T.E.L.O.W. - The Elemental Land Of Wonders

Chapter 2 | Explaining the business

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and went down stairs to the kitchen. I quickly grabbed one of the chocolate chip cookies I made in culinary class and then I left the house. My mom was waiting outside in her maroon colored Toyota car.

"So mom what are you in a hurry for?" I asked getting into the car's passenger seat and buckling my seat belt.

"Why ask?" She questioned while starting to drive out of the park way.

"I do not know, it just kind of seems important." I said looking down at my chocolate chip cookie.

"Pfft! Kind of? More like a whole lot more important than anything!" She expressed.

"Anyway, there is a serious meeting with the business. We are going to have a discussion about enlarging the whole area since there was a bankruptcy that took place in order for us to contain the amount of money that we need, but in order for us to amplify the area buildings for the business, we need money, so that is the problem. Yet, we are trying to come up with better plans like reestablishing newspapers, magazines, and books so that they can be sold to people, then we can get money from then on to grow the company and business." She explained a lot as she was focused on driving.

"Wow that is alot to deal with! Also can you reestablish like you said or not, because reestablishing sounds like it could work for the company and the business." I thought about that restarting mabey was a good idea.

"See Madeline, the thing is when you work with a business and company that sells products to people it gets a lot more difficult then you may think because if we were to try to sell our products by reestablishing them, then mabey no one wants to buy them. Therefore, no money and therefore bankruptcy, then finally no company and failure. Also, we have a deadline and once it is up and we do not have the money, they will tear the place apart just to make an amusement park for kids and people will start losing their jobs." She worried with frustration.

"Oh, does that mean you will have to get a new and different job?" I said starting to eat my chocolate chip cookie.

"I am afraid so and you have to start getting a new job rather than me because that vegetable and fruit stand is not really giving out much." She said.

"Well that money is for me remember? To buy what ever I want? Anyway we live far away from anything really." I said looking out the window throughout the forest as the car was moving really fast. Seems as if the forest was calling me.

"Hey at least we live next to the ocean. Oh! I have a great idea! Why don't you and uncle Robert so some fishing that way you can make more money at the stand by adding extra food!" She said in a mom's way of exaggeration.

"Ew no! I am not killing fish for money! Leave the peaceful ocean creatures alone! I already have enough money and I do not need that much more!" I said disgusted.

"Well it was just an idea, you do not have to push it." She said as there was a slight pause.

"What does uncle Robert even do anyway these these days? I am too busy to notice anything that goes on." She questioned.

"He just works with mechanical things, Daniel helps him most of the time, his son, not Dan the twin. They always get mixed up with their names even though they are not identical. Dan and Don are the twins, Daniel is uncle Robert's son." I mentioned.

"I know their names do get a lot confusing, do you help uncle Rob?" She asked.

"Yeah, I clean things up and help him stay fed since he is mad with mechanical scientific things. There was this one time where I was getting him a cup of water and one of his crazy projects exploded before I even opened the door!" I laughed as I remembered those moments.

"That is great! Just tell him to not destroy the garage or even house when you see him again okay?" She said laughing.

"Okay, also how long until we get to my school?" I questioned finishing my chocolate chip cookie.

"One hour and thirty minutes, by the way can we play the silent game until we get there? I am going to get a headache if we keep talking." She said as her tired arms dropped a bit from holding the wheel.

"Sure." I said as we finally stopped our conversations.
