He was coming home

20

"I only left because you didn't know how to look after kids and I was sick of it!" She yells back

"I've been a better parent then you will ever be!" Dad yells

"Oh sure, I bet they are both doubt drugs and have been arrested at least twice!" She screams

"As if, and stop pretending that you actually care!" Dad yells back

"I do care!" She shouts

"Then where have you been the past fifteen years? You weren't there for your sons wedding or anything! Dad shouts getting louder

I'm surprised no one has called the police

"Maybe I didn't want to see how bad you have messed up!" She shouts

"I messed up? Cora is the one that's dead!" Dad all but screams

Cora's dead?

"How do you know that?" She asks a bit more quietly

"I worked it out! And she wasn't even your child!" He yells

"You don't know anything! I'm am taking my daughter and we are going to Brazil, which she would be very happy about, and she won't even want to come back!" She yells

"How would you know what she wants?!" Dad yells back

This is when I quietly open the door and sneak in

"Because I know her!" She screams

Dads about to argue when I cut him off

"No you don't, you don't know anything about me and what you think you know is completely wrong" I snap coldly

"Who are you? Actually it doesn't matter, since this does not concern you" she says turning back to dad

"Nice maid you've got there" she tells him

"Maria, this Mira, your daughter" dad says to her

"Hi mother dearest, now get out" I hiss

"Well I'll have to wait for you to get packed and everything" she says calmly, how thick is this woman?

"Why would I need to pack?" I ask playing along

"Because we are going to Brazil! Isn't that exciting, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Come on we don't have all day" she says happily

"Well bye then, have fun in Brazil" I tell her and she looks confused

"What? Why aren't you getting ready?" She asks

"Because I ain't coming with you, since you're a stranger and I don't like you and I actually value my family" I reply

"I cannot believe this! Stop being difficult and behave! Stop acting out! You are coming to Brazil!" She screams at me

"No I am not! Now get lost!" I scream back and she runs out dabbing at her eyes, for attention of course

And then she starts fake crying loudly

"Get lost!" Me and dad shout at her at the same time
As she disappears down the long road I give dad a hive five

And then Seth runs in looking absolutely out of his mind

"Cookies!!!" He screams running around the house like a maniac and laughing evilly

"Who have him sugar?" I ask grumpily catching him as he runs past me

"I'll deal with him you start your homework" dad says taking him from me and I nod heading upstairs

"By the way, Aunt Edwina is coming over for dinner" I call over my shoulder

"Okay" dad replies

I feel something sticky and icky and gross and slimy pour on me I wipe it from my eyes and I go into my room to discover that it has been slime bombed everywhere

"I'm going to kill them" I bow before taking a shower

We really need a maid

They ruined all my clothes too, now I don't have anything to wear, I decide to go and find some of Charlie's old clothes for the moment

"What are you doing?" Seth asks me as I walk into the kitchen, blind to the fact that I'm wearing Charlie's clothes from a couple of years ago, which stink and are ripped in various places

"Revenge" I say simply

"Can I help?" He asks

"Sure" I tell him and I tell him my plan

"Okay, have you got it?" I ask him and he nods

"When do we do it?" He asks

"Tonight when everyone's sleeping but we can start gathering the stuff we need" I reply and we scatter

I grab bugs, worms, ants, spiders and beetles from the garden when I have them tightly secured, I adventure down in the sewers and catch about twenty rats

Now for the spray paint and the dye and the dummy

This is going to be so much fun

"Did you get everything you need?" I ask Seth as we meet up again in the kitchen

"Yes, did you?" He replies, I nod in response

We are professionals at this 

"Everyone get ready! Edwina will be here in half an hour!" Dad yells from his room

We look at each other and hurriedly hide all the prank stuff in Seth's overly large closet before I quickly run to Gem's house and get a dress and a pair of shoes to go with it

I make it back with five minutes to spare

I'm just pulling my shoes on when the doorbell rings

I go downstairs to see Edwina talking about the Roman Empire with Seth

"Hey Mira" Edwina says noticing me

"Hey" I say back

"Well dinner is ready" dad says putting the pork in the middle of table

And we all sit down

There's idle chatter while we eat, I don't really pay attention

"So, what's the news?" I ask Edwina

"Well you know how the school needs a new principal?" she says and pauses for dramatic effect

"Well, I've been selected the new principal" she announces and everyone congratulates her

The rest of dinner passes by without any excitement or mishaps and soon it's time for her too leave

"Bye" I say as the door closes

"Alright, bedtime" dad tells us, and I smile at Seth when he isn't looking

In a few hours when everyone's asleep we will strike

By the way the Websters totally started the war, it's been going on since before I was born
