Still liked it. Rob telling Fox she's no vampire made me laugh out loud - seems apt for the moment with the stories going on in that kind of 'vein' *laughs*
Ah I know. Anyway, was still sweet. I like the fact that they feel like one big extended family despite all the tensions. That feels heartwarming. Thanks for that.
I know things are bad at the moment but when you get back on your feet would love more... no rush, hon.
*hugs*
Take care & TTYL,

Mel smiled as Rob had to half carry her to Chester's kitchen table. Fox looked her sister up and down. She was a mess. Mel kicked at the floor with her scuffed up navy blue ninja sandels. Her uniform was splattered with blood and speckeled with dirt and she was exchausted. Rob smiled at her as he pulled out a chair and handed her a cloth to get the cut on her face to stop bleeding. Chester chuckeled at her as his front door opened and shut. Little draven who was only about ten years old came in. He had a sour look on his face as he hugged Chester.
"Draven! Say hi to your uncle rob and Mel."
Draven ignored his fathers request as he ran off to the room that was reserved as his room. Chaz looked at Sam who came in carrying Draven's bag.
"What's with him?"
"You need to talk to your son about getting bullied."
That was all sam said before turning around and leaving. Chester called Draven down. The sullen ten year old came down with a disdainful look at Mel and Rob.
"Why do you bother learning to fight? there's always gonna be someone bigger and stronger."
The ten year old said as he looked at Mel. Mel sighed as she ruffeled draven's hair.
"I learn to fight so I can get stronger. I get stronger because my daddy always told me that if there was something worth fighting for then you need to protect it with you life."
Draven snorted as he looked at chester.
"Daddy, uncle rob lied. theres nothing worth fighting for."
Chester was astonished as Draven went back up to his room. Rob exchanged glances with Chester.
"I think I know what this is about..."
Chester said before he got up to go talk to his son. Mel looked at rob.
"Daddy, You and mom will get back together right?"
Rob shook his head before pulling his hat off and plopping it down on her head.
"Some times mel, things get too broken and you just cant fix it. You and your sibblings had your hearts in the right place when you tried to put me and your mom up to being together, but this is one of those things that were just too broken."
He said as he hugged his daughter. She winced as he hugged her. Her back was aching since her teacher had her doing the Hugya technique untill she was able to do it perfectly everytime. She was proud that she mastered it so quickly.
Mel skated by the school the next day once it had let out. she decided to drop by and see her siblings. Fox was with chester so she wanted to go say hi to Fribby and Sara. She spotted Fribby from a distance but sara was no where in teh vicinity. She swerved to miss some big dimwitted jock as he wasnt watching where he was going. Mel kicked the tail up as she waved at her brother.
"Hey fribby, where's Sara?"
Fribby gave his sister a hug.
"Shes with grandma bourdon. What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to say hi and I wanted to see jimmy. I havent seen him in like forever."
Fribby rolled his eyes as he pointed him out to her. She turned to find him but her way was blocked by the large jock she almost hit. He cracked his knuckles threateningly.
"BB, dont hit her."
Fribby said warningly. BB ignored him as he grabbed her skateboard and snapped it in half with ease. Calmly, mel picked up the pieces and tossed them in the back of fribby's truck.
"Frib, do you mind giving me a ride home after I talk to jimmy?"
BB took a step forward and pushed fribby out of the way and onto the grass. A warning look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mel.
"Dont do anything stupid mel...."
He muttered as he brushed his hands off. Mel stood infront of fribby with her hands loose and set infront of her chest as she slid her left foot back.
"I wont."
She said back to him as the jock cracked his knuckles.
"Great a mouse needs the flea to protect him. The son and daughter of a washed up rockstar who cant hack it."
Calmly Mel turned her attention to BB.
"Dont insult my family. I dont want to fight you."
She said trying to keep her voice level.
"Why? All you have is a ****** up family. A ******* for a father, a groupie ***** for a mother, a **** head for a brother, and one gay punk rock ****** for a boyfriend."
Suddenly BB came at her with his fist out. She struck him with an open palm rapidly with sometimes one hand and other times both hands on the targets. She hit him with a rapid succession of blows, moving quickly through the Huyuga technique as if it was seccond nature to her muscles. She struck him in the back right inbetween his shoulder blades with such a force, he was sent sprawling head over heels in the dirt of the baseball field they used as a parking lot.
"And that is the hampster girl move. The Huyuga technique. dont insult my family if you dont want to get your *** kicked again."
She said her voice calm and sure. She watched as he scrambeled away. She helped her brother up and Jimmy stood off to the side.
"Mel, you could have killed him! Dont pull a stunt like that again!"
Fribby lectured. Mel rolled her eyes.
"I know I could have killed him, the whole point is i didnt. You have no right to lecture me."
She said. Jimmy ran his hand over the shaved down part of his head. there was a single bright red strip left running right down the middle. Mel turned her back on fribby as she walked over to Jimmy. She smiled as she looked at him. He was wearing a black HIM tank top with black and red plaid pants that looked like the ones that chester wore durring the papercut vid. They hugged.
"I missed you so much Mel."
Jimmy said as he held her close to his chest.
"I missed seeing you too. Things have just been too hetic and troublesome for my taste."
She said sadly as Jimmy told Fribby that he'd give her a ride to chesters place. They sat down in the pinestraw under a couple of pine trees. Mel sniffed slightly.
"Haku, are you crying?"
Mel smiled slightly as Jimmy called her by the nickname that he had given her when they had first met almost six months ago. Back then she was innocent, well more innocent then jimmy was, so he gave her the nickname Haku. (a/n haku means white/pure/innocent warrior in japanese)
"no its just been a rough time. I got what I wanted most, to be with my dad, but now I feel like **** for leaving my mom and fribby and sara."
She said as she looked up in Jimmy's hazel eyes. He smiled down at her in his lap.
"I had the same problem when me mum wanted to come to america. my dad made me feel so bad about it but sometimes you have to go with what you think is right."
Jimmy caught his guitar as it was about to fall.
"Do you have anything new?"
Jimmy smiled as he pulled his nice acustic out of its case. Mel sat up as Jimmy began to play a haunting melody. He then softly started singing to it.
"oh *** awake from your slumber
oh lord wake up from your sleep,
my boat is taking on water and
I know I'm in too deep.
Oh *** awake from your slumber
I am about to drown.
Please reach out your hand and save me
I am about to drown"
Mel smiled as she listened to Jimmy's haunting voice. Sometimes he strongly reminded her of chester, but other times, he had a voice that was all his own and was amazing. His voice trailed off as he stopped strumming the chord.
"that was beautiful."
Mel said. He gave a shy smile as he put his guitar up and Mel laid her head back on his lap. There was a cool zephyer that blew through the trees, barely lifting their hair but it was an almost perfect moment. Jimmy leaned down to kiss her.
"Draven! Say hi to your uncle rob and Mel."
Draven ignored his fathers request as he ran off to the room that was reserved as his room. Chaz looked at Sam who came in carrying Draven's bag.
"What's with him?"
"You need to talk to your son about getting bullied."
That was all sam said before turning around and leaving. Chester called Draven down. The sullen ten year old came down with a disdainful look at Mel and Rob.

wow, I agree with Viking there - that update covered a huge range of emotions... Very deep. I especially love this feeling of helplessness that all the characters seem to share, be it Chester and Draven (nice to see him in there, btw), Rob and Mel or anyone else for that matter. They all seem to be struggling with cirumstances that 'feel' out of their control. Very moving. I especially love the little interlude between Jimmy and Mel at the end beneath the tree... awww... now that was sweet.
Great, as usual. Can't wait for more.
*hugs*

"Where were you?"
Rob questioned Mel as she came in through chester's door. She shook her head.
"Just went to see fribby and Jimmy, thats all."
She said shrugging her shoulders. Rob sighed as he put his hand on her head.
"Your mom called, she wanted you to spend the weekend with her and your sibblings."
Mel's mind thought back to the conversation with Jimmy.
"Alright, I guess thats fair. Are you gonna be in the studio this weekend?"
"We have another borring interview in Seattle."
Rob said as he rolled his eyes and pointed at the calender that Chester had hanging on his refrigerator with all the bands interviews posted on it.
"Dad are you ADHD or something?"
Rob started tickeling his daughter as she squirmed and squealed trying to push him away. After about a few minutes, they ended up in a wresteling match. Rob's cell phone went off. He tried to catch his breath before answering it.
"Hello?"
"Yo Rob its mike, Brad and I are back from New york."
"Thats good news, do you have all the mixing done?"
"Yup we need you to come in and take a look at the final thing."
"I'll be there."
Rob said before hanging up his phone. Mel looked at rob with a quizzical look on her face.
"Uncle mike and uncle brad are back and they have the final CD. Once you get your stuff together, we'll go over there and take a look at what we have. Being youre an expert LP fan maybe you can lend us your expertise."
Rob said as he groaned, trying to get up off the floor. Mel rocked backwards before geting enough momentum to swing her entire body to her feet.
"that rocks daddy. and your getting old."
Rob shook his head darkly.
"Dont remind me."
He muttered as Mel ran upstairs to get her stuff. He took a quaft from his trusty water bottle as he looked once more at the pictures that chester had under his TV stand. He smiled as his eyes passed over the "family" picture. There was Mike and Anna with Joe and Karen. Dave was with Lindsey and Brad was with monica. Chester was holding a new born Draven in his arms as Sam stood behind him. Rob was in the picture holding a much younger Mel on his broad shoulders with his hands on fribby's shoulders while Rav held a young fox and Sara. It made him remember some of the times when he had all the little kids running around the house.
*flashback*
Someone tugged on his arm as he tried to sleep.
"daddy..."
A small voice said. Rob mumbeled as he tried to roll over in the bed that he shared with Rav. Suddenly three big lumps landed on him, making him laugh as he sleepily sat up to see a ten year old fribby, and the twins sitting on his stomache.
"dad, its ten o'clock. mom says its time to get up. "
"Its christmas daddy!!"
Sara shouted at the top of her lungs.
"mommy says we cant open any presents untill you come down."
Mel said as she tugged at him. Rob yawned as he finally got up and went downstairs with them. Fox was sitting infront of the TV watching Nightmare Before Christmas. She protested when Rob switched the TV off.
"Come on Fribby, sara, bring out all the gifts."
Rob said as Rav handed him a cup of coffee. It took all four of the kids to drag in the blanket that the presents were on. Rav quickly pulled out the camera as all the presents were devided up.
"three... two...one... go!"
Rob said. paper and bows flew everywhere.
"Daddy look what santa got me."
Mel said as she showed him a pair of drumsticks. Rob chuckeled.
"How did santa know what to get you?"
"I dunno but theyre not like yours. Yours have the V on them, these have Z on them."
Rob smiled as he looked at them.
"Maybe hes telling you that you need to practice."
Rob said as Mel turned back to her presents. Fribby thanked Rob for the new bike. Sara smiled at her new stereo system. Fox looked disdainfully as she picked up her large unwrapped acustic guitar. She knew better then to complain, but maybe chester could show her a couple of things on the guitar. Then Fribby, Sara, and Mel thought it would be funny to stick bows on rob and all in his hair.
"Well you four better get dressed if you want to come with us to uncle Dave's house."
All the three oldest kids ran off while Fox stayed behind.
"Mom will uncle chester be there?"
"Probably now go get dressed."
*end flashback*
"I'm ready daddy."
Mel said as Rob quickly put the picture frame down.
"Daddy are you crying?"
Mel asked suspiciously. Rob took of his glasses and wiped his eyes.
"No what ever gave you that idea? Lets get going. "
He said as he ushered his daughter out of chesters house. They had a pretty quiet drive to the studio.
Rob questioned Mel as she came in through chester's door. She shook her head.

That was just beautiful! Awww, no seriously, made me laugh, made me mist up, made me stop and think... wow, this is progressing well. Really well. It feels so (sur-)real, just awesome.
The whole 'drumsticks with Z on them' cracked me up... very visual. Fox asking about her 'uncle' Chester... mmm... that made me think. It's a very poigniant glimpse into their past before the proverbial 'fit hit the shan' (Aussie satire). Just... jawdroppingly (real word?) good. You should be proud.
As for Rob crying, we all know in RL I'm his greatest advocate, so one would reason he's only human, rich rock star or not. From an observers perspective; a broken relationship, even when done for the 'right' reasons still hurts everyone involved... and throwing kids into the mix would make it almost unbearable. I'd be more worried if he didn't react at all. Well observed, Mel.
Anyway, literally came online to see if you had added to this and I'm far from disappointed - thrilled actually. Thanks.
*hugs*
As always... adore it. More?

(mel's pov)
I sat in the SUV quietly with my dad in the driveway of my moms house. Those last hours I spent with him in the studio were fun. but of course all good things have to come to an end some time. I quietly pushed the door open as Rav came down the drive way. I gave Rob a sad look as I got out of the car.
"Bye daddy."
I said as Rob gave me a kiss on the top of my head.
"I'll see ya sunday night punkin."
He said as I got out of the car and Rav shut the door behind me. I joined Fribby on the porch as mum stopped dad from driving off.
"Rob I want an official divorce."
Rav said in a deadened voice. Fribby automatically pulled me into a hug as if he knew what was going to happen.
"Take what ever the **** you want I dont care."
Rob said shortly.
"I want custody of the children."
"You arnt taking Mel away from me, Ravyn."
"I'm her mother I know whats best for her!"
"And I'm her father, I know just as well as you do. Let her decide. "
Rob said before he pulled out of the driveway. Mom stepped past Fribby and I, we were left standing there on the porch.
"Mum's been really wound up lately...."
Fribby said, his voice trailing off.
"I dont want anything to happen. I just want them to get back together and us to be a family again."
I said saddly into fribby shirt as he held me tight like the day when mum and dad got into that horrible fight what seemed like years and years ago. But then they promised that everything would be ok and that nothing could come between them. Fribby helped me take my stuff back up to our room while mom called up saying she had to work the late shift and would be off. I stared at the wall scroll that uncle mike had given me for my birthday when I was younger. It was my favorite Naruto character, Haku. That was where Jimmy got his nickname for me from. Smiling, Fribby mentioned that he had a date with a girl. I scoffed.
"how did this happen?"
I asked as I continued to stare at the masked boy with a girlish figure on the wall scroll.
"How did what happen?"
Fribby asked as he rooted around the bottom of his closet looking for a clean shirt.
"How did she obtain extensive brain dammage?"
"Very funny."
He snorted as he changed. He then tossed me his cell phone.
"Call Jimmy, we can go on a double date."
"Who are you, what have you done with my brother and how long can you stay?"
"shove it you punk."
Going on a double date with my brother there is wrong on many levels but it beats sitting around and playing Japanese videogames on the game cube for hours strait. I called jimmy, who agreed.
"We gotta go pick him up. but its ok."
"Thats fine. Get ready."
Fribby said as he went into the WC to wash his face. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and left two strands trailing the side of my face. I put on a frosty blue wife beater and a pair of skater shorts.
"we'll go pick up Alex before we go get Jimmy. Alright?"
Fribby said as he opened up the car door. I slid in the back seat.
"What do you have on the agenda oh fearless brother?"
Fribby rolled his eyes at me before he held up three tickets to the green day show that was suposed to be sold out.
"How the **** did you get these? Jimmy and I had been trying to get them for months to the rainbow club but they were all sold out."
Fribby smirked as he stuck the four tickets back into his pocket.
"I got connections. now shut up so we can get going."
He pulled out of the drive way and drove into this upscale neighborhood that looked like something out of that weezer video beverly hills. I felt uncomfortable. Rich people, now not the down to earth rock stars but the snobby upscale actors and actresses, made me sick. I'm glad that Rob made us work for what we wanted. I think that people who just snapped their fingers and got what ever they wanted were spoiled brats. My school is full of them. My assumption was correct about Alex. She was a blond girl with brown eyes that looked like she had more silicon then half of hollywood. Boy was she in for a shock when we went to pick up Jimmy. She looked at me with a look of contempt as we drove out of the hills to westover. She held a snotty look on her face when I got Jimmy and the two of us sat in the back seat. Jimmy and I shared a look between us thinking that this chick was so gonna be outta place when we got to the concert.
I sat in the SUV quietly with my dad in the driveway of my moms house. Those last hours I spent with him in the studio were fun. but of course all good things have to come to an end some time. I quietly pushed the door open as Rav came down the drive way. I gave Rob a sad look as I got out of the car.
"Bye daddy."
I said as Rob gave me a kiss on the top of my head.
"I'll see ya sunday night punkin."
He said as I got out of the car and Rav shut the door behind me. I joined Fribby on the porch as mum stopped dad from driving off.
"Rob I want an official divorce."
Rav said in a deadened voice. Fribby automatically pulled me into a hug as if he knew what was going to happen.
"Take what ever the **** you want I dont care."
Rob said shortly.
"I want custody of the children."
"You arnt taking Mel away from me, Ravyn."
"I'm her mother I know whats best for her!"
"And I'm her father, I know just as well as you do. Let her decide. "
Rob said before he pulled out of the driveway. Mom stepped past Fribby and I, we were left standing there on the porch.
"Mum's been really wound up lately...."
Fribby said, his voice trailing off.
"I dont want anything to happen. I just want them to get back together and us to be a family again."
I said saddly into fribby shirt as he held me tight like the day when mum and dad got into that horrible fight what seemed like years and years ago. But then they promised that everything would be ok and that nothing could come between them. Fribby helped me take my stuff back up to our room while mom called up saying she had to work the late shift and would be off. I stared at the wall scroll that uncle mike had given me for my birthday when I was younger. It was my favorite Naruto character, Haku. That was where Jimmy got his nickname for me from. Smiling, Fribby mentioned that he had a date with a girl. I scoffed.
"how did this happen?"
I asked as I continued to stare at the masked boy with a girlish figure on the wall scroll.
"How did what happen?"
Fribby asked as he rooted around the bottom of his closet looking for a clean shirt.
"How did she obtain extensive brain dammage?"
"Very funny."
He snorted as he changed. He then tossed me his cell phone.
"Call Jimmy, we can go on a double date."
"Who are you, what have you done with my brother and how long can you stay?"
"shove it you punk."
Going on a double date with my brother there is wrong on many levels but it beats sitting around and playing Japanese videogames on the game cube for hours strait. I called jimmy, who agreed.
"We gotta go pick him up. but its ok."
"Thats fine. Get ready."
Fribby said as he went into the WC to wash his face. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and left two strands trailing the side of my face. I put on a frosty blue wife beater and a pair of skater shorts.
"we'll go pick up Alex before we go get Jimmy. Alright?"
Fribby said as he opened up the car door. I slid in the back seat.
"What do you have on the agenda oh fearless brother?"
Fribby rolled his eyes at me before he held up three tickets to the green day show that was suposed to be sold out.
"How the **** did you get these? Jimmy and I had been trying to get them for months to the rainbow club but they were all sold out."
Fribby smirked as he stuck the four tickets back into his pocket.
"I got connections. now shut up so we can get going."
He pulled out of the drive way and drove into this upscale neighborhood that looked like something out of that weezer video beverly hills. I felt uncomfortable. Rich people, now not the down to earth rock stars but the snobby upscale actors and actresses, made me sick. I'm glad that Rob made us work for what we wanted. I think that people who just snapped their fingers and got what ever they wanted were spoiled brats. My school is full of them. My assumption was correct about Alex. She was a blond girl with brown eyes that looked like she had more silicon then half of hollywood. Boy was she in for a shock when we went to pick up Jimmy. She looked at me with a look of contempt as we drove out of the hills to westover. She held a snotty look on her face when I got Jimmy and the two of us sat in the back seat. Jimmy and I shared a look between us thinking that this chick was so gonna be outta place when we got to the concert.
