Well, I'm back! Summer's been great to me and fill up my scheduel. So to my reader, sorry it's been so long. Duck! *Brick* No need to get volient. Here's the chapter. Enjoy. Family History By Fate nance85@hotmail.com www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bridge/4816/ Chapter 6 Reunion "Mike got it for me last year but forgot what my size was and just picked one. No biggie." I replied not really caring as to what she was saying. "That's it? You two aren't an item or anything but friends?" Mina asked disappointed that Mike's not my boyfriend, yet happy that I'm not seeing him so she might get a chance with him whenever I actually introduce her to him. "Nothing whatsoever but friends." I replied as I put some more books on the bookcase near my window. "Oh, so is he coming to Tokyo with Chris?" Mina asked. "No, he's going New York to see family for spring break." I answered "Oh." "Look, I don't mean to be mean or anything but I have a lot to do between now and tomorrow and I really need all the time I could get. So if there is anymore, please ask me later." Serena said calmly. "Sure, no problem, anyway I got to get going since I promised my mum that I'd help out today." Amy said as she left. "Yeah and I have to .......... take Artemis to the vet for a check up." Mina said as she quickly left the room. "Finally, some time to myself without everyone around. Now where did I put the number to Aunt Karen's?"Serena asked out loud as she started to look through the mess on the floor next to her desk. Later (20 Minutes and a new huge mess of paper) "Hi Aunt Karen. I was wondering if Uncle Ken is still there?" I asked My Aunt Karen. "Yeah he's outside." She replied. "Great! Can I talk to him?" I asked. "No problem, just hang on a second." She said as she put the receiver down. "Sure" *A few minutes later* "Hi, Uncle Ken, I was just talking to Chris who is on a flight to Tokyo and it's arriving at 4:30 this afternoon and I was wondering if you could pick him from the airport?" I asked quickly. "Sure no problem. I'll just drop off Irene and Sammy at home later and head directly to the airport." He said. "Thanks, I really didn't expect him to came to Tokyo." I said. "Like I said, it's no problem." "Thanks again and bye." I repeated and hung up. Sigh. 'Now what, my room's a disaster area and almost my entire family will be here in less than 48 hours. As if things weren't already bad as it is My family chooses now as the time to pay me a so called 'visit' and decided to tell me a the last minute.' "Life sucks, no wonder the say teenager have bad attitudes, we have crazy lives." Serena said out loud to no one in particular. "Oh well, got a room to clean." She said as she walked up the stairs and back to her room. * * * * * * Later that night * * * * * * "Thanks for the ride Uncle Ken" Chris said as he got out of the car with a bag over on shoulder, a suitcase in one hand and headed for the house. "No problem. Though if Serena hadn't called me earlier, I wouldn't have known." Ken replied as he unlocked the front door for Chris. "You know , you don't have to let me here. After all Mary and Catherine will be arriving tomorrow." Chris siad calmly. "Well you are only stay for the night. Your Aunt Irene hasn't seen you since your graduation and she's dying to baby someone and Serena's been trying to become more and more independent by the day." Ken said. "Yeah, that would work. I just feel like I'm putting you out, you already have Serena here and the other two will be here tomorrow......" "It's not a problem." Ken cutted him off as they entered the den. "Alright. So where's Serena's room?" Chris asked after setting his stuff down on the floor. "It's up the stairs and is the first room on the right. Why?" Ken asked. "Just want to tell her I'm here." Chris replied as he headed towards the stairs. * * * * * * "Let's see, the books are shelfed and aphaed, the cd's are in order, the computer is jammed full with e-mail, and my room is fixed to look like new. Oh wait, the trash, nope, took that out already. Then that means I'm done." Serena said as she was lifted off the ground by a pair of strong arms. "Who ever it is, put me down this instance." Serena ordered as Chris swung her around. Finally after a few minutes, he put her down gently. "So, how ya feeling?" He asked. Whack. "That's for scaring the hell out of me." Serena said sweetly as a now semi-conscious Chris got up off the floor, rubbing his now aching jaw gengerly. "Nice right hook. Remind me never to make you angry. Ever again." He commented sourly. "Thanks, so what happened?" Serena said as she got up from the chair she sat on. "What do you mean?" "I mean like you never replied to any of my letters or returned my calls after I'd moved. Then suddenly you called today when everyone of the scouts and Darien happen to be in myroom and tell me your coming. Why put yourself out and come all the way here to see 'little old me' after almost a year of silence. I was lucky Mike was in some of your classes. Seeing that he was the only one in the States willing to acknowledge my presence as a person when my own 'caring' family wouldn't even talk to me unless I had verbally it upon them. Whynow?" Serena finished bitterly as she busied herself with the computer. "I'm sorry, I was just busy with classes and stuff." Chris said as he walked towards her at the computer. "So was I and I took time off to write and call. Don't tell me that school and work has taken up every second of you life for the past year or so." Serena shot back as she got up out of Chris' path. (AN: The fight going on will make a lot of sense in the sequel.) "Look, I know your mad, but when you go back home for spring break you'll understand. So until then, could you just give me a break." Chris asked with a slight hint of guilt in his voice. "Alright, but where's my hug?" Serena said deciding not to further the conversation. * * * * * * "You've done a wonderful job helping me with dinner Reeny. Now could you go tell Serena that dinner's ready?" Irene asked as she put finishing touches on dinner. "Kay." Reeny said as she climbed upstairs. "Just came to remind you that Chris will be staying for the night." Ken said as he reached for a sample of dinner. "Well that what you told me before you went to pick him up and if you want to be useful, you'll put this on the table." Irene said as she smacked Ken's hand away and handed him the center piece. * * * * * * Knock Knock "Serena, dinner's ........." Reeny tril off as she stuck her head in to see Chris hugging Serena. I know, cliffhanger. Sorry but I need a break from typing. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible.
