The Two Additions
Chapter 3: Month 8
Alice and Lily sat beside each other on the couch. It was girls' night at the flat, and that meant chick flicks, manicures, pop songs the guys couldn't stand, chatting and gossiping, and whatever strange food combinations the two women had cravings for that day. So tonight's food was salt and vinegar chips smothered in peanut butter, and vanilla ice cream topped with pickles.
At this particular moment, Alice and Lily were having an argument of sorts.
"My feet are puffy and sore."
"My back aches."
"I have bright blue veins in my legs."
"I can't even see my legs."
"I can't sleep."
"I can't stop eating."
"When I sit down on the floor, I can't get up again."
Lily's eyebrows knit together a bit. "Okay, all of that definitely trumps anything I have to say. You win today, Alice."
There was silence.
"Video or nail polish?" asked Alice.
"Video," Lily said in answer.
Alice then tried to get up off the couch. And tried again. And again. Lily grabbed Alice's hand and tried to kind of shove her off the couch, but was in the same situation herself. Neither woman could force herself off the couch.
Alice and Lily looked at each other.
"Well, this sucks."
.:. :.: .:.
James and Frank walked in the door of the flat after a boring night at work. Nothing particularly interesting had happened, and they were no closer to finding any of the Death Eaters they were currently searching for.
And so the two men burst out laughing at the sight of their wives both unable to get up off the couch.
"After you help us get up," said Alice threateningly.
"You're dead, dead, dead," Lily finished.
A/N: I based the first part of this on Baby Blues. Great comic. I recommend it for those who really need a good laugh.
Please review!
