Chapter Eight: Homework and Waiting

Joshua walked in the front door of his home, followed closely by Naomi. He had just gotten out of school and since it was Friday, he didn't have to go back until Monday. Joshua walked into the living room with Naomi by his side. The living room in Joshua's home looked like something out of the 1980's. Every piece of furniture came from the 80's era including the living room chairs, the corner sofa, the coffee table, and the wall bookcase. There was certainly no shortage of books in the wall bookcase. There was also a 1980's console television with a VCR and a Classic Nintendo hooked into it. Naomi wasted no time in running up to the television and turning on the Nintendo.

"Dad, I'm home!" announced Joshua as he took his backpack off and placed it next to the couch.

Joshua's cousin Mandy walked into the living room as she said, "I'm afraid he's not back yet, Joshua."

Joshua looked at Mandy with a puzzled look as he said, "Oh? Did he say when he would be back?"

Mandy just shook her head as she replied, "Nope."

Joshua nodded as he said, "I hope he is not on another field exercise. He's been going on those a lot more in the past week."

Mandy smiled as she replied, "Don't worry, I am sure he will be back this evening." Mandy glanced over at Naomi who was playing Nintendo as she said, "Now, now Naomi. You know Uncle Henry's rules. No games until you help Joshua do his homework."

Naomi moaned as her ears lowered behind her head.

Joshua looked at his cousin as he said, "Mandy, do I have to do homework? It's Friday and school doesn't start up again until Monday."

Mandy smirked as she playfully rubbed Joshua's hair. "It doesn't matter. You know your father's rules: no fun until all obligations for the day are fulfilled."

Joshua sighed as he said, "Oh alright." Joshua turned to Naomi as he took her hand. "Lets go Naomi."

Mandy thought for a moment and then said, "Oh and Naomi?" Naomi glanced over at Mandy as the teenage girl added, "Remember what Uncle Henry said. You are to help Joshua with his homework but you are not to do it for him."

Joshua sighed as Naomi nodded in agreement. They remembered that one time Joshua had received an extremely hard homework assignment from his teacher. Naomi had used her "super computer" abilities to complete what would normally have taken hours to do in a matter of minutes. However just as she was getting finished, Joshua's father had walked in on them. To say he was displeased would have been an understatement. Henry promptly snatched the paper away and tore it up. He then made Joshua do the homework himself while assigning Naomi to mop the kitchen ceiling (remember like Stitch, Naomi can walk on ceilings).

Joshua walked into his room with Naomi following close behind. Joshua's bedroom had everything a twelve year old boy could want. There were several action figures sitting on top of the dresser as well as a stack of comic books on Joshua's work desk. Like the living room, Joshua's room also had a very distinct 1980's feature about it. The desk, dresser, and bookcase also were from the 1980's era as were most of the action figures. On the wall were a few trailer posters from 1980's movies and TV shows including "The Neverending Story", "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", "The A-Team", and "Magnum P.I.", etc. Also hanging side by side on the wall at a vertical angle were two flags: one American and the other Soviet. Between the flags was a framed portrait with Reagan and Gorbachev shaking hands. Joshua had "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)" sheets, pillow case, and blanket on his bed.

Joshua took off his backpack as he sat at the desk. He then reached in and took out one of his school books. "Okay first order of business: knock out the math homework."

Naomi cackled as she placed her hands together and cracked her knuckles. She then grabbed Joshua's math book and punched it as hard as she could, sending the book flying into the wall.

Joshua let out a laugh as he said, "That was just a figure of speech Naomi."

Naomi rubbed her head in slight embarrassment as she said, "Oops...meega soka."

Joshua picked up the book, sat back down, and opened it to the page he was assigned to do.

Naomi sat down next to Joshua and looked over the math problems Joshua was working on. "Meega thought yuuga naga have to do homework on Fridays."

Joshua nodded as he said, "Normally I wouldn't. Unfortunately PJ thought it would be funny to set off the school fire alarm and thereby triggering all fire control sprinklers in the building. And he did it right when I was in math class."

Naomi shook her head as she said, "That PJ! Isa naga fair!"

Joshua let out a chuckle as he said, "Tell me about it. And I was almost finished with today's assignment too. Too bad the writing paper is not waterproof." Joshua thought for a moment, then added, "I do have some good news though. The principal was so upset about what PJ had done that she gave him detention for one week...literally."

Naomi chuckled as she watched her friend work. Since Joshua had done this very assignment earlier, he had little trouble in getting it done. After about half an hour, Joshua had completed his assignment and showed it to Naomi.

"So how did I do?" asked Joshua

Naomi looked the paper and nodded as she said, "Isa perfect!" Naomi glanced at Joshua as she asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Joshua reached into his backpack as he said, "Next subject for the day is current events."

Naomi looked at Joshua with a curious look as she asked, "Gaba?"

Joshua took out a newspaper as he said, "That means I have to do an assignment for something in the paper."

Naomi placed her paw on her chin and thought for a moment, then reached for the paper as she said, "Meega nota which article yuuga can..."

Joshua shook his head as he said, "Besides the funny papers, Naomi."

Naomi moaned in slight disappointment as her ears dropped down her back.

Joshua looked at the front page as he read the various headlines. "Myanmarian Confederacy signs mutual defense pact with China. US President Nathanial meets leaders of Japan and United Korea.

Naomi looked at Joshua as she said, "The President is coming here?"

Joshua laughed slightly as he replied, "I wish. According to this article, the three heads of state arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii this morning to discuss the desire of United Korea and Japan to form some sort of new union."

Naomi thought for a moment then said, "What about the sports section?"

Joshua nodded as he opened the paper up and flipped over to the sports section. After reading for a moment, he grinned as he said, "Yes! San Diego Padres beat the Honolulu Jellyfish 15 to 14!"

Naomi giggled as she stated, "Bootifa!"

Joshua looked through the business section. "Well this is a good one. Once again Pizza Hut attempted to buy out Domino's Pizza."

Naomi glanced at her friend as she asked, "Interesting...Domino's say 'Ih'?"

Joshua shook his head as he replied, "Of course not!"

Naomi picked up the Classifieds and read them over. "Hehehe...this sounds like a job for meega. California State University wants volunteer for genetic experiments. Meega could get superpowers!"

Joshua chuckled as he said, "Naomi, you already have superpowers."

"Oh yeah, that's right," said Naomi as she snapped her fingers. Naomi looked over at her friend as she added, "Maybe you can do it?"

Joshua chuckled as he said, "I...don't think dad would approve."

Naomi giggled for a bit, then asked, "Yuuga figure out which article to use?"

Joshua thought for a moment and then nodded as he said, "I'll go with the baseball story."

It took about an hour for Joshua to complete his assignment. When he had finished, he placed his work on the desk and sighed as he said, "Finally!"

Naomi took a look at Joshua's homework and nodded as she said, "About time."

Joshua nodded in agreement as he got up, walked over to his room door, and opened it as he asked, "Mandy, is dad home yet?"

Mandy's voice was heard from the direction of the living room. "Not yet."

Joshua looked his watch over as he said, "What do you mean, 'not yet'? It is just about dinner time."

"I am sure he will be home any minute now," said Mandy with a tone of confidence in her voice.

Joshua looked at his watch and then over at his alarm clock. "I hope he didn't have to go to another field exercise."

Naomi thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe he just has overnight duty at headquarters?"

Joshua rubbed his chin as he said, "If he does, you think he would have called."

Naomi nodded as she stretched out her arms and yawned. Upon seeing his friend yawning, he had suddenly remembered how tired he was after a long day at school followed by an extensive homework assignment.

"I totally agree with you Naomi. We should just take a nap. Maybe dad will come home before we wake up."

With that, Joshua removed his shoes, climbed into his bed, and got under the covers. Naomi jumped up onto the foot of the bed and lay down as well. Less then a minute later, Joshua and Naomi had both fallen asleep.
