"Why I love Christmas? Ah, Christmas. The holiday we all been waiting for to open gifts, enjoy the snowy season as known as Winter and best of all; spend time with family. I wasn't very enthused when it came to family though. You know how my Mom is, always going here and there, leaving her youngest child behind especially during the important events every year.
Fortunately, I wasn't fazed by that much because I had my Daddy, but after a while my Mom helped him get a job which didn't help me 'cause he, too, was never around either. Around December, when I was old enough to leave the house whenever I want, I met my husband. This is why I love Christmas because he proposed to me on the day before it, my two sets of twins, triplets and "sixlets" are all born on this month and ever since that day we met, I knew for sure I wasn't going to be alone anymore. "
The crowd let out an amused 'Aww' before applauding. Molly smiled at everyone and blew a kiss. The stage was set with a huge white rug, on top are two comfy, tan leather couches where the two ladies are seated and a huge purplish blue screen behind them displaying random pictures of Molly modeling, dressed in formal clothing. The set had a very homey feel for both the viewers, the host and guest.
The host smiled warmly at Molly for sharing her story with her and her fans. "Thank you so much for your time Molly. Have a very Merry Christmas as well to all of you who were watching this back at home!" The woman said standing up to give Molly a hug then exits off stage.
After the hug, Molly quickly waved at the fans and posed for pictures. Her eyes darted at the clock hanging on the wall and seeing that she was extremely tardy, she left in a rush. "Great, thanks for chewing off twenty-five minutes of my life. Now I'm going to be late picking up the kids." Molly mumbled as she dug in her purse for her keys.
At the Highschool, the three teens patiently waited by the stairs for their mother to show up. She's always late so they were use to it, except for Symphony. She had her arms crossed with impatience and dark pink eyes glaring at any students who walked by.
Symphony leaned on the circular stoned statue and groaned, "Can she move any slower? What is taking her so long? Grandma can drive so much faster than Mom!"she complained.
"Yeah and look where it almost got her: in a car accident." Harmony replied, pushing a lock of snow white and ultramarine colored hair out of her eyes.
"Oh well." Symphony shrugged. "If that's how life works then so be it. I wouldn't be the one mangled in broken car parts, she will."
Harmony waited a moment then said, "Uh, aren't you going to say 'God forbid'? This is Grandma we're talking about you know."
"Okay? And?" Symphony said raising an eyebrow. Harmony crossed her arms and pouted at her. Symphony then rolled her eyes in defeat. "Whatever, God forbid. Happy?"she asks sarcastically. Harmony nods in the same mordant manner.
Harmony then turns to her older brother and poked his cheek. "Tenor, your kinda quiet today. Is everything alright with you?"she queries with concern.
He nods, looking away from the card he was working on. "Yes, everything is fine. I was trying to make the perfect Christmas card for-"
"Me? Oh you shouldn't have." Symphony interrupted sarcastically. "I'm never getting over the fact that you forgot to make me one last year right after I bought you that stupid game system you were begging Dad to get you."
"Didn't you smashed it the next day? And I said I was sorry-"
"Don't care. I'm still mad at you."she sneered. "Who's the card for anyways?"
Tenor pointed at a girl sitting at the table full of other students. "Its for that girl over there. Today she gave me a whole plate of cookies she baked herself. I don't even know her name yet."he sighed thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute..." Symphony narrowed her eyes at her brother and poked his chest. "She gave you a plate of cookies and you didn't share with your sister? What happened to all of those cookies?!"
Harmony rolled her eyes, exhaling sharply. "Symphony I don't think it really matters right now. What does matter is that we should go ask for her name so he can address her properly."she suggested.
Symphony made a gagging noise. "Ew, I don't want to talk to some chick who hangs out with people I don't like."she said, glaring at the teen over by the table.
"Just come on!" Harmony said, pulling on her arm. The two walked up to the large table filled with students who are quite rowdy, with eyes on the targeted female sitting at the edge of the table. The girly teen is very attractive looking. She had long brunette hair styled in a fishtail braid with ribbons to tie it up. Her glimmering emerald green eyes were very welcoming as they approached her.
"Hi." she greeted kindly, smiling wide. "What can we do for you, Symphony and Harmony?"
The twins stared at each other for a split second then Symphony backed away from the table. "Uh uh. Nope! I don't like psychics, stay away from me. Freak!"she warned as she pointed at her.
"Wow, way to make a first impression." Harmony whispered. "Um, what she really meant was-"
A large boy with short blonde hair who looks like he could be a wrestler or a football player, stood up and went in her face. "What's your problem, huh? Picking on innocent people like that. You should be ashamed of yourself."he said, his voice booming in her ears.
Symphony pulled Harmony back and knocked the teen in his back. "Stay out of my sister's face before I spit in your mouth!"she barked at him. The kids at the table gave her either a surprised look because she was able to push down a kid three times her size or a disgusted glare due to the "spit-in-mouth" threat.
Harmony laughed nervously. She helped the kid who had fallen over to his feet and shook his hand gently. "Hold on everybody, let's not get too carried away. I mean, she was only kidding, she doesn't actually mean that. Right Sym?"
"Yes, I di-" Harmony covered her mouth and smiled.
"It was just... Symphony was shocked that she knew our names that's all. She's a very open minded girl who doesn't know how to control what comes out her mouth."she explained through her smiling, clenched teeth. "We mean no harm."
"Yup, Harms is right. We mean no harm." Symphony shot Harmony a smirk.
The girl with the braided hair chuckled at Symphony's remarked. "We're in the same classes as one another. You probably don't notice me because I'm so quiet."she said, fiddling with her hair.
"Yeah that's probably why." Symphony comments. "Your probably too busy seeing the future and shit."
"Well, look at time, this had been fun. See you guys tomorrow, have a nice day, byyyye!" Harmony giggles as she walked away waving. When they were far enough she turned around and crossed her arms. "Why did you have to do that?"
"I'm still wondering why you took me instead of Alto to ask for her name. You know how I roll." Symphony chortled while flip back her dark purple hair. "Let's just name her Soprano and call it a day."
"Why would her parents name their kid 'Soprano'?"
"Naming kids by musical terms is brought to you by the same idiots who would name their kids 'Symphony', 'Harmony' and 'Tenor'."she replied. Just then, their mother's Lamborghini Huracán vehicle pulled up at the school. Molly honked the horn and waved at the triplets. "Speaking of the devil in heels herself." Symphony said in singsong as they descended the stairs.
When all three kids entered the car and put their seat belt on, Molly drove off. She lowered her radio to speak, "By the way, I'm sorry I was so late, again. I was held up at an interview of why I love Chri-"
"We don't care." Symphony cut her off. Molly gripped her steering wheel tightly, taking ten deep, slow even breaths. "Was there a problem with what I just said?"she questioned.
"No." she seethed at her. To take her mind off of her rude daughter, she started a new conversation. "Harmony, how was school?"she asked.
"It was fantastic Mom! Guess who's going to help build and decorate the gigantic tree in the middle of our town? This girl that's who!" Harmony announced while pointing at herself. "In other unrelated news, once again, I passed my finals with a hundred. Nothing to get overexcited for."
"Wow! I'm so proud of you, baby! My bestfriend Goby decorates the Christmas Tree every single year! Tell him "Hi" for me, will ya?" Molly said. "Symphony why can't you be more like your sister? Smart, helpful and less moody."
"Maybe it's because you keep comparing me to her. I hate it when you do that! This is why I like Daddy more than you." Symphony said, smiling because she know it bothers Molly whenever she suggests that Gil is the better parent in the household.
Molly laughed. "Oh my god Symphony, I haven't realize how much of a hypocrite you are. You're only sucking up to your Father because you want something from him, like doing your homework for example. Looks like Daddy isn't doing a good job as a parent, songbird."
"I don't care. As long I get what I want and make it to the next grade I'm fine. I ain't worrying about nothing, Mom." Symphony laughed then put her headphones on.
Molly sighed as she shook her head, "Tenor, how did your day go?"
"Today was great!"he responded cheerfully. "My Chorus teacher had me singing in front of the whole class and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was so nervous."
"Aww, don't be like that when you share your talents to your peers. Expressing yourself through your passion is such a glorious feeling. When I was a little girl, I always sung in front of my classmates. Almost every morning I sing a song about our lesson of the day and I wasn't anxious. Not even on my first try." Molly said with a big smile on her face. She parked the car in the driveway and waited for her husband to come outside to gather the groceries.
"Your a lot braver than I am Mom. And you know what, I admire that a lot about you and because of that, I was bold enough to sing a song about the Treble and Bass Clef."
Molly smiled and glanced at her son through the rear view mirror. "Mommy is very proud of you. Maybe you can sing it to me when we get inside?" Alto nods his head.
[Princess: I thought I wasn't going to be able to write a holiday story but I am! Ever since I hatched this idea hours before I posted this, I even made my own children/teen characters that I may use frequently for other random stories. It has been many months since I've updated and such so I think it will be the appropriate time to create a short Christmas story ^_^.
I'll try to update this one frequently when I can since NO SCHOOL! Also, I'll be able to release the double chapter for Bummer Summer because Chapter 14 (or whatever chapter I left off on) became too long... like, waaaaaaay too long. So either way, I'll be able to finish that hopefully soon too! Everybody have a Merry Christmas, enjoy your New Year and Smile for there is a bright, brand new day ahead of you and many more to come!] ShoutOut to my girls the Fangirl Quartet! :D
