Ch. 13

*Lori's Pov*

When we got home, we sat down to eat pizza and my dad just stared at the necklace. He wasn't happy and then he spoke, "I'm adding a new rule for your summer trip. NO DATING!"

"Sting as much as I don't want Lori to date we can't just stop her." Said, my
mom.

"But Yukino we-" my dad began.

"Not now Sting," said my mom as she gave my dad her serious look. "Lori why don't you and Nashi go upstairs." Said, my mom.

Nashi and I headed upstairs immediately.

*Yukino's Pov*

As soon as I knew Lori was upstairs I looked at Sting and said, "we can't stop her from dating no matter how much we want to."

"But Yukino she's my little girl I don't want to see her date. What if he's a jerk and breaks her heart?" Sting asked.

"Then we will be there to pick up the pieces, OK but we have to trust her in this it's a part of growing up," I said. "I don't want to see Lori date either, but we can't stop her and if we try she would just do it behind our backs."

"I know you're right" Sting sighed.

"I'll call Romeo and Wendy later and let them know that they need to come up with some good dating rules for when Lori visits," I said.

"Ok," said Sting.

*Lori's Pov*

Nashi and I went up to my room and sat down on my bed and as soon as we got comfortable she looked at me and said, "Sooo… how do you like Gale's gift?"

"It's nice, but I don't know what to say to him. I mean remember last time I talked to him it was so awkward."

"How about this? When we get to Fairy Tail if it's ok with your parents, me, you, Gale and Storm can go on a mission." Nashi suggested.

"No! If I go on a mission with you and Storm you are going to make it like a double date." I said.

"Ugh, ok well how about instead of just the four of us we invite Rosemary and Nova?"

Rosemary Fernandes is the 15-year-old daughter of Erza and Jellal Fernandes. She is an average height and she has bright red hair that she usually wears in a braid. Her eyes are brownish blue color and their big like her mom's. She usually wears a black sleeveless halter shirt with black skinny jeans. One reason she dresses like this is that she uses Requip magic like her mom and she can quickly requip
over these clothes. She has two younger siblings Reiki is 13 and Jay is 8. Jay is the only one of the three that inherited their dad's blue hair.

Nova Dreyar is the 14-year-old child of Laxus and Mirajane Dreyar. Nova has long blond hair that she usually wears in a half up half down style. Her eyes are small like her dad, but blue like her mom's. Nova usually wears a purple tank top and black shorts.

Both girls are good friends of Lori's and Nashi's. "That sounds fine," I commented. This way I would have the option to escape from Gale if I got nervous.

"Alright well, we will set it up when we get to Fairy Tail." Said Nashi.

Just then my lacrima rang and I immediately picked it up and answered it. The
face of a little girl with big brown eyes and long light colored bluish purple hair appeared. She was smiling a huge smile and was missing her front teeth and wore a blue dress. The contact name for the lacrima said, Wendy. "Hi, Lori!" The girl said happily. I was trying to remember who she is. She must be my little sister, but I can't remember her name.

Nashi spoke up before I could, "Sam, why are you calling Lori on Aunt Wendy's lacrima? Do you have permission?" Said Nashi. As soon as Nashi's face appeared the little girl looked sort of scared and she stayed quiet. Nashi looked serious. Nashi babysits Sam a lot so she must be used to having to punish her. "Answer the question Sam or I will call and ask Uncle Romeo," threatened Nashi.

"Well um, I didn't ask but I couldn't because mama and daddy aren't here." She said.

"Well, where are they? They wouldn't have left you alone." Said Nashi.

"Well daddy is on a mission and mama got an urgent call that Reiki fell off his new magic bike and they think he broke something, so mama left to go treat him. She said she should be back in about an hour. She left 10 minutes ago. She said she didn't have the time to get us ready and take us with her so we better behave. She left Max here to watch me." Said, Sam.

Nashi sighed. "Well, where is Max?"

"He's downstairs in the basement with Troy. Rin was here, but he left as soon as mama mentioned Reiki. Mama told Troy he should go home and he almost did, but Max convinced him to stay and told me not to mess with anything until he got back up here in about fifteen to thirty minutes. He wanted to finish the level they were on in this new game he got." Said Sam.

Troy is the 13-year-old son of Alzack and Bisca Connell.

Nashi sighed again, "Ok well I want you to stay here and talk to Lori, but first I need to tell her something. Then she's all yours."

Nashi motioned for me to follow her into the hallway and once she shut the door she said, "As you can tell my cousin and your brother is an idiot. I'm going to call Storm so he can go over there and make sure they're ok. Then I'm calling Master Laxus and seeing if I can talk to my aunt if she's not too busy. I want you to talk to Sam so we can make sure she doesn't get into any trouble until Storm gets there."

I nodded and went back into my room and picked up the lacrima and said: "Ok Sam what do you want to talk about?"

"What's your favorite color? Food? Magic? Plant? Book?" She began going so fast I barely understood.

This was going to take a while.

*Nashi's Pov*

Storm immediately picked up "Hey Nash- why do you look so pissed off?"

"Well, my aunt Wendy got a call that Reiki fell off his magic bike and is injured so she ran to the guild leaving Max in charge of Sam. Then, Max convinced Troy to go against my aunt who told him to go home and instead he stayed to play games.
Rin was there, but he left to go check on Reiki. Sam in return called Lori on my aunt's lacrima. I know your parents aren't home and Crystal is still having her sleepover with Nova. Can you please go over to my aunt's house and watch Sam till my aunt gets home?"

"Yes, and I will try and knock some sense into your cousin and Troy." Said Storm.

"Thanks, Storm."

"Your welcome babe I love you"

"I love you too," I said.

Then I hung up and dialed the number for master Laxus Dreyar. No answer. I tried again. "Hello," and the face of Laxus's wife Mirajane appeared. "Oh, hello Nashi, Laxus is busy what is it you need?"

I could tell she is in the guild so I asked, "is my aunt Wendy there?"

"Yes, but she's really busy Nashi," said Mira.

"Well can you let her know that I asked Storm to go over there and watch Max and Sam. Also, if Bisca and/ or Alzack is there let them know that Troy is still at the house even after my aunt told him to leave." I said.

"Yes, I will but Wendy told me that Max was watching Sam I mean he is almost 13 and Troy should have left." Said Mira.

"Well, Max convinced Troy to stay and play games. He's not watching Sam." I said.

Mira looked pissed, "alright I'll tell her well I need to go bye Nashi," she said.

"Hold on, how's Reiki?" I asked.

"He's doing better I think Wendy said he broke his arm and 3 ribs, the worst thing is one of the broken ribs punctured his lung so your aunt is working very hard to help him." Said Mira.

"Well I hope he feels better, bye Mira," I said.

"Bye Nashi." Said Mira, then she hung up.

I walked back into Lori's room and heard Sam talking and saw her showing Lori her dolls as I sat back down on the bed. Three minutes later I heard a knock, it was coming through the lacrima speakers.

*Storm's Pov*

I may be dumb sometimes, but I'm not that dumb. Reiki gets injured and you sit on your butts and play video games and leave your eight-year-old sister basically alone with no protection! I was not happy. This wouldn't go well for either of those 2 boys. I got to the door and Sam answered it "hi" she said.

I pointed to the couch and said: "sit." I continued walking and I went into the basement passed the game room door and walked into the dance studio from there I went into the bathroom that connected the game room, bar, and ballet room. I quietly exited the bathroom and quickly walked to the front and pulled the plug.

Two boys simultaneously screamed, "what was that for?"

I looked at Max first, "I don't know what to say to you right now. I don't understand you. You claim to love Sam, but when you have been left home alone
with her you leave her basically by herself to play games! I could have stood there for 5 minutes and you would never have known I was there. What if I was an attacker? I could kill Sam before you even knew! Go upstairs." He looked embarrassed and ashamed.

Next, I turned to address Troy he is short for his age with green hair and brown eyes. "Go home!" He ran. I don't think I've ever seen that kid run that fast. Guess he was scared I might tell his parents? Or his siblings? But I had no reason to they probably already knew and if they didn't they would soon.

I walked into the living room and I looked at Max he was sitting beside Sam on the couch. I looked at Max and said, "seems your sister called Lori on your moms lacrima and Nashi is visiting her so she called me to come down here since you can't watch your sibling."

Max glared at his sister and she looked scared, then he turned to me, but just before he spoke the door opened and in walked Romeo with a big bouquet of flowers. When he saw me he almost dropped them he put them on the counter and then looked at me. "What the hell is going on? And where is Wendy?" Asked Romeo.

"Well Reiki fell off his magic bike and Wendy is at the guild treating him. And Nashi called me after Sam called Lori. Nashi told me that Sam said Max had convinced Troy to stay when Wendy told him to go home and that Max was supposed to be watching her but was instead playing games with Troy." I said.

"Well thank you Storm, but I think you should go home."

I nodded and left.

*Max's Pov*

Okay so I wanted to play more games, but I didn't think about Sam being in danger. I mean she's almost 9. I was nine when I got to go on my first mission alone with Rin, Troy, and Nashi. Plus, if she had just done what I said then Storm wouldn't have come. We were almost finished with that level anyways, but now we have to start at the beginning. I looked at my dad and I could tell he is pissed.

*Romeo's Pov*

So, I'm ticked I come home to surprise Wendy and find out that Reiki is injured and my son put his sister in danger! I looked at Sam, "You are grounded from the lacrima screen for one week because you used mommy's lacrima without permission. Now go to your room. I'm going to make dinner and I'll call you when it's done."

Sam nodded and headed down the hall. I turned my attention to Max. "What the hell were you thinking? You left Sam on the main floor of the house alone! What if something bad had of happened to her?" I screamed.

Max looked ashamed. "I'm really sorry dad. I didn't think about Sam being in danger."

"You never think before you act! You're grounded from your lacrima, the lacrima screen and the basement for 2 months! And you're going to clean the entire house on Saturday! You're going to apologize to your mom, Sam, and Alzack and Bisca for convincing Troy to do wrong! Now go to your room. Oh and no missions for a month either."

Max stomped angrily to his room, but he knows better than to back talk me when I'm this mad. Just as I'm about to walk into the kitchen I hear the door open and close. It's probably Wendy so I run and grab the flowers as I yell "Wendy you home?"

I walk into the living room and she is standing in the doorway I walk over and handed her the flowers. Then I wrap my arms around her and pull her close covering her lips with mine. She puts her arms around me to deepen the kiss and soon I slowly pull away for air. "What was that for?" Asked Wendy.

"What I can't bring home flowers for my wife and greet her with a kiss?" I said.

"You can, I liked it. I just didn't expect it."

"Good," I replied.

Wendy looked at me and said, "dinner is in the oven."

"Thank God I don't have to cook," I said.

She laughed. Everybody hates when I cook because the only good thing I make is grilled cheese. "So, I heard about what Max and
Sam did. How did you punish them?"

We sat down on the couch and I said, "I told Sam she can't watch the lacrima screen for 1 week." Wendy nodded in agreement. "I grounded Max from his lacrima, the lacrima screen and the basement for 2 months; he also has to clean the entire house on Saturday; he has to apologize to you, Sam, and Alzack and Bisca for convincing Troy to do wrong; and he can't go on missions for a month."

"Don't you think you're being a little tough?" Asked Wendy.

"Wendy, he left Sam basically by herself to PLAY GAMES! He's lucky, I haven't gone downstairs and roasted that game console!"

"I know, but… ok, just know he's going to take this out on you."

I sighed, "I know and I hate having to be so hard on him, but he needs to learn."

Wendy started to get up and call the kids for dinner, but I remembered something. I put my hand on her knee and said, "Yukino called me not long before I got home."

Wendy sat back down and looked at me and said, "Why? Is something wrong?"

"No," I said slightly agitated as I remembered what Yukino said. "It seems that Lori got a birthday gift from Gale and he told her that he wanted to hang out with her, so Sting and Yukino think it would be wise for us to come up with some dating rules for when she visits," I informed my wife unhappily. I didn't want her to date.

Wendy chuckled. So, before she could respond I said, "what's funny?"

"You, being a dad. You don't like that Gale likes our daughter. You're protective."

"Damn right I am, I just got Lori back in my life as my daughter and now Gale wants to steal all my time with her. I'm just starting to get to know her and I'm already losing her." I said.

"I know honey, but we have to let her grow up. We can help her though and make sure she doesn't make the same mistake we did." Said Wendy.

"She better not get pregnant at 16, I'll beat her ass after Sting is done with her," I said.

"She won't, now let's feed our kids." Said Wendy.

This summer is going to be busy I thought as we walked into the kitchen.
