hitting Gilbert's arm to get his attention and poked Kiku, having him wake up instantly with a jerk in shock. Gilbert took out his earphones and started laughing at Alfred as he waved his arms around in panic. There was a flash and Kiku had a camera in his hands.
Tino was walking back wearily with his face a bit green and suddenly he covered his mouth with his hands, grabbed the old lady who was kissing Alfred's purse and barged in it. Kiku took multiple pictures as Tino put the purse back and sat back down passing out in his seat. The old lady let go of Alfred's face and Gilbert and I howled loudly with laughter at the red lipstick smeared over his lips like a clown. Kiku took more pictures.
A flight attendant came over to investigate the situation, long story short she separated the old lady from sexually harassing Alfred any further and Kiku sent the pictures to my cellphone which I sent to my email for possible blackmail for later.

"Matthew!" a familiar voice called out.
All five of us were out in the parking lot with our luggage waiting for my mom to pick me up. That was until a silver Ford Fusion Hybrid drove up with my mom behind the wheel. My mother was a very wild woman. I inherited her curly blonde hair, cute face frame and slightly lavender/blue eyes, but never her reckless and wild nature just the looks, but once I saw her in that Hybrid I knew she did something reckless.
"Mom?" I said a bit bewildered at the new car she drove.
My mom put the brakes on the car and got out of the car. She wore her favorite mid length red skirt, black tank top, a pair of sunglasses and her worn out flip flops that had no more flop in them. Her long blonde hair was pulled back by chopsticks and she had the necklace with the Canadian flag dad gave her long ago around her neck. She raced over to me and gave me a tight hug. When she pulled away her smile disappeared into a frown and she grabbed my cheeks with her hands pinching them tightly.
"What did I tell you sweetie, you look cuter when it looks like your blushing," she smiled.
"Mom," I whined in embarrassment.
She ignored me and gave Alfred a hug next.
"Hi there Alfred it's good to see you," she greeted him.
She turned to my other friends and stared at them a moment, before smiling and started shaking their hands.
"Hi, I'm Matthew's mom Shelby, but please just call me Miss Shelby or something along those lines," she introduced herself.
"Yes, my name is Kiku, thank you for letting me stay at your house," Kiku said with a bow.
"I'm Tino, thank you as well for letting me stay at your home," Tino said next.
"And I'm the awesome Gilbert, thank you for letting me stay as well," Gilbert said not losing his cocky attitude.
"Wow, I didn't know your roommate was so handsome Matthew," my mom teased me before grabbing one side of Gilbert's cheek playfully before grinning.
"Yup, I know my husband is just going to love you," she snickered evilly.
"Ok boys load up," she said detaching her grip on Gilbert's cheek.
On the drive to my house Kiku was taking multiple pictures, Gilbert was arguing with Alfred who had to ride in the back with the luggage because there wasn't any extra seats for him up here, and Tino was chatting with my mom. I was looking out the window remembering every single building and houses we passed. The first stop we made was at Alfred's house where I had to let him out of the back and say goodbye before he walked into his house.
While my mom was parking in our driveway she leaned over to me to whisper something.
"Go inside and see your room I'm sure you'll love your surprise."
With a bid grin on my face I unbuckled my belt and ran out in through the front door, passing by my dad who was carrying some boxes out the door.
"Hey son!" he greeted me as I flew up the carpeted stairs. I dashed across the hallway and flung open my bedroom door.
"Oh, hello Mattie~"
Chapter 17: Its Christmas Part 2

"Oh, hello Mattie~"
I took a double take.
There sitting on his bed among the giant herd of stuffed bed was a girl that resembled him perfectly except for the cleavage and better legs, not to mention the curves. She held her own pink bear in her hands and held happy eyes behind her glasses.
Madeline.
"Maddie!" I exclaimed running over to jump on my bed and give my sister the biggest hug I could muster. I sat back still keeping my arms around her and smiling widely.
"I can't believe your actually here!" I said still a bit baffled.
"I know, mom flew me here last week since my school gets out a week earlier than yours for Winter Break, so I'm your surprise," she said jabbing her fingers together in a cute way that made me give her another big hug. Madeline laughed and made a comment about me having more bears than her. I was so happy at the moment, I never get to see Madeline or have much contact with her, but I love the times when we get to spend time together, she was like that other half of me. Then again mom always mixed us up because of our similar hair and eye color, she even has the same hair curl as me and wears glasses as well, so it was easy to mix us up.
"Oh Maddie, you have to come meet my friends," I said grabbing her hand and leading her out of my bedroom.
"Sure," she said cutely.
We soon found ourselves over in the kitchen where Gilbert was put in a headlock by my dad and Kiku and Tino were watching by the bar while eating some chips... Well Kiku was taking a lot of pictures more than watching. Dad soon immediately let Gilbert go when mom walked into the kitchen with her arms crossed.
"And that's how you.. Brush.. Your.. Teeth," dad hesitated in his words when he said this.
"Uh huh, I'm sure that's what you were teaching the boy, none of that "Don't mess with Canadians" stuff, right sweetie?" mom said to dad with sarcasm.
"It's all about the pride my Maple leaf," dad said exchanging a quick peck with mom before turning his attention my way.
"Matthew my boy, have you been getting more buffer in the chest area?" he asked talking to Madeline and placing a hand on her shoulder to indicate that he was in fact talking to her not me.
"Dad, I'm over here," I said making dad jump in realization that I was there.
"Oh I'm sorry Matthew I didn't see you there, hmm you haven't changed much you sure you can beat me one on one game at the rink?"
"Of course I can!" I huffed puffing out my chest. "I'm much more better with my speed and acceleration than last time! I can be the man of the house too."
Dad just scoffed and ruffled my hair. "We'll see about that squirt, go chop up the meat for the stew your mom and I need to go discuss things," he whispered.
"Ok," I nodded moving toward the sink to wash up.
"Hey Mattie who's your clone?" Gilbert asked as I brought the cutting board up on the counter so I could face the bar.
"That's my sister Madeline, Madeline these are my friends," I introduced.
"H-hi, i-it is very n-nice to meet you all eh," she said with a slight blush.
"Hi I'm Tino," Tino introduced himself right away. "Your accent is cute by the way."
Madeline nodded and blushed a bit harder.
"Do you need any help brother?" she asked as I cleaned the meat in the sink.
"No, no, no Maddie you remember last time I let you help cook," I said making Madeline's blush go volcano red,
"B-but I like cooking."
"Sorry Maddie, but I can't have the meat be seasoned in cinnamon or have sweet and sour sauce in the broth."
Madeline just puffed out her cheeks with a furious blush. As I cut the meat up on the cutting board I noticed my sister wasn't wearing her usual red sweatshirt and was instead in a dark gray t-shirt with blue shaded anime characters and the words Eden of the East on it with Japanese text under the words. I remembered that show, Madeline once watched it with me last time we visited each other, Eden of the East was good but I couldn't help but start laughing at the scene with those white inhuman creatures. I chuckled at the memory.
"Hey Mattie," Madeline whispered keeping her voice from reaching my friend's ears. "Is he from Japan?" she asked gesturing over at Kiku.
I nodded in response. Madeline smiled brightly before walking over to Kiku and tapping him on the shoulder. Once she had his attention she bowed.
"Kon'nichiwa watashinonamaeha maderindesu," she said still blushing when she stood back up straight from her bow.
"Ah. Sono anata ni aete ureshī, watashinonamaeha kikudesu," Kiku replied with a smile.
I lifted an eyebrow at my sister and Gilbert and Tino returned the same puzzled look at Kiku and Madeline.
"W-well I'm in the exchange student program s-so I wanted to try out one my greetings I had t-to learn, d-did you think it was acceptable Kiku?" she stuttered nervously.
"Hai, it was very good," Kiku said.
This made Madeline smile widely with a happy expression.
"Hey Tino is from Finland and Gilbert knows German try your other greetings on them," I suggested.
"Oh um..." Madeline went over to Gilbert pausing to think. "Hallo mein Name ist Madeline."
"Ease up with mein it's supposed to just flow off the tongue like, mein," Gilbert said.
"Oh ok, Hallo mein Name ist Madeline."
"Awesome you got it," Gilbert praised her.
Madeline went over to Tino next and blushed.
"Um... Hei... Hei nimeni on Madeline."
Tino grinned clapping his hands over Madeline's. "That was perfect Maddie, do you know any other languages?" he asked.
"Merde! ont été l'enfer ne le chat aller! Je jure que si il est hors imprégnation le chat des voisins à nouveau je vais devoir lui baiser castrés et stérilisés!" Dad's voice boomed throughout the house echoing in the kitchen with his French.
Madeline and I sighed. I stuck the knife in my hand into the cutting board, Madeline went to go set the table by climbing onto
