Don't Mess With Time

Chapter Two

"I'm here! I'm here!" calls an annoyingly chipper voice.

Hester groans and rolled her eyes as Kiko runs up to join them.

Anadil snickered, hand still holding Hester's own.

Dot beams and turns around to look at the Evergirl.

Kiko had matured, but she still seemed as youthful and excitable as ever as she threw her arms around Dot in a hug, encompassing Dede as well.

"I missed you!" Kiko said happily.

"You've been gone for two hours," Anadil said levelly.

"Not nearly long enough," Hester added.

The two witches laughed and Dot would have turned around to go on one of her rare tirades, but Kiko was pulling something from behind her back.

She held out a rose.

"I saw this in the market and it made me think of you," Kiko said excitedly.

Dot grinned broadly and watched Kiko put it right behind her ear.

Dede looked at her two mothers with a grin while Hester, Anadil, Hilda, and Amber all gagged at the romantic gesture.

"Keep laughing and I'll turn all the spoons into chocolate again," Dot said before leaning in to kiss her wife.

"I knew you did something to the spoons!" Hester growled, demon twitching irritably.

Kiko giggled at Dot's threat while Anadil gripped Hester's hand tighter to keep her from doing anything to the happy couple.

Dot and Kiko had been married for a little over fourteen years now, but the two still seemed to be in the honeymoon phase.

They hardly ever fought and Kiko found some way to be romantic with Dot everyday.

Hester and Anadil also found a way to be disgusted with their best friend and her wife everyday.

Dot often claimed that, since Hester and Anadil were to mean, they should just move out.

It was about that time when Hester and Anadil swallowed their pride and apologized.

Dot had gotten better at making those two admit they cared for her over the years and couldn't be happier about it.

Kiko grabbed Dot's hand and the two walked behind Hester and Anadil.

The three girls had scampered off and were planning something mischievous... well, they couldn't be sure it was something bad, but knowing who the twins' parents were it was quite obvious what they were likely to do.

Tedros heard a knock on the door and raised an eyebrow. Most of their friends were more likely to barge in than to knock.

That meant it had to be...

"Come in, Kiko," he said with a smile.

The small woman poked a head in and grinned at him.

Tedros rolled his eyes as Hester shoved the door open behind Kiko and stormed in, Anadil at her side.

Hester's daughters exchanged grins before Hilda grabbed onto Dede and the three raced from the room.

Tedros shook his head sufferingly.

They were most likely going to go and mess with his kids...

Hester and Anadil's kids seemed to like his daughter just as much as Hester and Anadil liked him when they were that age.
