At the end of school they finally went out of the prison they call classroom and breath fresh air.
Gav skipped to Cai's class.
"Babyyy"Cai said crushing him with his arms immediately he saw him.
Cai's sniffed his neck which tickled Gav and made him giggle.
"Guys you are Infront of a class room"Joy reminded them but they ignored
"What? I'm just recharging"Cai said not let go of Gav.
"Baby come with me to the mall"Gav said as he ran through Cai's hair with his hand.
"Why?"Cai asked curiously purring like a cat.
"This is so embarrassing "B said as she brushed past them.
"Today is Jennifer's birthday and I do have a gift yet"Gav said with a pout.
B who brushed past them hurriedly ran back to there side.
"I totally forgot"B said grabbing a fist full of her hair
"Fuck fuck"Treasure panicked.
"Let's go and get her something"Joy said grabbing B and Treasure hand as they ran to wherever they were going.
"Let's go get her something too"Jade told Almond and Josh who nodded.
They all headed to the mall but went to different sections.
Cai and Gav couldn't decide.
Cause everything they took was either overboard or not enough.
"What about this?"The staff showing them around asked as he showed them a gold necklace with a white gem imbedded in the pendant
"How many carats"Gav asked as he stared at the necklace.
"23 carats?"The staff asked like a question.
"Nah not enough"Gav and Cai replied with a sigh.
The staff sighed too.
They been at this for 3 hours.
The manager noticed there delimma
And walked up to them.
"What's wrong?"The manager asked the staff as Gav and Cai still looked around.
"They wanted to buy a necklace for someone but everything I showed them was either too expensive for the 13 year old girl they wanted it for or not expensive enough"The staff explained with a sigh.
"Let me talk to them"The manager said as he walked up to Cai and Gav.
"Excuse me"The manager said politely as he tapped Gav gently.
Immediately he saw Gav and Cai he immediately bowed down.
The staff at the store noticed this and immediately bowed down too.
Gav and Cai were caught by surprise.
"What's happening?"Cai whispered in Cai's ear.
"I don't know"Gav replied.
"Can you please stand up? This is super uncomfortable"Gav requested politely.
The manager stood up slowly and so did the staff.
"May I ask why you a re bowing down?"Gav asked.
"Well,the building itself is owned by William corporation,This store is owned by the Hudson's and you are Mr Gavreel Willam Hudson right?The president of Williams corporations and the son of Jennifer and Jessica Hudson"He explained and for some reason Gav was still confused.
"My boyfriend is rich,Yayyy"Cai said in a childish voice.
"Well you aren't wrong but that doesn't mean anything,I'm just a customer who can't decide on what to buy"Gav said humbly.
"Awwwwn,My boyfriend is so thoughtful"Cai said still maintaining his childish voice.
Gav glared at Cai which meant he should behave.
Cai chuckled as he pouted.
"Thank you Boss"The manager said with a smile.
"Don't call me boss I have a name,I would prefer that thank you"Gav said politely with a smile.
"Awwwn my baby is ...."Cai was about to talk but Gav immediately shut him up.
"If you don't stop talking I'm gonna shut you up my way"Gav threatened pointing a finger at him.
"Ohhhh,Your way ,You mean with a kiss."Cai replied which made the staff laugh.
"CAI THERE PEOPLE LOOKING BEHAVE"Gav warned while trying not to blush.
Cai pouted as he clung to Gav's arm.
Gav sighed clearly tired of Cai's childishness.
"Ignore him"Gav said with a nervous laugh.
"Anyway what's your name?"Gav asked.
"Emerald but you can call me Em"The manager said still maintaining his polite smile.
"What a shining name"Cai said clearly showing how much he loves the name.
"Nice name"Gav said giving Em a thumbs up.
Which made Em smile more.
"Gav let's name our first child Ruby"Cai suggested clapping his hand happily.
"Cai we started dating 3 days ago and we are already thinking of children name and we are in high school"Gav said trying to stifled a laugh which he failed terribly.
Cai took out his phone.
"Siri set a timer for 5 years"Cai said with a smug smile.
"5 years?"Gav asked confused.
"Yes in five years we would have finish college so we can have Ruby then"Cai explained in an excited voice.
"You are hopeless"Gav said shaking his head.
"Anyway we are here cause today is Jennifer birthday and we don't have a gift yet"Cai explained.
"Miss Jennifer?"Em asked to be sure.
"Yes"Gav replied.
"What if a necklace isn't a best gift?"Em said as a knowing smirk appeared on his face.
"Let me show you something"Em said as he led the to the lift.
Em clucked on the button for Basement 10.
When they got there.
It was like a different world entirely.
Basement was filled with weapons and people who helped customize them.
"This was Mrs Lee Matter's idea"Em explained as the walked further into the room.
"Of course it was"Cai said with a face palm.
Em was confused.
"Mrs Lee Matter is his mother"Gav explained.
"What?"Em screamed which made all the staff to stop working.
"Did I say something wrong?"Cai asked Gav.
"No baby he was just shocked that you are a Lee Matter."Gav explained.
"Ohhh,Am I too handsome to be a Lee Matter or not handsome enough to be a Lee Matter?"Cai asked curiously
"Gav Cai"Someone called out snapping Cai out of his thoughts.
It was Josh,Jas, Almond,B,Joy and Treasure.
"Wow you are all here"Gav said with a smile as they approached them.
"Let me guess you couldn't find anything"Almond asked.
"Yes"The all replied.
"Wait Jas if you are here where is Jennie?"Gav asked.
"With Dustin and his crew probably, or baby sitting peace"Has explained as she chuckled.
Gav turned over to a Em who was still shocked.
"This is Em"Gav introduced.
"Hi"Em said with a shy smile.
"Wait you two are identical"Em said pointing to Almond and Cai.
"Yes,We are triplets and that's our third B"Almond explained and B waved.
"Oh my freaking God"Em screamed staggering to the back.
"Wow he's so dramatic has he never seen triplets before"Treasure asked crossing her arms.
"I don't think that's the case, Remember the last we went to LMGE we made the secretary faint by looking at us"Josh reminded.
"Till now I still think that was weird"Joy said with a shrug.
"It already hard to keep my heart from pumping outta my chest from see just Cau and Gav not you all,Were you guys made in a lab or something"Em screamed as he grabbed a fist full of his hair.
"We aren't that good looking everyone looks like this right?"Almond asked the staff who were to dumbfounded to speak.
"I think we should wear a mask next time we are going out"Joy suggested.
"Agreed"They all replied with a nod.
They all got different kinda weapons for Jennie.
Almond and Jade got her a katana with her name engraved on it.
It was made out of diamond and was sharpened enough to slice paper
Treasure,Joy and B got her a pocket knife, Imbedded so much energy Jennifer could control it with her mind.
Well according to the sales person Jennifer had to gain the pocket knife and treat it like an entity not an object whatever that meant.
Jas and Josh got her twin daggers that was equally as sharo as the katana and had her name engraved on the blade.
While Cai and Gav got her pen that doubled as a recorder and a knife and it also did it's job well as a pen.
They all headed home immediately they entered the main living room..
They met Jennifer with Peace who was running as fast she she could so she could tire Jennifer out.
"PEACE,Can you stop running?"Jennifer pleaded panting.
"No"Peace replied as she ran again Jennifer could catch her.
"We are back"Jas screamed.
Jennifer eyes were livid.
"Where did you all go leaving me with this devil"She asked pointing to peace who chuckled mischievously
"We went to get your birthday gift"They answered as the all showed her the gifts
"I thought you guys forgot"She said sniffing.
"No we didn't,How could we you have been talking about it for almost a week now"Joy replied as she pushed the katana to her chest.
"Awwwn a Katana"She jumped happily.
"And a pocket knife,Twin daggers and a pen"She said as they all handed her there gift.
"A pen"Jennie said as she looked at the own intensely.
"Ohh it doubles as a dagger and a recorder"She said with a wide smile.
"I got something too"Peace said as she ran up to Jennifer.
"What?"Jennifer asked as she crouched to her position.
"This"Peace replied handing her an egg that was to colorful to be a normal egg.
"Where did you find this?"B asked.
"Not telling"She replied with a shrug."It's not to be eaten though it's a pet"
"Where is Dustin and the rest?"Treasure asked.
"Here"Dustin answered as the all walked up to Jennifer and handed her an ipad.
"It's an ipad but we kinda modified it ourselves"Austin explained.
"Well we went to angel and got it from her and modified it to your standards its spouting gem proof and since you are clusmy it's water proof and as strong as Nokia and the only way it can be destroyed is if it falls into lava or gets melted by one of the Wonder's"Crustin explained as Jennifer stared at the ipad doubting if it could do all those things Crustin said.
"Don't worry we tested it"Dustin said trying to ease Jennifer worries.
"Yes made it gall from the third storey 15 times"Justin added with a shrug.
"They are tech wizards"Jade whispered in Almonds ear.
Crimson and Chris came in shortly after.
They came in with a big box.
As talk as a fridge carton.
"This is our gift it's a punching bag,Well punching bags with everyone's faces on it"Chris explained.
"What?"They all asked.
"It ease stress if one of us annoys you you could just punch the bag to death instead of us"Crimson explained.
Jennifer laughed nervously.
Before Jennifer could comment she received a call from Kate.
Kate:Come outside.
And with that she hung up.
"RUDE"Jennifer screamed.
"Our punching bag wasn't a bad idea"Chris said giving Crimson a fist bump.
"Let's go see what that big head has for me"Jennifer said as she walked outside.
When Jennifer got outside there were many vans outside.
"Well,,Since the only thing I can do is sow clothes....."Kate started to talk but Jennifer cut her off.
"Wait don't tell me all this vans contain clothes"Jennifer asked in horror.
"No only a crazy person would do that, And moreover you have enough clothes to open a boutique" Kate said as she chuckled
"A fashion brand was about to crash so I bought it in your name and this is all there clothes,So I don't know what you wanted to do with it so I just asked them to bring it here"Kate explained excitedly.
"Wait,I don't understand you bought a fashion brand under my name,A fashion brand that is about to crash if I heard correctly and brought all the clothes here"Jennifer asked bewildered.
"Yes"Kate answered with a pout.
"I already have a lot of school work now you made me a CEO without my consent"Jennifer asked in a loud voice.
.
"Well I couldn't think of better gift and you could just sell all the clothes to thrift"Kate answered with a shrug which annoyed Jennifer as fuck.
Jennifer sighed
"I can't just do that"Jennifer answered as she crouched down pulling her hair.
"Why?"Kate asked.
"WELL HAVE YOU HEARD OF SOMETHING CALLED A CONSCIENCE,WELL GUESS WHAT I HAVE THAT AND MOREOVER ITS A GIFT I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND I CAN'T LET A BUSINESS UNDER MY NAME CRASH DON'T YOU GET IT"Jennifer screamed so loud her eyes turned magenta.
Kate was so taken aback she reflexively shifted back.
Beverly who was just coming back from wherever she went hurriedly ran to her hugging her.
"Breathe in breathe out"Beverly told her as she patted her.
Since Beverly was shorter than Jennifer.
It was like she was hugging her legs
Slowly Jennifer eyes started to change back.
But this time it was green.
Grass green.
Jennifer crouched down and hugged her tightly.
"You.... Are..... Choking...me"Beverly said struggling to talk at how strong Jennifer hug was.
"Sorry"Jennifer said as she released her.
"YOU SHOULD FREAKING LEARN HOW TO CALM DOWN?"Beverly screamed at Jennifer.
Jennifer was so scared she instinctively step back.
"NOW SAY SORRY TO KATE FOR SCREAMING AT HER AND SAY THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT"Beverly screamed in an authorative tone.
"But..."Jennifer tried to explained but Beverly glared at her.
Jennifer looked down at her shoes and faced Kate who was rather shocked at how Beverly could control Jennifer.
Saying Kate was Gobsmacked would be an understatement.
"I'm sorry for screaming at you and I'll sure to take care of the brand, Please forgive me"Jennifer said genuinely sorry for her mistake.
"It's okay,I should have thought it through and asked if you wanted a company before putting more load on your shoulders"Kate said still shocked.
Jennifer was about to leave when she met Beverly glare again.
Which made her shook.
"Thank you for accepting my apology"Jennifer finally said with a big gulp.
"Good girl"Beverly said with a smile.
The rest of the crew that has been watching was the entrance were equally shocked.
"I would pay millions to see that again"Crustin said bewildered.
"That was so hot"Joy said in her fan girl tone
"This is so weird considering the fact tag Beverly is 7 and Jennifer is 13"Treasure said.
"I see future fights and bi awakening or less awakening"Gav whispered in Cai's ear.
"Ohhh,I totally forgot about my gift for you"Beverly said excitedly as she reached into her pocket to take something.
It was an handmade bracelet.
"I made it myself"Beverly said excitedly.
"Really"Jennifer asked and Beverly nodded.
The bracelet was beautiful.
It was like each bead on the bracelet was individually.
"Each bead was made from melting different minerals,I carved it myself and it like an alarm when your emotions are about to flare up it glows according to the colour of your gems according to each emotions,So we know when to calm down"Beverly explained..
"Wow she's so thoughtful why didn't I think of that"Kate said which made everyone laugh.
"Wait, Everyone is here but where is Pearl?"Peace asked as the all went to the sitting room.
"Well, Apparently the present she has for you is gonna take a lot of time to finish"Kate explained as they all say in the living room.
"What about Dustin, Crustin and Justin"B asked.
"They went to do that thing you asked them to do"Austin explained.
"And if they are why are you here"Treasure asked.
Austin gave no reply.
The all stayed in the sitting room doing different things.
Cai and Gav were doing too much PDA.
B almost puked from how clingy they were.
Kate wasn't shocked at all
Like she expected it.
Austin later went to help Dustin, Justin and Crustin.
They spent about 2 hours in the living room and there was no sight of Pearl nor there parents.
After 30 more minutes Pearl appeared literally dragging herself as she slumped on the couch.
"Why do you look like an office worker ,who works 9 to 5 and still got screamed at by her boss"Kate asked as she wiped the sweat off her face.
"I'm finally done"She said with a triumphant smile.
"With what?"B asked as she handed her some water.
Which she gulped down quickly.
"Well I may or may have not been designing house for Jennifer"Pearl said with a shrug.
"You what?"They all screamed at her.
"Well I study architecture what do expect me to give you"Pearl replied slightly screaming as she took a blueprint from her bag.
She gently spread so everyone could see.
"I don't understand this but it must be good"Almond replied after staring for a long Time.
"And I'm late cause I do The cost of the materials that would be used for the house,The I had to go to CHLMW HQ to show the budget to Shane,Then I some stuff you wouldn't understand"Pearl explained.
"Ohhhh, Thank you"Jennifer replied with a smile.
"You didn't have to go through all that trouble just for me"Jennifer said feeling guilty.
"It's okay I'm fine"Pearl brushed off.
"GUYS"Dustin screamed running downstairs with full throttle.
Everyone was taken aback.
Cause Dustin is an introvert and doesn't screamed.
And apart from being an introvert he hardly talks.
"We have big tea"Justin said as he rushed down the stairs.
"We found tea about our parents"Austin said as he skipped down the stairs too.
"TEA?"Kate and Pearl asked confused.
"They mean they had found something, Gen Z slangs are beyond me"Jade said as he shaked his head.
"And while we were snooping around we found stuff about Pearl too"Justin said in a sad tone which immediately changed Dustin, Austin and Crustin happy mood.
Pearl who was tired.
Suddenly started coughing violently.
And started heavily breathing.
"No,No,No"She said as she ran out the door.
"I'll follow her"B said as she followed her.
"What did you find?"Joy asked curiously.
