Marital Tension

Darasimi Daniels is about to make a phone call, trying to reach her parents to ask if she could hang out with some friends. This is a new school and city for her, so she needs to build a social life by making some new friends, at least that's what she plans on telling her family.

Darasimi Daniels: What am I doing right now, should I really be going anywhere with these two? (Darasimi thought as she held her phone tightly, thinking about declining their offer)... No, I don't think I can run away from this. Call it fate, destiny or whatever, I don't care. All that matters now is finding out why I keep having that vision, and if it's real or not... I pray it's not real. (Darasimi thought before calling her mother, now waiting for her to pick up the call)

The phone rings for a while, and it seems she might have to call again, but then someone answers the phone.

Darasimi Daniels: Hello, Mummy. Are you there? (Darasimi asked)

Mummy Darasimi: Hello, my love! How was school today? (Darasimi's mother asked, smiling from her end of the phone)

Darasimi Daniels: It was fine, but that's not why I called you... I want to ask you something. (Darasimi nervously tells her)

Mummy Darasimi: What do you want to ask me? (The mother asked intensely, quickly noticing something is wrong)

Just then Darasimi's father walks into the room, and sees that his wife is talking to their daughter.

Daddy Darasimi: Is she on her way home? What is she telling you? (Darasimi's father asked as he approaches his wife)

Mummy Darasimi: Can't you see I am still on the phone?! We are obviously still talking! (The woman responded in anger)

Daddy Darasimi: Sorry oh. I just asked a question, no need to get so upset. (Darasimi's father said before backing off, redirecting his attention to their television)

Mummy Darasimi: Now, what were you saying, my dear? (The mother asked)

Darasimi Daniels: (Exhales) I'm trying to tell you that I'm going to be hanging out with some friends today. So I might be coming home a little later than usual. (Darasimi nervously explains to her)

Mummy Darasimi: Eh?! What did you just say? (The mother asked in anger)

Darasimi Daniels: Mummy please, just let me do this, just this and I will not ask for anything ever again. (Darasimi pleaded)

Mummy Darasimi: Darasimi! Darasimi! Darasimi! How many times did I call you?! (She asked)

Darasimi Daniels: Three times, ma. (Darasimi replied sadly)

Mummy Darasimi: Come home right now! Your father and I did not send you to school to have fun with friends! We sent you to school to study and build up a good future for yourself! So come back home right now, or else I will come find you, and drag you back home myself! (Darasimi's mother warns her)

Daddy Darasimi: You need to calm down! You know things work differently around here, you can't just do whatever you want. (Darasimi's dad intervenes)

Mummy Darasimi: What are you even saying?! Your daughter is out there doing god knows what, and you can't even support me! (Mummy Darasimi yelled)

Daddy Darasimi: Even if she doesn't know where she's going, she knows where she came from. Trust in your daughter, Mummy Darasimi! Things will be more peaceful in this house that way. (Daddy Darasimi explains to her calmly)

Mummy Darasimi: (Sighs) Your dad said you can hang out with your friends. And even if I don't agree with that, I have to respect it. Make sure you don't come home late, and please be careful. (Mummy Darasimi tells her)

Darasimi Daniels: Thanks mum, I will! Love you! (Darasimi said excitedly)

Mummy Darasimi: Love you too... Bye. (The mother tells her before hanging up the phone)

Daddy Darasimi: You see, was that so hard? (Daddy Darasimi tells her with a smile)

Mummy Darasimi: Abeg leave me alone! Why can't you ever support your wife! (Mummy Darasimi tells him before storming away in anger)

Daddy Darasimi: (Sighs) Women... Always so hard to please! She'll get over it eventually. (Daddy Darasimi tells himself before turning his attention back to the tv screen, now trying to relax)

Meanwhile with Darasimi and the boys. Toby and Todd have been watching the teenage girl talk to her mother, and now they're wondering if she has gotten the permission she needed in order to go with them to the arcade.

Todd Forager: You think they said yes? (Todd asks nervously)

Toby Robinson: I have no idea. (Toby admits)

Darasimi Daniels: Yay! I just asked my mom, and she gave me permission to hang out with you guys. But on the condition that I don't stay out too long of course. (Darasimi explains to them happily)

Toby Robinson: Really? I could have sworn I heard her yell no. (Toby tells her bluntly)

Todd Forager: Pay him no attention, we definitely heard nothing! (Todd said before painfully nudging Toby with an elbow)

Toby Robinson: Ow, what was that for? (Toby asks as he rubs his arm)

Darasimi Daniels: (Chuckles) My mom is a bit overprotective, but it's only because she cares... Now, where are we going? (Darasimi asks with a smile)

Todd Forager: Boss Grade Games, you're gonna love it I promise. (Todd tells her before stepping forward, now walking side by side with her)

Darasimi Daniels: I'm not much of a gamer, but I'll do my best. (Darasimi tells him happily)

Todd Forager: That's more than enough. (Todd replies with a smile)

Toby watches Todd and Darasimi walk together, the two getting along nicely. And the young dreamer doesn't like this at all, he's still unsure about her intensions.

Toby Robinson: I don't know what your plan is, Dreamwalker... But I won't let you hurt my friend. (Toby thought before following them, his eyes briefly glowing with energy)
