Chapter 6 – Chaos
"Flora! Flora, will you hurry up in there!"
"I have school today, unlike some people, little brother!"
"Flora, please! I'm bursting!"
"You'll have to wait! Sorry Emmy!"
"Flora, I swear to god, if you've been in there that long doing your make-up-"
"That's none of your concern!"
And it went on like that for about an hour as Emmy, Emmeline, the two professors and Alfendi waited not-so-patiently for the bathroom.
Hershel frowned at the spectacle before him. "What's in there that's so fascinating?" he asked, smiling.
"Er... the toilet?" Alfendi snarled. He clenched his hands tightly over his crotch as he waited, hopping from one leg to the other. "Flora, I'll break that door down in a minute!"
They heard a snap and the door was unlocked. Flora emerged, fresh as a daisy, with a big grin on her face. As soon as the door opened, Hershel dashed in and locked it again.
The long line of grumbling people outside the bathroom groaned and yelled at Hershel.
"Some gentleman you'll turn out to be!" Emmeline scolded.
"AAARGHH!" Alfendi roared. "I WAS MEANT TO BE NEXT!"
"Hershel! There's no more milk!"
"What am I going to do about it? All my money is back in my wallet about twenty-three years ago," Hershel replied, looking confused.
"Huh? Sorry, not you, dear, my Hershel," Emmy said.
"Professor, there's no bread, or cereal, or anything remotely breakfastable in that kitchen," Flora declared.
"Er... I really don't think 'breakfastable' is an actual word, dear," the professor frowned.
Just then, they heard a roar from upstairs.
"WHO USED THE LAST OF THE TOILET PAPER?!"
Flora grimaced. "I knew you all shouldn't have jumped him in the queue."
The professor sighed heavily, handing Flora some money. "Go and get some toilet paper for Alfendi, please."
"And some milk!" Emmy called.
"And bread, lots of bread, I want toast," Emmeline smiled.
Flora frowned. "What was the first thing again?"
The professor sighed heavily. Emmy caught his eye and grinned.
"Oh, the joys of having so many people in the house."
