Lock the Door

Friday, May 3, 2013

I rolled over trying to go back to sleep, I did not want to get up. My boys had other plans though.

“Your not getting lucky Cloud,” I heard Sephiroth yell, “Why are you even still here?”

“I’ve got nowhere else to go,” Cloud yelled, “You happy now! Tifa kicked me out!”

“So you came here?”

I sigh, forcing myself to get up and head downstairs.

“Yuffie’s on Tifa’s side and I don’t want to ask anyone else for help.”

“So you came here?”

“Leave me alone!”

I make my way into the kitchen to make myself some tea. I get my favorite mug and my teapot down from the cabinet.

“Don’t you have any other friends,” Sephiroth asked.

“I said leave me alone,” Could demanded. I put water in the teapot and put it on the stove.

“What about that stupid looking red-head,” Sephiroth pondered, “What was his name?”

“Reno’s gonna take whatever side Yuffie takes. His completely whipped,” Cloud proclaims. I look up in the freezer and grab an ice cream sandwich, “Life’s too short,” I mumble to myself.

“Well you could always ask Shinra,” Sephiroth suggest.

“Hell No,” Cloud yells. I pull a tea bag out of the My Little Pony tin Aranel got for me last Christmas.

“I just don’t understand why you would come here of all places,” Sephiroth says. “It’s kind of delusional.”

“Your delusional,” Cloud fires back. I pour the hot water over the tea bag in my mug. “Your delusional… he’s delusional…” I put the teapot down, taking the mug in one hand and the ice cream sandwich in the other I head through the breakfast room to the living room. “And my children are taking apart the stereo…”  

“I wanted to know how it works,” Yazoo said frustrated, smacking one of the speakers with a wrench. I sit my tea and ice cream down on the end table and grab Yazoo’s arm, pulling him up to his feet. I drag him through the house to the backdoor.

“Out,” I demand, “All three of you!” Kadaj and Loz drag there feet to the back door. “Good going Yazoo,” Kadaj whines. The boys make there way into the backyard. I shut and lock the door behind them. I pick an empty milk jug out of the recycling bin and carry it to the breakfast room.

“One of you delusionals clean that up, fill it with water and stick it on the back porch for ‘em,” I demand, “And lock the damn door.”

“You’re really going to lock them out of the house,” Sephiroth ask.

“Yes,” I say.

“What if they have to use the bathroom,” Cloud asks.

“Don’t care”

“And what do you plan to do in the mean time,” Sephy asks me.

“Fix My Stereo!”

Later

With the boys stuck outside, it turned out to be an all right day. Well minus Sephiroth and Cloud bickering at each other and having to put the stereo back together. I decided to send Sephy out Wutaiinese* for dinner, if only to end the auguring for a little bit. I took this time as an opportunity to get a relaxing bubble bath in. I was finally relaxing when I hard a crass come from downstairs followed by Kadaj’s maniacal laughter.

“What know,” I wonder aloud. I get out of the tube and pull the stopper. Drying off, I walk back into my bedroom to get into my pjs. All the while I hear Cloud trying desperately to calm the madness downstairs.

Once I’m in my pjs I make my way downstairs to see Cloud hog tied in the living room, a proud look on Kadaj’s face. “They tricked me,” Cloud said. A pleading look in his eyes.

“Yeah they do that,” I inform him. “Alright, untie Cloud and go get washed up. Your dad will be back with dinner soon and all three of you are covered in sand.”

“We buried Loz,” Yazoo informs me.

“It wasn’t as much fun as they said it would be,” Loz pouted.

“I don’t want to untie him,” Kadaj protested.

“Too bad do it anyway,” I demand. Kadaj sighs and does as his told. Then the three boys disappear upstairs.

“I would say sorry,” I said helping Cloud up, “But I told you to keep the door locked.”

“They said they were out a water.” I shake my head, “Never trust my little monster hun, they are Sephiroth’s kids after all.”

I head into the kitchen to start gathering plates to take to the dinning room. “Help me out,” I ask of Cloud. “If you’re going to stay here you may as well be of some use.”

“Fair enough,” Cloud says coming to help. Just then Sephiroth comes through the door with two bags full of food. “Dinning room,” I call. “I know,” He groaned. “He doesn’t like going out much does he,” Cloud asks. “Nope,” I say, “That’s why I always send him after the take out.”

Cloud and I laugh as we hear the boys run back down and into the dinning room.

*Note: Incase your not too familiar with the FFVII universe, Wutaiinese would be like Japanese or Chinese. So basiclly I sent Sephy out for Asian takeout.
