Tale of Cash
Part 73: the only people who can embarrass Brittany
" 'Whistle' Ms. Miller, You didn't tell us your family lived in an old castle." Cash said. They had landed about two hours ago. The drive was about an hour long. " Oh, Rebecca! Good to see you. And girls. My Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor! My how you've grown. Starting to develop I see." Said Ms. Miller's Cousin May, pointing at the girls chests. " Hey!" They called, folding their arms over their chests. " It's a natural part of life girls. And those things are only going to get bigger." Cousin May joked. The girls faces turned bright red. ' Don't worry, I'd say D cup to double D will be about the size you'll hit." She continued. The girls had this look on their face that said ' lady, just turn around and we'll strangle you.' " ha-ha, Puberty jokes aside, I assume this is Katrina?" Cousin Stan, May's husband, said. " Yep, this is the little cutie in the flesh." Ms. Miller said. " Hmm, She's far bigger and older looking in person." May said. " Um, I'm not Katrina." Vinny said. " IF your not Katrina, who are you? The girls mother?" May asked. " Um, May, the girls Parents, Sam and Mandy, are dead. This is Vinny. See the boy chipmunks here?" Ms. Miller said. " Hmm, four thirteen-year-old-boy sized chipmunks, in red, blue, green, and black? Hard to miss Becky. Of course I see them, what of it?" May said. " Well, Vinny is the boys mother." " Where's their dad? Is he, you know, (makes slashing noise with the slice across the throat move)?" " Afraid so. Done in by a hunter while trying to save a family of rabbits. Tom was his name." Dave said. " And you are sir?" " My name's David Seville. Call me Dave. I'm the boys adopted dad." " Ah, nice to meet you, Dave." Stan said " and, the boys names?" Vinny and Dave started, but Alvin held up his hand to stop them. " Please, Mom, Dave, we're thirteen. We can introduce ourselves. Hi, My name's Alvin Seville." " I'm Simon, the 'smart' brother." " I'm Theodore."" And I'm Cash, the long lost brother." " Well, your not lost any more." may said. " I guess your like Katrina? Got separated from your brother's by extenuating circumstances?" " Yep, flood. Alvin knocked me out of mom's arms when it happened. Didn't do it intentionally, just a kid trying to get closer to his mom. Got washed down stream by a flooding river." Cash explained. " Oh, you poor thing. And Katrina, dear, were you taken by poachers?" may asked. " Yep. Mr. Franklin was one of those poachers But, it's cool. He's the one who let me go. He's been making it up to me ever since we met again. You may say he's our mom's care taker. Vinny lives with him." Katrina explained. " I thought your mom was dead?" Stand said. " Oh, well, see, We're dating the boys. Me and Simon, Britt and Al, Ely and Teddy, and Cash and Katie. I had a vision from god, when I nearly died from a spider bite." " We know dear. Becky's told us. God said your future would be the way it was shown to you if you told the others. We know they are going to be you hubbys one day." " Well, that makes things easier to explain. Vinny treats us like her own flesh and blood, as if we are her daughters. Because of that, we call her mom." Jeanette finished." Oooh!' Cash groaned. " What is it baby?" Vinny asked. " I think that sea food platter I ate at the restaurant we stopped at on the way here isn't agreeing with me. I think I'm going to be sick." " Bathroom's the first door on your right as you go past the kitchen." Stan Said. " Thanks." Cash ran inside. " I hope he doesn't have food poisoning. Be the third case at this castle this month. We know where you stopped. Stan and I got poisoning there earlier in the month." May said. " Maybe he's allergic to seafood?" Simon said.
Tale of Cash
Part 74: the things wrong with us
" Man, I think I started puking stomach acid." Cash said that night, as the boys settle into their room. The girls were across the hall. Cash laid his suit case on the bed and put his sword on the back of the night stand. " You threw up that much?" Alvin asked. " Yeah, and I'm fine now." " Cash, I think your allergic to seafood." Simon said. " Now that you mention it, the same thing happened to me when I ate some shrimp at a party with Mr. Ikebana. From then on, he steered me away from seafood. Only gave me pork and beef and such. I guess I am allergic to seafood." ' So, supermunk does have a weakness after all." Alvin said, doing his best Lex Luthor impersonation. " Very funny Alvin." Cash said. " You can handle some one twice, even three times your size, but some halibut knocks you on your back? Some shrimp can take you out when an uppercut can't? You have to see where this is funny." Alvin said. " Well, we all have our problems. Simon's near sighted. Though you love each other and us, you and Brittany are still heavily narcissistic, Theodore has night terrors sometimes. Yes, Theo, We have been woken up by your, sometimes ten minute long, sessions of screaming. I'm Allergic to sea food. Ely is allergic to all greens. You know, mustard greens and the like? Jeanette's near sighted. And Katrina is claustrophobic." cash listed. " Ha-ha, you all have physical and mental issues. Me and Britt got off easy." Alvin laughed. " Oh you think so?" Simon said. " Need I remind you that you are arachnophobia Alvin?" " What's that mean again?" Theodore asked. " It means he's deathly afraid of spiders." Cash explained. " It's not that bad, though Alvin." " Why not? I'm scared to death of things that are about nine times smaller than me. It's a stupid fear." " Well, I got a Phobia too." Cash said. " What is it?" The other asked. " I have Taphephobia or Taphophobia, as it's also know. It's the fear of being buried alive or cemeteries. I know nothing in a cemetery can hurt me, I just like being in them or near them." " Eh, Theo's like you. He's got Necrophobia. The fear of dead bodies." Alvin said. " I've got Ophidiophobia." Jeanette said. " Sorry, I was in the hall and hard you talking about your phobias. If I'm interrupting, I'm sorry." " No, it's alright babe." Simon said. " Babe? You've never called me that before." Ack, I'm spending to much time around Alvin and Cash. They call Britt and Katie that. I'm sorry, beautiful." " That sounds like my Simon." " What is Ophidiophobia?" Brittany asked. " We all came to say good night. But, this is an interesting topic. Never knew you and Theo were so afraid of things dealing with death, Cash." " Well, no one is really unafraid of dying." " Well, any ways, I have Ophidiophobia, meaning I'm deathly afraid of snakes." Jeanette said. " I have Acrophobia, the fear of heights." Eleanor said. " You seem fine on the plane." Cash said. " But, you notice I never looked out the window or, when had that balloon race years ago, I never looked outside the basket for very long?" " I have Apiphobia, the fear of bees." Katrina said. " Brittany, do you have a phobia?" Simon asked. " Well, yeah, I guess. A head doctor looked me over once and said, according to the tests they had done, he said I had Autophobia. You know, the Fear of being alone ? I can't stand being by myself ." " So, see Alvin, compared to all this stuff, my allergy to seafood is nothing." Cash said. " Besides, aren't you and Brittany both allergic to wheat?" " Yep, neither one of us can eat wheat bread or anything like that." " Well, let's get to bed." Brittany said. The couples kissed and said goodnight.
