Foreword: Happy 13th Birthday, Shelei! But oddly enough, Shelei won't be present in this *Note*. Xerann, Christima, and Piggo have spent the last few days hanging with Meneera Ling. On the way to the Ling Mansion after school, Xerann stops by her house for a moment with Meneera in tow. Meneera meets Roxxi and Xena Xinders - Xerann's two older, very nasty sisters who have a… colorful way of speaking. And unfortunately for Xerann, her sisters like to bully her - no matter who is around.

**Content warning: An EXCESSIVE amount of profanity is written into this *Note*. This *Note* also contains physical and verbal sibling abuse. Proceed at your own discretion.

*after school, outside the Xinders residence at the bottom of Starwalk Street*
Xerann: *opens the door to her house* So, this is my house… *steps inside*
Meneera: *follows Xerann inside, takes a look around... then wrinkles her nose* And you say FIVE people live in this small place??
Xerann: Yeah.
Meneera: Ew.
Xerann: *shrugs* It's enough.
Meneera: Do you at LEAST have your own bedrooms??
Xerann: We do. Thank God.
Meneera: So you don't live like a total peasant then.
Xerann: *rolls her eyes* My family's not poor, if that's what you're saying. Not the Xinders. My parents, aunt, and uncle just invest a lot of money into our community instead.
Meneera: *blinks* … Why the fuck would they do that?
Xerann: Uh… 'cause it's better than hoarding money? *shrugs again* No offense. I know you're pretty rich.
Meneera: *flicks her hair, smiling smugly* Hell yeah I am! And as far as MY family is concerned, that money is OURS. It sure as shit ain't being given away - especially to something as lame as our "community". *her tone condescending*
Xerann: Whatever. *tiredly* Suit yourselves.
Meneera: We will. Well, hurry up then and get what-the-hell-ever it is that you need. I'm getting claustro-fucking-phobic just being in this place.
Xerann: *smirks - she breathes a light chuckle*
Meneera: *notices* What's so funny??
Xerann: You saying "what-the-hell-ever" and "claustro-fucking-phobic". Just reminds me of something my sisters would say.
Meneera: *raises her eyebrow* Okay…? So?
Xerann: Hmph. Never mind. *shakes her head… she turns away* Not like THAT’S a compliment… *mumbles to herself as she begins to head down the hallway towards her room*
Xena: *comes up the hallway towards her younger sister, Xerann* 'Sup, ass-slut?
Xerann: Shut up, Xena - I don’t have time for this. *not looking her in the eye*
Xena: *whacks Xerann upside the back of her head*
Xerann: Ow! *stumbles to a stop*
Xena: How about you mind your god-flippin' ass attitude, shit-bitch??
Xerann: *rubbing the back of her head, scowling* Screw off already.
Xena: *laughs evilly… then happens to spot Meneera*
Meneera: *still standing near the door - her eyebrow arched as she looks at Xena*
Xena: Hey, who the fuck let this blonde-bimbo-lookin' hoe-bag into our house?? *jerks her head at Meneera*
Meneera: *her jaw drops* EXCUSE me?! *indignantly - she takes a step forward* The FUCK did you just call me?!
Xerann: *sighs* Don't listen to her, Meneera. *turns to Xena* That's my new friend from school, Meneera. And don't call her that, please.
Xena: *eyeing Meneera up and down with a look of disgust… then turns back to Xerann* It's so fuckin’ whack to me how you keep comin’ home with new friends, fuck-face.
Xerann: *flushing, starting to feel embarrassed* Sh-shut up already, Xena! People like me, okay?! 'Cause… *glances over at Meneera… before she looks back at Xena* … 'cause I ain't a BITCH like YOU are! *her stiffened body trembling - bracing herself*
Xena: *backhands Xerann across the face*
Xerann: Ahhh! *doubles over, holding her face*
Xena: Mind. Your. GOD-FLIPPIN' ASS ATTITUDE I said!!! *yells, then rounds on Meneera* If you know what's good for you, you hella nasty dick-sucker, you'd stop wasting your time with a waste of skin like THIS ass-slut!! *jerks her head at Xerann*
Xerann: *breathing heavily and deeply, trying to calm herself down as she rubs her still-stinging face*
Meneera: *looking absolutely appalled* … What the FUCK kind of loser language are you even speaking?! You sound like a TOTAL fucking idiot! And I've met a LOT of TOTAL fucking idiots this week!
Xena: *glares at Meneera* Looks like YOU need to mind YOUR god-flippin' ass attitude too. *takes a threatening step towards Meneera*
Xerann: *straightens up abruptly* Xena, don't you even THINK about it! Leave Meneera alone! It's bad enough you punched Piggo in the face the first time he came here! *clenching her teeth, her body tensing up once more*
Xena: *laughs evilly* Fuckin' fatass fuck.
Xerann: Shut up!! *angry*
Roxxi: *emerges from her bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her - walks briskly up the hallway* What are y'all runnin’ your hell-fuckin’ mouths about now?!
Xena: Check out this loser-ass fuck-tard Xera just brought home. *jerks her head towards Meneera*
Roxxi: *stops in her tracks - looks at Meneera, up and down just as Xena had done…* … What in the sweet fuck am I even lookin' at?? God-shittin' Barbie up top, Wednesday Addams down bottom. *sneers* You dress yourself with a frig-ass blindfold? Fuckin' fuck, Xera, *turns to her* where in the shit do you even keep findin’ these fuck-tards??
Xerann: *sighs heavily* Leave her alone already, oh my God. Now just let me - *tries to step around Roxxi*
Roxxi: *pinches Xerann's neck with her razor sharp fingernails*
Xerann: OW! *rubs her neck* What the HELL was THAT for?!
Roxxi: 'Cause I fuckin' felt like it.
Xena: *laughs evilly*
Xerann: Ugh… hands OFF my neck… *still rubbing, attempts yet again to get past Roxxi*
Xena: *sticks her foot out - trips Xerann*
Xerann: *falls to the floor with a shout*
Roxxi & Xena: *laugh their asses off - their laughter shrill and cruel*
Xena: Good fuckin’ hell, you cunt-wad. You're WAY too easy to mess with.
Roxxi: Still wanna shittin' hang with her now, Barbie Addams?? *to Meneera* You'll see, if not fuckin' already - Xera's as lame as the day is fuckin' long. *looks back down at Xerann* Ass-slut.
Xerann: *clenches her fists, still on the floor, trembling with anger and humiliation* ~Why must they do this in front of Meneera…??~
Meneera: *silent for a few moments... then takes another step forward* Xerann.
Xerann: *turns her head to look at Meneera*
Meneera: Why the hell are you taking that shit from them??
Xerann: *jaw goes slack* I, uhh… I d-don't… *stammering*
Meneera: Whatever the reason, fucking DON'T! Stand your fucking ground! This is just PATHETIC.
Xerann: *blinks in shock… unsure how to react*
Xena: Xera's pathetic, yes, but she ain't an idiot. She knows we run this goddamn house.
Roxxi: Our house, our rules. *smirks*
Meneera: Hell no. *shortly* As far as I'M concerned, you two are just a couple of fucking losers who talk like WANNABE tough girls. *narrows her eyes at Roxxi and Xena*
Roxxi & Xena: *both glaring at Meneera as though looks could kill*
Roxxi: Who the SHIT are you callin' “WANNABE” - I'll beat your frig-ass right now for that one!! *starts striding towards Meneera*
Xena: *follows Roxxi, scowling*
Xerann: STOP! *scrambles up from off the floor in a panic* Don't touch her!!
Meneera: *whips out her cell phone*
Roxxi & Xena: *stop in their tracks at the sight of the phone - shocked she has one*
Meneera: *now glaring as though HER looks could kill* Do you two losers have ANY idea who you're even fucking TALKING to?? You're talking to ME, Meneera Ling, who is now the RICHEST girl in this lame excuse of a town! You KNOW what that means, don't you??
Roxxi & Xena: *exchange glances with each other, looking stunned*
Meneera: You try ANYTHING with me, and it only takes ONE PHONE CALL to get whoever I need to get your stupid asses back twice as bad! Not only THAT, *holds her head up proudly* but my dad is the new Chief of Police in this town. You assault me, and he'll be here to arrest your asses in two seconds FLAT.
Roxxi & Xena: *stare at Meneera with the widest of eyes*
Roxxi: You're… you're bluffin'!! *almost stammering*
Xena: But she has a CELL PHONE. *hisses at Roxxi* Only rich kids have THOSE.
Meneera: *taps for a moment on her cell phone* … Here is photo evidence of me and my dad in his police uniform. *holds up a picture on her phone*
Roxxi & Xena: *squint at it, their mouths hanging open*
Xerann: That's right. She ain't bluffin'. 
Roxxi & Xena: *turn toward Xerann - as though they forgot she was even there*
Xerann: Meneera's dad's a cop, and she just inherited her grandfather's fortune, his mansion, and everything that comes with that life. So… back off her. … Ass-sluts. *quietly but dangerously*
Roxxi: *screws up her face* You shut your GOD-SHITTIN' MOUTH, shit-bitch! *strides towards Xerann with a raised hand*
Meneera: *starts to dial a number*
Xena: *sees* What the FUCK are you doing?! *frantically to Meneera*
Roxxi: *whips her head towards Meneera, eyes WIDE - hand suspended in mid-air*
Meneera: *looks up* What, you think what I said only applies to ME?? You keep messing with my new friend like that, and I'll call my fucking dad right now!!
Roxxi: *hastily lowers her hand, scowling*
Xerann: … Meneera… *staring at her in awe*
Meneera: If Xerann don't have the backbone to do it, I will. If I hear you're messing with her,
I'll get people after your asses. If not my dad, it'll be someone else. I know people. I have connections. I have money. So if you know what's good for you… leave her the fuck alone.
Roxxi & Xena: *staring at Meneera… stunned, appalled… speechless*
Meneera: *nods at Xerann* Go get your shit.
Xerann: *snaps out of her awe* R-right! *turns and hurries to her room*
Xena: *looking as though she wants to follow her... takes a single step forward -*
Meneera: Don't even THINK about it! *snaps, raising her phone*
Xena: *flinches - recoils back into her spot*

*a few moments later*
Xerann: *comes back down the hallway with a bag*
Roxxi & Xena: *watch silently*
Xerann: Alright, let's go, Meneera. *looks back at her sisters* Bye... I'll see ya later. Maybe.
Roxxi & Xena: *grunt goodbyes under their breath*
Meneera: *smiling smugly at Roxxi and Xena... turns on her heel and leads the way out of the house with Xerann*

*outside, walking up Starwalk Street*
Xerann: Um… thanks for that. *timidly* My sisters are real, uh… bitches. As you noticed.
Meneera: My God. They sounded like SUCH fucking idiots. *rolls her eyes*
Xerann: *suppresses a laugh* Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Meneera: Well, don't worry. Stick with me and I'll train you to stop taking that shit from them - even when I'm not around. Remember, I ain't always going to be here to save your ass.
Xerann: *soft chuckle* Sounds awesome to me. I… wanna be able to stand up to them without fear already… *stares off into the distance*
Meneera: Like I said. If they mess with you, stand your ground. And if you can't, I'll get a hold of someone who can put them in their place. Or my dad. Easy.
Xerann: *looks at Meneera* Is your dad really the Chief of Police here in Tidevale…? *her eyes wide in wonder*
Meneera: *smiles slyly* Yup! He was back in Boston too. He doesn't HAVE to work, ‘cause we're rich as fuck, but he said if he didn't, he'd get bored. *rolls her eyes again* Fucking weird.
Xerann: *smirks*... You know, I guess your dad is kinda like MY parents when you think about it… giving back to their communities.
Meneera: *looks at Xerann as if she was crazy*
Xerann: *bursts out laughing at the look on Meneera's face* Am I wrong, though??
Meneera: *shakes her head and sighs*
Xerann: *after a moment more of laughing* … So, we still heading to the mall tomorrow…? *rubs a hand over her stomach*
Meneera: Of course we are. I'll send my limo to get you at noon.
Xerann: *nods* Cool… okay then. The look on my sisters' faces should be priceless seeing THAT.
Meneera: You're not gonna chicken out on me, are you?
Xerann: No, no! *laughs* I won't. As long as you're paying for it all.
Meneera: *flicks her hair* Naturally.
Xerann: Then we good. *grins at her*
Meneera: I can't WAIT until we do something about that unruly ponytail of yours. *runs her own fingers through Xerann's hair* And that tacky headband has GOT to go!
Xerann: *wrinkles her nose at Meneera, then smiles again* Fine - whatever you say, Miss Rich and Powerful! *laughs*

END?
END!
