Hey Ppls! I've been busy so I couldn't update. I got my hair did too! Too bad that West Indian woman at the hair dressers took no mercy on me! I was so twitchy too! Well whatever at least I look good.

Luvz Fluffy-sama-Thank you very much! Yup and I'm probably gonna have to e-mail you about some terms and stuff. I got Uo-chans name from the official site or whatever so I have no idea what it is now! For now I'll just call her Uo-chan or Uotani.

Yukyori- You kinda sound like me on coffee! (Ashy if you read this I'm not on it again! Honestly! twitches) I forgot that there is a Sohma Hiro! I like that name Hiro so the random dude isn't the same person… It would be funny if he came out of no where though…

Panpan- Did you ever go to Caribana in Toronto? It's really fun! And you go eat those dumplings! It's all good! But my mom is gonna make me make some for Easter.

Disclaimer: I only own characters that are not from Fruits Basket. I own my sandwich though… and no I'm not a hobo…It would be kinda cool if I was though… Sittin at the corner scarin ppl to give me money…

My Bootleg Life and Astrological Signs

I saw the driver dude, who was waiting for me and went home. On the way, there I found out his name. His name is Chosokabe Rui. So I should call him 'Chosokabe-san.' When I got inside I saw Mei.

"Good Afternoon, Matsumoto-san" Mei greeted warmly.

"Uh, Mei-san? You can call me Nomi instead. And Good Afternoon to you too." I said.

"Okay, Nomi-chan" Mei replied.

"Thank you" I said.

Mei and I then had some long conversation about school. Yes I said school. Ah the drama of my old school. Who had beef with whom. Who cheated with whose boyfriend. Ah good times. Valencia and I would just site back and watch the drama unfold before our eyes.

I excused myself to go do some homework like the good girl I am. I stepped into my room and was wowed. How could I not notice the beauty of it? I must of had really had bad jetlag and I'm not really a morning person. I must of went to sleep at four in the afternoon yesterday… Well anyhoo, this room had sliding doors…. But it had a fabric hanging down from the ceiling, like medieval style. Also it was attached to the chandelier. The fabric colour scheme was light blues and turquoise. The bed was one of those princess beds with a canopy! This room also had one of those walk in closest! I always wanted one of those. I think it's a bit too grand! It looks fit for royalty!

Mom and I lived in a five bedroom house. But, mom ran a bed and breakfast, so it was really like it was a two bedroom house…Well on with this story! Since I was a nosy little cow, well crab, I found that all my clothes had already been unpacked, plus with the other things that were shipped. All my clothes barely even fit in half the closet! Note to self: Leave thank you note or get a thank you gift for Mei for making my stay here pleasant.

I went on the computer that was hidden in one of those closets to make it look you know nice. It was one of the newest LCD screen computers with a brand new hard drive and keyboard. I turned it on and there was a note on the start up screen that said "Every student needs a home computer, if you need a laptop later on, I'll buy you one, Enjoy from Dad." Aww isn't that just sweet. But, I think he's trying to buy my love. But still my room is so... so... uh SEXY! That's the only word I can think of at the moment to describe it. Let's just say I was wowed.

Back at my mom's house the computer was five years old…ancient in computer years. I went online MSN messenger. Of course Valencia was online. But, isn't it like 3 am or school time there? She's probably chatting up in computer class when she should be typing. Oh well! As long as she doesn't get caught, it's fine by me. I looked at the screen.

( f )Valencia ( f ) says:

I miss you! Everythin sux! Im chattin in class! U cow! U betta come home soon!

Know me? Nomi says:

I miss you too but get a hold of urself woman! I'll eventually scam u a ticket to come and visit me! Like I said be4 u wont believe how loaded Haruko is.

( f )Valencia ( f ) says:

r u eva gonna call him dad or wateva?

Know me? Nomi says:

…

( f )Valencia ( f ) says:

Oh shoot! This stupid cow of a woman is commin by me! Ttyl caiu

Aww she went offline. Thinking about back home it reminded me that I forgot to call my mother! Well I didn't really forget it just kind of slipped my mind. I am that oblivious sometimes…But she'll be angry! What if she turns into the Incredible Hulk again? So I took a deep breath and called. She was suspiciously un angry. She kinda sounded mello.

"Mom are you on drugs?" I asked and sounded disgusted.

It turned out that my dad called from work yesterday while I was passed out.

"That's lovely" I said un-assuringly.

"You know he loves you. Your like… like…like a precious diamond to him." Mom said very charismatically.

"Ya… Okay Ma." There was a knock at the door. "Mommy I gotta go" I said. I'm almost sixteen and I still call her mommy! Muhahaha!

"I love you and have fun!" She said.

"I'll try! I love you too! Bye" I said as I hung up.

"Come in" I yelled. I don't like yelling it's so un-civilized. Haha.

I emptied the contents of my schoolbag in a corner on the floor. It was my first day of school not to mention in a new country and I already had enough homework. They took no mercy on me! I turned around and it happened to be Haruko. I glanced at my alarm clock it happened to be 7:00pm. Shouldn't he be at work?

"So, Haruko, what's up? I asked as I sat on my bed. He was holding a small cloth bag, it kinda reminded me of the Sephora one.

"I had a tough day at the office but I went out and bought you this" He said as he handed me the bag.

"Thank you" I mumbled as I opened it.

In it was the cutest little frosted candy pink camera cell phone. It had a pink crystal hello kitty phone strap attached to it. I was shocked. This phone must have been worth 650 Canadian. I never had a cell phone before. Mom said something about me not being able to pay a phone bill… So I had to squeal. I started to run around the room and I hugged my dad even if I didn't like him. I was that excited. Then he told me that there's supposed to be a credit card in there too. My face went blank like a sheet of paper! I felt so overwhelmed. He said he had to go.

"Before I forget, it's attached to my account and you have a 1 740 500 yen limit. That's about 20 000 dollars Canadian." He said as he left the room.

Now, that is what set me off. Never get my emotions so mixed up because that is what caused me to change. If you were me you would have changed too.

"Eep!" I screamed.

My dad came rushing back to see what was wrong. Mei came rushing in too.

My clothes (I was still in my school uniform) were on the ground around me. I looked up at Mei and Haruko.

"Naomi? How did you change? Is there a guy in here?" He asked while checking under my bed as Mei picked me up.

"Uh Matsumoto-sama? Where do I put here?" Mei asked. So I guess she knew… But dad- I mean Haruko was still looking for the 'guy'. So at least he cared…

"Yo, dad? You can stop looking for guys! I changed because I was emotionally overwhelmed." I wined. Why I was whining I don't know. I guess it was because I was a petit six-centimetre brownish, rusty red, orange crab! I felt so venerable! So I hid in my shell. Ah, it's nice having a house on my back. But wait a minute! I just called him dad! Out loud! My bad! Thank ness I was hiding in my shell.

He picked me off of Mei's hand. He told me to come out and kissed me on my shell. Aww! A Kodak moment! But it was kinda weird that he kissed a crab.

"I love you, Naomi, but I could never hug you in your normal form or you would change." He said softly.

"Meep!" I had absolutely no comment to that but I had to say something. Yup and he cannot poof into anything. I feel like I'm in Harry Potter for some reason. All this magic business.

"Matsumoto-sama, Naomi-chan is going to change soon" Mei said worrily.

"Oh yeah! Don't you have to go to work?" I asked. He handed me to Mei.

"Bye" Mei and I said while I was waving my claw. Ya I'm a dangerous lil' crab! Ya dun know!

"I'll see you later" Haruko said as he left.

"Mei-san? Can you put me down before Ipoof.

Mei turned around while I quickly put on my clothes.

"Gomen!" I said. That must have been embarrassing for her too.

"Ki-ni shinaide, You should be doing your school work!" Mei scolded.

"Hai, your right! Thanks for reminding me!" I said while starting it.

Mei left. After I finished my homework (it took so long!) Then I joined Mei for dinner, took a bath and went to sleep

Ah, what a day! I thought while drifting of into a deep slumber.

To be continued…

Another chapter done! I've been typin for at least 4 hours (with 2 or more 30 minute breaks)! I feel like I made an accomplishment! I feel so positive so now I'm gonna tell you all a some of the stuff I want to put in my next chapters.

Nomi making Haru go 'black'

makeovers (Queer eye for the straight guy music comes on) did anyone ever watch clone high before? Remember that make over episode? That was funny!

maybe even make Nomi steal some clothing from 2 characters I like (I always wanted to do that there clothes look too hott!)

Well anyways I bid you all adieu!
