The Clubhouse Mews: Ch. 1
"Mommy," a small, five-year-old girl tugged at Ichigo's pants leg. "May I have some icecweam?"
"After shopping," Ichigo replied.
"Why?" the little girl asked.
"Don't you want some now clothes for school tomorrow?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," the girl replied," But I'm hungwy."
"Why don't you go play with your friends?" Ichigo asked.
"They're also hungwy," the girl replied.
Ichigo sighed. She didn't think that bringing three five-year-old girls with her would be much trouble. Though she was doing Lettuce and Purin a favor in taking care of their girls. They were out to their jobs for a quick weekend. Lettuce had to finish her book, and Purin had become a lawyer. Now the girls were 'hungwy'. Might as well get them ice cream then. "Ok everyone, let's go eat."
"Yay!" all three chorused. Ichigo bought the clothes and had given them some ice cream.
"Where do you three want to go next?" Ichigo asked as they rode in the pink van.
"Home," the little girl yawned.
"Ok," Ichigo said with a smile. She took a glance in the mirror and saw that all three of them were trying to sleep. Turning on the soft sound of music from the radio, she thought. You've done it again Kouyou. Gone and made your mother proud.
8 years later
Kouyou woke in the comfort of her own bed, and looked at the clock. It was seven o'clock in the morning, and the bus ran at eight. She sighed and changed into her clothes. "I wonder how today will be," she said as she put up her pony tail. Taking a glance at her clock, she saw that she only took ten minutes to get up and get ready. "A new record," she complimented herself.
This was her favorite part of her house, the stairs. She jumped onto the rail and slid down. Landing perfectly on her feet she rushed to the kitchen. "What's for breakfast mom?" she asked.
"Take a guess," Ichigo replied and flipped the pancake.
Kouyou smiled and sat down at the table. "Soccer signups are today, don't want to miss it" she said.
"How many sports do you play?" Ichigo asked.
"Three. Soccer, volleyball, and baseball."
"Then how do you have four seasons of playing?"
"Two soccer seasons, you should know that mom."
"Oh yeah, I guess with all this stress I get all tangled up in things."
"That's ok."
"Hello everyone," Kish said as he came in.
"Good morning dad!" Kouyou said and gave him a hug.
"Now where's my hug?" Ichigo asked.
"Here," Kouyou replied and gave her a hug.
Ichigo smiled and said, "Let's eat before the bus comes."
"Ok," Kouyou replied.
Kouyou, Kokoro, and Kitai met at the bus stop about twenty till. "How are yall doin'?" Kouyou asked.
"Pretty good," Kokoro replied.
"Ditto," Kitai said.
"Hand shake?" Kouyou asked and a nod of agreement came from Kokoro and Kitai.
They went into a circle, with Kouyou in between Kitai and Kokoro, and held out their hands and gave each other 'low fives'. Then, they clasped each their hands together with their neighbors, at the top.
"Club," Kouyou said as her right hand and Kitai's left hand went in the middle.
"House," Kitai said as her right hand and Kokoro's left hand joined the center.
"Mews," Kokoro ended as her right hand and Kouyou's left hand ended the thing.
"Clubhouse Mews!" They sang out and flung their hands in the air. A round of laughter came from all of them.
"Remember when we started this whole thing?" Kitai asked.
"Yeah, we had this big idea that we could start a club," Kokoro replied.
"Those were the days," Kouyou said dazed, "we were how old?"
"I think we were about seven," Kokoro replied.
"We had to work to get the clubhouse made," Kitai stated.
"Then Kokoro had this idea of racking leaves," Kouyou said.
"And you tried to ring the first doorbell Kouyou," Kokoro said.
"That was the day we found out how to help each other," Kouyou said.
"Friendship is good to find out about," Kokoro added.
"Our dad's did agree to help us when we had enough money for wood," Kitai stated.
"I'd say we did pretty well with it," Kouyou commented.
"Now we have this," Kokoro said.
"What's the story with our name again?" Kitai asked.
"We knew that we wanted our name to have 'clubhouse' in it," Kouyou started the reply.
"And we heard our parents say the word 'mew' a lot," Kokoro added.
"So we put the name together," Kitai ended.
"Bus," Kouyou said. The bus came to a stop and let them on. They went on their way to another boring day of school.
There it is, the first chap.
