A case of perfume
Lauren's P.O.V.:
Halloween came by quickly over the past 24 hours and now November 1st had arrived. Man only a few weeks till Thanksgiving which I cannot be excited for none the less. Yet today was like any other day. Sean and I were hanging around the neighborhood already in fall fleece jackets, layered shirts, fingerless gloves and other things enjoying a cup of hot chocolate sitting by the park. "I have to admit Sean, the gloves do help a lot when it comes to hot coco," I admitted as we sipped on the drink. "You bet Lauren, I'm telling you it helps out a lot," he added with a smile. "Hey guys," Keith said coming over to us. "Hey Keith, what you doing around here," Sean asked. "I'm just walking around for a little bit. What are you guys doing," he asked us. "Enjoying some hot chocolate and waiting for Hector who will hopefully come over to the park soon," I said looking around along with Sean.
"Where's Hector? He's normally not this late," Sean remarked. "Yeah he's supposed to be here for a game of basketball," I added. I felt my jacket vibrate with my ringtone of Burning up by the Jonas Brothers. "That's me," I called out pulling my phone. "Nice ringtone Lauren," Keith remarked. "I had to do something," I explained. I soon saw Hector on the caller ID. "It's Hector," I told Sean as I answered the phone and placed him on speaker. "Hey, what is taking you so long to get here dude? We've been waiting for you for the past 5 minutes," Sean told him.
"Nice to hear you Sean, and I'm sorry. Lisa needed help with her project for school so I'm helping out," Hector explained. "Yeah more like flirting with her," Sean muttered and I just laughed. "Is Sean joking about me and Lisa again," he asked. "Yep," I remarked. "Okay Sean, I am getting you when we play tomorrow," Hector told him. "Say what you want," he replied. "Hey, while you're at it, come on over to the high school. Lisa worked hard on her project," Hector told us.
"Were on our way bro, see you soon," I answered hanging up before getting Sean. "See you guys at the diner," Keith told us as we ran over to the subway station using our cards and soon getting on the subway over to the Jackson Heights High School where Lisa goes and Hector's former high school. We soon made it up the steps over to the science lab since Hector and Lisa were there. We saw them through the doorway of the lab. "Hey guys," I greeted them as Sean came in with me. "Hey Lauren," Hector said to me with a hug as we looked around. "So where's the project," Sean asked. "Right here," Lisa said taking a pot and placing the flower in. "Wow, what is that," I asked speechless.
Lisa's P.O.V.:
"It's a flower I cross blended with one of the seeds Dax gave me a few days ago," I answered. "What flower did you blend the seeds with," Sean asked. "A lily. I figured it would be simple with these and presto got a catillopue lily," I explained. "That's impressive Lisa, I have to admit looks like a beauty alright," Lauren whistled. "Sure does. I need to get more items set for the project because it needs proper nutrients soon so you guys want to help me out," I asked. "Sure," Lauren replied as we headed over to the greenhouse to pick up some of the food needed for the plant.
"So why do we need to get special plant food and water," Lauren asked quizzically. "Yeah, shouldn't it function well with normal water and food," Sean asked. "Not really guys, keep in mind the seeds are from the planet Sklecki and don't function a lot like ours so we have to adapt to the procedure," I answered. "Okay," they replied as we got a scoop of everything and went back to the lab hogging the stuff we needed.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
I have to admit this plant sounded really interesting. I mean, who wouldn't want this plant for a project. The four of us made it back to the lab where the door was open. That's odd, we kept it closed. "Hey guys did any of you leave the door open," I asked. "No," they replied. Sean and I looked at each other when we realized Lisa's plant. "The plant," we shouted and soon walked back into the room to see the lily gone only the stalk was there with the root still in place. "Where did it go," Lisa asked. "Didn't you leave it the way it was when we went to get the food," I asked. "Yeah I did," Lisa answered.
"I swear how could this happen," Hector wondered. "Well, I hate to say this Lisa but I think we need to go into desperate measure mode," I answered. "Lauren, you said it, HEY YOU GUYS," Lisa yelled out as we went out of the class room over through the high school, to a subway and went right to the diner to see Keith and Jessica waiting for us. "Hey, surprised you're here early," I remarked. "Well, we were getting homework done beforehand so here we are," Jess told us. "We got the desperate measure thing what's up," Keith asked. "Well, someone might have taken Lisa's flower she was working on for a project," I explained.
"Wait, you mean the lily one Lisa had been working over the past two days," Keith asked. "That one," Sean answered. "How did it happen," Jess asked. "Well, we went to the greenhouse to get the plant special food and somehow when we got the back, the lab door was open," Hector explained sitting next to Sean. "It was like one second it's there, the next gone," Sean added in. "Well, you guys have any idea who took it," Shock asked coming by with dishes. "Not really Shock, we just don't know," I answered. Soon, a phone buzzed and it wasn't mine but Hector's.
"Uh Hector your phone's buzzing," Sean told him. "Thanks," he said picking up the phone from his jacket pocket. "Oh great," he groaned. "What is it," I asked. "We now know who took the flower," he responded. "Who did it," Sean asked. "Look and find out," he admitted pulling up a video from who else than Francine. "Tomorrow in this science class discover the smell of a new scent that sweep the nation with a breath of wonderful air. This is now, Franscent by Francine," she said in the video and I swear she looked silly as one of those models you would expect with American Eagle. The video soon ended.
"Francine took the flower," Lisa yelled out loud. "How? We kept the door closed," Hector said speechless. "Maybe its one of those doors that don't lock," Sean pointed out and I just looked at him. "What? It's that what the main science lab has at the high school," he asked. "Sean does bring up a good point Lisa, maybe when we left Francine was hiding near the door somehow opened it and got the plant," I said to her. "But, how does that explain the cutting of the flower," she asked. "I think she also had a pair of scissors and soon cut the flower from the stalk in order to get the scent it needed," I answered.
Hector's P.O.V.:
"I honestly have to agree with Lauren and Sean on this Lisa besides, Francine chose to do this yet you had the flower first which you created. I just don't know how in the world were going to get through this," I told her. "Uh Hector, you may not want to look or smell further," Lauren told me as everyone in the diner scattered out like flies plugging their noses and so Francine came in. "LISA," she yelled seeing her right in the eye and walking up to her. "What is it Francine," she asked. "Your stupid plant did this to me," she accused. "Well, you were the one who took the flower from my project in the first place," Lisa shot back. "Oh come on, you know who smells now? I do," Francine shot at her. "What do you expect me to do? You're the one who cutted the flower and you can't do that to a catilloupe lily," Lisa answered. "Well excuse me, I didn't know it was yours so you can get an A and the teacher likes you," Francine told her. "Alright that's it," Lisa said and the two soon got into full blown argument mode right there bickering and calling each other names which I know they would regret in the end.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"Lauren," Hector asked me. "I'm on it," I replied going over to the two girls. "STOP IT," I yelled out loud and they looked at me. "You guys had your go at each other but now we got to focus on getting rid of the smell. So wouldn't it help for just 2 or so minuets you guys work out the problem together without fighting," I asked. They looked at me and soon realized I was right in fixing this problem. "Okay, let's go fix it," the girls admitted and soon went over to the high school working on the project. "Well Lauren, I must admit you have a way with people," Keith said patting my shoulder. "I sure do," I replied with a smile. "Let's just hope this works," Hector added as we sat down to talk for a little bit about what was coming up for us since the holidays were near the corner.
"So, any idea on what you guys might be doing," Keith asked us. "Not really, we just keep it low key every year when it comes to Thanksgiving," Hector told him. "Low key? Low key, dude may I remind you and everyone here you go nuts when the Thanksgiving football game is on T.V," I told my brother. "True I do," he shrugged. "He does," Keith asked. "Supports the Giants," I told him. "Oh," he realized now. My phone soon buzzed and I saw Lisa was calling. "Hey any luck," I asked. "We sure did Lauren. Francine and I made a root formula from the plant and got rid of the smell all together," Lisa told us. "Yes, alright," we cheered highfiving one another.
"That's not all we learned it took one part me and one part Francine Lauren so thanks to you again for breaking up the argument and talking some sense into us," she told us. "My pleasure. Hope to see you guys soon," I told them. "Were presenting soon, so wish us luck," Francine said on the other end. "You don't need it," I replied and soon hung up. "Well that's the good news but I'm still skeptical about Lisa and Francine presenting together on their project," I admitted. "Can't blame you Lauren besides, if I were her, I would have stayed with my project to begin with," Hector agreed.
"But hold on Hector didn't Jesus give the greatest commandment of love thy enemy and neighbor as thy self loves," Sean pointed out. "You're right Sean I forgot about that, oops," Hector admitted. "Sean, I can't believe you know that," I said stunned. "Well, the skills from catechism sure come in handy," he admitted. "Well, I don't know you all but who wants lunch," Hector asked. "I do," we said together and soon got to ordering food which was healthy of course and soon the bell chimed to which Lisa along with Jess came in.
"Hey guys," Lisa told us. "Hey how did the presentation go," I asked. "Well, it turns out Francine wanted to take all of the credit for the project," Lisa started to explain. "What a surprise," Keith muttered. "Yet, she went to the first perfume she made with Lisa's flower and it stunk up the place which Lisa came through with the solvent and got an A. Francine wasn't happy afterwards," Jess told us. "What did she get," Hector wondered. "A d," Lisa replied. "Oh my gosh, well that's what happens when you take someone's project they weren't supposed to," Sean admitted. "True that," we all agreed as Jess and Lisa came over. "Again Lauren, thank you I couldn't have done this without you," she told us. "Hey talking some sense into people is what I do and here we go again," I gagged as we smelled stinky food. "Hey who ordered the stinky cheese omelet," Shock called. "Right here Shock, come to papa," Keith answered back. Shock came by with the omelet and placed it right in front of Keith. "Eww, that's gross dude," Sean admitted. "I like stinky things so deal with it," he replied. I laughed and soon shook my head as we had lunch. You know things could happen in our group but in the end, this mission was a success.
There you have it guys! I know this is short but I couldn't find the episode to base it off with again, my apologies so please bear with me as I get more set and hopefully I will tease more episodes coming up. Peace!
