All the leagl stuff we've been saying all along. Yay, have fun! Thankyou
for reviewing, those who did. For the rest of you, you had better review or else the flying penguins of
doom will rain down on your pathetic city!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and some of you have been asking us to combine chapters or something so they'd be longer, but you'll have to put up with shorties, because we don't really have the ability to combine them. Sorry, but you'll have to put up
with shorties, because that's what we've got for ya. But at least we're
actually working on it.

Chapter 6

When Kailey heard no more wailing coming from Serena's room she started to kreep down the hall to see what was going on. As she headed toward her new friends room she saw Darien exiting his room as well, aparrently with the same idea. Angel had already reached the door when they saw her. She was holding a pieces of paper and shaking her head. "Well," she sighed, "she's gone." She turned and pointedly stared at her brother. "Happy?" she asked pointedly. Darien looked taken aback. "What did I do?" he blurted out defensively. Angel shook the note at him chastizingly as the two girls stalked him into the living room, hovering over him menacingly as he sat heavily on the couch. "You probably got on her case for something and then wouldn't let it go, didn't you?" Angel scolded. "Well I..." Darien started. "Lemme guess. She had bad grammar." Kailey accused. "I didn't..." "You were just trying to help."Kailey mimicked. "Her grammar was horrible!" "What did you expect? She's only from a lower score high school." Angel exclaimed. "And just barely made that!" Kailey added. "You could have at least been cordial to her!" "But..." "But what? You ran her out of the fucking house Darien!" "Not to mention insulted her and her family." "What!? I did not!" "Oh yes you did!" "We heard you!" "I...I didn't mean to..." By now Darien had sunkdeep into the cushons, the pitiful tone of his voice only egged the twins on. "Like hell you didn't mean to!" "And you know what?" Angel said in a quiet tone that carried the deepest threats of pain imaginable. "You are going to stay in from classes tomorrow and apologize to her."

Darien panicked. He had tests tomorrow that he couldn't miss. He started to voice them when his sisters cut him off. "Tough," Angel growled. "Now you're going ot have to grovel to her," Kailey added. Darien, pitiful as he already was, managed to become more so now. he moaned and dropped his head into his hands. Kailey and Angel looked at eachother triumphantly. They had won, and they knew it.

As they headed headed back to their rooms, kailey turned to Angel. "I liked the part about her family," she whispered. "Awesome improv." "it wasn't improv," Angel answered, handing her the note as she entered her own room. "She went to her sister's" Kailey took the note. "Shit," she groaned.

"K 'Rena. Tell me what happened." Mina was sitting on the bed with her sister. Serena had her face buried in a pillow and Mina was brushing out her sister's hair to calm her. Andrew had welcomed Serena to spend the night without hesitation. He only had one spare room, so they were sharing, but neither girl cared much. Mina was mainly concerned with calming her sister enough so no one outside the apartment could hear her.

When Serena was finally calm enough that the neighbors weren't complaining about the noise anymore, Mina asked her again what had happened. Serena hiccupped a few times more then started in on her tail. "Oh Mina," she sniffled, "how can his sisters stand him? He didn't let me finish dinner before making me do the paper due for today. You know what I'm talking about? Anyways, then when I got hungry and went to get a snack he told me I must have lypo-suction every night before I go to bed to keep skinny 'cause I eat so much. He said ecen every animal in the Tokyo zoo combined wouldn't eat as much as I do in one serving.

"He told me that my handwriting was worse than a kidergartener's and that most primates have better grammar than me too. I don't even know what a primate is, but I'm pretty sure they don't talk. And then he called me a bitch and told me to leave his house forever. Oh, Mina, how can he be so heartless!?!?!"

Serena broke into her patent wail again, causing Mina to rub her temples. The only way to get her to be quiet was food, but after that little speal of what Darien Sheilds had said about her on the subject, she doubted Serena would take the bait. pets weren't allowed in the apartment complex either, or else she would have brought in Luna and Artemis to solve this. Maybe a cute guy would work... Mina thought.

Suddenly Serena stopped. mina stared at her, afraid something was terribly wrong, yet simultaneously elated she had shut up. She turned and looked out the window, following Serena's gaze. on the window sill sat-- "Luna! Artemis!" Serena squealed happily. "You came!" "Of course we came," Luna said scornfully, "We could here you from the other side of Tokyo." "Really, Serena," Artemis partonizingly. "Learn to keep the decibles down." Serena didn't seem to hear them. She was already telling them her plight.

When she had finished, the cats looked at eachother before saying anything. "He's right you know. About your paper," Luna said softly. "We're not saying he had any right to say what he did," Artemis amended. "And he was out of place to say that last bit. But people would take you more seriously if you weren't so sloppy in everything." "Maybe you should try talking ot him," Luna suggested. "Or have one of the sisters talk to him for you," Artemis added. 'You have to finish this project, Serena," Luna urged. Mina butt in encouragingly. "I'll take you over tomorrow if you want!" she offered. Serena smiled. "Thanks, Meen," she said. "And thank you, too, guys. I guess I should go to bed so I'm good to go tomorrow."

They said goodnight to one another and the cats left. Serena and Mina then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Japanese schools are weird, just leave it at that. You take a test and the higher your scores, the better the high school you get into.
