Ch 2: Getting to the Point
"Bye Emz. I love you!"
"Luv ya Emmie! See ya soon!"
"Tata Ems. I'll be home every weekend and on the interenet every night."
Interference from the real world of Lan moment.
"Where is that CD?" asked Mai barging in as usual.
SMACK went Lan's hand as she hit the arm of her younger sister as she reached for and grasped the free Joseph Devine CD that had come with her purchase of Idina Menzel's Still I Can't Be Still CD as a gift for being a returning customer to CDBABY.com. ($Cha-Ching$)
"OW!"
"You could at least ask!
"You don't even listen to it!
"I do!
"You don't even like it!
"Yes I do!
"No! You just like him because I like him and want him.
"It's my CD! And no I do like him! He's like a mix of Oldies and Rock.
"Well still you haven't listened to him.
"Yes I have.
"When?
"This afternoon. When I was writing and had locked myself in here. Huh?
"Huh?" retorted Mai mockingly.
Lan was doing her best to restrain herself from punching her brat sister in the stomach which was currently an easy and open target. Their dad raised his voice in an indistinctable warning in Vietnamese. Lan had to submit or risk rousing her father's hot temper which she had also inherited.
"I hate her!" thought Lan bitterly. She often locked the door to keep such frequent and annoying interuptions from occurring, but at the time the room was way too hot to have the door shut. After having to put up with one more interuption from the brat and issuing an ultimatum if the CD was not returned by the end of the night, Lan finally returned back to her writing.
Interference ends.
"Guys, you can't go yet," cried Emily with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry Emz," said Lan sympathetically hugging her youngest Ya-ya who also had been a sort of surrogate mother to her.
"Yeah, it's not like we're not going to come and visit," added Rach.
"Come on guys. We've got to go." said Tama impatiently.
After embracing Emily one last time, the three eldest Ya-yas, Tamela, Rachael, and Lan all headed off to their seperate cars which soon drove off headed for their seperate colleges. Tamela and Rachael set out for Murray while Lan was traveling all the way out to Lousivlle. As the cars drove off, Emily stood there waving and blowing kisses goodbye with tears pouring down her face. Once she lost sight of them, she sat on her doorstep for the longest time. A sense of overwhelming lonlieness ensued her. Eventually the heat of the sun drove her indoors. She moped around the house the entire evening, evading the presence of her sister and mother. She tried picking up a book to read, but threw it down in frustration.
"Why can't I be going off to college?" she thought as she readied herself for bed. "Or better yet, why can't they be staying another year like me?" Emily in the utter depths of despair buried her face into her Sampson, her favorite stuffed puppy dog, and pulled the covers over her head.
"Go away Elijah! Can't you see I'm in the depths of despair? My Ya-yas just left me to go to college of all places, and you think I'm the mood to cuddle?!" she shouted harshly from beneath the blankets at Elijah Wood who was about to step out of but quickly retreated back to the safety of his poster on her wall. Suddenly a thought donned on Emily, and she abruptly sat up throwing off her covers.
"Wait a minute! I'm Queen of the Universe! I can do whatever I want! They can't go to college without my consent! Hahahahaha! I'll bring them all back here to live with me, and they'll never go to college! Never ever! Well at least not until I do, and when that day does come, they're all going to Murray just like me, and we'll all room together and everything will be all happy and fun again!" Unable to sleep, Emily sat up the rest of the night in her room laying the foundations of her brilliant plan to keep her Ya-yas from going to college ahead of her.

AN: I finally figured out where this story is going! Brilliant am I not? Most of it this time was interference, but hey I might as well incorporate all these interuptions since they happen all the time and provide me with time to think of where the rest of the plot is headed. Yeah it kinda seems like original fiction for now, but you just wait. Fanfiction and me and Emily are like well I don't know...but we go hand in hand. I'm certain many characters are bound to make a cameo both fictional and real. So tell me whatcha think, and more will be on the way.
