Meet The Parents
The world of 'Cinderella' has finally been opened. The truth is out! Disney's cover-up has been revealed. But what happened after? Did everything work out? Did they live happily ever after? Did they go back in time like in the movie? Ahem…that's a little extreme…so…There's only one way to find out:
--------------------
A young girl with short brunette hair and ruby eyes wandered the halls of her high school; her white gown swishing violent as she scurried along the halls. She scanned the abandon hall. No one. She let out an agitated sigh. Where was she?
Meanwhile a girl with lilac hair was bobbing her head to the music blaring from her headphones. Her hat, which matched the color of her gown, flew off her head, because of her violent bobbing. The girl stopped her motion and searched for her hat, spotting it she ran towards it.
"Tsuki! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! We're about to walk down the isle!"
The girl, Tsuki, looked at her step-sister.
"Really? Don't you think it's kind of awkward…I mean, I have a boyfriend and you have a boyfriend, but we're 'walking down the isle'…"
Tsuki smirked at the look from her sister's reddening face. Her eye twitching violently.
"You idiot! That's not what I meant!"
Tsuki rolled her eyes, a smile plastered on her face.
"I know. I know. Chill Hilary. Chill."
"Ugh! What are you doing here anyways?!"
Tsuki shrugged her shoulders and replied in a very nonchalance way:
"I got lost…"
Hilary's eye twitched. How in the world could she have gotten lost? This was her high school too for crying out loud! And besides, the band was playing like there would be no tomorrow! Hilary growled and grabbed her sister's hand who just allowed her self to be dragged. It would be futile to fight, even Tsuki knew that.
--------------------
Violet orbs scanned the area. They weren't there yet. He let out a low growl. If he's girlfriend forgot about her own graduation he wouldn't know what to do! Probably never live it down. He adjusted his hat that was fixated on his two-toned blue-grey hair. His girlfriend had a tendency to forget things…one of them was his name. She still hadn't gotten it down. Alright. She's said it but she'd always look down at her bracelet that she made, with has his name on it, so she'd never forget. She didn't want another incident, like the time they went to the beach, to happen again. The teen smirked. Good times. The red head next to him nudged him.
"What Tala."
"Whoa! Chill Kai. You see them?"
"No."
"You don't think…"
"Tsuki forgot…I don't doubt it."
Rambunctious noise echoed through the hall that the many students were filed in. They all turned to find Hilary and Tsuki trudging their way, Hilary trudging, Tsuki being dragged while screaming 'Never Fear! The Kishuko sisters are here!'
Kai pinched the bridge of his nose. Couldn't she just act normal for five seconds? Why in the world did she always have to make a scene? Kai felt arms wrap around his neck. One guess to who that was.
"…Kai! Hello mister! What's up?!"
Kai rolled his eyes, typical Tsuki.
"Hn. Forget your own graduation?"
"Nope! I got lost!"
"You say it like it's a good thing."
Tsuki let out a sigh and then started to giggle. She was in a happy mood. Maybe because she was finally graduating? Or it must have been the M&M cookie that her blonde friend Max gave her…but whatever it was she liked it!
Kai stared at his girlfriend, a brow raised. She seemed to be off in her own world.
The booming voice of their principal echoed through the halls. The school secretary, a stout old woman scurried around yelling at people if they weren't in their right order.
Tsuki raised a brow; her last name started with a (K)…so…Oh! There's Hilary, Aya…and…some lonely guy. Tsuki shrugged her shoulders and walked up to lad. He was approximately two inches shorter than Tsuki. Boy she felt bad for him. She already stood at five-foot-four-inches, meaning he was five-two. Tsuki shook her head, poor guy.
"So, you ready?"
Tsuki asked the guy with a smile. The guy turned around. Tsuki raised a brow. Thick rimmed glasses twice the size of his face; now that she'd seen his face, she was wondering what he was wearing…Tsuki smiled at him. The guy didn't smile back.
"It seems that now I must give you my elbow so that when it is our turn we will not ruin the flow."
Tsuki, both brows now raised, nodded, a smile still on her lips. Wow. You don't see people like that everyday! Tsuki looped her arm around his and when it was their turn they marched towards the awaiting crowd.
--------------------
"Yup! I was sitting next to him. Mr. Valedictorian guy…man…he looked like your stereotypical nerd—Ow!"
Tsuki looked at Hilary shocked. Why did she do that? What did she do? Hilary stood glaring at Tsuki. How dare she make fun of him?
"Humph! You're just jealous that you didn't get Valedictorian or Salutatorian! Don't be making fun of the smart ones!"
Tsuki rolled her eyes. She wasn't making fun of David, the stereotypical nerd, she was complementing him. Besides, it's not like she was aiming for those ranks!
"Whatever…it doesn't matter, if Herman wasn't in my way I would have Salutatorian! I was ranked three out of our class!"
Tsuki crossed her arms and nodded her head in an 'I'm so good' manner. Hilary rolled her eyes.
"See! If you tried harder you would have made it!"
Tsuki looked disgusted. What kind of person would want to fry their brains? Okay, she wanted those ranks when she first entered high school but…eh…not so much. Someone snorting diverted her attention. She raised a brow at Kai. What's his problem?
Kai spotted her staring and smirked her way, uncrossing his arms.
"You got ranked, third place? You must be pulling my leg."
Tsuki stepped back offended, alright, not really. But she acted like she was.
"Humph! You're just jealous—" Tsuki looked down at her bracelet, "—Kai! You wish you were ranked third!"
Kai snorted. As if. He came in a good rank, he was happy with that.
"KAI HONEY!"
Kai's eyes widen, no…yes…His mother came running towards him, her dark blue-black hair adorned with slate-grayish streaks swaying as she ran, arms stretched towards him. No! Not now, Tsuki was never going to let him live this down!
His mother embraced him in death grip hug. Tears streaming down her face. Her baby was all grown up!
Tala, Hilary, and Tyson were chuckling. Tsuki stood, her eyes looking disbelievingly at the woman before her. Who in the galaxy and beyond was she? And why was she squishing her Kai?! Tsuki puffed up her cheeks. Was Kai cheating on her? And with an older woman! Oh! Kai's in trouble now. She even called him 'honey'! The nerve!
Renée walked up to the group, followed by a man with dark brown hair and violet orbs, a smile on his face.
"Hey! So? Glad you finally graduated?"
Renée went to an all girls private school, and had graduated before them. They all nodded. It had taken their school two weeks to set up their graduation! Two weeks! What was with that?! But it didn't matter anymore. They were out of high school. Renée turned to Tsuki who was glaring at the still being squished Kai. Renée chuckled; she walked up to Tsuki and whispered:
"His mom gets carried away sometimes…it's pretty funny."
The information didn't register until a minute. Tsuki's eyes widened. Mom? Kai has a mom?! No way! Tsuki squinted, now that Renée pointed it out, they almost had the same hair color, but Kai's hair style difference made the colors more visible. Tsuki turned to the man, must be his dad.
Renée chuckled. Tsuki was as dense as ever.
"Mother. Stop!"
They all turned to Kai who had created some room between him and his beaming mother. Tsuki grinned. How was she to pass up an opportunity to embarrass the teen?
"Aw! Is the—" Tsuki glanced at her bracelet and glanced back up, continuing in her baby voice. "—Kai baby embarrassed? Aw! You're so cute!"
Tsuki began to pinch Kai's cheeks. Kai's eye twitched. What did he ever do to deserve this kind of treatment?
"Tsuki…"
"TSUKI! THE Tsuki!"
Tsuki jumped at the sudden address towards her. Her pointer and thumb still holding onto Kai's cheek. Kai's mom was beaming at her. So, Tsuki did what she thought was natural she beamed right back.
"Yes! Yes! I am the Tsuki! Not unless there is someone else out there with my name! I am the one!"
She stared at Kai's animated mom, the smile on her face never faltering.
"Uh…Do I know you?"
Kai's mom beamed even more. Tsuki was nervous now. What was up with this woman? Is she really Kai's mother? Their personalities were completely opposite.
"Ah! Come here you!"
Kai's mother began to advance on Tsuki.
"Oh! No! I think I'll stay right here and you…you right there!"
The woman's smile widen, her advancement never wavering. Tsuki hid behind Kai, her pointer finger directed at the woman.
"Stand back! I have your son and I'm not afraid to use him!"
The woman let out a hearty laugh. The girl was hilarious!
Kai ran a hand through his hair. This was not how he planned to have his parents and his girlfriend meet each other. But what else could he expect? His girlfriend was Tsuki, and what a perfect way to meet each other than like this!
The others, forgotten momentarily, chuckled. Nothing was ever normal. Tsuki, eyes wide as saucers, peered behind Kai's frame at the woman, a little skeptical about her. She was weird…
--------------------
"Your mom's weird."
"Hn. Look who's talking."
Tsuki narrowed her eyes at Kai playfully who was laying eyes closed at the foot of her bed. They had gotten back from the graduation ceremony a while back. Now, they were just relaxing and enjoying the rest of their summer vacation before they had to depart to college.
"Are you indicating that I'm weird?"
Kai smirked, but kept silent. Tsuki sat there gaping at him. She puffed up her cheeks and sat on top of him, ungracefully, causing him to glare at her.
"Get. Off."
"No."
Tsuki crossed her arms over her chest and smiled victoriously at Kai who glowered. They were in an awkward position. Did she not know that? Didn't she think that if anyone walked in, they'd get the wrong idea?! Guess not, 'cause there she was, fighting every attempt to get off of him.
"Tsuki! I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea!"
Tsuki raised a brow, so that's his problem…she smiled secretively at him.
"Oh…I see…" She glanced down at her bracelet, "Kai is embarrassed! Aw! The cutie baby is embarrassed! Mommy's little honey…"
Tsuki laughed hysterically and rolled of Kai, landing on the floor with a loud 'thud'. Kai was red in face, not by embarrassment, but by annoyance. He glared at Tsuki who looked up at him from her spot on the floor. Her laughter had died down…they just stared at each other. Kai smirked. He bent down until their faces were centimeters apart…
"Hey Tsuki!"
Kai retracted before the door was fully opened. Hilary walked in.
"Oh hey Kai."
Kai nodded in acknowledgement and went back to lying down with his eyes closed. Hilary rolled her eyes and turned to Tsuki.
"You two want to go to the movies with Tyson and myself?"
Tsuki let out a sigh. She would love too, but she couldn't. Kai's mother had invited her to dinner and she just didn't know how to say 'no'. She never knew how to say no to anybody! She kept a reminder in her brain to ask Kai how to say no. He was more than capable of denying anyone.
"Can't. Mister's mommy invited me to dinner. She wanted to get to know me better."
"Alright. Have fun with Mister and his family. Behave."
Hilary said the latter with a stern tone and pointed an accusing finger at Tsuki who snorted. She always behaved.
"Hey mister, what time are we supposed to be there?"
"Hmmm…"
Tsuki scrunched up her nose and turned towards her bed. What the heck did that mean? Was she supposed to decipher it? She got up off the floor and lay next to Kai.
"What?"
Kai opened a lazy eye and closed it again. His arms wrapping around her small frame.
"I said. 'Not 'till later'"
Tsuki rolled her eyes. She knew that, but she wanted to know the time. Kai was so strange sometimes.
"No silly! I want to know the time!"
"Why?"
"So I can runaway as soon as it nears dinner time!"
Kai smirked at the sarcastic tone. Tsuki waited for a response from Kai other than his smirk. Tsuki furrowed her eyebrows. His dad had smirked at her in the exact same way. His smirk must come from the dad's side. Tsuki held a contemplating look. Maybe his dad has Kai's attitude. She hadn't heard him speak other than his greeting towards her.
"Hn. Don't think to hard, you're brain might explode from all the pressure."
Tsuki glared at him. But he couldn't see because he closed his eyes again. What a jerk. He totally underestimated her intelligence.
--------------------------
"Come. On. My parents are waiting."
Kai continued to pull and glare at the rooted girl. Tsuki stared at Kai's house. She's never been there before. Hilary told her it was nice and that his parents were kind. But still, it was Hilary. Tsuki was nervous, and she's never nervous. But she was.
Kai ran a frustrated hand through his hair. She was as stubborn as a mule when she wanted to be. He needed to try a different approach.
"Tsuki…"
Tsuki turned to Kai. He never used that tone with her. It was…gentle. Tsuki smiled at the thought. A gentle Kai. Her smile spread when she thought about that. It was so…un-Kai like. It was funny.
Kai raised a brow, while watching Tsuki silently giggle at something. He wasn't going to bother to ask. He didn't want to know what goes through her mind. But at least now she's calm. Kai gently guided Tsuki inside.
"Mom! We're here."
"Okay! In the kitchen honey—I mean Kai, sorry dear!"
Kai rolled his eyes, ignoring the chuckling girl behind him. His father came down the stairs and greeted his son with a nod and disappeared into the kitchen.
"You got it from your dad."
Kai raised a brow at Tsuki. What was she talking about?! Seeing Kai's confused look, she elaborated:
"You're attitude. It's from your dad."
Kai rolled his eyes, and smirked. She was very observant…when she wanted to be.
--------------------
Tsuki looked around at the table; did they always eat dinner in silence? She was going to die if someone didn't talk! Maybe she should start it. Yeah, be the leader and the others the monkey…but it seems someone else beat her to it.
"So, Tsuki, do you always meet you're…um…boyfriends over the internet."
Tsuki looked at Mrs…Um…Oh dear. She didn't remember Kai's last name. Shoot! She knew she forgot something. She needed to work her way around their last name. She didn't want to embarrass herself…yet.
"Well, no. Actually…" Tsuki glanced down at her bracelet. She had been practicing remembering Kai's name an hour before dinner and she still didn't get it down. "Kai's my first boyfriend…"
"Oh?!"
The father spoke up this time. Tsuki glanced at him. What was with the surprised 'Oh?!' for? What did he think of her? A whore? That's Aya's job. Mr. Hiwatari, seeing Tsuki's confused look elaborated.
"I didn't mean it in an offensive way, in fact, that's really good. Education before relationships."
Kai's father smiled at her and Tsuki had to smile back…one word was going through her head…awkward. Kai glared at his food. What was this? Twenty questions? His parents never asked questions like those when Hilary was over!
"Oh! Eat up Tsuki, Kai's told us what an appetite you have."
"Really?! Oh!"
Tsuki turned to Kai and gave him a smile but oh did he know better. This is why she didn't want to embarrass herself. Tsuki turned to Mrs…um who was placing more food onto her plate. She didn't have to serve her; she was capable of doing that! How silly.
"You don't have to do that…"
Tsuki cut herself off and smiled. She needed to make another bracelet, one with Kai's name and his last name.
Choking turned the trio's attention to Kai, who was coughing.
"Honey? You alright?"
Kai nodded his head, a smirk on his face. He caught Tsuki's cut off. She forgot his last name. Dinner wasn't going to be so bad after all. He glanced at Tsuki who gave him a 'what's wrong' look and just shook his head. He wanted to know how long she could last through dinner without saying his last name.
-----------------------
Tsuki was helping Mrs…with the dishes. She glanced at the woman, she was alright. Kai's dad was alright too.
"Tsuki dear, you don't have to help me…why not go upstairs with Kai. I have it under control."
"What? No, that's okay."
"She's right. I'll take it from here."
Tsuki turned to Mr…and smiled. Alright…If he really wants to wash then he can wash the dishes to his heart's content. Tsuki smiled at him and skipped her way towards Kai's room.
-----------------------
Kai was flipping through his channels when Tsuki came barging in, a silly smile on her face. Kai raised a brow. What was up with her? Kai wrapped an arm around her when she crawled up next to him.
"So?"
Tsuki glanced up at him. What did he want? Kai rolled his eyes.
"What do you think of my parents?"
Tsuki smiled and turned her attention back to the show.
"They're nice. Your mom's funny and your dad is just like you!"
Tsuki giggled. Kai rolled his eyes. At least 'meeting parents' was off the list. A thought flashed in his mind. He smirked.
"Tsuki?"
"Yeah."
"What's my last name?"
Kai felt Tsuki go tense. He let out a small chuckle. He knew it.
"You forgot didn't you?"
Tsuki snorted. No way. It just slipped her mind, just like how his name always slips her mind as well.
"No! I know it!"
"What is it?"
"…Himura."
Kai snorted. Far from it. Here they go again. First his name, now his last name. What was next?
