Chapter 10: Ya'll play to much
Up the stairs went Tohru to the telephone Natalie pointed out before going to confront Mercedes; she dialed the number and waited for the phone to be answered. "It's rainin' men hallelujah, its rainin' men, Amen," she sang while the phone ringed.
The phone was finally answered but a strange voice came out of it "Hello, welcome to good burger home of the good burger can I take your order."
"Sorry, wrong number," Tohru hung up the phone feeling a little embarrassed and redialed the right number. This time a familiar voice answered the phone "Yo, Sohma house."
"Hello Kyo, this is Tohru."
"Tohru, is something wrong?
Down Stairs in the kitchen"YOU RAISED MY PHONE BILL!" Shouted a flaming mad Mercedes "I don't have the money to pay for this!" She threw the cell and the bill at Natalie's head.
"WHY ARE YOU THROWING YOUR CELL PHONE AT ME?"
"I. have. to. pay. 300. American. Dollars."
Natalie looked at the phone bill while Mercedes was ranting "Mercedes, you wannabe automobile, you only have to pay 135 dollars. And I have to pay for 135 dollars, while Justice (Natalie's mom) has to pay 130 dollars."
"What!"
"You made a fool out of yourself," Natalie turned and left the kitchen.
Down Stairs (a few minutes back)Uo and Hanajima sat in the living room really bored and were tired of the movies and pizza. "Hey Hanajima, who do you think will get married first? Kyo and Tohru or Haru and Natalie."
"Hm, I think Kyo and Tohru would. I even put 10,000 yen on it," replied Hanajima
"Alright I'll bet 10,000 yen on Haru and Natalie."
"Looks like I have the advantage in this battle, Haru and Natalie are still in the first step of love. Friendship," said Hanajima.
"Than the second step, deeper friendship. You know best friends that will always be there for one another."
"Next step should be the Boyfriend and Girlfriend step, that's the most difficult on to get past. All the trails that happen at this level pull many couples apart. This is the level Kyo and Tohru are on. Do you ever get the feeling that they are hiding something from you even before they got together?"
"Yeah, sometimes. The next step is the engagement," said Uo."I can't wait to see a pretty rock on my left hand," said Hanajima in a dreamy state.
"It's not all about the ring, Hanajima."
"I know it's about the love that comes with it."
"What comes with what?" asked Natalie walking in from the kitchen with Mercedes right behind her. "Love comes with an engagement ring," said Uo.
"O-K, What are you taking about?" asked Natalie with Mercedes right behind her.
"The steps of love," said Hanajima "First it's friendship than best friendship."
"Than boyfriend and girlfriend than the engagement ring," said Uo "Than the marriage."
"Why are you guys talking about marriage?" asked Mercedes as everyone go comfortable again "Some of you don't even have boyfriends." By this time Tohru was finished with the phone call
"Here you go," said Natalie "come on Tohru if we got to here her talk you do to."
"What are you talking about?" asked Tohru, with a smile.
"The man I got is sexy, a leader, little on the evil side but that brings out his charm," said Mercedes.
"Mercedes, I think you need to slow it down. You sound a little horny," said Uo while the others started laughing.
"Natalie, you're my cousin. We have each others back, why are you laughing?"
"I'm sorry, it's was funny. Who is this guy anyway?"
"Um, Tohru, what is your boyfriend like?" asked Mercedes
"Fried Chicken," replied Natalie "trying to change the subject." The comment received a slap on the back of Natalie's head and Uo, Hanajima and Tohru having a giggle fit. "Aw, Mercedes what did I do?"
"Ladies, we're going to sing a song, you will catch on real quick. It goes like this."
(Mercedes starts to sing)
Ain't nothin' like a good man
Lovin' his woman and strong in his stance

Sorry for not writing in about a month, I was very busy. Being a junior in high school isn't the best thing in the world. The next chapter explains Natalie's ability to be in people's dreams, the whole thing step by step. I'm surprised no one asked about it. Hope you've enjoyed it. R&R please.
One more thing while I can remember I'm planning to write a Remix for this story and a few things will change including the beginning, the romance, and some of the funny. I want you guys to vote on it if you want to read the story. If the majority says they want to read the story than expect to see it up in June. That's when my school lets us got for the summer. I let you know by chapter 13. Remember to R&R, so the author of this story some love.
