Hi. I have all the disclaimers, 'absolutely no offenses", etc. in the back.
=D This is the revision of Little Red Hen. Just read. ^_^
Little Henriette
Now, there's this young lady called Henriette. At first glance, she's your regular, average, law-abiding citizen. However, if you were to visit her house, you'd be rather surprised. For living with Henriette are CATherine, Igpay, Ogdai, and some fellow from Turkey.
What the amazing thing is that Henriette does everything. The others just laze around all day playing video games and tying up the phone line talking to their endless hordes of friends and their frequent expeditions onto the Internet.
How does Henriette stand this? I can barely even pick up after my Dad and brother without going crazy. He's my father for crying out loud! He's supposed to clea-[*Sees the glares from the readers* Ok, ok, I'll vent later. But my Da-heh, heh. sorry.I'll.uh.go back to the story. ^_^()].
Ahem. Yes, the uh.story. One day, Henriette just couldn't stand it anymore. This time, her brood wants a Play-X-Cube Jr. Frankly, this is quite enough! How is one supposed to maintain the house, cook the meals, wash the laundry, and bring home the paycheck while the others who live there doesn't do a single thing to help?! Not to mention that the Play-X- Cube Jr. is $504.74 (tax included) and that they'll want every game that comes with it ($54.12 each!)! O.O
Of course, Henriette steadfastly said "No," And of course, having to come home from work only to have to fight off four people screaming "PLEEEEEEEASE!!!!!! We wanna Play-X-Cube Jr.!!!!!!" while their vise-like grip on your leg is cutting off your circulation and you find the house covered with Post-It notes each with the inscription "Play-X-Cube Jr.!!!!!!!!". Well, it can wear you down.
So, after a week of this madness, Henriette says:
"Okay. Look. If you want a Play-Cube-X whatever, you are going to help around the house, ok? And you are all going to get jobs and give me 10% of your income to create a fund toward the Cube-Pix. After ten weeks, if you did a good enough job, I'll pay for the rest of it."
Of course, they said 'yeses', 'of courses' and '*snicker* yeah rights What? Yeah, sure!'
As the weeks went by, you would hear a very common 'conversation.'
"CATherine, can you help me fold the laundry?"
"I'm not your slave!"
"Ogdai, turn on the light please?"
"Can't you see I'm busy daydreaming?"
"Igpay, where's 10% of your income?"
"Uh..da.da.uh.da.da.uh..What? My CD-player is on."
"Fellow from Turkey, could you please throw me that shirt next to you?"
".Wha-? I can't hear you."
"I said."
"What? Hey.look, there's my pencil."
Ten weeks came and went. Henriette goes out and buys a Play-X- Cube Jr. and several games. She locks the door and the window in her room and plugs the console in her television. As she settled in comfortably to play the newest Fantasy Land/ Circle Hard creation, one would see four drooling faces plastered on the window.
A/N - Hi. I mean absolutely NO offense to anyone from Turkey or any other offense you can find. I'm not sure where Circle Hard came from, but it's most likely from one of Ashbear's (of the www.thechocoboforest.com) disclaimers from her FF8 fic, Castles in the Sky. If you can't tell, I really want one of the three new consoles (PS 2!!!) and that new game, Kingdom Hearts. ^_^()
OoOo.yeah.please review!
