Crisis! Family meeting! Part 2
Johnny looked at the other adults. Mariposa had her hands folded in her lap and was looking at the floor. Silver was chatting with the other women about the goings on about their home.
"And then Sarah got a splinter and I was ready to chop down the tree, but Mari stopped me..." He looked at his wife who was giggling. "And then Michael came in and immediately slipped and fell on his butt! Mariposa screamed and I helped him up. We were laughing so hard! And we went to see the play Wicked."
Kumori gasped. "Live? Wow! How was it?"
Silver and Mari laughed. "It. Was. AWSOME! Actually, a lot of the songs reminded me of you guys. Like 'What is this feeling', it was-."
Roz grinned. "Let me guess! It was Eclipse and that creepy pop star! She was always in pink and Eclipse in black and purple."
"Yep, and 'Dancing through life'? Can you guess that one? No? Darkness. He mentioned it. 'What's the point? Those who never try don't look foolish' he said. And 'No good Deed'?"
"Duh! Eclipse."
Johnny couldn't take it anymore. He stood and went to the kitchen. He leaned against the counter. The door to the basement opened and Eclipse came up. She didn't seem to have seen him. She was carrying a small sculpture with a cloth over it. She put it on the shelf where a bunch of keys were and looked up. She stared at him for a second and grabbed the small sculpture. She opened the door and put it somewhere. She closed the door and turned to him.
"What're you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in there."
"It's uncomfortable."
"He's supposed to be my brother, yet Sometimes, I wonder, how can we be related. He is so different." She walked over and pulled a cup from a cupboard. "Huh. You standing there reminded me to take my medication."
"For what?"
"Um..." She looked at the bottle she had pulled from another cupboard. "'For sudden memory blackouts. Take one at breakfast and one with lunch.' I only take one a week. My doctor doesn't care. I'm getting better."
Johnny grinned and looked at the floor. She just made the funniest face ever when she swallowed the tiny pill. She gulped some water and glanced at him. "Want water?" He shook his head. She leaned on the table and grabbed a bag of chips from the pantry. She munched on some, looking at something on the table.
Johnny saw it was a jewelry catalog. She flipped a page and snorted. She picked it up and it burst into flames. Johnny suddenly felt like he was sinking. He looked down. He was. He yelled and Eclipse looked up. She gasped and screamed, finding herself in the same predicament. Johnny looked at Eclipse. "What is happening?!"
"Honestly? You really want to know?"
"YES!"
"I have... no clue. Ish. I sorta know."
"Then what do I do?"
"Um... this will sound odd, but, hold wrists and pray we don't get separated."
"Okay then. Come over here because I'm already up to my waist and you're up to your knees."
"OMFG! I JUST SAW THAT!"
"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! NNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Argh! Soeur! WHO DID THIS?!!!!!! THEY SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!"
"SQUEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
"Ti-ti! What happened?"
Eclipse rubbed her ears. " Man. They shout loud. Mainly Squee. But it's still so cute!"
"Um... Eclipse. It's up to my chest."
"CRAP!" Eclipse grabbed his wrists. "Hold on tight! This is going to hurt." She yanked on his wrists and he was up to his waist again. Eclipse looked down. "Well, at least we're on the same level. Sorta." Eclipse groaned when he almost immediately went down to his Chest.
"Hey Eclipse?"
"Yes Silver stone?"
"Need Help?"
"No!"
"Stubborn Bitch."
"Why is Squee so quiet?"
"Um... He fainted after the first squeal. Um... Mariposa stole the others."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S SO FUNNY!"
"ROZ! SHUT UP!"
"Um... I'm over here. That was Kumori."
"Oh."
"Eclipse. Eclipse. Eclipse."
"Hey Silver. When we're under, call home to see if we get to that time period."
"Eclipse. Eclipse. Eclipse."
"Okay."
"And-"
"ECLIPSE! I'M SINKING AGAIN!"
"CRAP! STOP SINKING!"
"You sure you don't want help?"
"Yep." She pulled Johnny back up. Finally, they sank to their chest. Eclipse, still pulling Johnny to keep him level with her. Silver stone raised an eyebrow.
"Want me to help?"
"Nah. We'll go and then I'll pull up a portal. If not, I'll call."
"Okay."
"Um... Hate to ask, but, where are we going?"
"My home! Yay! Gulp!"
They were under. Squee, woke up, squealed and tried to jump in, but Silver caught him.
"Whoa little fella. Relax! Your dad is With Eclipse Eternity. Nothing can touch him as long as he stays near her."
"Why?"
"She's a warrior Princess."
Kumori: Hahahahaha! Their sinking!
E: Will you shut up?
Kumori: Loser.
E: At least I can get up and walk outside.
Kumori: sob Shut up! I canleave if I want to!
