Ep 20, Chapter 4
Margaret woke up at 4:04 pm, tired, sore in pain and hungry.
“Oh gawd I hurt!” she moaned, “Somebody just please kill me now.”
“You don't love me any more?” Jacqueline whimpered.
“Oh no Bunny-Pumpkins, I love you,” she sighed and rolled over to look at the plush buxom girl beside her, “Its just a saying.”
“Anna has some pain medicine and things from the doctor for you,” Jacqueline slipped out of bed in her bunny pajamas and went thumpity thump down the stairs announcing, “Anna-san, she's awaaaaaaaaaayke!”
She exerted what seemed like a monumental effort to push herself into a sitting position, seeing she was in silk pajamas with some kind of Asian symbols printed onto them.
A few seconds later, she dashed back up the stairs, just as noisily and came in the room with a paper bag, a bottle of fruit juice and two glasses.
“Thank you baby,” Marge groaned as she dumped the bag onto the night stand, then picked up each bottle, read it, opened it, pulled out the recommended number of pills, recapped them, and set them upright on the night stand. There she had five pills of various makes resting in a group.
“Here,” Jacqueline handed her some juice in a glass, “Anna said don't drink it too fast or it will hurt more.”
“Okay,” Margaret complied, carefully sipping a little juice while taking one pill at a time, since to take them all at once would surely require a huge gulp of juice, and even then, her stomach felt like it was on fire already.
The juice was no help in this at first, but the rapid dissolving pain medicine soon made all the pain vanish completely.
“Wow.” she marveled, “The pain is completely gone now!”
“Good.” Jacqueline said, “Because you're all mine and I'm gonna eat you up!” and she eagerly climbed up on top of Margaret and easily overpowered the weakened, medicated girl, pinning her with a deep passionate kiss.
Ep 20, Chapter 5
Tuesday, Margaret felt well enough to return to school, but by the time the stomach incident had run its course, she had virtually forgotten everything from just a few days previously.
“So,” Julie asked, “Where were you yesterday?”
“I was sick.” Margaret said, “Notice the teachers are not asking?”
“Rumor around is you got knocked up and moved in with the father.” Julie rolled her eyes.
Margret’s eyes started to bulge for just a second but she maintained a poker face otherwise and asked calmly, “And who exactly did they think this mystery man was?” actually developing a little smirk at the idea of what was really happening, which would have really blown the public away.
“Oh,” Julie said, “It seems the rumor mills haven't gotten that far yet,” she shrugged, “Give them time though,” she said, “You know the imagination of people is limitless.”
Sighing softly, “Don't I know it?”
Ep 20, Chapter 6
At lunch time, as Jacqueline came over, Elaine's undisciplined daughter came running up and threw a hand full of an Asian brand of condoms at her, forcing her to duck and turn away.
Several of the packaged items somehow clung to her skin, clothing and hair.
With clenched fists, she screamed, “Stay away from my mother you worthless FREAK!” and ran off, guards giving chase.
Margaret leapt up and rushed to Jacqueline's side, and began carefully peeling them off, because the condoms had all been affixed with very sticky two sided tape, and they were stuck in the little girl's hair.
“I swear!” Margaret growled, “That little bitch has a major problem and I'm about to get to the bottom of it!”
This was the first time anybody in the school had ever seen Jacqueline cry.
Ep 20, Chapter 7
A report was filed, the girl's mother was called, and she was escorted off school grounds and her enrollment terminated.
The girls went back to the cafeteria and got seconds. The dining hall was mostly empty now, and the janitor was moving chairs to vacuum the carpet.
“I think it was a set up, personally,” Tammy said, “Some kind of publicity stunt.”
“I don't think so,” Margaret sighed, “I had Anna trace it, and I have a strong feeling its trouble all over.”
“You named a woman before.” Rachel commented, “You think this nut job is her daughter?”
“I'm pretty sure of it,” Margaret said, “I'm just hoping Anna can find out who our mystery woman is before something really bad goes down.”
“You about to need body guards any day now,” Lily said, “I know some pretty capable guys.”
“Nah -” Marge began.
“I'll protect ya.” Julie said.
“NO.” Margaret replied flatly.
Jacqueline lay against Margaret and fiddled with her food, now not in the mood to eat, “When we get married,” she said, “I want you all to be my bridesmaids.”
“Hey!” Margaret said, “Then who will be MY bridesmaids?”
“We can share,” Jacqueline said softly.
“Share?” Julie lit up brightly.
“NOT like that.” Marge eyed Julie with a warning glare, “Control your self.”
“Oh poo.” Julie slumped down in her chair even with the table and pouted.
“Well what color you going to wear?” Tammy asked.
Doing a half roll of her eyes at the ceiling in a mocking gesture of deep pondering Margaret finally answered, “White....duh...”
“No way.” Rachel leaned forward, “You trying to tell us that you and J-”
“We never did.” Julie murmured, shoving her tray away from her with one index finger in a sign of disgust, then letting the finger fly up into the air like a bird that had left forever, following it with her sullen eyes.
“You'll live,” Margaret said, “You can always join a new band and -”
“Oh...chhh!” Julie screwed up her face into an angry sneer, “Easy for YOU to say.” then she resumed a more listless look as if she were not present in the conversation.
“Hey...it just didn't work out...got over it.” Marge said, “I found my soul mate, end of story.”
Ep 20, Chapter 8
“The mystery person you seek is one Elaine Richutti, of Santa Rosa, and apparently she has been flopping around the Los Angeles area ever since the mysterious death of her late husband Roberto.” Anna slid a print out across the table to Margaret and returned to chopping cabbage for dinner.
“Looks like she has a rap sheet of petty crimes and has been questioned on the deaths, illnesses and disappearances of eight people over the past ten years.”
“Sounds like a pack of bad news.” Margaret said, looking down at the image, “That's her though, no doubt.”
“Is she coming here Margie?” Jacqueline asked, nervously wrapping her arms around the rocker's waist rubbing her face in Marge's side.
“Not if she wants to live.” Anna replied while pointing at them with her fourteen inch stainless kitchen knife.
Episode 21
“We Are A Family, Born With Spines!”
Graduating at the Mary Lee-Ellingsworth Academy was a quiet affair, and with three of the five band members graduating, school would be miserably lonely again for Jacqueline.
Thankfully, that was still several months away as summer vacation was just around the corner.
“I can't wait for my birthday!” Jacqueline exclaimed, “I'm going to show my bride to O bāchan!”
“So what do you plan to do after you graduate Margaret?” Yui asked.
“Play as many shows as I can I suppose,” she shrugged, “Why?” as she took a bite of sushimi.
“We have an opening for you in the company if you're interested,” Yan answered, “Part time, flexible hours, medical benefits -”
Raising her hands in supplication that he stop, Margaret was chewing and trying to slow the conversation down, finally swallowing, “Please...please...wait a moment here papa,” she petiti
oned him, “I don't know the first thing about any of the things you guys do there,” she swallowed again just to be sure her mouth was empty, “I mean, I know what you are doing, and its only right and honorable and all,” she said, “but I've never been the company girl type.”
“Well,” Yan said, taking a deep breath, “if you would be a little bit more patient,” making a small steeple of his index fingers, “we had a PR job in mind for you actually.”
Margaret was surprised, “Huh? For real?”
“Why not?” Yui asked, “We've seen you on stage, in front of a giant crowd even. You live for it.”
“Buuu...but that's a little different than performing on a stage...” she was caught completely off guard, “Ummm...what would the job entail?”
“Well,” Yan said, “You'd fly around in a private company jet, and on summer vacation Jacqi-chan here could accompany you...wu-once you're married...annnnnnnd,” he raised his feminine eyebrows as he rolled his head almost the way his daughter did, “You'd just go meet people, play music to crowds, pose for photo ops for the company, meet with a few other showy people from other companies, and just generally live the celebrity life in the name of the Shunokoi Aerospace Corporation.”
“I could go with her all summer?” Jacqueline asked, biting on her chopsticks while her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“AFTER....you're married little lady...Don't think I'm going to let you off the leash THAT easily.”
“So when we getting married papa?” Jacqueline asked tilting her head and smiling solicitously.
Both parents chuckled, and Yan replied, “Not for a WHILE young lady,” he then stopped and amended that even before she could wilt in dejection, “Well, let me modify that...it depends on what her tests say.”
Jacqueline suddenly clasped her hands and mumbled while squeezing her eyes shut, “Please let her be pregnant...”
Ep 21, Chapter 2
That night, as they lay in bed, Margaret asked Jacqueline, “Do you REALLY want me to be pregnant?”
“I luuuvvvvvvvvvvvvve yewwwwwwwwww...” Jacqueline said in the softest possible voice, head against Margret’s chest..
“That doesn't answer my question.” Margaret complained.
“Why not?” Jacqueline raised her head to look at Margaret, “What else do you need to know?”
“Just so we can have sex?” she asked.
“Its that bad?” Jacqueline asked back.
“If that's the only reason...” Margret protested.
“Its not.” Jacqueline reproved her, “You know that, now stop being such a baby about it Margie-pargie.” and she dropped her head on Margret's chest unceremoniously.
“Oof! Ow!” Margret complained, “You don't love me, you hurt me!”
“Ohh...you big baby,” Jacqueline cooed, “Here – let me kiss it better -” and she took a deep breath making a raspberry on Margret's sternum.
“St-ah-hah-haap! That tickles!” Marge complained laughing.
“Don't tell me I don't love you then!” Jacqueline raised her head again with this cute but silly looking scowl.
“Hey!” Margret protested, “I never said that! Don't put words in my mouth!”
“You sure just did!” she growled back, “Do you want me to get a replay from Anna?”
“Uh...no.” Marge looked both worried and displeased.
“Good.” the little girl announced authoritatively, “Because I have something BETTER to put in your mouth...” she suddenly said in a very silky seductive voice.
“Huh? Wait! What?” Marge began.
Jacqueline lunged and while wrapping her arms around Margret's neck began to kiss her fiercely, inserting her tongue.
“Mmmff! Mmmh!” as her eyes went wide in surprise, feeling the little tongue wildly licking the back sides of her lips, all Margret could do at this point was surrender, her eyes slowly closed and she unclenched her teeth and returned the affections, “Mmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....” she excitedly breathed as she let herself fall into the ocean of her young body's hormonal desires.
Ep 21, Chapter 3
Graduation ceremonies would commence as soon as finals were completed, so Margret, Rachel and Julie would be taking their grand finals from Tuesday until Thursday of the last week of school.
Even though Margret had a 4.0 GPA she never stopped studying.
“What will you do about that job?” Jacqueline asked, as they studied, reading her books as intently as ever, even though Margret would later read them to her.
“I guess it will be okay,” Margret shrugged, “Sounds like fun.”
“I won't get to see you very much,” Jacqueline said in a sad tone.
“Its only part time baby,” Margret sighed, “The rest of the time I will be home.”
“You still have band practice though.” Jacqueline persisted.
“I've been thinking about that,” Margret said, “Maybe we can get some help with this from mom and pop.”
“Its possible,” Jacqueline shrugged, “It can't hurt to ask.”
“I'm still in awe of it all to be real though.” Margret said in a wistful tone.
“What exactly?” Bunny asked.
“This. You, me, here, the band, life, just....everything.” she breathed a breath of total wonderment.
“I suppose growing up in it it seems like I'm suffocating, so I miss the wonderment of it all.”
“My mother was a trailer house ho.” Margret suddenly declared, “Born from respectable Ohio farm people, but all caught up in the whole music scene, only without any goals or aspirations, got pregnant young by some stranger at a rock show, had no education, no drive, unless you counted sex drive, and no hope for anything but living to the next day.”
“Sounds bad.” Jacqueline replied in a tone that sounded totally apathetic.
“I'm surprised she didn't just abort me really,” Margret sighed, “almost makes it sound like a good idea when you -”
Her words were interrupted by the sharp loud sound of Jacqueline's book being slammed into her kotatsu.
“DON'T YOU SAY THAT!!!” Jacqueline suddenly screamed in rage, “NEVER EVER EVER SAY THAT EVER AGAIN!” her little face was red and livid with indignant fury, “You are beautiful, precious, lovely, intelligent, gifted, and worthy of everything this world has to offer you!
“Look at me!” she shouted, “I'm a 'worthless FREAK' remember?!
“I don't give a gods-be-damned about ANY of that crap!
“You are MINE and I LOVE you and I would DIE if you were not here!”
After the shock of the anger, the depths of Jacqueline's words sank in and Margaret began to cry for the first time in her entire life.
Ep 21, Chapter 4
As testing week came around, so too, did another opportunity to perform.
Margret asked Yan about this, and he finally relented and allowed the band members to come and practice in their garage, but only as long as they kept their volume down.
This also meant Jacqueline could practice with the entire band.
She brought yet a third song this time. She had already used a computer program in the music room at school to process the note placement, and she made copies with each member’s tablature and notation.
“When do you write these anyway?” Julie asked frowning and looking at the sheet curiously.
“At school.” Jacqueline replied simply, “They just come to me while I am walking up and down the halls at school. I have access to every class and my schedule is random, so I just go when I have free time.”
“Okay ladies,” Margaret asked, “Do you think we can incorporate this into our act before the big Tokyo show in a little over a week?”
“Sure.” Rachel said.
“Why not?” Julie chimed.
“Lets just do this already.” Lily said, “We already know the answer or we would have failed as a band years ago.”
“Good point.” Margret said. “Okay Bunny,” she asked, “give us the tune and we will key into it...�
��
Bunny began humming a slow, mournful tune, and as she did, she walked up to the drum set and ran her fingers across the crystals, giving a chill to Margret's spine, and she fell right into the feel with some notes of her guitar, and Julie caught the rhythm from that point, the bass, keyboard and violin followed soon thereafter.
