(July of 2005, sophianas 26) Sophiana had given up. She plopped down in her favorite chair in kitchen of her and Charlies Australian home. She just collapesed and just watched as norah ran around and around and around chasing her poor rottweiler, Mango. She had given up on trying to to stop her little toddler from chasing down the dog. She really did try. But the Norah was too much. She got up and walked to the kitchen to grab some food to try to calm the dog and Norah and a drink for herself. She glanced at the mirrior in the kitchen and laughed at herself. She looked tooo funny. Her blue hair was in a sloppy bun, she had an old pair of converses on and a green tshirt covered up with a big pair of maternity overals. even that size was looking strechted with her huge belly.She them looked up to the dutch door where who other than....
Hey heather and Amiee. Why don't you go play with Norah and Mango?"She suggested as the ran off to play with Norah and Mango. Sophiana gave kairu and hug and said "i'm beat." and cracked open a drink for her and kairu."I don't know when Charlie will be home...three hourish...i think... i hope" She sighed and took a sip of her drink.
She said glancing at the clock over the stove, "it's only 2 in the afternoon. What are you doing here? Not that i'm complaining." Sophiana started "i'm soo glad Amiee and Heather are here to distract her. I've been running around since lunch."
"Hmm." Kairu said, setting the girls down. "Mawmey, I'm gonna 'urt me if she calls me a twoll again." Heather said, staring up at Kairu with big eyes. Her dirty blond hair, cut short, was put into a side ponytail. "Hea-der!!! why cand I call you a twoll, but you cand call me an acromandulah?!" Aimee wined. Heather turned to face her, light-pink dress spinning around. Aimee turned in response, matching green dress ballooning out. The two girls bickered in loud voices, threatening to steal each others letters when they came, rip out the clips that held their hair up oh so cutely, on and on. "HEY!" Kairu yelled when she could take no more. The girls looked up at her. "Can I get through?" she asked. They nodded, moving to the side. Kairu walked limply to the table. "Pour me some of whatever you're drinking." She said, flopping onto the surface in front of her.
Sophiana put on the must friendly of voices she could manage at this leavel of tiredness. "Hey, Amiee, Heather, Norah, if you girls are super good, When Charlie gets home we will buy all three of you ice cream!" All the girls face lite up at the thought of ice cream."Okay, mummy will be good! i promise."Norah had a huge grin on her face as all the girls ran into norahs room to play with her dolls. Sophiana took a look at her glass and poured more into the both of there glasses. She looked up at Kairu and said "Cheers." and chugged the whole glass.
kairu followed. Slamming the glass onto the table, she took a deep breath. "Golly...Aimee and Heather are cute 'n I love 'em, but GOD they can bicker! And heather inhearited my mornings!" She said grimancing. "Just this morning she threw her doll through her window. Smith tried to use magic, but some bottle of sunshine had to steal his wand!" She threw her hands into the air as she spoke. Kairu sighed. "gah....I'm so tired..." She said.
Sophiana sat there listening, And had an idea. "Hey do you wanna have Cassi take take care of the babys? And then we could go to dinner with Charlie and Smith?" Sophiana suggested
Kairu's face lit up. "Of corse! Off to the fireplace!!!" She jumped up and started looking for Aimee and Heather. Shortly after she came through the door, holding the children's hands. "MAWMEY!!!! I DO'ANA GOA CASSIEEEEEE!!! I WANNA SAY 'ERE!!!" Aimee yelled. the girls where covered in chocolate, smeared all over their faces. Kairu sighed. "Let's go home and wash up, ok?" She said, picking the girls up and placing them on her hips. "Lunch!" Heather cried. Kairu looked at both of them with loving eyes. "Alright, we'll wash up, eat lunch, and then go to auntie Cassi's." She began to walk through the dutch-door, then turned to sophiana. "Bye, soph." she said in an exasperated voice. She began to walk through, but doubled back. "Oh- and I'll be drinking that later." Kairu gestured to the drink on the table, then disappeared behind the door.
Sophiana sighed and went to go find find Norah to go and get her ready for a night at Cassis. She went up into Norahs room to find the whole room covered in chocolate syrup. Everything the walls, furniture and everything else was absloutly covered in a thick coat of chocolate. "NORAH AUDEREY POL GOLIGHTLY!!!!" sophiana screamed, and then a little chocolate covered girl came out of the closet crying. "Am sorri mummy! i didnt mean toooo!" Norah cried and kept crying on sophianas lap. Sophiana cuddled her and keep saying okay. She looked Norah in the eyes and said "Norah that was very bad of you three. And i will tell aunt kairu. But you can still sleep over at aunt cassis, go out side and play." Norahs eyes lite up. "Thank you mummy!" She kissed Sophiana and ran outside. Sophiana pulled out her wand "Cleanio!" The room was no longer chocolated. She grabbed a bag and packed it up for Norah. And went down stairs to make a lunch for Norah.
A little while later Kairu appeared back through the door, with the twins by her side. She wore a trenchcoat, but her hair was styled into a wavy bi-colour flow. "Hey soph." she said, turning to face her children. "Heather, go and find your dolly. Aimee, please go help her, m'kay?" She asked. The girls wore matching jumpers of either red or blue gigham, with alternate buttons on the thick straps. "Mawmey, hea-der said I cand 'elp 'er." Aimee explained. Heather turned to her. "Aimee-ee! I towd you you could'n 'elp me 'cause you got the blue dwess, 'n I wan'n the blue dwess." Aimee stood, contemplating her next move. " Race ya to tha doll!!!" she yelled, and burst out into the next room. Heather followed. Kairu looked up at Sophiana. "Heather left her doll.' She needlesly explained.
Sophiana sighed as she looked over kairus thin figure. She then had too look at her own pregant outfit. Yes it looked nice, but not as nice as kairu. "You look ravishing darling!" Sophiana cooed over her. Norah, Heather, and Amiee all returned with dolls in matching outfits. "You all look so cute!" Norahs orange hair was in a short ponytail on the side of her head. She had a khaki jumper on her shoes were a pair of lavender converses. Sophiana smiled at all of the girls lined up so neatly.
"well thank you, sophiana. You look amazing yourself!" Kairu said. "Yeah, auntie soph, you 'ook 'mazing!" Aimee chimed in. Heather agreed. "well then, lets go off to the uh.. the uh.... well, Auntie Cassi's house!" Kairu anounced cheerfuly as she turned to sophiana. "Where's your fireplace?" She asked.
Sophiana laughed "Over here in the living room." She walked everyone over and stepped in holding hands with Norah, they waved goodbye and poof! they were gone.
Kairu followed, holding hands with each of the girls. She gave each of them a handfull of floo powder, instucting them on the ways of travel; and with a "Cassi's House!" They dissappered into the fireplace. When kairu returned, she was alone. "huh, that Cassi never ceases to amaze me." She said in awe. "SUPER MOM!" She shouted, grining. She turned the corner to find Smith and Charlie Waiting in the kitchen. "Oh! uh, yeah, so where do you guys wanna go to dinner?" She asked, waiting for Soph to come back.
Sophiana and Norah came out from what appered the bedroom. "Wrong fireplace" she laughed. Cassi came chatted with everyone and took the trio to what appared a play room. Sophiana turned to Smithru and Charlie. "Where to?"She asked Charlie and Smithru.
"Hmm.." Smith contemplated, thinking about the possibilitys. "I know! let's go to outback!" he said. "Yeah, they have a nice totaly original theme song..." Kairu said sarcasticaly. "But they have nice food. So yeah, I'm all for it." She turned to the table, removing her long tan trench coat to a revealing black dress. "Gah. This thing is to tight." She said, grabbing her wand out of a pocket in the coat. She muttered a spell, and the dress expanded a bit. "That's better!" She sighed.
When they arived at the out back, kairu spotted the stuffed kangaroo at the entryway. "GWAAA!" She shouted, running behind Smith. They cycled eachother for several moments. "I DON'T WANA BE KILLED!" He shouted. Finaly, a waitress stoped them. "Welcome...to...er, welcome to outback." She said, eyeing Smith.
Sophiana spoke up "Table for 4. Far away from this evil kangaro. Aren't you a family resturant? How dare you have such an evil thing so close to children." The lady grimaced and took them all to the farthest place away from the kangaroo.
Kairu reluctanly sat down in a dim-lit booth. "So, what do you guys want to drink?" The waitress asked as Smith sat down beside her. "Uh, butterbeer." Kairu requested. Smith elbowed her a bit, and whispered "Muggle!" in a hushed voice. She sat up. "Oh! Er, water." She corrected. "Coke." Smith said as the waitress jotted down the orders impatintly. God, these folks are gonna get me fired! she thought, turning to sophilie.
Sophiana said "win-" she was cut off by the evil non alchol for you look every one was giving her."coke" she muttered. Charlies turn "I'll have a tea. With a lemon for mongolia, that is sliced in to thirds. Right beside the third ice cube from the top. And if you were to put 3 teaspoons of peach neacter that'd be great." he smiled up at the confused waiter. She then returned with the drinks. Everyone accepeted theres. But when she set down Charlie he frowned "oo noo this lemon is clearly from spain." he looked at her "one dollar please" the waitress snapped her head in his direction "sir please be quiet." charlie thought about it "fine then instead i'll have coconut shrimp please."
the waitress sighed and took everyones orders, when the food came out it was brought to them by someone diffrent. Sophiana spoke up "Excuse me where did Natalie go?" The waitress frowned. "she quit" and walked away.
"Yeah, shrimp!" Kairu agreed. She siped her water koily. "Coconut shrimp? I've never had any before. Are they good?" Smith asked, a quizical look on his dimly lit face.
Sophiana grinned "there are like heaven on earth" the new waiter brought them out, there were 3 plates. Charlie asked the waiter "ummm i ordered 2 coconut shrimps not 3." the lady pointed at sophiana "she asked me to make it 3." sophiana smiled as she helped herself to her own plate. "yes i did the 3 of you can share those 2 plates. i preggy i get my own" she started to eat and the waiter walked away.
Smith laughed at this, then picked up a shrimp. "They look ok..." He slowly took a bite, but his expression was that of someone who was forced to eat mold. "GOOD GOD!" He yelled. The waitress eyed him arngrily. "That's discusting!" he said as Kairu took the plate. "Suit yourself." She said, picing up the un-finished shrimp he had so carelessly thrown into her water. She placed it on the napkin as Smith writhed in disgust.
Sophiana looked up "its shrimp covered in crispy delious coconut in a creole mango sauce. whats not to like smith?" she kept eating until she stated she needed to go. She pushed herslf out of the booth and returned a minute later with a beer in hand.
Kairu eyed her beer. "Can you get me one too? I gotta wash that taste out of my mouth." Smith said. "Shrimp covered in crispy delious coconut in a creole mango sauce..." He said under his breath. "Me too. Heck, why don't you just get us all beers?" kairu said, but then saw charlie sipping his spainish lemon tea. " 'cept for charles here." She corrected.
CHarlie eyed the beer, got up and poked her stomach. "do you want a druggy, alcoholic baby?!!?!! i don't! "he said snatched the beer away and started to finish it. Sophiana started to attack him "give me my beer ya pansy!!" she failed all over him, charlie protected it with his childs life "no druggy babys for you" he yelled
