(Author's Note:This is a continuation of my popular fic,The Kaiba Diaries. It is set in the point of view of The Roba brothers, including Espa Roba. The story I began in the Kaiba Diaries will be concluded here, and a new one began. Please read and review.)
Day 5:Jonathan Roba (kitchen table)
A few hours ago, Mokuba Kaiba came over, to check on this thing. He said he was making sure those of us who were linked were getting each other's entries. Appearently, Nikki has been setting hers to private for so long, that none of hers are showing up anymore. I wonder what that's all about….anyway..
Today was a pretty long day for us all. Espa was a little sick this morning, so Chris and I took Andy and Little E to the park so he could rest some. He's been like that the last few weeks too. Christien thinks it's the stress of coaching. I can't see how coaching Mokuba would be stressful. Being coached by Seto Kaiba…now that is something to be stressed about. Personally, I think he's getting restless. Espa's been having to take care of the four of us for years now. He barely gets a day to himself. I had a wonderful idea that I wanted to share with Mokuba. Maybe he'll read this, and we can discuss it later. Here's the idea. Brother's Day. I know I know. It sounds really corny, but believe me. When your older brother is caring you for, you do wanna show them your appreciation. My idea is for my brother and I, along with Mokuba, give Seto and Espa a day of rest. Just one day where they don't have to worry about anything. (Well,Seto will probably insist on going to work, but as far as Mo is concerned…) Espa works at Bakura Ryou's bookstore. I am going to ask Bakura if I can work in his place for a day. Espa's earned it.
Christien's volunteered to take Andy to school and pick him up, so all we need to do now is decide what to with Little Espa. Maybe Mokuba will have some ideas. Well, I gotta go. Little E's crying for a diaper change, and Christien isn't home from Yugi's shop yet. He's replenishing his deck with more boosters.
Day 7:Christien Roba (Sadie's Ice cream)
Sometimes, I wish Espa wouldn't pretend he was okay all the time. I know he isn't. He's not necessarily the happiest person in the world. I don't think any of us Robas are,given our family situation. We've been through a lot of stuff. Social Services tried to take us away several times already. They didn't think Espa was capable, at the age of fifteen, to take care of the four of us. We sure proved them wrong!
I think Jon's Brother's Day idea is perfect. Not just for Espa, but for Mokuba Kaiba too. I wonder why it's taken us so long to think of it. I guess it doesn't matter now, but I wish we would've thought of it sooner.
I got new cards for my deck. I'm sure I'm not a shoo in for the finals, but it never hurts to be prepared. I know at least one of us Robas is going. Jon has become ruthless. He sort of reminds me of Espa. I remember vaguely,Espa's first duels. He was relentless. This was before his ESP stint. When that came into play,Espa used it to unnerve his opponents. We loved helping him, but at the time, we didn't realize it was cheating. I hope Espa won't get mad at me for saying this, but I was really glad when Mokuba caught us cheating at Battle City. See I didn't mind helping Espa, but, I knew, and I know Jon knew too, that Espa could duel without cheating.
Well, I'd better get back. We're all going to the Kaibas' for dinner, if you can believe it. See you all tomorrow.
Day 1:Espa Roba (kitchen)
These diaries of Mokuba's are pretty neat. My brothers and I started a Roba Link. Mokuba came by yesterday so we could link together. I've caught up to Jon and Chris' diaries. Christien is very observant for a 9-year-old. It kinda bothers me,actually. I didn't realize he was picking up so much. deep sigh I'd give anything in the world to take the worry off of my brothers' shoulders. Even Andy seems to worry about me. The only one who seems totally oblivious to everything is Baby Espa. I want it to stay that way. He's only three, and should not have the worries my other brothers have.
I wonder if I should confront Christien about this. I don't know yet. I might ask Seto about it. He and his brother Mokuba are very close, but I'm betting Mokuba worries about him as much as my brothers worry about me, without Seto's knowledge.
Oh! Speaking of the Kaibas, I gotta get off of here. Little Espa needs changing into nicer clothing, so we can be ready when his car comes to take us to dinner. hears door open and close Yes, it's that time. I will write later.
