The Morales family was created by me.
", "writing": "[center][b]UNEXPECTTRACTION\n\nChapter 9\n\nA new beginning.\n\nWritten by James Rex[/b]\n[/center]\n\nFinally dinner was served and everyone sat down to eat, while they ate everyone laughed at the anecdotes that were told, even the children told their anecdotes, time passed, it was already 10:00 at night, the two families agreed to have a barbecue tomorrow afternoon.\n\nBefore leaving, Gonzalo asked Tay to go with him to take his things out of the truck, after taking down Tay's bicycle and backpack, Gonzalo lifted the tarp a little more and took out a beautiful guitar case.\n\nGonzalo: I was going to give it to you as a surprise after you dedicated your first song to us on your own.\n\nGonzalo: But it's better if I give it to you now.\n\nTay: It's really mine (his eyes sparkled when he saw it).\n\nGonzalo: Yes champ, you have talent and you learn fast, I would like you to keep practicing so that someday you can dedicate us a song with this guitar.\n\nTay hugs Gonzalo thanking him, then they both went back to the house with the stuff, Tay ran upstairs to his room carrying the guitar and his backpack, when he entered his room he left his stuff on the bed, then he ran back downstairs.\n\nWhen everyone said goodbye, Carmen, David and Gonzalo went to the pickup, but Katherine stayed in front of the entrance.\n\nCarmen: We're leaving now sweetheart.\n\nKatherine: I'll be there in a minute mom.\n\nTay walks up to her.\n\nTay: Well then, I'll see you tomorrow.\n\nKatherine: Yeah, I want it to be morning soon.\n\nKatherine: (she starts playing with her hair) Taylor, there is something I wanted to tell you a few days ago.\n\nTay: What is it?\n\nKatherine: Well I ...... (she looks him in the eyes and blushes)\n\nKatherine: (she lowers her gaze and fiddles with her hands) It's hard to explain, I .....\n\nKatherine lifts her gaze and sees Tay's face and without giving him time to respond she hugs him and they give him a kiss on the lips, Tay was frozen in surprise but a few seconds later he responded by hugging her and completing the kiss, he felt as if the world started to spin around him, his mind was spinning and he felt butterflies in his stomach, it was a very nice feeling.\n\nAfter a few minutes they broke apart and looked at each other for a few seconds.\n\nKatherine: I like you Tay, I like you a lot.\n\nTay: I like you too Katherine (he caresses her face softly).\n\nThey hug each other again.\n\nCarmen, Gonzalo, Brenda and Jason looked very happy at the beautiful couple.\n\nCarmen looked at her husband with tenderness, he smiles and kisses her.\n\nBrenda sighed with relief, all her worries vanished into thin air and Jason felt proud of his son.\n\nDavid, a little confused, wagged his tail with joy and hugged his mother, Izzi on the other hand felt happy to see her brother being happy, but at the same time felt a little jealous but tried not to make a big deal out of it.\n\nThen the Morales family got into their truck and left, the McIntosh's stayed watching them until the truck disappeared down the next street, the family went into the house and got ready for bed, peace and tranquility reigned again in the McIntosh's house. Brenda and Jason went to say goodnight to their children and then happily went to their bedroom.\n\nTay: Have a good rest sis (He shows a big smile).\n\nIzzi: Sweet dreams brother.\n\nThey both went into their respective rooms. Tay turned on the light in his room and noticed that everything was the same as he left it the day he left, the bed a little distended, the closet open, the books in the writing, it was as if time had stopped inside his room, Tay looked for his sleeping clothes and put them on then he looked at his bed, there was his backpack and the guitar case that Gonzalo gave him, he opened the case and saw a beautiful custom guitar chosen with taste, the front side is black, the sides and handle are dark brown and the edges are golden with small details and the varnish shined in a fine finish, Tay was very fascinated, it was a very beautiful guitar, he held back the desire to touch the strings because he felt very shy that his parents or Izzi would hear him, he looked at all the details of his guitar until he found a hole and looking at it with more curiosity he also found a plate with buttons (IT IS AN ELECTROACUSTIC GUITAR). Tay didn't know what that for his guitar so he decided not to touch any of it for fear of damaging it, then he carefully put it back in its case and put it in a corner of his closet, he left it well hidden so no one would see it unless they took all the clothes out of the closet.\n\nTay lay down on his bed after putting the backpack on his desk chair, it was so nice to be in his own bed, it is so comfortable, he snuggled in and as he was already used to the new schedule of his other family he started to feel very sleepy at that moment, he looked at his watch, it was already 11:00 at night, as he started to enter the world of dreams the door of his room opened and a voice was heard.\n\nIzzi: Tay, can I sleep with you?\n\nTay: (he gets up and yawns) Yes, come on.\n\nIzzi smiled, closed the door and climbed into bed, she cuddled up behind her brother and put her glasses on the table, Tay snuggled back in and pressed his back against Izzi's back.\n\nTay: Good night Iz.\n\nIzzi: Good night Tay.\n\nThey both fell asleep in no time, the night passed and the sun started to rise, Tay woke up early as was his new habit, he stretched and looked out the window, it looked like it was going to be a great sunny day, then she looked at his sister, Izzi was sleeping peacefully next to him, Tay touched her nose gently causing her to readjust but she didn't wake up, Tay just smiled at being able to be together with his sister again and to be with his family again.\n\nAfter stretching and yawning again he got off his bed and went to the bathroom, upon returning he noticed that his parents were still not up it was obvious since they always slept late on the weekends, he went into his room and sat down in the chair in front of the desk, he then started rummaging through his backpack pulling out his clothes and putting them back in place, he then pulled out his cell phone and tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on, the battery had been dead for over six days so he looked for his charger and plugged it into the outlet. While he was making sure he didn't have anything else in his backpack he remembered the toy soldier that David had given him, he looked for it in the pockets of his backpack and found it, he looked at the toy soldier for a while remembering that David always took him almost everywhere and played with him, after a few minutes Tay moved the soldier's arms and legs putting him in a firm pose, saluting with one hand and holding his rifle in the other, then he put it on a shelf that he had on top of his desk.\n\nTay picked up his cell phone and this time he turned it on, after a moment it started to vibrate and ring because of all the messages and missed calls he had, most of them were from his mom, his dad and Izzi, the rest were from almost everyone he knew, some from Becky, Jules, Scooter and there were even some calls and messages from a number he didn?t have registered, Tay was curious to know who they were from and he read those messages.\n\n???: Hi Tay, I don't know if you remember me but I'm in the same class as you, I'm Corey.\n\nCorey: On Tuesday I saw Izzi very sad at school and I got up the courage to ask her what was wrong and she told me that you ran away from home.\n\nCorey: I don't care why you left I just beg you to come back, I can't stand seeing Izzi sad and it breaks my heart to see her like that, I have tried to cheer her up and comfort her but this Thursday she didn't come back to school and I am very worried about her.\n\nCorey: Please come back, do it for her, for your family, they are very worried about you and they are looking for you everywhere.\n\nTay was surprised that the fox boy who has always been shy was worried about him, even though it was more for his sister.\n\nTay: \"How did he get my number?\"\n\nTay: \"I?m sure Scooter gave it to him.\"\n\nTay: \"Never mind, better yet, it's a good opportunity to befriend him.\"\n\nTay registers Corey's number and answers his message.\n\nTay: Don't worry bro, I'm back, my sister is fine and I thank you so much for taking care of her while I was gone and trying to make her feel better.\n\nTay: I would like to get to know you better one of these days.\n\nAfter sending the message Tay left his cell phone and laid down on the table looking out the window, a few minutes later his mom came into the room.\n\nBrenda: Taylor have you seen Isabelle? she is not in her room.\n\nTay: Yes mom, Izzi is here (He points to her bed).\n\nBrenda looked at her daughter sleeping very peacefully, after six days it was the first time she saw her sound asleep, since Tay ran away Izzi could not sleep and had many nightmares.\n\nBrenda smiled, approached her and tucked her in.\n\nBrenda: Why are you awake so early love?\n\nTay: I'm used to it mom.\n\nBrenda: Ok, I'll go make breakfast, do you want to join me?\n\nTay: Yes mom.\n\nTay got up and walked with his mother to the kitchen, Brenda listened attentively to the things Tay told her while she was cooking, Tay told her that now he could speak Spanish, he also told her about the beautiful paintings and sculptures that Carmen made, that he could now disassemble some things about cars even though he didn't like mechanics and that the Morales' little son considered him his older brother. Brenda smiled warmly at her son, she was very proud of him, Tay felt very shy to say that he liked to play the guitar so he better not tell her that part and they both had a nice mother and son moment.\n\nIzzi woke up after having a very nice dream and looked around remembering that last night she came to Tay's room because she couldn't sleep, she looked next to her but there was no one there, she felt a little pressure in her heart.\n\nIzzi: \"Was everything that happened just a dream?\"\n\nIzzi curled up again starting to feel sadness but at that moment she could feel the warmth of her brother who was still preserved in the place where he slept, Izzi sighed relieved and smiled.\n\nIzzi: \"It wasn't a dream, he's here, he's back home.\"\n\nShe lay there enjoying the warmth and fell asleep again.\n\nBrenda finally finished preparing breakfast and asked Tay to go wake up his dad and sister, Tay smiled and went upstairs, first she went to wake up Izzi.\n\nTay approaches his sister walking slowly and giving her a gentle bump on the nose woke her up.\n\nTay: Wake up sleeping beauty, or do you want mommy to send you an invitation?\n\nIzzi sees Tay in front of her with a big smile and she smiles too.\n\nIzzi: I'm happy you are here and it's not another fake dream.\n\nTay: It makes me happy to be home together with you too.\n\nTay: Come on, get up and let's go wake up daddy.\n\nIzzi stretches while yawning and putting on her glasses she gets out of bed and runs after her brother to her parents' room.\n\nThey both peeked their heads out the door and saw a big lump under the covers that was rising and falling with every snore, both twins looked at each other and stifled a giggle, they walked together until they were close to the bed after counting to three they both jumped on their daddy.\n\nTay, Izzi: Daddy get up now.\n\nJason: Mmmnnnnn .....\n\nIzzi: Come on, it's getting late.\n\nJason: Mmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn ....\n\nTay: If you don't wake up I will use my special attack.\n\nJason: Mmnnn? (He snores).\n\nTay: Well, you asked for it.\n\nTay started tickling his daddy and Izzi played along, Jason tried to restrain himself but he couldn't anymore and started laughing along with his kids.\n\nJason: NOW YOU WILL SEE BRATS.\n\nJason laid Tay on the bed and started to tickle him, Tay laughed very happy, Izzi hugged his dad from behind and tried to separate him from Tay.\n\nIzzi: NO, LEAVE HIM.\n\nJason: (laughs) I ALSO HAVE FOR YOU.\n\nJason grabs Izzi and laid her down next to Tay and tickles them both, Jason was happy to play with his kids, they were the most important thing in his life.\n\nAfter much laughter the three of them went to the kitchen and had breakfast together while Tay told his dad and sister what he had already told his mom.\n\nJason: That's great, I might need someone to help me with the car if it breaks down.\n\nTay: I don't like mechanics dad.\n\nJason: (he smiles) It's ok son, you can choose what you like to do when you grow up, me and your mom will support you in everything.\n\nJason: And you too princess (smiles warmly at Izzi).\n\nJason: No doubt the Morales are a great family and we are lucky to be friends with them.\n\nBrenda: You are right love, by the way, we have to go buy what we are going to need for the barbecue.\n\nWhile her parents were talking and Tay was eating his pancakes, Izzi thought about what Tay told them, it was incredible to know that Tay was able to learn another language, some mechanics and art in only 6 days, days that seemed like an eternity to her, she also thought about the moment when Tay mentioned Gonzalo, he seemed to blush for a moment before saying that he had taken him to the workshop where he worked, it was strange, it was as if he was hiding something, but what is it?\n\nBrenda: Little David is a sweetheart, he is very respectful and quiet unlike his sister who is a little more unruly but also very respectful.\n\nBrenda: It makes me very happy when I hear him call you big brother, Taylor, they both look cute when they play together.\n\nBrenda: And you treat him like he's your little brother too, that's very sweet of you love.\n\nTay blushes when he hears his mom.\n\nJason: You would make a good brother and Izzi sure would too.\n\nJason: So maybe we can give them a little brother that is our own blood or maybe two, who knows.\n\nBrenda: JASON!\n\nBrenda blushes at the look of mischief on her husband's face and starts drinking her juice.\n\nTay laughs at the sight of them but noticed his sister was lost in thought.\n\nTay: Izzi if you keep thinking more smoke will come out of your head (he starts laughing).\n\nIzzi also laughs and leaving her thoughts aside she started to eat, when they finished, Brenda and Jason went up to their room to change clothes, Izzi stayed washing the dishes and Tay stayed helping her, after a few minutes they finished washing.\n\nBrenda and Jason went downstairs, then Brenda called the twins who were still in the kitchen, they both left the kitchen and went to the main entrance hallway where their parents were.\n\nBrenda: We are leaving now my loves.\n\nBrenda: Behave yourselves and please don't do bad things anymore (her look reflected sadness).\n\nTay noticed that look and approached her mom who was crouched down in front of them.\n\nTay: No we won't, I promise you that from now on I will never do anything to hurt you again mom.\n\nTay gives her mom a kiss on the cheek and then hugs her, Brenda's eyes got a little wet and breaking her embrace she kissed her two puppies on the forehead.\n\nJason: We won't be long, we'll be back before noon if we find everything we need.\n\nIzzi, Tay: We will be waiting for you.\n\nThe two older dingos got out and got into their car, as their parents drove past the house with the car the twins waved goodbye waving their paws, then the car disappeared down the other street.\n\nIzzi and Tay entered the house and closed the door.\n\nIzzi: So what do we do now?\n\nTay: (scratches his head) Mmnn I don?t know, how about you help me catch up on my homework.\n\nIzzi: If you want (She looked bored).\n\nTay: Or how about we watch a movie on TV or play a video game.\n\nIzzi: (she smiles) Ok and what do you want to watch or play?\n\nTay: Let's try to unlock a new racetrack in \"speed racing\".\n\nIzzi: Great, let's do that then.\n\nThey both went to the living room and turned on the TV and PS2. When they were waiting for the game to load someone knocked on the door.\n\nTay: I'll go see who it is.\n\nTay got up and ran to the hallway but before going to the front door he heard the knocking coming from the back door, Tay smiled because he knew who it was and walked to the door without saying anything.\n\nTay opened the door a little and sharpened her voice a little so that it sounded like her sister's voice.\n\nTay: What happened Becky? (He was trying to contain his laughter).\n\nBecky: I saw your parents' car drive by just now and came to accompany you.\n\nBecky: You are so depressed about your brother or boyfriend, so I don't want you to be alone.\n\nTay: (in his thoughts) \"You really told her Izzi\".\n\nTay: I just want to be alone (he still struggling not to laugh).\n\nBecky: Come on Izzi I'm your friend and I'm not going to leave you, besides I want to tell you something that happened last night.\n\nTay: What happened? \n\nHe was a little curious.\n\nBecky: Last night I saw a blue pickup passing in front of my house, and when I saw it I felt happiness, it was very strange, it was as if something in that truck provoked it and when I was sleeping I dreamt that Tay came back and came in that truck with other people.\n\nTay: I knew it, you have psychic powers because you're not from this planet (he said no longer able to contain her laughter).\n\nBecky: TAYLOR!\n\nBecky: Is that you? \n\nBecky: But how? \n\nBecky: When? \n\nBecky: From where?\n\nTay: It's me, I was playing a joke on you but don't get mad, I could not avoid it.\n\nBecky opened the door wide and it was true, her ears weren't lying, it was him, he was there in front of her and he looked better than ever.\n\nTay got a little nervous when he saw the raccoon staring at him.\n\nTay: \"It was very silly to play that joke on her\".\n\nTay: \"I think I'd better apologize.\"\n\nHe looks at the raccoon and scratches his head.\n\nTay: Becky I'm really sorry, you were worried about me too and you don't know how sorry I am to hear that.\n\nBecky hugged Tay surprising him and started to cry with joy.\n\nBecky: You are a fool, I thought I would never see you again and listen to your nonsense.\n\nBecky: You are my best friend, almost a brother to me and I was so worried about you.\n\nTay hugged Becky and started caressing her back, he also let out some tears.\n\nTay: You are my best friend too and I am so sorry for making you feel sad.\n\nBecky: You don't know how happy I am, the others should know too, I have to tell them that you are back and you are okay.\n\nBecky took out her cell phone and started texting her friends giving them the good news, then they both went into the house, the three of them chatted and played until one by one some friends started to arrive, first was Scooter and then Jules, they also cried and hugged Tay when they saw him again, the five kids spent the whole morning chatting about the things that happened when Tay was gone and they listened to Tay when he told them about the people he met and what he learned from them.\n\nScooter: I still can't believe you can speak another language.\n\nTay: Yes I can, not that well, but I understand it and I can say a lot of things.\n\nScooter: I don't know, one time I tried to speak Japanese and I couldn't.\n\nTay: Pues si sigues diciendo que no me crees te voy a patear el culo chingadamadre/Well if you keep saying you don't believe me I'm going to kick your ass.\n\nScooter: Ok, Ok I believe you, I'm surprised, what did you say to me?\n\nTay: (laughs) Nothing, I just said I was telling you the truth.\n\nScooter: Oh come on it wasn't that.\n\nTay: (still laughing) It was nothing just forget it.\n\nAfter a while the three girls went to the store to buy some snacks, Tay and Scooter stayed in the house playing on the PS2.\n\nTay: Hey, I wanted to ask you something.\n\nScooter: What is it?\n\nTay paused the game.\n\nTay: This morning I checked my cell phone and saw some messages from Corey.\n\nScooter: Really? he almost got down on his knees at school when he asked for your number so I gave it to him.\n\nTay: It's okay, what I wanted to ask you was if he was really with Izzi all this time.\n\nScooter: Sure, he was very sad to see Izzi so depressed.\n\nScooter: Corey cheered her up, helped her in class and even came to your house twice to keep her company when your parents were out putting up posters and looking for you.\n\nScooter: He didn't want to see her sad and would try to make her smile by showing his drawings or being cute with her.\n\nScooter: Izzi would respond to his details, thank him and tell him that he is a great friend and that she loved him very much.\n\nTay: Well that's a breakthrough, that means he has a chance to win my sister's heart.\n\nScooter: Do you really want her to fall in love with him?\n\nTay: I just want to help her take the next step.\n\nTay: The rest is up to them, it's something that even I can't control.\n\nScooter: Why do you want your sister to fall in love with him?\n\nTay: Don't pretend anymore, I'm sure Jules or Becky told you what happened.\n\nScooter: Yes you're right, it's very strange for me that two siblings would fall in love like that.\n\nTay: Well, that's all behind us now.\n\nScooter: I get it, you want your sister to fall in love with Corey so she forgets about you.\n\nTay: Sort of, the thing is, I fell in love with ....\n\nTay: (he blushes) another girl.\n\nScooter: Really? (He said surprised).\n\nTay: Yes, and I don't want Izzi to be alone forever, our separation affected her a lot.\n\nTay: I don't want her to think that she will never be able to fall in love with someone else.\n\nTay: That's why I want to help her realize that there is someone who will take care of her and protect her like she thought it would be with me.\n\nTay: And from what you told me, I know now that I can trust Corey to be my sister?s first true love.\n\nScooter: (he sighs) That's very nice, you want Izzi to be happy.\n\nTay: Very much so, she's the part that completes my life, must be the bond that twins have I guess.\n\nTay: I thought Corey would come when he found out I'm coming back.\n\nScooter: Yeah I told him earlier to come, he was so happy, but he couldn't make it, his parents had plans this weekend.\n\nTay: It's okay.\n\nScooter: But he did tell me he wanted to see you at school to talk, he wants to get to know you more.\n\nThe two continued playing and chatting, after 10 minutes the girls came back and started eating the chips and sodas they bought, when it was already 1:30 in the afternoon Brenda and Jason returned with the shopping, the puppies said hello and helped prepare everything for this special occasion, after an hour the Morales arrived, then the two families along with Izzi and Tay's friends gathered in the backyard and set up the barbecue, the adults chatted and laughed about their anecdotes. And the puppies played, Jules found a great mischief partner in Katherine and they both annoyed Becky and Scooter. Becky seemed to be a little frustrated but by the time they were preparing the refreshments Katherine was very kind and polite to Becky and the two became good friends, although Katherine is a bit naughty and boastful she has the same big heart as her mother and David won everyone's affection by being very modest and kind, although he is quite mischievous and naughty when he is with someone very trustworthy, Becky noticed this when she saw him playing with Tay and his sister.\n\nThe children grouped together and sat on the lawn to play monopoly, Tay and Izzi were winning, both having the most goods and money, when only the two of them were left it became an endless game, after a few minutes they both decided to tie at the suggestion of Becky and Katherine\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "
UNEXPECTTRACTION

Chapter 9

A new beginning.

Written by James Rex


Finally dinner was served and everyone sat down to eat, while they ate everyone laughed at the anecdotes that were told, even the children told their anecdotes, time passed, it was already 10:00 at night, the two families agreed to have a barbecue tomorrow afternoon.

Before leaving, Gonzalo asked Tay to go with him to take his things out of the truck, after taking down Tay's bicycle and backpack, Gonzalo lifted the tarp a little more and took out a beautiful guitar case.

Gonzalo: I was going to give it to you as a surprise after you dedicated your first song to us on your own.

Gonzalo: But it's better if I give it to you now.

Tay: It's really mine (his eyes sparkled when he saw it).

Gonzalo: Yes champ, you have talent and you learn fast, I would like you to keep practicing so that someday you can dedicate us a song with this guitar.

Tay hugs Gonzalo thanking him, then they both went back to the house with the stuff, Tay ran upstairs to his room carrying the guitar and his backpack, when he entered his room he left his stuff on the bed, then he ran back downstairs.

When everyone said goodbye, Carmen, David and Gonzalo went to the pickup, but Katherine stayed in front of the entrance.

Carmen: We're leaving now sweetheart.

Katherine: I'll be there in a minute mom.

Tay walks up to her.

Tay: Well then, I'll see you tomorrow.

Katherine: Yeah, I want it to be morning soon.

Katherine: (she starts playing with her hair) Taylor, there is something I wanted to tell you a few days ago.

Tay: What is it?

Katherine: Well I ...... (she looks him in the eyes and blushes)

Katherine: (she lowers her gaze and fiddles with her hands) It's hard to explain, I .....

Katherine lifts her gaze and sees Tay's face and without giving him time to respond she hugs him and they give him a kiss on the lips, Tay was frozen in surprise but a few seconds later he responded by hugging her and completing the kiss, he felt as if the world started to spin around him, his mind was spinning and he felt butterflies in his stomach, it was a very nice feeling.

After a few minutes they broke apart and looked at each other for a few seconds.

Katherine: I like you Tay, I like you a lot.

Tay: I like you too Katherine (he caresses her face softly).

They hug each other again.

Carmen, Gonzalo, Brenda and Jason looked very happy at the beautiful couple.

Carmen looked at her husband with tenderness, he smiles and kisses her.

Brenda sighed with relief, all her worries vanished into thin air and Jason felt proud of his son.

David, a little confused, wagged his tail with joy and hugged his mother, Izzi on the other hand felt happy to see her brother being happy, but at the same time felt a little jealous but tried not to make a big deal out of it.

Then the Morales family got into their truck and left, the McIntosh's stayed watching them until the truck disappeared down the next street, the family went into the house and got ready for bed, peace and tranquility reigned again in the McIntosh's house. Brenda and Jason went to say goodnight to their children and then happily went to their bedroom.

Tay: Have a good rest sis (He shows a big smile).

Izzi: Sweet dreams brother.

They both went into their respective rooms. Tay turned on the light in his room and noticed that everything was the same as he left it the day he left, the bed a little distended, the closet open, the books in the writing, it was as if time had stopped inside his room, Tay looked for his sleeping clothes and put them on then he looked at his bed, there was his backpack and the guitar case that Gonzalo gave him, he opened the case and saw a beautiful custom guitar chosen with taste, the front side is black, the sides and handle are dark brown and the edges are golden with small details and the varnish shined in a fine finish, Tay was very fascinated, it was a very beautiful guitar, he held back the desire to touch the strings because he felt very shy that his parents or Izzi would hear him, he looked at all the details of his guitar until he found a hole and looking at it with more curiosity he also found a plate with buttons (IT IS AN ELECTROACUSTIC GUITAR). Tay didn't know what that for his guitar so he decided not to touch any of it for fear of damaging it, then he carefully put it back in its case and put it in a corner of his closet, he left it well hidden so no one would see it unless they took all the clothes out of the closet.

Tay lay down on his bed after putting the backpack on his desk chair, it was so nice to be in his own bed, it is so comfortable, he snuggled in and as he was already used to the new schedule of his other family he started to feel very sleepy at that moment, he looked at his watch, it was already 11:00 at night, as he started to enter the world of dreams the door of his room opened and a voice was heard.

Izzi: Tay, can I sleep with you?

Tay: (he gets up and yawns) Yes, come on.

Izzi smiled, closed the door and climbed into bed, she cuddled up behind her brother and put her glasses on the table, Tay snuggled back in and pressed his back against Izzi's back.

Tay: Good night Iz.

Izzi: Good night Tay.

They both fell asleep in no time, the night passed and the sun started to rise, Tay woke up early as was his new habit, he stretched and looked out the window, it looked like it was going to be a great sunny day, then she looked at his sister, Izzi was sleeping peacefully next to him, Tay touched her nose gently causing her to readjust but she didn't wake up, Tay just smiled at being able to be together with his sister again and to be with his family again.

After stretching and yawning again he got off his bed and went to the bathroom, upon returning he noticed that his parents were still not up it was obvious since they always slept late on the weekends, he went into his room and sat down in the chair in front of the desk, he then started rummaging through his backpack pulling out his clothes and putting them back in place, he then pulled out his cell phone and tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on, the battery had been dead for over six days so he looked for his charger and plugged it into the outlet. While he was making sure he didn't have anything else in his backpack he remembered the toy soldier that David had given him, he looked for it in the pockets of his backpack and found it, he looked at the toy soldier for a while remembering that David always took him almost everywhere and played with him, after a few minutes Tay moved the soldier's arms and legs putting him in a firm pose, saluting with one hand and holding his rifle in the other, then he put it on a shelf that he had on top of his desk.

Tay picked up his cell phone and this time he turned it on, after a moment it started to vibrate and ring because of all the messages and missed calls he had, most of them were from his mom, his dad and Izzi, the rest were from almost everyone he knew, some from Becky, Jules, Scooter and there were even some calls and messages from a number he didn?t have registered, Tay was curious to know who they were from and he read those messages.

???: Hi Tay, I don't know if you remember me but I'm in the same class as you, I'm Corey.

Corey: On Tuesday I saw Izzi very sad at school and I got up the courage to ask her what was wrong and she told me that you ran away from home.

Corey: I don't care why you left I just beg you to come back, I can't stand seeing Izzi sad and it breaks my heart to see her like that, I have tried to cheer her up and comfort her but this Thursday she didn't come back to school and I am very worried about her.

Corey: Please come back, do it for her, for your family, they are very worried about you and they are looking for you everywhere.

Tay was surprised that the fox boy who has always been shy was worried about him, even though it was more for his sister.

Tay: "How did he get my number?"

Tay: "I?m sure Scooter gave it to him."

Tay: "Never mind, better yet, it's a good opportunity to befriend him."

Tay registers Corey's number and answers his message.

Tay: Don't worry bro, I'm back, my sister is fine and I thank you so much for taking care of her while I was gone and trying to make her feel better.

Tay: I would like to get to know you better one of these days.

After sending the message Tay left his cell phone and laid down on the table looking out the window, a few minutes later his mom came into the room.

Brenda: Taylor have you seen Isabelle? she is not in her room.

Tay: Yes mom, Izzi is here (He points to her bed).

Brenda looked at her daughter sleeping very peacefully, after six days it was the first time she saw her sound asleep, since Tay ran away Izzi could not sleep and had many nightmares.

Brenda smiled, approached her and tucked her in.

Brenda: Why are you awake so early love?

Tay: I'm used to it mom.

Brenda: Ok, I'll go make breakfast, do you want to join me?

Tay: Yes mom.

Tay got up and walked with his mother to the kitchen, Brenda listened attentively to the things Tay told her while she was cooking, Tay told her that now he could speak Spanish, he also told her about the beautiful paintings and sculptures that Carmen made, that he could now disassemble some things about cars even though he didn't like mechanics and that the Morales' little son considered him his older brother. Brenda smiled warmly at her son, she was very proud of him, Tay felt very shy to say that he liked to play the guitar so he better not tell her that part and they both had a nice mother and son moment.

Izzi woke up after having a very nice dream and looked around remembering that last night she came to Tay's room because she couldn't sleep, she looked next to her but there was no one there, she felt a little pressure in her heart.

Izzi: "Was everything that happened just a dream?"

Izzi curled up again starting to feel sadness but at that moment she could feel the warmth of her brother who was still preserved in the place where he slept, Izzi sighed relieved and smiled.

Izzi: "It wasn't a dream, he's here, he's back home."

She lay there enjoying the warmth and fell asleep again.

Brenda finally finished preparing breakfast and asked Tay to go wake up his dad and sister, Tay smiled and went upstairs, first she went to wake up Izzi.

Tay approaches his sister walking slowly and giving her a gentle bump on the nose woke her up.

Tay: Wake up sleeping beauty, or do you want mommy to send you an invitation?

Izzi sees Tay in front of her with a big smile and she smiles too.

Izzi: I'm happy you are here and it's not another fake dream.

Tay: It makes me happy to be home together with you too.

Tay: Come on, get up and let's go wake up daddy.

Izzi stretches while yawning and putting on her glasses she gets out of bed and runs after her brother to her parents' room.

They both peeked their heads out the door and saw a big lump under the covers that was rising and falling with every snore, both twins looked at each other and stifled a giggle, they walked together until they were close to the bed after counting to three they both jumped on their daddy.

Tay, Izzi: Daddy get up now.

Jason: Mmmnnnnn .....

Izzi: Come on, it's getting late.

Jason: Mmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn ....

Tay: If you don't wake up I will use my special attack.

Jason: Mmnnn? (He snores).

Tay: Well, you asked for it.

Tay started tickling his daddy and Izzi played along, Jason tried to restrain himself but he couldn't anymore and started laughing along with his kids.

Jason: NOW YOU WILL SEE BRATS.

Jason laid Tay on the bed and started to tickle him, Tay laughed very happy, Izzi hugged his dad from behind and tried to separate him from Tay.

Izzi: NO, LEAVE HIM.

Jason: (laughs) I ALSO HAVE FOR YOU.

Jason grabs Izzi and laid her down next to Tay and tickles them both, Jason was happy to play with his kids, they were the most important thing in his life.

After much laughter the three of them went to the kitchen and had breakfast together while Tay told his dad and sister what he had already told his mom.

Jason: That's great, I might need someone to help me with the car if it breaks down.

Tay: I don't like mechanics dad.

Jason: (he smiles) It's ok son, you can choose what you like to do when you grow up, me and your mom will support you in everything.

Jason: And you too princess (smiles warmly at Izzi).

Jason: No doubt the Morales are a great family and we are lucky to be friends with them.

Brenda: You are right love, by the way, we have to go buy what we are going to need for the barbecue.

While her parents were talking and Tay was eating his pancakes, Izzi thought about what Tay told them, it was incredible to know that Tay was able to learn another language, some mechanics and art in only 6 days, days that seemed like an eternity to her, she also thought about the moment when Tay mentioned Gonzalo, he seemed to blush for a moment before saying that he had taken him to the workshop where he worked, it was strange, it was as if he was hiding something, but what is it?

Brenda: Little David is a sweetheart, he is very respectful and quiet unlike his sister who is a little more unruly but also very respectful.

Brenda: It makes me very happy when I hear him call you big brother, Taylor, they both look cute when they play together.

Brenda: And you treat him like he's your little brother too, that's very sweet of you love.

Tay blushes when he hears his mom.

Jason: You would make a good brother and Izzi sure would too.

Jason: So maybe we can give them a little brother that is our own blood or maybe two, who knows.

Brenda: JASON!

Brenda blushes at the look of mischief on her husband's face and starts drinking her juice.

Tay laughs at the sight of them but noticed his sister was lost in thought.

Tay: Izzi if you keep thinking more smoke will come out of your head (he starts laughing).

Izzi also laughs and leaving her thoughts aside she started to eat, when they finished, Brenda and Jason went up to their room to change clothes, Izzi stayed washing the dishes and Tay stayed helping her, after a few minutes they finished washing.

Brenda and Jason went downstairs, then Brenda called the twins who were still in the kitchen, they both left the kitchen and went to the main entrance hallway where their parents were.

Brenda: We are leaving now my loves.

Brenda: Behave yourselves and please don't do bad things anymore (her look reflected sadness).

Tay noticed that look and approached her mom who was crouched down in front of them.

Tay: No we won't, I promise you that from now on I will never do anything to hurt you again mom.

Tay gives her mom a kiss on the cheek and then hugs her, Brenda's eyes got a little wet and breaking her embrace she kissed her two puppies on the forehead.

Jason: We won't be long, we'll be back before noon if we find everything we need.

Izzi, Tay: We will be waiting for you.

The two older dingos got out and got into their car, as their parents drove past the house with the car the twins waved goodbye waving their paws, then the car disappeared down the other street.

Izzi and Tay entered the house and closed the door.

Izzi: So what do we do now?

Tay: (scratches his head) Mmnn I don?t know, how about you help me catch up on my homework.

Izzi: If you want (She looked bored).

Tay: Or how about we watch a movie on TV or play a video game.

Izzi: (she smiles) Ok and what do you want to watch or play?

Tay: Let's try to unlock a new racetrack in "speed racing".

Izzi: Great, let's do that then.

They both went to the living room and turned on the TV and PS2. When they were waiting for the game to load someone knocked on the door.

Tay: I'll go see who it is.

Tay got up and ran to the hallway but before going to the front door he heard the knocking coming from the back door, Tay smiled because he knew who it was and walked to the door without saying anything.

Tay opened the door a little and sharpened her voice a little so that it sounded like her sister's voice.

Tay: What happened Becky? (He was trying to contain his laughter).

Becky: I saw your parents' car drive by just now and came to accompany you.

Becky: You are so depressed about your brother or boyfriend, so I don't want you to be alone.

Tay: (in his thoughts) "You really told her Izzi".

Tay: I just want to be alone (he still struggling not to laugh).

Becky: Come on Izzi I'm your friend and I'm not going to leave you, besides I want to tell you something that happened last night.

Tay: What happened?

He was a little curious.

Becky: Last night I saw a blue pickup passing in front of my house, and when I saw it I felt happiness, it was very strange, it was as if something in that truck provoked it and when I was sleeping I dreamt that Tay came back and came in that truck with other people.

Tay: I knew it, you have psychic powers because you're not from this planet (he said no longer able to contain her laughter).

Becky: TAYLOR!

Becky: Is that you?

Becky: But how?

Becky: When?

Becky: From where?

Tay: It's me, I was playing a joke on you but don't get mad, I could not avoid it.

Becky opened the door wide and it was true, her ears weren't lying, it was him, he was there in front of her and he looked better than ever.

Tay got a little nervous when he saw the raccoon staring at him.

Tay: "It was very silly to play that joke on her".

Tay: "I think I'd better apologize."

He looks at the raccoon and scratches his head.

Tay: Becky I'm really sorry, you were worried about me too and you don't know how sorry I am to hear that.

Becky hugged Tay surprising him and started to cry with joy.

Becky: You are a fool, I thought I would never see you again and listen to your nonsense.

Becky: You are my best friend, almost a brother to me and I was so worried about you.

Tay hugged Becky and started caressing her back, he also let out some tears.

Tay: You are my best friend too and I am so sorry for making you feel sad.

Becky: You don't know how happy I am, the others should know too, I have to tell them that you are back and you are okay.

Becky took out her cell phone and started texting her friends giving them the good news, then they both went into the house, the three of them chatted and played until one by one some friends started to arrive, first was Scooter and then Jules, they also cried and hugged Tay when they saw him again, the five kids spent the whole morning chatting about the things that happened when Tay was gone and they listened to Tay when he told them about the people he met and what he learned from them.

Scooter: I still can't believe you can speak another language.

Tay: Yes I can, not that well, but I understand it and I can say a lot of things.

Scooter: I don't know, one time I tried to speak Japanese and I couldn't.

Tay: Pues si sigues diciendo que no me crees te voy a patear el culo chingadamadre/Well if you keep saying you don't believe me I'm going to kick your ass.

Scooter: Ok, Ok I believe you, I'm surprised, what did you say to me?

Tay: (laughs) Nothing, I just said I was telling you the truth.

Scooter: Oh come on it wasn't that.

Tay: (still laughing) It was nothing just forget it.

After a while the three girls went to the store to buy some snacks, Tay and Scooter stayed in the house playing on the PS2.

Tay: Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

Scooter: What is it?

Tay paused the game.

Tay: This morning I checked my cell phone and saw some messages from Corey.

Scooter: Really? he almost got down on his knees at school when he asked for your number so I gave it to him.

Tay: It's okay, what I wanted to ask you was if he was really with Izzi all this time.

Scooter: Sure, he was very sad to see Izzi so depressed.

Scooter: Corey cheered her up, helped her in class and even came to your house twice to keep her company when your parents were out putting up posters and looking for you.

Scooter: He didn't want to see her sad and would try to make her smile by showing his drawings or being cute with her.

Scooter: Izzi would respond to his details, thank him and tell him that he is a great friend and that she loved him very much.

Tay: Well that's a breakthrough, that means he has a chance to win my sister's heart.

Scooter: Do you really want her to fall in love with him?

Tay: I just want to help her take the next step.

Tay: The rest is up to them, it's something that even I can't control.

Scooter: Why do you want your sister to fall in love with him?

Tay: Don't pretend anymore, I'm sure Jules or Becky told you what happened.

Scooter: Yes you're right, it's very strange for me that two siblings would fall in love like that.

Tay: Well, that's all behind us now.

Scooter: I get it, you want your sister to fall in love with Corey so she forgets about you.

Tay: Sort of, the thing is, I fell in love with ....

Tay: (he blushes) another girl.

Scooter: Really? (He said surprised).

Tay: Yes, and I don't want Izzi to be alone forever, our separation affected her a lot.

Tay: I don't want her to think that she will never be able to fall in love with someone else.

Tay: That's why I want to help her realize that there is someone who will take care of her and protect her like she thought it would be with me.

Tay: And from what you told me, I know now that I can trust Corey to be my sister?s first true love.

Scooter: (he sighs) That's very nice, you want Izzi to be happy.

Tay: Very much so, she's the part that completes my life, must be the bond that twins have I guess.

Tay: I thought Corey would come when he found out I'm coming back.

Scooter: Yeah I told him earlier to come, he was so happy, but he couldn't make it, his parents had plans this weekend.

Tay: It's okay.

Scooter: But he did tell me he wanted to see you at school to talk, he wants to get to know you more.

The two continued playing and chatting, after 10 minutes the girls came back and started eating the chips and sodas they bought, when it was already 1:30 in the afternoon Brenda and Jason returned with the shopping, the puppies said hello and helped prepare everything for this special occasion, after an hour the Morales arrived, then the two families along with Izzi and Tay's friends gathered in the backyard and set up the barbecue, the adults chatted and laughed about their anecdotes. And the puppies played, Jules found a great mischief partner in Katherine and they both annoyed Becky and Scooter. Becky seemed to be a little frustrated but by the time they were preparing the refreshments Katherine was very kind and polite to Becky and the two became good friends, although Katherine is a bit naughty and boastful she has the same big heart as her mother and David won everyone's affection by being very modest and kind, although he is quite mischievous and naughty when he is with someone very trustworthy, Becky noticed this when she saw him playing with Tay and his sister.

The children grouped together and sat on the lawn to play monopoly, Tay and Izzi were winning, both having the most goods and money, when only the two of them were left it became an endless game, after a few minutes they both decided to tie at the suggestion of Becky and Katherine
