A Bed Time Story
Part 1
Catrina watched her mother and father walk out the door. They had worried looks on their faces but were trying not to let it show. She was five, not dumb. They had kissed her good night and left her with their best friends in the world whom she called Uncle Gerald and Aunt Phobee. She loved when she came over because she got to sleep in Andrea's room with her.
"Girl's time to put on your pjs and get ready for bed"Aunt Phobee came around the corner with her husband Gerald. They smiled lovingly at each other as they watched their daughter and niece scamper up the stairs to Andrea's room.
"I hope Arnold and Helga will be alright"Phobee said worriedly.
"They will love, it could be a simple case of mistaken idenity"Gerald sighed softly and kissed his wife's forehead as they went up the stairs to tell their daughter and niece a bedtime story. They entered the room to find the girl's dressed and ready for bed, and were already under the blanket waiting for their story that would lift them off into their dream world.
Phobee sat in the chair beside the bed while Gerald sat at the edge. "What story shall we hear tonight?"
"Oh Auntie, how about the story about my parents. The one where they fall in love."
"Yeah mommy, that one." Andrea smiled widely.
Phobee looked at Gerald. "Well honey its been such a while since we told it."
"Its only been a month"Gerald chuckled lovingly at his wife and knew she couldn't resist.
"Okay, okay, settle in." The girls got quiet as Phobee began.
--*Flashback*--
Arnold had just walked in the college dorm room, and Gerald was sitting playing Play station. He was so busy he barely noticed Arnold until he joined him on the floor. He was quiet for a minute but then burst out in a joyous cry. "Me and Lila might be hookin up!"cried Arnold. "You are the man"Gerald laughed.
"Yeah were suppose to be going to the dinner after the movies tonight, and I was thinking that maybe you and Phobee would like to double date"Arnold ran his hand through his hair.
"Sure just let me call here. Man o man this is great." Gerald went over to call Phobee on the phone while Arnold stood pacing the room. When Gerald was finished on the phone he told Arnold the good news about Phobee meeting them at the movie theater.
A knock came on their door and Arnold almost jumped out of his skin. "Are you gonna answer that?"Gerald asked grinning at how nervous his best friend was.
"Ah yeah. I should get that huh?"Arnold ran his hand through his hair one more time before opening the door. Lila stood their looking stunning in a blue shirt and black mini skirt. Her blue eyes bewitched Arnold, and at that moment he didn't care.
"Arnold"Lila tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He snapped from it and sighed at her beauty. "I thought you'd fallen asleep or something."
He shook his head. "Ah no, I was just thinking about how beautiful you looked."
She blushed slightly. "Oh Arnold."
"I'm just telling the truth Lila, you look absolutely beautiful." Arnold smiled. Gerald thought on the other hand that he was going to puke so he interrupted.
"Are you guys ready?" He asked grabing his leather coat.
"Oh your going to?"Lila asked slightly annoyed at not having Arnold to her self tonight.
"Yeah Phobee is comin to, so Arnold will be all yours tonight"Gerald said as if reading her mind which made her smile brighten even more within the last twenty minutes.
--*End of Flashback*--
Phobee stopped because she saw the five year old were trying to fight the sleep that was over taking them. "Go to sleep little ones"she smiled.
"But I don't want to know what happens"Andrea yawned sleepily to her mother.
"I will tell you the rest tommorow night"Gerald kissed each of their forhead.
"Promise"Catrina whispered sleepily.
"Yes we promise"Phobee whispered back to her, slipping quietly out of the room. The couple left the children to dream their playful dreams as they went to wait for a phone call fom Arnold and Helga.
