"Ahhhh." Aunt Miyanne sighed, feeling relaxed. She sat with her feet propped up on fluffy pillows, watching Jerry Springer.
"Bleep you! Bleep you! You can go to hell!" A prostitute shouted at her mother. Sarah walked to the living room with a platter of sandwiches.
"Here you are, Miyanne." Sarah said kindly.
"Thanks Sarah." Aunt Miyanne said. She chewed a sandwich, while Sarah stood at her side, waiting.
"Sarah..." Aunt Miyanne started. "Have you ever tasted a miscarrige? Because you imitted the flavour very well." Aunt Miyanne spat.
Sarah scowled. She grabbed the platter from aunt Miyanne. She stood patiently. "Okay, what do you want instead?" Sarah asked.
"Mmmm. Make me some cream of mushroom soup, with a side of cheddar and green onion stuffed sausages." Aunt Miyanne grinned.
"Uh, sure." Sarah said. She walked into the kitchen in a huff.
"Make it quick Sarah! I'll be dead in 30 minutes!" Aunt Miyanne shouted.
"I'll get my tap dancing shoes." Sarah said under her breath. She angrily pulled out pans, and a recipe book. "Damn woman.." Sarah mumbled.
Tom walked back into the house, holding all of aunt Miyanne's bags. "Guest room okay for you, aunt Miyanne?" Tom asked.
"Guest room? Nigga you crazy?" She asked. "No man, I need your room."
"My room? Aunt Miyanne, Sarah, and I sleep there."
"Not no more." Aunt Miyanne said. "Who's the one with the injured leg?"
"Y-You are."
"Who are the people who want to care to my every whim?"
"Sarah, and I."
"So isn't one of my whims to sleep in the master bedroom?"
"Yes."
"Then make it so." Miyanne said. Tom sighed, and dragged her bags upstairs.
"Boy, your skull can be as thick as an elephant's dick!" She shouted from the couch.
Jazmine and Huey were walking outside together.
"So that's where toilet paper comes from." Huey said.
Jazmine looked at Huey. "Pardon?"
"Jazmine, I just explained the origins of toilet paper. What's going on?" Huey asked, his voice softened.
"I'm sorry. I've just been thinking about aunt Miyanne. She's staying at the house for a month! At least I think so. And she's making mommy and daddy really sad."
"What is she doing?" Huey asked.
"She's ordering them around, insulting them, swearing. All of that. She's mean to me too! I don't know how much more they can take." Jazmine said.
"Maybe she's bitter because she's old." Huey said. "You know, she's got physical problems."
"So that gives her an excuse to be mean?" Jazmine asked.
"I'm not on her side, I'm just trying to think of why she is the way she is." Huey explained. "But, as long as she's there, don't let her get you down, try to survive." He said. "Be Jazmine Starflake."
"I'll try my best." Jazmine said. She smiled. "You remembered!" Jazmine said, happily.
"Of course I did." Huey said.
"Huey!" Jazmine said. She squeezed him from the side, he put her arm around her shoulder.
"You want to go out tomorrow?" Huey asked.
"Sure! Where?" Jazmine asked,
"Think of a place." Huey said. "And we'll go."
"Okay." Jazmine said. "I love you Huey Freeman."
"I love you too, Jazmine DuBois."
"DuBois." Jazmine said, imitating Huey. "I LOVE the way you say it!"
"I know. That's why you made me read your family guest list." Huey said, he laughed.
Jazmine chuckled. They were right on the path between their houses. She checked her watch.
"Okay, Huey. I have to go inside for dinner now."
"Me too." Huey said.
"Do you want to come over and sit on the porch later...you know, if its okay."
"Okay." Huey said.
"Yay! See you then!" Jazmine said. Then they both parted ways.
Huey walked into his house, and he sighed, feeling at peace.
"Fine, damn it. We'll go."
"Thank you. Grandad!" Riley said. "You know, I almost prayed last night?" Riley asked.
"Yeah, and you cried." Huey said.
"Hey, shut up Huey." Riley said.
"It's good to know that we're going." Huey said. He walked upstairs. When he got upstairs, he closed his eyes. He had been in this situation before, dueling the blind warrior. But there was a new addition to this escapade. The beautiful lyrical girl, at the end of the forest.
Huey smiled, his eyes still closed. "Hello." He said.
"Mommy! Daddy! I'm back from my walk!" Jazmine called. She came into the house.
"Hah! Hah! WOOOOO!" Aunt Miyanne laughed. She wiped a tear from her eye. Jazmine was standing in the foyer.
"Jazmine! I'm in the kitchen!" Sarah shouted.
"Okay Mommy!" Jazmine called.
"Hey Jazmine!" Aunt Miyanne said. "Rub my feet."
"I would prefer not to." Jazmine said.
"Come on, you danm moo-lotto! Sit your yellow ass down, and RUB MY FEET! I'm the one with the injury here, and wht do you do? You act all high and fucking mighty!" Aunt Miyanne shouted.
"That's it!" Sarah shouted. Tom rushed downstairs.
Sarah and Tom both stood in the living room, Jazmine followed them in.
"I've had enough of you, you sweet potato face bitch!" Sarah shouted. "You shout at my daughter, cuss my food, emasculate my husband, and act like you're damn queen of the castle! You think just because you throw some cash at people, that gives you a right to bitch and moan about nothing? Well, you've got another thing coming to you honey! Fuck you!" Sarah shouted. She threw the bowl of soup against the wall. "Fuck your money. Fuck your broken leg! Fuck your worthless life!" Sarah yelled.
Aunt Miyanne sat down, petrified. Her hands clenched the couch arm rests. Her eyes were wide and wet.
"You know another thing, Miyanne? You're an evil bitch, who is cruel to my daughter! You're psychotic! You're just a pessimistic, sick, twisted, cynical, misanthropic, psychopath! You try to destroy people's lives, because you messed up your own, with your fucking existence in it!" Tom shouted. "You were born shit, and I hope you DIE SHIT!" Tom shouted. "If we could give you a thorough enough tirade, you would've been dead for three fucking years!" Tom shouted once more.
"NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR HOUSE!" Tom and Sarah hollered simultaneously, pointing to the door.
Aunt Miyanne stood up, her legs shaking out of fear, and realization.
"You want me to leave? Fine, I'll leave." She walked to the door. She turned her head back. "I'll send for my valuables." She closed the door behind her.
Sarah exhaled. "That felt good." She said.
Tom sat down. "Now I feel awful." Tom said.
"Don't." Sarah said.
"Mommy, daddy." Jazmine said, in shock. "That was the craziest, angriest thing I've ever seen."
She sat down. "Well, from you two, of course."
"Oh, sweetie." Sarah said. "We shouldn't have exploded in front of you."
"No, that's okay." Jazmine said. "It was crazy, but it's okay." Jazmine continued.
The three of them sat on the couch for a while.
