*TRICK'D' UP!*

*THREE*

Criss made it back to the house just in time...Klayton pulled up right as Criss hopped out of his car...Chicklet was barking ferociously like she really wanted to tear him up...but as soon as Criss opened the gate Chicklet raced up to Klayton and jumped into his arms and licked him to death...Klayton gave her a few rough pets, and told her to cool her shit, that he knew all ladies were wild for him...and her flattery would get her everywhere with him...then he tossed his sunglasses in the car and put Criss in a bear hug and asked what was eating his little brother so badly, that he needed to call him for immediate help.

Criss told Klayton the full story, and ended up telling him that he just wasn't ready to pack it in yet...but he needed something different to do...something more fun, and exciting...with live audiences...not television shows...Klayton thought about it for about twenty minutes then gave Criss a very wild grin, and said...ROADTRIP!! That's what he needed to do...create a new RV with a new paint scheme, and with a new incredible name instead of Mindfreak...and take his magic on the road...but not just to the other big cities...Criss looked at him and said where then...Klayton chuckled and said every state in the U.S. That by doing it...it would show all of his fans how much he loved them all...by visiting each state...and performing all kinds of different magic for them...for the young, old, rich, and poor...alike.

Criss looked at Klayton for several minutes...then told him that it was the greatest idea ever!! Then he jumped up and told his old friend that Criss Angel wasn't gone yet!!...and that this tour was going to be the wildest, and craziest shit ever!! Then Criss jumped in Klayton's lap and kissed him and thanked him for his help...Klayton chuckled at him and said what were smart older brothers for...other than picking on him. Chicklet was sound asleep under Klayton's feet, when he silently slid out from around her...and asked Criss where his nephew was...Criss smacked his shoulder playfully and told him Johnny was at his gramma's house...Klayton raced for the front door and told Criss the last one to the car was dirty dishwater...Criss hated Klayton when he did shit like that...but he cheated and magically placed himself in Klayton's car and stuck his head out of the car and told his dirty dishwater friend to hurry his ass up and take him to his mom's house.

Klayton snorted at him, then as he hopped in the driver's seat and swiped his sunglasses off Criss's face...and told him he hated it when he cheated like that...then he drove to Dimitra's house in an irritated pout...until he ran into the house and hollered for his nephew...Johnny was sound asleep in his bean bag chair...but was up and running thru the house at Klayton's voice...screeching all the way thru the house...for his Uncie Kwayton. Klayton scooped him up and held him upside down and told him playfully that there was no way this was his nephew...that his nephew was a little boy...and not a big one...but Johnny giggled out that he was to his nephew...Klayton turned him right side up and had him dangling from his shoulders...while Johnny was squeezing his neck with a death grip so no one could pull him off his uncle.

Criss snickered at his little boy's reactions to Klayton...but just to show Klayton that daddy was #1 Criss put on a sad face and acted sadly...Johnny saw his daddy sad, and slid down Klayton's back...and ran to his daddy's arms and gave him a big hug and kiss...Criss stood up with him and hugged him back and told him that he was happy now...then told him it was alright to go see his uncle Klayton...Klayton just playfully stuck his tongue out at Criss, and said he didn't have any wants to be Johnny's favorite...just one of the many favorites that he had...then turned his ass to Criss and walked over to Johnny's bean bag chair and plopped in it with Johnny...and began to play video games with him...for video games was one thing even Costa couldn't beat Klayton in...he was the master of all gamer's.

As Johnny was keeping the big kid entertained...Criss was telling his family what idea Klayton gave him about going on tour thru every state...and performing magic for everyone that wanted to come and watch...with only having free donations as payments...then Criss showed them some ideas of the RV colors and asked what they thought about a new name for this touring live show...Jd, Costa, Dimitra, and the two kids Johnny and Klayton all scratched their heads in the thought of the perfect name for the RV and the tour. Several hours went by and none of them had any bright ideas...it was getting late, and Johnny wanted Klayton to tuck him in this time...so after Criss gave him a goodnight hug and kiss...Klayton passed him to his other uncles...then to his gramma...and took him up to his room and tucked him in and handed him his stuffed Believe Bunny...and sang him a part of one of his scandroid songs...and watched as his nephew went to sleep.

Criss was sitting alone at the kitchen table...beens Costa went home to his fiance...and JD went home to his wife Lynn, and their daughter Dimi...Dimitra came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea and kissed Criss and Klayton both on the forehead...and told them goodnight...just like she used too when they stayed up late...working on his performances at his New York club he had...he looked at Klayton and told him he couldn't believe how long ago that was...and that he really was missing it...and his old self...Criss looked up at his buddy and asked him if he thought he really outlived his usefulness to the wonderful art that he did so passionately all these years...Klayton put his arm around Criss's neck, and kissed him on the cheek, and told him hell no!...that he still had so much to give and offer to all his fans...and that they'd be heartbroken if their hero left them all hangin'...Criss smiled at him and thanked him...then as he got up and was getting ready to take them both back to Serenity...to sleep...beens his mom's house was too small...they got to Klayton's car...and a spark hit him like a lightning bolt looked at Klayton and said the name of his traveling tour was going to be called...TRICK'D' UP!!
