Sorry, I was away longer than I thought. Anyway, here's the new chapter, enjoy~
"A sleepover?" asked David. Murdoc sighed as he was standing next to Stuart in the Tusspot's dining room.
Stu's parents just got home and right off the bat, the brunette asks them if he could sleepover. 'They're gonna say no.' thought Murdoc.
"Ya, can Murdoc spend the night, or better yet, the weekend?" asked Stuart happily. "I got no problem with it, Murdoc is always welcome here, but what would his parents say?" asked Rachel. The child was shocked, they were letting him stay the weekend?!
"Uh, I already asked, they said so long as you were okay with it." lied Murdoc. "Well, we are, but, where's your things?" asked David. "Murdoc's gonna borrow some clothes since the sleepover idea was thought up not to long ago." said Stuart.
"Of course it was, well Murdoc, we have a guest room if you want to sleep there." offered Rachel. "Thanks, but I'll just bug Stu-pot in his room." snickered Murdoc.
The brunette laughed and lead the other out of the dining room. "This is going to be a lot of fun." cheered Stuart. "Ya, ya, so what's the plan for this sleepover?" asked Murdoc. "Simple, play games, watch a ton of horror movies, and eat a bunch of junk food." smiled Stuart.
"Huh, sounds like a plan, but quick question, do your parents drink?" asked Murdoc. "Um ya, we all do." said Stuart. "No, I mean like beer and stuff, you know, adult drinks?" asked Murdoc.
"Ooh, no, nothing like that." said Stuart. "Damn, oh well, soda it is then." said Murdoc. He walked away and the brunette just stared after him. 'Does Murdoc really drink that stuff?' he wondered.
He shrugged and went into the living room where Murdoc was seated. "So, what first?" asked Murdoc. "Well, why don't I show you around the house since this will be your home for the weekend." said Stuart. Murdoc nodded and got off the couch to follow the brunette.
"You already saw the dining room and living room, the kitchen is in the room behind the dining room." said Stuart. They were in the hallway by the front door where Stuart lead Murdoc down the hall a bit.
"There are two rooms down here, the door on the right is a bathroom and the door on the left is my dad's office." said Stuart. He opened the door so Murdoc could peek in. It was a pretty empty room minus two book cases and a desk with a computer on it.
"He doesn't have much in there." said Murdoc. "I know, I think he still has no idea what to do with the room, so he just put these things in and boom, it's his study." explained Stuart.
Murdoc nodded and they walked away to reach the front door again where a stair case waited. "Let's head upstairs, I'll show you my room." said Stuart.
The five year olds climbed up the stairs where Murdoc saw four doors. "The door closest to us is my room, the door at the end to our right is my parents room, the bathroom is next to my room, and the last door is the guest room." said Stuart.
"Alright, but I'm still crashing in your room." said Murdoc. "Why would you crash, my room isn't too messy." said Stuart. Murdoc just stared at him to groan. "I really do have a lot to teach you." sighed Murdoc.
The brunette only shrugs and the two go into his room. The room was messy, not a part of the floor was visible.
The bed was unmade and sat along the wall by a window, which had it's view blocked by a large tree. There was a small closet across from the bed and a small desk next to it that held a keyboard.
"You play?" asked Murdoc. "Ya, it's a hell of a lot better than the piano." said Stuart. Murdoc laughed to pat the brunette on the back. "Finally, you said your first bad word." said Murdoc. "I know, it felt good too." laughed Stuart.
The child patted his friend's back more to grab the keyboard. "So, you play the piano?" asked Murdoc. "My parents had me taking lessons since I was three, they thought the piano was a good hobby for me, but it sucked, but when I found the keyboard, it just sounded so much better." said Stuart happily.
Murdoc nodded and handed it over to his friend. "Play me something." said Murdoc. The two sat on Stuart's bed and the brunette thought for a second.
With a smile, he starts playing a tune. The keystrokes were perfect, making the music play beautifully through the small room. Murdoc smiled as he listened.
"You're pretty good." said Murdoc. "Thanks, but I bet you'd be better, seeing as you're gonna be a rock star when you're older." said Stuart.
The child smiled, no one really thought he could do it, it was nice to have someone believe in him. 'Though it may end when we get older, it usually does.' thought Murdoc.
"Hey Mudsy, when you're famous, don't forget me, okay?" asked Stuart. "Impossible, you're gonna be there right beside me, after all, you WILL be the best friend to the world's most famous rock star." snickered Murdoc. "Cool, I'm always gonna be your biggest fan." giggled Stuart.
Murdoc just grinned more before he heard yelling. "What was that, your folks fighting?" asked Murdoc. "Nah, that was just dad yelling that dinner is ready." said Stuart.
He put the keyboard on the bed and hopped off. "Come on, mom hates it when I'm late to dinner." said Stuart. The child nodded and the two went downstairs to the dining room.
The table was already set with four plates. Murdoc took a seat next to Stuart as Rachel brought in the food. "What is that?" asked Stuart. "Meatloaf." said Rachel. Murdoc raised an eyebrow, the meatloaf looked like a brick of shit, but it smelled really good.
David got Stuart and Murdoc's plates together, putting meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans onto their plate. The boys took their plates and the meal began.
Murdoc was restraining himself not to just shove all the food into his mouth at once. It was good, no, better than good. The food was absolutely delicious! But then Stuart's parents might start asking questions so Murdoc had to restrain himself.
"So Murdoc, what are your parents like?" asked Rachel. Murdoc nearly choked on his food. 'Shit, they're asking questions.' thought Murdoc. "Ya, what do they do?" asked David.
"Uh well, my mom is dead to start." lied Murdoc. At least he thinks it's a lie, he has no idea what became of his mother, all he knew was that she abandoned him to his father.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." said Rachel. "Ya, what about your father?" asked David. "He's uh, like any other dad." lied Murdoc. 'If any other dad was a drunken cruel abuser.' thought Murdoc bitterly.
"Well, what does your father do for a living?" asked David. Murdoc froze, he had no lie for this one. What could he say?! Stuart saw the distress on Murdoc's face and smiled.
"His dad is a mechanic too." said Stuart. The child looked at his friend as he continued. "Ya, he works at the one downtown." said Stuart. "Oh, how interesting." said David.
Stuart looked to Murdoc to wink, making the child sigh in relief. The rest of dinner went quietly till the two kids finished.
"Murdoc and I are gonna watch some movies." said Stuart. "Alright, but remember sweetie, bedtime is at ten thirty." said Rachel. "Really, on the weekends my dad lets me stay up till midnight." said Murdoc.
Then again, Sebastian never really cared what Murdoc did so long as he didn't bug him.
"Sorry Murdoc, but in this house, bedtime on the weekend is ten thirty." said Rachel. Murdoc shrugged and was dragged out of the room by Stuart.
"So, what movies you got?" asked Murdoc. "A bunch of horror ones, especially zombie movies." said Stuart excitedly.
Murdoc pulled a face once Stuart wasn't looking, he hated zombie movies. They were all the same to him. But, seeing the excited look on his friend's face, especially after he helped lie to his parents, Murdoc decided that he would endure it.
'After all, that's what friends do...right?' thought Murdoc. He seriously had no idea.
A/N: And so, the sleepover begins. Stuart's parents are clueless to the truth about Murdoc's family, thanks to a little help from Stuart. Now, they have horror movies to watch. What will happen next in this little sleepover? Stay tuned and plz review.
