Mood Swings and A.D.D

Friday, June 14, 2013

It’s nice knowing I don’t have to plan another birthday for a while. Sure Riku’s is coming up, but it’s not my problem.

Speaking of Riku, he seems to like Cloud and Zack. I even suggested the house down the street and Zack seems to think they can afford it. Cloud is a little iffy on adopting him so soon after the two just go married, but a few minutes with Riku and I think he changed his mind.

Now Isdela is bugging Vincent about marriage and kids of their own. What is with all the speed marrying recently?

“Run,” I hear little footsteps stampeding down the stairs.

“Every man for himself,” Loz yells. They haven’t been able to put that laser tag game up since they got their hands on them yesterday.

“Come one Riku,” Yazoo says, “They went this way.” Did Izzy really rig those things to work outside Loz’s room? I should have seen that coming.

“I gone get you,” Little Riku calls. I sent Sephy out this morning to search for Xemnas and haven’t heard back yet. I think Xem’s finally ditched the poor kid and went into hiding. It only makes it easier for Cloud and Zack to be able to give the kid a real home. Sephiroth still hates the idea, but he’ll get over it.

Wait, if I get stuck with Riku for more than a week I’m gonna have to plain another birthday… damn it! 

I’m so board… and I want chocolate. Screw it; I’m making Cloud and Zack plan Riku’s party. They want to adopt the kid so bad they can start now. Gods I got really moody and A.D.D right there.

“I can’t find him,” oh look Sephiroth’s home.

“I knew he’d go off grid one of these days,” I say. “Lucky for Riku you tried to get all buddy buddy with him lately or gods know what would have happened to that kid.”

“I’m going to go get you some chocolate,” he said walking back out the door.

“Get dinner too,” I called, “I don’t feel like doing anything.” I don’t remember being this moody before. I’m such a walking contradiction.

“Watch out Zelda,” Kadaj yells running back though the house. The little pup barks like crazy as the quartette run back upstairs. Laser tag… really Izzy? I’m going to have no peace at all in this house. Not that I have peace anyway.

I think my A.D.D is tied to my Insomnia. I could not get to sleep last night and I’ve never had an Insomnia issue before. I hope this doesn’t carry over to Kairi. It’s going to be tough enough with four kids in the house, that I can already see, but I don’t need her awake for days on end. Who I’m I kidding, I’ve been down this road three times already. Shut up brain! You’re making my head hurt!

“Hiya sis,” she doesn’t even bother to knock now.

“What is it Aranel?”

“Well you seemed more stressed then normal. Everything okay?”

“My brain won’t shut up, laser lag is annoying, Xem’s gone of grid leaving us with Riku and the dog won’t stop barking.”

“Well I’m here now so cheer up.”

“Where have Izzy and Vincent run off too this time?”

“I didn’t ask I just told them to drop me off here. I would have gone to see Rude, but he and Reno are still on that mission.”

“Come on Loz,” Kadaj yelled.

“I’m right behind you,” Loz called back.

“Did they go to sleep last night,” Aranel asked.

“I think they crashed around two this morning,” I answered.

“Well no wonder you couldn’t get to sleep! Where was Sephy during all this?”

“He bailed around midnight,” I said. “Something about overthrowing the government to insure Kairi is queen one day.”

“Excuse? I thought world take over was my thing,” Aranel protested. “Do we need to set Sephirella down and have a chat, cuz I don’t like him cutting in on my project.”

“No one’s taking world domination from you,” I whine. “Sephy’ll fail like always and Cloud’ll drag his ass home.”

“Yeah well Cloud may have some help this go round.”

My phone jumps across the coffee table. I forgot I’d put that thing on vibrate.

“Speaking of Cloud,” I say answering the phone. “What’s up?”

I have to hold my phone away from my ear. I don’t catch a word he’s saying, but I can hear Tifa in the background.

“Hey Cloud,” I yell into the phone, “You mind moving somewhere a little quiter. Heaven doesn’t sound like too much fun right now.”

“Sorry,” he says, “Zack just told Tifa about everything and she’s not too happy.”

“She’s a big girl Cloud she’ll get over it,” I assure him.

“You guys keep saying that, but she’s only getting worse and Vincent’s not here to shut her up.”

“Yeah he’s busy,” I mutter.

“Well tell Izzy to hand over her fuck buddy long enough to keep the bar from blowing up.”

“No can do Cloud,” I say, “She’s not here. Its just Aranel tonight.” Yazoo chaises Kadaj back through the living room followed by Riku and Loz. “And the kids…”

“Oh come on,” he whines, “What are they up to now?”

“Don’t know don’t care to know… and you’re one to talk!”

“Okay fine,” he sighs, “running off and getting married was a bigger shocker than we thought.”

“Sounds like it,” I tease.

“Be nice to me,” he demands, “It’s bad enough Zack and I are most likely going to get kicked out without you being mean.”

“I’m doped up on Jenova cells and Mako right now! I can’t help if carrying Sephiroth’s offspring makes me meaner and loopier than normal.”

“Yeah how do you deal with that,” Aranel asks. “I’ve been meaning to ask I just didn’t want to seem rude.”

“Never stopped you before,” I say flatly.

“What was that,” Cloud asked.

“Aranel being rude,” I say. She smiles a big toothy grin at me.

“Speaking of Rude,” Cloud says, “I saw him earlier. Seems he misses his little stalker.”

“Oh really,” I say looking over at her.

“What,” she grumbles

“Yeah,” Cloud giggles, “Says he was going to ask her out he just didn’t know how. He’s not real good with this sort of thing.”

“What’s he saying,” she demands.

“So where is he now,” I ask Cloud.

“Hotel next door,” he says, “Fourth door on the left, third floor.”

“Hotel next to Heaven, Fourth door Left side Third floor,” I say to Aranel. “Go get your man.”

She stares at me wide eyed for a moment before almost falling off the couch trying to rush for the door. When she final stumbles out of the house I start laughing.

“So where are you and Zack staying,” I ask.

“Zack has a friend in town who’s away on business,” Cloud tells me. “He asked Zack to check in on his cats this weekend so I think we’ll just crash there.”

“Just be sure to wash the sheets before his friend comes home.”

“Har Har Har You’re so funny,” Cloud says sarcastically.

“Where was Aranel off to in such a hurry,” Sephy asks coming though the front door with dinner and a tub of chocolate ice cream.

“Talk at ya later Cloud,” I say, “Sephy brought me chocolate.”
