: Hello

: Hello Ms. Maryam

: How Are You And Your Daughters Doing?

: Everyone's doing rather well

: Thank you for asking

: You Are Very Welcome

: So how are you?

: I Am Well, Vriska And Kanaya Are Together

: Porrim Is Still

: Well

: Porrim

: *she laughs* Good to know that some things never change

: It Is

: I'm dreading the day that one of them brings home a boy

: It Is Not As Bad As

: Nevermind'

: It Is Awful

: Meulin's been talking nonstop about one of the Makara boys

: Kruloz?

: Kurloz

: Oh

: Sorry

: And I'm just waiting for her to start talking about that boy around her father

: I Don'Y Like The Makaras

: **Don'T

: She Will

: I know that she will, but isn't 15 too young to date?

: Not By My Standards

: I still don't trust Kurloz though

: He looks exactly like his father did at that age

: Neither Do I

: I heard that he's gotten himself into fights

: He Has

: I Volunteered At The School Once, He Got Into 2 Fighss That Day

: I can't exactly ban her from seeing that boy too

: Homeschool?

: I can't exactly drop my nursing career to homeschool my children

: What, with my husband taking to writing and all

: I Will

: I can't let you do that, it would be too much to ask

: No, No

: It Is Very Little Infact

: Nepeta's just made herself a crowd of friends, I can't pull her out of school

: And you know how she is

: Then I Will Only School Meulin

: Are you sure that this is the best option?

: No

: Priv8 School Worked For Aranea

: I just need to find something that Meulin is good at

: So that she can win a scholarship

: To What College?

: I was thinking a private school

: Well I Know Some People

: You Could Get Her In For Free

: What kind of people? And don't you think this is too drastic for one boy?

: Kurloz will probably be expelled within the next two or three months anyways

: Administrators And Teachers At The One Down The Street

: And Okay

: If You Don'T Want To You Dont Have Too

: I'll have to think on it

: Meulin isn't the brightest

: But She Is Very Smart When It Comes To Geometry

: One subject out of many

: She's not too bad in english either

: No, Her English Is Almost Perfect!

: I'll take you up on that offer

: Which One?

: She'll probably like the uniform or something

: I Did *She Giggles*

: They Are Purrfect For Her

: Thank you so much

: Anytime

: And Did You Know That Nepeta Has All A'S In Her Classes?!

: She does?

: Dear God, where have I been?

: Yes, I Think That She Deserves A Reward.

: I'll take her out for icecream after I pick her up from school

: Well, Meulin Isn'T Much Behind; It'S Just Her Science And Music Are Bad

: You can't exactly help music, it's more talent and skill based

: But I'll see what she's learning in Science

: True

: I Help Out In The Office On Mondays And Thursdays And Her And Vriska Both Come For Help In The Afternoons

: Even I was bad at music, well until they threw a clarinet at me

: I see

: Clarinet? I Play Piano

: Piano's a beautiful instrument

: It Is

: Maybe I Could Teach Meulin When She Catches Her Grades Up

: Hopefully

: Don'T Worry, You Are New To Mothering, I Can Help.

: Hell, Porrim Is About To Be 20

: I don't think I should have even had children

: Why?

: They Are Smart And Beautiful, Just Like You And Your Husband.

: Hell, I can operate and do complex medical procedures, but I don't understand my own two kids

: Neither Did I, Take Them To A Con And Bam!

: Do you think that would actually work?

: No, It Did On Porrim, I Took Kanaya And She Practically Died On Me.

: I can only imagine

: It Was Awful *Facepalm* Never Again

: It's good that you've learned from it though

: It Is

: You Just Need To Take A Few Off Days To Spend With Your Daughters

: I think that I've got a couple of weeks booked in the summer

: Try Spending Time With Nepeta Especially

: I will

: I'Ve Seen Her Go From Cute And Innocent To The Beast She Is Today

: She's violent?

: Yes, During Lunch She Is Always Fighting With The Makaras

: Oh my

: Yes, Meulin Is Quite Upset About It

: Another reason to take Nepeta out for ice cream

: I'll tell her to lay off on them

: *She Giggles*

: She's not going to listen though

: Why Not?

: I used to beat their father up at recess

: It may or may not be genetic

: Well, Maybe

: I'll tell her to lay off on them

: I don't want them getting hurt

: They Aren'T The Ones Getting Hurt

: Is she the one to start them?

: And they're the ones to end them?

: Yes But Have You Seen Some Bruises On Meulin Lately?

: I haven't, the hospital's got me working almost 18 hours or more daily. Wait, bruises?!

: The Makara Boy Does Push Her Around Alot And It Angers Nepeta

: Perhaps I should pay Mr. Makara a visit

: No, He Will Kill You.

: You Need To Call The Police

: I will

: Hasn't the school tried solving this?

: No, They Don'T Know About It.

: Thank you for telling me about this

: I didn't know how disconnected I was until you told me

: If You Need Anything You Can Just Ask Me

: You will definitely be my first to ask

: No worries

: *She Smiles* Do You Mind If Nepeta Spends The Night With Kanaya Today? I Have To Work Late

: Or Meulin Would Be Better

: I Would Ask Porrim But She Is Out And About Today

: You can have both if you want

: No, I Don'T Think That Kanaya Could Take That. Meulin Maybe?

: I'll see if Meulin's up for it

: I need to speak with Nepeta

: Okay Well, I'Ll Be On My Way

: Not out of sadness, but out of joy because I had finally done something right

MEULIN: (=ω´=) *SHE BLUSHES*

: And I vowed that whoever made you cry, that whoever hurt you would experience Hell
