(( Hello people once again! Next coming up is Chapter Five, correct? I think so anyway. And yes Midnight, William and Matthew will have their turn at the spotlight, but they have no idea about fashion sense now do they? Yeah! Someone I don't know reviewed! Thank you Beastboy! –smiles- I knew someone would do it! Anyway, on with Chapter Five: Trinity's Mother Appears! ))
Miro and Bry had returned back to their farm houses, both teenager's parents having something to say about the bandaging. Both said that they were smashed with a Piano, and Miro's parents really believed it. As for Bryson, Brian did, but Muffy only gave her son a look that said to him 'What?'. After dinner, both Bry and Miro went to bed early for once, which both parents were a bit surprised about. They did have to be ready if Lumina was attempted to attack them with another object. 0.o Anyway, both awoke at sunrise, at about the same time, which was freaky.
Bry finally got out of bed without Muffy's help, being greeted by Veloci with a plain cluck, who had returned in the middle of the night for some strange reason. Freaky black chicken. Bry didn't bother to ask Veloci though. He didn't see why Veloci would even answer. Or how Veloci would even answer in the first place. Quickly getting dressed and brushing his teeth and combing his hair, he decided to take breakfast on the go. Muffy, worried about this, protested," Oh come on Bry. You need to have something to eat before you go out."
Bry sighed, replying," No I don't Mom. I'm fine."
Brian agreed with his son, looking to his wife," Bry can take care of himself. He just has to go over to his girlfriend's house right now."
Bry glared," What was that Dad?"
Brian looked to Bry," Just saying. I never knew anyone who would go to a girl's house so many times. You stayed over there for a while yesterday, and even longer the day before that."
Bry gave a cold glare at Brian, narrowing his eyes," She's not my girlfriend! I can hang out at a girl's house if I want to!"
Muffy looked to Bry, looking up from her cooking of eggs, fresh from Clucky the chicken," I wouldn't exactly call that a house dear. She lives in a mansion Bry."
Bry rolled his eyes," Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I'm off."
Muffy sighed, taking out something from the fridge, she tossed the item to Bry, who caught it just before it hit the floor," Here's breakfast. Take it with you Bry. I worry about you not getting enough to eat."
Bry looked at the item. It was a light green colour, and had black letters printed on it. It was very squishy, like yogurt, as he read on the side aloud," Go-Gurt? What the hell is Go-Gurt?"
Brian eyed the squishy item that was in Bry's hands, then looked to Muffy," Where'd you get that?"
Muffy blushed scarlet," Can't a woman get some food from the city once in a while?" She then turned back to cooking the eggs, her back to the two guys," I eat yogurt. It's good and has barely any fat in it. But now look! I found out that that come in little squirt packages to come with you! And no spoon!" She then took one out of the fridge, opening it, she began to squeeze the yogurt into her mouth, and swallowed with a large smile," Oh! Cotton Candy! It's just like that product of butter!" She took out a container of butter," I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!"
Brian and Bry snickered, looking at the butter container, which Muffy observed. Bry then replied," It is butter Mom."
Muffy looked to Bry and Brian," No stupid. That's the name of the brand! Anyway…" She threw Bry another Go-Gurt. " Just incase you get any hungrier."
Bry started plainly at the two squirtable packages of yogurt in his hands before stuffing them both in his pocket, grinning," Don't worry Mom. Anyway, I'll be going. See ya!" he said, walking out the door.
Brian and Muffy smiled as Bry walked out the door. Once he had left, Muffy cringed. Brian looked at her strangely," What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
Muffy sighed sadly," We forgot to ask Bry to groom the animals."
Brian sighed as well," Meaning we're doing it huh?"
" Yes."
Bry walked down the path, as usual, towards where Miro lived. Stopping at the pasture fence, he watched boredly as Miro was grooming his Pinto Mei Lin. Bry then remembered he was supposed to be doing the grooming today of the animals, and shuddered. He knew how bad Muffy got pissed when she got dirty. Veloci suddenly appeared next to Bry in a flash, causing him to widen his eyes," You teleport or what?"
Veloci looked up at Bry, gave a shrugging motion with his wings, and crowed loudly.
Bry looked to Veloci," So, what are you trying to do? Get Miro's chickens to become an army for you or what against Trinity's dog?" He added a laugh at the end of this," I don't think Miro's chickens will allow you to be their leader."
Veloci looks to Bry, raising an eyebrow if chickens had such eyebrows. Veloci then jumped onto the fence, standing high on the fence. Miro, at hearing Veloci crow, turned to look at Veloci. He raised an eyebrow, then looked to Bry," What's your rooster doing Bry?"
Bry looked towards Miro," I think he's trying to get your chickens to become his army or something. I'm doubting it will work."
Miro smirks and grins," Yeah. He can't beat Miroku. He's the Alpha Male."
Bry asks," Aren't those only for wolves?"
Miro sighs," Actually, yeah, but what are you going to call the lead Chicken?"
" Lead Rooster?"
" Whatever."
Veloci glared at the two boys, then began to preen his dark black feathers. He then began to flap his wings, and took off into the sky, soaring like an eagle. Miro watched, surprised, as well as Bry, though he had seen it when Veloci gave Frisky a bath.
" Since when can chickens fly?" Miro asked Bry, a bit freaked out.
" Since the movie Chicken Run? I don't know. Veloci is some kind of god-chicken. He has powers a normal chicken wouldn't have."
Miro smirked," Sure Bry. Anyway, get whatever his name is to quit it. He'll upset Totosai." Totosai, the normal coloured cow, at hearing her name, turned her head with a blank look on her face. She then looked up, eyes widening at seeing the flying rooster. She then went back to grazing.
Bry replied," I can't. He's up there, remember?" he replied, pointing towards where Veloci was now, soaring over the chickens, who all looked up. The ducks looked up as well, staring.
Veloci crowed, blood red eyes narrowing towards the chickens. He crowed loudly, a challenge to the so called 'leader' of these chickens.
A white Rooster stood there by the name of Miroku, the same name from Inuyasha of the pervert. Miroku answered the call back, saying he was the one that was the leader of these chickens. He gave a crow.
Veloci smirked, eyeing Miroku as if this were no challenge at all. Opening his beak, he crowed as loud as he could, visible waves of sound aiming towards Miroku. Miroku's eyes grew wide, as he ducked into the pasture grass, dodging the blast. Miroku then jumped onto a fence, and gave a warning. Veloci could only smirk again, his beak opening once again, firing his sound waves at Miroku. Miroku, sadly, was not able to dodge this one. It knocked him head one, sending him flying off the fence and threw a building, landing into one of the Banana Trees growing. He laid there motionless, hanging from a limb of the tree. Veloci crowed happily in victory, landing on the fence, he went to preening his feathers, as though nothing had even happened.
Miro and Bry stared for a few moments, Miro the first to speak," Miroku!" he cried out, running over to the Banana Tree. He climbed the tree easily, grabbing the Rooster, he checked for a heart beat," Luckily, he's alive. He's just unconscious."
Bry turned his gaze towards Veloci, who was being inspected by the chickens, more likely stared at. He only said this," You're coming with us pal."
It took a while to actually pick Veloci up, but Bry managed to after Miro made sure Miroku was actually alright. Heading down towards the mansion, Bry kept a grip on Veloci, who didn't look too happy. He stared boredly out in front of him, giving a cluck as a large rock came in view, Bry able to avoid it so he wouldn't trip over it and fall. " Yeah, I can see Veloci. You aren't the only one with eyes pal." Bry said flatly, looking at Veloci.
Veloci crowed in a laughing manner, as Bry resisted the urge to strangle the chicken right then and now. Bry then looked to Miro, walking beside him," So, are you entering the Chicken Festival Miro?" Bry asked.
Miro nodded," Yeah, if your Rooster didn't kill Miroku. He was the one I'm gonna enter. I already did though, about a week ago."
Bry's eyes widened," How did you enter your chicken in so early?" he asked. " No one has come around to ask me."
" Dad called Mineral Town, and Rick came over. What really sucked was that Rick was in a bad mood when he came over. But of course, you can't expect him to be. He's old now. Plus, you can't just say 'I want to enter my Rooster Miroku in the Chicken Festival'. Rick actually has to come all the way here and see him personally. Nami argued with him for a while, but Rick continued to insist, so he came."
Bry stomped his foot down," Damn it! I was going to enter Veloci in it! He would've won too! Maybe Rick can still come! It's only morning."
Miro shrugged," Maybe, but it's a day's journey to reach here. Better call him quick."
Bry made a dash towards the phone in the Inn, and quickly called the Poultry Farm in Mineral Town. A flat voice answered after it rang a few times," Hello, this is the Poultry Farm. We're not here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEP."
Bry muttered," I know that's you Rick."
" Damn it. I thought
I would trick someone eventually." Rick muttered," So, how can I
help you? That you Bry?"
Bry replied," Yeah, this is Bry.
Anyway, I wanted to enter my Rooster into the Chicken Festival. Do
you think you can come over as soon as possible and check out my
chicken so I can enter him?"
Rick let out a sigh," A bit late aren't you Bry? I don't know if I can make it. My ankle got burnt when I tried to get up."
Bry replied flatly," You were staring at the fireplace again and saying that Kai was horrible as usual huh?"
" Oh shut it. Just because Popuri got married to Kai doesn't mean I'm not jealous."
" Karen left you huh?"
" No she didn't! Anyway, I don't know if I'll be able to make it. Forget-Me-Not Valley is a long way from here. And my burnt ankle doesn't help."
" You were sitting by the fireplace with no socks on?" Bry asked.
" My feet were cold. Popuri pushed me into the river, and I flowed down the river for over a mile."
A loud girly voice was heard in the background," YOU CAN GO TO THE VALLEY! YOU'RE FINE!"
Bry replied at the scream," That Popuri?"
Rick muttered," Yeah. She comes over here for Summer sometimes. Luckily, her daughter Ricca lives here with us. I think Kai might move over here though, actually move, not visit."
Bry answered," I'm thinking you're pissed then eh?"
Rick replied," Yeah. I can hardly stand him for one Season, but for the whole year? A living hell. Anyway, I'll see if I can make it. I'll leave now. See you soon, I hope." Rick hung up the phone.
Bry sighed in relief, finally realizing Veloci was still in his hands, and not looking too happy right now. Bry smiled at Veloci," You're going to enter the Chicken Festival tomorrow!" He then set the phone down and exited the Inn, meeting Miro, who was tapping his foot boredly, waiting for Bry.
" So, is Rick coming?" Miro asked.
Bry grinned widely," He says he's leaving now."
Miro looked to his fingers, counting," Then he should be here by…about three in the morning, if he doesn't sleep on the way here. That gives up just enough time to get to Mineral Town if we ride horseback. I'll be taking Greaser, and you're probably taking Jeromaru right? If Trinity comes along, then who will she ride?"
Bry shrugged," Probably Rikku. She loves people, and is nice and smooth."
Miro nodded," Okay then. I just hope she can ride well enough to keep up with is. We were almost born in the saddle. Well, anyway, let's only worry about that if Trinity is allowed to come. Maybe Trinity's mom won't come today. Maybe she won't come until next week!"
Bry nodded," Maybe. Anyway, let's go." They began walking again towards Trinity's mansion, finally reaching the door. Bry gulped, and looked to Miro," You open the door, okay?"
Miro rolled his eyes," I bet Trinity's mom isn't even here. Trinity was probably just trying to fool us or something." Miro rang the doorbell, which resulted in a long, deep ding-dong. Miro smirked, looking at Bry," Told you she wouldn't be here."
Just then, the door opened, not revealing Mrs. Smith or Trinity, or even Sparky. In their places was a tall woman, who looked only in her twenties, but had to be over thirty or in her mid-thirties. Not one wrinkle stood on her face, which was smooth and slightly tanned, which was strange for a woman from London, which was never warm. Her hair was golden blonde, and was in a high ponytail that fell half way down her straight back, with her bangs, incredibly long, on the sides of her face, framing it. Her eyes were sapphire coloured, and sparkled. She wore a long dark blue dress that reached almost to the floor, with white cuffs and sleeves that reached her long and delicate fingers with French manicures. She wore black heels, only increasing her already tall height. She wasn't incredibly tall, but was around the average height. She spoke dignified, like she was superior to everyone around her. " Who are you two boys? I don't remember inviting any boys around here."
Bry and Miro's mouth hung out, staring at the woman. Bry was the one to speak after a minute or so of staring," Are you Trinity's mother?" he asked.
The woman raised an eyebrow," Yes, I am Trinity's mother. But how do you know my daughter?" she asked suspiciously. For some strange reason, she did not have the thick English accent like Trinity had. She had a regular accent, like an American one.
Bry whistled," Ummmm. Well, she kinda busted my window while I was hanging out with my pal Miro here. She has this dog named Sparky, and she kinda threw the Frisbee too hard, and it busted my bedroom window. Anyway, I'm Bry, and I live over there." He said, pointing towards the farm near the river.
Miro spoke next," And I'm Miro, and I live over there, on that farm." He said, pointing towards the farm near the forest.
The woman smirked," Farms? Like with farm animals, like chickens and goats?"
Bry nodded," Actually, yeah. I don't have a goat though. We have chickens though."
The woman broke out into laughter," I can't believe you two were born to a bunch of farmers! We never have farmers where I come from! I come from the city, not some ugly village."
Bry glared," Hey! This isn't some ugly village! You just moved here!"
Miro agreed," Yeah! How would you know?!"
The woman smirked, and stopped laughing," Farmers are just poor people who grow plants and such. Anyway, since you two introduced yourselves, I shall introduce myself. I am Serenity Foreman, supermodel and actress from Hollywood, California."
Bry raised an eyebrow," What is Hollywood?"
Miro also asked," What's California? And thanks to us, you get to eat! Farmers are the ones who grow your food!"
Serenity giggled," Yes, I suppose you farmers do that sort of thing, don't you? Well my dear Trinity will not become any farmer."
Bry glared," We didn't ask her to become a farmer! We're just her new friends! And do you know you have the world-famous Mario cooking in your kitchen? What'd you do, kidnap him? Or is Bowser working for you now?"
Miro joined in," Guess Bowser isn't the top dog anymore, eh?"
Serenity narrowed her eyes, glaring so coldly, that you could cut the air with a knife. Of course, you would need a sharp knife to cut through ice, but still. " Did you just insult me? No one dares insult Serenity Foreman of Hollywood!"
Bry growled," Just watch us!"
Miro nodded," Yeah!"
Veloci crowed, pecking Serenity's sleeve.
Serenity screamed," A chicken! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME THIS INSTANT! THIS WAS A CUSTOM MADE DESIGNER DRESS ALL THE WAY FROM LAS VEGAS OF NEVADA!"
Bry asked," What's Las Vegas?"
" What's Nevada?" Miro asked.
" Quit it Mummy!" screamed a voice, as Bry, Miro, and Serenity turned to look to who it was. Standing there was Trinity, not looking too happy either. She was in her schooling outfit, Lumina standing beside her. " I heard all this commotion, and here are all three of you, fighting!" She then stomped over, Lumina following behind her.
She gave a bow of her head to Serenity," Hello Ms. Foreman. I am Lumina, the tutor of Miss Trinity."
Serenity looked to Lumina," I see. Well, you're clothing may not be this century, but you are a nice looking young woman." She then turned her gaze towards her daughter," Trinity! Are these two boys your friends? You couldn't ever be friends with these two boys, could you?" she asked.
Trinity stared down at the ground, and kicked the sand with her foot, placing her hands behind her back. She thought for a moment, then looked back up," Actually, I am Mummy. I am friends with Bry and Miro."
Bry and Miro sighed in relief, but Serenity didn't look happy at all one bit. She then glared towards Bry and Miro," Well, leave now!"
Bry looked confused and puzzled," But we were going to ask her something!"
Miro nodded," Actually, it was more to her mother, because she said you wouldn't let her."
Serenity glared," So, what is it that you wanted to ask me?"
" They wanted to ask you to see if Trinity could come to the Chicken Festival." Came a girlish voice from behind them.
" Yes, I suppose they did, hmmm?"
Bry and Miro turned around, to see Nami and Muffy, standing there behind them. Bry and Miro gasped," Mom?" they said in unison.
Muffy smiled," The one and only!"
Nami merely nodded, crossing her arms. Much to her style that was.
Bry asked," Why are you two here anyway?"
Muffy replied," Well, I heard a scream come from this way. I thought it was you Bry, so I came running."
Nami then looked to Serenity," But I guess it was only her."
Serenity growled," What do you mean only her? I am famous I'll have you know!"
Muffy joined in," And you think we care? We heard someone yelling, and it must have been you! You better have not been yelling at my son!"
Nami agreed," Or mine either."
Serenity crossed her arms," I have every right. These two are supposed to be my daughter's friends, but I know Trinity would have chosen someone else! I raised her that way to choose her friends wisely! But a bunch of boys! I won't stand for it!" Serenity protested.
Nami smirked," Look here hon. I'm sure Trinity can choose her own friends."
Muffy nodded," And you shouldn't be the one doing so!"
Serenity growled, then stuck her nose into the air," Well, I won't be having my daughter going to some Chicken Festival or whatever it is! Suppose she gets hurt! It sounds horrible!"
Bry and Miro snickered, and stepped away from Serenity, letting their mothers take a step closer.
Trinity watched helplessly, sighing and she stared at the ground.
Muffy laughed," Are you kidding me? It's a huge social event in Mineral Town! Everyone comes! Even girls. They all have a fun time at it! Plus, there are girls that are around Trinity's age there! If you want her to have friends who are girls and around her age, I suggest letting her go."
Serenity bit her lower lip in frustration, not finding anything else to say. She sighed long and hard," I guess she can go. But how will she get there?"
Trinity then stepped in," I can ride one of their horses."
Serenity sighed, crossing her arms," Fine. She can go. But if anything happens to her." She growled, looking over to Bry and Miro.
" Don't worry." Nami said coolly," Bry and Miro will keep an eye on her. If they don't…" she said, looking to Bry and Miro.
Bry backed away a bit," Don't worry. We'll look after her."
Serenity sighed in relief," Well, okay then. But all of you, get off my property right now. I will not baby-sit a bunch of teenagers in my house. I'll be sure to send Trinity over early in the morning."
Miro said," About four will do good. That way we have enough time to eat before the Festival starts at 10:00am."
Serenity nodded," At four in the morning. Now, goodbye." She said, walking inside.
Trinity grinned widely," Oh good! I'll see you guys tomorrow! Bye!" she smiled, walking in behind her mother.
Lumina looked towards Bry and Miro," I wish I could come along. But I can't sadly. More Piano practice tomorrow." She then smiled," Well, goodbye as well." And shut the door behind her.
Bry and Miro high-fived each other in triumph.
Muffy and Nami then began to walk down the path, talking to each other in a whisper, so low that Bry and Miro couldn't hear, who were behind them about three yards.
" I'm starving." Miro admitted, his stomach growling.
Bry took out his two Go-Gurts, and gave one to Miro, opening his with his teeth, he began to eat it," This is pretty good."
Miro nodded, after opening his and tasting it," Sure is. What is this stuff anyway?"
" Go-Gurt." Bry grinned. Both of them laughed as they walked down the street, happy that their new friend Trinity was coming along with them tomorrow.
