Art coming soon!

(Rachel's POV)

I was cleaning the dining table from lunch.

I'm glad Rory's getting along with Ira, finally.

I heard the front door open, and laughter spilling into the room.

Shoot! They don't know who Ira is!

Rory had managed to get Ira to play with him in his room, so I can explain some of it.

"Rachel! Sorry we're late!" Raquel (I'm aware that's Rory's Japanese name) said.

"What were you doing?" I ask in a suspicious tone.

"Nothing bad!" Raymond cried in defense.

"How should I know?" I teased.

How have we known each other our entire lives, yet they can't tell when I'm teasing?

"Because... Ryan was the one dragging us around this time!" Raymond said, obviously lying.

"Ryan?" I asked.

"Yep!" Raymond said nervously.

"You mean Ryan, the Emo, fun-hating, gay kid who wants nothing to do with anybody ever?" I crossed my arms.

"I... see how this looks..." Raymond laughed, scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah. Let me ask again. What. Were you. Doing?" I demand.

"Well, we would have gotten away with more ice cream if Raquel hadn't called your friends over to hang out with us!" Raymond said angrily this time. 

"Ice cream? Mom's not gunna be happy to hear that.." I tease.

"Don't!.. tell her.." Raymond cried, "Please.."

"Fine. Only if you don't tell her about the friend I have over." I bargained, "Because, I swear, it's not what it looks like."

"Why? Your friend's a guy?" Raymond asked.

"..Maybe.." I admit.

"Ah, well, you better watch out for Ryan. He might steal your man from you." Raquel said in his comical tone.

"How rude of you to assume my friend was a man, he's merely a boy." I say in offense.

"That's a pe—"

"Stop it!" Raymond shoved Raquel in the arm.

"Jeez, what?" Raquel asked, running his arm.

"You have more brothers?" Ira asked, coming down the stairs with Rory.

Rory ran down the steps and immediately hugged Ryan.

I swear, those two automatically became best friends.

"Why didn't you guys take me with you?" Rory groaned, then started laughing as Ryan put Rory on his shoulders.

"Maybe next time, sorry.." Raymond said in a regretful tone.

"Uhm, yeah. Ira these are the other three quarters in my quadruplet." I explained, "Ryan's the emo kid giving Rory a piggyback ride, Raquel the fancy clothes lover with the comical tone, and Raymond's the one you're gunna get along with most, I assume."
