Mike Gets Drawn Together

chapter 3: Clara's Dirty Little Secret

One normal evening in the Drawn Togther house, Mike was with Ling-Ling looking for snacks together. Mike kept her hair in the ponytail like she said she was going to do from now on. 

"Ugh, why dirty dishes always in sink?" Ling-Ling growled at the display in the kitchen.

"Man, these are really gross!" Mike cringed. "Ling-Ling and I aren't your maids, people!" she decided to do up the dishes, then looked over her shoulder to see all the attention in the living room was on Princess Clara tonight for some reason. Mike then went over and saw Toot was mad that the boys were drooling over the princess. "What's going on?"

Toot scoffed with her arms folded. "Clara's talkin' 'bout gettin' Foxxy's tongue in the hot tub."

"Again?" Mike glared at Spanky and Captain Hero while Xandir braided the princess's hair.

"When suddenly, she grabbed me, and forced my soaking wet body up against hers..." Clara narrated with a dreamy look in her eye. "I shudder with desire as my eager young body melted into hers..."

"We're outta here." Mike went off with Toot to the girl's bedroom.

Toot slammed the door shut after Mike went ahead of her. "Dammit, Clara's pissing me off more than sour cream!"

"Mama Foxxy..." Mike tried to get her adoptive mother's attention as the woman had headphones on. "Mama Foxxy!"

"I mean, Clara won't shut up about that stupid kiss!" Toot continued to rant. "I mean, who cares, right?"

Foxxy still didn't answer and was in the flow of the music she was listening to.

"Hey, stop listening to that crappy hip hop music, I'm talkin' to you!" Toot snatched the headphones off.

"Music?" Foxxy scoffed, then took out a CD cover. "Girl, that's a book on tape... 'Clara's Story: How I Kissed a Black Girl, as read by Droopy Dog'."

Toot blinked, then took a listen.

"Mike, have you decided if you're a lesbian yet?" Foxxy asked her daughter.

"I don't know..." Mike sighed. "I never really kissed any girl besides Marie Kanker back in Peach Creek. Does a kiss really make it official?"

"It usually does, hon," Foxxy ruffled up her hair. "You usually feel something with a good kiss, it's usually a tingly feeling that could either mean you really love the person back... Either that or you got a pain in the butt yeast infection."

"I'm gonna have to talk to Clara about this," Toot growled, removing her headphones, then stormed off. "I'll downsize her and then everyone in this house will love me!" she slammed the door again.

"Period?" Mike looked over to her adoptive mother.

Foxxy shrugged. "Anyway, you'll know when the feeling comes... If you wanna be a lesbian, I'll be happy either way, Foxxy don't judge, especially family... Your granddaddy will be here any minute to come meet ya..."

"Didn't he 'go out for a pack of cigarettes'?" Mike used airquotes.

"Uh-huh, but give him time, he'll be here." Foxxy smiled reassuringly.

Mike sighed, feeling that Foxxy's father was never coming back, but she couldn't tell her new mother that. It might crush her. "Mama Foxxy, I'm not sure..."

"You can always experiment, dear, when we get you to college, there'll be plenty of time for that." Foxxy smiled fondly, being a good mother and kissed her daughter's forehead. "It's late, why don't you get some sleep? I'll brush your hair."
