(KO's POV)

I set up the table for the dinner.

Me: TKO, can you at least help me with one thing?
TKO: Nah, I'm good.
Me: TKO!
TKO: What?
Me: Please help! You were the one who suggested it in the first place!
TKO: Ugh, fine.

We then finished setting up the table. I was proud of what we accomplished.

Me: We did an amazing, don't ya think?
TKO: Meh.
Me: Well, we got 3 more hours till he shows up.
TKO: Ok, that's 3 more hours to find a place to hide!
Me: TKO.......
TKO: What? I don't like him!
Me: Let's try to bury the hatchet.
TKO: No. After everything, I can't believe you trust him!
Me: It's water under the bridge.
TKO: Are you sure?
Me: He seems like he means it.......
TKO: Ugh. Ok, but I'm bringing my phone.
Me: Fine.

We waited for him to show up. Me and TKO played some game called "Soundtrack Attack" (Yes, another SU game reference). It was fun, although TKO kept getting mad about not hitting the button on time.

TKO: WHY IS THIS SO EASY FOR YOU BUT NOT ME!?!?
Me: TKO, just give it some patience. Learn the melody.
TKO: Ugh, but that's too much work.
Me: I know someone who's a pro.
TKO: Who?
Me: I don't know their real name, but they're really good. (I'm really good at the game)
TKO: How good?
Me: Mostly 3 stars on the levels!
TKO: Wow, That good?
Me: Yep!
TKO: Maybe I could have their advice on it.
Me: Maybe....

*ding dong*

Me: I'll get it!

I went to the door and Lazerblast was there. He looked fancy.

Me: Hi. Ummm, mommy's inside. She brought Mr. Gar. TKO is playing videos games. I'll go tell them you're here.
Lazerblast: Thanks KO.

I went inside. Mr. Gar and mommy were already at the table. TKO wore a purple jacket with his hood up. I was wearing a blue t-shirt with a with long sleeved shirt underneath, lavender leg warmers, and black pants.

Me: Ok, Lazerblast's here.
Gar: Oh boy.
Carol: It won't be too bad, just awkward.
TKO: Uhhhhhhh.
Me: At least try to be supportive.
TKO: Fine.

We sat at the table. We all just stared awkwardly. I decided to break the silence.

Me: So, um, how was everyone's day?
Gar: It went ok. Regular bodega stuff.
Carol: It was good, thanks for asking.
TKO: Terrible, as usual.
Lazerblast: It was fine.
Me: Ok, mine was good. Me and TKO were playing a new game. It was fun.
Carol: So, Lazerblast. Why didn't you show up earlier.
Lazerblast: I didn't know how to.
Gar: I'm sorry for what happened back then.
Lazerblast: It wasn't your fault. I'm actually glad you stopped Carol. You both could've died. I just hope guilt wasn't weighing you down.
Gar: It was, but it was lifted when Carol told me it wasn't my fault, but it was still there.
Lazerblast: Well, I'm glad the two of you are ok. Are any of you working for P.O.I.N.T. ?
Carol: No, I quit.
Gar: They kicked me out.
Lazerblast: Sorry to hear that.
Gar: It's fine.
Me: So, is everything ok?
Carol: Yes, but where'd TKO go?
Lazerblast: I'll go find him.

(TKO's POV)

I was in the closet. I didn't want to see him. Sure, everything was cool with everyone else, but I still don't trust him. After everything.

Lazerblast: Hey.

Oh, he found me.

Me: What do you want?
Lazerblast: To talk.
Me: About what!?
Lazerblast: I know you still don't trust me, but please know, I want to fix all of this. I know I was never there for you or KO and I've done some really bad things, but I want to fix it all.
Me: I-I-I just..

I then hugged him.

Lazerblast: I'm sorry for ever hurting you.
Me: I-I forgive you.

Tears were running down my face. I couldn't stop. I really needed support from my, well now, stepdad. We walked out and had our dinner. It was nice. KO was looking at me weird. Carol and Gar told Lazerblast about what happened after he disappeared. I was just happy to be with my family.
