The Missing Sailor
Chapter 43
After the whole ' Hey Sam, want to meet my big 'ol happy family, okay not so happy, but it is big!' thing, Emma went home for a well needed, battle free, no more Hoshiko to disturb my dreams sleep. That's what she thought. It was 11 o' clock at night, I know, it's pretty early for our little heroin, but hey, with all the hell she's been through, I ..I mean SHE needs it.
Anyway.
It was 11 pm, and Emma had just about fallen asleep. But Nooooo. Her cell phone rang. Emma groaned and picked it up.
" Konnichiwa?" Emma asked wearily.
" WHAT DID YOU DO?"
" Ami?"
" YES! Ami! What did you do?"
" Whaddaya mean?" Emma asked sitting up.
" Why did you give some random guy my phone number?"
" Because, he is a nice guy, and I know what's best for you." Emma said. Well, it was true. " Besides, he wasn't random. He was my cousin Ran's tutor."
" What if I was still going out with that guy Hideki!"
" Which you aren't." Emma added.
" That's beside the point!" Ami said. " Why did you give a guy my phone number without telling me?"
" He was a nice guy..and you have to admit..he's was cute."
" I never met him remember! He called me!"
" Oh yeah. Sorry. Still waking up here."
" It's only 11." Ami said.
" I KNOW THAT! But, I have had a particularly tiring week." Emma snapped.
" Sorry. Don't need to get your panties in a bunch." Ami said.
" You are crude when you're mad." Emma said.
" I've been told that." Ami said. Emma sighed.
" So did you accept the date?"
"..."
" Ami?" Emma smirked.
" ..."
" Ami, I can just call him myself. All I have to do is call my aunt, and get his number.."
" OKAY!" Ami said. " Yes. I accepted his date...you're evil. You know that?"
" I've been told that myself." Emma smirked. " So when is it?"
" Uh...Wednesday after school." Ami said.
" Well, good luck."
" Thank you." Ami said.
" I'm going back to bed."
" Okay. Night."
" Night." click. " FINALLY!" Emma yelled as she fell back on her bed, falling asleep instantly.

" Emma, wake up!"
" Go away." Emma said from under her blanket.
" Emma!"
" I said go away."
" EMMA!"
" WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Emma sat up and screamed. Then she looked at the black and white cats on her lap.
" Emma," Artemis said. " are you okay?"
" Oh yeah." Emma said flopping backwards on her back. " What are you doing here?"
" No reason." Luna said. Emma's eye twitched.
" You woke me up for no reason? it's Sunday!"
" Yes. It's Sunday." Luna said. Emma looked at her watch.
" aww. Shit."
" What?"
" I have fifteen minutes to take a shower and get ready for church. You two, have to go." Emma opened her bedroom window. The two cats shrugged. ( not sure if cats can actually do that, but these ain't ordinary cats mind you.)and climbed out her window. That was odd and stupid. The cats just suddenly appear for no apparent reason. Damn them. So, yeah. Any way. Emma ran to her bathroom and jumped in the shower. She quickly washed her hair, jumped out and pulled on some black slacks and a yellow peasant blouse. She pulled her hair into a pony tail and dashed down stairs.
" SHE'S ALIVEEEEE!" Josh mocked. Emma growled and smacked him over the head. He was on the couch watching a baseball game. Yeah. Baseball season was back. Yippee...not.
" It's not my fault I enjoy sleeping my weekends away." Emma said.
" Everyone, get ready to get in the car!" Beth yelled from upstairs. The thing that sucks about being catholic in Japan, is the nearest church is like an hour away. Yay.
Sooo not.

" MOOOOOM!" Emma wailed. " JOSH WON'T STOP POKING MY HAIR!"
" But it's soooo poofy!" Josh smirked.
" Will you two knock it off!" Hotaka yelled.
" We're almost there! And josh, if you don't knock it off, I'll make you go to confession!" Beth threatened.
" But, I went last weekend!"
" Then I suggest you leave Emma's hair alone!" Yeah. They were all in the car. Waiting to show up to the one catholic church within a fifty mile radius. Josh crossed his arms. he was acting like a four year old. Emma glared at him, when suddenly her cell phone beeped.
" three voicemails!" Emma said. She connected and listened to them.
" Emma, it's Rini. I'm at the theatre...waiting...call me."
" Emma, it's Rini again. You are fifteen minutes late...hurry!"
" EMMA where the hell are you? You are over two hours late! We already missed the movie...where are you!"
" Oops." Emma squeaked.
" What happened?" Josh asked.
" I stood Rini up last night." Emma said.
" Smooth move sis. Real smooth."
" Shut up!"
" YOU!"
" That's it! You're both going to confession!" Beth yelled.
