Both families dined together again but this time mom cooked because she wanted to thank MJ's family for their support. We were going to spend another night at their home because the kitchen and the bathroom were still out of order.

We talked about what happened today at school and my powers testing (not necessarily in that other) now that everyone was together. Maybe I was overreacting the pink lantern thing, because after I finished describing my powers the dads thought it was cool and wanted a demonstration, so just for fun I made a couple chairs and had the dads sit on them to prove that the chairs were indeed solid. It was pretty funny to watch them poke the chair first and then carefully sit down on them and finally relax. Even funnier was when I made them disappear right after they relaxed and the results were clear, both dads fell butt first onto the ground and all everyone laughed.

"Sorry, I can't still hold them on for long yet." I fibbed, trying to keep a straight face.

The dads didn't believe that because if any of them were in my position they would do the same thing and they should have seen that one coming as the opportunity was too good to pass.

"Mel, I just thought of something." I heard my sister ask.

"What is that?"

"Do you think you could make clothes appear over your body?"

"Probably but I wouldn't for 4 reasons. First I still don't have much control over my powers or how long I keep a construct going and I could end up naked at a very bad time. Second every thing I wear that way would be pink. Third it takes energy to keep them going and to keep wearing clothes made by my powers would be tiring and fourth, did I mention they would be pink? Still it would be a good thing to do in an emergency, even though they would be pink."

"Do you really hate pink that much?" She asked me.

I shrugged. "Honestly? Not really. The thing is that I spent my entire life being drilled by others that pink is for girls or gays so to complain about it became some sort of thing to do."

"So you don't need to keep complaining about it anymore." MJ said.

"Maybe someday, right now I'm still angry about it, I mean it IS too much pink as I don't have any choice. I am surrounded by pink 24/7 for gawds sake. Just let me complain about it a bit longer."

After dinner I went to help the women with the dishes and thought it was a good time to practice my powers a little bit. Remembering the floating hand picking up my sister's toothbrush last night, I tried to do the same for the dishes and discovered something new about my powers. A pair of hands needed almost no concentration at all as I just needed to guide them, 2 pair of hands needed a lot more attention but wasn't so bad. Maybe they have some autonomy because they were actually magical illusions instead of pure TK constructs?

The moms were impressed and mom said that from now on the dishes would be my responsibility.

"Hey, that's not fair. Why do I have to do the dishes from now on?" I complained.

"Because you are the only one that can do it without ruining your hands." She said.

Oh well, it will be only until I go to Whateley anyway. Thankfully I didn't try to vacuum the house using my powers.

The dads were talking to each other and watching ESPN when we got to the living room and we sat down to discuss what we would do tomorrow. Dad thought it would be best if I didn't go to school tomorrow and go with him to the police station with him instead during the morning.

"The police station? Why?" I asked him.

"Because this way we can get one of Matt's police friends to get your statement about what happened yesterday and we can call the MCO clear up things with them and get your temporary MID issued where we can have people to protect you and not allow you to be taken into their custody for 'evaluation.'"

"So you think I'll be safe?"

"It will." Said MJ's father. "My friend will be there with you, and he is one of our police department few mutants in it's payroll, so you coukd say he isn't very fond of the MCO there either."

"What does he do?"

"He is one of our best interrogators due to his receptive empathy."

"I didn't know there were mutants in the police force."

"That's because almost every one of them keep a low profile as they usually have weak powers. The flashy ones end up in super groups with no direct affiliation with the police forces."

"I wonder why didn't have trouble with the MCO yet." My sister said.

"Maybe because we aren't at home?" My mom asked.

"Probably, considered they went to the kids school today." MJ's mom answered.

"Good thing we are going to the station tomorrow morning then." Dad added.

"Dad, there is somewhere else I need to go tomorrow after we leave the police station. Could you take me there?"

"Where do you need to go?"

"I need to give Sue some closure. We are going to see her mother. She lives in a nursing home a couple miles from here."

"Why would you do that?" Dad asked.

"Because it is something I have to do. Her mother never got over her daughter's death and she needs closure. She needs to know her daughters is okay now, also we are stuck together and she wants the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother and I want to do this for her. It will give her peace and with that it will give me peace." I told him and gave him the puppy eyes. Darn, did I just do that?

He looked at me silently for a few seconds, shook his head and said: "Ok pumpkin, I don't think its a good idea but if you feel like you need to do this then I'll take you there."

Pumpkin? Did dad just call me pumpkin? He only calls my sister pumpkin and only after she gives him the puppy eyes. Don't tell me it actually worked. I looked at my sister and she was smiling with a proud look in her eyes. Damn, did I just added another nail to my manhood's coffin?

'You did well my young apprentice. Welcome to the pink side of the force.'

'So are you.'

The rest of the evening was pretty calm and soon we were getting ready to sleep. Yep, I was going to sleep on the couch again. I guess they are not ready to let me share the room with MJ. Heck I'm not sure I am ready for that either.

I went to the downstairs restroom, brushed my teeth and changed into my new pajamas, yes the Hello Kitty one Somehow it was the only thing I had to wear for sleep tonight, because it was the only pajamas I bought and my old stuff doesn't fit me comfortably anymore. Well... actually I had to choose between the pajamas and a pink semi transparent nightie, and that I had no idea how it ended up among my purchases, so I wore the pajamas.

When I got out, MJ was waiting for me and when she saw me she gave me a bear hug and kissed passionately. I was the average toe curling kiss that made me feel aroused in a way I never felt before, maybe because I had another plumbing arrangement than I had 24 hours ago. I’m not saying that in a bad way, just different, okay?

Anyway, after that toe curling kiss that seemed to have lasted for not long enough at all, we parted our lips, she smiled at me, said goodnight and walked away.

Now what? She comes here, get me all hot and bothered and just walk away. I have no idea how to deal with that just yet. Well... I have an idea but I’m so not ready to think about taking the matter into my own hands so to speak, darn.
