Chapter 15
Material Possessions Must ReadA/N: Sorry I have not been on for a long time, because of school starting. I re read over this story and found out that I went off target. This chapter will help anyone who is confused or whatever. I also noticed that it isn't really 'real life' like. I mean the characters (who are not their XS selves) are doing or experiencing things that are impossible, or 'childish'. I making this chapter long, possible and suspenseful! I mean who really has all that money?
Disclaimer: I do not own XS. The characters Chad, Gavin and Ryan MAY seem a lot like the their celebrity counterparts but there're not. I repeat, there're NOT!
----------------------------
Because of the storm the previous night, Chad had his servants sleep downstairs with him and the others (but in a separate room) mostly because their family members would sue him if they got hurt. The birds were chirping and again Momo woke because sunlight was glaring down at her. She stretched her arms and slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was something she did not believe! She rubbed her eyes, but the scene was still there. She scooted off the couch and looked at what the house used to be. The entire upper floor of the house was demolished! Everything was gone due to the tornado.
"Everyone wake up!" Momo screeched. Everyone did like Momo and rubbed their eyes in disbelief of what they were looking at. Chad sputtered some non-English words as he gasped at his now gone summer mansion.
"But, how are we still alive?" Shion yelled desperately. "Those weights and bowling balls would have crumpled us!" Chad turned his head so he could face her, his eyes clouded with sadness.
"Im not sure." Was his simple reply. Jr took out his small cell-phone and dialed his Father's Home number. When Gaignun answered, Jr went berserk.
"Dad are you alright? Is the house still there?" He took a big breath and waited for his reply.
"Umm, yes! How is the situation there? I heard there was a horrible F6 tornado in your area." Jr was relieved.
"His house was totaled. The entire upstairs are gone! Could you send Mary over to pick us up?" Gaignun said, "Yes." In addition, hung up.
"Dad's coming. If any of your belongings are still here, now is the time to fetch them." Shion giggled but a horrible wave of dread filled Momo's chest. Some of her prized possessions were in her suitcase upstairs, now probably torn to shreds. The last of the money Juli had was there to.
"Hey Jr?" Momo asked meekly. He turned and gave her a heart-warming smile.
"Do you mind if I borrow 10 dollars? The last of Mommies Money was in my suit case and it's gone now." Jr gave her a reassuring nod and handed her a 20.
"Its cool, you need it more than me." The six teens walked up what was left of the stairs and rummaged through the rubble to see of they could find their belongings. Shion and Allen found a small portion, but that was it. Although Momo discovered a small pink tin near where the front entrance used to be. She picked it up and smiled. It was her favorite moneybox, the one her father gave her when she was little.
"Make a wish and put it in the box and it will come true!" her father would say. She opened it and took out the ten-dollar bill inside.
"Jr, here," Momo said handing him the twenty back. He pushed it back into her palm and smiled.
"You keep it. Ill get another twenty next week anyways." She smiled and when he turned away, she held the money close to her chest and sighed.
"Why did life have to end up like this? Am I being punished?" Momo thought. A car's horn brought her out of her thoughts.
"Must be Mary!" Jr yelled. He jumped over the rubble and into the Limo quickly. The other five stared at him, but quickly got in to.
"Hey, shouldn't you tell your peeps that your leaving Chad?" Allen asked. Shion gave him a dirty glare for using 'rap' talk.
"Oh its cool," Chad replied. Everyone was quiet until Shion and Allen had left. Miyuki, who had hardly talked began to.
"Im really sorry about your house Chad," she said solemnly. He put his arm around her shoulder and smiled.
"Its okay. I hope Mom and Dad wont kill me though!" Momo and Jr chuckled at his comment. Mary pulled into Chad's drive way and he told everyone bye and that he would see them Monday at school. When Mary pulled back out, she headed for Miyuki's house next. What surprised Momo was that Miyuki lived in the same neighborhood as her, but in a worse case. Her family lived in an extremely small house. Moreover, for twenty people it was bad.
"Hey Momo, Ill see you Monday okay? Call me tonight!" Jr yelled out the window as Momo knocked on her front door. Momo waved and Mary pulled off. Juli answered the door and gave Momo a great big bear hug.
"Darling! Im so glad your okay! I have some amazing news for you!" Juli grinned pulling Momo into the living room.
"Did we win the lottery?" Momo thought. Her Mom grinned and sat her down on their miniscule couch.
"I want you to meet someone," She said rather loudly.
"She was put up for adoption and I just couldn't help myself. She is a beautiful young lady, and im positive you will love her as your sister!" Momo gasped. Something she had wanted since she was little, a sister to trade clothes with, have sleepovers, and do all the girly things she loves to do with.
"Come on out dear!" Juli called. A girl in a white dress opened Momo's bedroom door and smiled. Momo could not believe how beautiful she was.
"Sakura dear, this is your new sister Momo!" Juli said pulling Sakura over to Momo. Sakura gave Momo a heart-warming smile.
"Hi," Sakura stuck out her hand and Momo shook it cautiously, as if afraid she was going to get a contagious dieses. Sakura sat down next to Momo on the couch.
"So tell me, what kind of things do you like to do?" She asked sweetly.
"Well, I love hanging out with my friends ('And Boyfriend' Momo whispered, so her Mom couldn't hear), going to the mall. You know, just typical girl stuff." Sakura nodded.
"I know were going t be the greatest of friends!"
-----------------------------
It turned out that Sakura was actually a little older than Momo. She shared the room with her and all that great stuff. However, Momo found out that having a sister was not as great as she thought. Sakura was always fighting for Juli's attention, and she won. Her Daddy gave her all the attention and it was starting to hurt, badly.
"Mom!" Momo cried. Juli turned and smiled.
"What is it Saku- Oh my! Momo! What is it darling?" Momo's heart dropped a few meters.
"I feel like im not getting an attention." Juli frowned.
"Alright then! We were going out for dinner tonight anyways. I thought it might be a good chance for us to all talk." Momo grinned.
"Can Jr come?" She pleaded.
"Alright. Have him bring his friends so Saki can see them." Momo titled her head.
"Who's Saki?" Juli covered her mouth.
"Its Sakura's cutie little pet name I gave her. I can call you Mo if you want!" Juli tried to make Momo feel more 'wanted' but even a blind person could see that she was not helping at all.
"No thanks." Juli nodded and returned to washing the dishes. Momo ran up to her room to call Jr, but Sakura was already there.
"Need some privacy?" She asked. Momo nodded and Sakura left the room. Momo dialed Jr's number and waited for him to answer.
"Hey Jr," Momo said. Jr sighed.
"Its great to hear from you. I heard your mom adopted a girl!" I said.
"Yea, her name is Sakura and she's a little older than me. Mom wants to know if you guys could come to dinner with us, Shion, Chad and the others to."
"Great! Ill call them." Jr hung up and Momo fell onto her pink and white covers. It wasn't five minuets before Jr called again and said everyone could come. Momo went to the kitchen and told her Mom the good news, which passed it on to Sakura. When 8:00 rolled around everyone was sitting in one of the local restaurants. Since it was not fancy, Gaignun looked out of place with his fancy suit.
"Good to meet you Sakura, im Rubedo, but you can call me Jr. Over there is Albedo, my sister Kirsch, Shion, Chad, Ryan, Gavin, Miyuki and Allen." Sakura waved and smiled to each person. They all started to ask where Sakura had come from, and what she liked to do. Momo turned her head, feeling left out. Jr noticed this and said, "I bet Momo is the greatest sister and girl could have right?" He asked Sakura.
"Of course!" Sakura agreed. The food they ordered came and everyone talked and had a wonderful time, even Gaignun who didn't know how to eat a Hamburger. After everyone had started to leave Sakura caught Jr's arm.
"Hey, I noticed that you really like my sister right?" She asked. Jr blushed and nodded.
"Yu better not hurt her or im gonna come and get you!" She laughed. Jr gave an uneasy chuckle and Sakura gave him a peck on the cheek and ran off. He stared at her run off.
"Huh?" was all he could say. When Momo caught wind of what Sakura did she got furious.
"You did WHAT?" Momo screamed.
"Where I come from, you give a person a peck on the cheek after talking!" Sakura yelled. Momo's temper fell and she nodded.
"You like him a lot dontcha?"
"Yea, he is the greatest guy alive!" Momo giggled. The next couple of days went by fine, but by the end of the week, a new girl had emerged at school and her name was Sakura. Everyone now pays Sakura more attention than Momo, thankfully not Jr though! How will Momo deal?
