"Kyle's Cousin"

Kyle was already asleep in his dad's arms as Jessie slowly toddled back home with their mom after a fun evening together.  Though to be honest, Kyle actually fell asleep during the film and it was only after the movie ended anyone noticed he fell asleep that soon.  Jessie looked up gently at Kyle wondering if he was going to awaken just a little bit while their folks would clean up their kittens and tuck them into bed.  But as she looked up, Kyle just didn't budge as their dad opened the door, blushing softly as their mom checked her diaper.

"Good thing it's bath time for you two," their mom softly giggled, "As you're a really soggy kitten.  I bet your brother is too."  Jessie just nodded shyly as she checked Kyle as well and smiled softly; her intuition was spot-on concerning Kyle.  After they all got in, their dad led Jessie to the bathroom as he carried Kyle along, still sound asleep as Jessie started to undress herself in the hallway.  Their mom just shook her head as she closed the door behind them, gently cooing at the leopards, "Make sure those two behave, Sampson"]

"I will Rosie," Sampson replied with a playful purr while he gently undressed Kyle and Jessie finished undressing herself, finding the bubble bath for them.

"I got the bubble bath ready!" Jessie smiled softly as she started to draw the water for their bath.

"Good girl," Sampson smiled, "Go on and hop in, I'll get your brother in since he's a sleepyhead."  Jessie noddled as she carefully got the tub all filled up.  Once the water was the rigth temperature and level of suds, Jessie slowly climbed in and smiled, noticing that Kyle as slowly opened his eyes a bit.

"J-jessie?" Kyle sleepily cooed, "Did you like the movie?"  Jessie giggled as he splished a little water at him.

"You fell asleep in the middle, silly," Jessie cooed playfully as Sampson carefully helepd Kyle into the tub, smiling as his little boy started to splash a little bit.  He tenderly watched the two play in the water, Kyle finally waking up a bit as he pawwed at Jessie's nose.  She just smiled and giggled as she wiggled some of the suds into his head, the two just idly playing as Sampson got their bathing mitts for them, wiggling them onto each other their paws.  Jessie was pretty enthusiastic as she worked some soap into the mitt and started to bathe Kyle instead of herself. Kyle blushed softly as Jessie worked on his hair and shoulders.  Kyle decided to return the favor, but not before playfully splashing some water on Jessie which made her giggle and tease him in return.  As Sampson went out of the bathroom briefly, Jessie started to really wash her brother down with a smile, enjoying the experience of keeping her brother nice and clean as he started to lather her up as well.  As the suds from the bubbles subsided and Jessie was working on Kyle's tummy, she idly giggled as she saw his feline loins, still very curious about his nether regions after she fitted him into her training pants.  She softly gazed at it as she kept working her way down and getting him all cleaned up.  As Kyle worked his way down, he started to notice Jessie's nether regions, blushing very hard as he saw them.  Instead of a little "wand" like he had (as he called his privates) she had a soft mound with very soft fur covering it.  Like Jessie, he started to get very curious as he worked on getting her legs cleaned.

"I-I see why you started at me when you diapered me," Kyle whispered quietly and sleepily, "I-I'm different than you...but I-I like it."  Jessie blushed hard as she got her brother's toes cleaned up.

"Ummm," Jessie blushed hard, "D-day says we need to keep our diaper areas clean.  D-do you mind, I'll be good."  Kyle bit his lip a bit, then shyly nodded as they started to shyly clean each other up.

"If...you let me clean yours," Kyle cooed as Jessie nodded.  The two intertwined their arms as they started to slowly clean each other.  The two were blushing furiously as they were gently cleaning each other.  They gasped in surprise when they found that as they cleaned each other, it was pleasing to their touch.  But since they promised to be good kittens, they were very brief and gentle about cleaning each other up.  The two looked at each other in confused amusement, wondering why they did it.  They kept thinking about it until they felt lots of water flush over their fur, the two gasping in surprise as they watched their dad was rinsing them off as he pulled the plug on the tub itself.

"Looks like I have two very shy kittens," Sampson mewed softly, "Why are you blushing."

"W-we don't know," the two answered as Sampson gently pulled the two out and started to dry them off.  Sampson just shook his head in amusement as he fluffed the fur of his children, then gently lotioned and powdered them up.

"Oh okay," Sampson answered, "Sorry Kyle, I forgot to get your diapers so I hope you don't mind sharing your sister's pair tonight."  Kyle whined in embarassment as their dad snuggly diapered the two kittens in cute purple princess diapers, kissing their cheeks as he pats her thicky diapered bottoms.  He then worked Kyle into a cute two-piece pajama set as he helped Jessie into a cute pink nightgown, smiling softly as his little kittens were all dressed up for bed.  Without saying a word, Sampson shooed the two to their bedrooms...but stopping the two before they opened their doors.

"Dad!" Kyle fussed, "I wanna sleep!"

"I gotta tell you two something, almost forgot," Sampson mewed softly, "Aunt Helena is coming by tomorrow and she's bringing your cousin Maya too."  Kyle blushed and whined as he scooted himself to bed while Jessie noddled and smiled, giving their dad a kiss as she scampered off to bed.  Sampson though padded up to Kyle and giggled, "Forgetting something, Kyle?"  He whined a little more as he tiredly kissed his dad's cheek.  Satified, Sampson quietly closed the door as he whispered "goodnight" to his son.  Kyle was squirming as he fell asleep; Maya was coming over for the afternoon to play with the two...and it made him very embarrassed.  He really liked his sister alot but much of his shyness and embarrassment with Maya came about a couple of episodes from his youth.  As he dreamed, both incidents went through his mind.  The first of which was back when he was three and just potty trained.  He was just about to take off his last training pants ever...at least until recently.  As he thought he was alone, he was starting to undress, he heard a very shy purr as the door opened.  He couldn't even start to change his clothes as he felt a pair of leopard paws wrap around his shoulders.  Before he could see who it was, he was tugged right into his black-haired cousin, Maya Lionwood.  She softly purred and nuzzled his cheek as she looked at Kyle and his cute blue eyes.  He started to whine as she just hugged him tight, not saying why but having a very sad face about her.  The hug went uninterrupted for about three minutes till she said her only words, "I don't wanna grow up."  After those words, she gave him his first kiss, the two blushing furiously as she kissed her cousin.  When they stopped, Maya slowly tippy-toed off quietly, still giving him a sad look.  As that particular memory left his mind the other, happening about two years later started to come into his mind.  He was visiting Aunt Helena as his folks were away with Jessie.  While their Aunt was outside taking care of the yard, he found that Maya had tugged Kyle over to her room, still sad.  She wanted Kyle to be little like her, she knew he wasn't fully happy with being the big boy.  As much as Kyle would say that he was the big boy...he didn't want to admit that he missed being diapered like Jessie.  He didn't want to admit that it was a freedom he secretly yearned for.  As Maya closed the door she wanted to show him something.  As she took off her pink overalls, she showed him her cute pair of girly diapers.  Kyle blushed furiously, asking why she never potty trained.  She shook her head as she laid a pawdigit on his muzzle...she told him that she could never train herself.  She tried hard but she just didn't like it; even after working with many doctors they just gave up.  However, part of that was because she had a secret too...she liked diapers too much and just wanted to see other cubs in them, never using a potty at all.  He blushed a bit as that was the first time someone also caught his own problems.  He had wet himself a bit already and when she found out, she shook her head and took it to herself to diaper him up once more. He was puzzled as to why she was doing it; once he had him diapered like a little kitten, she gently laid on him and licked his nose softly.  He didn't know what to think as she sat her diapered bottom over his, laying on him.  He also didn't know why he liked it so much as she gave him another kiss, rolling him over her as they cuddled a bit.  He didn't remember much else but that...he fell asleep without knowing and when he woke up, Maya was pressed up to him and grinning as they were both wet.  He liked it, too and gave her an appreciative kiss, liking that her idea helped him nap well.  But now though, with the passing years, he wondered if she already had a crush on him. And as he thought of that, would Jessie be as jealous as Melanie was when Jessie was being friendly with Charlie?  He was both fearing and anticipating Maya's visit.  Unlike Charlie, he wasn't as sure if his affections for his sister were beyond mere curiosity.  And...he knew that Maya would be estatic that he was back in diapers.  Her soft golden fur and brown spots were a blanket he wanted to pull close to and cuddle with.  He wanted to thank her for proving she was right - that he would never really get away from being little.

The sun peered into the room as Kyle slowly woke up.  He was still very restless after finding out from his dad that his aunt and his Maya were coming over today.  However, he didn't know when they were going to show up as he slowly wiggled out of bed.  He looked around for his dad or his sister but saw that no one was waiting to take care of him so he started to make his way to the kitchen.  As he toddled about, his jammie bottoms were falling off, slowly exposing his wet diaper to the world. By the time he came to the kitchen he found that their visitors arrived early...and there she was, his cousin Maya sitting in a little chair and softly gazing at him.  She was both amused and shocked as he saw his wet diaper, cooing softly at him.

"H-hello, Kyle," Maya purred softly, "How's my cute cousin?"

"F-fine," Kyle mumbled.

"How's your sister's diaper?" she asked, now teasing him as she could see his diaper in it's current state.  Kyle looked down and blushed furiously as he was still in the diaper his dad put him in last night, "Seems Unca Sampson needs to take care of you."  She purred and winked at Kyle as Sampson blushed and giggled a bit as he nudged Kyle on to his room again.

"Sorry, Kyle," Sampson blushed, "Forgot that you needed checked this morning.  You slept in too since you were very tired last night."  Kyle blushed as his dad was shyly laying his son onto his bed and started to change him.  He was blushing a bit as he was nicely cleaning up his son.

"Dad?  What are ya thinking about?"

"Well, thinking about what you had asked me," Sampson blushed as he got Kyle nicely lotioned and powdered down, "I tried to approach your mom about it...but I'm too scared."

"Dad," Kyle blushed heavily as Sampson finally diapered in one of his cute baby blue pairs, "I'm scared right now too...you told me Maya would be here today.  And I feel weird around her; I don't wanna admit she was right about my...diapers."  Sampson blushed hard as Kyle told him about Maya.  It started to give him flashbacks of his days of ageplaying with Naomi and he tried his best to hold a brave face.

"S-sorry," Kyle mumbled, "Shouldn't have mentioned that Maya makes me feel odd."

"No, no one's fault," Sampson shook his head as he dressed Kyle up in a green tee and denim overalls.  "But Kyle, you need to be careful.  Remember what happened with me?"

"I do dad," Kyle nodded softly, "It's not normal to feel like that with...family, right?"

"Well, yes," Sampson nodded as he patted Kyle's head, "But then again...I still wished that I could have been with her..." His conversation trailed off as he sniffled a little bit.  He did want Kyle to be happy but he wanted to make sure that he didn't make the same mistake he did in both bonding with his step-sister but the second one of not following his feelings.  Sampson didn't have a good answer for his son as the two walked up the hall as everyone was waiting for the two boys.  It was then when Kyle, just as conflicted as his dad shook his head and shuddered in frustration.

"Dad," Kyle looked at his dad sqare in the eyes, "I know it might not be the right answer to some but...maybe I need to answer that myself!"  Sampson was stunned that Kyle had such determination.  Was Kyle wanting to take such a risk?  A risk to repeat his own path?  He didn't know but it seemed like Kyle understood that sometimes the toughest decisions were things that only he could make.  Sampson didn't want Kyle to see him hurt like that, but the hardest thing for him to do was to let go and see if Kyle would make such a decision.  As the two came up, Rosalyn warmly snuggled to her husband and licked his cheek as she noticed he was getting those bad memories back.  She also nuzzled Kyle's cheek as he hopped up besides his sister and Maya.  Sampson just hated having to fight his past over and over, he just wish there was a way to find peace.  Maybe, just maybe Kyle's own suggest might be the way but he didn't know how to broach the subject with Rosalyn as Helena brought her brother and his family their stacks of pancakes.  Like Rosalyn and everyoen else at the table, they didn't know what Kyle and Sampson were talking about as Sampson took care of his son's change.

"So, how're my favorite boys?" Rosalyn asked as she petted Sampson and softly gazed at the little kittens across the table.

"I'm good, momma," Kyle nodded softly as he started to eat breakfast with the other kittens.

"I'm...alright," Sampson nodded as he started to work on his pancakes as well.  All the ladies at the table had no problem eating their breakfast, enjoying Helena's famous pancakes and the syrupy goodness that covered them with Jessie being the messiest girl of the lot.  The two boys though, especially after their conversation, were feeling a bit tense from that conversation, ate the pancakes.  Both Jessie and Maya noticed that the little boy in the middle was feeling nervous about something, they just had to figure out what was going on.  The best the two could do while eating though was to gently brush and nestle their tails around Kyle which made him blush, but it did slowly relax him some.  When breakfast was done and all the dishes cleaned up, all the grown-ups were spending time in the living room talking about grown-up things.  Since the kittens were expected to go and play, Jessie was looking for some good cartoons to watch for the three to watch.  However, just after Kyle washed up, he found Maya gently laying against the door frame with a soft smile.  When he started to head to the den, Maya gently ruffled Kyle's hair and nuzzled his cheek.

"M-maya," Kyle blushed as she petted him, "Been the first time I saw you smile in a long time."

"Y-you're right," Maya softly nodded as she slowly undid his overalls, "I guess it's because everyone one can see you as I do...at least what you really were on the inside." Kyle blushed furiously as she tugged his overalls off him.

"Dad doesn't let us to without pants with company!" Kyle fussed as she tossed the overalls off him, "Why?"  Maya gently smiled as she rubbed noses with him, her tail hiking up a bit to show Kyle her diapered bottom.  He also blushed - it looked exactly like the pair he was wearing overnight that his dad accidentally fitted him into.  But...he liked it; it was as cute as he imagined it would be on her...but why was she amused that he was in a girly pair though?  Maya smiled softly as she wrapped her arms around Kyle and led him to his room.

"Because, it makes me think you are keeping it a secret from little ol' me," Maya purred as she laid his overalls on the bed and gently petted him, "Heard that Jessie fitted you into her training pants.  How was that to be diapered by your sister?" 

"S-strange," Kyle blushed, "But good...didn't know why she was starting at my diaper area...but when I bathed with her last night I found out why.  We're different Maya...boys and girls."

"I-I know," Maya smiled and nodded as she gently stroked his chest, "I found out by accident, too.  Kinda embarassing...but when trying to get mom to help me out, I found mom and dad putting those special parts together.  It was strange and weird...and they enjoyed it." Kyle blushed red when she told him about that.  Boy parts, and girl parts together?  His aunt and uncle liked doing that?  His mind was trying to process those thoughts just as Maya licked his cheek.

"M-maya," Kyle whispered, "I told my dad that I felt...weird when I'm around you.  I don't know why.  That secret diaper nap we had, that kiss at 3, I enjoyed that but I didn't tell anyone."  Maya awwed, but at the same time, felt drawn to Kyle, slowly laying on him.

"I didn't tell anyone either," Maya whispered, "I think it'd freak mom out...I kinda heard a bit about Unca Sampson and that you're mom was my step-aunt."  Kyle yelped a bit in shock - he thought that only Jessie and him knew about his own parentage.

"Y-you know?" Kyle yelped, "D-dad told me himself...but it pains him to tell anyone."  Maya and Kyle both blushed as they gazed into each other.  A little more of the picture came in and Kyle understood why his dad told him his family was relieved of what happened.

"You mean?"

"I-it tears him up!" Kyle cried, "He loves our mom but his heart was with Naomi!"  Fortunately the sound of chatter and the television upstairs was enough to mask the kitten's conversation.  Maya reeled a bit in shock; she didn't know that Sampson loved his step-sister...just that his step-sister was Kyle's mom. She was starting to feel confused as she looked at her cousin.  She was starting to feel the same odd feelings she had when they were younger, but now as with then, she wanted it.  She really liked Kyle and always wanted him to be little like her.  She gently petting his diapered bottom, purring as she ran he paw along his leg gathers, watching him shiver and twitch his legs a bit as she did.  Kyle was rather shy about it at first, but then curled a smile at her as she ran her paw up his side to his cheek, softly petting it.  He felt so warm to her as he softly petted her cheek, his other paw slowly wandering down her back, playing with the ribbon on her jumper dress, then finally getting his paw under the dress, started to feel her diaper's waistband and padding.  He blushed hard as he did, but Maya gently smiled at him approvingly.  His heart pounded a bit as he felt a girl's diapered bottom for the first time, feeling its textures and curves, watching her melt in his paws as she wiggled to him some more.

"Do you ever do this...with Jessie?" Maya asked tenderly as she felt his diapered bottom some more, bringing her muzzle closer to his.

"N-no," Kyle shook his head, "But, did your mom tell you that my dad...and Naomi, were like you.  An ageplayer...a babyfur?"  Maya blushed and shook her head, both from the knoweldge and a term she was unfamiliar with but feeling very comfortable with the term.  Her folks tried to deny her very infantile tendencies but she really liked to be a little kitten and hearing those words from Kyle made her feel very welcome, as if she knew she wasn't alone in those thoughts.  Her muzzle drew closer to Kyle, their whiskers meeting. But Kyle didn't pull back as he liked how her whiskers brushed to him, purring softly as their paws met each other and held each other snuggly.

"K-kyle, do you think your sister and you are babyfurs, diaper lovers too?" 

"I-I think so," Kyle nodded as Maya gently positioned her muzzle to his, not sure of what she was doing, but wanting to do it nonetheless.  Kyle was looking at her facial and bodily movements, trying to figure out what she was doing...but allowing her do to it.

"Must run in the family," Maya purred softly, their muzzles finally meeting.  Kyle pulled his muzzled to hers, their lips meeting as their arms wrapped around each other as they shared a deep kiss together, purring loudly. They rolled around on the bed for a bit as they kept kissing each other.  Kyle felt so good in her arms, he didn't want her to go.  She was a little kitten like him, she had many bottled up feelings and secrets looking for a way out, a way for someone to share all she knew and as they kissed, Kyle opened himself to her more. But one thought made him hesitate from going farther - Jessie.  Didn't he feel the same magic when she kissed him as well?  He was sure he did - they did it as often as they thought they could get away with it.  Did he have two pretty little kittens in his life, his family circle, crushing on him and wanting to have these secrets with him?  Maya was thinking the same thing, but not quite knowing of Jessie's affections for Kyle.  Did she like her secret games with Kyle, too...did she want him as an ageplay parter as well (though they would have to know what it entails)?  While they were kissing and rolling and thinking, a squeak was heard from the door way.  The two panicked and looked around thinking it was their parents...but it was a very shocked Jessie, blushing furiously.

"Kyle! Maya!" Jessie fussed, "I thought we were gonna watch cartoons!"

"S-sorry Jessie," Maya blushed hard as she reluctantly helped Kyle back into his overalls, "I couldn't help it..."

"And for you Mister, we'll talk later!" Jessie fussed at Kyle as she tugged the two with her to the den.  She couldn't believe that she saw her brother with Maya.  His cousin, his own cousin, and caressing and kissing her in ways he never shared with Jessie.  She was very upset and very jealous. Was all that kissing and cuddling nothing compared to the embrace of Maya?  She needed answers from Kyle but that had to wait for now.  She wanted to make sure she didn't have to peform damage control in case any of their parents caught on.  To Jessie's relief though, they didn't hear an iota of the drama the kittens were getting themselves involved with as Jessie sat inbetween he brother and her cousin as they started to watch cartoons.  A few hours elasped as Jessie refused to talk to Kyle, the other two kittens not able to do much since Jessie was acting like an unoffical chaperone.  The tense silence was ended when Helena popped her head into the den, telling Maya that it was time to go.  Maya and her mom only stopped for the morning to catch up with Sampson and Rosalyn before heading out to go shopping.  While Jessie was saying her goodbyes to Aunt Helena, Maya managed to sneak a hug and a kiss for Kyle.

"Kyle," Maya whispered, "I-I think your sister is jealous of us. Looks she has some feeling for you too." 

"I-I think so," Kyle whispered back as he kissed her cheek, "Hate playing secretkeeper...but as I told dad, I need to figure this out myself."  The two cousins nodded as they let go of their hug and Maya started to follow her aunt out of the house.

"Kyle...when we kissed, are we kissing cousins?" Maya whispered shyly.

"I guess so...but...I don't know," Kyle whispered, shying away as he felt his sister's eyes come back to him.  He was distracted when Maya left, mostly because he knew his sister was upset. After Maya and her mom left, Kyle and Jessie were left alone in the den while their folks were off taking care of chores around the house.  Jessie plopped down on the couch frustrated, crossing her arms and glaring at Kyle.  He mewed softly as he sat on the floor, feeling as if Jessie was passing judgement on what she saw.  In a way Jessie was judging Kyle for those actions.  At the same time, she wanted to confront him on the raw jealousy she felt when she saw him.

"Kyle, why were you kissing her like that?" Jessie asked sternly.

"I-I don't know," Kyle softly mewed, "I didn't even know it was happening, we were leaning in, our whiskers met, then our muzzles met and then we rolled around..."

"When we kiss, does it feel as, natural?" Jessie asked worryingly.

"I-it does," Kyle nodded slowly, "I like when we kiss like that."

"B-but you stroked her diaper, she stroked yours...you rolled around with her," Jessie whined, "You never do that with me!"  Jessie was right, he was never that close to her.  But the real question she should have asked was why he could be open like that to Maya but now her.  Or why he never cuddled and played with Jessie like that.  It bothered him a bit as he gazed up at his upset sister.  Their eyes met and he blushed, she had a very loving, yet frustrated gaze as she tried to understand her brother.

"I-I wasn't ready," Kyle pleaded, "I didn't know if you were...ready."

"Kyle...I would love to do that," Jessie mewed softly, "I want you to give me a chance, I feel so special around you and it hurts me that you can go deeper with Maya than me."  They both were about to cry as they shared their feelings and their thoughts. Kyle did love both of them a lot, but as he kept telling himself, he didn't know why or how exactly he loved the two kittens.  Maybe this was the pain his dad was trying to warn him about as it was making him feel ill at ease.  As he gazed into Jessie's eyes, he started to feel a need to be close to her.  He climbed right up to Jessie and wrapped his arms around her, gazing softly into her eyes trying to understand what she was trying to say though all the frustration.  It was a cloudy atmosphere inside the room as the two gazed into each other more.  Stil upset at Kyle, Jessie didn't hesitate to wrap herself around him, cooing softly as he petted her cheek, bristling his whiskers to hers as he brought his muzzle to hers, breathing shyly yet warmly right into her fur.  Jessie cooed shyly as he did, her heart was starting to pound as she felt that they were about to go farther than they had before.  A split-second later, she found her lips locked to Kyle's, his paw pressed to her cheek as the two kissed into each other, Jessie leaning into the couch as she allowed Kyle to lay on top of her.  He didn't roll around this time, but he slowly ran his tongue along her lips and his other paw along her side, gently stroking it.  The two shivered happily as he kissed and petted her.  As the last cartoon of the morning ended, they accidentally rolled off the couch and onto the floor, breaking their kiss in surprise.  When they heard the thud, they thought they were being caught.  As they looked around, they found they had just fell off the couch.

"I think cartoons are over," Kyle whispered softly, "And how did we end up here?"

"It was just us..." Jessie blushed, not paying attention to Kyle's question, "How long did we kiss?"

"Uh, I think thirty minutes," Kyle mumbled, "H-how did that feel?" The two finally caught up on the same conversation thread as they rummaged through their thoughts as they started to sit up.

"K-kyle, you're a good kisser," Jessie blushed, "And that petting...do you like the feel of my diapered hips?"  Kyle nodded shyly as they checked on each other - they both were in need of changing before lunch time after all that milk and juice for breakfast.

"I-I like that feeling," Kyle nodded as he helped his sister up, "We should do it more?"

"Promise?" Jessie asked.

"I promise," Kyle nodded softly.

Charlie and Melanie were riding with their dad for their weekly errands.  For having two kids with special needs, their dad had his paws full with the weekly shopping bill.  On top of the food and normal supplies, he had to keep Charlie and Melanie's nurseries well stocked for the two.  And if the kits were good, he usually took them somewhere fun to do a couple of things together...and finally allowed the two to scamper about in the park for a while to run off some of their energy.  While the two found the routine fun most of the time, they had other things on their mind.  They had things to plan and feelings to share, quietly of course.

"Kit," Melanie whispered, "How was last night?  Sorry for asking so late in the morning."

"It's okay Mel," Charlie smiled, "It was wonderful.  I think my thoughts from last night are still the same as right now."  Melanie nodded and smiled as she gently held Charlie's paw.

"I had a wonderful night too, Kit," Melanie whispered, "I really felt your feelings when we cuddled and kissed and all that fun stuff...I loved all of that."  Charlie blushed, but smiled.  His feelings were very mutual.  In their first date, those two felt like they had connected on a deeper level than just siblings and they both loved it.  Though it would make Kyle and Jessie jealous, they just had to share notes with them compared to their Friday night with their folks and see what was going on with the two.

"So where do you think dad is going to take us today to get our stuff?" Charlie talked in a more normal voice.

"I hope it's the farmer's market today," Melanie smiled, "I love going to those and seeing all the fresh food brought in from the area, don't you?  It's like dad's garden."

"I hope dad takes us to the hobby story today, too," Charlie nodded, "Gotta get your stuff for sketching and drawing...and I need some paints for my models."

"Ooooh, good idea, Kit," Melanie nodded, "We better be really good today then."

"Better listen to her, Charlie," their dad added, "If you two want to go to all those places, you two need to be good kiddos."  They both groaned as their dad was taking them to the big department store in town.  Summer was near and the two kits needed their swim clothes as well as activities to do while they were on summer vacation.  Of course, the two kits didn't know what their dad had in mind for their summer vacation other than the two having some opportunities to keep their mind sharp and curious.  Of course, when school is out, not even the kits will know what will happen over the summer.
