�Uncle Bob, you�re suffocating me,� Niki grunted in a high pitched tone as she was being squished in Bobby�s arm.
�Sorry, I�m so just so happy,� Bobby sniffled, wiping away tears of joy with his sleeve. �You and Jessica are engaged, Vicki is moving in with Alec in two days, and Michelle finally found someone crazy enough to put up with her.�
�I resent that,� Michelle retorted rolling her eyes. Making a comeback, she stated �Well uncle Bob, I guess it�s only you left now.� She immediately received a deadly glare from her uncle after that remark.
Bobby�s voice turned from blubbery to excited in a matter of seconds as he sprung away from his two nieces and proclaimed, �Omigod! I gotta go call your parents in New York!�
�Wow, talk about mood swings,� Vicki teased as she watched her uncle bounce into his room. She turned her attention to her two engaged sisters and cried, �I�m so happy for you guys!!!�
The four sisters threw their arms around each other for a sentimental sisterly embrace while strokes of happy tears formed at the corner of their eyes.
About fifteen minutes after disappearing into his room, Bobby jolted back out into the living room and announced loudly and very excitedly, �Your parents were so ecstatic when I told them your engagement news, they�re coming here in a week!!�

�We gotta tell him sometime,� Michelle said softly as she twirled the cord connected to the phone with her index finger.
On the other line, Ron sighed while he massaged the corner of his eyes, �I know, but I feel horrible. He�s been my buddy since high school, we�re practically like brothers. And now...�
�I should be the one that feels horrible, I feel like I�ve come in between two best friends.� Michelle cut in as she slouched down onto her pillow, looking helplessly at the ceiling.
�Don�t say that, you can�t help how you feel about me. After all, I�m simply irresistible,� Ron replied, cracking a joke to break the ice.
Michelle smiled while snapping, �Shut up, you�re so conceited. But we still gotta tell him. It�s best that he finds out by you than by anyone else.�
Giving in, Ron groaned loudly into the phone and croaked, �Alright. Maybe tomorrow...but you have to come with me somewhere first...�

A pack of little kids began shooting from left, right, and centre as the last bell echoed through the school grounds.
Running behind a pack of kids the same age as him, Jacky yelped happily as he jumped into Michelle�s arms, �Aunty Michelle!�
She grinned as she knelt down, pinching his cheeks. �Aw, hey squirt. Did you miss me?�
Jacky bobbled his head up and down continuously. �Uh huh, how come you didn�t come visit me for so long?� He whined before he stuck out his bottom lip.
�Aunty Michelle�s been really busy, but I�m here now,� Michelle said brightly as she held out a package containing a Nintendo XP.
A cheeky smile appeared across Jacky�s face as he hugged the Gameboy to his chest after taking it from Michelle.
She grinned then grabbed his little hand, leading him out of the school�s playground. �Come on, Uncle Ron is waiting for us in the car. Did you have fun at school today?�
Nodding his head enthusiastically, Jacky held out a drawing he did earlier in art class and boasted, �I got an �A� on my picture.�
Michelle�s heart melted as she looked at the adorable drawing in Jacky�s hand.
Pointing to the picture, Jacky perkily explained, �The little one is Jacky, and that is you with the long hair and...�
Michelle squinted her eyes and asked, �What about that big blob of brown?�
�That�s the Moron,� Jacky blurted innocently.
Michelle couldn�t hold in her laughter as she opened the door to Ron�s Prelude.
�What�s so funny?� Ron asked suspiciously looking at his girlfriend who was trying to hold in laughter.
Michelle gave Ron her most innocent stare as she replied, �Oh nothing.�
�Well, aren�t you happy to see your Uncle Ron?� Ron asked, turning his attention to Jacky who was pulling on his set belt in the back seat.
The little boy looked up and grinned, �Hi Moron!�
Ron could feel his teeth clench together as he growled, �Why you little mons-...�
�Ron!� Michelle shouted, stopping her boyfriend from blowing his top.
�It�s all your fault,� Ron muttered to himself as he pulled the car out of the parking spot.
Michelle turned around and gave Jacky a discrete little wink.
- - -
�So what do you wanna eat today, you little mons- Ouch!� Ron winced in pain as he suddenly felt a sharp kick to his shin from underneath the table.
�How about we get a pizza and share it?� Michelle suggested, smiling at Jacky. The kid was too engaged in his new toy notice anything around him.
She shrugged and replied, �Hm, I guess pizza it is.� Michelle signalled to the waiter to come take their order.
As they waited for their food, Jacky suddenly made an unexpected outburst, announcing, �Jacky needs to go potty.� He quickly bounced from his chair and made a mad dash for the washroom.
�Go with him,� Michelle cried, urging Ron to accompany the little boy. He rolled his eyes and continued to sit still like a log as she said crossly, �You don�t expect me to take him into the mens room do you?�
Receiving the most threatening glare from Michelle, Ron sighed and got up from the table. �I�m never gonna have kids,� he muttered to himself as he walked into the men�s room after Jacky.
- - -
Ron breathed a sigh of relief after he dropped Jacky off at his house, �Finally, that kid is such a handful.�
�Shut up, maybe if you stop calling him little monster he wont be such a brat to you,� Michelle snarled , giving Ron a punch in the arm.
�He started it,� Ron retorted childishly, �Sheesh. If his mom wasn�t so nice, I never woulda...� Ron quickly snapped his mouth shut as soon as he caught the evil glare from Michelle. His voice changed from sour to sweet as he said, �Well princess, just for you I�ll be nicer to him.�
Patting his head like an obedient puppy, Michelle teased, �Aw, that�s a good boy.�
�Does this good boy deserve a kiss?� Ron puckered his lips as he unbuckled his seat belt and mischievously leaned over on top of Michelle.
Slapping him gently, Michelle squealed childishly, �Stop it moron, we�re in public.�
As Ron pouted and settled back into his seat, they both noticed a cold pair of eyes stare at them from the other side of the street. Sammul smiled uneasily and quickly looked away.
___________________________________________________________
�Listen, you don�t have to explain. I understand,� Sammul spoke slowly yet enthusiastically as he gave Ron a playful punch in the arm, �I�m just surprised that�s all.� His eyes were fixed on the glass of water sitting in front of him as he tried to maintain a fake smile on his face.
Ron studied his friend as he solemnly said, �Buddy, I really wanted to ask for your permission cuz I know you really like...�
Sammul quickly cut in, saying, �Hey, that was in the past. I�m over her now. I see Michelle like a little sister. So if you ever hurt her...�
�I wont...I�m crazy about her,� Ron said softly, lowering his head in guilt, �but our friendship is really important. So...�
Cutting in with a faint voice, Sammul asked, �Is she crazy about you?�
Ron shrugged, grinning boyishly as he thought if Michelle�s face. �I think so.�
�Well I wish you guys the best of luck. But right now I have a date.� Sammul swiftly sat up from his seat and pulled on his jacket. �You better take good care of my little sister.� Those were his words before rushing out of the restaurant.
Only an idiot like Ron would believe Sammul�s story.

�One more please,� Sammul grunted, holding out an empty glass of a strong concocted drink. His face was red and the only thing his eyes could make out were blurry images as he tried to sit up straight on the stool.
�Coming right up,� the bartender exclaimed, setting down a wine glass he was wiping.
As Sammul held the newly filled glass to his lips, a voice cried out, �Sam?�
Turning around slowly, Sammul slowly made out Fiona�s worried face approaching him from the other side of the bar.
She sat down on the stool next to him and concernedly asked, �What are you doing here? And why are you drinking so much?�
Slurring his words together, Sammul broached, �I�m just celebrating that�s all. I somehow have a little sister and my best friend is dating her.�
�What are you talking about?� Fiona asked while wrestling the drink out of Sammul�s hand.
�I mean Ron and Michelle. They�re an item, didn�t you know that?� Sammul responded sharply, reaching for the glass in Fiona�s hand.
�Come on, let�s get you home,� she said softly, supporting Sammul off of the stool.
�Leave me alone!� He shouted as he pushed her away, �You don�t know how it feels to have the person you love fall in love with your best friend.�
Fiona suddenly felt anger wash through her body and an urge to slap Sammul. She didn�t understand what went over her as she screamed, �The person that I love fell in love with MY best friend? How do you think that makes me feel? You don�t see me getting drunk and yelling at people!� Leaving him with those words, Fiona quickly ran out of the bar as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Her words were like a slap to his face. Sammul closed his eyes, and for the first time, instead of Michelle�s face appearing in his mind, Fiona�s smile was the only thing he could see.

�Look alive guys, today is moving day!� Alec exclaimed excitedly as his gathered all his half-dead roommates into the living room the morning after. He had a whistle around his neck and was pacing around the living room like a high school basketball coach giving a motivational speech.
His boys, on the other hand, looked as motivated as a log. Louis leaned his head on Kevin�s limp shoulder, while Bosco yawned and stretched out his arms. All three not bothering to listen to Alec�s spiel.
Placing both hands on his hips like an impatient mother, Alec threatened, �Are you gonna get your ass up or do I have to dish up the dirt on you guys at Julian�s bachelor party to all your girlfriends?�
That line surely jolted the guys energy. All six eye balls lit up like 100 watt light bulbs.
Louis suddenly pointed out, �Hey you were there too!�
Alec smirked deviously, pulling out his baby digital camera hidden in the back pocket of his jeans.�Ya, but I brought my camera with me. Did you guys? I didn�t think so. Anything else?�
The boys went silent.
�Best thing I ever invested in,� Alec chuckled to himself as all his roommates suddenly all transformed into the energizer bunny, running left and right carrying boxes. They just needed a little bit of motivation to get them going.
___________________________________________________________
�I could use some help over here,� Bosco wailed as he hauled a huge king sized mattress off the moving truck onto the ground.
�Hey careful! Don�t get my bed dirty!� Alec demanded, quickly throwing down a box he was carrying.
Bosco groaned while he lifted the mattress off the ground and onto this shoulder, �I�m breaking my back behind this thing and you�re afraid of a little dirt?? What kind of brother are you?�
�Sorry, I just want things to be perfect in our new home,� Alec said zestfully with a big grin on his face as he helped his brother hoist the mattress off the ground.
- - -
�Vicky, Where do you want this?� Ron grunted as he and Louis carried a 50 inch plasma TV into the brand new apartment.
Vicki looked around her new home, contemplating where her brand new furniture was going to settle, �Ummm, how about over there. Actually no, better put it over...�
�I think you better make up your mind quick sis, Ron�s face looks a little red,� Michelle pointed out, looking at her boyfriend�s tortured expression.
On the other side of the room, Kevin slumped down in exhaustion onto one of the boxes after carrying loads of furniture into the apartment. Niki walked up to her fianc� and started dabbing his sweat drenched forehead with a cold cloth. The two smiled lovingly at each other like a couple of newlyweds on their honeymoon.
�You guys are so sickeningly sweet I�m getting cavities,� Louis taunted, pretending to gag as she shoved a finger down his throat.
Kevin shot him a stare of annoyance, �What? Are you jealous?�
Niki blushed and smiled coyly at Kevin. Her eyes widened while she abruptly grabbed his hand and exclaimed, �Oh my god, what happened to your hand? It�s all cut up.�
He looked down at his feet in embarrassment while rubbing the back of his neck. Hoping the other guys wouldn�t hear, Kevin whispered, �I got paper cuts from folding you 1000 paper cranes.�
�AHAHA. Folding paper cranes? That�s the cheesiest thing I�ve ever heard!� Louis held his stomach while he rolled on the ground, possessed with laughter after eavesdropping on Kevin and Niki�s conversation.
Kevin replied sarcastically, �Ha-Ha. Its almost as cheesy as taking ballroom dancing lessons with a gay guy as your partner for three weeks straight.�
Louis immediately stopped laughing and was completely mortified. He jumped up and punched his friend in arm, shouting, �Shut up, man. I told you not to tell!�
Just then, Bobby entered the apartment carrying five massive boxes of pizza, loudly announcing, �Take a break guys, pizza�s here.�
�Wow, I think you and I are gonna get along just fine, uncle Bob,� Ron sighed tiredly, wiping sweat off his forehead with one hand and grabbing a slice of the piping hot pizza with the other while he plopped down on a cardboard box labelled books.
�You pig, save some for me,� Michelle squealed, slapping her boyfriend upside the head.
�Jeez woman, there�s five boxes here!� Ron proclaimed with his mouth full of pizza.
�Knowing you, you�ll shove all five boxes down your throat in a matter of minutes. You bottomless pit,� Michelle riposted, narrowing her eyes at Ron.
�Ha! You�re calling me a bottomless pit? If I recall correctly, I remember a certain someone wolfing down two cones of triple scoop cookie dough ice cream. Am I right?� Ron taunted as he stared at Michelle�s horrified face.
�You freak! You promised you wouldn�t tell anyone!� Michelle shouted as he jumped up from her seat and started attacking Ron with throw pillows sitting on the brand new Italian leather sofa.
Kevin looked amused as he asked, �Do they ever stop bickering?�
�No,� Vicki, Niki and Bobby said in complete harmony, shaking their heads at the same time.
Bosco groaned as Alec immediately dropped the side of the mattress he was carrying with a thud as soon as he entered the apartment to see the pillow fight going on between the immature couple.
�Ahh! Don�t touch those pillows! You know how much they cost? I got them imported all the way from Milan!� Alec yelled angrily as he snatched a pillow away from Michelle.
�Touch-y,� she groused as her face contorted into a snobby scowl, �Come on Ron, I don�t think we�re appreciated here. Lets go eat on the balcony.�
�B-but...�
�I said now!� Ron gave in and lowered his head as he trotted after Michelle. Talk about whipped.
�Those two are not coming over to my place if they keep acting like that,� Alec grumbled after taking a deep breath.
�Are you saying my sister and her boyfriend cant come over to OUR house? Who made you king of the world,� Vicki snapped, glaring at Alec like she was going to swallow his swollen head.
Alec shook his head and defended, �No, I�m just saying they can�t come over if they act like that.�
�So if I start acting like them I cant live here?� Vicki questioned, her temperature rapidly rising.
�Yes, I mean NO!�
Alec�s mouth works faster than his brain.
Vicki�s lips shot wide open as she shook her head sharply and stormed out of the room.
Running after her, Alec cried in a desperate tone, �You�re the boss honey, you can act whichever way you want! You can make all the decisions.�
�Wow, all the girls sure are unreasonable,� Kevin blurted shortly after the couple left the room, but quickly corrected himself as soon as he caught Niki�s lethal glare, �all except Niki I meant to say.�
�Good save,� Bosco whispered sarcastically, giving Kevin a hard pat on the back.
�Red bean slush anyone?� Jessica declared as she kicked open the door to Vicki�s new apartment, carrying trays of refreshments. �Hey, where is everyone?� she asked as she looked around to find only half the people in the room.
Reaching for another slice of pizza, Bobby gurgled, �Just be happy you weren�t here to be a part of this madhouse.�
___________________________________________________________
�What�s this?� Michelle asked curiously as Ron held out a poorly wrapped package in front of her. It was obvious he wrapped the gift himself since pieces of tape were sticking out of the most random places.
�A belated Christmas present. I couldn�t get it till last night,� Ron said, grinning roguishly, �open it.�
Since Michelle was famous for being impatient, she tore open the gift at light speed. A cute grin appeared on her face as she picked up two tickets in her hands.
�I know it�s nothing compared to the NBA, but this is as close to a Knicks game as I could get in Hong Kong. Maybe one day you and I could go to Madison Square Garden and watch them for real, but right now, a college team is the closest I could get,� Ron explained bashfully, shoving his hands into his pockets.
�It�s the thought that counts.� Michelle smiled and threw her hands around his neck. She gently layed a sweet kiss on the tip of his nose and added, �Besides, the Knicks suck this year.�
___________________________________________________________
As Louis was bending over to lift up a couple more boxes, a sharp piercing yelped escaped his mouth as she shot upright with his hand supporting his lower back, �Ouch! My poor back!�
Jessica scurried over to help her boyfriend onto the couch as she scolded, �Your stupid back is acting up again? How many times do I have to tell you to go see the chiropractor?�
�Ow. You know I don�t have time. It�s not a big deal, I can handle it. I�m the great Captain remember?� Even while in pain, Louis still managed to boost his ego.
Jessica rolled her eyes as she tore open the box labelled medicine, pulling out a tube of arthritis creme.
�Lift up your shirt, lay down on your stomach and don�t move from that spot,� Jessica commanded as she twisted open the cap. Although she sounded angry, she was more worried about him.
Louis immediately submitted to Jessica�s command. �Yes Ma�am.�
She began spreading the creme onto his skin and massaged the medicine onto his inflamed lower back.
Kevin and Bosco made the whipped noise while Bobby tried not to chuckle.
�Hey! I heard that. You wanna start something you three?� Louis tried to get up, but quickly fell back down with a groaned.
The guys were all trying to catch their breath from laughing so hard.
�You idiot. I told you not to move. Do you wanna walk down the aisle in crutches?� Jessica berated, slapping her boyfriend on the head.
�Sor-ee.� Louis groaned as he settled back onto the couch while his girlfriend continued to rub his lower back, but with greater force this time.
___________________________________________________________
�Vicki, I�m sorry. Please forgive me?� Alec made his signature puppy dog face complete whimpering noises as he brushed his cheek against Vicki�s.
Trying to hold in her giggle, Vicki whined as she slapped him gently in the forehead, �I hate you! Stop doing that!�
�I�m sorry for blowing my top, but I wanted everything to be perfect for when your parents come over. I have to make a good impression,� Alec said, holding her hand to his chest, softly kissing it afterwards.
�Aw, you don�t have to worry, my dad is a nice guy. He wont hurt you...I think�
