Thressa popped open an eye to see her phone ringing, she reached over and looked at the caller id.
She quickly answered.
"Hey Bina, what's up?"
It wasn't Bina on the other line, it was a small voice, one that, other than her daughter, Thressa had yearned to hear.
She could hear Bina in the back ground coaxting Justice to say hi.
"Hi Aunt Fressa....come play with me."
The empty part of her chest suddenly filled with sunshine.
"Of co...."
The phone laid dead on the other side...Justice was finished talking and that was that.
Tears, happy ones, filled Thressa's soul and poured down her face.
The phone rang again.
"Hello?" was all that she could say.
"Hey Thressa, you got your orders these kids came home early and you and Alana are all they can talk about."
Bina's voice beamed through the reciever.
" I don't know Bina, mom and dad might still be mad at me, but i'm going to fucking try to get her, you know she misses them too!"
Thressa's voice was shaky but firm.
"Ok Bina said it IS worth a try you know that if not just come see the kids."
Bina and Thressa hung up the phone.
Thressa reached over and lightly shook Johnny's shoulders, she squeeled her next words.
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!! THE KIDS ARE HOME THEY'RE HOME WE GOTTA GO SEE THEM!"
She got up and started to do a booty dance on the bed, jumping and carrying on like a kindergartener.
"Theeee kiiids aaarrree ho oome!"
she chanted as Johnny grabbed her by the ankle and swept her off her feet.
Thressa's eyes were wide open as she continued to ramble on.
"the kids are home i gotta call mom and see if i can have Alana and i want you to go get dressed as the mad hatter justice LOOOOOVES the mad hatter and then we gotta..."
"Woah, Thressa! Calm the hell down! I can't comprehend you at the moment."
Johnny interrupted.
Thressa grabbed a pillow and struck Johnny across the top of the head.
"shut up you crabby old fart!!!! The kids are home and i got a million things i gotta do i cant even catch my breath go shower and dress up so we can go......."
Thressa's expression grew dark.
"Oh FUCK! I....have to.....CALL MOM."
Her face became white as a ghost, and her throat became dry.
"Then call her, you know that you have to, call her, I want to Meet Alana too."
It had been quite some time since Thressa was able to talk to her mother civilly...Hell it had been quite some time since they talked at all.
Thressa Knew it wasnt right that they held her daughter from seeing her, so she picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Johnny grabbed her around the waist for support as they both waited with anticipation for someone, ANY one to pick up.
"Hello?"
The voice on the other end sounded cheerful.
"Hi Mom, it's Thressa."
"HIIII, how are you? do you want to talk to Alana?"
she asked still oddly sounding cheerful.
"Well, i was wondering if i could come pick her up just for the day? Johnny will be with us, but Bina's kids are home early from time with their dad and i KNOW they all love to be around eachother."
what happened next shocked and amazed Thressa.
"I don't see why not, just have her home before bed time, thats around 10:30ish. It is still summer break. Do you want to talk to her?"
"Yeah, if she wants to."
"AAALAAAANAAAA pick up the phone it's your mom!"
"Hi."
Alana half whispered half talked into the phone.
"Hi Beautiful, how are you?"
"Go ood. did you know that fish fart?"
" No Alana I didn't know that."
" yeah they sometimes breathe in too much air from their gills and it has to escape from their back half, and did you know that frogs had teeth?"
Alana was always full of facts and always wanted to share them.
"No, i didn't know that, but i want to come get you so you can see Bina's kids, they came home early and they miss us, can you tell me more about the frog teeth when i get you?"
"Sure, mom, can i bring my DS?"
Thressa took a deep breath, as she was letting it out she uttered a "yeah."
"get ready i'll be there in 30 minutes."
Thressa pulled her unwashed hair back in a pony tail grabbed yesterday's tee off the floor and pulled on a pair of holey sweats as she yelled, "Love ya!" In Johnny's direction.
Thressa got Alana, all the way back she was a chatter box the first fact was of course about the frog's teeth, that it was a tough ridge around their bottom jaw so they could "chew" their food.
"Alana, do you remember Captain Jack Sparrow?"
Thressa asked.
" Yeah mom, he's played by some OLD guy, that you love, named Johnny Depp or something like that."
Alana rolled her eyes and turned on her DS so she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable with the conversation.
"Alana, Johnny lives with me."
Alana looked up with a straight face and glared past her ds at me.
"Mom, i just caught a level 45 Nideran, its a rare one, you are distracting me."
Thressa and Alana made their way to the house.
Johnny was already dressed up but didnt put on the mask he had decided on.
" Johnny, this is Alana, shes a bit busy catching Poke'mon at the moment."
Thressa took the game from her hands.
"Mom! I was in the middle of a battle can i have it back now PLEASE?"
"No, you at least be nice and say hi."
Alana raised her hand, her face serious.
"Hi. your dressed funny. Now can i have it back?"
"Alana that was RUDE!"
"OK, FINE! Hi i'm Alana i'm not looking for best friends, not looking to see mom hurt again and especially not looking for you."
She stole the game from her mom's grip and ran up to her room.
"you do know your grounded you little brat!"
Thressa yelled after her.
"It's ok Thressa, shes nervous."
Johnny answered.
"yeah, but that's no need to be rude to you. Baby why did you choose a mask?"
Johnny laughed.
"because I didn't want to scare HER off the first sighting, guess it wouldn't have mattered if i was dressed in costume or not."
"Ok, well, then let's get this show on the road...Alana, come down here so we can go to Bina's"
Thressa heard foot steps then a loud slam of Alana's bedroom door followed by her running down the stairs.
" For THAT young lady, you are grounded from your DS the whole time you're here."
Alana pouted the whole way there.
She was the first out of the car, she opened the door with out knocking, pushed pased the kids and plopped her butt on the couch in front of the t.v.
"Alana Mae you get over here! your cousins have been waiting to see you!"
"FINE!"
"Alana's here, Alana's here Alana's here."
Both Bryan and Justice both chanted in unison.
"Alana, go play with them. But NOT before you guys give me big hugs and kisses, i missed you both! I love you."
Justice scrambled up Thressa's side.
" I missed you Aunt Fressa...I love you, do you want to play too?"
Bryan followed in his hyper little way.
"I love you too wanna play transformers?"
"NO! barbies!"
Justice insisted.
"Here Aunt Thressa you play Optimus Prime, he's an autobot, not a decepticon, hes a good guy."
"Ok, Kiddoes, we can play Transforming Barbies in a minute, i brought some one with me."
Both kids looked dissapointed as Thressa left the room. when she returned, the kids including Alana were on the floor playing.
Johnny spoke up.
"Do you know why a raven is like a writing desk?"
Bryan screamed as he jumped up and ran behind Bina, Justice sat there giggling.
Alana got up and pushed past him.
"Yeah its cause the raven and writing desk both have the same sound that begin their names, plus a raven is black and there is black ink on the writing desk....can i be excused?"
She pushed past him again and went outside on the swings.
Johnny muttered something in a Scottish accent as if to be angry and keep the show on for the kids.
" Mad Hatter, Mad Hatter!!! Aunt Fressa, you and Alana brought Mad Hatter!!!!"
"ey nay rest me bones here on account of those naysayers, i fly by hat thats the only way to go."
The mad hatter put his finger to his mouth.
"ye be hearing that?"
Justice whispers.
"no, what is it?"
"Why it's Alice, shes calling for me, its tea time and time to Fudderwhaken."
Johnny gave Justice back to her mommy as he left the room as only the Mad Hatter could.
a little while later Bryan looked up surprized.
"Jack Sparrow!!!"
johnny had changed his clothes from Mad Hatter to a pair of jeans and a white tee shirt, he put on a bandanna, and added some eye liner.
Thressa and Bina were trying NOT to swoon all over him.
The day went on with Alana moping, but gettinga bit closer and friendlier than before with Johnny.
finally it was time to go and take her home.
They all got into the car.
"I'm sorry, you are a nice person, just that i'm sorry."
that's all Alana said till we dropped her off.
" I love you mom, come get me again, it was fun once i got to know him."
" I love you too Fart head. I'll talk to Grandma about a sleep over some time soon.
Johnny and Thressa got home and relaxed for the rest of the evening reading and doing crafts.
