I really enjoyed seeing uncle Rory yesterday. I haven't seen him in a while and Tommy seemed to like him. I couldn't help but beat myself up later though. He seemed really upset when we got back. He usually loves cooking and eating with us so something must have been up to put me through the pain of eating what Jennifer called food.

So for the whole day I spent my time sneaking my phone in my lectures and texting him trying to make him happy again. He didn't seem upset this morning. Kind of determined but I still needed reassurance.

''Mr Matthews? Would you like to share what is so funny with the rest of us?'' I stopped laughing and turned to face the grey old man giving todays lecture.

''No sir. Sorry.'' I slipped my phone in my pocket and mentally slapped myself.

I could tell Tommy's mood was a lot better but I just had to keep going on and on but when he told me about his story he wrote in his English class for creative writing it just got to me. Who the heck writes about pants in a cave?!

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket again. I really wanted to find out how the story finished which was really ridiculous because it was a weird story that had nothing to do with anything but Tommy being his dorky self.

I fell into temptation and reached in my pocket reading whatever stupidity he had come up with next.

Tommy; Arthur spent his days searching and searching for Excalibur Pants. To just let his hand brush against the beautiful cow printed fabric would be his undoing. His greatest achievement in life. No man has ever had the honour to be in possession of such apparel.

Arthur wandered aimlessly through The Jungle of Pickanose until he came across a cave guarded by rabid squirrel monkeys. He fought for his life through the hoard of frothing marsupial primates until the last one vanished into a bubble pile of cheese.

Arthur slowly made his way into the depth of the mysterious cave until he caught the glimpse of a light. The light was so bright he was blinded until his eyes adjusted and there, set in stone was...EXCALIBUR PANTS!

My class ended with me getting kicked out for laughing and now I was pulling into Tommy's driveway behind the terrible two before my phone buzzed again.

Tommy; What do you think of the names Logan, Delilah and Skylar?

I decided not to answer and slip my phone back into my pocket calling out their names as I walked up behind them -mainly Jen- squealing at the door.

''What're you two squealing about?''

Tommy looked like he was about ready to fall to the ground and cry rape and Jen slapped my upside the head and yelled.

''Holyshit Chace you scared the absolute shist out of us!!''

''Oww... Next time I'll remember that while you two are squealing and don't hear me calling you from the end of the driveway.''

''Don't you have classes?'' Tommy chided before dropping his keys to the ground and cursing under his breath.

''Hm no I don't have classes past two on a Tuesday.'' I smiled as he bent down to grab his keys.

Jen almost scared me to death coughing loud enough to kill someone before glaring daggers at Tommy enough for something to visibly click inside him.

His expressions suddenly turned evil as I saw my little sister on her bike down the end of the street.

What was she doing around here? My little Jayde was too young to be out by herself. Why wasn't she at school? What the hell was my father doing to let her out like that!?

Luckily I caught a quick view of Lily with her and sighed with relief. She was always amazing with Jayde. I really loved her and planned on living with her someday.

''Stupid Jen.'' I heard Tommy grumble and I turned back to look at him as he walked through the door.

'' Chace you stupid idiot what the hell do you think you're doing?!'' Was all I heard before I got slapped over and over again by a raging Jen.

''What the hell did I do wrong?!'' I softly yelled back only to receive more hits.

'' You should of looked you stupid meat head!''

''Well I'm sorry I just saw Lilly and--''

''Not that hoebag again! Ugh! You deserve another hit for that!'' She wacked me again before we turned to see Tommy looking at us and we both instantly smiled at him forgetting everything.

Tommy looked confused but shrugged and walked through to the kitchen, Jen and me obediently following.

''Anyone want some grub? I'm starving!'' He yelled, throwing his bag on the bench.

'' Yes please~!'' We both sang as we took our seats at the bench staring hungrily at whatever would magically appear from Tommy's amazing hands.

''You both realise cooking takes time right? It'll be about ten-fifteen minutes.''

''It's fine.'' I answered and smiled softly.

''Bitch you better hurry with my food! Mumma don't like to wait!'' Jen snapped a 'z' and bobbed her head.

After complaining about how yummy it smelled and how we couldn't wait for it Tommy kicked us out of the kitchen and we were currently watching the third season of True Blood on the couch when the phone rang.

''Jen can you get that?''

Jen ran over the phone before he could even finish the sentence and smiled at the caller ID.

''Tommy it's your mum!''

Before I could even blink Tommy was next to her almost jumping out of his skin with excitement. I swear I got whiplash from it.

''Slow down Speedy Gonzales! She's not going anywhere.'' Jen giggled and yelled a goodbye to Tommy's mum.

''I'll keep an eye on the food.'' I nodded to the kitchen and walked towards the delicious smell.

I had met Mrs Verlane before. Our mums are actually quite close that's how I knew Tommy. Obviously he is younger than me and my boss's befriend so I never really got a chance to befriend him I guess. Doesn't mean I didn't know of him.

''--She said two dollah sucky sucky'' I coughed loudly choking on air as I caught the last of Tommy's sentence and heard Jen dying of laughter and a loud bang signally her falling from the couch.

''She-She what? Good one MummaVerlane! Good one! You okay Chace?''

''Yeah. Just listened in at the wrong time.'' I coughed again and started stirring the deliciousness that would be my dinner.

'' --I'll have him on his knees and begging for me!'' I broke into another coughing fit and tried to piece together what the hell kind of a conversation Tommy could be having with his mum.

I could hear Jen crying with hysterical laughter and her coughing out words I didn't have the patience to piece together.

--

Dinner was usual. Well as usual as it can get from two days. Tommy's turmoil of emotions, Jen Teasing and me just taking in everything and trying not to lose my food to the ever hungry Jennifer Kartel.

'' Baby put on a movie.'' Jen yawned and started wiggling her feet all over poor Tommy's lap.

''What do you wanna watch?''

''How about we let Chace pick tonight? I'm so pooped I can't even think straight.'' She started furiously wiggling her brows at Tommy which kinda worried me.

I think I'm missing something here? Probably some random inside joke or knowing Jen she was just trying to get a reaction out of someone.

Women.

''I'm fine with anything.'' I said, following the stupid contagious act of yawning and laid down on the couch resting my head on the arm rest.

''How about Red Dog?'' Tommy jumped up and started to get almost frantic looking for something.

''What's that about?'' Jen and I asked together.

''Ponies. It's about ponies in Neverland.'' He rolled his eyes and plugged a USB into the side of the flat screen TV which was sitting on top of the wooden entertainment unit with glass cupboards.

''Great. I always liked ponies!'' Jen clapped her hands and jumped up and down on the couch not really getting the idea that receiving sarcasm should make you just as annoyed as the person giving the sarcasm.

''I thought you were tired?''

''No one is ever too tired at the mention of ponies!''

''Whatever.'' Tommy fell onto the couch and covered his mouth as he yawned and searched the USB for the movie.

Towards the end of the movie I could hear sniffling. At first I thought someone was getting sick but then I turned to see Tommy trying to use his grey hoody sleave to muffle his sobs.

I looked back up to the screen and realised Red Dog had died on top of John's grave. I had to admit it was a little sad but not something I'd really cry over. I guess Tommy was a big dog person. I think I remember hearing some sniffling earlier when Peeto was asking everyone ''Have you seen John?''

Awww poor Tommy. I had to admit he did look cute when he was crying. His eyes all watery and shining when the lighting on the TV changed. Him nibbling on his jacket sleave and all curled up in a sitting position. I think I really--

''Aww poor baby are you crying?'' Jen cooed and cuddled Tommy thankfully breaking me out of my thoughts.

''No!'' His voice broke.

''It's okay you know? He's with all his friends and John now.'' Jen was patting his head while he was still trying to stop crying until he pushed her away pushing his bottom lip out into a pout.

''Stop babying me.''

''Then stop being a baby.''

''Wha-Who-What!? I'm not a baby!''

I tried not to laugh as Tommy growled and tackled Jen off the couch. They were fighting like little kids throwing small harmless punches and kicks and tickles.

''Okay Kiddies it's time for bed.'' I pulled them apart laughing before Tommy could rip out Jen's hair.

''Party pooper.'' Tommy groaned as I threw him over my left shoulder and then Jen on the other one like big potato sacks.

Suddenly I felt Tommy's small hand slap my butt pretty hard and Jen snicker into my shoulder.

''I'm not a horse I won't go faster.'' I moved Tommy into a better position on my shoulder which just happened to have my hand placed pretty high on his thigh.

''Go Shrek Go!'' Jen screamed as my eyes widened at the moan I heard in my left ear.

All I did was move my hand a little and he...moaned? It kind of felt good to know. Not in the evil kind of way... I guess a little in that way but it was good to know something so personal I guess. He's a moaner.

''Ugh'' Jen groaned as I threw her into the bed she was staying in before I walked to Tommy's room and did the same with him.

''Humph. Where's my snake balloon?'' Tommy pouted.

''What?'' I looked at him funnily.

Is he on something? Did he have a balloon in here earlier? did I accidently pop it? Oh god. Knowing Tommy He'll bring Boris into my 'punishment' somehow.

''Shrek got Fiona a snake balloon right? I think I deserve one after you threw me over your shoulder like a big ol' hulk.''

Ohhhhh. That makes sense I guess.

''So you're saying you're a big green girl who falls in love with me but almost marries a midget man with a hairy chest, a bob cut and a name that sounds like fuck wad?'' I raised a brow at him before taking my shirt off and walking over to put it in my duffle bag.

''Considering how Fiona and Shrek end up I wouldn't mind it.'' I heard him whisper and sigh into his blankets.

''Huh?'' I called from my bag trying to work out if I really heard that correctly or not.

'' I said make me the balloon and I'll consider it.'' He stuck his tongue out and grinned.

''Yeah sure whatever. I'll get right on it...as soon as you kiss a frog and turn that into a balloon for me, Fiona.'' I chuckled and climbed into bed next to him.

''I actually think it was the other way around but I don't like frogs so you can still have the frog one.'' He turned the lamp off and I laughed softly before his breathing evened out indicating he had fallen asleep.

Wow did he always fall asleep so fast? I'm genuinely curios about that. I think I'll ask Jen.

I slowly snaked my arm around his waist and pulled his back against my chest not wanting to wake him. His mango and banana shampoo wafted into my nose and I smiled into his neck and fell asleep to the feel of his soft skin under my fingers from his shirt coming up a little on his stomach.

Gotta Love Tuesdays.

A/N

In celebration of Having 50,000 reads on one of my books I decided it was time to work my butt off on getting back into writing. As my last Authors Note said I may put all my stories on hold. It was never a final decision I said I was thinking about it but all your amazingness has made me come out of my depression. I just thought I was letting all of you guys down with crappy writing going the way I was. I now understand that a lot of you really enjoy it. I'll continue working hard to please you guys!!

Love you beautifully awesome ponycorns
