We lived in the small light blue house for a month happily, we had good jobs

We lived in the small light blue house for a month happily, we had good jobs. Ro was at the recording studio everyday for half the day leaving a seven and then coming home at four or so in the afternoon. I would leave at about the same time but I would come home around six thirty. She cooked something up for the both of us. She seemed to like cooking the meat the most but her favorite things to eat where different types of fruits like strawberries which I liked the most, kiwis, oranges, bananas, grapes, melons, and some other different fruits. But the best thing she cooked was the breads. She made excellent loafs of bread for us in her kitchen.

Ro invited Tiffany to visit for a couple days. I guess she now understood Tiffany better and accepted her for who she is and was. Ro remembered that they still had their differences and that she was somewhat naive. She cleaned up the house till it was perfect. We weren't the cleanest people in the world but we did okay. I went into Ro's bedroom. It's the place she hung out by herself but most of the time she came into my room during the night and slept next to me in my bed.

Her room was decorated in it's own unique style pretty simple. Her bunk bed in the corner by the window with a blue curtain pulled back. On the bed she has about thirty stuff animals she has collected over the many times we went to the carnival. I see the big teddy bear with the blue wizard/magician outfit right in the middle. Some others I recognize from the first time we went to the carnival. We've gone there a couple more times after that time though.

A closet across from it with a few clothes and shoes in it. She has a dresser in there as well with a mirror so she can look at herself. She loves to look at herself with that mirror. Why I have no idea maybe she likes the way she looks.

On the walls of the room are a few posters mostly of animals. Ro has baby tigers, some white, and some brown, a Black Panther lying in a rain forest environment looking over a great waterfall. She has that poster that she won at the carnival hanging up plus some others she got at a poster store down the street. But I can say that she likes animals to the very least.

Next to the closet is her small desk with her laptop she just bought. Right next to that is her entertainment center. It has a television, stereo system, and a game system she sometimes plays and where she has some flowers, which I like to smell everyday on top of the entertainment center. Also some bamboo plants a friend of hers down the street bought for her as a homing gift or something like that.

Next to her bed is a leather couch she sits on with me sometimes and watches just TV or a movie. Or she just sits there and talks to some of the pets she has gained in the month's time. Ro has a small puppy. She spoils that dog though. He's like her best friend when I'm at work or when she comes home for lunch. It's a little dog that isn't that bright she calls Rhythm because she likes music. Which also is on in the house 24/7.

Ro has the biggest collections of CDs ever made in a couple of weeks. She must get three new CDs everyday. Which she has a few racks of them in here and in the living room and also in the game room? We had what looked like a small house but it had four bedroom, a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, basement, which we used for as a game room. It looked like a two-story house but had a basement too.

I looked next to the CD racks. It was a big cage with two little critters looking to be let out. She said they were ferrets naming both of them Merlin and Montana. Both little boy ferrets. I opened the cage and picked one out. One snapped at me. They were still not trained to not bite. But they had soft fur and where very playful as they jumped around and ran. "So Zee do you like them?"

"They're funny little things. They still bite though."

"They're teething. Both of them still don't have all of their teeth. Anyway dinner is ready Zee."

"All right. You're the best cook in the world Ro."

"Ya sure I am." She was to me. No one else cooked like her. It was the way where she would put different spices on food that normally didn't go on things and make them taste good.

"When is Tiffany coming?"

"Mike is picking her up for me and dropping her off here."

"So did you talk to Mr. Morgan?"

"Yes he says I was glad that I found my family but still wishes I found it there. He must still not know that I always considered them my family."

"Well have you told him Ro?"

"NO I think I will soon though." I started eating the bread she made yesterday with some butter, then some of the cut up beef with noodles and some other mild spices and such.

"Mmm Ro this is good did you make this today?"

"Yeah I got off of work earlier today." The doorbell ringing alerted Rhythm to start barking. Ro got up and answered the door. There was a loud commotion of people saying hi and such. Then I saw Tiffany's brown hair in the two ponytails like she had last time. Ro went over to the stove and got some of the soup/stew thing she made for Tiffany.

"So Ro is this Zee?"

"Yeah he's living with me now."

"He's that robot you had last time right?"

"Yeah of course he is."

"Oh so do you guys have jobs yet?"

"Yeah Zee's a secretary for a local new hit station down the street and I working on a recording for a CD that's going to be released by the end of the year."

"Wow really that's so cool. So you guys own this house right?"

"Yeah we do."

"So Ro have you seen any big stars yet?"

"Sometimes I see some I know driving out of the studio in the late afternoon but none that I have met yet."

"Wow, Mike seems nice where did you meet him?"

"He's a neighbor that helped us move in some things earlier this month and he did us a favor by picking you up while we cleaned up the house."

"Mmm this is good did you make it Ro?"

"Yeah she's a great cook."

"Hmm I thought you couldn't eat."

"He's human now Tiffy. It was a science experiment we tried out for."

"Oh wow so his real and everything huh?"

"Yep sure is."

Ro gave a tour of the house to Tiffy. I followed along not having anything better to do. First we showed our living room. Which had a couple of couches, a coffee table, and a big TV. It was pretty simple with wood flooring. Ro and I barely ever used that room unless we had company over.

Then we went to game room. We had a pool table, some video games and an old air hockey game. Ro loved to play against her friends in the neighborhood and she played sometimes against me but I wasn't so good. What I was good at was the basketball arcade game though. I would play it a couple of times a night. Another thing I liked about this place was the neighbor's didn't care about noise since they made so much on their own. We went back upstairs to show Tiffy the rest of the house.

We showed her our bedrooms and what we did with them. Tiffy seemed to like Ro's room the best though. MY room was plain enough. It had been one of the master bedrooms since they're like two. Ro's room was slightly smaller but only barely. I had a queen bed with a plaid sheets, a TV, some bookshelves, and a few small things that I liked on the shelves. But not much to entertain. Usually I went down to the game room or to Ro's room. Which had the best view and a balcony.

We showed Tiffy to the guestroom. It was all set up and everything. She said it was more comfortable than a hotel room and a little more homey. Later that night while I was shooting some hoops I heard Ro and Tiffy running down the stairs. They were going to be playing air hockey and pool all night. I betted a million dollars on it.

My favorite room was the game room. There were some couches down here as well and it was like a lounge because we had a small bar there but neither of us drank but we made some fruit mixes and such there.

Ro loved to play pool, cards, and air hockey. Some of my guy friends would play a tournament of basketball since we had three machines all hooked up together. We had a lot of friends already over here in this city. It just seemed to be a lot of young couples living around here. Even though most of them where at least a few years older than Ro they still liked her.

I turned around to see both Ro and Tiffy in a heated game of air hockey. The next goal would win since it was six to six and the score went up to seven. Ro and Tiffy where hitting the puck so fast that all you could see was a red streak passing through the game. Ro made the last goal.

"Wow that was fun. Zee you want to play me?"

"Sure but I'm not as good as Ro so go easy on me."

"Alright I will." Even though it seemed like she was going easy I still couldn't make a single goal.

"Oh well you won Tiffy. I'm better at basketball anyway." She went up against me in basketball and lost badly 48 to 21. No one can beat me at shooting hoops.

"You weren't kidding were ya Zee."

"He never kids."

"Oh yeah?" I picked her up and hung her upside down. Tiffy just giggled. I flipped Ro back around and had her back on her feet. She punched me in the shoulder. I pretended to be hurt. She kept on hitting me till I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. She kept on hitting my back but I barely noticed. I walked up the stairs and Tiffy followed. I walked till we got to Ro's room where I dropped her down on her bed.

"Ouch, what did ya do that for?"

"Just having my fun with ya Ro."

"Sure whatever." I smirked at her. I left her in her room. It was already ten-o-clock. Tiffy was in her room getting settled. I knocked on the door lightly. She was on her bed watching TV.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah I sure did can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot."

"Does Ro think of us as family?"

"Yes more than her real family."

"Why?"

"She says that she can't forgive her parents for never being there and even though yours said that she would never amount to anything they were there for her if she ever needed them."

"Did life on the street do that much to her?"

"Yes more than even I will ever know but she's amounted something to me. She got my freedom."

"She always was a rebel to the government. Are you guys like girlfriend and boyfriend?"

"Yes why?"

"Nothing. It's just I always knew she liked you a lot to do what she did."

"Yeah she does."

"Goodnight Zee."

"Night Tiffany." I walked over to Ro's room down the hall. She was lying on her bed holding a ferret with her dog, Rhythm by the foot of the bed sleeping. I placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned then smiled.

"Zee look at him isn't he cute?"

"Yeah sure thing Ro." The other one was out because I felt it rub along my leg before licking my hand. I picked him up in my hand. He looked like a small child, curious and impatient. I kissed his forehead softly. Ro smiled at me.

"You do like 'em don't ya?"

"Yeah I guess they are cute. Hey are you making a music video?"

"Yeah we're shooting it in a couple days. I'll show you it as soon as it comes out."

"What's the song called?"

"It's a real old song I bet half the people that hear will think it's new. Its called Rhythm nation."

"Who originally wrote it Ro?"

"Janet Jackson."

"Was she good back then?"

"Yeah she'd be good now if people would get out of techno music and into some real good music."

"Are you going to try to do that?"

"Yeah that's my goal. I'll reintroduce some oldies and make them over with some new beats and sing them."

"Well I can't wait to hear your CD."

"Neither can I."
