10 Double Trouble

The next day Kiara woke up early in the morning. She was so exited as she had a brilliant idea for her stall. It was after she had a small talk with her customers that day.

She took a white board from her brother's room. It looked dirty with the marker so she grabbed the duster and she cleaned the whiteboard. She took a black permanent marker and started to write something on that board.

<Meow Meow's Lemonade>

She drew a cat's head and mustache with its paws on the white board.

Not long after that she put the whiteboard at the living room. She started to prepare her lemonade juice at the kitchen by herself. She was so eager and sang few songs in her little voice. It was Saturday so she was free that day.

After a few minutes was in the kitchen, her mother came down to prepare the breakfast. The kitchen was look horrible. The mother almost yelled as she was getting angry to see her favourite table been stained with the lemon juice and some scratches because of the knife.

Mrs Mori: "What's on earth are doing Kiara?!" She also shocked to hear her own annoyed tone talking to her daughter. She drawn-out her tone after realized her tone scared Kiara.

Kiara was looking at her and she burst out crying when heard her mother's voice raising up to her. Her wailing voice could be heard around the house and to the neighbour as if she was beaten or something. Everyone recognized the drama voice.

When the mother looked at all the vegetables in the sink and she checked her fridge was emptied, she almost fainted. She just sat on the high stool near the sink.

Teddy hurried up went down to the house after hearing the high pitched voice of Kiara early in the morning. Before he went to the kitchen he saw his whiteboard at the living room was cleaned and new object was written on it.

He brushed his eyes as if he wasn't believed what he saw. It was indeed his whiteboard but he was wondering why was a drawing of cat was on the whiteboard. There supposed to be their team's strategy but now it was gone.

Teddy: "KIARA!!"

He subconsciously called out his sister with the tone he used with the team.

He went to the kitchen and looked at Kiara was sitting on the stool. She drank a cup of water after the early chaos she made while the mother returned all the vegetables inside the fridge.

Teddy: ""Who did this?" He showed the whiteboard to his sister.

Kiara: "It's mine."

Teddy: ""Why did you do this? This is my thing. You should not go and take thing that is not belong to you." His monotone voice was shaking as if he wanted to explode.

Kiara: "Am I not belong to you?." She asked him back and pulled he curly hair to the back of her ear. He started to cool down.

"Beside it was dribbling and nothing much on the whiteboard. Trust me. Your team will not be able to read them."

Her explanation made him thinking for a moment.

Teddy : "Are you sure?" His eyebrows started to frowning.

Kiara: "You can start with Dingxiang. He is here."

She pointed at the door. Dingxiang was standing there who rushed to their house after hearing the high pitched her voice that morning.

Teddy looked up at the kitchen back door.

Teddy: "Is that true ?" He asked him straight away.

Dingxiang: "Wo…. bro, I didn't know anything what are you talking about.. ha..ha..ha." He tried to walked away from that conversation but then their mother held him.

Mrs Mori: "Come in Dingxiang. Please have a breakfast with us."

They had their breakfast together that morning and as usual Kiara will be get bullied by his brother by forcing her to eat the salad. She also been warning not to take anything from the fridge for her stall.

Kiara: "I must get something for my stall today. I need to make money."

Teddy: "You can sell anything but not veggies from the fridge."

She didn't say anything to her brother. She was thinking of something.
