Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Getting kids settled

On the way home, Zuki said, Girls. When we get home, I have a surprise for you. I just hope its ready by the time we get home. I will probably have you wait a min in the car, just to make sure ok? Sure Zuki. OK good.

Here we are. Said Zuki. Home sweet home. Wait here a second. Zuki ran over to a worker, he had on the girls surprise, and said, How are things? Is it almost ready? Yes. We just need to put one more thing up. Ok done. Now its ready. OK good. He motioned the girls to come over. Bella helped Rain out of the car, and they walked over to Zuki. OK girls. Ready for your surprise? Bella said, Yes of course! In an exciting tone. OK. Come on in the house. I will show you to it. He showed them to a door that said RAIN and BELLA'S ROOM, in their favorite colors. Bella opened the door and said, Wow! This is awesome Zuki! Thank you! She gave him a big hug. Oh sorry. I hope that was ok. Yeah its fine. After all, I am your brother. Right? Yeah you are. Can I ask you a favor? Rain and I would love it, if we can have your last name. Of course you can. I will just have to go to the court and fix that. He went in the room with them, and said, They did a good job. More beautiful than I imagined. Said Zuki. Yeah. Said Bella. It is. Rain tapped on Bella's shoulder and Bella put her ear down for Rain. Rain only whispered to Bella. I know it is. Said Bella It is beautiful. Oh that would be a good idea. She told me she would start talking, when our names are changed. Well that's good. OK. well then. Enjoy your room. I will be in the living room if you need me OK? Thank you Zuki. Yeah sure.

Zen called Zorin and said, Hey. The shield is done. I need you to come over to help me dye it a color. Yeah sure. Be right there. Oh and bring Zuki too. He said he had to talk to me about something. Yeah sure. Zorin called Zuki and said, Hey Zuki, I'm heading over to Zens. Want me to pick you and the girls up? Yeah, sure. We will be ready. OK be right there.

Zorin showed up at Zuki's house, Zuki said, Ok girls. Lets get in the car and head over. Kiara's helping Sapph with the kids. She is a big help. Oh that's good. Said Zuki. OK. let's go.

Hey Zen. I brought Zuki and the kids. Coming. Hey guys. I have a room for you and Rain to go in. Zuki can go in too. After we finish here, we can talk Zuki. Sure. So Zen showed Zuki the room he and the girls went in. Zorin and Zen went to work on the shield.

Ok, but before you said you wanted to see if it worked. Yeah I did. Zorin if you please. Zorin put enough flames in there for 5 hits. Now, I push this button under the handle. It shot pretty fast. Well at least we know it works. Said Zorin. Maybe you should make it slow down a little. Yeah, hang on. He opened a hatch and fixed the gear. Oh here's the problem. He tightened up the gear and tried again. This time it went like it was supposed to. OK cool. Good job Zen. Ok Zorin. Before we dye the shield, we should try the flame throwers now. Good idea. You won't have me all the time. He sat the flame thrower in the holder he had for it, and pushed the button. It worked like a charm. Everything went well. Now for the color. Said Zen. Zorin. You might want to put this on in case you get this stuff on your clothes. He put on a working body suit. OK done. Now, what colors do you have? Zorin also put on some gloves. Well let's see. I have Red ready, A Blue, Green, and a Purple. I personally like the Blue, but if its just for show, it can be any color. Oh. I went ahead and had these metals dyed to show an example of how it looks when they are dyed. Let me think.... All of them look pretty awesome. These colors will eventually be on future ones, so I would go with the Blue. I just thought of this uncle. What if after we dyed the metal, we can paint something on it. Something like a frame to go around the shield. Put either the stores logo, or something they might want on it. Of course that will be a print on it. Yeah. Good Idea. For the example, I will put decals I have for it. He got the decals out to show Zorin. Wow! Cool Zen. They all look good. If we are going to dye it Blue, let's see.... We can go with a white tiger. You should have the logo on the handle behind the shield. Good idea. Said Zen Thanks. Oh and I have a machine that can make this now. So I can make multiples. I will be doing the dying. So if you ever want to come join and help, you can come. Yeah sure. When the kids are in school maybe. Ok good. OK let's go ahead and start dying now.

There was a big bucket of dye for the shield to go in. There was a piece of metal holding the cords in so it wouldn't hurt the wires. Zorin helped Zen put the shield into the bucket. How long do you keep it in Zen? Oh for about 4 min and see how it turns out. 4 mins later, Zorin helped Zen take it out of the bucket of dye. Wow that turned out great. Said Zorin. Yeah. I like it too. The longer you keep it in, the darker it gets. It dries once the air hits it. We can wipe off the water. Now let's dry it off and put the Decal on it. Zorin got the decal and stuck the white tiger in the middle. Underneath in white it said WHITE TIGER. Ok. It's done now. Let's test it one more time uncle. Sure. They put the flame thrower back in, and tested it. It went fine like last time. Ok good. Well then uncle. Thanks. He took his gloves and body suit off. OK well, let's go get Zuki.

Hey Zuki. Said Zen. I am ready. OK girls. Come on. Hey Zen. Thanks. Said Zuki. Ok. Bella wanted to have my last name. How do I go about doing that? Actually. Said Zorin. Hold on a second. Be right back. Zorin ran down the street, and met with a lady. She followed him back. Hey girls. OK Zuki. All you have to do, is sign these papers, and you're done. Thank you. He signed the papers and it was official. OK girls. Before I tell you what your names are going to be, I want to go over to the dojo and tell everyone ok? Bella said, Awesome Idea. Zorin. Thank you so much. Sure. You helped me out a lot. I thought I could do something for you.

OK Zuki. Bella and Rain? Go ahead on in the car. I will be right out ok? Sure. OK Zen. Do you need help putting it out on display in the window? Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to. It was your design. Sure why not. He placed the shield in the window, and Bella saw it. She got out of the car and stood in front of the window. Zorin just came out and said, Oh you see the shield I just made huh? Like the design? Yeah I do. Well maybe when you turn 17 1/2 or 18 you can get one. Yeah. I definitely will. Ok Bella. Let's go. Bella went back in the car. Zuki drove them back to Zorin's house for a min. Zorin drove his own car.

Hey Sapph. You need to come to the dojo. I'm calling James and Jason too. Zen will be there shortly. Ok Zorin. Sapph went in the back with the girls and they drove to the dojo.

Everyone else Zorin called showed up and finally Zen. Ok. Guys and girls. Said Zuki. Can you all hear me? Yes. They all said. Good. I have an announcement. Today, thanks to Zorin Daniels, I have officially adopted 2 girls. Bella Serena Carter my sister, and Rain Zania Carter. Before you applaud, we have one more surprise. Rain? Would you like to say something? Thank you brother. Aww. Rain gave him a big hug. I guess I can start calling you brother now. Zuki. I love you brother. Thanks for everything. What are brothers for. He beckoned Bella over and gave them a group hug. Wait. Did you just say Daniels? Said Bella. Yeah. Why? Oh no reason. I just need to talk to Zorin alone. Sure. Zorin! Come here a min! Coming! Bella here needs to talk to you about something. Sure lets go talk at the River View. Its pretty private there.

They went to the River View, and Bella Said, Are you really Zorin Daniels? Yeah. My brother is Jason Daniels. The only Daniels left are me, my brother, James, and Zen. I'm sorry Zorin. Hey its fine. So what did you need to talk to me about? When I was in the Orphanage, I heard some talk about a Daniels family. I heard something about a John Daniels roaming around somewhere. That was before I ran away from Mrs. Runner. It's been a few years now. I thought maybe John was related to you somehow. It's impossible. He's dead. John Daniels was my father. He died in a fire when me and my brother were 16. Along with my Mother. I'm sorry Zorin. I thought I would just relay the message to you. Thank you for telling me. I'm sure if it was him which I doubt. He would come see us when he was ready. OK we should head back now. Yes let's. So they headed back to join everyone.

Monday came around. It was time for the kids to enroll in school. Everyone was excited for their first day. Daddy?! Said Slade. Is Rain coming to my school? Yes she is son. I want you to look after her OK? Your sister and cousins too. I will Daddy. OK kids. Get in the car. Said Zorin. We are going to drop you guys off first, then head to Kiara's school ok? OK Daddy.

He dropped of the little kids like he said, now they are at Kiara's. Here we are Kiara. Let's go. Wow! Big school. Yeah I know. I thought so too. Said Zorin. OK lets go meet the new principal. Hey Melody. Is Zuki and Zania here yet? Yes. They are in the back. Go on in. Nice to meet you Kiara. Yeah thanks. Nice to meet you too. They went in the back, and joined Zuki, Bella, Rain, Zania, and Zeth. OK. So I have some papers for you to sign as their guardians, and some for the kids as well. After lunch, girls and Zeth, you need to come to the office and get your picture taken for your ID's ok? Yes sir. Said Kiara. OK. So the only rules in this school are to be respectful, wear appropriate clothes, meaning no belly showing, no tank tops, or spaghetti straps. If you wear shorts, they have to be down to your knees, and no sandals. OK got it. Hey sir. Said Zorin. Can I talk to you for a second. Yes just give me a min. Zuki said, I'm leaving now for Rains school. See you in a bit Zorin. Yeah sure.

Melody? Said the principal. Call Mr. J.'s Class. Have someone there escort them please. Yes sir. The kids sat waiting.

OK. Said Mr. J. We are going to have 3 new students come in with us today. I would like Leon and Luna to escort the new students. Yes sir. Said Leon. Ok thank you. Everyone else get back to work.

OK. Said the principal coming back. So what did you need to talk about? Oh. Said the principal. You must be the Zorin kid, that the old man was talking about. Yes sir. I am. Well what do you want to know? I just wanted to know what your relationship was with him, and know your personality a bit. Well I can answer the relationship thing. He was my father. As for the other, if you want to get to know me, it will have to be out of school. Here is my number. Ok Zorin. Tell that wife of yours I say hi. Yeah. I will. Thanks. Zorin left for the car Sapph was waiting in. Let's go home. Actually dear. I wanted to go somewhere that's sells good bedding. I want to surprise Kiara with a room she will like. OK sure. Where to? The one that Olivia owns. OK sure no problem.

On their way over to Oliva's work, Sapph said, Oh Zorin. I have a favor to ask. How are you on your drawing and painting Skills? Are they still good? Yes of course. Why? Well, I was wondering if you can paint Kiara's walls for me. While I did everything else. Sure, of course I will Sapph. I just have to get the paint first. OK thanks honey. Yeah sure. OK here we are at Oliva's work. Oh. Said Zorin. What's her favorite colors? Blue Green Purple and Black. OK cool thanks.

Hey Olivia. Said Sapph. Oh hi Sapph what's up? I'm surprising Kiara with decorating the room she is staying in. It will be hers. She is 16, her favorite colors are Blue Green Purple and pink. I have just the bedding for her then. Follow me. Hey Sapph. I'm going to go look around ok? You two have fun. Yeah we will. Zorin went off to look at other things they sell for rooms.

He saw some paintings he thought she might like, and grabbed them. He put them down for a min, and went to get a basket. He went back over to the place he was, and put the few paintings he liked, and put them in the basket among other things she might like. He went to go look for Sapph, and found her. Hey Sapph. I got a few things Kiara might like. Oh wow! A few huh? Well you know me. Well let's put the bedding in the basket. They paid for the stuff, and Oliva said, Hope she likes it. Let me know ok? Yeah. Thanks Olivia. No problem Sapph.

We have to stop by the art store that sells the paint I will need. Here we are. OK lets see. I will need her favorite colors. Green Blue pink and purple. I need white too. Here are some paint brushes. I will need and a rolling thing for the white paint. OK. Now lets pay and get out of here. Said Zorin. Oh hey Zorin. Said the Cashier. Haven't seen you in awhile. How you been? I have been good. Been working, so haven't had much time to paint until now. Oh. What are you painting? A teenage girls room. Oh well, have fun with that. Thanks.

Ok finally home. Let's get started with the painting first. I like this paint, it dries within minutes. OK well get started. The bed is out here already, I will go ahead and make the bed while you do the wall ok? Yeah sure. So he painted the wall white. After that dried, he started doing his masterpiece. He painted white tigers on the wall, walking in a jungle through some Green grass with monkeys swinging on vines. He drew Kiara in a purple shirt with blue pants and bare feet, walking with the Tigers. He drew a few more tigers on each wall, along the walls it looked like a jungle. OK done. Now let's work on the dresser. Since the dresser was already white, he decided to paint some drawers Purple, Green and pink drawers. The top and sides were dark blue. The handles were white. OK done. I love how it turned out.

Sapph said, OK the bed is done. Are you ready for it now? Yeah. Before you do, come here and tell me what you think? OK coming. Wow! Said Sapph. That looks really cool! I think she will love it. I also put a bookcase here, and painted it green like the jungle. Put some books for teens in here. Zorin. It looks beautiful. OK. Let's get the bed in here. Let me help Sapph. Thanks Zorin. They got the bed in, now they just needed to hang some things, put some rugs down, and decorative pillows. Ok. Now done. Wow! She definitely will like it. Said Sapph. You think so? Yeah. Especially seeing you paint her walking with a tiger. Yeah. I thought that detail would be perfect. OK now. The last touch is to hang the sign I made for her. It said, KIARA'S ROOM in Purple and Green letters. The frame around the sign was pink and Blue. Ok. When its time to get her, we will surprise her. Ok. I'm going to get cleaned up from all this paint. OK dear. Hey honey? What do you want for lunch? Oh just leftovers from last night is fine. OK I will put it in the microwave.

Finally it was time to pick up the kids. They went to Zuri and Slade's first, then to Kiara's. Hey Kiara. How was your first day? It was ok I guess. Two kids, a boy and a girl escorted us to our classes. Their names were Leon and Luna. Oh how nice. Oh Kiara. When you get home, we have a surprise for you. Oh really? Cool! Can't wait. Yay! Let's see the surprise. Said Zuri.

OK here we are. Home sweet home. Said Zorin. Kiara? Do you trust me? Said Zorin. Yes I do. OK. Zorin put his hands over Kiara's eyes, and said, I will guide you to it. OK here we are. Said Zorin. He removed his hands, and she saw a sign, that said, KIARA'S ROOM. Thanks Zorin! The inside is even better. Hope you like it. She opened the door and said, Wow! This is really awesome! Zorin? Do you mind if I give you a hug? No sure. Go ahead. She flung her arms around him, and said, Thank you! Thank you! OH. I painted everything here, except for the paintings I hung. Also I filled a bookcase with teenage books I hope you like. Over here, I have a desk for you to do homework on. Wow! Said Zuri. Pretty. Yeah. Said Slade. It's cool. Thank you too Sapph. She gave her a hug. OK. Now it's official. Said Zorin. Actually Zorin. It's not. Can I have you guys do me a favor? Sure. What is it? Said Sapph. I want my last name to be the same as yours. I still want my old last name, but as my middle. Would that be ok? We are glad you said that. We already did that when we helped Zuki with his girls. Thank you guys so much.
