Thanks so much for the reviews!

Ken made his way across the room and sat down in his lazy boy chair, looking upon the girls curiously. They hadn’t acknowledge his presence, their eyes glued to the television screen before them. Scratching the back of his head, he began to ponder what he could do to entertain the girls…as the TV seemed to be doing a great job of performing that task.
He pouted, wanting their attention on him. Only problem is…he had no idea what little girls liked except dolls and…and other girly crap! He liked to get dirty…mess with cars and go hunting! What he really wanted to do is play with his new Go-Kart in the garage. He hadn’t the time to test drive it yet…
He suddenly arched a brow wondering if the girls wanted a try at it. He cleared his throat. “Hey!”
Both Amara and Serena snapped their heads towards him and the look they gave him caused him to nearly shrink back. Nervously licking his lip, he sat up in his seat and gave a small smile.
“I was wondering if you wanted to come test this Go-Kart I have.”
Serena furrowed her brows. “What’s that?”
Ken scratched the back of his head. “Well…it’s like a little motor car.”
A grin slowly crept upon Amara’s face as her full attention was drawn to the man before her. “Does it have a steering wheel and gas pedal?!”
“Sure does!” replied Ken with a grin.
“Oh! I want to drive it!” exclaimed Amara in excitement, though she soon furrowed her brows and frowned. “Where is it?”
“In the garage, we can drive it up and down the street in front of the house.”
“Okay!” Amara than chewed upon her bottom lip and turned towards her sister.
“You coming?” Serena slightly tilted her head to the side as if she was pondering over the question. She could tell that her sister really wanted to do this but she didn’t want to go alone. With a silly grin, she nodded her head.
“Yeah! Let’s go.”
“Awesome!” chirped the tomboy as she stood from her seat along with the younger blonde. Ken stood from his seat as well, a grin forming upon his face.
“Alright, let me go tell Elaine what we’re doing and then we can go.” The blondes nodded and Ken made his way into the kitchen.
Serena turned towards Amara with a small smile. “They don’t seem so bad.”
Amara snorted, crossing her arms over her chest. “We’ve been here for like 10 minutes, of course they don’t seem bad.”
Serena frowned. “Don’t be like that.”
“Like what?”
“Thinking that they’re going to be like Daddy.”
Amara narrowed her eyes upon her younger sister. “They could be.”
“Setsuna wouldn’t have sent us here then.”
“What makes you think Setsuna knows everything about them?”
Serena opened her mouth, than silently closed it, shifting her eyes to the floor. “Look…I know what you’re saying but I really don’t think they’re like Daddy. Give them a chance…I really think I’m going to like them…I think I‘m going to like it here.” Serena than cocked a brow. “Isn’t this what we’ve been waiting for?”
Amara pouted, running her fingers through her tussled hair. “I’ll give them a chance…but I’m keeping my guard up.”
Serena grinned. “That’s all I’m asking for.”
--
Ken made his way into the kitchen, spotting his wife chopping up some vegetables on the counter. He quietly entered the room and sauntered his way behind her like a sneaky cat. With out warning he quickly snaked his arms around his oblivious wife and pulled her close to him.
“What are you doing!?”
Elaine jumped startled, whirling around in her husband’s arms with a glare from hell. “KEN! I could have stabbed you!”
Ken chuckled as his wife smacked him across the chest. “I’m sorry…I couldn’t resist.” He suddenly gave a pitiful puppy-dog pout, causing Elaine to roll her eyes. “Am I forgiven?”
“You should be ashamed of yourself.” she muttered, pushing the laughing man away from her to begin chopping the vegetables once again. With a lopsided grin, Ken leaned against the countertop and looked upon at his wife after snatching up a freshly chopped carrot and popping it into his mouth.
“I’m taking the girls outside to ride in the Go-Kart.”
“Make sure they wear their seat belt!” replied Elaine, looking upon her husband sternly.
“Of course Babe.” Ken grinned, pushing himself off the counter. “So what are we doing after we eat?”
“Well I was planning on taking the girls clothes shopping, maybe get some things they can play with and some things to spice up their rooms.”
Ken’s face faulted. “Shopping?! I hate shopping.” He frowned deeply, turning to leave the room. “If you need anything I’ll be out front.” Elaine nodded and Ken stepped out of the kitchen and made his way back in to the living room where the girls were patiently waiting by the door. With a grin, he escorted them out of the door and towards the garage. He typed in a code on a electronic device on the garage and the doors rose open.
He led the girls into the rather spacious room where the bright orange Go-cart sat sitting within all of its glory. The normal Karts he had at the track normally drove at max 15 mph, but this beauty he had sitting right here is able to go 40mph. Ken’s face lit up like a kid on Christmas as he circled around the vehicle and stopped to stand behind it, pushing it out into the drive way.
Amara’s eyes widened as she stared upon the vehicle in a trance like state. She wanted to get behind the wheel of the car, smash the peddle to the metal, feel the wind blowing in her hair…oh yea, she was going to drive the hell out of that thing. Though, what puzzled her about the vehicle was the weird frame around the bottom of it.
“What’s that thing around the car?”
Ken paused in his movements and turned towards Amara. “It’s to protect the car when it’s on the track.”
“Oooh.” murmured Amara, she and Serena following after the car closely. Once the car was out of the garage, Ken made his way to the back of the vehicle and pulled on the draw string to start the engine. When the engine roared to life, Ken grinned, turning towards the girls.
“Who wants to drive first?”
“I do!” exclaimed Amara. Serena shrunk back behind her sister and nudged her forward.
“Yeah, Amara wants to go first.”
Ken chuckled, waving the short haired blonde forward. “Step right up then.”
Amara grinned, quickly making her way to the car and jumped inside. She fastened her seatbelt and had her foot on the gas pedal and her hands gripping the steering wheel before Ken could utter a word. Shrugging his shoulders, Ken squatted down and began to give the child some simple instructions.
“Green pedal is to go, Red is to stop…I assume you know how to steer?” Amara enthusiastically nodded her head so Ken continued. “Don’t stomp on the gas pedal, just slowly easy down on it. Go up the street, then down, then pull up back here. Got it?”
“Got it, can I go?”
Ken stood to his feet and took a step back, looking up and down the normally deserted street. Seeing that the road was clear, he turned back to the impatient child.
“Go!” Amara slammed on the gas petal and shot of down the street like a bolt of lightening.
“Holy…” started Ken as Amara came flying back past them to the other end of the street.
“Shit…!” finished Ken as Amara parked back in front of him with the biggest grin upon her face.
“Oh my God that was so awesome!” she unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out of the car. Ken ran a hand through his hair, a look of shock upon his face.
“She handled that car like a pro.” he whispered, watching the young tomboy make her way over to her sister.
“Your turn Serena!” exclaimed the blonde.
Serena nervously chewed on her bottom lip, staring at the car skeptically. “I don’t know.”
“Aw come on Sere, it’s really cool!” urged Amara.
Ken nodded, snapping out of his earlier stupor. “Give it a try.”
Serena sighed and slowly made her way over to the Go-Kart and jumped inside. Ken helped her place on her seat belt and the small blonde nervously gripped the steering wheel, looking at the road before her. Ken placed a hand on her shoulder and the blonde looked up at him with a meek smile.
“If you want, I can help you steer while you press the gas.”
Serena slowly turned her head towards Ken, chewing on her bottom lip. “Really?”
Ken nodded, reaching forward and firmly taking a hold of the steering wheel. “Take your right foot and lightly press it on the green pedal, if you want to stop, press the red pedal.” Serena nodded, lightly tapping the gas pedal. As soon as the vehicle began to move, Serena automatically hit the break pedal, causing the car to jerk to a stop and Ken nearly tripping over his toes. This action continued for a couple of moments before the small blonde felt comfortable enough to drive at a steady pace.
She grinned, excitedly looking up at Ken. “I think I want to drive by myself.” The brown haired man nodded, releasing the steering wheel. He walked along side with the car as Serena slowly drove, her tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth as she concentrated on the road in front of her. After she finished her turn, Elaine stepped out of the front door.
“Lunch is ready!”
Ken pouted. “But I didn’t get to drive it yet.” he muttered, grabbing the steering wheel and leading the Go-Kart back into the garage; the girls following closely behind him.
“Will I get to drive that again?” question Amara anxiously.
Ken turned towards the child with a grin, turning off the engine with a flick of a switch. “Of course. Being that you two don’t start school till Monday, we can go down to the race track tomorrow.” He began to escorted the girls out of the garage and pressed a button on the electronic device on the outside of the garage, causing it’s doors to close.
Turning to the girls once more, he grinned. “Time to eat!”
--
Amara held back a grin as Ken and Elaine stared upon her sister incredulously. Serena was once again stuffing her face like she’s never eaten before, shoveling down food at an alarming rate. Elaine turned to the short haired blonde, arching a brow.
“Does she always eat like this?”
Amara nodded. “Yep.” she replied, awkwardly taking a bit out of her rice ball. She was still unused to not being able to use her front teeth, but thankfully her new set of teeth were beginning the make their appearance.
Swallowing down her food, Serena looked upon Ken and Elaine curiously. “So…what are we suppose to call you?”
Elaine looked startled for a moment, completely taken aback by the sudden question. How had they forgotten that little bit of information? She smiled, setting her cup of tea down on the table.
“You can call us by our names.”
Elaine stood from her seat as she began to pick up the empty plates from around the table and placed them in the sink. She turned on the water and waited for it to warm up, before lathing up a dish rag and wash began washing the dishes.
Serena turned to Ken curiously as the man stood from his seat as well. “What are we going to do now.”
Ken smiled. “When Elaine’s finished we are going to the mall to get you girls some clothes.”
“Awesome!” exclaimed Serena as Amara rolled her eyes and groan; she really hated shopping. Ken shifted his eyes towards the short haired blonde and smirked; he and Amara may get along better than he expected.
--
Amara held a look of pure horror as Elaine held up a pink skirt and a matching pink blouse. “This is so cute!”
Amara viciously shook her head as Serena giggled. “Nuh uh!”
Elaine pouted. “What do you mean nuh uh?”
“I am not wearing that!” Amara crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from the outfit in utter disgust.
“Besides…pink is ugly.”
“You shut your mouth Amara!” exclaimed Serena.
“Well it’s the truth!” snapped Amara.
“Is not! Yellow is ugly!”
Amara gasped. “You take that back!”
“Never! It is ugly!”
“Is not!”
“Is too!”
“IS NOT!”
“IS TOO!”
“GIRLS!” Both Amara and Serena snapped their head towards Elaine.
“Amara go with Ken and pick out something that you want to wear while I help Serena pick out some clothes.”
Amara slowly turned her head towards Ken as fear slowly welled up inside of her. Yeah, the guy is cool and all…but he was still a guy. He could be plotting…waiting for the moment to get her by herself and hurt her like her Dad.
“I don’t want him to come with me.”
Elaine sighed deeply with a small frown. “Fine, I’ll take you and Ken will help Serena.”
“Okay!” exclaimed Serena, latching a hold of Ken’s hand and tugging him along with her. “I saw this really cute bunny shirt over here!” Ken pouted, but didn’t respond as his wife held back a giggle at her husband‘s demise.
Elaine looked down at the short haired blonde. “Alright Amara, lead the way. The child nodded leading her foster mother towards the boys department of the store. Rummaging through an assortment of clothing, she picked out a pair of baggy blue jeans and a yellow and white stripped polo t-shirt.
The lavender haired woman arched a brow at the nice outfit. “Those are boy clothes Honey.”
“I know that.”
“Well, how about we pick out something from the girls section.”
Amara shook her head. “I don’t like that stuff.”
Elaine ran her fingers through her long tresses. “Why not?”
Amara furrowed her brows, shifting her green eyes onto the clothes she held. “I don’t like how I feel when I wear girl clothes. I feel like me when I wear stuff like this.” she replied, holding up pants and shirt.
Elaine nodded, ruffling the blonde’s hair. “Alright then. Pick out some more outfits, we still have some more stores to go to.” Amara nodded, handing Elaine the shirt and pants and bounded off to find some more clothing.
“I guess I’m going to have to change out her uniform as well.” murmured Elaine as she shuffled the clothing in her arms and followed after the quickly disappearing child.
--
Elaine yawned tiredly as the ending credits of Toy Story rolled across the screen. She lazily ran her fingers through Amara’s hair as the blonde was asleep with her head resting on her lap. She turned towards her husband as he gave off a light snore, his glasses resting on top of his head, his feet propped up on the coffee table; Serena curled up against his side fast a sleep as well, a stuffed white bunny clutched tightly in her arms.
Sitting up in her seat, Elaine reached over and nudged her husband. Ken jerked awake, looking about him wildly, before his eyes rested upon his giggling wife. With a yawn, Ken placed his glasses back in its rightful place, shifting drowsy eyes towards the TV screen.
“Movie over?”
Elaine nodded. “Yes, come on. Let’s get the girls to bed.”
Ken gave a curt nod, sliding out from under Serena, than scooping her up from the couch. Elaine followed in his lead, picking up Amara herself. They both silently made their way to the stairway, climbing up the steps and they both stopped at the first bedroom which happened to be Serena‘s.
“Go tuck Serena in, I got Amara.” Ken nodded as Elaine continued on down the hallway. He stepped into the bedroom and made his way through the dark room. He pulled back the light pink comforter and sheets and gently placed the blonde down on the bed and tucked her in. Before leaving the room, he made sure to flick on the night light Serena had proclaimed she had to have.
Closing the bedroom door behind him, he made his way to Amara’s room, where he spotted his wife tucking in the short haired blonde. Once she was finished, she made her way to her husband and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
“Today went pretty well.” whispered Elaine as she closed the door behind her and her husband.
“I have to agree.” replied Ken as he escorted his wife into their bedroom. The two silently changed into their sleepwear and climbed into their massive king sized bed. They settled comfortably and fell into a peaceful slumber.
--
Amara shot up in her bed as a streak of lightening lit up her bedroom, followed by booming thunder that nearly made the ground shake. Terrified, she jumped out the bed and quickly made her way out of the bedroom. Upon running out of the room, she crashed into some something solid and fell flat on her back completely winded. Rolling over onto her stomach, she spotted her sister doing the same.
“Serena? What are you doing out here?”
Serena rubbed at her eyes as she slowly climbed to her feet. “The thunder woke me up.” She turned and looked at the Tsukino’s bedroom door . “I think I want to go in there with them.”
Amara didn’t respond, only followed after her sister as she made her way towards the room. Serena slowly crept the door open and the duo quietly slipped into the room. They both made their way towards the massive bed.
Standing before the bed, Amara looked up at her sister who had already climbed up on the bed. “You sure about this?”
“I’m not going back in there!” stated Serena as she began to crawl under the blankets between Elaine and Ken. Sighing heavily, Amara climbed up on the bed, climbing under the blankets beside her sister. Once she was comfortable, Serena laid her head on upon her chest, snuggling up against her. The last thing she remembered was hearing Ken’s long drawled out snore before she fell fast asleep.

Closing the bedroom door behind him, he made his way to Amara’s room, where he spotted his wife tucking in the short haired blonde. Once she was finished, she made her way to her husband and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
“Today went pretty well.” whispered Elaine as she closed the door behind her and her husband.
“I have to agree.” replied Ken as he escorted his wife into their bedroom. The two silently changed into their sleepwear and climbed into their massive king sized bed. They settled comfortably and fell into a peaceful slumber.

Amara shot up in her bed as a streak of lightening lit up her bedroom, followed by booming thunder that nearly made the ground shake. Terrified, she jumped out the bed and quickly made her way out of the bedroom. Upon running out of the room, she crashed into some something solid and fell flat on her back completely winded. Rolling over onto her stomach, she spotted her sister doing the same.
“Serena? What are you doing out here?”
Serena rubbed at her eyes as she slowly climbed to her feet. “The thunder woke me up.” She turned and looked at the Tsukino’s bedroom door . “I think I want to go in there with them.”
Amara didn’t respond, only followed after her sister as she made her way towards the room. Serena slowly crept the door open and the duo quietly slipped into the room. They both made their way towards the massive bed.
Standing before the bed, Amara looked up at her sister who had already climbed up on the bed. “You sure about this?”
“I’m not going back in there!” stated Serena as she began to crawl under the blankets between Elaine and Ken. Sighing heavily, Amara climbed up on the bed, climbing under the blankets beside her sister. Once she was comfortable, Serena laid her head on upon her chest, snuggling up against her. The last thing she remembered was hearing Ken’s long drawled out snore before she fell fast asleep.
