"Oh God they're at it again," Tye said, entering the now shared room. "I swear they can't go an hour without getting all giggly and gooey-eyed."

"So, any idea what time we're moving?" Ed asked, pencil in hand.

"Tomorrow at 8 AM. We need to have everything that can be in boxes in boxes by then. Which will be pretty easy for you and Asami, given all your stuff hasn't flown in yet and Asami wants nothing to do with her family back home," Tye said, sitting down on the bed that he had been sharing with Ed. Weeks on the road together had made this arrangement a lot more comfortable than it normally would be.

"Finally. No offense, but your house is a bit small for all of us," Ed said, staring at the stained ceiling.

"I got that when Asami had to sleep in a spare sleeping bag on the floor. Good news is that Jaime and Virgil will be helping us move, unless there's a crisis, and with our powers it should be relatively painless."

"Good, because with those two staring at each other I think I'll be sick to my stomach," Ed said.

"So it's finally happening," Tye said, looking out his window.

"Uh, yeah, you told me."

"No- I mean, in a week there's the wedding, and we'll officially be brothers."

Ed stood up and placed a hand on Tye's shoulder. "You know what 'hermano' means, right?"

"Yeah, Jaime told me- brother."

"So you know that you've been my brother for a while already, right?"

Tye smiled. "Yeah, I know. But this way it will be official. We'll be living in the same house. Asami will be with us too- although we both know I don't see her as a sister- and we're even going to a new house."

Ed leaned forward and had a lazy smile on his face. "Hey, we knew when running away that everything would be different. Just not how much. And the funny thing is we got everything we wanted by running away."

There was a knocking on the door. "Can we come in?" Shelly asked, and Tye and Ed shouted their assent.

Shelly, Dr. Dorado, and Asami entered. "Cake!" Asami said, holding out a decently-sized, round ice cream cake. "Before the move," Asami explained, smiling.

Asami placed it on Tye's desk, and Dr. Dorado took out a kitchen knife and carved it up. Shelly handed out paper plates. "We figured that since everyone has been worried about the move, we should get a treat before all the hard work tomorrow."

"Besides, ice cream cake happens to be one of Shelly's weaknesses," Dr. Dorado exclaimed, holding up a plastic fork.

"One of my weaknesses? I remember you insisting that it was ice cream cake instead of any other kind," Shelly retorted.

"Ah, but your weaknesses are my weaknesses," Dr. Dorado said, taking a chunk of cake on his fork and holding it out for Shelly to eat.

The teenagers just shook their heads at the gooeyness, and Tye whispered to Ed, "As my brother, you are allowed to tell me and Asami to get a room if we ever act like that."

"As your brother, I think I will require that you and Asami share a room," Ed whispered back.
