Akito and Estelle's Summer Wars

chapter 9

"Welcome back!" Naomi greeted until she saw who it was. "Wait a minute! What are you doing back here?"

"Traffic." Akito smiled sheepishly.

"Uh, yeah, what he said." Kenji added just as sheepish.

"Did you forget something?" Noriko asked.

"No, traffic was terrible." Akito said.

"Listen! Unplug the boat's GPS system and tell the other fishers." Mansuke said on the phone.

"The GPS system is acting up too?" Atticus asked.

"What about the ladder performance Yorihiko was going to do?" Mariko frowned.

"I think you'll have to take a rain check." Mansuke replied after hanging up.

'I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that.' A phone operator said while on the phone with Vincent.

"CALL! JENNY! FOXWORTH!" Vincent yelled into his phone.

'I'm sorry, but all services are down at this hour, please hang up and try again.' An operator told him.

"JUST CALL JENNY FOXWORTH, YOU STUPID OPERATOR!" Vincent yelled.

'Sir, that is no way to talk.' The operator replied.

"CALL JENNY FOXWORTH OR I'LL RIP OUT YOUR ELECTRONIC BRAIN!" Vincent threatened as he soon matched his mother's wrath.

'This is a recorded message.' The operator told him.

Vincent soon began to look like he was going to lose it. Snow White walked by and mewed loudly as Vincent soon threw down his cell phone in rage.

"Uh-oh, I think we should run." Tony said.

Vincent growled and punched the wall before shaking his sore hand. "Oww, ow, owww..."

"Oh, my... You've worked yourself into a tizzy." Mo came to her oldest child.

"Yeah." Vincent nodded.

"What's wrong, honey?" Mo soothed.

"I can't call Jenny..." Vincent pouted. "What if she's hurt over there or worse?"

"Don't worry, honey, I'm sure she's fine." Mo said.

"I can't seem to be able to call my friends." Alexandrite frowned.

Bunny came up beside her trainer and nuzzled with her.

"This is so stressful." Alexandrite sighed as she hugged her Buneary.

Mo soon saw Akito and Estelle and where she ran to them. "Kids!" she called out.

Akito and Estelle soon came to a screeching halt, and where they soon got smothered by love from Mo.

"MAAAAWWWMM!" Akito and Estelle cried out.

"Oh, I was so worried about you guys..." Mo told her twins.

"Estelle, your father broke me, so he knows you were gone, I'm sorry." Cherry told the brown-haired girl.

"Where were you, young lady?" Mo asked Estelle.

"I was trying to help 'Kito." Estelle bit her lip.

"I was worried about you." Mo said.

"Are you mad?" Akito asked.

"Not mad, just exhausted..." Mo replied.

"Sorry, Mom, I wanted to make it a surprise," Estelle put her hands behind her back. "That and Dad wouldn't let me go if he knew what I was doing, so I asked Aunt Cherry to lie for me."
