Hyperness In Venice.
A.N: OK, We're going to Venice to still some stuff, among other things. BTW (I can't believe I just said that) I'm going to be doing a mix of the books and movie. Like the characters look like they do in the movie not the book.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Thief Lord or Venice. (I would like to own Aaron Johnson and Rollo Weeks but it's not going to happen)
Chapter 1: Meeting the Thief Lord.
The three girls looked around for their next victim. They were a strange sight to see. Two brown haired girls, and a blonde girl, all holding two suitcases each. One of the brown haired girls was carrying the most. The blonde turned to her and asked, "Rose, why did you have to pack so much?"
Rose sighed. "Well Lily, my fine friend, I knew we were not going to go back, and the Doctor wouldn't give us a lift, so I had to pack the essentials. In the two that I'm carrying are all my clothes and sleeping things. In the one you are carrying are all my books, CDs, DVDs and tapes, and the one Susan is carrying are all my cuddle toys. Also, in my shoulder bag is my make-up, washing stuff, my laptop and other bits and bobs."
"OK, I get that. But what I don't get is why you had to bring you're tacky pink saxophone, or why your suitcases are also pink, which, might I point out, make us very noticeable."
Rose was going to retort, but Susan nudged her and pointed to a brown haired boy, with a blue jumper. "What about him?"
Rose nodded in agreement and started to walk towards him when Lily grabbed her wrist and said, "Where do you think you're going?"
"To go pick-pocket him of course."
Lily shook her head "You're staying right here with all the luggage"
"Why do I have to stay with the luggage all the time"
Lily sighed in disbelief, "Because it is mainly your luggage!"
"Oooooh pleeeeease? Just this once." Rose had put on the puppy dog eyes. Lily hated the puppy dog eyes.
"FINE! Just this once, but if we get caught, I'm blaming you."
Rose jumped up and down with joy, but immediately stopped when she saw the look Lily gave her. When Rose had calmed herself down, she started to walk towards the victim, again. When she reached him, she causally bumped into him and was about to put her hand into his pocket, when the boy grabbed it.
"I'm sorry to say that that is the oldest trick in the book." Said the boy in his honeyed voice. Rose looked at him. She thought she recognized him, then it dawned on her, "SCIPIO!" she shouted.
"How do you know my name?" The boy asked.
"It's me, Rose"
"I haven't seen you for ages! What are doing here? Why are you so dirty? And where are Lily and Susan?" Scipio asked.
Rose decided to explain everything. How her, Lily and Susan's parents all died in a car crash. And how, seeing as they already had tickets, they decided to come to Venice. Then how they spent all the money they had with them and had no way to take anymore out, so they had to roam the streets with their belongings, pick-pocketing and busking.
"…And that's Lily and Susan over there." Rose finished pointing at her two friends. Scipio just stared at Rose for a while then said, "Why don't you come over to my place for a while, get washed up, put some clean clothes on and clean those ones off. Then we can go to my hideout, where people like you are staying."
Rose thought about it and nodded. "Wait! What about your dad?"
"He's out at the moment, but I'm sure he won't mind seeing you again, he use to love you" Rose smiled, and started to walk towards Lily and Susan to tell them the good news, Scipio following right behind her.
When Rose and Scipio reached her friends, Lily started to rant,
"Rose, when you pick-pocket someone you don't normally bring them back to meet your mates. You don't go "Oh no you caught me, hey why don't you come over to meet my fr-"… Scipio?"
"Hi Lily, how are you?" Scipio spoke shyly.
"Yeah I'm fine. Wow I don't recognize. You've grown so much since the last time I saw you. I mean you're hot. I'm not saying you weren't hot before, it's just now you're ho-"
"LILY! You're rambling," Rose interrupted.
"Am I?"
"Yes you are, so just shut up before you really embarrass yourself. Anyway Scip has invited us to his house for a bit so we can get freshened up and whatnot. And I think it would be a really good idea. We can also see Dottore Massimo." Rose said happily. Scipio looked at Rose as though she was crazy. He would never be happy to see his dad. Mind you he thought he had always liked her more then me.
"Hey Scip, could you do me a favour and carry my saxophone for me?." Rose asked.
"Sure, why did you pack so much anyway?"
"Don't ask. Trust me, it's better if you didn't know." Susan warned him.
Scipio nodded. "Do know Rose, it doesn't matter."
Well I liked it. Please review, I've been getting lodes of ghost readers and makes me think that I shouldn't write anymore.
