ok, I have the next chapter written, Yay! I tried to post it last night, but my mom caught me and told me to go to bed...Anyway, here it is! And this one is really, really, looooonnng, at least by my standards. Consider it your late Christmas present. ^_^
Chapter 3: The Attic's Memories
Carl and Kevin were setting napkins on the clear glass table when Elkie came into the dining room. She wore a lush green jumpsuit, accented by a lighter green belt. As she sat down in a chair, Charles appeared beside Carl, who jumped with surprise.
"Whoa, Charles. You gotta stop doing that, man. Being scared gives me hives." Charles gave a small holographic smile.
"I'm sorry sir, but it is rather easy to startle you. Shall I take over for you?" He picked up a stack of plates and set the rest of the table. Carl sat down beside Elkie, and Kevin stood in front of his plate. Charles snapped his fingers and through the door zoomed a hovering serving tray piled with eggs, bacon, and toast. It hovered above the table and landed gracefully in the center.
"Breakfast is served." Charles said. "And for you, Master Kevin?" The llama pondered a moment and said, "I'll just have the usual, Charles." The butler snapped his fingers again and instantly, Charles plate was piled high with fresh cut grass.
"Will you be needing anything else, sir?" Charles said, putting his hands behind his back.
"No, that's ok. Thanks, Charles." Carl said. Charles nodded, and giving Elkie a knowing look, he disappeared. Elkie shamefully looked down at her plate, and nervously played with her food.
"So what's this 'something' you want me to help you with today?" Carl said with a mouthful of egg.
Kevin quickly chewed and swallowed his bite and said, "Oh, me and some of the others are volunteering today at the Salvation Army, and we thought it'd be nice if we showed up with some old stuff for them. If it's not too much, I'd like you to go through the attic and pick out stuff you don't need, so we can bring it."
Carl noisily put his fork down and laid back contentedly in his chair. "Oh, that was good." he said, rubbing his stomach. Turning his lazy eyes to the llama, he said, "I can do that. And now that Elkie's better, she can help too." He leaned over and kissed Elkie on the cheek. "Right honey?"
She quickly pulled up her head to look at her husband, putting on a convincing smile as she did so. "Yes, I would love to help." she said. She continued smiling until Carl turned back to Kevin, and then she relaxed her lips.
Kevin smiled, pushing back his plate with his nose. "Let's get started then." They all got up from the table and followed Kevin out the door. Elkie paused as Charles popped up beside her, to clean the table. He gave a small smile, and then started to clean. Elkie hurried to catch up to the boys, and thought as she walked, "I am not going to let myself worry. I will find a good time to tell him."
They went into the living room, where two more llamas stood in front of the TV, playing a video game, using their front hooves to use the controllers on the coffee table. The llamas were smaller than Kevin, and one of them had a red baseball cap on.
"Jusin, Kayla. Are you guys going to play that all day?" Kevin said. The llama with the baseball cap paused the game and turned his head to face Kevin.
"But dad, we've almost beat it!" The other llama, Kayla, galloped up to her father, her eyes shining with innocent excitement.
"Daddy! Daddy! I got a better score than Justing on the last level!" Justin humphed and looked away. "Beginner's luck." he murmured. Kevin smiled down at his kids.
"Why don't you guys get some fresh air, and play outside?" he said, nuzzling Kayla's nose.
"Ok, daddy!" Kayla skipped out the door. Justin turned off the game and walked slowly out, saying," Oh, all right." Kevin turned to Carl and Elkie.
"Kids." he said. "What are ya going to do?"
They walked upstairs and stopped at the end of a hallway. Carl, looking up at the ceiling, pressed a button that was on the wall. Suddenly, a panel in the ceiling slowly lowered until it sat on the floor. Through the hole in the ceiling stacks of boxes could be seen.
"So me and Elkie will go up, and we'll lower stuff down to ya, ok Kev?" Carl said.
"Sounds good to me."
Carl and Elkie stood on the panel on the floor and Carl pressed the button again, saying, "All aboard!" Elkie laughed and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Do you have to be doing that every time we go up to the attic?" she said as they rose up into the hole in the ceiling. Carl just smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
In the attic, automatic lights illuminated stacks of dust covered boxes and piles of unknown objects. Carl walked to a stack and pulled the lid off a box.
"Ooh, look! It's some of my old stuff!" he said. Rummaging, he pulled out a battered stuffed llama. "It's my Larry the Llama doll!" He hugged it, twisting back and forth lovingly. Elkie giggled, smirking at him.
Carl caught sight of her looking at him. He cleared his throat, quickly putting the doll back in the box.
"I guess we can get rid of this stuff." he said, lifting the box up and placing it onto the floor on the lowering panel. Elkie giggled again, and turned to go through a stack of boxes, only to notice a manikin standing in the corner, a beautiful white gown covering its metal frame.
"Oh, Carl! Come and look! It is my wedding dress!" Elkie said as she took the manikin out of the corner and set it beside her.
"You were so very handsome that day." she said, stroking the silky gown. Carl laughed. "Yeah, maybe. But I was also very nervous."
Carl stood in front of a standing mirror, nervously straightening the bow tie on his new tux. He turned to the door as someone entered.
"Carl, come on man. You're going to miss your own wedding." Jimmy said, striding towards him. Carl reached for Jimmy's shoulders and violently shook him.
"I can't do it, Jim! I just can't! It's too soon!" He let Jimmy go and started wringing his hands.
"Jimmy put a friendly hand on Carl's shaking shoulder. "Carl," he said, smiling. "You and Elkie have been dating practically from the time you started being pen pals. I think it's just the right time. I mean, you're the last of the gang to get married. I'm married to Cindy, and Sheen and Libby have been married for seven years already. Now it's your turn Carl." Carl looked up at Jimmy.
"But what if I can't make her happy?" Jimmy laughed, shaking his head.
"Come on, don't try to pull that one on me. You're on your way to becoming the greatest llama breeder in the world. Elkie, of all people, would be proud of that." Carl slowly smiled.
"Do ya really think I can do it?" he said.
"I know so." Jimmy replied. "Now come on. I can't be the best man if you're not there."
When Elkie walked down the aisle, everything else just slipped away. Carl barely noticed Jimmy standing beside him, and when it came time to lift up her veil, he almost got lost staring into her emerald green eyes.
"You may kiss the bride." the elderly priest said. Elkie smiled, and they kissed, more passionately than ever before.
Elkie sighed. "I know this is, how you say, cleshe, but that was the happiest day of my life." She stroked the fabric of the gown on last time, and then put it beside Carl's box.
"But I do not need it more." she said, kissing Carl on the cheek.

Way to go Writer Woman! Good chapter!
-I want to see those Love Letters though, which I think are coming.
Hee-hee, I thought it funny how you started that chapter. You meant to post it earlier but your mom caught you and sent you to bed.
-Oops!
-Maybe you can sneak a laptop under the covers.
Cya!

no, can't do that, cause me and my sis got a new computer for Chrismas, but the catch is that it's in the hallway, so we can't just sneak on it whenever we want to... <_<

But I know you're such a Busy Beks, especially this summer!
-It sounds like you're having a blast too! Which is very cool.
Bye for now Beks! Don't forget Leters From Sweden!

This is a good story, Beka.
Please write another chapter. I know between school, after school activities (if you have any) and like two other fanfics you can't update them all at once, but still i like it.
I bet Elkie is pregnant.
See you soon,

We're not rushing you, Beka. We're patiently waiting. We just want you to get cracking on your fics.
That's why i'm only writing one fic at a time.
P.S. Beka, did you know my friend Millicent is writing a story in the creative works section?
P.P.S. This is my 190th post! Yay!

Good night everyone, see ya later!

Here's a suggestion I thought would be perfect for your Letters To Sweden fic. Jimmy gives the girls some magic candy and they turn into sweden girls. Here's the commercial that gave me the idea:
