Authors note: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Ok I was thinking since it's Mother's Day, I would do a chapter about it. Since Sapphire(Rebecca) is separated from her mother from her world, and she just got reconnected with Mikoto, her mother from this world. How would she celebrate Mother's Day? We'll just have to wait and see. Also I don't own the song here. It's called "Dearest Mother" by Shawn (forgot the last name sorry)
Chapter 7 - Mothers Day
"Thalie! Wake up! It's time for school!" My mom hollered from the kitchen.
"Urgh...ok..."
I woke up with the taste of morning breath in my mouth. I kicked off my covers, changed into my school uniform and made up my bed.
"Oh Thalie. Could you please wake up your dad? It time for him to work."
"Ok mommy." I walked up to my dad's room and knocked on his door. "Daddy! Wake up! It's 8 o'clock! Time to go to work!"
I heard my dad grunt and groan before he replied. "Alright I'm up."
After I did that, I walked over to the kitchen. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and saw my mom making pancakes.
"So Thalie, did you sleep good last night?" My mom asked.
"Eh, far enough." I shrugged. "I woke up at midnight."
"Oh, why is that?"
"Mommy, how many times do I tell you. I don't know why I wake up in the middle of the night!"
"Sorry Thalie."
"It's ok." I pulled up a chair and sat down for breakfast. Then I took one pancake for the stack that mom already made.
"That's all your going to eat?! Just one!"
Mom always made a big fuss about me eating so little. "I'm sorry, but I'm not that hungry."
"Your ALWAYS not hungry!"
I heard my dad taking a shower, while I was eating. And by the sound of the high creaking noise, I could tell he was done. When I finished my breakfast, my mom gave me my lunch box and my backpack. My dad came in the kitchen, gave my mom and me a kiss and took a pancake and left for work.
My mom walked me to the bus stop. My friend Juliana and her mom were there. Juliana and I were really happy to go to school today because today was our 4th grade class field trip. The school bus drove in, Juliana kissed her mom good bye, then ran into the bus.
"I love you Thalie."
"I love you to mommy."
Then my mom kissed me good bye, and I ran into the bus. I sat in the very back sit of the bus. And as it drove off. I waved to my mom from the window. As she waved back, I saw her and everything fade away and my vision go white.
"Good bye mommy. Good bye..."
I slowly opened my eyes, and took in my surroundings. I was back in my room in Shirasagi. Tears slowly fell from my face, one after the other. I looked at the calendar, today was Mother's Day...well, back in my world it was Mother's Day. But here in this world they don't have that. Thinking about Mother's Day, reminded me of my mother back in my world. Then, I thought about my mother here-Empress Mikoto. Was she really my mother? Should I consider her my mother? I know she is my mother by birth, but. But she hardly knows me...and I hardly know her.
I remember, always giving my mom red roses on Mothers Day. And, we would always go out to Olive Garden for dinner. I miss those days. I still remember the last time I saw her. She came to my house for a visit, but, we got into a bad fight. I don't even remember, what we were fighting over. You know, it's funny. Sometimes you get so mad at your parents and you say 'I never want to see you again'. It's real easy to say that, when you know you will.
I missed my mom. I missed her always picking at me. I missed her yelling at me. I missed her correcting me. I missed her worry about me. I missed her, loving, hugging, kissing. I never thought I would, but I did.
I looked up at the blue sky. Then, I suddenly started crying. I missed my mom. I missed my dad. I missed my friends and family. I still remember the song I would always sing to my mom on Mother's Day.
Dearest Mother, Truest Friend. Today we thank you, over and over again.

I wiped the tears from my eyes. But, I was called here for a reason. And I could go home, until I found out what that reason was. I saw Empress Mikoto walking in the gardens.
Whether I see her as my mother or not. And whether she really loved me or not. I still loved her.
I changed my clothes and ran out of the castle. I saw some red roses in a near by valley, I picked one. Then I went to the garden to fine Empress Mikoto.
"Um, excuse ma'am."
Empress Mikoto turned around, and when she saw me, there was a big smile on her face.
"Here this is for you." I gave her the Rose.
"Why thank you Sapphire!" Mikoto gave me a big hug and a kiss. "Thank you my child. This is lovely."
Empress Mikoto took my hand and we walked back to the castle. Mikoto reminded me of my other mother. I wasn't ready to call her 'mother' just yet. Don't get me wrong, I loved Mikoto as a mother, but I wasn't ready to accept her. It's confusing I know, but it made sense to me.
As Empress Mikoto and walked into the castle. I felt, like, my mother back home, was smiling at me. I let go of Mikoto's hand and stop for a second. I looked up at the sky once more.
"Happy Mother's Day Mommy." I whispered.
"Sapphire? Are you alright?"
I looked at the confused Empress. "Oh, coming!"
i hope you all enjoy this chapter. Next I will post a chapter or side story (still don't know what to call it)
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! TO ALL THE MOTHERS EVERYWHERE!
