Ethan walked into his room as he slammed the door.
"Ethan don't slam the door, you know the rules" said Neil as Ethan scoffed and he dropped on his bed, he didn't want his mother to go anywhere, and yet she did.
Ethan was angry, he didn't want to talk to his father who had let his mother go on a business trip when she was supposed to stay here with them and not go anywhere.
Ethan scoffed as he got up from his bed and he walked to his desk and he picked up the landline as he dialed a number.
…
"Hello" said Amalia as she picked up the phone that was ringing in the kitchen.
"Yes, this is the White residence" she replied.
"You want to speak to Joy?" asked Amalia in surprise as she brought out a plate of cookies and handed them to Joy who was jumping around in excitement.
"Joy someone is on the phone for you, he says his name is Ethan" said Amalia as she looked at Joy.
"Oh okay thank you" said Joy with a smile as Amalia handed her the phone and she smiled as Joy walked out of the kitchen into the dining room.
"Hello Ethan, how are you?" asked Joy with a smile as she put the phone to her ear and she placed her plate of cookies on the dining table.
"I am bad and upset and angry" replied Ethan.
"Oh but why?" asked Joy in surprise as she pushed out the dining chair and she sat on it.
"I am angry because your mother is the reason why my mom has to go on a business trip" replied Ethan.
"Why?" asked Joy as Ethan scoffed.
"Because dummy, my mom works for your mom, and she went on a business trip" said Ethan.
"Ahhh I see, so you miss your mommy" said Joy as she ate a cookie.
"No I don't miss her, she was not supposed to go anywhere in the first place" said Ethan.
"Well you should be upset or sad, I am sure your mommy will come back soon" said Joy as Ethan scoffed.
"Being angry is never good, my mommy always says that, if you miss your mommy, why don't you call her? That's what I always do when I miss my mommy" said Joy as she was chewing.
"What are you eating?" asked Ethan as the sounds of chewing were irritating me.
"Cookies, I can send you some to make you feel better" said Joy with a smile.
"No, I don't need your cookies" said Ethan.
"Oh well, okay then, don't be angry Ethan, your mommy will be back soon, why don't you come over to my house so we can play together?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Not a chance, by play you mean I have to babysit you, no way" said Ethan.
"Well okay, Ethan what Is your favourite colour?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Black, why do you ask?" asked Ethan.
"I have homework, I have to ask everyone their favourite colour" said Joy with a smile.
"Weird, anyway, I am done, see you" said Ethan.
"Bye Ethan" said Joy with a smile as Ethan ended the call.
"Ethan, come on put on your shoes, let's go out" came Neil's voice from downstairs.
"Coming" replied Ethan.
…
"Mommy, can I ask you something?" asked Joy with a smile as she walked into Natasha's office.
"Yes my darling, you can, what is it?" asked Natasha as she looked up from her laptop with a smile.
"What is your favourite colour mommy? It is for my homework" asked Joy as she smiled.
"Well yellow" replied Natasha with a smile.
"Why?" asked Joy.
"Well because my darling, yellow is the colour of the sun, and as long as the sun shine, there is hope" said Natasha with a smile.
"Ahhh okay" said Joy.
"Does that answer your question princess?" asked Natasha with a smile.
"Yes mommy it does, thank you" said Joy with a giggle as she ran out of Natasha's office and Natasha laughed and she shook her head as her phone beeped and she picked it up.
She had a message from Pete that read "I have a date next Saturday"
Natasha smiled as she decided to text him back.
"Oh with who son of the law?" texted Natasha.
"With someone you know" replied Pete.
"Just get a wife before the end of the year, you know that if you don't do it your mom will" replied Natasha.
"Oh don't remind me" replied Pete as Natasha laughed.
"Oh you will be fine, good luck on your date, use that expensive perfume I got you for your birthday, I am sure that should make your date stay" replied Natasha.
"Are you indirectly telling me that I stink?" replied Pete as Natasha laughed even more.
"No, no of course not, I have to go now, see you" replied Natasha as Pete scoffed and he shook his head.

"Daddy, can I ask you a question?" asked Joy with a giggle as she walked into Dom's office and he looked up at her.
"Sure princess, what is it?" asked Dom with a smile.
"I have homework daddy, I need to ask everyone what their favourite colour is, what Is your favourite colour daddy?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Well I love the colour red" said Dom as he smiled.
"Why?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Well I don't really know, I've just always liked the colour" said Dom with a smile.
"Okay, thank you daddy" said Joy as she giggled and she ran out of his office as Dom laughed and he shook his head.
…
"Uncle Xavier, what is your favourite colour?" asked Joy as she ran into the garden were Nine was as he turned to look at Joy with a smile.
"Umm, blue" replied Nine as he carried Joy.
"Why?" asked Joy.
"It's an interesting colour" replied Nine.
"Okay" said Joy.
"Why do you ask princess?" asked Nine with a smile.
"It's for my homework, I need to ask everyone their favourite colour" said Joy with a smile.
"I see, and what is your favourite colour?" asked Nine with a smile.
"Hmm I don't know… I haven't thought about it" said Joy.
"You were asking everyone else, so you need to know as well" said Nine with a smile as Joy was thinking.
"My favourite colour is orange" said Joy with a smile.
"Why orange?" asked Nine with a smile.
"Because my mommy's favourite colour is yellow, and my daddy's favourite colour is red, and red and yellow makes orange" said Joy with a giggle.
"Aren't you clever princess" said Nine with a smile as Joy giggled.
…
The next Monday.
"Miss White, you can go right in" said the secretary with a smile.
"Thank you, and I told you to call me Lulu" said Lulu with a smile.
"Right, sorry Lulu" said the secretary with a smile.
"See you" said Lulu with a smile as she walked to Dom's office, she did not even bother knocking, he was her brother after all.
"Dommmm I'm here...." Said Lulu as she barged into Dom's room but she was surprised by what she saw.
"Hi Lulu" said Dom with a smile as Lulu frowned, she did not like what she was seeing, Dom sitting at his desk and Lia leaning in way too close for him.
"Hi Lulu" said Lia as she stood up straight to look at Lulu with a smile.
"Hi…" said Lulu as she narrowed her eyes at Lia and she walked to Dom.
"How are you?" asked Dom with a smile.
"Good" said Lulu.
"You didn't tell us that you were coming" said Lia with a smile.
"Do I need to tell you before I come and visit my brother?" asked Lulu coldly.
"Well no" said Lia with a smile.
"I will be back Dom, I will send you the remaining files" said Lia with a smile.
"Alright" said Dom as Lia walked out of his office.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Dom as he smiled and Lulu sat down across him.
"Tell me what Lia is doing here?" asked Lulu.
"She's contacted to install the company's new security cameras" replied Dom as he did not mind Lulu's sour attitude, he was used to it.
"Don't you think that she was standing a little bit too close?" Lulu.
"I don't think so" said Dom.
"Of course you don't, you are so oblivious" said Lulu with a scoff.
"Hey, hey, relax, why are you in a sour mood, do you want chocolates or what?" asked Dom as he laughed.
"Ha, ha, ha very funny" said Lulu sarcastically in annoyance.
"What's up, why did to decide to grace my office with your presence this fine morning?" asked Dom with a smile as Lulu snapped out of her thoughts as she smiled.
"I am glad you acknowledge that I do grace you with my lovely, wonderful, unique presence" said Lulu with a smile as Dom scoffed.
