Chapter Four, Who Is Emily?

~Miyako's P.O.V~

"Wow your looking sharp today brick", boomer said as he smiled down at my laptop. Boomer and I are using my laptop to video chat with our friends. We're on a three way call with brick, momoko, kaoru and butch. "I have to wear this for a scene today.. But your right I look good in a suit", brick said as he smirked. "I'm surprised momoko can keep her hands off of you!", butch said as he laughed. "Oh shut up butch!", momoko said as she blushed. Kaoru and butch both started to laugh at momoko. I sat there smiling down at the screen seeing my best friends being happy and joking with each other again. It rarely happens that we all get to video chat each other like this. It's nice to be able to get together like this even if its not in person. "I've really missed talking to you guys", I said after every one quit laughing. "I've missed you too. This whole time difference thing sucks", momoko said. "Yea isn't it late there Miyako?", kaoru asked. "It's a little after eight at night", I said. "Ohh it's only a little after two pm here", butch said. "It's only around eleven am here", brick said. "Are you guys on a break right now?", butch asked. "Kinda. We're on a lunch break. After this we have to go back to filming", momoko said. "I could go for lunch right about now", butch said as he smiled. "We already had lunch", kaoru said as she smiled. "Then lets go for a second lunch", butch said. "Didn't you guys just get out of school or something?", I asked. "Yea. We're just sitting in the grass under the oak tree using the colleges wifi now", kaoru said. "Ohh", boomer said. "Are you guys still at work? It looks like your in an office?", brick asked. "Yeah we're still in my office. We was just putting in some extra time", I said. "At eight at night?", kaoru asked. "Yeah. We've been working really hard on some designs", boomer said. "Speaking of designs! Thank you guys so much for the clothes you sent in the mail the other day. I love the dresses there so beautiful!", momoko said as she smiled. "Your welcome. I designed them just for you. No one else in the world will have a dress like that", I said as I smiled. "Hey how come you never design us clothes?", butch asked. "Butch, that's because you only ask for lingerie for kaoru and we don't design that", boomer said. "Your such a perv butch", brick said as he laughed. "Things never change do they?", momoko said as she laughed to. "Hey I have a bone to pick with you!", butch said as his face turned serious. "Wait who? Me?", momoko asked. "Yes you!", butch said. "What the hell did I do?", momoko asked with a serious face. "Do you realize it's been a month since you sent us cookies or any thing that you bake", butch said with a serious tone. "Yeah he is right!", kaoru said also in a serious tone. Brick, boomer, momoko, and I couldn't help but bust out laughing. "I thought I did some thing bad! You two got so serious!", momoko said as she laughed. "This is serious!", butch said. "I'm sorry guys I've just been really busy. I hardly have time to do anything in my free time except for sleep", momoko said. "It's honestly the truth. We're so busy we hardly have time to spend with each other", brick said. "Pfft what ever! I bet you two spend all of your free time messing around", butch said jokingly. "No!", momoko said as she blushed. "We don't even have time for that. Like last night we planned on spending time together but we ended up going to sleep because we was so exhausted", brick said. "You mean you went to sleep", momoko said. "Well if you would of been home sooner I wouldn't of fell asleep", brick said as he looked at momoko. "I'm sorry. it wasn't my fault you know", momoko said. "Well you should have woken me up", brick said. "You looked exhausted! I couldn't! You don't know how badly I wanted to wake you up but I didn't!", momoko said. Momoko and brick was both frowning at each other. "Trouble in paradise?", butch asked jokingly. "No", brick said. "We will talk about this later. Now is not the time", momoko said quietly to brick. "Alright", brick said. "Are you two fighting?", a small voice asked. "Huh?", momoko and brick both asked as they turned there heads in the same direction looking away from there laptop. "Oh no. We're not fighting", momoko said as she smiled. "Yeah no fighting here", brick said as he smiled. "Hey would you like to come say hi to our friends?", momoko asked. "You mean the power puff girls?!", the voice asked. "And the rowdy ruff boys to", brick said. "Sure!", the voice said. "Well come here", momoko said. "Okay!", the voice said. Momoko pulled a little girl up onto her lap. The little girl wore a pink dress. She had long hair that looked like brick's hair color and she had pink eyes just like Momoko's. if I didn't know any better I'd swear that she is there child but I know she is just an actress. "Hey guys this is the actress that plays my daughter in the TV show. This is Emma", momoko said. "And Emma this is miyako, boomer, kaoru and butch", brick said as he pointed at the screen. He must be pointing to each one of us as he said our names. "Hello, it's nice to meet you all", Emma said as she smiled politely. "Hi Emma", we all said as we smiled and waved. "Wow I can't believe how much she looks like you two", boomer said. "Well it's the casters job to find a specific looking actress", brick said. "Luckily they found a girl with bricks hair color", momoko said. "So the pink eye color is just from contacts then right?", I asked. "Yeah", momoko said. "That must suck. Having to put contacts in every day", kaoru said. "It's okay. I'm just glad I get to work with brick and momoko. There really nice", Emma said. "I bet they play really good parents", I said. "They do. I love watching them act. Especially the fighting scenes with the swords", Emma said. "Do you get to have fighting scenes too?", kaoru asked. "No... They say I'm not old enough so I have to act scared and pretend to be protected my brick or momoko", Emma said. "Maybe when your older the director will give you a fighting scene", momoko said. "I hope so. I'd like to fight along side you two", Emma said. "You know Emma you seem really mature for a little kid", boomer said. "It's kind of my job to be mature", Emma said as she smiled. "I don't see how you can memorize so many lines. I have a hard time remembering information when I'm taking an exam", butch said. "I guess I just have a good memory", Emma said. "I think she memorized lines better than I do and I'm 21 years old!", brick said as he laughs. "Face it brick your getting old", butch joked. "I'm not that old!", brick said as he frowned. "Yes you are! Your starting to get wrinkles!", butch said as he smirked. "What?!", brick asked in shock. "No! No no no! He is lying! You look fine brick! We're not old enough for wrinkles yet", momoko said as she put her hand on brick's shoulder trying to comfort him. "Well you may not be old enough for wrinkles but you can definitely see your gray hairs momoko!", butch said. "What?!", momoko asked as she put her hand on her forehead covering up her bangs. Both kaoru and butch busted out laughing at Momoko's sudden panic. "He is lying! You don't have gray hairs!", brick said. "If I ever get gray hairs its going to be from you butch!", momoko said. "Yeah butch your such an A-S-S", brick said. "I know what that spells", Emma said as she looked at brick. "Oops", brick said as he looked at Emma. "Brick you can't curse in front of a child!", boomer said. "I didn't! I spelled it out!", brick said. "I think she is old enough to spell three lettered words brick!", I said. "I'm sorry! I'm not usually around a child!", brick said. "We can tell", kaoru said as she smiled. "Momoko I need you in my chair right now!", a voice called. "Ahww... okay Anna ill be right there", momoko said as she frowned. "Do you need to go?", I asked. "Yeah.. My make up artist needs me. But I'm glad I got to talk to you guys", momoko said as Emma hopped off her lap. "Bye", Emma said as she waved. "Bye Emma", we all said as Emma left. "We need to do this again some time", momoko said. "30 seconds Akatsutsumi!", a voice called again. "Alright! Damn Anna ill be there in a minute!", momoko said as she giggled. "You better hurry before she drags you off again", brick said as he chuckled. "I know.. I gotta go guys. Bye! Love you all!", momoko said as she smiled and waved. "Bye momoko", we all said as she walked away. "Momoko and her make up artist have a love hate relationship", brick said. "How's that?", kaoru asked. "They love spending time together but momoko hates being in the chair all the time", brick said. "Do you have the same make up artist?", I asked. "Yeah Anna works on me too", brick said. "So she puts on your wolf ears?", boomer asked. "Yeah they just kinda clip in my hair", brick said. "Does it hurt?", kaoru asked. "It kinda pulls my hair but its not so bad. The wolf fangs suck though", brick said. "Miyako I thought you was busy working?", a voice asked. I quickly looked up to see a woman wearing a light blue dress with long blonde curly hair and blue eyes staring at me with her arms crossed. "Oh hello mother. I was just taking a break and talking to my friends.", I said. "Sorry guys we gotta go", boomer said quietly. "Boomer is right. You shouldn't be wasting time chatting with friends when you should be working. You know we are on a tight schedule and the deadline is coming soon", mom said. "Sorry", boomer and I both apologized as my mother walked over to us. "Now show me the designs you have come up with", mom said as she pushed the lid of my laptop down closing it. "Mom! I didn't get to tell them good bye!", I said as I looked up at her. "They will forgive you. Now show me your designs so I can leave. I'm tired of this place and I want to go home", mom said. "Your telling me", I muttered. "Did you say some thing?", mom asked. "No", I lied as I quickly handed her the designs boomer and I drew up. Mom quickly looked through the designs and smiled. "These look great! Ill have to send these to Emily", mom said as she smiled. "Emily?", I asked. A wave of panic suddenly washed over my moms face but she quickly composed herself. "She was one of our top workers. We sent her over to America to run our American branch but she should be returning soon since her time is up over there", mom said. "Why have I never heard of her?", I asked. "Because there is nothing you need to know", mom said as she turned and started to leave the room. I watched my mom quickly walk out of the room as if she was trying to avoid a conversation. I looked over at boomer and he looked just as confused as I am. "Emily?", boomer asked. "I've never heard any one talk about her? If she was a big deal here before we got here then why haven't we heard of her?", I asked. "You don't think there trying to hide some thing from us do you?", boomer asked. "I don't know?", I said as I shrugged. "Maybe we should ask around about her", boomer said. "Well judging by the look on my mom's face I think there is some thing about Emily that my mom doesn't want us to know", I said. "Hmmm.. I think your right", boomer said. "Well what ever it is... I want to know", I said. "Me to. Your mom looked really panicked so she has to be hiding some thing about Emily... Maybe Emily did some thing bad for the company so they sent her away and are now trying to cover up her mistake?", boomer said. "If she made a big mistake then why would they send her to run the American branch?", I asked. "Your right. If she made a terrible mistake for the company they wouldn't want her to run a part of there company in a different country", boomer said. "Maybe we should talk to my father about this", I said. "Do you think he will tell you any thing? If your mom tried to avoid the conversation then maybe he will too", boomer said. "Well I guess we will find out tomorrow then", I said. "Why don't we go home for the night? We can talk more about this tomorrow", boomer said. I smiled and nodded my head. "Lets go home boomer", I said as I grabbed boomer's hand. Boomer smiled as he leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips. I couldn't help but blush as he pulled away. It's been four years since we started dating and I still blush every time we kiss.. I don't think I'll ever grow out of it!
