Cook Out

Tuesday, June 11, 2013

Next year I’m going to E3, come hell or high water. In other news Sephiroth spent the whole day locked up in our room whining cuz the poison ivy wouldn’t go away, not even with cure materia. That last part did surprise me, but I’m not all that worried about it even though I should be.

As for my kids… Loz’s wants to be about to sleep in his new room so bad he doesn’t even want a party. I still spent the day calling everyone up to see if they could make it Thursday. I think we’ll just do dinner with whoever can come which at this point doesn’t seem to be too many.

Cloud and Zack are still M.I.A. Tifa said she hadn’t seen or heard from them in a week and I haven’t heard anything since we saw them in Wutai over the weekend. Yuffie said she’d bring Axel and Zexy, but Reno and Rude couldn’t make it cuz they were on a mission. Marcy’s bringing Saix and Demy, but Christian’s out of town on business. And Xemnas told Sephy that he would drop off Riku.

“Why would he just drop off his kid,” Aqua asked me. Since we missed dinner with them over the weekend, Terra and Aqua came over for a dinner tonight. I decided to cook hamburgers on the grill so we wouldn’t bother Sephiroth.

“Because he never wanted to be a dad,” I told her. “It was one of those things were he knocked the girl up and she left him with Xem cuz she didn’t want to be a mom so Riku ends up being raised by the next door neighbor.”

“That’s so bad! Why don’t you take him in?”

“Right, with my three and a fourth on the way. I love the kid, but I’ve go enough on my plate.” 

“What about your sister?”

“Too busy keeping Isdela strait. A task I think she fails at most days.”

“And Isdela?”

I stare at her, “Are you kidding me?”

“Well I just mean with her being with Vincent now and all,” Aqua looked over at me with a confused look on her face.

“Maybe on day,” I say. “But right now I don’t think either of them are ready for a kid.”

She sits in silence for a few moments. Then a smile lights up her face.

“Terra darling,” She coos.

“Oh no,” He protests. “Don’t even think it Aqua.”

“Oh come on hun, we could do it.”

“No Aqua, I’m not ready for kids.”

I look between the two of them. It would be a good move really. Aqua and Terra take in Riku and I could help them out. Xem wouldn’t notice cuz he doesn’t care at all and we wouldn’t have to worry about Leah showing up cuz she never wanted the kid in the first place. Only reason she carried to term was because of her parents.

“How about the two of you talk to Riku Thursday and see how you like him,” I say. “He really is a nice kid and I think you two would make way better parents then Xemnas.”

Terra sighed at the puppy dog face Aqua was giving him.

“Fine,” He caved. “But if I don’t like him or don’t feel ready that’s that. No if, ands, or buts understood.”

Aqua nodded in agreement, although something told me she wouldn’t go down without a fight and Terra would be a push over.

“Is dinner ready yet mama,” Yazoo asked me from the door of the TARDIS.

“Yes dear,” I answer. “Go get your brothers please.”

He calls Zelda out and locks the TARDIS up. Then the two run inside after Kadaj and Loz. I haven’t heard much from either of them today, which worried me a little. I knew Kadaj had been playing with the lock pick set and the chest today. Isdela had told him there was stuff inside for him, but he hadn’t quite mastered it yet so I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to blow something up yet.

Loz on the other hand had been confined to the living room. I had heard him sneak down the hall to see his new room twice last night. If it hadn’t been for Sephiroth being locked away he probably would have tried to sneak a pick while I was out here cooking dinner.

I still needed to call Aranel and Isdela to see if they were coming to Loz’s birthday dinner, but most likely the answer would be yes and Vincent would be in tow. I knew Isdela wouldn’t miss Loz’s reaction to his new room, but I wanted to be sure so I would know how much needed to be cooked… and what. Some of us are pickier eaters than other. Izzy and my sister will eat just about anything, but my house can never decided. What one likes some else doesn’t. This is why we end up eating take out a lot.
