Martlet nervously sighs as she looks at her phone. She was receiving a phone call with the words "MOM" labeled on the screen. She takes a deep breath before answering. "Hey, Mom what's up."

"Oh, I just wanted to check up on my baby girl to see how college is going and why you've been ignoring my texts for the past year."

"I've just been busy with school and work is all."

"Well, I hope you're not sleeping till noon still, what would your job think; Your bad sleeping habits put you on probation in the guard back underground."

Martlet sighs putting her wing to her face. "I'm not sleeping till noon anymore Mom, my Classes are early in the morning; I picked morning classes so it would force me out of bed."

"Well isn't that a good idea; you could also just get a roommate and get them to wake you up too."

"I do have a roommate Mom; I've had one for four years."

"Is it that boyfriend of yours your cousin told me about?"

Martlet lets out a small audible squeak as she processes her mother's question. "Wh-what; he told you?"

"When were you going to tell me you had a boyfriend?"

"I just didn't feel like that was important; what else did Berdly tell you?"

"That's all he told me; so when can I meet the boy; I hope he's taking good care of my little girl."

"He treats me great Mom don't worry."

"Are you sleeping with him?"

"MOM!"

"I mean are you sharing a bed sweetheart?"

Martlet sighs as she answers the question. "Yes, Mom we share a bed."

"How long have you two been together?"

"Mom look I need to go I have homework to do."

"Ok Martlet I just wanted to see how you were doing."

"I'm fine; bye Mom"

"Bye, sweety."

The phone hangs up as Martlet falls back onto the couch groaning. The door to hers and Clover's room opens as Clover makes his way over to the couch. "Hey, you ok babe."

"I don't know; I just got off the phone with my mother," Martlet said with a groan

"Your Mom?" Clover said raising an eyebrow. "I thought you didn't talk to your Mom."

"Yes and no; I talk to her from time to time, but most times she's just..... Invasive."

"What do you mean invasive?"

"She tries to pry into every detail about my life; I don't talk to her a lot because I want her to respect my privacy."

"Oh come on I'm sure she's not that bad; can't be as bad as my old parents."

Martlet groans again before going on a rant. "My mom is just somebody who's always trying to see what going on with me when I moved to the surface I promised I wouldn't let her pry into every detail in my life, so I have been kind of ignoring her."

"Come on Martlet you can't shut out your mom because she likes to poke around in your life and gets on your case about your work ethic."

"Wait I never brought up her complaining about my work ethic how did you know she did that?"
