Here let's clear up on ages. Everyone is 14, 15, or 16. Does that make every thing better for you now? Ha! Well you get to see the rest of the kids who live in Mineral Town; well not all of them will be introduced exactly. Well the mystery part of this whole story is just seeing which kid goes to whom, and why, it's also to see whom Rose's father is. You know sometimes I wonder why I do this. I guess it's just something to do over spring break for me. Ha! Well I hope you enjoy, and I'm mad about a little, I'll tell you that later.
CHAPTER ONE:
NO PARENTS ALLOWED TO READ!
Dear My Good Friends of Mineral Town:
Tonight I, Rose Bou, am announcing a meeting of great importance, and all of you should know of this! This is probably one of the greatest things I've discovered in life (even though I'm 14) yet! You have to come tonight at 5:00 p.m. at our usual spot up in the mountains. Death will stab you with 1,000 pointy knives and angry chicken pecks… forget I said that. Just come over okay!
-Rose Bou
While Noah was reading this he couldn't help, but chuckle from this. 'She acts so cute,' he thought to himself.
"What are you doing?" an older girl's voice came in.
"Nothing, why?" Noah replied.
"I hardly hear you laugh," she said in a curious tone, "What's this?" she tried to grab the letter from him.
"It's not for you," he pulled it away from her. Though she was too quick and sly, and got the letter from him.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me about this?" she asked.
"Because I knew you wouldn't come."
"How could you say that?" she defined.
"Your always off doing who knows what," he exclaims.
"Well… your right, I won't be able to make it," she replies, and she walks out like nothing ever happened.
'She's so weird,' he thought to himself.
"Oh you may want this back, huh?" and she tosses the letter over her shoulder, and it just gently flew in his room. He grabbed the letter examining the letter again and again. 'She's just so funny.'
"What's taking that damn girl so long?" Judy whined out. She was sitting on a jagged rock kicking debris of grass. Everyone was waiting for Rose for this 'important' meeting.
"You just have to be a little more patient, Judy, I know Rose will come. She just probably had to do something really quick before she had to arrive," Jane tried to calm down Judy with kind and polite words, but Judy was too stubborn headed to listen. Every word that comes through one ear goes through the other.
"Yeah, but dang girl doesn't have to have us wait for HER meeting," she exclaimed.
"Oh Judy, Jane is right you need to be a little more cool-headed," Robert teased Judy by pulling on her hair.
"Leave me alone, Robert!" Judy grinded her teeth, and gave Robert a good kick in the face.
"Ah! It hurts!" Robert cried out.
"Both of you shut up," Brian came over, and he gave Judy and Robert that death stare, and soon after kept quiet.
"Hey everybody," Dylan greeted behind Brian.
"Yo," Noah came up soon after.
Still no Rose, and she loved to take forever. She was late for her own meeting for twenty minutes! Judy and Robert where about to sleep, Brain was getting bored so he just started to count the clouds going by, Jane was reading, and Noah was just waiting for Rose in the shadows. Though they all may be doing something different they all still wondered when should they leave!
"Okay… I'm first to go!" Judy got up.
"Wait, don't leave!" Jane exclaimed in her mouse tone.
"Why shouldn't I we have been waiting here forever?"
"Wow! I didn't know you all missed me that much!" Rose replied. Everyone looked at her wanting to kill her with this pointy knives and chickens.
"Why where you late for your own meeting?" Judy demanded.
"Oh… well I was sleeping!" Rose replied with embarrassment.
"What!" Judy shouted, "You slept!"
"Yeah, but see I remembered the meeting!" and she pulled out a familiar box from the attic.
"If you don't mind, what is that peculiar box you're holding, Rose?" Jane asked.
"Ladies and gentle… boys… men… um…" she paused for a moment, "Anyway, what I have here is something greater then greatness it self. Something spectacular, and you'll never find this anywhere else in the world something so spectacular…" she was interrupted by Dylan.
"Cut to the chase Rose."
"Oh, right!" Rose is very childish still.
"I have here," and she pulled it out, "Memories!"
"Come again?" Judy asked.
"Pictures, letters, and my mother's diary! Memories, Judy, memories!" Rose exclaimed.
"Wow!" everyone awes at what Rose discovered. Even Brian was a bit curious about this (he's only there because he has to chaperone Robert).
"Yes, I know, and it starts when my mom first got the farm! And it ends about when Dylan moved in the town, I'm pretty sure," she replied while flipping the old pages.
"Well start reading!" Dylan exclaimed. Everyone was interested in this story.
"Really? I should" Rose tempted. Everyone had that anxious 'you better read this or I'm going to kill you look!'
"I mean really invading the privacy of my own mother. I wouldn't want her to invade my own privacy, and starts reading my own diary to all her friends, besides who are we…" She was interrupted ounce more by Judy.
"Just read it damn it!"
"Alright, alright, I'll read the dang thing." She was about to read the first page, but before she got there she had one more thing to say.
"You know we could be getting in to a story bigger then us, I mean this could get to deep."
Everyone stopped for a moment, and thought, this is their past, before they where born, thinking of what they might have done the age of twenty or so… thinking of the fights, the love… the rated R scenes. Seriously you as the reader should think of what position the child must be in. They know what someone old enough, but still immature would do. To also think that this was your mother and father. The king and queen of responsibility and making sure you put those pants on right. To imagine them in their most immature moments is better then gold it self.
"Oh please, Rose, take us out of our anxiety, and start reading the diary, please!" Jane pleaded.
"Okay…" Rose cleared her throat, "Dear Diary…"
"Did you seriously buy that… that… dump?" a woman shrieked in terror.
"It's not a dump, Doll, it's a farm," Belle replied.
"Yeah, but Belle, why would you buy such a hideous place," a woman asked in her high fashioned accent.
"I'm tired of the city, Joyce, I need a new life, somewhere I can live in harmony," Belle replied.
"But, Belle, that means your leaving us," a girl of red hair cried out to her.
"Please don't be like that Sonny," Belle sighed while trying to shake off Sonny off her arm.
Belle just showed her friends this newspaper add that said a farm was being sold this little village called Mineral Town. All of her friends are furious over the fact that their friend is leaving the big city, but Doll and her temper she took this situation to exaggerating.
"Belle how could you do this to us! Seriously all that we have done for you, and now you just leave to a hillbilly town, and all the money your making, why?" Doll demanded an explanation from Belle to tell her why is she just leaving.
"Well Doll I'm not for sure if you would understand especially in this mood of yours."
"I demand you tell me why!"
"Okay, okay. Well my grandparents, who I have lived with my whole life, where farmers. My grandfather handled the crops and cattle, and my grandmother would handle with the horses, and helped my grandfather with the cattle sometimes. I use to even help them with poultry, and even help my grandfather sell a lot of the milk, eggs, and crops we had. I loved those times back then. Then they died, and the farm had to sell, and I was only 16, and I was too old for the orphanage, so I had to find a job somewhere else. I didn't want to…" she was soon interrupted by Doll.
"Just get to the damn point woman!"
"You know, I was in the middle of my explanation, just for you, but if you don't want it then fine I'm glad I'm leaving you!" Belle spat back at her.
"Belle, please really tell you are joking, and just stay here with us," Joyce pleaded.
"Sorry, but I have to go before my train leaves," Belle replied.
"You're not going anywhere!" Sonny cried out.
"Sorry, but here's my taxi." Belle whistled for a taxi, and just in a split of a second, one came.
"You can't leave Belle, I'm serious, and how could you do this, why? Why? Why?" Doll shouted out to her, slamming her palm on the taxi. The taxi driver was being impatient, and so was Belle. So Belle just slammed the door on her face, and Doll just starts chasing the taxi down the street after her.
"Why?" Doll yelled out in the street, and she was just red mad.
"Forget her Doll, she'll be back in no time," Joyce replied, with this unsure look, and she picked up a cigarette from her pocket, and started to smoke.
"Who?" Doll asked.
"Belle of coarse!" Sonny replied with shock with what Doll said.
"I don't know no Belle," she replied calmly.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Belle asked, "Wow is this really a farm? Looks more like the town's dump."
"Oh hello! Are you Belle?" this man in a red suit, and a funny moustache came up to her.
"Yes, my name is Belle Toscano, and I just bought this place, and I'm not sure if this really is the place…" Belle asked the man.
"Oh! So you're Belle Toscano, um… I'm sorry to say, but this place has been abandoned for months now. The owner of this farm died nine months ago, and well we have been trying to sell it, but such a run down farm, and it was so small, everyone who came didn't want it, but the minute they saw this they left," the man said sadly. "But soon we just changed the add saying it was this deluxe farm in a beautiful village, and people come like you, and left from this lie of a farm."
"You're kidding, right?" Belle replied angrily.
"Nope," the man said with such confidence in his smile.
"Oh my Goddess! After I quitted my job, left my friends, my luxury apartment, and just everyone and everything back at my city, you tell me this is what I spent my $25,000 on!" Belle said furiously.
"Um… Yes…" the man was just terrified by Belle's tone of voice.
"Oh my Goddess!!!" she screamed, and pulled out her awesome hammer of might (where the hell she get that), and just slammed the man's foot with it.
"Owe!" the man yelled out.
"You bastard sold me a piece of shit, for nothing!" she screamed put, and gave him one more hit in the foot.
"Oh Goddess! I'm so sorry Ms Toscano!" the man yelped out in pain.
"I'm leaving!" she yelled out.
"I'm so sorry, really! But don't leave!" the man pleaded.
"You're right," she replied.
"I am?"
"Yeah, I should get my money back!" she yelled out.
"I can't!"
"Why not?"
"I spent it all on the town, and me…"
"AH!" Belle screamed out.
"Please, oh please, for the love of the Harvest Goddess, and all her slenderness, just stay! It really is a beautiful village, and the farm doesn't need that much work, oh please don't hit me!"
Belle thought, and she gave a good thought, and she remembered the days she fell in love with a farm. She also thought of what Doll said to her, and thought how miserable she got at the city.
"Fine!" Belle shouted out.
"What?"
"Fine! I'll take the damn farm…" Belle sighed.
"Oh thank you, thank you, really!" the man replied with such glee, and shook her hand.
"Well it's all yours, Ms Toscano," he replied.
"What's your name anyway?" she asked.
"Oh I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mayor Thomas Smith!" he replied.
Who elected this idiot? Belle thought with such confusion.
Mayor Thomas left, and Belle just looked out at the farm, and she gave a good thought about it.
"What the hell did I get my self in to?" Belle just slowly walked in to her new small house, and lay down on that small bed. Oh my Goddess… She finally thought, did the old man die in this bed!
SUPER RANT #3
Seriously! Do you think the bed you sleep in every night that maybe that old man died in that bed! Creepy don't you think? Anyway I have a problem with when they won't let Microsoft Word 2007 yet! I love MW '07 it's hella cool! To bad… Also yes I am giving out last names in this story. Funny huh? I hope you all know that Bou really is a person in real life, oh my Goddess! He's this transvestite in Antic Café, a J-Rock band, and I just love his cuteness! I may be doing that a lot. laughs
