“Umm, mom, I cannot seem to find some pictures in my box, did you by any chance search my room again?” queried Eugene towards her mother who was busy on her laptop.

“Do you mean these? “An annoying 5 years old giggled showing off the pictures in her hand.

“Give them back Eleanor..! Eugene screamed.

“Well, you've got to catch me first!” Eleanor smiled wickedly running around the kitchen with her sister on her trail.

“I am so breaking your tiny legs this time around, give them back now and I will forgive all your misdeeds,” Eugene promised.

“Bleeee, yen yen yen yen yen. “ Eleanor replied playfully.

“You… you..you didn’t just go all Michelangelo on me you need to stop seeing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” Eugene commented.

“Not in your wildest dreams!” Screamed back Ellen while running around the kitchen with her tongue stuck out in mockery.

Drawing back the kitchen stood with a loud screech just to annoy her sister further, Eleanor continued smiling with her tongue stuck out.

“Shhh..guys…stop the noise Eleanor, give your sister back her stuff and stops going through them.” Her mother warned.

“But mom….” She whined

“Return them now young lady and apologize.”

“Why must I be the one to apologize Ma, she should do it instead..” Eleanor argued back.

“And why should your Sister apologize to you after you went through her stuff?” her mother questioned.

“Well, you see…”

Before she could conclude her statement a knock was heard.

“Check who is at the door Eugene.. And you young lady, return what you took back to her room now, no questions asked, and do not go peeping into something else.” Her mother warned.

“Alright ma, “ she mumbled running up the stairs.

Eugene after opening the door, met a pizza delivery guy who was about to knock again.

“Mom! The pizza guy is here with your order..”

“What order?” questioned her mom coming out of the kitchen.

“Is this not Number 15?” queried the pizza guy.

“Yes, it is.. But we didn’t order…oh, unless..”

Eleanor!! Screamed both Eugene and her Mother.

“Fine.. Fine.. fine… geez guys, you are both too dramatic I just peeped a little at another box laying beside her bed..”

Seeing the pizza guy, she swallowed hard unable to complete her statement.

Arms akimbo, her mother stared at her in disbelief.

Seeing her mother’s look, Eleanor spoke up, “oh come on mom… who doesn’t love Pizza uhn? even Eugene can not go without eating them in a week. No one is innocent!.” She defended.

“Then I guess you are paying for the pizza then since you’ve started working,” asked her mom?

Rubbing her head she answered innocently,” you see, I have a mother who brought me into this world without my permission so.. She should bare the pain of caring for me.”

“I should do what?... You didn’t just say that” turning to Eugene she questioned, “did you hear her?”

“You.. You are so grounded for a year…” threatened her mom.

“Will I be getting pizzas while grounded?” She queried.

“Will you be what? Questioned her mother, but before Eleanor could answer back the pizza guy cut in.

“I am sorry to cut the family drama short but I have another delivery. I do suggest you teach her a lesson instead.

“You see, continued the pizza guy, I had a cousin 7 years old then, she is 13 now, at 7 years old, she was full of troubles and would order up whatever comes to her mind.”
Walking inside since Eugene still had the door open, the pizza guy strolled in getting himself a seat whilst the family all stared at him.

“Oh quit staring and come in guys, let’s continue our story but before that, I think my nose just picked up the smell of cookies did you just bake some mom? Can I have out of it, please? Add a cup of chocolate to it also.”

“She is not your mom!” Eleanor screamed banging her feet on the floor.

Sighing, Mrs. Rose left Eugene at the door while she walked into the kitchen bringing over some cookies and a glass of water instead.

Realizing what was going on, Eugene closed the door and got herself a seat.

Walking back into the sitting room with cookies and a glass of water, Mrs. Rosie placed them on the table close to the pizza guy before having her seat, having no other choice, Eleanor found herself a seat also.

Clearing his throat, the pizza guy begins his story but not after taking in some water with cookies to top it.

“There was a day my sister took my cousin to the comic book store to get some comics and on arrival, my cousin called the store telling them she needs all interesting comics which they brought in..”

“She was grounded for days but did that stop her?” He asked looking at the family of three staring back at him, he answered his question, “No it did not.”

“There was this other time she ordered Chinese food after seeing the movie ‘ Crazy Rich Asians' blaming the movie for making her crave Chinese food then she was grounded again, but did that also stop her? Questioned the pizza guy with a mouth full of cookies, seeing no one attempt to answer him, he answered himself again…

“For a pizza guy, you are surely full of chatter which makes you a chatterbox, get it?" Eugene laughed out loud....

“You embarrass me, Sis, I told you that word isn’t funny..” Eleanor face-palmed.

“You never did!” Argued back Eugene.

“Well, I just did now” answered back Eleanor.

Shaking his head at the duos, the pizza guy turned towards Eleanor, with a questioning glance, “why were you checking on your sister’s box and why does she have boxes in her room? Did you guys just move in?”

“Oh come on, one question at a time, yes we just did, mom was transferred here some months back but Eugene has failed to unpack since our moving in, she is just so lazy.” Eleanor mocked staring at her sister who just ignored her.

“Hmm.. transferred from where?” he questioned again.

Before Eleanor could answer, her mother butted in...

“Well, thank you for coming in young man, I do appreciate your words but you need to take your leave now..”

“But mom. I still have more to..” the pizza guy gave out a pleading eye.

“No dear, you don’t have any more things to say, thank you, opening up her purse which she had taken from the kitchen counter earlier, she took out a few dollar notes and handed them to him.

Collecting the money, he smiled graciously, “thanks for welcoming me in mom, I guess we will see again tomorrow, by the way, my name is Tony.” He introduced.

“Yes, nice to meet… wait what? ….What’s tomorrow?”

“Erm. You know, it is a day after today..” he answered unsurely.

“No, I mean why would you be here…” she questioned.

“To continue my story, or should we make it on Thursday?” he inquired.

“No, no, no.. we'd rather not make it any day.” Mrs. Rosie answered too quickly, standing up she took him by his hands walking him towards the door.

Eugene quickly stood up to open the door with her mom holding a mumbling Tony and leaving Eleanor standing with a face full of laughter.

Closing the door behind him, Mrs. Rose walked towards the window to see if he had gone, turning around she found her two daughters staring at her, unable to hold the laughs, they all bust into fits of laughter..

“He is truly a chatterbox” commented Mrs. Rosie which brought in more laughs from the children.

“But mom used chatterbox and you laughed Eleanor.. Eugene queried with her eyes up.

“Well, she is a mom and knows how to use the word”. Eleanor answered in a duh tone.

“Ohh.. You… you..” commented Eugene closing in on Eleanor.

“Ohh.. You.. You.. “Mocked back Eleanor with her legs ready to run.

“Enough guys, no more chasing around in my house.”

Pizza drew me in and you delivered the final blow, wonderful story, I hope to see more

Thank you.

What a fun write up @balikis95, gotta love any story that starts with pizza!

Hehe...everyone loves pizza🤗🤗..

This story made me smile all the way through, @balikis95. The antics of the girls are so funny — especially Eleanor. And the pizza guy! What a bizarre and funny character. A very enjoyable read.

Hehe, Eleanor's character was an inspiration from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 😄😄.. And the pizza guy just came through😂😂 he is a chatterbox 😂😂 though I am not sure Eleanor will give this a good laugh since I am not yet a mom🤣🤣.

Thanks, @jayna...

Had a smile on my lips from the start of the story. Eleonor's bubbly personality caught my attention.

Hehe..thanks for reading...glad it did..

Great work on the prompt. It was weird the pizza guy just invited himself in like that.

Hehe, very weird 😂😂😂..

Hah! You've nailed the family dynamics in this story, @balikis95! That sibling rivalry is spot on. I feel for the poor mum having to contend with two daughters who are obviously always at loggerheads. And then the pizza guy - the cheek of him! Haha! You had me laughing through out.

I came in via Dreemport and had a whale of a time. Thank you. 💛

the pizza guy wandering in made me chuckle

Found your post through #dreemport

Hehe, Eleanor is the real vibe..glad you did enjoy it.. Thanks for reading Sis and I love you more😘😘

'Yummy pizza' "here goes a foodie story" I thought at first but got something more interesting.

Hehe..thanks for reading..

@balikis your writing provides us with a clear visual image of the children tearing about the house. We can see them and we can feel the frustration and exuberance - it’s a neat trick you have there and it’s the mark of a good writer. Nicely done!

It’s pretty awkward when strangers in invite themselves in your home, but the family handles it well. Cute story.

Please be sure to engage with other writers in the community and to comment on their stories.

Thank you for your words, it did make my day.. It is funny how some strangers want to take charge of your home and you got yourself thinking.. Should I just hold his ear up?😅😅.. And I did engage with some but I will add more to my list.

A playful story here balikis95, but I always wonder - do you need so much direct speech? I know my mate @jayna likes to wonder otherwise, and while I agree there's always place for dialogue to be developed - I think some of your moments would be more powerful by showing us what's happening, rather than relying on the words.

Although on reflection, given the prompt was chatterbox, and you throw the label around in the piece - perhaps the direct speech reflects the prompt better than indirect. Who knows? Either way, I need another coffee top up. ;)

Awesome Lord☺☺...thank you for this, I did desire to use the indirect but I wanted to try out the direct speech as it has been a long while since I had it used.

Thanks for your valuable contribution and please fill my cup too🥛, coffee has its takes on me😂😂...
