house."

"Anything else you care to share?"

"The car ride was one thing I shall never forget." I was confused.

"But she's a good driver." I said. Loki nodded.

"Yes, yes she is, but her music-demons above and below! It was terrible!" Even more confusion on my part.

"Okay, I'm not even gonna ask…"

"Thank you. Then, when we got to her house, she made me watch movies with her." Uh-oh. Dangerous territory.

"What movie?"

"Lilo and Stitch. Then some movie about sparkly Midgardians who drink blood, or really tan ones who turn into wolves. It made me miss Fenris."

"Oooo-kay…Anything else?"

"I played video games. Halo 4 is quite fun. The holograms, they do this strange victory dance over your corpse. She called it t-bagging, but I fail to see what it has to do with tea." He offered, grinning slightly. I shook my head. Oh, Loki, if only you knew!

"So, was it just the music in the car that made you freak out?"

"Yes, I suppose so. She kept making these weird faces at me."

"She does that to everybody. Don't worry." Loki breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, why did she call you Stitch?" Loki rolled his eyes.

"Since the little alien is blue, and I turn blue, she automatically assumes that we have SOOO much in common. Complete nonsense." I sat back with my arms crossed, and gave him my best impersonation of Nicole's death glare. He thought about it for a moment, and his face fell. "She was right…" he whispered, looking like he might start crying again. "Ohana…" he choked out. Thor looked confused.

"What did you just say?" Loki shook his head.

"I can't say it!" he said, trying to keep it together. I took over.

"It's from Lilo and Stitch. 'Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten'." I quoted. Loki got up and ran from the room crying. Nicole and I glanced at each other.

"Uh, Leah, It might be better if we don't lend him out to any more of your friends…" she said. I nodded.

"Agreed."

"OHANA-A-A-A!"
