Why Are We Here Again?
Disclaimer: I know this isn't the first story to have been set in an orphanage, so I would just like to say that some ideas will come from other sources. I probably can't remember them all, so I won't mention any at all. That way those I've forgotten are not offended in anyway.
I do not own beyblade, and never will. Some Oc's here are mine, but mostly go down to The Wicked Witch Of Dingl – she rules!
Chapter 1 – Depressing Or What?
'Is that it? Depressing or what?'
'Or what is a good question.'
'Psh, I just wanna close it down. Like all the others.'
'Is that all you ever think about!'
'No!'
'Shut it, you two. Someone's coming anyway.'
'Wonder if they have the key. If not then we're bloody screwed.'
'Language Jess!'
'Oh language yourself Katt.'
'Jess! Katt! Shut UP!'
'Ahem. Are you the Morgan Triplets?'
The last speaker was an elderly man. He had long-ish purple hair, and wore a smart, black suit. The triplets before him nodded in unison. The only thing between them and the man was a large iron gate, with a heavy lock on it, in plain sight.
The Morgan Triplets were a strange sight to behold, whether you saw them on there own or together as a three.
Jess Morgan, the oldest, had fiery hair. It was many shades of black, red, orange and yellow, all striped. Her hair was pulled up into bunches. She wore black jeans which hugged her legs nicely; and a short-sleeved black top with the inscription; 'I'm just here to kick ass and chew gum – and I'm all outta gum!' in flaming red letters. A black jacket went over this, and black boots were on her feet. She had been the third speaker.
Katt Morgan, the middle triplet, had long black hair with blue streaks running through it naturally. She always left it loose no matter what. She wore a black cotton skirt that was ripped off in the middle of her shins; with a long-sleeved blue top to match her hair streaks. On the top it said in white letters; 'Save the Earth! It is the only planet that has chocolate.' A white leather jacket came to her waist, and was over the top. It was left open to show her top. She had been the first speaker.
The youngest of the Morgan Triplets, was a boy. Ici Morgan had short brown hair, very different from his sisters' more…enthusiastic styles. He kept his hair short and simple, not bothering over it too much. In his arms was a laptop. He wore dark green cargo pants, and a plain grey t-shirt over it. A long green jacket was over this, but it was only slightly lighter than his pants. He had been the second speaker.
All three had black eyes, identical to their pupils. They could sparkle or dim, and seemed to hold mystery in their black orbs.
The man in the suit nodded and let them in. 'My name is Boris; I am the headmaster of this orphanage. Follow me; bring your bags as well.' He ordered. The triplets glanced at each other briefly, but did as he asked without a word.
He led them into what could be assumed as his office, and motioned for them to sit. They sat with their bags by their sides.
Each triplet had at least two bags with them. Two for clothing, and one extra. Katt's seemed to be a guitar case, and so was Ici's. Jess clutched an envelope instead.
She handed said envelope to Boris, who read through the letter it contained quickly. He nodded reluctantly. Jess grinned Katt and Ici winked at their sister. Then they snapped back to Boris. They already got the feeling that they didn't want to mess with him…yet. They needed to get used to the ropes first.
Boris sat at his desk, so he was looking across directly at the triplets. He started to fill in three forms, and put down his pen when he was done. He folded his arms and studied the three children.
'Welcome to Balkov Orphanage. We have six floors here. On five floors live eight children in one dorm together. Also on each floor lives a director, who is in charge of the children assigned to that particular floor.' Boris informed them shortly. The triplets didn't move. Boris wasn't sure if he liked their lack of reaction, but continued anyway.
'Your dorm is on the fourth floor. You can mingle with those from other floors between six and ten, but six to eleven on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. School is Tuesday to Friday only. On the first floor are the offices, cafeteria, the gym and the mess room. In the mess room, you can store and play your…instruments. But only in the hours for mingling with others, understood?' Boris snapped the last bit. The triplets nodded calmly.
'That is all.' Boris said, looking away from them. The triplets got up silently, and took their things outside. Ici shut the door behind them.
'Well,' said Jess as they made their way towards the mess room, 'isn't he mister sunshine.' Her voice dripping with sarcasm. Katt and Ici smirked at her comment.
'C'mon,' Ici said timidly as they dumped their instruments next to Jess' drum set, which had been dropped off a few days before. It was her prized possession, and Katt and Ici knew better than to annoy her about it. Let alone break it.
The drums were blood-red, with black italic writing on the middle drum. On it were the words; 'Lying, Pure and Simple'.
They made their way up the stairs, towards the fourth floor like Boris had said. Katt rapped sharply on the cold metal door of the dorm. The sounds of scuffling and movement soon followed. Jess and Katt smirked, and exchanged a knowing glance with their brother.
A small gap appeared in the door, just enough so the triplets could only see a pair of piercing blue eyes. Nothing more, nothing less.
'You the new kids?' a male voice asked. Jess rolled her eyes, Katt smirked and Ici set down his cases and folded his arms impatiently.
'No, we're here to get your undoubtedly filthy laundry. Who the hell do you think we are!' Katt asked angrily. There was the sound of laughter from behind the blue-eyed boy, and he withdrew. The gap closed over again, and the door opened.
The boy had red hair, spiked up into two devil horns. Two bangs fell into his face, though. He wore a white and orange jumpsuit, with blue buckles strapped across various parts of his body. He didn't exactly strike Jess as the social type.
Katt walked through without a word to the boy, Ici and Jess following her. They stared round at the room dismissively.
Jess spoke something to her siblings in a language nobody in the room could even recognise, let alone understand. Katt nodded happily, and Ici rolled his eyes.
'So who the hell are you three? Besides new kids.' Asked a lavender-haired boy. He was sat round a table with almost everyone else in the room, minus the redhead of course. They seemed to be playing cards. There was a pile of money in the middle of the table they were sat round.
'We're the Morgan triplets.' Jess said. Katt set down her bags, folded her arms and rolled her eyes. Ici and Jess put down their bags as well. Ici dug his hands deep into his trouser pockets.
'I'm Mariah. What are your names?' asked a pinknette from across the table. She seemed bright and bubbly, and waaaay too hyper for Ici's taste. Hopefully he'd be wrong about that much.
'I'm Ici. Jess's the one who looks like her hair's on fire, and Katt's black and blue.' Ici said shortly. Katt smirked and Jess winked at the group. The redhead walked over to sit back at the table.
'What language did you just speak in…Jess?' He asked. Jess' eyes narrowed, and Katt and Ici shot her warning glances.
'Never you mind. Now you know our names, who the hell are you lot?' asked Jess, her eyes still as narrow as ever.
'I'm Tala.' The redhead said. 'Lavender's Bryan. Scarf's Kai. Pink's Mariah as you know, and that's Lee.' As they were mentioned, they either smiled, waved or nodded.
Katt nodded slowly. 'So who's winning?' she asked. Her and Jess made a bloody great team at any card game. Bryan raised his hand, smirking slightly.
'Mind if we play?' asked Jess sweetly. The existing players glanced to each other, before either shrugging or nodding. Jess and Katt sat down, opposite each other.
'What game?' Katt asked briskly. Kai smirked.
'Go fish. That good enough for you?' he asked. The two girls glanced at each other, but nodded anyway.
'Whatever. Who's dealer?' Jess asked. Ici sat down on an empty bed, in between two other spares. Katt spotted him.
'I'll take right bed, Ea.' She called. Ici nodded, and threw her smallest bag onto the bed. He threw Jess' bag onto the other bed.
Bryan started dealing. The girls glanced at each other again, but this time it was so quick only Ici saw. And that was because he had learnt what to look for when they played cards!
'Ladies first,' Kai said to Katt with a smirk. She smirked back.
'Jess. Any two's?' she asked. Jess shook her head, and picked up. It was two. They glanced again. It was all they needed.
'Lee. Five's?' asked Jess. Lee handed over two fives.
'Katt, any two's?' he asked. Katt handed over two two's. Lee smirked. Another glance and they were all none the wiser to the girls' plan.
'Mariah, I bet you a fiver either Jess or Katt win.' Ici called over. Mariah nodded. All three shared a glance. Katt smirked.
'Great, now you put the pressure on.' Jess called back to her brother. She didn't mean it, but Ici still acted like she did.
The game went on, until Jess and Katt lost. Very, very badly. Kai won. Ici handed a five pound note to Mariah, who smirked.
'Wanna bet again?' Lee asked, smirking. Ici nodded.
'Why not?' he said. 'This time…a tenner Katt wins.' Lee's eyes widened and he nodded. Ici went and shook his hand, making the bet final. The triplets glanced to one another again.
Mariah dealt. Lee went first. 'Katt, got any four's?' he asked. Katt handed him a four, and she glanced quickly to her sister.
'Err…Bryan, got any three's?' Katt asked. Bryan's jaw dropped and he handed over two three's.
'Jess!' Bryan said angrily. 'Got any Jack's?' Jess gave him a Jack.
The game went on a lot longer this time, and Lee was worried to see that Jess and Katt were fairing well this time. He had been tricked. As the pile of money in the middle got bigger and bigger, Jess and Katt got closer and closer to winning.
Then Jess went out. She threw up her hands, and backed away like the others. Now it was down to Katt and Bryan. They glanced again. Ici glanced to Jess, who glanced to Katt. Katt smirked.
'Bryan,' she said sweetly. 'Got any eight's?' Bryan gasped as he handed over his last three cards. Katt had won.
'Pay up Lee.' Jess teased him. The triplets smirked an identical smirk. Their secret to Katt's success: Ici had seen Bryan's cards, and had been keeping a running commentary for his sisters the entire game.
Lee dug into his pocket, and pulled out a ten pound note at last. He reluctantly handed it to the small newcomer. His sisters smirked. And walked over to their brother.
'Good work Ici.' Jess said, clapping him on the back. Ici grinned up at his sisters. He put the money in a small pouch on his belt, zipping it up tight afterwards.
'I love Go Fish.' Katt said, smirking at the dumbfounded group.
'Y-You tricked us!' Mariah cried angrily. The triplets glanced at each other and shrugged.
'No. We just decided when to win and when to loose accordingly.' Katt said smoothly. They all went over and sat on their beds.
Bryan, Tala and Kai smirked. 'I think this is going to get interesting pretty damn soon.' Bryan said as he walked over to his own bed. It was next to Katt's bed.
She scowled at him, before lying back against her pillow, her eyes shut, arms folded, and headphones in her ears. Her walkman started blasting away, laid next to her and the wall on the bed.
Jess laid on her front, her chin resting her arms. Her walkman was also playing, between her and the wall like Katt's was.
Ici also had headphones in, and was typing away on his laptop. Suddenly, he started laughing. Jess and Katt each opened an eye at him, before opening the other.
'What!' asked Katt as both girls paused their music. Ici pointed to the screen, and told them something in the same language as before. Soon, Katt was laughing as well. Jess just pouted.
'Yeah well, she can go fuck an elephant!' Jess said angrily. She grinned. 'Should be roughly the same weight class, don't you think?' Ici took out the headphones.
'WHAAAAAAAT! JESS MORGAN HOW DARE YOU! I WEIGH A LOT LESS THAN A BLOODY ELEPHANT!'a girl's voice screamed. Jess and Katt cracked up laughing again.
Katt cried something in the unknown language again, and Ici also started laughing. After a couple of minutes, the triplets stopped. Katt wiped the tears from her eyes.
'Oh!' Katt sighed, as she tried to get her breath back again. 'She cracks me up. I can't believe she said that, though!' She said. Ici nodded.
'I still say she weighs the same as an elephant, though.' Jess muttered. Katt and Ici giggled again, but stopped shortly.
'I won't even ask.' Lee decided with a smirk as he watched Mariah start to gather clothes together. She walked into the bathroom with them, presumably to change. A few minutes later she walked out, know wearing a small pink nightdress. Ici blushed slightly, but nobody else batted an eyelid. Jess and Katt shared a knowing glance.
'PS1, Jess.' Katt muttered. Jess nodded. Ici rolled his eyes.
'Huh?' asked Tala from his bed next to Bryan's. Katt grinned. Jess smirked. Ici cringed.
'Pinknette Slut, 1.' Jess translated. All the boys except for Ici started laughing as Mariah whipped round.
'WHAT!' She screamed. 'How DARE you call me a pinknette slut?' Jess and Katt turned to her slowly, looking extremely innocent and believable.
'I'm sorry,' Katt said, 'Is the term "pinknette" insulting, or something?' she asked sweetly. Mariah fumed.
'No, but being called a slut IS OFFENSIVE!' She yelled back. The two girls smirked to each other again.
'Ok,' Jess said calmly. 'So you're now PW1.' Everyone stopped to frown in confusion.
'Pinknette Whore, 1!' Katt laughed. Everyone started laughing again, except for Mariah. Even Ici joined in that time.
'WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT DID YOU SAY!' screamed Mariah. Jess and Katt ignored her though, and flopped back onto their beds. Mariah seemed lost for words at their lack of reaction, not even a chuckle had been heard from either girl. Ici smiled.
'Same old, same old, huh sis?' he asked with a wry smile. Jess and Katt nodded together, grinning.
'You know Bryan,' Kai said with a smirk from his bed next to Tala's, 'I think you're right. This is going to get interesting soon.'
'Damn straight.' Katt yelled over, as she and her fellow triplets drifted off to sleep.
Do you like this? I hope so. Thanks again to The Wicked Witch of Dingl for some of the Oc's – remember, Jess, Katt and Ici are shared between the two of us. YAY!
Ok, now I sound like Max (pales and runs round room screaming madly. Stops. Pants. Shuts the hell up. Audience: hooray! Me: grrrr…)
Ok, anyway, thanks for reading, pretty please review, naioka1992 - xoxo
