Chapter 2: House Warming

After their lunch, they returned home to chill out for a while. Bomb was watching TV, Red was doing his sculpture in his study, and Chuck was in the shower. There was a knock on the door that caught Bomb's and Red's attention.

Red: Hey, Bomb. Can you see who is at the door please?

Bomb: Sure.

He got up and walked towards the front door. He opened it and it was their anger management teacher, Matilda, and her lover, Terence.

Matilda: Hi, Bomb! Is Red here?

Bomb: Hi, Matilda, Terence! Yeah, he's here. Red! It's Matilda & Terence!

Red was surprised to hear this. He walked to the front door and Bomb gave a little bit of space for Red.

Matilda: Hi, Red! How's everything so far?

Red: Hey, Matilda! Hi, Terence! Everything's good. So what brings you here out of the blue?

Matilda: Well, I just stopped by to bring you a nice house warming gift.

The gift was a small frame with the words "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS".

Red: Oh. Thanks for the gift. Very thoughtful.

Matilda: You're very welcome, Red.

Red: Where are my manners? Do you guys want to come in?

Matilda: Oh, we'd love to. But we can't, because Terence is about to take me somewhere interesting.

Terence grunted happily with a smile on his face.

Red: Oh, okay. Have fun.

Matilda: Thanks, Red! See you guys in class tomorrow!

Matilda and Terence left. Red thought he didn't need to go to class anymore because he knew he had resolved his anger issues. As soon as he closed the door,

Red: I thought we were done with classes?!

Bomb: I thought so too. Well, guess we just have to go with the flow.

Red: Seriously?! It's the most pointless class ever! I know that my anger issues are gone!

Chuck: (coming out from the shower) Hey, what's the commotion here?

Bomb: Matilda and Terence were here to bring a house warming gift. And Matilda said that she'll see us in class tomorrow.

Chuck: Ooh. What gift is that?

Red showed the gift to Chuck.

Chuck: Aww. How thoughtful of her.

Red: Yeah.

There was another knock on the door.

Red: Ugh. Who is it this time?

Red opened the front door and it was Hal and Bubbles.

Hal: Hi, Red! Remember us?

Red: Yeah, you're the one who has boomerang skills and the other can inflate into a bubble.

Bubbles: That's right! So surprising that you still remember us.

Hal: Anyway, we brought some food here.

Bomb: Really? We just had lunch.

Bubbles: Not for now, silly. For tonight.

Chuck: You mean, you are going to have dinner with us here?

Hal: Yeah, consider this your little house warming gift! And also, this is a great opportunity for us to know you guys more.

Chuck: (squealing) Of course, why not! The more, the merrier!

Red: Hold on a second, Chuck. You don't decide, I do. Although you two are my roommates, this is still my house.

Chuck: You're right. I'm sorry, Red.

Red: Don't be sorry, Chuck. I understand. (to Hal and Bubbles) Sure, why not.

Bubbles: Great! Can we come in?

Red: Sure, come on in.

This was a first for Red, he never had any group dinners before, let alone in his own home.
