I looked down at a dust rag that was in my hand. I sighed as I watch everyone clean 'Guess I'll pitch in too' I started dusting off furniture quickly much to everyone's surprise. I could feel all the maple residents eyes stare into me. I stopped cleaning and turned around saying "What? Have you not seen anyone clean before?"
"It's not like we haven't it's just that..." Mayu started saying
"Your a fast cleaner" Kouta finished for Mayu.
"Well I'll get back to cleaning. I still have to vacuum"
"No I'll do the vacuuming, Ashley. You just relax for a bit" Yuka said lightly touching my shoulder. I smiled looking up at her.
"Okay" I looked towards Nana and Lucy who were cleaning the windows. I laughed silently as I saw Nana try to clean the window from the inside. Could she not tell that there was no dirt on the inside, but on the outside instead. I heard a crash as I saw Nana's hand go through the window and her falling through it face first as well.
"NANA!" I yelled out putting the dust rag down. I quickly ran to Nana's side "Are you okay, Nana?" I asked.
Nana stood up with blood covering her face. "Yeah I'm alright, Ashley!" Nana said smiling even though she was bloody.
"I think you need to take a break. I'll help you clean up" I said and Nana nodded her head.
They walked towards the bathroom where the medical supplies were. "Sit down" I ordered and Nana sat down in a chair that was in the bathroom. "We need to clean the wounds. It will sting a bit but only for a second" I proceeded to clean Nana's wounds.
"Ouch" Nana said flinching.
"Don't be such a baby. Your a diclonius and diclonius needs to be strong" I smiled as I said that.
"Yeah I guess so" Nana said and I finished cleaning the cuts. I put the medicine back in the first-aid bag and got a bandage out. I put it on Nana's face where the cut was.
"Thanks, Ashley. I really appreciated it." Nana said getting up.
"No problem, now go on to the others. I think they're done cleaning." I said walking with Nana to where I smelled food. We arrived in the dining room and sat down in our seats.
"About time you got here. We almost starved to death." Yuka joked and I smiled.
"So what are we having?" I asked.
"Macaroni and cheese with potatoes to go with it. I believe it's an american dish."
"It is and I am originally from America so I know about their foods."
"Really, Ashley? You came from America!" Nana said fascinated.
"Uh, yeah I did."
"Anyways let's eat" Kouta said.
"Nyu!" Lucy said and with that everybody including me began eating.
"So what's America like, Ashley?" Yuka asked while eating.
"Well it's different than here. We speak a whole other language called, English. Our accent is different too."
"Yeah I noticed your accent was a little strange when we first met." Kouta said taking a bite out of his potato.
"Yeah" I said not sure what to say to that.
"That isn't bad though. Everyone has their own unique traits about them." Mayu said smiling.
"Thank you, Mayu" I said to her and with that everyone began eating their meal in silence.
"I'm done" I stated picking up my plate and walking to the kitchen where the sink was. I put my dirty plate in the sink. I walked back towards the dining room where I saw everyone was done as well.
"Whoever cooked this did a really good job" I said.
"I cooked it and I'm glad you think my cooking skills are good" Yuka said.
"Well it wasn't that good, but it filled me up" Kouta said which made Yuka slightly angry.
"Kouta" she said in a sing song voice. I could tell she was angry. I sighed as Yuka vent her anger out on Kouta.
"Well what should we do now?" Mayu asked.
"Hmm, we could go put together a puzzle." I suggested.
"That's a great idea, Ashley. I'll get the puzzle!" Nana said and went to get one of her favorite puzzles.
"Can Nyu play too?" Nyu asked.
"Sure Nyu. I'll teach you how to play" I said kindly to Lucy. I saw that Nana came back and she was holding a puzzle that had a picture of kittens on it.
"That's a hundred piece puzzle. I might take a while to complete, Nana."
"Yeah, but we can still put it together." Mayu said and Nana beamed and opened the puzzle up dumping its contents on the ground.
"Okay we're going to have, Nyu here go first since she's new to this" I said and looked at Nyu. "Do you see these two pieces?" I asked her.
"Yes!" She answered.
"Well you put them together like this" I said showing her what to do. She looked at the puzzle in awe. 'Is she really that fascinated by a puzzle' I thought.
I took the pieces apart "Here now you try" I said giving it to Nyu who placed the two pieces on the ground and put them together.
"NYU!" It took us a good three hours to complete the puzzle. By the time we were finished it was already time for bed. Nana, Lucy, Mayu, and I took the puzzle apart, but not before taking a picture of it first. We put it back in the box and had Nana put it back up.
"Looks like you four had fun" Kouta said watching them. I jumped at the sound of his voice. I calmed down though.
"Were you watching us?" I asked.
"I came in here about thirty minutes ago" he answered.
"KOUTA!" Lucy said jumping up and running into Kouta's arms.
"Woah there Nyu. What's gotten into you?" He asked.
"Can Nyu sleep with Ashley"
"I'm not sure about that Nyu. Ashley might not like it." Yuka said coming into the room.
"Nyu" Lucy said sadly.
"That's okay. I don't mind anyways let's get to bed. Come on Nyu" I said taking Lucy by hand and walking into my room.
"I think your forgot something" Mayu said handing another futon to me.
"Thank you, Mayu" I said and sat up the extra futon beside mine.
"Also here are Nyu's pajamas. Make sure you change her right"
"Change her? You mean she can't get dressed by herself?" I asked. Mayu nodded her head and I sighed turning around after Mayu went out of the room.
Lucy sat down on the floor waiting to be changed.
"Okay Nyu hands up in the air" I ordered and Lucy did just what I said. I changed her into her pajamas. It was a pink nightgown. I changed into a purple nightgown.
'I ought to thank, Yuka for letting me borrow her clothes' I thought. "Alright Nyu time for bed"
"YES!" She said getting into her futon. I tucked her in. After that I went to the wall where the light switch was and turned off the light. I could see well in the dark so it wasn't a problem for me trying to find my own futon. I got into it and within five minutes fell asleep, but not after making sure Nyu was asleep first.
