CHAPTER 12
(part 1)
(part 1)
The whole family was enjoying an ordinary day in the Leto mansion.The three girls, Muna, Anna and Sophie were at the playroom talking.
Muna: I'm desperate.
Anna: YOU're desperate? Do you see this? (Anna held her hair) That used to be called hair! I don't even have money for hair dye.
Muna: Well I don't have money for the Green Day gig.They're coming next month!
Sophie: I am totally broke too.And I don't wanna ask money from dad....again.
Muna & Anna: Yeah!
Sophie: But I've got an idea on how we could easily earn enough money for all of us.
Muna: What?!
Sophie: So I got to talk with a guy who suggested me something...You will probably freak out but if you think about it, it's genius and SO easy.
Anna: Shoot!
Sophie: He is a working in a big marketing business company and he asked me if we would like to advertise some specific products in an...original way.
Anna: Original way, meaning?
Sophie: Well...by installing secret cameras to the house.And we will be promoting to dad, uncle or whoever comes in.All we have to do is to give positive feedback on the products.Then they will take the tape, release it online, and we'll get big cash in our pockets!
Muna: SERIOUSLY?! I am iiiiiiiiiin.That's a lot of money!
Anna: What?! SECRET? No no no, I can't do that...
Sophie: Don't be a chick and act seriously.We're gonna earn much just by bullshitting.
Anna: Yeah but what about the others? We should tell them about it!
Sophie: No, that's the thing, we mustn't tell.They have to be the experiments.It's the new way of advertising!
Anna: Dude, I don't know...I mean I know we've done a lot of stuff already to them but that's WAY TOO much.
Muna: When was the last time we weren't too much?
Anna sighed.
Anna: Alright, alright, but if they find out I won't take the blame!
Sophie: Relax, everything will be okay.Gotta call mr Ederson, he's the marketing guy.First of all we need to get our dad and uncle outta here for a bit in order to install the secret cameras.
Muna: That's easy, let's go downstairs.
The girls got downstairs, where Jared was reading a book and Shannon was smoking a cigarette.Suddenly, Muna started screaming.
Muna: AAAAAAAH, OH SHIT, aaaaaaah!
Anna whispered: What are you doing???
Muna: IMPROVISING, hold me!
Jared and Shannon ran towards Muna.
Jared: What happened! Are you alright?
Muna: No no no, dad, my stomach is killing me.We need to go to the hospital!
Jared nodded and held her in his arms.
Jared: Alright Shan, I'm taking her to the hospital, you stay here with the girls.
Sophie widened her eyes.
Sophie: UH, no he can't !
Shannon: Why?
Anna bit her lips.
Sophie: Uhm well cause you promised to drive me to Beth's party today!
Shannon: What? I don't know anything about that!
Sophie: Your memory fools you.It's today, and we are already late.
Muna: I'M DYING HEREEEEEEE, LET'S GO!
Sophie left mr Ederson's phone number to Anna, and Sophie, Shannon, Jared and Muna headed to their destinations.Anna quickly called mr Ederson, who after some minutes came with his crew.They installed the secret cameras and then left off the mansion.An hour later everyone came back.
Jared: So what was the stomach thing about? The doctor said you're completely fine!
Muna: Uhm...I don't know, maybe that thing you call food in the fridge fucked me over.
Jared: MUNA!
Shannon: What about you, Sophie? You didn't even remember where Beth's house was and we were just messing around.
Sophie: I always seem to confuse Beth's house with Becky's, sorry! Names look alike...
Shannon: The party wasn't even today.
Sophie: I also always seem to confuse Tuesday with Thursday.Sorry...
Sophie hugged Shannon.Shannon squeezed her.
Shannon: Oh well, it's alright.What you been up to, Anna?
Anna got that terrified look.
Anna: Aaaah....erm...me? Oh well, you know, the ordinary, watch some TV, done some homework...
Shannon: You hate watching TV.
Jared: You mostly hate homework.What's wrong?
Jared stared at her.
Anna: Alright alright, you got me, I just listened to music...loud.Hope Marple doesn't come out for us.
Jared: Oh I'll take care of her, don't worry.Go and get musically educated, kid.
Sophie: Erm....girls I need some help with something, can you join me in my room in 5 minutes?
Jared: Are we not good enough for you?
Sophie: It's girly....stuff.
Shannon: Did you have sex?
Jared glared at Shannon.
Sophie: No, I got my period! Let's go girls.
The girls joined Sophie in her room.
Sophie: Anna, update us.
Anna described what happened and also showed them the products that they would have to advertise.
Anna: Uhm so, first we got those cigarettes.Then we got that hair jel.And here we are, we got that orange juice.
Muna: Easy, Shannon gets the cigs, Tomo gets the hair jel and Jared gets the orange juice.
Anna: Ha, it's fun when you call them with their names.Uh, yes that seems pretty cool to me.Please let me have Tomo!
Sophie: I'm definitely getting the orange juice.
Muna: Sophie! I don't smoke.
Sophie scratched her head.
Sophie: Right, I forgot that now I have to smoke IN FRONT of my own uncle.For fuck's sake.Anyway, we start tomorrow.
The next day, Muna found Jared in the kitchen.The first hidden camera was next to the fridge.
Muna: Good morning, daddy!
Muna kissed Jared.
Jared: Cheered up today?
Muna: Yes! And always ready to take my everyday vitamines.
Jared looked at Muna above his newspaper.
Jared: Uh, yeah, alright...whatever.Did you have breakfast? Come join me.
Muna: Of course dad, I will join you.Do you know that the breakfast is the most important meal of the day? We need to get strong and prepare for the day with an orange juice.
Muna smiled to the camera.
Jared: ...orange juice is okay.
Muna: No dad, not all orange juices are okay.Only ONE is the ideal one.
Muna opened the fridge and took out the orange juice which should be advertised.
Jared: What is that, new juice brand?
Muna: YES! It's called....Vitaminous.You haven't tasted something better than that.
Jared: Yeah, I bet but I'm already drinking my coffee thanks.
Muna smiled to the camera again.
Muna: No, you don't understand.Damn the coffee and all those silly beverages, Vitaminous is the answer for a healthy and juicy life!
Jared: Muna, are you alright?
Muna: Of course I am alright!
Muna kept showing off Vitaminous to the camera.
Jared: Eeeh hello, I'm here!
Muna: Oh well sorry, here drink this.
Jared: Muna, sweetheart, I'm drinking my coffee now, I will throw up!
Muna: NO DADDY, YOU'LL TRY IT NOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Jared: Alright alright, ssssssssh, give it to me.
Muna smiled and whistled.
Jared drank the orange juice.
Muna: You can tell me it was the best thing you've ever tasted, right? Because VITAMINOUS, you heard ladies and gentlemen, VITAMINOUS is the best juice for a healthy mind.
Jared: For your information, it's just you and me in the kitchen...
Muna: Don't swear over that. *cough*
Jared: ...and second that orange juice is cool.
Muna: OH SO YOU AGREE, that is the best orange juice ever.It outbeats everything on this planet.Tears down bacteria, viruses...
Jared: Muna, what's wrong with you?
Muna: I'm okay! Need to get dressed up, see you in a bit.
Muna went upstairs and let the girls know that the trick worked with their dad.
Anna: Great, Tomo will be here in a bit, he needs to go somewhere with dad, so it's my turn then.
Sophie: Yes, the uncle is at the gym now, so I'll do my part later.
Anna: Soph, you should skip the gym part in the advertisement.I mean....gym-cigarettes don't go together.
Sophie: Oh yeah thanks for that hahahahhaa.
The bell rang.
Anna: That's TOMO! Wish me luck! How do I look?
Muna: Omg, I just noticed you wear heels and....you hold a bag? Seriously?
Sophie: Anna, you're still in the house..
Anna: Oh fuck you girls.I had promised to that bag that it would be in my TV debut!
Sophie and Muna started laughing hysterically.Anna went downstairs to open the door for Tomo.
Anna: Tomo!!
Tomo: Anna! How are you doll?
Anna: Good good, come in.
The second hidden camera was under the TV.
Tomo sat at the couch.
Tomo: So, where's Jared?
Jared entered the living room.
Jared: Man, just heard you coming, how're things?
Tomo: Just peachy!
Anna: Tomo, what's wrong with your hair today?
Tomo checked his self out at the mirror.
Tomo: What's wrong?
Jared: Think it's okay, Anna..
Anna: Dad, you're destroying the WHOLE concept of my story, please get back to your kitchen.And make some dinner.
Jared: WHAT?!
Anna: Look dad, I got a job here and you're getting in my way.So turn around and go to your kitchen.We got cookbooks under the black drawer.Bolognese spaghetti seem good to me, now go go go.
Jared opened his mouth.
Jared: Are you nuts?
Annd: I AM STRESSED FOR LETO'S SAKE! Can you leave now, I'm....omg...my bracelet almost fell off my arm...Dad you're stressing me, please leave!
Jared swore and said 'I did something wrong at their birth'.He left then.
Tomo: Ha, you know how to settle your dad down, don't ya?
Anna: True.Now I gotta recommend you something about your hair, because I love you and I want the best for you, you know that right?
Tomo swallowed.
Tomo: Anna, what happened?
Anna looked at the camera and pretended she was looking for something in the bag.
Tomo: Why do you hold a bag in the house? And why are you dressed like that?
Anna ignored Tomo.
Anna: OH I FOUND IT! The magic key...
Tomo: You found what?
Anna sat next to Tomo.
Anna: This is hair jel.It's called HAIRJET and it's the best thing you've ever used in your entire life.
Tomo: Anna, I don't use hair jel in my hair.And specially that thing, I don't know where it comes from.
Anna: Oh darling, I use it EVERYDAY and it has saved my life! Just a pinch of HAIRJET, and your hair shines! Trust me.
Tomo: If you're using it everyday, how come you don't have your dad's hair in Closer to the Edge video already?
Anna: Come on, I know how to use it.
Anna stood up and started posing in front of the camera while holding HAIRJET.
Tomo: Anna, there's none where you're looking at.
Anna: Ssssh, that's my debut scene! HAIRJET...FOR THE HARD-HEADERS...
Tomo: ARE YOU ALRIGHT?? I AM HERE, WOOHOO!!
Anna: Let me put some HAIRJET in your hair and I will stop it, I swear.You won't regret it.
Tomo: Alright , alright but just a pinch okay? And then I'm outta here with your dad.
Anna smiled and used almost half of the HAIRJET on Tomo's hair.All Tomo's hair were a brand new mohawk.
Anna: Now, that's what I call a cult.Take a look at the mirror.
Tomo rushed himself to the mirror and when he saw all his hair in a mohawk, he started screaming.
Tomo: WHAT'S THATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!
Anna: It's the 2011 look, Tomo, get in line for fashion!
Tomo: ARE YOU SERIOUS, DUDE, WHERE IS MY HAIR, WHERE IS MY LOVELY HAIR! THAT HAIRJET BULLSHIT THING IS STRONG!
Anna looked at the camera again.
Anna: You all heard, HAIRJET will never let you down.It holds your hair still for days, even weeks! It is a masterpiece for every kind of hair.
Tomo: Did you just say....WEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS?
Jared heard the noise and ran to the living room.By the time he saw Tomo, he started laughing.
Jared: Launched the new Marshawk already, man?
Tomo: One thing...why do I ALWAYS have to be the experiment for your girls's ideas? Look at that.That HAIRJET thing will never leave my hair.
Tomo whined.
Jared: Right, one reason to shave your head.
Tomo: YOU MUST BE CRAZY! I prefer the Marshawk.
Anna: So, even the client himself admits it that he loves the new hairstyle, of course ALWAYS AND FOREVER with HAIRJET!
Tomo sighed.
Tomo: Jared, can we just leave?
Jared smiled.
Jared: Yeah yeah, getting my jacket and we're off...hawkman.
Tomo: Anna....
Anna: Yes?
Tomo scatched his head awkwardly.
Tomo: Do you think, this hairstyle can be good? I mean...you know with that HAIRJET thing...
Anna's face shined.
Anna: Of course! You look gorgeous now!
Jared told Tomo he was ready.Jared got out of the house and nodded at Tomo.Tomo tried to leave the house too but the hawk was so tall and hard that it hit the door and he fell on the ground.
Jared started laughing like crazy.
Jared: OH MAN YOU'RE REALLY ROCKING THIS 'I'M FROM MARS' THING HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.
Tomo: Mind your own business....poncho-piggieman.
