Chapter 2

Eh...I dont know what happened. but half the words went missing ... Sorry :P

This can become a disaster.

Rose is my best friend. But sometimes, she can be so infuriating that I wonder why.

She grinned goofily at me.

" . Dimi. Dim. Dim light. Light house. House hose. Hosewater…water hose! Hey water hose! Nice to meet you"

See? Told you.

"Rose, come let's take you home"

"no" she said dipping her finger in the ice bowl on the table.

She stood up swaying with the ice bowl on her head.

"I am a little teapot short and stout.

Pick me up and pour me out.

I smile like a lady

Drink like a man

Slap like a bumblebee

And blow like a fan"

Umm…

Guys wolf-whistled at her.

I rolled my eyes looking around for an escape route.

Suddenly Rose started crying.

I stood up startled.

"what happened?" I asked

"the bowl. Its broken" she said sobbing

"no its not" I said eyeing the bowl on her head.

She dropped it.

"see? Its broken" she said

Oh God.

"Rose come on lets go" I said

"no….we can go only if you dance "call me maybe" with me"

I groaned imagine myself dancing for that song.

She ran away to the dressing room. I can't enter there. Atleast let me get myself something to eat.

When I was digging into Chinese food, I heard a commotion.

Some girl was wearing a dress like a stripped zebra and was dancing around singing for "As long as you love me"

And that some girl was Rose.

"Rose! Come back here" I said grabbing her arm

"no no, naughty naughty" she said still dancing and wagging her finger at me.

I threw her over my shoulder and walked away to the car.

She screamed in my ear making me drop her.

She saw a cosmetics store and ran in.

"Rose!" I said running after her.

She giggled and hid behind a guy.

He grinned stepping aside when he saw me coming.

"Drunk huh?" he asked

"yup" I said nodding.

She dragged the guy to the lipstick containers so fast, that he shouted startled.

" here. I am your mom. You are my daughter. I am going to put lipstick on you" she said giggling.

"Rose.." I started.

She grabbed a lipstick , opened it and applied it on the guy.

I facepalmed.

"Hey water hose! How does my daughter look?" she said to someone.

I rubbed my eyes tired.

"Water hose! Look at me!" she said

I looked up wondering who she was calling with that ridiculous name.

Me.

Oh well, now I am hose.

Great

"Uh….he looks fine " I said looking as the guy tried to rub lipstick off his forehead.

"Good doggy" she said to me.

Then she grabbed my arm dragging me to the car.

"Come doggy, lets sing twinkle twinkle little star"

I groaned internally.

"Twinkle twinkle little star

The London bridge fell down

The stupid girl ate curd

And the spider went up again" she sang.

I resisted the urge to cover my ears.

"Rose. Stop singing and sit tight" I said

"Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" she sang.

"Rose" I warned.

"Rose, how can you get so drunk?"

"I am drunk?"

"yes"

"no, I am not."

"yes you are"
"no I am not"

"yes you are"

"ok fine"

"good"

She suddenly opened her door. I quickly stopped the car.

"Rose have you gone bonkers? Don't open the door when I am driving" I scolded

She didn't listen to me and climbed out of the car sitting down.

"Rose! What are you doing?"

She looked at me calmly.

"What do you think I am doing?"

"You are sitting "

"see? You got it. Intellistic mouse"

"Sorry what?"

"Intellistic"

"do you mean intelligent?"
"yes" she snapped. "that's what I said. You should go check your ears squirrel"

I sighed and dragged her back into the car.

"stop it kitty. You are a naughty kitty." She scolded.

Loverly.

I got promotion from a dog to a kitten.

"ummm…" I said

"good pony."

"am I not a kitten?"

"no you are a bear"

"but you just told I was a pony"

"no. I told you are a squirrel"
"Squirrel?"

"oh shut up, mouse"

"oh" I said shutting up

After sometime though, she got bored.

"aren't you going to ask who I am?" she asked impatiently

"I already know who you are" I said

"no you don't. I am Percy Jackson"

"oh? Please show me your water powers" I said

She hummphed and didn't reply.

We reached her house without any disasters.

"Rose, where is the key?" I asked

"inside my purse"

"where is your purse?"

"with me"

"Rose…"

"you are a spoilsport,waterhose" she said

Now, we were back to water hose again.

I went back to the car searching for her purse.

Suddenly a spurt of cold water hit me.

I turned around swiftly.

"fly water fly" she said waving a water hose with the water coming out full force.

How she thought water could fly was beyond me.

"Rose where is your purse" I asked

She looked away from the sprinking water and pointed the hose at the car.

"thwar" she said in a child voice.

Well she pointed the hose at the car but I was in front of it so I was the one who got soaked.

"Rose!" I said jumping aside with a shout.

"I told you I was Percy Jackson"

She giggled chasing me with the hose.

I finally gave up . This was going to happen now or later. I stopped running and let her spray water on me.

Suddenly she grabbed me.

"shh…" she said

"what?" I asked whispering.

"He is here. He will scold me if he sees I am drunk" she said

"who is here?" I asked in my normal voice.

"Shh.." she said hitting me on my head.

"who is here Rose?" I asked quietly

"Comrade" she said still looking around.

I rolled my eyes walking to the car.

I grabbed her purse walking to the door.

I opened the door and walked inside switching the lights on.

"now listen Rose. You are going to go sleep like a good girl now" I said as I switched on the bedroom light and turned around to see…

Nothing.

Rose wasn't following me as I thought she was.

"Rose!" I shouted panicking running out of the house.

She wasn't there.

I looked around wondering where she was.

I ran around the street calling her name.

She didn't reply. Either she wasn't there or she thinks her name is Gold or Silver or Platinum or something like that.

I walked back to her house going into the backyard.

She was sitting there cross-legged her face looking above , her hand tracing lines in the air.

I walked to her.

"what are you doing here Rose?" I said

She turned around. "The stars...they are beautiful" she sighed and hugged her knees.

I stared at her and went to sit next to her.

"Rose, I need to go home"

"well go then" she said still staring at the stars.
"I am not going until you are in your bed, asleep."

"huh" was all the reply she said

She stared at the stars and the place quietened.

Soon her eyes closed and she leaned on my shoulder.

I gently picked her up and tucked her in her bed.

When I was about to turn and leave, a hand grabbed mine tugging me towards the bed.

I couldn't help chuckling and I got into the bed pulling her close.

The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was the small smile on her lips.

Thanks for your lovely reviews. And please review for this too :D
