"we could go and bug the guy trying to re-build the pyramid of cans" Todd asked a he and Emily wandered about the store,
to there disappointment by the time they'd got to were the free pixie sticks were meant to be there were only a few empty packets scattered on the floor and the sales clerk who had been charged with handing out only one sample per customer, curled up into a foetal position on the floor, gibbering about stampeding children
So having nothing better to do they had covered the clerk in discount slickers they'd pilfered earlier, and were now wandering round trying to think of some thing else to do
"No, we kinda caused it to fall over in the first place, going back to the scene of the crime might be pushing our luck" Emily replied
"I thought that man crashing his trolley into it caused it to fall over" said Todd
Emily shook her head "yes, but he wouldn't of crashed if you hadn't dropped that banana skin on the floor which he slipped on"
"and people say things like that only happen in cartoons" Todd shrugged
"Maybe we should just go find Jason" suggested Emily,
This time Todd shook his head "no it's to early, I don't want to have to go back to the house for at least another few hours"
"I still cant believe Raven makes you clean the whole house"
"yer but like I said only when she doesn't get any coffee in the mornings, and if you get a good job its not that bad " said Todd
"ok for future reference, what classifies a good job" Emily asked
Todd thought for a few seconds before replying " well, having to tidy up the TV room, or cleaning up the hallways are fairly easy jobs and I guess doing things like the washing up and cleaning the kitchen aren't too bad unless theses been a food fight"
"ok that dosent sound too bad actualy ," said Emily " so what's the worst job that she makes you do"
"oh that's easy" said Todd "its having to do the……."
"LAUNDRY!"
"I cant believe she's making me do the laundry" John wined as he walked up the stairs to the girls floor with an empty washing basket
"oh shut it John" shouted Tabitha from where she was waiting at the top of the stairs "it's not like your having to do this by your self"
John just pouted as he got to the top of the stairs
"Hey, its your own fault for getting caught with your cigarettes this morning" Tabitha shrugged "come on I want to get this over and done with as quick as possible"
John just muttered something under his breath and followed Tabitha down the corridor
"Lets start with my room" said Tabitha opening a door with a sign saying keep out on it
John wasn't surprised to find that tabby's room looked like some one had let a bomb go off in a clothes store
"Sheila don't you ever consider that you have way too many clothes" he asked as he put a pair of jeans that Tabitha had just thrown at him in the basket he was holding
Tabby gave a quick look round her room "Nope" was all she answered before dumping an arm full of washing in the basket " lets move on to the next room"
John just shook his head before following Tabitha across the hall into Emily's room
"Wow, who'd of thought the newbie only move in two days ago" was all he could say as he looked around the room
There was stuff every were, the blankets were half on the bed half on the floor along with both pillows, some of the dresser draws weren't shut properly, having various items of clothes hanging out of them, even the wardrobe doors hadn't been shut
"I know, it took me at least a week to get my room at least looking half decent and she managed it in a day and a half" said tabby "a few more posters etc and this place will look real comfy"
John nodded as Tabitha picked up a few more items of clothing, he looked round the room a bit more till his attention was caught by a silver picture frame lying face down on the dresser top, putting down the washing basket, he picked up the frame
The picture inside showed a young couple, both with the same dark hair as Emily, the man had a young boy sat in his lap, and the woman was holding a baby
"your being nosey" said Tabitha from behind causing John to jump and almost drop the frame
"bloody hell tab's what is it with you and trying to give people heart failure" the aussi snapped
Tabitha just smirked "oh chill Johnny and you're the one poking through some one else's stuff"
"I wasn't poking I just noticed that the frame was knocked over and was picking it up" he said putting the fame back down
"mmuh," was all tabby said
"it was" John protested
"ok what ever don't have a strop" tabby pacified, she turned to add Emily washing to her own "come on we've still got to do Wanda's room"
Picking the washing basket back up John move back into the corridor
They both stopped in front of Wanda's bedroom door
John looked at Tabitha "are you sure it's safe to go in there"
Tabitha rolled her eyes "oh come on, what are you a man or a mouse" before opening the door and disappearing into the darkness
John looked at the dark doorway and gave him self a mental shake 'the Sheila's right, it's on Wanda's room, be a man' and with that he took a hesitant step into the room
"I'm a man, I'm a man" he whispered under his breath "Tab's" he called out into the darkness, but getting no answer he took a few more steps into the room the only light coming from the open door
John gulped "Sheila where are you" he asked before hearing a squeak behind him turning he saw the door closing of its own accord plunging the room into total darkness,
John let out a squeak of his own, as he heared some thing move in the dark "I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man" he repeated
Taking a step back he put out an arm trying to find the light switch on the wall
"I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man"
His questing fingers found the switch he flipped it only to find it didn't work
He gulped again as he heard more noises in the dark "Tabitha, giving Johnny a heart attack isn't funny" he said his voice slightly high then normal
No answer
Suddenly a hand clamped onto his shoulder
John let out a scream "Alright I give up I'm a mouse, I'm a mouse not let me out a here "
Another hand clamped onto his mouth silencing him John gave a muffled whimper before a rattling sound let a stream of sunlight into the room as Tabitha pulled back the curtains
Tabitha removed her hand from across his mouth
"John do me a favour next time you scream like that don't do it down my ear" Tabitha glared at a sheepish looking John
Pulling back the other curtain to let in more light or as much light as you can into a room that painted black
Tabitha quickly went and collected the washing Wanda had left in a corner
Putting it in the basket they walked back into the corridor "right I think we've got enough for a couple of loads, so lets put this in before we have to start on the next floor"
Both teens gave a shudder as they thought about what a waited them on the boys floor
"remind me to do something nasty to the jocks when we get back to school tomorrow" grumbled John as they headed back down the stairs to the ground floor
plz plz plz let us know what you think etc
