Open Roads

Blondie

Mia was stood behind the counter of her brother's store doing her homework. She looks up to see for any customers but she looks up and sees the familiar blonde hair of their babysitter Rose who was holding the hand of a small black haired girl...Mia's niece. "Dom your heathen child is here!" Mia says. Mia loves her niece with all of her heart but everyone knew that since she was Dom and Letty's child she would have all of the sass, stubbornness, and no filter as both of them combined. "Tia!" Her niece exclaimed. Her niece was named after Letty's idol Selena, Dom only agreed on the name because when he saw her for the first time, he thought the name was perfect. "There is my little heathen." Mia says picking the petite girl up. Rose soon left and Dom came out from his office. "What are you doing out of school so early?" He asks picking his daughter up. "Well Ms. Anderson let us out early since well..." Selena trailed off and Dom looked at her and she looked up. "Her weave caught on fire." She whispers and he laughs and places her on the counter. "Any homework?" He asks grabbing her blue bag. "History." She says and he smiles. Mia walks over with a rag while wiping her hands. "I can help her with that, you go back to doing...Whatever it is that you are doing." Mia says and Dom chuckles as he walks back into his office.

Selena sits on one of the spinning chairs and starts spinning but stops when she sees a blonde head of hair. "Oh Mia." Selena says in a sing-song voice. Mia turns and sees the blonde guy as he sits one chair skipped over next to Selena as she does her history homework. Selena turns to Brian as she knocks on the table lightly and he looks over to her. "Don't get the tuna, it's harsh." Selena says and she goes back to doing her homework. He chuckles and shakes his head. "Tuna on white, no crust, right?" Mia asks. "I don't know. How is it?" Brian asks and Selena looks up at their conversation. "Every day, for the last three weeks, you've come here, asking how the tuna is. Now, it was crappy yesterday. It was crappy the day before. And guess what? It hasn't changed." Mia says and Selena looks at him. "I'll have the tuna." Brian says. "No crust?" Mia asks. "No crust." Brian says and Mia nods. "Thank you." Brian says and Selena slams her head on the counter, her homework underneath it. "Need help Selenas?" Mia asks and Selena nods. "Thanks Tia." Selena says and Brian raises an eyebrow. 'Mia must be her aunt...The guy in the back is her father...Who is her mother?' Brian questions himself. "Who was the 16th President of the United States?" Mia asks and Selena think for a few seconds. "Abe Lincoln?" She questions and Mia nods and Selena smiles brightly. "Yes." Selena cheers to herself. Mia chuckles to herself and Selena places her paper in her folder that she puts in her bag. Suddenly there are engines being heard and Selena looks up excitedly. 

"Selena." Mia warns and Selena pouts. They watch as the Uncles and mother of the little girl start walking inside the shop. "How you doing, Mia?" Jesse questions. "How you living, girl?" Letty asks. "Hey!" Mia says and Letty picks Selena up and Selena giggles. "How's my little munchkin?" Letty asks and Selena pouts. "I'm not a munchkin I am a hustler, Uncle Vince said so." Selena says and Vince looks over. Letty looks at him with slit eyes. "Why would he call you that?" Letty asks. "I have many many ways." Selena says with a slight smirk. "You are your father's child." Letty says with a chuckle. Letty goes over to Dom's office and Selena goes over to Jesse and Leon. "Hey Uncle Jesse, hey Uncle Leon." Selena says and Leon smiles. "Why does Vince call you Hustler?" Leon asks kneeling down to her level. "Ask Uncle Jesse." She says and Leon looks over to Jesse who simply empties his pockets. Leon chuckles and picks Selena up. "You are Letty and Dom's child." He says which makes her giggle. "I know." Selena says. Selena walks over to the chair and tries climbing it and eventually makes it. She continues doing her work and she notices her Uncle Vince eyeing Blondie. She continues eating her food and doing her homework. "Vince!" Mia shouts suddenly which scares Selena. "Cripes." Selena mutters. "What?" Her Uncle Vince questions. "Can I get you anything?" Mia asks. "You look good." Her Uncle Vince says and Selena sighs.

"Thanks a lot, Mia. See you tomorrow." Blondie says. "Bye Mia's crush! Oh I mean Blondie!" Selena says but changes her words as Mia looks at her. "Sure." Brian says with a laugh. "Tomorrow?" Vince questions. "I love this part." Jesse says. "Try Fatburger from now on. Get a Double cheese with fries for $2.95, faggot." Vince shouts and Selena's eyes widen. "Lalalalalala." Selena says while plugging her ears, Selena then realized she was in the shop alone so she went on top of the counter and sat down waiting for everyone, after a while her Dad stormed into his office, her Aunt went back behind the counter while her mom came and picked her up. "How about we finish our homework before the race huh?" Letty questions and Selena nods. Leon, and Jesse walk back inside but not Vince since he drove away out of anger. Everything went back to normal, or at least they hoped.
