Alright… to be honest, I almost died today.
Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start.
((did you enjoy my little Sound of Music plug-in?))
Alright well, anyway, you all remember how slammed the door in Pein's face in the last chapter? It… well he…. Came back to haunt me. Apparently, Maddy let him in when she was high from poking meat.
He stalked up to me, "I'm going to get you!"
"That's what Sasori said, and look what happened! We sent you to the hospital." I said, not looking away from the TV.
"I'm not a push-over like Sasori," He growled.
"O…k… So whatcha gonna do?" I challenged.
"I called someone who will have you locked up for years!" He grinned.
I looked up, "Animal control?"
He shook his head.
"Police?"
He shook his head again.
"I really do hate guessing games."
Pein pulled out a cell phone belonging to Cameron and showed me his recent dials.
I almost screamed, "YOU CALLED MY MOTHER!!"
He laughed at my reaction.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!" I spazzed.
Katie came running into the room, "Skye, what's wrong?!"
"HE CALLED MY MOM!!"
Katie's face lost its color, "Dammit! Does that mean she's coming here? Now?"
Pein chuckled, "It does."
Katie and I screamed together.
Mira came into the room, "What's with all the yelling? You're going to rile up the entire county."
I ran and grabbed Mira's shoulders, "Pein. Called. Mom."
Mira shrieked, "He didn't! Please tell me he didn't!"
"I did!" He declared.
We turned our sharp glare on him.
"Holy shit! Mira and Skye's mom is coming? We gotta get out of here!" Maddy exclaimed coming down the stairs.
"She can't be that bad, un." Deidara said, following suit.
"You. Have. No. Idea." Mira and Skye answered together.
"What's she like?" Itachi asked coming around the corner.
"What the fuck happened to you?" Maddy laughed.
"Huh? Oh, the hair?"
We all nodded. It looked so shiny, but… it also had neon blue lowlights…
"I looks nice." Katie said.
"Thank you." He said, "Now… your mother?"
"Oh right. She's like a super strict mom," Mira answered.
"How so?"
"She wants us to be… lady-like!" There were numerous gasps.
Mira nodded, "It's true. Like with the freaky poofy dresses and tights and ballet and opera and cocktail parties and fancy dinners and designer clothings and…" She gasped for breath.
I calmed her, "Alright. I think they get it."
Let me say a few words about my mother. She's a kill-joy with no life. She divorced our real dad when I was 6 and Mira was 7… that dad who gave us the wolf gene… She's currently with husband number 5… Hank, who feels he needs to win her over by taking her on tours over Europe which is how we got dumped on Cameron's doorstep! She's currently swooning with Hank in Madrid doing God knows what. Let's just not think about that, shall we? My mother believes in women morals like 'manners' and 'etiquette'. To be honest it's really annoying. She believes all women are supposed to be lady-like… so being us, she rags on us about out day to day doings all the time.
"You could do what I did about my mom." Itachi said.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha… no. I'd like to keep my mother breathing if you don't mind," I flashed him a fake grin.
We all inhaled sharply when the phone in Pein's hand began ringing.
He answered hesitantly, "Hello?"
He handed out the phone, "She wants to talk to her daughters."
I got the phone first, "H-hello? Mom?"
"Skyanne, darling! Is Mirabelle there?" I heard my mother's semi-high pitched voice on the other line.
"Uh, yeah, hold on a sec," I put the phone on speaker.
"M-mom?" Mira said.
"Mirabelle? Is that you?"
"It is."
"Good. I have both my girls here. Now what's this I hear about you locking your babysitter out? Skyanne, answer me!"
There was laughing from the group of Akatsuki that gathered around us, "Skyanne?"
"Shut it!" I snapped, blushing.
"Skyanne?"
"Sorry, uh, technically, he's not our baby-sitter."
"What do you mean, 'not your baby-sitter'? Are you letting boys into that house?! Skyanne Jane Mooreland, answer me!
More laughter.
"And what about you, Mirabelle?" Our mother snapped.
Mira was silent, contemplating an answer.
"Mirabelle Mary Mooreland answer me young lady!"
The Akatsuki erupted into more laughter. I had to hold the phone tightly to my body so my mother wouldn't hear.
"Has Cameron left on his trip yet?"
"Yeah."
"Let me talk to the baby-sitter he left in charge."
We all froze, "We need a baby sitter!" I mouthed.
Sasori stepped forward, "I guess."
I sighed in relief, "Thank you!"
I handed him the phone.
"Hello?" He answered calmly, "… Yes I have everything under control… I'm sure… you have nothing to worry about… alright… yes….yes… Of course… See you soon Mrs. Mooreland." He closed the phone and turned to us. We looked at him with anticipated eyes.
"She believed it."
We hugged each other and cheered. Mira and I threw our arms around his neck.
"No! Get off!"
"Kill-joy much?" Mira snapped.
"Not really. She'll be here in three days."
She paused mid celebrations, "Repeat that…"
"Here. Three days." He said slowly.
"Shit!" All four of us shouted.
Tobi poked Mira, "Your initials are MMM."
She whirled around and grabbed his finger; we heard a poping sound and Tobi shrieked, "Yes!" She hissed, "I know!"
Oh crap. My mother is coming. When she sees all these people, especially guys, in my house she's going to be like a bat outta hell! OMG. Stay tuned to see how the Titanic sinks.
