HEY! I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT! I was working, decorating for Christmas, celebrating my birthday, cooking and baking and everything! It was all crazy! But I managed to get all of this done. But it will be a while to post the next one if I gotta keep working which is ridiculous.
Anyways, please leave positive reviews and I will continue this!
"So your not being punished for having detention?"
"No, mom punished my dad because he's been obsessed with the project that he's getting consequences."
"Oh..."
Phoebe had just opened up her laptop and then skyped Kyle online.
"How was the science club?"
"Actually it was cancelled," Kyle replied.
"What?" Phoebe was now shocked. "Weren't they going to experiment with magnets today?"
Kyle frowned on her computer screen and sighed, "Not only it was cancelled... They're taking it out of the clubs and activities. The school board is disbanding it."
"Are you kidding me?!" She is now angry. "Why would they do that?!"
"Well, rumor has it that the dean is part of the school board. I think he persuaded them to do that."
Phoebe shouts, "I can't believe he would do that to us!"
"I have absolutely no idea what that guy's problem is! What a son of a bitch," Kyle said very ticked off.
Just then Phoebe heard, "Mommy! Kyle said the B word!"
"Shut up Lucy, and stay out of my room!" He yells at his little sister and Phoebe hears footsteps running out the door.
Just then the computer rings and Phoebe sees an call wanting to join.
"Oh, it's Michael. I promised to let him know about the new batman issue."
Just as she was about to say something. Michael's face appeared on the screen with posters behind him.
"Hey, when's it coming out?" Michael asked putting on his headphones that are connected to the laptop.
"It should be out by Saturday at the comic book store," Kyle replied. "Maybe we can get Jeremy on here and see what he thinks. By the way, can I stay over at your place on Friday? My sister is having a slumber party at mine and I really don't want to show up in it."
"Yeah, my sister is going there too," Phoebe said.
"Ok, sure. I'll let my parents know," Michael said.
Just then they heard off screen, "NEIL MICHAEL WOLOWITZ! I WANT YOU TO FOLD THIS WASH AND THEN DO THE DISHES! YOUR SISTER IS VISITING THIS WEEKEND, SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT INVITING YOUR FRIENDS!"
After hearing his mother's voice, he then said, "Change of plans…"
"Then I'm calling Jeremy." Kyle then adds their friend to the Skype chat. And another screen appeared.
A slightly nerdy kid greets, "Hello, Kyle, Michael… Phoebe."
"Hey Jeremy," Phoebe says waving with a smile.
Kyle asked, "Jeremy, can I spend the night at your place on Friday? My sister is inviting her friends and I refuse to be in the same house as them."
"I really don't know of that's possible. I was going to ask Kiara out."
Kyle groaned and Michael watches as he folds his wash.
"In fact I was going to add her into the chat right now," Jeremy finishes and then adds another screen to the chat.
"Hello boys," a teenage Indian girl greets while straightening her hair, "And girl."
"Hey Kiara," Phoebe waves.
"How's it going?" Jeremy asked.
"Ugh. Two tests today, a dance rehearsal and a short shift at Mocha Mama, I feel like my hair would start falling out."
"Never knew a preppy popular rich girl would be working at that lame coffee shop that's ten times less exciting than Starbucks," Michael said with sarcasm.
Kiara scoffed, "Oh please, I tried there, didn't hire me. Mocha Mama is literally the closest thing to a Starbucks where I can do my skills as a dancing barista! I hope to open my cafe like this where there are dancing baristas."
"Seriously though, why even have a job anyhow?" Phoebe asked her.
"Daddy cut my off weeks ago. I spent $400 on shoes."
The guys all groaned and Kiara says, "What? A girl's gotta have a nice new pair."
"Anyways," Jeremy asked, "Kiara? Are you free on Friday night?"
Kiara shook her head, "I wish. I have a major shift at the shop. Sorry."
Jeremy leans back and sighs, "So… Kyle, we're still on Friday?"
"Yeah, sure,"
Jeremy said glumly. "Um. I'm gonna go. See you tomorrow… Well… Bye." And he left the chat.
Kiara puts down her hair straightener and says hurriedly, "Alright guys, I really have to go. Chloe wants to FaceTime with me. See ya!" And with that, she left the chat too.
Phoebe sighed sadly, "I'm just so mad about the science club. I can't believe he took it down."
"Oh yeah, I heard. That was horrible," Michael said continuing to fold his clothes. "One last thing in my senior year to be ruined. First my date rejection to Fall Formal, now this?"
Kyle nodded. "This is just crap. So ridiculous."
"We really have to do something about it," Phoebe said. "Maybe my father can help. I'll ask him later. We'll all group together and discuss it."
"Agreed," Kyle said.
"Hear hear," Michael says as well.
"MICHAEL! YOU GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE AND DO THE DISHES!"
"YES MOM! I WILL DO IT! I'M JUST TALKING TO MY FRIENDS RIGHT NOW!" Michael yells back at his mother.
"DO NOT USE THAT TONE AT YOUR MOTHER! YOU'LL BE TAKING OUT THE TRASH TOO INCLUDING THAT MOUTH!"
Michael then groans exhaustedly before telling his friends. "Sorry you both had to hear that." And with that, he turns off his screen.
Now once again, it was just Kyle and Phoebe.
"So… It's just us again…" He starts sounding a little awkward.
She chuckles, "Yeah…"
Kyle cleared his throat and straightened his glasses and asked, "Um… Since your not grounded after all, is it alright to grab a bite and see a movie on Friday? Just the two of us?"
Just as she was about to answer that request…
Knock Knock Knock. "Phoebe?" Knock Knock Knock. "Phoebe?" Knock Knock Knock. "Phoebe?"
Phoebe sighs looking at her door and back to the computer. "Hang on. I gotta go Kyle. See you tomorrow!"
"Oh… Ok-" Phoebe turned her computer off and closed it. She shouted, "Come in!"
Her bedroom door opened revealing Sheldon.
"Hello princess."
"Hi daddy."
Sheldon came over to sit on the edge of Phoebe's bed and starts, "Well… Your mother told me everything that happened."
"Yeah…"
"And I apologize for putting you through all of this… But I needed someone like you to guard my experiment," her father said.
"It's alright," she sighs, "I just want to get to school on time. Are we going back to Caltech tonight? I hope not."
"No. Not this time. It's a dead end Phoebe."
Phoebe can see the sadness in her father's face. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright. Your mother also forced me to make a promise with you that we'll not be out late doing projects again. So I promise that we'll not be out late doing projects again," Sheldon said.
"Ok."
He gave her a kiss on the head.
"I wanted to tell you something actually dad," Phoebe starts explaining. "It's about the-"
"Father?" Alex appeared in the doorway. "I want you to check my thesis and see what you think, can you do it now please?"
Sheldon replied, "I will Alex. I'll be right back princess."
Just then Emma came rushing to the door. "Daddy! Can you help me with my english homework? I have a little trouble with the report for a new book the teacher gave me."
"Alright. After I'm done with Alex," Sheldon said getting up and leaving. "I'll talk to you later, ok Phoebe?"
She nodded and Sheldon closes her bedroom door. She looks at the clock seeing that she has an hour before her nightly rituals. She shrugged to herself deciding to go to bed already if she wants to go to school the next morning on time for once. So got ready for bed, pajamas on, teeth brushed and face washed.
She crawled into bed with many thoughts of the entire day. But only one thought was on her mind.
"What project was daddy doing?"
