Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ash was a little shock by what Sangcun had called him " Yea it is. This may help your mother with raising your new siblings. He now has a little bit more of an understanding of raising cubs."

It was quiet where Vemon and Chazz were. Either of them had said a word.

Ash said " Yes I'm enjoying the party and no i don't have any intentions on burning this place down." He knew that Lily was most likely watching his every move. She knew how he and Iori could behave around each other.

Ash looked over at Sangcun then turned his attention to Lily. She was the one in truth that had turned him into a housepet. She had warned him many of times that if he messed up, he made have to deal with her. He sighed and just walked away from Iori.

Ash whispered " No cause then all the little kids will be mad at you for hurting santa. That's one reason why i didn't hit him. The other reason has to do with Lily. But I'm sure someone will get Iori."

Sangcun kind of frowned, but knew that Ash was right. She hugged him then asked, "You wanting to sign up for the 2010 tournament? I want to see how well I can do in it. Its a lot fairer than in previous years. There's also the World's Martial Arts tournament, though that one tends to be more for kids these days though adults compete. The so-called Champion is Hercule and everyone knows he's the worlds biggest chicken. He isn't much of a fighter, but he talks big. His bark is worse than his bite so to speak. I have moves, but I just prefer not to use them unless its for sport."

Sangcun giggled. She said, "Yeah, she's awake. Didn't you see her and Chazz come downstairs for dinner? They're sitting with Lily, Soiree, and Alba. Oh, and before we suggest I train, maybe once Christmas is over with, I can show you my moves in the training chamber here so you know what I can do, okay?"

Sangcun looked to Trunks then and was noticing that he was finally eating. She said, "I know what you mean. Like I had never seen my mom act like that before, but what Dad said was true. Mom was only 8 years old when he had me and my brother. Rumor has it that mom will soon give birth to another set of twins soon too. I kind of want Christmas to be over and done with so I can get on to showing you what I can do, but... that's only wishful thinking."

She blushed then knowing that she was falling for Ash worse than how Chazz fell for Vemon.

As Trunks was eating, he was watching both Chazz and Sangcun. He was more interested in the relationship that Sangcun had with Ash Crimson. He wondered what a man like Ash saw in Sangcun. Then again, knowing Sang, Trunks figured that it was likely something she offered Ash and he couldn't refuse. Add that with the separating the third gem so she could save him from a fate worse than death. That would have done it for Trunks if someone would have done that for him.

As the Christmas celebration wore on, once the meal was done and over with, Dee then announced, "All right, I think we should hear the next part to Cindy's adventure of her and Jon. Who agrees with me?"

Sort of whining, Chazz said, "Aww, granny, what is there left to tell of that story? We all know that Jon was a jerk to Cindy plain and simple."

Cindy looked to Chazz stunned. She said, "But, Chazz, there are plenty of lessons to learn from this. Not just to stay away from drugs and never to go with someone that your heart is trying to give the stop sign of danger."

Sangcun punched Chazz in the shoulder with a frown, then she said, "Well, I am interested. What other lessons can we learn from your relationship with Jon?"

Cindy then said, "Well, one of them is how to read the signs of a perverted idiot. I can assure you that Chazz is no pervert. Though when just a baby Chazz seemed like that he wasn't. There is a big difference to what Chazz was doing and to what Jon did to Terry."

Now Trunks was alerted too. Cindy went on. She said, "Now, after Jon got out of prison for raping me the first time and after Terry was born in March of 1971, and the plan had been set in motion for Geese and Billy to murder Jeff Bogard in the near future on Jon's orders no less, the first thing Jon did was head straight to my house. It was late at night and I had just put Terry to bed. Terry was always good for that. He was always considerate and understanding. Well, I had heard that Jon had gotten out of prison for good behavior. I thought that was odd, but paid it no real serious attention."

Chazz growled then said, "Just get to the point!"

Trunks gave a warning glare to his son about being respectful. Cindy just giggled. She then said, "Okay. Let me get to that. I had let Jon in believing his words. That was a foolish mistake. He didn't seem to have aged from the last time I saw him, and I figured that Jon hadn't seen his son yet, regardless of the circumstances that Terry was born under. The reason why I let Jon in. The first thing Jon did was lure me into the bedroom and make love to me. Unlike the first time, it wasn't forced, so it wasn't rape. It was however, adultry because of Jon's age compared to mine. Jon is old enough to be my father, but isn't."

Sangcun said, "It sounds like you had been a victim yet again."

Cindy chuckled, "Perhaps I was Sangcun, but I couldn't just abandon Jon since he was willing to be somewhat responsible for Terry. In those days, if a man had a kid, if he raised the child somehow, then he was considered responsible. Those laws had changed since then. Not by much, but they did. You see, Sangcun, your relationship with Ash would be considered something similar to what Jon's and mine was, except that in Ash's case, he needs a mate in order to revive a nearly extinct race, which makes it okay for you to love him."

This put a shocker into some. Trunks looked to Ash for some sort of a response to that. From what he saw, Ash had sat down beside Sangcun, his knees tucked into his chest ready to hear a story, just as a child would. Something that Trunks didn't expect.
