Chapter 7

It was getting late.
"What should I do?" asked Solar to himself. He looked to see if anyone was looking at him. No one was there. He was starting to get cold. He spotted a school.
"One day, one day," thought Solar. He stood up and started walking towards the school. When he was almost there, a teacher came out. She scanned him.
"How may I help you?" asked the teacher in a sweet voice. Solar was speechless. After 15 seconds he opened his mouth.
"I I I was j-just wondering i-if you could tell me about y-your school," said Solar nervously.
"Sure....," said the teacher confused. She opened the door and went inside with him. They went to her office.
"I'll have to squeeze you into my busy schedule," said the teacher. She started taking out papers. She took a pencil and an eraser and started writing furiously. Solar got kinda more nervous. After furious writing and erasing the teacher looked at Solar.
"Done," said the teacher sweetly. The teacher started talking about the school and it's achievements.
"How much money do I need?" asked Solar.
"Oh I dunno, that's the principle's job, but don't worry it's affordable," said the teacher. The teacher stood up and walked outside.
"Coming?" asked the teacher. Solar nodded his head and walked with her. They entered the principle's office.
"Hello, Mrs. Dania, can you spare a minute?" asked the teacher sweetly.
"Hello, Ms. Sparkle, what do you need?" asked Mrs. Dania.
"Well, as you see I have a guest. He wants to know about the money he has to pay for school," said Ms. Sparkle. Mrs. Dania looked at him, she made a sad face.
"I will not accept money, you must enter whoever for free," said Mrs. Dania. Ms. Sparkle gasped. Solar didn't know if it was a gift or an insult. So he went with the gift.
"Thank you very much," said Solar with a smile. "May I go to wash my hands please?"
"Of course," said Mrs. Dania. She gave him directions. Ms. Sparkle looked at Mrs. Dania as if to say "You never gave anyone a place for free, and a man just comes and you accept?" Mrs. Dania nodded. Solar came back.
"So, how many do you have?" asked Mrs. Dania. She took a sip out of her water. Solar gulped.
"S-seven," said Solar. Mrs. Dania started coughing. Ms. Sparkle gave her a pat on the back.
"Seven?????" asked Mrs. Dania with a surprised face.
"Yes, three boys and four girls, two of them are twins," said Solar.
"I'm impressed, you and your wife must have a lot of work. I will give you forms to fill out. Return them as soon as possible, before the school year starts," said Mrs. Dania. She handed him a folder.
"I will, but..... I don't remember the way to my house," said Solar embarrassed.
"It's okay, here is my phone, it has a map of everywhere nearby. If you see your house tell me and I will drive you there," said Ms. Sparkle as she handed him the phone.
"How do you move?" asked Solar.
"Push the arrows, or slide your finger," said Ms. Sparkle. Solar started looking, after 15 minutes he found it!
"Here it is, thank you so much," said Solar exhilarated. He handed the phone to Ms. Sparkle. She looked at it.
"I don't see a house," said Ms. Sparkle.
"It isn't exactly a house," said Solar. Ms. Sparkle shrugged, she and Solar headed to her car. They were on their way.
"You need to make them take a hygiene test before they go to school," said Ms. Sparkle. Solar nodded.


Yay! Solar is going back home. Harry will be able to go home without Mona and Megan. And Solar's kids are going to school, or are they?

Chapter 6

"Who asked you, miss missy face?" said Megan.
"Pfft," said Duane trying to hold a burst of laughter.
"Miss missy face? Really?" said the woman.
"Get away from me," said Megan. Duane and the woman looked at each other.
"I will not take orders from a spoiled child that is yelling at my friend," said Duane. Megan picked up a rock.
"I got a dirty weapon and I am not afraid to use it," said Megan.
"Well now that you put it that way, do you know how many bugs that rocks had touched?" asked the woman. Megan screamed and dropped the rock in disgust. Harry came running.
"What's the matter Meggy?" exclaimed Harry. Megan started crying.
"Daddy, I was sitting here thinking about what I did when, this woman and Duane came and starting teasing me," said Megan while crying. Harry looked at the woman and Duane.
"Is that true?" said Harry in a calm voice. The woman and Duane started shaking their heads.
"No, we just asked her why she was crying and she starting shouting at us," said Duane while making awkward positions. Danny heard Duane's voice and came running.
"Duane!" exclaimed Danny. He came up to him and picked him up. Then he hugged him. (one of those slow motion things)
"Where were you?" said Danny.
"I was in this place full of wonders, and creepy people looking at me," said Duane. Danny's eyes were full of tears, but he wiped them away quickly so nobody could see him cry.
"Don't ever run away again, okay?" said Danny while smiling.
"Okay big D," said Duane. Danny let go of him after a moment of silence and put him down gently. Danny sighed.
"Oh, um hello miss. Can I um help you?" said Danny nervously.
"No, you must be Danny. Duane has told me all about you," said the woman.
"Oh, has he?" said Danny as he messed up Duane's hair, "So little D was with you all along?"
"Yep, and he is the sweetest thing I have ever met," said the woman. Duane blushed.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to put you through all this trouble," said Danny.
"Nope, not at all, in fact Duane reminds me of my little daughter," said the woman.
"Oh really, what's her name?" asked Danny.
"Her name is Light," said the woman.
"She must be sweet," said Danny.
"Megan and her could be friends," added Harry. The woman smiled awkwardly which was enough to send the message to Harry.
"I wouldn't want to be friends with her anyway," said Megan in her attitude. The woman gave her a nasty look.
"So...," said Harry. He smacked his lips.
"So..," replied Danny.
"I think me and Megan should get going now," said Harry.
"Where's dad?" asked Duane looking around.
"He ran to look for you," said Danny almost angry. Duane felt bad, but didn't want to cause anymore trouble.
"I want to go home now!" shouted Megan.
"Are you staying?" asked Harry looking at the woman.
"I dunno, I think I will go and come back another day. My daughter is home alone," said the woman.
"Can you tell us your name?" asked Danny shyly.
"My name is um uh gotta go peace," said the woman as she rushed to the street.
"That was weird," said Megan.
"So I guess we are staying here until your dad comes back," said Harry. After a while a limo parked in front of Solar's house.
"Uh-oh," said Harry.
"Mommy!" shouted Megan.
"Meggy bear," said Mona as she evacuated the limo.
"Go inside the car," said Mona. Harry gulped.
"Why weren't you home sweety?" said Mona in a sweet voice.
"I was babysitting these children until their dad was back," said Harry nervously.
"Babysitting, now isn't that sweet of you. Now let's go home to eat dinner," said Mona.
"But their dad isn't home," said Harry.
"Aw, you poor things," said Mona.
"Hey, don't play nice on us Mona, you kidnapped Star and I," said Miral coming out to see what's up.
"What are you talking about honey-bunch? I love children," said Mona.
"Quit your acting Mona," said Harry.
"Huh," said Mona confused.
"I know you kidnapped Star and her sister, how do you think they got away?" said Harry.
"You'd believe nasty children you met today, over me. Your wife that has been with you for all these years," said Mona losing her sweet tone.
"Yes, yes I would. They are more genuine to me than you in a thousand years!" claimed Harry.
"I am going home with Meggy and you are not welcome back there ever again," said Mona
"But you are forgetting one detail," said Harry.
"What's that? Is it that you want me back?" said Mona.
"No, it's that it's my house with my money so YOU are prohibited from entering it ever again," said Harry.
"Fine, I don't need your money or your house Harry Mach from this day forward I am not your wife!" shouted Mona as she took of her wedding ring. She was about to throw it, but she realized that she would be dumb to throw away a diamond ring.
Solar was coming back home, when he forgot the way since he was in a rush.
"I have natural instincts, they will tell me where to go," thought Solar. He gulped as he walked through people. Two strong men stood in front of him.
"Will ya look at that, Benjy?" said one of them.
"Uh-huh an old man walking on our street," said Benjy.
"What should we do with him?" said one of them. While they were talking they looked at each other, Solar took the chance to run away.
"Where'd he go?" asked Benjy.
"Oh well, he missed his chance to get this extra money," said the other while bouncing a bag full of money. Solar was panting, he sat against the corner of a garbage can where no one would see him.
"I guess, I'm staying here for a while," said Solar.

Stuck to a garbage can alone, while his children are playing. Harry getting an awkward feeling about staying longer in Solar's house?

Chapter 5

Harry came back with Megan. When they saw her they groaned loudly. Megan looked at them sarcastically.
"Why am I here?" asked Megan.
"Because I want to do something nice for a friend," said Harry. He sat down and looked at Danny.
"Can you tell me what you do all day?" asked Harry.
"Well, we go to work....." said Danny. Harry interrupted him.
"What do you mean 'go to work'," asked Harry.
"Um, yes because we don't have enough money to go to school," said Danny.
"Ah I see," said Harry while rubbing his chin.
"Then we come back and talk or play something," said Danny.
"Not that busy of a day, is it?" said Harry.
"Dad, why do you care about their dumb lives?" asked Megan while tugging his shirt.
"Megan, that is very rude. Apologize immediately!" shouted Harry.
"I'm sorry, happy?" said Megan angrily.
"No, now go and think about what you did before you come back," said Harry.
"But, daddy. At least can you give me money to buy something?" said Megan.
"Megan," said Harry.
"Fine! I don't need someone to tell me what to do," said Megan. Behind them the kids were bursting in laughter but very subtle. Megan went to the corner of a house and started dialing numbers in her phone.
"Give me your phone Megan," said Harry. Megan groaned and gave it to him. Then she took out her laptop and opened it.
"Give me your laptop too," said Harry. Megan gave him her laptop.
"Now what am I supposed to do," said Megan faintly.
"Go think about what you did," said Harry. This time Megan when to a place where her dad can't see her. She took out her iPhone and sent a text to her friend Emma. After a while Emma send a text back. Megan chuckled.
"Megan, what are you doing?" asked Danny sarcastically. Megan thought it was her dad.
"Thinking about what I did daddy," said Megan in a sweet voice. Everyone giggled.
"Ahh, Megan," sighed Harry.
"It's okay, all girls with money are like that," said Samantha.
"Huh?" asked Harry.
"I mean that all girls like Megan think they are above people because they're rich," said Samantha. Danny nudged her.
"Oh, I understand," said Harry, "My Megan has bad behavior because of the money she wastes." Megan was listening to them and came in barging.
"Daddy please don't take away my money please, I'll do anything!" said Megan.
Meanwhile Solar was out searching for Duane.
"Duane," cried Solar, "Duane!" he said awaiting for a response. People coming and going would look at him and toss him some pennies. He was both mad and happy. He struggled as he walked through all the people staring at him.
Duane was in the car with the woman searching for his house.
"Miss, you still haven't told me your name," said Duane.
"Oh, I haven't. Well my name isn't important, but you can call me Space-lover," said the woman.
"Is that a code name?" asked Duane. The woman giggled.
"No, it's because I love space, the stars, the moon, everything about space pleases me," said Space-lover.
"My family does too," muttered Duane.
"Oh, keep looking Duane," said the woman.
"Okay," said Duane. Duane saw the place he was before the woman took him.
"That's where you met me!" shouted Duane. She pulled her car over.
"Do you remember your house from here?" asked the woman.
"Sorta," said Duane.
"I can't drive through there, and I can't leave my car here,"  said the woman
"I can go home from here by myself," said Duane. Just before the woman wanted to reply she heard a voice.
"Space-lover can you lend me a ride," said the voice from far away. A woman came running.
"Oh, hi Peach, you can use my car but I'll call you when I need it," said the woman
"Okay, thanks," said Peach. She drove away.
"That takes care of my car," said the woman.
"Let's go," said Duane. They walked and got lost. Then they found the way back to Duane's house.
"Here's my house!" shouted Duane. He saw Megan crying in the corner. He went up to her.
"What's the matter?" said Duane in a sweet voice. Megan looked up and saw Duane. She looked down again.
"Why should I tell you?" asked Megan.
"He was trying to make you feel better," said the woman.


Hooray! Duane found his house, but what about Solar?
