A.N. Inspiration,from myself.

set after Lloyd remembers his name but before the events of Dual Breakout

Sick Day

Lloyd Montgomery, or as he was still legally known Liam Montgomery-Inconscient, wasn't that ill. He had been worse yesterday evening when his throat had hurt,his nose was snotty and he'd had a slight cough. Now,thanks to the medication Rick had given him Lloyd was fine, well,better at least.

But that didn't change the fact that he was home alone, confined to the apartment but with movies,television shows and his phone to keep him entertained for the day.

Rick and Bob were out of town on a training course, but Rick had been very caring in a parent like way last night. He'd made Lloyd a hot lemon and honey drink to help Lloyd's sore throat and it had worked. Rick had organised everything with Lloyd,giving him instructions on how often to take the medication to help his blocked nose,showing him how the DVD player worked and how to set it up,and making sure he was sorted for lunch.

But the biggest surprise Lloyd had from Rick,whose parental instincts seemed to be in full swing, was found in the bathroom. Lloyd had just been to the toilet and was obviously washing his hands when something in the mirror caught his eye. On the side of the bath,next to the wall (A.N. I'm basing this off of my own bath, and most baths in general, shorter sides are at the walls, as well as one side being next to the wall,and you can put stuff like shampoo and conditioner and body wash on the sides of the bath,this object is located amongst the shampoo and conditioner section ) was a box that Rick had stuck a sticky note on.

Lloyd,being curious and also deciding that this was far more interesting than inspecting his crimson eyes in the mirror, dryed his hands with the hand towel, leaned over the bath,picking the box up.

'Thought you could use some more,your hair is looking a bit too blond.Rick.x'The kiss at the end seemed to be a hesitant afterthought but it made Lloyd smile. Rick had bought him some green hair dye! He couldn't be happier, especially since Rick had made him get a haircut a few days ago,resulting in only the very tips of his hair being green.

(A.N. If I'm correct you apply hair dye,then it needs to dry...obviously, but I'm not sure about dip dying like Lloyd's. So I'm going to say that Lloyd changed into all black and used a black towel to protect the sofa he sits on whilst waiting for his hair to dry.)

After re dying his hair,Lloyd sat down a watched a film,Rick had never watched it as it had still been in plastic protective wrapping when Lloyd picked it up. However, after watching a few minutes of it Lloyd felt the animation was a bit bad,so he paused the film and researched it on his phone,which had amazing internet access. When Lloyd found that the film was not only a Disney film (that surprised him a bit),but also a Stephen Spielberg film,and one of Mel Blanc's last appearances before his death,which was even more confusing, this was a Disney film,although the Disney logo not appearing before the title gave him doubts, so Why was the Man of 1000 voices, a Loony Toons star (the loony toons being Warner Bros. not Disney ) in a Disney film that didn't have the company logo before the film started?

Curious, Lloyd grabbed himself a snack and settled down to watch the film. Despite being quite an old film,with a very odd universe,set in a place called Hollywood that Lloyd had only slightly heard of,but seems to be a big part of the film making industry. The film had many funny moments,shocking reveals, and such a cliché plot that Lloyd had already figured out who was responsible for the main protagonists brothers death halfway through the film,but the big reveal still surprised Lloyd,he wasn't sure why he'd expected the villain to hire someone rather than do the dirty work themselves, but Lloyd supposed that was the way the big reveal was surprising.

In the end credits Lloyd payed attention,sure enough only non Disney characters were part of the 'this character is used with permission from it's own studio' part,so it was a Disney film. It was also based on a novel. The film as a whole left Lloyd with more questions about the universe it was set in than he'd had at the very start. But the difference in the title of the novel and movie made him realise he probably wasn't going to get any answers from the book. So Lloyd did the only thing he saw logical, (and as a way to pass the time he had) he watched the film again,this time focusing on trying to understand the plot and univserse as a whole.

It was fun,especially when he spotted characters or jokes that he hadn't the first time around.

When Rick got home from his training course, which was later than he'd expected, he was stunned by the sight of Lloyd Montgomery a.k.a. Power, 'Fearsome' leader of the Gang of Masks, fast asleep on the sofa, with a film still playing on the t.v..

Rick smiled to himself, Lloyd had found and used the hair dye he'd left for him. And then watched a film,apparently on repeat judging by the note pad on the teens lap. Rick paused the film and quietly and carefully removed the note pad from Lloyd's hand.

Rick gave a quiet snicker, the kid had been taking notes on the film,had created a time line of events that most likely hadn't been shown in order,possibly only mentioned in the film. There was the odd quote here and there. Lloyd had clearly been at it for a while, because the notes took up quite a few pages of the A4 pad. Lloyd seemed to have also used the internet for information, things like title is a question, but no question mark because of superstition in the movie industry and Is a Disney film,but isn't labled as Disney because it's made by a branch of the company that was created so Disney could make adult and teen movies without damaging the family friendly name of the company proved that.

Looking through the notes,Rick worried that Lloyd had picked uo some of his Police skills,but then one note caught his eye,it had been underlined a few times to make it unmissable. The Question in the title is never actually answered properlyand then under that,in slightly smaller writing, big disappointment, can't make a joke reply to someone mentioning it in conversation.

Rick smiled at that, Lloyd was still a kid,the kind who would answer with the answer to the question that is a title of a film whenever someone mentioned it to him.

Lloyd looked comfortable sleeping where he was,so Rick went and got a pillow and blanket for him,then covered the red eyed teenager he'd adopted and went off to bed.

A.N.I'm having a sick day today, not unlike Lloyd's. Heck I may even watch the film later.There will be update on my main stories after Christmas, but a hiny of what's to come in the next BITTW vol.2 chapter, Lloyd meets Rick's favourite cousin Barbara (Barbie)... oo and I'm putting in an LGBT character!Oh,and I don't own Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the film Lloyd was watching,it's a good film,I highly recommend it. And all of the facts about it were also true.
