This one-shot will be about their day at the town and Roxy and Satsuki will be in it. Only this time, Sora will start at the beginning. After this chapter is their TV show. I'll have the origins to Naruko's job here, too.
Beep Beep Beep. Sora yawned and turned the alarm clock off. She opened her eyes to see her husband Kaito stretching his arms. He opens his eyes slowly and smiles at the lovely sight in front of him.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Hey, you." The Lockhart Couple kissed each other on the lips. It was a short and sweet one, too.
"So.. what's the plan for today?" He asked.
"Well... after my job interview at Destiny Island's Grille, Naruko and I are taking the kids out for school shopping. and she's picking out outfits for the show." Sora said. "Speaking of which, since you can't shop to save your life, I'm buying your clothes as well. Since you're gonna be on TV, Not that you don't look good but you need to look Presentable." Kaito laughed and pecked his wife's cheek.
"Your right. I guess I'll stay here and write segments for our show while you ladies have fun." Sora playfully pushed her husband off the bed. She then jumps off the bed, walks to the bathroom to take her shower. After her shower, she dressed in a black suit and pants with white blouse. She puts on her makeup. She then walk downstairs to see her husband finish cooking and her two sons patiently waiting for Breakfast. Once Sora sat at the table, Kaito put the plates on the table.
"So what's cooking?" She asked.
"Eggs, Lego Waffles and sausage links." Kaito answered. Sora grinned.
"Yummy." But before she could eat a single bite. She heard her phone ring. (Her ringtone is the Avengers theme) She picked her phone out to see who's calling. She smiled at the ID. She pushed the green button and answered the Caller's name.
"Hey, Roxy." Roxy or Roxanne is Sora's younger sister. Sora is older by 4 years.
"Hey, Big sis. How was the move?" Roxanne asked from the phone.
"Not too bad." She answered. "Surprisingly we unpacked the whole house in one day."
"Cool. Did you get the job yet?"
"Not yet. I haven't even interviewed yet. Once, though I Finish my breakfast. I'll be on my way." Sora answered.
"You'll get it. After all, you were the best cook in your last job at the bistro." She told her big sister. Sora beamed.
"You're right. After all cooking is my passion." She said as she kissed the air. "So how is the new mama feeling?"
"Oh... Mika is such a sweetheart... when she's not crying at 3 A.M."
"Oh.. I know what that's like." Sora giggled as she put her hand on forehead.
"But it's an experience I would not trade for anything else in the world. Namanine and I are blessed to have such a wonderful daughter."
"Yeah." Sora looked at the clock and read it was 10:30.
"Oh, Roxy. I better go. I'll call you later." After her phone call, she gobbled down her breakfast. After she puts the plate in the sink, she runs to her folder that was on the bar. She opens to see her resume. Once she puts it in her purse she puts her shoes on. She walks over to Kaito and the boys who are still eating their breakfast.
"Okay... I'm gonna go to my interview right now." She turned to her sons. "Boys, we're going shopping after my interview with Mrs. Haruno and her kids, okay?"
"Okay." Jou and Yoshi said in unison. Sora ruffled Jou's hair then she gave Yoshi a fist bump. Finally she gave her husband a goodbye kiss then walks out the door.
Destiny Islands Grille 10:30 A.M.
"This is why I should have this job." Sora explains to the employer named Mr. Hags. "At my last job at Louisville I was named top chef at Uncle's Bistro."
"Uncle's Bistro." Mr. Hags rubs his chin. "I ate there last year. One of the best meals I had in a long time. How long have you worked there?"
"5 years running. My fellow employees and boss were sad I was leaving but my husband was offered the opportunity of a lifetime to star in his own TV show. At first he was hesitant but I told him, it was his dream to be hosting a sports talk show so he should go ahead and take it. Sure it was hard to move but I don't regret it because I love seeing him happy."
"I see. That's one point on your list. You are committed to your family. Just like me, I would anything for my wife and son." He takes out his wallet and shows a picture of him, a woman with medium length brown hair holding an infant that looks around 6 months old. Sora smiled.
"Cute kid. It brings back memories." She hands the picture back and continued telling him her background. After 20 minutes she finished her story. After a few minutes. Mr. Hags sighed before he offered his hand.
"Congratulations. You got the job." Sora was shocked. She didn't really think that it would happen right away.
"Really? Just like that?"
"Yeah, your resume is outstanding. You seem like a hard worker. You are respectful. The qualities I like in an employee. You start next Monday" Sora felt like she wanted to cry but kept her composure and shook the man's hand.
"Thank you sir. You will not regret this." She said said excitingly. She walks out and makes a woo. Mr. Hags laughed then he continued his work. As soon as she made to her car, Naruko takes her phone out and called the person she loves the most.
"Hello?"
"Kaito... I got the job." She exclaimed.
"What? That's great." Said Kaito. "Congratulations, babe."
"Thanks. After our shopping day, what do you say us and the Harunos celebrate by having dinner at Dave and Busters?" She asked.
"That's a great idea. I'm done working the notes for next week's show. I'm gonna take a nap."
"Okay, Kaito. I'm gonna come home, change clothes then take the boys and Harunos to the mall."
"Okay, Honey. I'll see ya tonight. Love ya."
"I love you too." She hangs up and drives her way back home.
After she got home, Sora changed her clothes. She is now wearing a t-shirt that says "Jedi Mom" some jeans and Tennis shoes. She then takes Jou and Yoshi to the Haruno's house. Sora knocked her next door neighbors house. The Lockhart family waited for a moment before The door opened and revealed Naruko opening it. She looks at her new neighbor with a smile.
"You ready to go?" Asked the Lockhart Matriarch.
"Sure. Just let me call Shinra and Hana." She said. Luckily Naruko didn't have too as both kids rushed downstairs. Naruko was checking out her Sora's outfit and gives it a smirk.
"Nice Shirt, there. You big Star Wars fan?"
"Totally. You?"
"Uh, Duh! It's one of my lifelong passions. Beside UK Basketball, of course."
"Me, too. I remember my mom showed me the original movies in 1996." Sora looked up and sighed. "Those were one of my best memories. Besides my wedding day and my boys being born that is."
"Same here." Naruko sighed.
"I like your outfit, too." Sora complimented. Naruko looked down. She was wearing a Kentucky Basketball 1996 National champions shirt and similar jeans.
"Oh, thanks. I bought it off the internet last year. I now have all the 8 championship t-shirts."
"Cool!" Sora said. She then looks at the 4 kids talking to each other. "Okay, guys. It's time to go to the mall." The kids nodded and walked ouf the house and to Naruko's Van.
It was quite a shopping day for both moms and their kids but as soon as they were done, they decided to take a break and eat at the mall. Sora and Jou had Tacos. Naruko and Hana had some Burgers and fries. The two older kids Shinra and Yoshi finished all of their food, walked over to their mothers.
"Hey, mom." Shinra spoke. "Can Jou and Yoshi go to the arcade with Hana and I?" Naruko looked at her new Neighbor/friend whom smiled. Naruko looked back at her daughter with a smile.
"Sure." She opens her purse and hands out 2 $20. "Here's twenty dollars, Shinra. Keep an eye out on your brother, we'll come get you as soon as we're done shopping.
"Okay."Shinra smiled.
"That means you too, Yoshi." Sora said. "Make sure your little brother doesn't get lost, too." Both kids nodded then they took the younger kids to the arcade. Hana yelled a loud woo but his sister shushed him. Both women chuckled as they continue to eat their lunch.
"Those kids." Sora said. "I bet you'll they be the best of friends. Especially Jou and Hana."
"Yeah." Agreed Naruko. "But I have a funny feeling about Shinra and Yoshi." Sora almost choked on her food.
"You mean..."
"Not right now." Naruko told. "Like when they're 15."
"Oh... good." Sora said. "Not sure if my baby is ready for dating."
"Me neither." Naruko agreed. "Well Sakuro would have a heart attack." That comment made both women laugh.
"Naruko!" A voiced called from behind. Naruko looked from behind and sees a dark haired woman wearing a white blouse and black jeans. Naruko smiled.
"Hey, Satsuki." The Woman named Satsuki walked towards Naruko and Sora's table.
"What's up?"
"I'm shopping for the kids for school." She pointed to Sora. "This is my new neighbor Sora. Her husband is my co-host."
"Oh." Satsuki said. "That's cool. It's nice to meet you." She then grabs a chair and joined the other two women at the table. "Do you have any kids?"
"Yes." Sora said. "Two boys. One 12 and the other 7. "You?"
"Yes." She said as she opened her purse and hands a photo to Naruko's new neighbor. Sora takes a look at Satsuki who is holding a little boy that has the same duckbutt hair she does.
"My pride and joy Yami. He just turned three. Not too long ago." Sora giggled and hands the picture back to Satsuki.
"Well since we now each other, maybe our kids can have a play date."
"Good idea, Sora." Satsuki said. "We'll do it once every two weeks." Sora smiled in response.
"So Satsuki, where do you work?"
"I am a Meteorologist." She confirmed. I worked with Naruko, here for ten years."
"She's very good." Naruko spoke. "In fact, last year she was offered a job at the weather channel."
"Really?" Asked Sora. Satsuki nodded. "Why did you turn it down?"
"Because I lived her all my life." Satsuki answered. "Naruko and I knew each other since kindergarten. If I took that job now, I would leave her behind. I couldn't do that."
"Aw... That's sounds like my best friend Rika."
"Rika?" Naruko questioned.
"Yeah. like you Girls, she and I been friends since we were babies. Though we're not as close as we used to be now."
"Why?" Asked Naruko.
"She is in the Navy. She moved from our old hometown to Texas, 3 years ago. She's married to another soldier named Xion. They have 2 girls named Naomi and Mari."
"Really?" Satsuki said. "That's cool." She checked her clock then sighs frustratingly. "I gotta go. Gotta pick up Yami from the babysitter."
"Okay." Naruko nodded. "Tell him his Aunty Naru said hi." Satsuki smiled at her sister from another mother.
"You bet. See ya." She replied as she walked away from her best friend and new friend. Sora turns to Naruko who is finishing her drink.
"So... since I forgot to ask. Since she has a son, is Satsuki married?"
"Yes." Naruko said. "To my cousin Kain. They've been married for 7 years though. Satsuki didn't feel like she was the marrying type. She never even had a boyfriend until she met Kain. The reason she loved him is because he was the first guy to understand her. They dated the year I got married, then five years later, got married then had their son."
"Ohh... that's interesting. Where is Kain now?" Naruko's eyes lowered with her head down.
"Three years ago, there was a plane crash. Kain was one of the passengers." Sora's widen. She knows where this was going.
"The plane was on it's way from Boston to here. He was on a business trip. The crash happened near Philadelphia..." She couldn't say anything as a tear shed out of her eye. "There were no survivors." Sora, too teared up.
"I'm sorry." Was all she said." Naruko wiped her tears and smiled.
"Don't be. It was hard for her the past 2 years. Even though she's not over it, she went through it."
"That's good. It's what Kain wanted her to do." Sora said as she took another bite of her food. Naruko agreed with on that. After lunch, they walked to the arcade to pick up their kids. After that, they drove to where they see Kaito and Sakuro. After they ate their dinner(They had 20 pieces of Boneless wings and fries) They headed straight to the arcade. Naruko challenged Sora to the Mario Kart arcade. Sora won with Yoshi while Naruko used Luigi and finished in 2nd. Meanwhile Shinra was staring at clawing machine. It was a stuffed Pikachu doll. She squealed.
"Oh... I want that Pikachu in order for my collection." She then sighs. "But I am never good at the Claw Machine."
"But I am.." A Voice from behind her said. Shinra turned to see Yoshi with his arms crossed. "I could win it for you if you want."
"You would?" She asked. Yoshi nodded and insterted his money to the coin slot. He moved the claw to the middle then he dropped it. The claw grabs the Pikachu and into the prize slot. Shinra couldn't believe it as Yoshi smirked and gives it to Shinra. Shinra looked at for a moment before hugging her new friend. Yoshi stood for a moment before hugging her shoulders. Naruko and Sora sighed at the sight.
"I have a feeling in a few years, they will dance as the prom king and queen." Naruko smirked. Sakuro heard that and snarled.
"My baby girl's not dating till she's 30." Both wives laughed.
"Sure, honey. Whatever you say." Naruko said. After an hour, Both familes were pooped and decided to head on home. Once both Families were too tired to talk so told each other good night.
"Well, Naruko. I had a great day with you. You seem like a cool person." Sora said. Naruko and puts her hand on her new friend's shoulder.
"Thanks, Sora. You too. What do you say sometime next week, you and I have a day together?" Joyus at that idea, Naruko nodded her head.
"I think that's a good idea. It depends on my schedule though."
"I understand." Naruko said. "We'll plan something about next week, deal?"
"Deal." The brunette woman agreed. They hugged each other good night and joined their families for a good night sleep.
And that should do it. Next chapter is the first episode of Naruko and Kaito's new show. After that requests. I'll even write a Christmas oneshot. Until then, good night and Happy Thanksgiving.
