The fact that my Uncle Zane and I are not a bit worried, that only Blu and Gilbert are both uneasy, as Uncle and Gilbert said their goodbyes this early Saturday morning says a lot about the stubbornness in the Akage family.

We are so stubborn that we refuse to show worry about a worrisome situation.

It's only 5am in the morning yet my Uncle and Gilbert are both ready to leave the penthouse to have their "vacation". I put a quotation mark on that word in my mind because I have a distinct impression that both Uncle and Gilbert don't know what the word vacation means. They are hardworking men.

But the fact still remains. Uncle and Gilbert will leave Blu and I alone to man the penthouse. And as an Akage, I feel confident that I can take good care of everything.

Blu is certainly...not an Akage.

"Will we really be okay, Mr.Gilbert?" Blu asked, a little terrified.

"I hope so," Gilbert winced as he took both of Blu's hands. "You have my numbers. If something untowards happen, call me immediately. Okay?"

And he will what? Fly back here in the penthouse...is he Superman? Gilbert is very efficient at his work like Clark Kent but I don't think he has a spandex costume with a cape under his normal human clothes.

Blu nodded, "We will call at once. Have a safe journey," he gave Uncle Zane a fleeting glance.

"Where do you plan to go again Uncle?" I asked my Uncle just to add something in the conversation.

"Gilbert and I will have breakfast at a country club in Cavite. We will do a bit of a drive and sightseeing in Mt.Taal and then we will have a business meeting in the evening. We will be back Sunday afternoon. You can manage on your own until that time, am I right?"

"I don't know..." said Blu.

"Of course," I replied at the same time. I rolled my eyes at Blu. "Don't pay Blu any mind. He just love to worry. We will be fine."

"Yes you will. Just follow my rules. No sex in this house and you won't serve alcohol to minors." Uncle Zane patted my shoulder and ruffle Blu's hair. "Then see you two tomorrow. Have fun in your party. Gilbert, let's go." Uncle moved first to get to the main door.

"Mr.Gilbert." Blu, still holding on to Gilbert's hands, followed them to the door. I sighed as I brought the rear end of that procession.

"You will be fine. Don't worry," Gilbert nodded at Blu before their hands separated. Uncle Zane already opened the front door and let Gilbert get out first before he followed our butler. Uncle closed the door firmly behind them.

And then...there is just Blu and I...

"Let's call them back," Blu throw a pleading look my way.

"What? No!" Hell, is he insane? Uncle Zane already planned his weekend. If we call them back, that means we will disrupt Uncle's plan and that will annoy my Uncle into no end.

"But..."

"We will be fine," I stared at Blu until the protest and worry in him die down. "Stop being a paranoid that things will go wrong. You should really be positive you know. Positivity has a great impact in a person's way of thinking."

"Are you a positive person?" Blu asked suspiciously.

"Hell no," I chuckled. "I am paranoid. I have the "whatever", remember? That's why I am telling you to stop being paranoid, because I don't think this household can handle two paranoid teenagers. And I have dibs on that role. So..."
