Chapter 5
Basubasu, Junjun, Celecele, Parapara, and Jeff Peterson were all gathered in the living room. The girls had just discovered that Basubasu had a rich uncle that was, according to their mother's will, going to be their new guardian.
"So are we ever gonna met this guy?" asked Basubasu.
"I have arranged for your uncle to come to my office tomorrow. You four are welcome to come as well."
As usual, Junjun was deep in thought. 'It all came just to fast. Our mother's death, and now this? Why wouldn't Aunt Bernadette tell us about her brother?' "So…how is this going to work? What are we supposed to do with all the possessions? The car, the house?" That was the first thing she had said the entire time. She let Basubasu do most of the talking.
"That is to be settled between you and you uncle," he replied rising from the sofa and grabbing his suite case. "I hope to see you all tomorrow. Here is my card."
Celecele reached for the plain white card in the lawyer's hand.
Jeff Peterson headed for the front door and reached for the door knob, "Good Afternoon," he said as he let him self out.
Junjun followed him to the door and locked it behind him.
The room went completely silent.
"I'm going to go for a walk," Basubasu said, "I need some fresh air." She grabbed her jacket and walked out the door.
"I think I'm gonna go for a walk to," Celecele said as she put on her jacket.
Only Junjun and Parapara were left.
"Redondo Beach?"
"Of Course."
They jumped onto the sofa, flipped on the T.V. and finished eating their popcorn.

'You've got to be kidding me.' Basubasu slowly walked to the park. 'How come I've never seen him? I've never even heard of him. Mom's never talked about her family at all. I've never even met my father.' She found an area of tall trees and started climbing.
'Maybe I'm just living with Junjun, Celecele, and Parapara just so I can have some kind of a family.' Basubasu reached the highest branch she could climb to.
She sat there in the tree for who knows when.

Celecele slowly walked the streets of her neighborhood. Her mind drifted as her legs carried her to where they pleased. She snapped out of her trance when she heard a driver honk their horn. 'Man, they give everyone a license these days,' she thought as she observed a car almost get into a car accident. She looked up from the scene to see where she was.
In-N-Out.
"Catherine!"
Celecele turned around. It was John.
"Hi!"
He continued, "I'm sorry about your…."
"It's alright," she cut him of before he could finish his sentence.
"John I don't want to bail you out if your late," shouted someone by the front door of the fast food resterant.
"Listen I got to go. I'll call you after I'm done with work. Bye Catherine," he said as he headed to follow his friend.
"Bye," she waved to John and started to walk home.

"With my brother?"
"Let me explain please!"
"How could you do this to me?!"
"What are you talking about? Don't think I don't know all about your late nights! Work my ass!"
"With my brother? I thought we were going to get married!"
"How could you be my husband if your cheating on my with Alyson?"
"How could you be my wife if you're carrying my brother's baby?"
"Man she is such a bitch."
Basubasu, Junjun, and Parapara were glued to the T.V. watching Redondo Beach. Basubasu was lying on the sofa upside down trying to eat popcorn, but was unaware that the force of gravity was preventing her from having any. Parapara was sitting on the floor, next to Basubasu's head, catching the falling popcorn. Junjun was lying across the sofa, mindful of Basubasu. As usual, popcorn was scattered everywhere.
"Redondo Beach again? Don't you three have anything better to do?"
"Well we were going to the movies but we decided to wait for you!" Basubasu said, still focused on the T.V.
"Cool, what movie?"
"John Tucker Must Die," answered Parapara, while shoving popcorn in her mouth.
"Alright, lets go guys," said Junjun, dusting the popcorn off of her clothes, "we don't want to be late."
Parapara, Basubasu, and Junjun ran upstairs to get their stuff.
Suddenly the phone rang.
"Celecele can you get that?" Basubasu shouted from upstairs.
"Sure" Celecele replied as she grabbed the ringing phone.
(a/n if there is confusion about who says what, just remember that it is perfectly alternating)
"Hello?"
"Catherine?"
"Hey John!"
"Sorry about earlier…"
"Its alright, you had to work."
Awkward silence"So…what's up?" Celecele tried to liven up the conversation.
"Nothing much, I got my paycheck today."
"That's cool,"
"Yup,"
"…."
"Do you want to hang out tonight?"
"…(loud noise)" that caught her off guard.
"Catherine?"
"Oh, sorry, I dropped the phone…what was that."
"Do you want to hang out tonight?"
"…(thump sound)" 'thank goodness I caught the phone this time'"Sure!"
"Awesome, so I'll stop by your place in an hour…what's your address?"
"8476 Pine St. It's right across the street from the park."
"Ok see you in an hour…bye."
"Bye John."

Celecele hung up the phone as the rest of the girls came charging down the stairs.
"Celecele, your not ready?" questioned Basubasu as she ran down the stairs.
"Well…Um, I think I'm going to stay here,"
Basubasu immediately stopped running down the stairs while Junjun and Parapara crashed into her full speed.
"But you really wanted to see this movie."
"Hey, who was that on the phone?" asked Parapara while she walked down the stairs with Basubasu.
"That's just thing…John called."
"JOHN?!" Parapara, Basubasu, and Junjun shouted in her face.
"Yes, why is that such a big deal, and Junjun where the hell did you come from?"
Basubasu: OH STOP PLAYING COOL!
Junjun: DID HE CALL YOU BEFORE?
Parapara: IS HE GOING TO ASK YOU OUT? YOU BETTER SAY YES!
"Guys please. No I'm not kidding, no he only called me once but he told me he was going to call, and yes I'm going out with him," Celecele answered back with her usual confident and slightly conceited tone of voice.
The three girls looked at Celecele confused.
"If he didn't call you before," began Junjun.
"Then how do you know," continued Basubasu.
"That he was going to call you today?" finished Parapara.
"Well I saw him today while I was on my walk. We didn't have time so say much so he said he would call me."
Right as Basubasu opened her mouth to say something, Junjun cut it.
"Guys the movie starts in 10 minutes. We have to go now!"
Basubasu grabbed her jacket and ran to the door, "Come on let's go, bye Celecele. Have fun tonight with your little BOY TOY!"
"HE'S NOT MY BOY TOY!!" she shouted as Junjun, Parapara, and Basubasu rushed out the door.
'Well, I'm no sure when he will call me…'
She went up stairs to change, she had at least 40 minutes until John would pick her up.
'Well, I need to wear something that will catch his attention, but not make it seem like I'm trying to hard to get noticed.'
With careful deliberation, she decided to wear all black vans, black shorts with pink pin-strips, and a pick tank top over a black wife-beater. She looked at herself in the mirror to see her complete ensemble.
"Genius," She said to her self. "And I have 5 minutes to spare. Now the only thing left to do is just wait."

"That movie was so awesome!"
"Man, John Tucker in a thong! Pinch me, I'm dreaming! OW! Parapara!"
slap
"BASUBASU THAT HURT!"
"WELL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOU TO PINCH ME!"
"Actually…"
"Shhh….." Junjun cut in, "we shouldn't wake up sleeping beauty!"
Basubasu and Parapara looked over to the sofa to see the Celecele sleeping soundly in front of the t.v.
"Come on, let's get some sleep," said Basubasu, shooing Parapara and Junjun towards the stairs.
Before she headed up the stairs she turned off the t.v. and went over to the sofa to cover Celecele with a blanket. As she unfolded the blanket, she noticed that Celecele was wearing. 'That's odd, Celecele never falls asleep in her clothes, unless it's a matter of life and death…then that must mean…'
Basubasu's eyes widened with realization. She walked up the stairs to bed whispering 'wait till I get my hands on the bastard.'
