Fifteen Years Later....

[Renee]

Mimi: *wiggles a finger in her ear, still has Ricky on her mind* You guys wanna say it a little louder? I don't think the kids in China heard you clearly! Geez! XP

Minnie: *grabs Mimi by the shoulders* MIMI, OMG!! Did you hear what she said?! Kenny told Kairi he loved her!! Isn't that amazing?! *shakes her* THAT'S SOOOO ROMANTIC!!!

Mimi: *aggravated* I KNOW!! >< I know, I've always knew he did! I get it, okay, I got it. They love each other, whoop dee do! It wasn't that big of a secret to begin with, it was only a matter of time before they actually said it to each other anyway...

Girls: OO...

Lilani: Wow, sorry Mimi sweetie, were we really that loud?

Mimi: Auntie...They dead could've heard what you were saying... >>

Minnie: *lets go of her shoulders* Sorry Mimi. We were just excited that's all... *turns to Kairi* Oh, so what happened next Kairi?

Moe: Yeah, how did you feel afterwards!

[wallysgirl]

Kairi: Well, I felt like I was on cloud nine! And I was so warm and fuzzy inside. Then he kissed me sweetly and he hugged me close. I could hear his heart beating. *giggles*

Lilani: Wow, that sounds SOOOOOO Romantic!!! *sighs happily*

Kairi: Then we sat under a tree and stared at the stars! And we stayed there for a bit and it was so peaceful. I was wrapped in his warm arms and he held me close. And we stared up at the sky. It was so nice. =)

Minnie: *giggles* No wonder you were so blushy earlier!! ;D *giggles*

Mo: But I don't get it, what are you so antsy about? After a nght like that you should be thrilled!

Kairi: *sits back down* Don't get me wrong, I am! I love Kenny with all my heart! ^-^ But....I don't know if I should be happy... ....Akito's mom....Auntie Yuki just died. I mean, I was devastated....and I hated beng sad....but mourning seemed appropriate you know? And Akito is so fragile he said he was afraid of anyone else leavng him. I feel like I'm supposed to be mournng right now, I still can't believe she's gone. But I'm so ecstatic about my relationship with Kenny! He makes my heart sing and I always feel like I'm lighter than air. He just makes me so....soo....*eyes go day-dreamy* *sighs happily* I just love him so much!!! *squeals a little and giggles to himself*

L, M, M:

Kairi: But on top of all of that, mom and dad have been talkng a lot about the new baby. Though she's n her early weeks, it sounds like it's going to get hectic here pretty soon. Plus mom's working on some movie thing and dad's workng on a new album, I feel like I'm supposed to be focused and help them anyway I can. On top of my school work. GAH! *covers her head* It's too much! I mean, I just found out my mom is pregnant, my aunt is dead, and my boyfriend loves me all in less than 24 hours! Of course I'm wigging out!!! ARRGGGHH!!!!! *runs her hands through her hair before falling backwards on the floor* .............I'm a nervous wreck...T-T

[wallysgirl]

*Then Alvin comes in*

Alvin: Kairi? Sweetie, can you come here a sec?

Kairi: Uh? Oh, sure dad, what's up?

Alvin: *chuckles a bit* You'll see! Excuse us girls...

*Alvin and Kairi walk down the hallway*

Alvin: You know how you're mom's having those weird cravings now?

Kairi: Yeah?

Alvin: Check this out.



Rika: Hm....did I put in the right amount?

Kairi: Oh, wowo!

Alvin: She's trying out a new recipe in hopes that it'll fulfill her cravings.....*turns to Kairi* But I've got an idea. I don't want her to stress too much, so I'm gonna need you're help now. Where gonna make the most delicious meals for your mom so she won't have to lift a finger.

Kairi: Really?! I like the sound of that dad! ^^

Alvin: Great! We'll start early tomorrow morning, so make sure you get good rest tonight b/c we're getting up early to serve her breakfast in bed.

Kairi: Sounds like a plan!

Alvin: *hugs her* That's my girl! ^^ Now you go and have fun....you need a break.

Kairi: ....Thanks dad....*nods* *hugs him before going back to the others in her room* Hey guys, I'm back! ^^ So, what should we do first?

[Renee]

Mimi: How about we watch a movie?

Minnie: Great idea Mimi!! Which movie do you want to watch Kairi?

Kairi: Hmmm...*is going through the box of movies* Oooh!! What about this one?! *holds up a WallE DVD* I looooove this movie! *giggles*

M, M, M, L: Yeah!!

Mimi: Great pick, WallE is a cool movie!

Moe: PLUS, it's fluffy!! ;D

Lilani/Kairi:*sighs dreamily* Yeeeeeah...

Minnie: *pops the DVD in* Shoosh everyone, it's starting!

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Ally: Yuki wanted me to deliver this to you when she passed. *hands Simon a dvd*

Simon:Huh? What is this?

Ally: Her will. She also wanted me to mention that she wants the whole family to come to watch it. It's-

*the door SLAMs open*

Simon:*looks at Roz, who is in the doorway* *mutters* Why did Yuki give her a key?-_-

Roz: WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL TO TELL ME SHE'S GONE?!!?!

Simon: I was going to get around to it. Wait, how did you know?

Roz: *looks away* I kinda felt it. Like a part of me was gone. *looks at Ally* Who's that? *points to him* A Yuki cosplayer?

Ally:'^^ I'm Yuki's twin brother, Allister

[RohaHat]

Roz: *stomps over to Ally, staring him in the eyes* Reeeeeeeally?

Ally: Uh, yeah.

Roz: ... Alright then.

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Ally: And you are...?

Simon: That's Roz. A family friend, you can say. We've all known each other since we were teens. She and Yuki used to get into a lot of random trouble *glares at Roz*

[RohaHat]

Roz: Since kids, actually, and I was young and foolish. Bloody good times, though.

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Simon:...Right. *picks up the DVD* Should we watch this then? We'll have to call Alvin and Rika and Theodore.

[wallysgirl]

Rika: *comes in with a bowl of popcorn for the girls* Hi girls!!! ;D

Girls: Hi Auntie Seville!!

Kairi: Are you feeling better mom? ^^

Rika: *eats some of the popcorn* Yes, much! ^^ I'm about to try a new recipe that I was working on but I thought I'd bring you guys some popcorn. ^^ *eats some more*

Lilani: Oo...um...you sure you don't want to keep it for yourself? ;D

Minnie/Mo: *giggles*

Rika: *anime sweatdrop* S-sorry '^^ I can't help it, I just have the munchies so much. *grabs a handful for herself before handing the bowl to Lilani* Enjoy girls! It's really good! ^^ *eats some of the popcorn from her hand* Let me know if you need anything!!!

Girls: Thanks Auntie!!! ^^

Rika: *nods, and leaves, only to bump into Alvin* Oop!! A-alvin!

Alvin: *spins her around* Hey love! *kisses her cheek and her nose*

Rika: Whoo!! *holds onto him for dear life with one arm around his neck* A-alvin, what are you...

Alvin: Just happy that you're my babe! ^^ *gives her an eskimo kiss*

Rika: Alvin....^^

Alvin: *leans his forehead against hers* I love you Rika....so much, I love you!! *holds her close*

Rika: ....A-alvin...*sighs, rests her head on his shoulder* Babe, what brought this on all of a sudden?

Alvin: *shrugs and hugs her tighter* I just....*sighs*....Rika, *buries his nose in her hair* You're the most amazing....I can't believe how lucky I was to find you...and now we're having....

Rika: Oh Alvin....*stares into his eyes before kissing him softly* You're wonderful, amazing, caring, I love you so much. ^^ I'm lucky to have you too. *giggles*

Alvin: *trails his hand over to the one not around his neck and takes some of the popcorn, eats it*

Rika: OO...*smirks* You sure you weren't just saying this to get my popcorn. *pulls away from him a bit*

Alvin: Maybe. *takes another piece and holds it in front of her, she eats it*

Alvin: But I meant every word. ^^ *kisses her nose*

Rika: *smiles, takes his hand with her free one* C'mon, let's go watch TV. ^^

Alvin: YAY! Movies of me from the old days?! ;D

Rika: *giggles* Sure, why not? ^^

Alvin: *scoops her up bridal style* Away we go!!! *takes her to the living room where they settle down to watch TV*

^^

(lil Alvin/Rika fwuff ^^)

[Renee]

(Awww, so cuuute!! <3)

Jojo: *knocks on the door* Momma? Um...I made you some tea and cookies. *looks down hestantly* To help you feel better. *shows her the tray*

Renee: *wipes away some tears* O-oh, Jojo *sniffs* I-I didn't hear you knock, come in boo. *sits up in bed*

Jojo: *walks in and sets the tray of tea and cookies on the end table, he opens his mouth to speak but closes it sadly*

Renee: Oo... Baby, what's wrong?

Jojo: I...I don't want you to cry anymore, but I don't know how to make you happy...I haven't been very good at that lately. *Shoves his hands in his pockets and looks off to the side guilty* *tears spring to is eyes*

Renee: Oh, oh, oh, oh... C'mere... *gathers him up in a hug and cuddles him* You don't have to worry about not making me happy. You and your sister make me happier each day. It's just that this is...How mommy deals with her sadness. *tears fall from her eyes* But you, Mimi and your dad help make it better.

Jojo: *nods, and wipes away his tears* Momma? C-can I stay in here for awhile? A-at least until dad comes home from the store?

Renee: *smiles at him and kisses his head* Of course. I can really use my baby's company right now. *scoots over to make some room for him*

Jojo: *snuggles into Renee, he listens to her heartbeat*

[wallysgirl]

*Alvin and Rika watching an old film with Alvin in it, they're snuggled on the couch*

Rika: *sighs happily, snuggles into Alvin's chest*

Alvin: *hugs her closer*

Rika:.......*pauses the film*

Alvin: Oy! It was just getting to the good part!! *looks at her*

Rika: .....Alvin....*looks at him* I'm sorry, but are you worried about Simon?

Alvin: Babe....*brushes her hair from her face and cups her cheek*

Rika: *leans into his touch*

Alvin: *sighs* Honestly, I've been trying not to think about. Otherwise it hurts to much.

Rika: Alvin....

Alvin: I care about Yuki.

Rika: I know.

Alvin: ....and if it's this upsetting for us....I can't even imagine what Si's going through. I-I get upset just thinking about it.

Rika: Oh....babe, I'm sorry. I-i didn't mean too...

Alvin: *hugs her tightly* No...i-it's okay....it's not really something we ignore...

*Rika's head is tucked under Alvin's chin*

Alvin:...on the other hand.....*his paw trails down to her tummy* Life goes on as well.

Rika: *gasps* A-alvin....

Alvin: *gives her a sad smile* You shouldn't fret about it too much, it's not good for you or the baby....and I want this one to be healthy as well.

Rika: *sniffles, a tear falls from her eyes and Alvin wipes it away* I'm sorry.

Alvin: Don't be...*cups her face in both of his paws* ....that big heart of yours is one of the reasons I feel in love with you. *gives her a dreamy look*

Rika: *smiles back, blushing slighly*

Alvin: *kisses her softly*

Rika: Hmm..^^

Alvin: *pulls away* I tell you what....if it makes you feel better....we'll make sure Si and Akito are okay....but i think it'd be better if we let them call us. Both are very sensitive and if we bring this to their attention....it could break them down.

Rika: Y-you think so.

Alvin: It's a very sensitive issue Babe. Please, you worrying about it isn't healthy. We'll never forget Yuki....

Rika: Yes, she'll always be in our hearts. *leans her head on Alvin's* Thank you Alvie.

Alvin: Hey, anything for my baby!...Oo...and our baby! ^^

Rika: *giggles a little and nods* But, promise me we will make sure they're okay.

Alvin: Of course, I'm not heartless!

Rika: *giggles* Of course not, you have the biggest heart of anyone I know. ^^ *kisses him*

*meanwhile, the girls upstairs are watching WALLE*

Minni: Awww! He just wants to hold her hand!!!!

Mo: That's so sweet!!!!

Lilani: Yes, but that Autopilot is SO mean!! He'd better leave WALLE alone!!

Mimi: I like Mo, he's so funny!! ;D

Kairi: Shh, they're dancing in space now!!! OMG, that's so beautiful!!! ^^ *puppy dog eyes*

[wallysgirl]

*Movie ends*

Mo: Hm, now what should we do?

Lilani: SHOPPING SPREEE!!!

Teen munks: YEAH!!! ;D

Mimi: No....T-T

Lilani: Oh, c'mon Mimi! Shopping is fun!

Minnie: Plus, we need to cheer up Kairi. ^^

Mimi: Can't we do something else? I have enough clothes in my closet from you guys.

Kairi: *smirks, leans so only Mimi can here* Who knows, you may run into Ricky at the mall.

Mimi: *blushes* You're annoying, you know that? T-T...

Kairi: So, is that a yes?! ^^

Mimi: *sighs* Let's get this over with....

Kairi: *Squeals and hugs Mimi tightly* THANK YOU!

Mimi:

[Renee]

*so they like totally get to the mall and stuff like for real ya know? XD*

Mimi: How do I let myself get into these messes?

Minnie: Because you love us that's why... and besides look at how much fun Kairi's having! *nods to Kairi* See?

Kairi: *is looking at clothes on the racks* Oooooh!! Kenny would love me in this dress! Pink really brings out my eyes! *giggles* Hmmm, maybe I should by something for Kenny too? Maybe a shirt or a pair of jeans!

Lilani: OMG!! That would be sooooo sweet!!

Moe: You see how shopping puts smiles on everyone's faces Mimi? ;D It's Theraputic...

Mimi: Mmm, yeah, this sure does put a smile on my face... *looks off to the side and notices Ricky in a dress shop*

Ricky: *spots her and runs over to her* Mimi!! Hey, I thought you were with your aunts and Kairi, what's up?

Mimi: Uh...I am. They decided to go shopping to try and cheer Kairi up. Um, what are you doing here.

Ricky: Oh... I'm here with my mom. See, when you had other plans today I had no choice but to come with her dress shopping. ALL DAY. It's been awful... *shudder* I swear, I was THIS close to strangling myself with a belt before I saw you. XP So I'm glad you showed up when you did. You're a lifesaver you know, I owe you big time.

Mimi: *blushes and nudges him playfully* Hey, no need to thank me. You saved me from hours of boredom too. *smiles and twirls a lock of her hair shyly* Heh-heh, so I guess we can call it even...

Ricky: Yeah, *smiles back at her with a hint of shyness* I guess we can...

[wallysgirl]

(the following dialogue was thought up by Renee; thankies girl! ^^ Alvin's worse nightmare is staring to arise! XD)

*Alvin & Rika are still watching TV @ home. Rika just ate the new dish she made, and a tub of ice cream*

Rika: Alvin, sweetie can you get me some pudding? ^^ *nuzzles him sweetly*

Alvin: Oo...Pudding? B-but hon you've just eaten a huge tub of icecream.

Rika: ... So?! I-It's because I'm gaining weight isn't it?! :-[If you think I'm fat then just say it!! *bursts into tears* You don't love me anymore!!

Alvin: *is freaked out* O-oh...R-Rika love, d-don't cry...I'll go get you some pudding okay? Uh...Be right back! *runs to the store in a hurry then comes back* Tah-dah! *shows her the bowl of pudding*

Rika: *giggling* Yes! Pudding!! *looks at the bowl teary eyed*

Alvin: Oo...R-Rika...?

Rika: *teary smile* I-it's just that...I can't believe you'd go ALL the way to the store just to get ME pudding. *glomps him* I don't deserve you! You're the best Alvin!! *cries into his shirt*

Alvin: Oo...*patting her back* Um...Thanks?

Rika: *soaking his t-shirt with her tears*

Alvin: *sighs* This must be those mood swings Bobby warned me about...T-T

------------------------

Kairi: *looks up and sees Mim talking to Ricky* ...Aww!! *giggles*

Lilani: What is it Kairi?

Kairi: *giggles* Oh, nothing! ^^

Lilani: *leaning on the clothes rack* So... what did Kenny say when he realized you were upset about Auntie Yuki?

Kairi: *sighs* There was nothing he could say....*checking out an outfit* I mean, he didn't know her as well as us....all he could do was be there. He asked me if I wanted to talk about it and he said he wanted me to know he was there for me. *small smile* I was so upset that night.....does this skirt make me look fat?

Lilani: No! Of course not! But try this red one, I think it may look better on you than the white one.

Kairi: ^^ Thanks girl! *takes the skirt and holds it up to the mirror with her new top*

Lilani: So....he REALLY told you he loved you, huh? He finally did it? Oh, I wish I could have been there!

Kairi: *sighs, holds her hands to her chest* Lilani, I swear my heart has never beat as fast as it did that night. ^^ And he was so kind and sweet about it, and even a little shy. *giggles* He was just so concerned about me, I could feel it in the energy between us. He's the kindest guy I've ever met.

Lilani: Oh yeah, you two are soulmates!! ;D Ooh girl! That looks cute! Go try that on! Hurry up! *shoves Kairi into a dressing room* Meanwhile, I'm going to try to find something for Mimi! ^^

Kairi: Maybe you guys should ask Mim what she would like for you to get her?!

Lilani: Aw, c'mon! I think I know my little niece, Kairi. ^^

Kairi: Okay, whatever you say....
