Cas listened to him and smiled.

"Nice analogy Ivan, but I am done. Unless the right ribcage falls into my lap. I can't keep putting myself through this, I am getting to old to keep looking."

She let him wrap around her and pull her closer. She knew he would understand.

[Guest]

He did understand. And there was a big part of him that wanted to lay down in her lap at that moment. But he chose a slightly different route instead. "Who you callin' old youngin'?" He laughed as e squeezed her shoulders. He was only a few years older than her, but still.

[Casandra Lightheart]

"I'm calling you old."

She laughed as he squeezed her shoulder.

"Thanks for listening, I needed it."

[Guest]

He laughed as he hugged her close. "And don't you forget it." He kissed her temple yet again. "Any time sweety, any time." He took another swig of his Kool-Aid and grinned. "So what time do you pick up the Smurf and Smurfette?" He grinned knowing she would probably tell on him for that ad he could expect a sneak attack from the kids for it.

[Casandra Lightheart]

She looked at him confused. She had no idea what a smurf and smurfette were.

"I assume you are speaking of the twins, they have been riding their new horses to school. They should be back any time.

Ok she had to ask.

"What are a smurf and smurfette?"

And like clockwork here the twins came in.

DJ looked at his mom.

"It was an earth cartoon about little creatures that were blue and about three apples high."

Natalie looked at her mom.

"Why would you ask that?"

Cas laughed.

"Ask Ivan."

Both twins looked at him and chimed in at the same time.

"Mr. Ivan?"

[Guest]

Busted. Yep, he was totally and completely busted. After all, what was he going to do, lie to kids? Come on now, that would be like telling someone there's no such thing as Santa Clause, and everyone knew Santa was real, right? In for a pinch,in for a pound. And he had a feeling he was about to get pounded. So as he scooted a little bit away from Cas to keep her out of the line of fire. "Ahh, look, there's Handy and Smurfette now. Or did you two turn into Brainy and Sassette when I wasn't looking?" Yep, a pounding.

[Casandra Lightheart]

Ok Cas was completely confused but the look on the twins face was one of insulted amusement.

"Sassette?"

"Brainy?"

The twins dropped their books and ran at Ivan jumping on him.

Kjay was up again now and helping the twins. He pounced on Ivan too.

Cas still not sure what was going on made a mental note to watch the smurfs. Right now she couldn't help but laugh. She didn't pounce him too but she did reach around and begin tickling the twins.

[Guest]

Ivan made mental note to borrow Tasha's DVD's. She had every episode ever made from the pilot to the series finale. He was going to have to introduce Casie to the little blue men. In the mean time, he was getting pounced. Three fold. "Hey, no fair, no fair. Three on one. Cheaters." He wrapped one arm around one wiggling kid who was getting tickled and then wrapped the other arm around the other wiggling kid who was getting tickled. Then he stood up.

In his best Gargamel voice he cackled. "I've got you now my little blue delicacies." He started to carry the kids to the kitchen like he was going to throw them in the soup pot. He knew that Kjay would be right on his heels after he had been moved back to the floor by Ivan's standing up. "Come Azriel. Dinner will be served shortly." He laughed again and even did the cough that Gargamel sometimes did after he would attempt an evil cackle.

[Casandra Lightheart]

Cas had to stop tickling the twins as Ivan picked them up and began to carry them to the kitchen. She followed behind Kjay who was prancing along behind Ivan.

"Delicacies?"

The twins were laughing.

"Mom he's going to try to cook us."

Cas started laughing as she heard him call Kjay Azriel.

Kjay was licking his chops as Ivan said dinner would be ready soon.

[Guest]

Ivan could barely contain his laughter. He sat the kids down on the counter. "Not don't you move my tiny little morsels." He opened a cabinet under the counter. "I just need my big pot." He made some noise as he pretended to look in the cabinet for the pan.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The twins ran and hid behind Cas.

Kjay began barking as if to warn Ivan that the twins had moved.

Cas motioned for the twins to duck behind the couch witch they quickly did.

[Guest]

Ivan heard the barking and pretended to hit his head as he looked up from the cabinet. "Azriel, catch them, their getting away." He laughed as he pretended to give chase. "There goes our dinner again." He laughed. He was having so much fun. But Heaven help anyone who's room was below Casie's with all the running around and wrestling that had been going on.

[Casandra Lightheart]

Kjay chased the twins back behind the couch. He began barking and bounching.

Cas was just turning from one spot to the next taking it all in. She was laughing so hard her sides hurt.

[Guest]

Ivan started laughing. How could he resist, it was so cute the way Kjay was playing along like he knew what was going on. "Alright, alright, I give, the Smurfs always get away anyway, and I'm getting too old for this." He played like he was a crotchety old man and went to sit down on the couch.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The twins began lauging at Ivan and went to retrieve the books they had droped on the floor they put them away and thenwent and sat down in chairs.

Cas sat back down on the couch.

"Did you come to see mom Mr. Ivan."

Kjay layed back down by Cas' feet.

Natalie looked around the room.

"Look DJ mommie got the pictures up."

DJ took a look at what Nat was talking about.

"Cool."

[Guest]

Ivan chuckled. "Yes, she dragged me over here kicking and screaming, threatening to beat me if I didn't hang those pictures up. So what do you guys want for dinner tonight. I'll send a text to Uncle Manny in the kitchen to place your order." He pulled his cell out of his pocket and flipped it open to send a text.

[Casandra Lightheart]

DJ laughed.

"Somehow I doubt mom could drag you anywhere."

Nat was just grinning from ear to ear.

"I want pizza."

Nat nodded.

"Yes Pizza."

[Guest]

Ivan started typing into his phone. 'Manny, the kids want Pizza for dinner, could you tell Armandeus please?' And then he hit send. "Ok guys, dinner's ordered. Cas, do you want something else, or is Pizza ok with you too? And she did too drag me, she twisted my arm and pinched my ear." He would ask for something else for her if she wanted. But because the kids ordered Pizza then just about everyone else would have Pizza for dinner too. Except for those who don't like it. He winked at them about the dragging.

[Casandra Lightheart]

"Pizza is fine."

She was all smiles, she was going to have to learn to use a cell; first she had to get one.

She smiled as DJ looked at Ivan.

"Ivan if she dragged you you wanted it."

Cas and Nat both started laughing again.

[Guest]

Ivan laughed. "Maybe." He looked over at Nat and Cas. "And what are you two laughing about?" Tickle attack. He got Casie first as she was sitting by him on the couch.

[Casandra Lightheart]

Cas began laughing even harder and squrirming trying to get away from him.

"Hey now no fair your not ticklesh."

She got a rest when he stood and went over to Nat tickling her as well.

Dj just shook his head.

"I knew it Mr.Ivan, my mom can't twist your arm."

Nat was squealing with laughter.

[Guest]

Ivan was laughing as he tickled Nat. "I bet you she can." Said in response to DJ. Then when he figured Nat'd had enough he turned and began to stalk DJ with his hands looking like claws. He wiggled his fingers to warn DJ of what was coming.

[Casandra Lightheart]

Nat was catching her breath while she watched Ivan stalk her brother.

"Won't work Mr Ivan."

DJ's face looked like he was trying to concentrate.

"Do your worst."

When Ivan began tickling him he just looked at him with a blank face.

[Guest]

Ivan was trying to tickle DJ and it wasn't working. So Ivan reached down and grabbed DJ's ankle and ripped his shoe from his foot. Then he started to tickle his foot. "You've got to be ticklish somewhere." He even tried behind the knees while he had his leg.

[Casandra Lightheart]

DJ was ticklish everywhere but if he knew it was coming he could make himself not laugh; but only for a short while. She started to crack a smile when Ivan tickled his foot and when he tickled behind his knee he lost it and started laughing.

"UNCLE!!!"

He hated to be tickled.
