Stormy woke up, she sniffed the air while rising up still asleep. Her mind reeled about itself, her eyes opened when something register itself in her memory.
Pancakes.
Heading downstairs to see Bloom's family happily eating, a plate was set up for her. A stack was ready, Stormy took her seat before digging in; she hadn't had pancakes since she was a kid. When her father would make breakfast every Sunday before going with the family to the temple to worship a god that was indigenous to the area, she missed that.
At Cloud Tower breakfast was shredded wheat, newt skin and really odd things she didn't want to talk about.
"So, you are Bloom's friend?" Michael said, Stormy almost collapsed if she has to go through the same crap she did yesterday.
"Yes, she got thrown out by her sister," Vanessa rose from her chair with flames in her eyes. "Just like how my sister took my favorite records out the window into the streets were a pack of dogs were, she smeared them with meat and they ruined every last one of them." Bloom and Stormy stared, beady eyed and sweatdrops appearing on their head before wonder why does she have such issues.
"Pity," Michael said. "Well she has too pitch in like you do, Bloom. You know, do some dishes, grab groceries." Stormy shrugged, it was no different than what her sisters would have her do when Nutt was on vacation or running errands. She wonder about her sisters, the usual what are they doing now.
Icy was walking around in a circle checking the clock, the door and the empty bed where Stormy hadn't spent the night. "Gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die," she said every five minutes waiting for her mother to show up. Darcy was just relaxing on the balcony in a bathing suit, getting a tan. Icy looked at her for a few seconds before returning to her insane babbling.
"DARCY!" Icy shouted as she showed up behind Darcy, who was scared out of her skin. "Doing you what?"
"Me enjoying a Stormy-free existence," Darcy said while climbing back into her chair a bit annoyed. "You, defiantly not Jane."
"Well at least help me find her create an illusion of her being here," Icy snapped before she ran to the door to look into the empty hall. She came back, "do something!"
Darcy summoned a fly, for what reason is yet known as it flown away.
"Do something else," Icy was on the verge of having a heart attack."come on, help me find her."
"Why, you should really cut apron strings." Icy stood there with her left eye ticking nervously, on the surface Darcy appeared so masterful, evil to the core and detail oriented and focused on other might miss. She is detail oriented and focused because she loves to over blow them while ignoring the painfully obvious, the very painfully obvious.
"She pays for this apartment!" Icy pointed out, "this very expensive apartment we are living in right now."
"Thank you for pointing that out," Darcy spoke dully.
"Well someone has too," Icy felt her color drain as Darcy did nothing. Their mother was standing in the doorway.
"Is.. That all you have?" Vanessa said as she watched Stormy walk down the stairs.
"Yeah," Stormy crossed her arms. "It's the only thing I brought cause I really didn't plan this."
"I guess since I have this day free we might as well as go cloth shopping." Vanessa wonder over to the door, "Bloom we're heading out."
What did I do to deserve this? Stormy thought as she followed long, it was times like this she wished she had that killer instinct her sisters have. Must be nice being a full witch.
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, I'm also sorry for slipping in things like sweat drops and chibi forms (also known as super deform - SD - forms and the likes. But in my mind I picture this story as a manga, which includes using manpu.
A manpu is what the previously mentioned and much more are, so many not even readers and manga-ka know them all.
