Rose's POV

It was about two weeks after Freddy and Nancy's wedding. Throwing Neil in the dumpster was only part one of Maggie and me's wedding gift to them. Part two was the karaoke machine. Nobody really went into that community center anymore so we were sure people wouldn't mind if we took the thing. There was only one problem. How would we get the damn thing to fit in the plane?

Maggie was scanning the machine up and down. "We're probably gonna have to take this fucking thing apart and store it in some box," she concluded.

I started to laugh at her sarcastically. "Good luck with that," I said.

Toshio came into the discussion. "I know how to take karaoke machines apart and put them back together," he said. "The problem's going to be finding a box big enough to store it in."

"Oh that's just great," I said sarcastically. "I though that would be the least of out problems."

"Look at this thing Rose," Toshio said, raising his voice. "This thing is fucking huge! You thought finding a box that big would be the least of our problems?"

"Stop arguing you two," Maggie said. "There's lots of boxes in the storage room. Let's look in there."

Toshio and I nodded in agreement and we all three headed into the storage room. The place was extremely dark. None of us could see in there. Not even Toshio, and Toshio could see greatly in the dark.

We kept stumbling around in the dark and cramped room for at least a half hour before Maggie found a box big enough for that damn karaoke machine. "I think I found one," she called. Toshio and I sighed in relief.

It was now Toshio's turn to play his part. Toshio took apart the karaoke machine in about forty-five minutes. Afterwards he stored it in the box as neatly as he could. After that told us he'd come back with us to Cincinnati to help us put it back together.

Maggie changed the subject to something I thought was uncomfortable. "How do you think Freddy and Nancy are doing on their honeymoon?"

I shivered at the thought. I had seen enough romance movies to know what goes on in honeymoons. And just to think about what toes two were doing now in Honolulu; I nearly vomited at the thought of all of it. All I did was say, "I don't want to know, Maggie."

Maggie rolled her eyes at me. "Oh, it's not that bad Rose. You'd think that somebody your age would find that sweet."

"Yeah, but to think about my parents getting it on in some place in Honolulu is just to much for me."

Maggie only sighed at me. "Think what you want, but it's a beautiful thing."

I only laughed sarcastically again. "I have my own limit of 'beautiful' and that is way above my limit."

Maggie changed the subject on me. "You do realize that Monday you need to go back to school, right?"

I nodded at Maggie.

"I'll take you back home tomorrow and I'll take care of you until Freddy and Nancy come home. We won't talk about what you think is happening with their honeymoon."

I nodded at Rose and said, "Okay."

"So what do you want to do until then?" Toshio asked.

"Do you want to back to your place and hang out for a while?" I asked.

Toshio smiled at me and nodded. "That would be nice."

We all went back to Toshio's place and started talking about random things. How work was going for Maggie, how Freddy and Nancy were getting along before the wedding, and how Toshio was holding up ever since his mother Kayako's death in Niota. Toshio didn't want to talk about that however, and we skipped the subject. We then went back to Cincinnati the next day, set up the karaoke machine, and waited for Freddy and Nancy to come back from their honeymoon.
