00005. First words. AnnouncementI will be putting hyperlinks in each chapter, so people reading can understand what I am talking about. It might be for a person, place, thing or just random info about it. Do keep in mind that when I link things it might not be exactly what or who I am talking about in the story because this is my own version of the world. It is more there for people who have never read or watched anything to do with Marvel Comics or Naruto. I hope you enjoy the story, please let me know what you think about it.
I was “playing” with my blocks and watched as Peter crawled over to his parents and said, “Mom, UP!”
Everyone smiled at that as his mom picked him up into her lap to hold him. I figured I might as well do something cute too, so I set down my blocks and walked over to my parents. Everyone looked down at me as I glanced at my mom first before looking at my dad.
He was looking down at me and I put my arms up to him as I slowly started to stutter out, “kw...”
His face at first went into shock then joy as he looked down at me and said, “Come on, you can do it Theo. Say daddy! Da-D.”
He glanced at my mother and I could see a smug smile flash on his face as he did that. She didn’t respond to him but instead said to me. “Say mommy, mom-e. You can do it sweetie.”
I looked over at her for a moment, but then looked back to my father and spoke out again, “Kwi..”
May said, “It doesn’t sound like he is trying to say mommy or daddy. He is trying to say something else. Kwi something? I wonder what that is?”
Ben looked over at my parents and asked, “Do you know what he might be trying to say?”
My dad shaked his head no in reply, but my mom just stared at me silently. I looked at her and smiled a little as I said, “Kwik!”
“Quick? His first word is quick?” Richard asked.
Everyone else looked confused at this, but my fathers face was turning into a frown. As my mother began to smile. I went in for it again and said “Quickshooo!”
May asked this time, “Quick shoe? What does that even mean?”
At this point my father had a look of horror on his face and my mother was doing the best impression of the Cheshire cat I had ever seen. I went in for the kill at this point and said, “Quickshot!”
My fathers face crumpled at this and my mother, May and Mary started laughing like crazy. A second later my father slowly looked at my mother and said in a defeated voice, “This is all your fault.”
She couldn’t reply because she was too busy laughing. Richard and Ben looked a little out of the joke at first but they caught on and started laughing also. Even Peter started laughing, but I know he had no idea what was going on. I figured I should do my dad a solid since I just threw him under the bus as it were. I looked at him and said, “Daddy!”
At that point everyone actually settled their laughter down, the others looked happy. My mom looked a little shocked and my dad was actually smiling now. But that stopped as soon as I said, “Quickshot daddy!”
“It will be fine honey, I have a plan. Look at it.” He pointed at the car and said, “The car needs a lot of work and a lot of parts. My plan is to restore it with Theo helping me the whole way. It will help him build appreciation for the car and responsibility at the same time. I also plan to pay him for his time, so when he is 16 he can pay us for his car insurance and gas for the vehicle. He will also have to work a set amount of hours here each week and keep passing grades if he wants to keep using the car. Not including that he will also have to help around the house.”
My mom is quiet for a few minutes, afterwards she lets out a sigh. “It looks like you actually did plan this out. I still don’t like the thought of little Theo having a muscle car when he is 16.”
My father laughed as he walked up to my mother and embraced her in a hug. After he released her, he reached into my stroller and picked me up. Walking closer to the car he pointed at it and said, “You might not understand right now, but one day this will be yours and you will be the envy of all the boys in your high school.”
My mother asked, “What's under the other tarp?”
My father turned around with an even bigger grin on his face and said, “The car that Ben picked out for Peter. He will be under the same restrictions that Theo has to use it”
Well it looks like me and Peter are gonna be pretty popular in high school if we both have cars.
“Ben is doing the same thing for Peter? Did he ask Richard about it?”
“Ya we all talked about it, Richard loved the idea. He was also happy it would give Peter a reason to spend time with his uncle. Ben and I also planned to work on the cars at the same time. That way Peter and Theo can hang out together as well.”
“What car did Ben pick out for Peter?”
“ .”
“You and Ben I understand, you are both stupid gear heads. But Richard also? The whole lot of you are idiots! You plan to give two 16 year old boys muscle cars?!?!” My mother’s hands go up in the air as she talks.
“You realize they will probably race each other in those things!” The smile on my fathers face is all she needs to know. She shakes her head in frustration before asking, “Why did I marry an idiot?!?”
My father laughs and says, “Because you love my cooking and charming personality.”
My mother stares at my father for a few moments before she says, “You are still an idiot, a lovable idiot. Kinda like a puppy.”
Laughing again my father pulls my mother into a hug while still holding me and I hear her ask, “Has anyone even talked to Mary or May about this?”
My father pulled back and looked slightly guilty as he said, “We were all kinda hoping you would talk to them for us...”
AnnouncementAdding in links for the cars since someone said it would be nice if I did that. I hope you are enjoying the story. If you are, let me know. Last chapter for the night I will add more later.
