Daughters of Venus

Part10

 

We woke up with the sun. Put on Our pink mini dresses and made breakfast for five. The doorbell rang as We finished putting breakfast on the table. We went to the door to let Mr. Ishibashi in, opening the door, and greeting "Hi Mr. Ishibashi, breakfast is already on the table. Come in and make Yourself comfortable."

Momma Shannon and Papa John came downstairs as we adjourned to the kitchen. They greeted "Good morning Joe."

"Good morning, and Thank You for having me for breakfast."

We answered "It is our pleasure Joe." We sat down at the table on either side of Him.

Momma Shannon asked "Hope you are ready for a day with Two Crazy Teenage Girls?"

"Well They have honored me already by seating Me between Them."

I replied "Thank You Joe, Would you care for some strawberries..."

`Li'l Sis' continued "Or some cherries for your waffles?"

"No thank You Girls, I stick mainly to maple syrup, and butter. It is just amazing how much the Yeager Women look like sisters. I guess all wearing the same outfit helps. Mrs. Yeager, You must have been a child bride."

"Thank You Joe, I owe my figure to swimming. I try to take care of myself."

We chatted casually, through the rest of the meal. Papa John remarked "Another wonderful breakfast Girls, good luck today Joe." He kissed Us each on the forehead, then said "Saved the best for last come here Wiff of Mine." and kissed Momma Shannon passionately.

"Wow, hurry home Darling, I want more of that." Momma Shannon panted as Papa John patted her on the bottom as He broke Their embrace, and stepped out the door.

"Joe would you like to take your coffee into the living room while the Girl's clean up the dishes."

"Actually, this is fine Mrs. Yeager. It gives me a better idea of what their daily routine is like, by staying here."

"That is fine Joe, and please call, Me `Shannon'."

"Doesn't it get confusing with Both You and your daughter being named Shanon?"

"Actually it has not been a problem. It has only been five days. Of course They like to refer to Themselves as `Big' and `Li'l' Sis' as you may have noticed."

"Joe if you do not feel comfortable calling me `Big Sis' call me `Erin', it is one of Momma's middle name's also but I think we can keep it straight."

"Erin, now that is perfect. You do have a very Irish look to you with your deep red hair and green eyes."

"Thank You Joe, but don't you dare report my name as Erin, for I am very proud of having the same first name as My Mother. Even if it is spelled with only one `n' instead of two."

"Actually I think it is very confusing when people call My `Big Sis' Shanon, because I instantly think of My Mother."

"Well all countries have been heard from now. If it is okay with Jessica and Erin, I think I will go with Erin as you may have noticed already. Do not worry Erin, in the paper your name will appear as Shanon Erin Yeager, as will Your Mother's with two `N's."

Jessica started to say, "They still have one more middle name it is..."

Momma Shannon interrupted "On the way to making this story to long. It is time to get off to school Girls shall we."

"But Momma, I am proud of the name We share, Shanon Erin Xavier Yeager. We are S E X Y Women."

"Well Joe would you like to ride with us or do you prefer to drive your own car."

"I would love to ride with you and Your Daughters, and does Jessica have Her own secret name in Her initials?"

As We grabbed Our beach bags `Li'l Sis' Remarked "Yes but it is not as interesting, J U D Y, Jessica Ursala Darlene Yeager. Its not descriptive like Theirs is `SEXY'."

We giggled as we got into the car. We talked casually on the Way to school. Once there we took Joe in tow, and left Him in the bleachers by the pool while we went into change.

By the time we came out Momma Shannon was by the pool in Her swimsuit with Her clipboard and whistle. "Now For Your Swim Team assignments, diving, spring and platform, three two hundred meter events, the medley, freestyle, back, breast, and butterfly, divide them how You wish, and two 100 meter events freestyle, back, breast, and butterfly, plus all team events in Your specialty. You get to pick."

I spoke first, "I would like to take the butterfly and breast strokes, hundred meter, two hundred meter and team events, okay `Li'l Sis'?"

"Perfect `Big Sis', I always have trouble keeping the butterfly going more than a hundred meters."

Momma Shannon remarked, "Good, split, now on to the platform, double somersaults in the pike position with a half twist. I know that is very easy for you both but remember we have a member of the Press here today. Save the big stuff for the meets."

"Yes Momma." We stretched and climbed to the three-meter platform.

*-`Shall we do it together `Big Sis'?'-*

*-`Sounds like fun, Let's do it on three.'-*

*-`1, 2, 3.'-* We leaped of the platform did the dive slicing into the water. We touched the bottom of the pool, and pushed for the surface. We came out of the water waist high, high fiving.

As we got out of the pool Momma Shannon called "Jessica, Shanon, come to lanes one and six, practice for two hundred meter medley." By the time we reached our lanes Jill was already on the platform for lane three.

Momma Shannon instructed "Concentrate on form, Your speed will increase as you perfect your stroke technique. Now, On Your Marks... Get Set... GO!" I dove for the water concentrating on the techniques Momma Shannon had shown us over the weekend. I finished seconds ahead of `Li'l Sis' and twenty-five meters in front of Jill.

"Jessica, Shanon, cool it a bit. Jill come Here, My daughters have an unfair advantage. I taught them several techniques over the weekend. Since they learned so well, They will work with you and pass on their knowledge. Now Girl's, Jill is a very strong swimmer, and I feel that with the proper training the three of you have a good shot at the Olympic Swim Team. It is going to take lots of hard work and cooperation."

"Yes Momma"

Jill remarked, "Mrs. Yeager, I am ready to learn. Let's get started `coaches'!" We showed Jill the techniques. She picked them up quickly.

When We felt She had the techniques down We asked "Momma can We have another race? Jill is ready."

"In Thirty minutes! Okay let's see how well you Ladies teach. Take lanes six, seven, and eight."

We put Jill in the center lane. "On Your Marks... Get Set... GO!" We hit the water together. Concentrating on technique, and enhancing Jill, We touched together, with Jill just two meters behind.

"Well I know You did not hold back because Your times were faster than the first heat, and Jill even bettered Your first heat times. We Definitely have Three Swimmers who are on the way to The Olympics. Jill, I am really happy with your improvement."

"It was easy Mrs. Yeager, Jessica and Shanon are very easy to learn from. As we raced I felt as If they were there with me every stroke of the way."

As Momma and Jill were talking Jessika called Us, *-`Emergency at Wells Fargo Bank, downtown.'-*

*-`Momma, We have to go there is an emergency, how do We get out of here?'-*

Momma answered, *-`You owe Me an hour, I will send You into the gym to find Another stopwatch.'-* "GIRLS GO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ME ANOTHER STOPWATCH WILL YOU?"

"YES MOMMA."

"Come on Jill, Help Me teach those techniques, to the rest of these girls."

As we stepped inside the gym I ported us to Jessika's. *-`Costumes on.'-* Jessika furnished Me the coordinates. I ported us there. I Located the Gunmen three Men and a Woman. I sent *-`The Woman is standing next to one of the Men. `Li'l Sis' you take them. The other Two are Ours `Sis 4', ready?'-*

*-`READY BIG SIS.'-* They replied. I ported us in right behind our intended targets. Moments later we had them tied up.

As I freed the Manager He reached for My masked I wrenched My Head back Just out of His reach as He asked, "Who are You?"

He accidentally hooked the front of My costume and pulled it down over My left breast. I broke free of His Grasp. Rearranging My Costume and answering "I am Clio, and We are The Daughter's of Venus'."

I sent *-`It is time to go.'-* We grasped hands and I ported Us back to Jessika's.

"Well We have to get back to Swim Team practice. See You tonight..."

Jessika interrupted "I thought it started at eight thirty. I am late again, now I will never make the Team. Mrs. Yeager is not going to be very happy with me."

"Oh We wouldn't say that come on let's go." I ported us into the gym.

*-`Costumes off.'-* We went out to the pool with the stopwatch and Jessika.

`Li'l Sis' Sent, *-`Don't worry We should be able to get You on the team She like's Us a little bit. Just so long as She is not in a bad mood.'-*

As We came up behind Momma Shannon She remarked "What is taking those Two so long to find a stopwatch?"

We sent, *-`OOPS Sorry Jessika We may not be able to help You after all.'-*

Then said "Here Momma and We found a bonus for also, `Sis 4'."

Jessika fumed "You Two are going to get it, You Rats!"

We laughed heartily "The look on Your Face when You saw it was `Sis 3', Oh it was priceless."

"Well now that You have finally made it to practice, I guess I should have made the connection. When I read you're message canceling because you had to go in to fill in for another lifeguard. So what is your specialty."

"I am best at Sprints, and I am a pretty good diver, even better now."

"Good hold on while I put these Two to work. I want You to swim laps, no legs down, no arms back, until I say stop. Momma Shannon Turned to Jessika and continued, "Now lets go have you swim a couple of heats. Go to it Girls, You are not getting anywhere just standing there."

"Yes Momma." We dove into the pool. I worked on the breaststroke first, then the butterfly stroke alternating on every fourth lap.

After forty laps Momma Shannon blew Her whistle, calling "That is enough for today. Wednesday We will have a practice meet to see how much We learned this week. It will also give Us a benchmark, to show Us How much We have improved at the end of the season. See You all tomorrow."

We asked "Momma why did You make Us swim laps like that?"

"It was for Your own good, and to make Joe think I was punishing You for taking so long. After all You were gone for sixteen minutes to find a stopwatch. Now go shower; it is almost time for Cheerleader Practice. I will take Joe out to the stadium."

"Okay Momma, and the laps probably worked." We went in showered, Put on Our cheerleading outfits, found Jessika, and headed out to Cheerleading Practice.

We found Joe talking to Miss Capshaw "...Thank You Miss Capshaw." The three of Us expressed "Hi Joe, Now all of The `Sisters' are here."

"What a lucky day, I start off my day having breakfast with three beautiful and Heroic Women and now a Fourth has come across my path."

Jessica said, "`Sis 4' we are going to look HOT tonight, that dress you suggested is great. Momma gave us pearls to wear tonight."

"So did My Mom." Replied Jessika.

Miss Capshaw called "Okay Girls let's get practice started." Practice was fun; Joe took about three rolls of pictures.

After I suggested "Joe why don't you go to Momma's office while we shower."

"Good Idea, How do I get there from here?" He queried.

Miss Capshaw offered "I would be happy to show you I am going to the Administration building now."

"Why Thank You Miss Capshaw, See You There Girls."

We replied "Bye Joe." As we ran towards the gym.

We showered and got back into Our pink halter dresses, Jessika sent, *-`That looks cute, think I will go with the same.'-* We checked to make sure no one was watching.

Then `Sis 4" spun into a matching outfit. "Looking good `Sis 4'" We remarked. We checked our make-up, and headed off to Momma Shannon's Office, arm in arm.

On the way every boy we came across, stopped dead in his tracks. They either stared in amazement, or rendered a whistle. We knocked on the door to Momma Shannon's office, and walked in.

I asked, "Momma is it okay if Jessika joins us for lunch?"

"Sure, so long as She does not mind Mc Donald's. We do not have a lot of time for lunch."

"That is fine Mrs. Yeager. I have to go to The Choraleer Meeting at noon."

We rejoiced "OH MY, YOUR A CHORALEER ALSO, ALRIGHT `SIS 4'!" We hugged and jumped up and down together. After We calmed down We walked out to Our car.

Joe Remarked "With four beautiful Women in the same dress it is getting hard to tell everyone apart with the exception of Erin. Jessika Young looks like Jessica's Twin Sister. If your dress was as short as theirs Mrs. Yeager I would guess that you Three could be mistaken for Triplets."

Jessica replied "Momma and I are mistaken for Sisters, a lot, well in the last year we have been."

At Mc Donald's Joe ordered a Big Mac meal deal, and We ordered Chicken salads, and diet Cokes. As we ate, We joked and laughed a bit.

Joe Inquired "That was a spectacular dive today, You were in perfect synch. How long have you Two practiced that?"

Jessica answered "We just went on the count of three..."

I Continued "...Sometimes things work better for Us when We just do it."

Jessika apologized, "Mrs. Yeager I regret that I was unable to make it to our ten o'clock appointment last Wednesday morning."

"Well it worked out an emergency came up, so don't worry about it." Replied Momma Shannon.

"I was called into work because a lifeguard had quit with no notice. How He could do a thing like that, I don't understand."

I replied "I am sure He had a very good reason"

"Well if I ever Meet Daniel again, I will give Him a piece of My mind."

Jessica asked "So did You know Him Pretty well?"

"Yes I was thinking of going steady with Him until He just disappeared. His Father said He died."

I remarked "So He appealed to You, Must have been quite a Guy?"

"Yes He was, He was so romantic, and He really knew how to kiss. But how could He just quit? When People needed Him out there. He was always talking of how it was more important to serve the people."

Momma Shannon replied "Well I am sure if it was possible for Him to speak to you now He would tell you why. He probably had a personal emergency."

I murmured "Excuse Me, I need to go to the restroom." I Got up and ran to the restroom. Inside I burst into tears.

Momma Shannon came in about a minute later, comforting "Shanon Dear, She does not know. You should have told Her after You found She was A `Sister'. She will understand."

"But Momma, She hates Me as Daniel, because of Shanon. I liked Her a lot, and I really hated giving up My job, letting people down."

"Come on dry those tears kiddo. She will understand, once You fill Her in."

"Okay Momma, I will be out in a moment. Love You." Momma Shannon left I dried My eyes, and put forward a brave front. I returned to the table "Well I guess it is time to head back, don't want to be late for The Choraleer Meeting."

We got to the Choir room just as Mr. Baver was opening the door. Jessica and I greeted "Hi Mr. Baver this is Joe Ishibashi, a reporter for The L.A. Times, Okay if He sits in today? He is doing a story on a day in Our Lives."

Mr. Baver responded "Hi `JUDY' `SEXY', Not a problem Welcome Joe, and I see You have met Jessika. All three of them sang a song from `Pirates of Penzance'. We just may have to put that play on this year."

The rest of The Choraleers arrived over a sixteen-minute period. We introduced ourselves to the others as they arrived. We spent an Hour and a half looking at fabrics and patterns. We picked a Halter Dress, with a slit up the right leg to just above the knee, with a Bolero Jacket. For fabric we chose Royal Blue Silk for the dress, and Metallic silver for the jacket.

Mr. Baver announced "Fabulous choice Ladies, fittings will start tomorrow..."

Jessika, Jessica and I interrupted "Mr. Baver May We make Our own outfits? PLEASE."

"Well Girl's, They must have a professional finish."

"Well we made these outfits, check the finish on them." "We walked over to where He was sitting at the piano.

He replied "Okay lets take a look."

As He tried to look without touching I remarked "Mr. Baver we have tap pants on underneath. Momma would not let Us come to school with only panties on."

He blushed a bit as I lifted my skirt hem up and flipped the reverse side out showing off My pink ruffled tap pants.

"Very nice work. Okay Girl's, but if Your gowns do not pass the Seamstresses inspection You will have to pay for the extra Fabric and seamstress time."

"Do not worry Mr. Baver, We will not let You down!"

"That is all for today, any other Girls that want to make Their own dresses are excused the rest need to come up and sign up for fitting times."

We went back to Momma Shannon's Office. "Hi Momma, We are back."

"Hi Girl's, Joe how are you doing? They drive you crazy yet?"

"No Shannon, But it has been quite an adventure."

"Well I have one appointment left with a certain `Young' Lady. You Girls can either walk home or find something to do elsewhere on campus."

Jessica expressed "Okay Momma, I think We'll walk home and play in the pool for a bit, then relax for a while."

"Good You can do more laps. Bye Joe and good luck with Them."

"Bye Momma, Bye `Sis 4' see You tonight." "Bye `Big and Li'l Sis', See you tonight." We took Joe in tow and walked home. We saw a guy run His car off the road just missing a tree.

Once we got home we took Joe out to the pool offering "Would you care to have some tea or lemonade, while we change?"

"Some lemonade would be fine Thank You." We got Joe some lemonade, and went to the cabana to change. We came out wearing red bikini bottoms, blue bikini tops, with a white star in the center of each breast.

Joe exclaimed "Wow very patriotic!" "Is that a compliment or are you just happy to see us?"

"Both, You Two are very beautiful girls, ah Women."

"Well we have to work on our form. Sorry about this afternoon being so boring." I repented

"Watching You Young Lady's swim is far from being boring, because Your `Forms' are very fine!"

"Now that was a compliment. Thank You Joe." We dove into the pool. I worked on the Breaststroke for twenty minutes. Then the Butterfly stroke for twenty minutes. Jessica and I played around in the pool for about ten minutes after we finished practicing. We got out of the pool; dragged chaise lounges to either side of where Joe was sitting and lay down to dry off. To avoid getting a tan line from Our Halter tops we routed the straps around the side under our arms. We chatted casually for the next forty-five minutes.

Papa John arrived "Hello Princesses, How was Your day? Hi Joe hope you were not too bored today."

Joe answered first "Not at all John. Spending the Day with Your Wife and Daughters was a very interesting experience. Especially the diving exhibition."

"It was nothing Daddy; we just performed a triple Pike in synch with each other. We picked a pattern for Choraleer Outfits today and Found out that Jessika is also a Choraleer, Cheerleader, and on the Swim Team!" We jumped up, hugged and kissed Him Hello.

"I am glad to see that you are both so happy. I think it would be a good idea if You Girls went up and started getting ready now. Your Mom is going to need your help getting ready."

We answered "Okay Daddy, See you in a bit." We went upstairs showered and tried out different hairstyles. We decided to go with loose curls. The amount of curl shortened My Hair to just to the bottom of my derriere. We chose a light pink blush with a pink lipstick for make-up. We then put on our dresses, pearls, and shoes.

"I am ready to go shock Daddy and Joe. Lets go `Li'l Sis'."

"`Big Sis' We will make a bigger impact if We wait for Momma."

"Your right `Li'l Sis', I am just so excited!"

We tried different looks with our dresses. Trying to out do each other in revealing all we could and still be clothed. Jessica and I were as scantily clad as possible when Momma Shannon came in "You Girls can not go out like that. Not to this awards banquet especially, and not any time soon."

"Oh Momma, We were just playing until you came home." We changed our dresses back to the agreed upon form.

"Ah that is perfect. You even picked the right amount of make-up."

"Thank You Momma, after you shower we will do your hair for you. Do you like our hair?"

"Yes Dear's You look wonderful." Momma Shannon showered and when She returned We did Her hair to match Ours.

"Okay Momma, We are all ready to make our entrance."

"Let's do it Girls." When We got downstairs we found Papa John and Mr. Ishibashi dressed in Black Tie.

Jessica and I remarked "Wow You Two Look Great."

As Papa John and Mr. Ishibashi turned to look at us we asked in unison "Well, How do We look?"

Papa John retorted "As If You Had To Ask. It looks like I will have to take a baseball bat to beat off all Your admirers."

Mr. Ishibashi requested "After I take the pictures for the story would you be so kind as to pose for a picture with me?"

Momma Shannon replied "Sure Joe we would be honored to be in a picture with you."

After Mr. Ishibashi took several pictures of Our family, together and individually, Momma Shannon suggested "Now it is Your Turn Joe Sit here in the chair and we will give you a picture Your Friends will envy and Your Girlfriend will hate."

As He Sat down He commented "The `Girlfriend' is the problem I do not have one at this time. I was so attracted to a woman at work that I stopped dating about two years ago. Then when I finally asked Her out I discovered She was married. So I just continued to admire Her from afar. It has been about two weeks since I have seen Her at work. I hope I did not cause Her to be embarrassed and lose face."

As He spoke Momma Shannon had Arranged Us around Joe. Jessica was sitting on the left arm of the chair, Momma Shannon sitting at His Feet, and I was sitting on the right arm of the chair. She remarked "Joe I am certain it is nothing you did. You are to much of a gentleman to have caused Her any embarrassment."

Papa John took three pictures of Us. As he Took the third picture Jessica and I kissed Joe on the cheek. Then Jessica and Momma Shannon switched places. Then Jessica and I switched places as Papa John took three pictures of each pose. As We finished the third pose the doorbell rang.

Jessica and I jumped up "We Got It." It was Roy and Glenn. Both wearing Black Tails, and carrying Royal Blue Orchid corsages. "These are for you." They said holding them out to Us.

We took the offered corsages, responding "Oh They are beautiful, Thank You!" Kissing them passionately. We brought the Corsages, Glenn and Roy into the living room "Momma look what We got!"

"They are beautiful Girls. Here let me pin them on." As Momma Shannon pinned on Our corsages, Papa John went into the kitchen.

He returned with three identical corsages. Papa John remarked "Well now I have two extra, maybe Jessika and Her Mother will need them." We were pinning Momma Shannon's on Her when the doorbell rang. Papa John answered the door, He informed Us "The Limo is here, time to go over to The Young's."

We piled into the limo and Momma Shannon gave directions to the Driver. As we traveled to The Young's, We chatted casually.

Russ arrived at the Young's as we got out of the limo, Papa John Called "Hello Russ I noticed you do not have a corsage for Jessika. I happen to have two, that could make a very good impression."

"Thank You Mr. Yeager, Wow! Mrs. Yeager, You Look Great!"

"Thank You Russ." Roy took the corsages and we followed Him to the door.

Jessika opened the door, saw the corsage and remarked "Oh Russ It is Beautiful, Thank You." She kissed Him lustfully.

`Li'l Sis' and I Interrupted "Hi `Sis 4'"

"Hi `Big and `Li'l Sis', Mr. and Mrs. Yeager, Mr. Ishibashi, Roy, Glenn, come in Momma Is almost ready. We have some hors d'oeuvres Momma should be down in a moment. Mr. Ishibashi Momma says She knows you from work."

As we nibbled on the hors d'oeuvres, Momma Shannon pinned a corsage on Jessika. Joe noticed "Looks Like the four of You planned on looking alike tonight, and if I have the `Theme' figured out I believe Mrs. Young will come down wearing the same dress."

At that moment Mrs. Young appeared at the top of the stairs in the same dress. She was a stunning brunette, with green eyes, She greeted "Hello Everyone, Welcome to Our Home. Good too see you again Joe."

As She descended Joe stood there stunned, Russ offered "Here is a corsage for You Ms Young."

"Thank You Russ it is Beautiful. You are as thoughtful as ever."

Mr. Ishibashi stammered "Susan... Susan Conners, When did You change Your name to Young? How have you been? I thought you had left the Times."

Ms Young answered "Well Joe, I went back to My Maiden Name when `Mr. Conners' deserted Us for His new `lifestyle'. I had to take a couple of weeks off to find a new house of our own and get us settled. But it is back to work tonight I have to cover the Fashion side of the Awards Presentation tonight. Joe I still remember when you asked me out, how you blushed. How Bad I felt when I had to turn you down because I was Married. So Joe Will you be My date Tonight? Now that I am a free Woman?"

"It Would be a great Honor to be Your date tonight. I humbly offer all My support to You and Your daughter during Your time of tribulation. May you be so kind as to consider Going out with me, when you feel amicable to having another relationship."

"Oh Joe you are so sweet, How about tomorrow night. I would have gone out with You last year but I could not take Myself to the same level as My Ex-husband. I still loved him and cared about Our marriage. He helped Me get over that quickly when He brought Home His new Boyfriend/lover three weeks ago and said They were moving in together."

Momma Shannon remarked "Susan if You need To talk call Me. I may be able to help. So do You work as a reporter also?"

"I am The Fashion Editor/reporter. I also do High School Sports."

"Well Your High School sports reporting will be more exciting with the Addition of these Three to Our Swim Team. They may even be good fashion stories as well as they dress."

We conversed for about a half an hour when Papa John announced "Ladies And Gentlemen it is time for us to leave."

We left for the Awards Banquet, enjoying more pleasant conversation on the way. We arrived thirty minutes prior to the commencement of the Awards Banquet.

We exited the limo, Lights for the TV cameras came on and the flashes on the cameras were strobe like. "Here are the first People to arrive, It is the Yeager's, and Jessika Young the young women who saved over twenty people this past weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Yeager how do you feel about what your daughters have accomplished?"

Momma Shannon and Ms Young answered together "We are very proud of Our Daughters, and hope that they will continue to care for people in the same manner." We walked into the Pavilion. We were led to a table for twelve just in front of the stage to the right of the podium. We sat down leaving the two seats closest to the stage vacant. Waiters came took away the two extra chairs.

One asked, "What would you like to drink? We have wine, coffee, milk, tea, juices, and Coke products."

`Li'l Sis', `Sis 4' and I responded "Tab please."

Russ, Roy and Glenn took turns each asking for milk.

Papa John and Mr. Ishibashi, ordered white wine for the adults. We were then given a choice of entrees, roast beef, chicken Parmesan, and grilled swordfish. We all picked swordfish. During dinner they showed footage of each of the awardees. Starting with two guys pulling people out of a burning building. Interviews with the people We saved, and the interview with the Taco Bell Manager.

As We finished our dinner, the MC Announced "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight We are here to Honor 6 Young People for their heroic deeds. I am proud to introduce the Governor of the State of California, Jerry Orange."

Governor Orange stepped up to the podium "Good Evening, It is a great pleasure to be here tonight. To Honor these Young People, Our first awardees are two Brother's, Robert and Tomas Mendoza," Two young Men were escorted up to the podium. Governor Orange continued "Robert and Tomas rescued ten people from a burning building. For showing great valor and risking your own safety to help those in need. It is with great pleasure that The State of California awards Robert and Tomas Mendoza the State Medal Of Valor." A uniformed Officer placed Medal's over each of the boys. The Governor shook their hands and offered "Is the anything you wish to say?"

Robert stepped up to the podium "We praise God that He kept us Safe and gave us the courage to help those People." They turned from the podium as the returned to their seats They received an ovation. Four police officers had positioned themselves behind our chairs. Momma Shannon, Jessika, Jessica and I.

Governor Orange continued "Our next awardees are Four Young Women. Who braved strong riptides to save eight Young Men one day. Then twenty victims of a ship wreck the next. Two of them are responsible for stopping an armed robbery at a local Taco Bell." Jessika, Jessica, and I accepted the escort to the stage. Momma Shannon stayed in Her seat.

She had been protesting "I did not do anything to deserve this."

The governor inquired "Who do We have Up here and Where is the fourth Young Lady?"

We answered "We are Jessika Young, And the Yeager Sister's Shanon, and Jessica. Shannon Yeager is still sitting She does not feel as if She earned an award."

Then Jessica and I implored "Momma Please come up. Your guidance is what made Us do what We did. You were there to help save those eight boys."

When we finished Governor Orange remarked "Truly amazing, how you feel about Your Mother. Mrs. Yeager please come on up and join Your daughters."

Momma Shannon relented and joined us on the stage. We were presented Our Medals of Valor. The Governor kissed our hands, and remarked "The podium is yours if you wish to say anything Ladies.

Jessika went first "I am thankful that the Lord gave Me the gifts necessary to serve the people. I live by My Mother's example. Thank You Momma."

Jessica and I stepped Up "The lord has led us to where we have been needed and Our Mother has instilled in us the values to help our fellow Man." Momma Shannon blushed, and waved as we returned to our table the applause was tremendous.

A Woman wearing a dress that was almost the same as ours attacked me.
