Chapter Two!
Rick leaned on the table Mr. And Mrs. Krammer were making tarts on, telling them the story.
"So you found the girl you said you were going to marry?" Mrs. Krammer said in her Dutch accent.
"Mm-hmm. I helped deliver her, my father use to tell me that stupid story all the time. Now I found her, on accident," Rick said.
"Ah, Carnahans, nice family," Mr. Krammer said.
"What can you tell me about them?" Rick asked, eating a little piece of tart.
"One girl is blind, Nicole, she has a sweet tooth though, very nice family. The mother is sick, Evelyn, the youngest helps take care of her," Mrs. Krammer said cutting the dough.
"Do you know if Evelyn lives there?"
"I don't know, she just gets cakes and treats here."
"Oh."
"She ordered a cake?" Rick asked, excitedly leaning on the counter where the cakes were displayed. "What's the occasion?"
"I don't know, she just called up and ordered a cake," Mrs. Krammer said writing down the address while her husband tied the pink box in twine.
"Nothing written on it?" Rick asked.
"No, nothing. Do you want to take the delivery?"
"Yeah, yes of course! I mean it's not like she's an astronaut or something. She's just a woman I helped deliver. I mean, the world's full of women, right?"
"More than men," Mr. Krammer said.
"Exactly, she just a woman," Rick said, leaning more on the counter, not noticing Mr. Krammer holding the box for him to take. Mrs. Krammer tapped and Rick snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh, yeah, right."
As Rick rode the bike down the street that the Carnahans lived on he went throught lines to say to her. "Hello, remember me? I'm Rick O'Connell, I delivered, now I'm delivering you a cake!" Rick thought, no that wouldn't do. "Hello, remember me? I remember you! I really remember you." No no not good. "Hello, I'm Rick, Rick O'Connell, I helped deliver you!"
Rick strayed off his thoughts as he saw Evelyn get out of the car with another man; he stared at her, and didn't notice the car door open B A N G!! Rick hit the car door and was thrown over the car door.
"Oh my god," Evelyn said, as she rushed over to help, the man she was with following.
Rick opened his eyes to see a small crowd around him, he felt and ice pack on his head. "Ugh, ow, my head."
"Oh, are you alright?" an old woman asked.
"He's probably going to sue," a man, kind of old for he had grey hair said.
"Do think so?" the owner of the car asked.
"I would," another man dressed in blue doctor's outfit said, sitting on the car.
"No, no I'm fine, I have your cake," Rick, said getting up.
"Don't move you idiot!" the old man said.
"That's probably the cake I ordered," Evelyn said.
"What' the occasion?" the man on the car asked.
"No, I'm fine, thank you I'm fine," Rick said, taking the ice off his head. He turned to the old woman. He held out his hand, "Hello, I'm Rick O'Connell."
The old woman had a shocked face on, Rick's eyes rolled up and he fell back, another man catching him.
Rick woke up on a couch, a nice blanket covering. He heard the door opened and he turned to look, he saw a little girl standing there. "Hello," Rick said. The girl screamed and ran off down the hall into the kitchen where she was scolded for screaming. Rick sat up and looked around. He was in a nice cozy room. He looked at a little tree like thing that held lockets. He looked at one then put it back. He got up, stretched a bit then walked down the hall into the kitchen where the old woman greeted him.
"Hello," Rick said. The woman hugged him.
"Oh, Rick, there you are! Everybody! Listen, listen!" She said, until they quieted down. "This is the man child who thrust these very hands into my reluctant womb, and wrestled, and wrestled until he had brought out life itself from me."
Rick just waved a bit, "Hi."
"Hey, that's the retard! That's the retard!" a man said, the man was tall with brown colored hair and wore a doctor's outfit.
"Here she is! Look at her, isn't she magnificent!" Melody said, bringing Evelyn to Rick.
"Mother, please," Evelyn said, blushing a little.
Rick gazed at her dreamily, and then said, "Last time I saw you, you were covered in after birth."
"Oh, I'm sure that's a line you've never heard before," a man said walking up behind her. He was tall with black short hair.
"Imhotep, this is the man responsible for bringing me into this world, be grateful," Evelyn said. Imhotep put an arm around her.
"Thank you for bringing her into the world. It'd be a much less interesting place without her," then they walked off.
"Rick, you must stay for dinner," Melody said. Rick nodded.
"Thanks," he said. Then walked off. He past a woman holding a baby who stopped him
"Hello, I'm Mary," she said.
"oh, hello, is that your baby?" He asked pointing to the child.
"OH, yeah right," She said and put the baby in his arms.
"Hey could you bring the baby in here please?" the lavender haired boy asked. Rick did so. "Why did you fire her, Nicole?"
"She read too fast, and she skipped parts," Nicole said.
"Jonathan hired one of his girlfriends to read for Nicole," Jonathan's wife said to Rick.
"Oh, that's silly honey," Jonathan said.
"Oh, that's right, your girlfriends can't read."
"Come on honey!" Jonathan said following his wife into the kitchen leaving Rick and Nicole alone. Rick watched Evelyn and Imhotep outside the window. He reached in his pocket and got out some tile and started to shake them in his hand.
"What's that sound?" Nicole asked. Rick just then noticed her.
"Oh, it's some tile I collected for good luck," Rick replied.
"Oh, that's cool, can I feel them?"
"Yeah sure, that's granite," Rick looked out the window again for a while then gave Nicole another one, "That's marble, and this is malachite."
"huh, is something wrong?"
"What, no, nothing's wrong. How about you keep those?"
"Can I?"
"Yeah, sure."
"For good luck eh?"
"Yep."
The table was full with the family. On one end sat Mr. Howard Carnahan, the opposite end sat Mrs. Melody Carnahan. On the opposite side of Rick sat Imhotep, to Imhotep's right was Evelyn, and to Imhotep's left was Jonathan' wife. On Rick's side sat himself, to his left was Nicole, and to his right was Mary and Jonathan. Conversation was abuzz.
"More wine?" Rick asked Mary.
"Ah, man, wine's poison," she said as Rick filled her cup.
"Oh, please don't Mary!" Evelyn said. "She says practically everything is poison."
"I'm just telling the facts!" Mary then turned to Rick. "They injected a rat five times a day with this stuff for twenty years, you know what it died of?"
"Old?"
"Mmf! I like this guy!" Jonathan said, no one really gave that answer to Mary.
"I'm thinking of reading A Russian Love Story," Nicole said. (Of course I can't remember the real title, so sorry, if you want to know what it was then watch the movie!) Melody sighed.
"OH, that is the greatest love story I have ever read!" Melody said.
"Can we please not talk about love while I'm eating?" Howard said.
"Daddy doesn't believe in love," Nicole said to Rick.
"Rick's been love before, haven't you Rick? He's a romantic, I can tell," Melody said.
"Actually I have been in love," Rick said.
"Oh really?" Nicole asked. "What's it like?"
"Oh, yes, do tell, I'm all pins and needles," Mary said sarcastically.
"Well, it's like listening to music from another room. You sing along with the tune because it's one you really like, and say a door closes or a train passes by you still sing and when you hear the song you're in exact same time with it. That's what it's like," Rick said. Jonathan's wife began to cry.
"Oh man, made the wife cry," Jonathan said.
"Well, thank you Rick, that is a fitting intro to what I have to say," Evelyn said getting up. But then Jonathan' wife got up.
"I can't take this," She said and pulled out a gun. Rick's eyes went wide. "I am going to kill myself." Rick ducked under the table.
"Oh, please stop doing that, Meela!" Melody said.
"Must we go through this every night?" Howard asked exasperatedly.
"Don't worry, her therapist never gives her bullets," Nicole said to Rick.
"Unfortunately," Mary said.
"I'm going to kill myself, then I'm going to kill him," She said pointing the gun to Jonathan.
Jonathan sighed exasperatedly, "How many times have we been through this? Kill me, then yourself! Got it? It's me then you, me then you. Okay?"
Meela nodded. Evelyn held out her hand, "Okay, give me the gun."
Meela nodded and handed her the gun, "Okay, take it, I got it out of my system."
Rick sat back up. Jonathan then said, "Okay, what were you going to say?"
Evelyn just sat there so Imhotep got up, "She was going to say that we are officially engaged."
"Oh this is so wonderful!" Melody said. Rick just sat there, as the couple was congratulated; he had to break them up. He wouldn't let his spirit be broken but this just pushed it back a little.
"Hey, Nicole, I'll read for you," Rick said, an idea forming in his head.
"Really? Hey, Mum Rick said he'd read for me! Is it okay if Rick reads for me, Evelyn?" Nicole asked excitedly. Evelyn nodded. "What do you think, Howard?" Melody asked. Howard just shrugged, "I don't care."
Rick walked up the steps to the Mosaic place dressed in some old clothes that he wouldn't use except for this. Mr. Nary came to him and gave him an apron.
"Oh, thank you Mr., Nary! You won't regret this! I'm a magician!" Rick said, putting on the apron.
"If I wanted a magician I would have hired Houdini," Mr. Nary said. He turned around, "Okay come look at these plans over here."
Rick sat at a table, as someone came with a bucket and piled tiles on the table. Rick just looked at the wall in thought, chewing on gum.
"Have them cleaned by noon, Michelangelo," the Italian said then walked off. Rick nodded and got to work.
"He stepped out of the train knowing that no one should know that he wanted to marry Kitty. 'Just be calm, and quiet. What are you doing? I said be quiet stupid!' he said to his heart," Rick read to Nicole and Melody. "This isn't working is it?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Melody asked from her position on the couch, she lay on the couch her head resting on Nicole's lap.
"I mean, this scene takes place in a garden, we should be in a garden!" Rick said.
"Oh, no, I can't leave mother, Evelyn would kill me," Nicole said shaking her head.
"Oh, don't be silly, Nicole. You could go to the garden that Evelyn works at! I'll go get your coat," Melody said, but Rick stopped her.
"There's no need, it's a beautiful day outside! It's warm and sunny!" Rick said.
"No, I don't want to," Nicole said. Melody put a hand on her shoulder.
"Go on with Rick, honey," Melody said comfortingly. "It's alright, he'll take care of you, and I'll be alright. Don't let me get in your way."
So out they went to the garden that Evelyn worked in. Nicole sat on a bench in the shade of a towering young oak as Rick read to her, constantly looking up to look for Evelyn.
"I can hear a bee. Is there a bee around?" Nicole asked nervously.
"No, no there's no bee near you," Rick said and continued reading.
"Yes there is I can hear it," Nicole said again, she sat uncomfortable.
"No, there isn't a bee anywhere near you, I promise."
"Yes there is! I can it better than you!" Nicole said.
"No-"
Nicole shot up, "Yes there is! Get it away from me! The bees are all around me!"
Evelyn had been walking down the stairs of the Garden when she saw Nicole shoot up, crying, she ran over and calmed her down. "Nicole, Nicole, calm down! There are no bees near you!"
"I hate bees!" Nicole sobbed. Evelyn took her to the bathroom. Evelyn walked out to Rick.
"Why did you bring her here?!" Evelyn practically screamed at him.
"You said she get out more," Rick said.
"Yeah, with me."
"Why only with you?"
"Because she and I have a special relationship! You wouldn't understand, I have always been her eyes to the sighted world."
"Well, perhaps she should have someone else do that for her!"
"You know, I don't think you're the right kind of person to read for her."
"What?! What, are you firing me?!"
"Yes! This isn't a kind of job for people like you!"
"Oh yeah? Then what kind of person is this job for?"
"For a retired teacher or elder, not you!" Evelyn said then pointed to his chest and said, "There's a bee on you."
"Jesus," he said then stuck hand in his shirt to get the bee off. "You know, you don't always have to be the one to do everything, perhaps Nicole should get out more, with other people!"
"Ssh! You're provoking it! Such fascinating creatures, bees are. Each is born to do their job; they do it, then they die," Evelyn said.
"Is that what you're going to do?"
"Excuse me?"
"Are you happy, Evelyn?"
"Yes, yes I'm happy!"
"I don't think you are."
"Then why did you ask the question if you knew the answer? Are you happy?"
"Mm-hmm," Rick said.
"Great, how great! Everybody's happy!" Evelyn was about to say more when Nicole came out of the bathroom.
"Okay, I'm better, I overreacted, and I'm sorry," she said standing there like a little girl.
"I'm sorry I brought you here if you had a bad time," Rick said as he and Evelyn walked over to her.
"Oh, no, I'm glad you did. It was kind of like an adventure."
"D-do you want to stay and read some more?"
"Oh no, no. I'm ready to go home now."
"Alright, let's go," Evelyn said and grabbed hold of Nicole's arm and lead her to her car. Rick just stood there a while and waved.
"Well, see you tomorrow then," and he walked off. Then he came stumbling back fighting the bee that was on his shirt. "Yaahh! Get away you blasted bee! Yowch! You little shit!! Sting me will you? Take that! Ha! I get the last laugh here!" (AN Okay that fighting the bee part wasn't in there I just added that because I thought it would have been funny to do. Read on plZ!)
~~~End Chapter~~~
Oops, can't read on with the story cuZ the chapter ends! Well I hope you enjoyed! I won't update for a while until I get the movie again and watch it. I've only watched it three times. I have to say it's my favorite Jude Law films because it kind of showed a different part of Jude's acting that I rarely saw; Comedy. He had such innocence in the movie that I haven't really seen in the films of his I have seen. I'm a big Jude Law fan and Brendan Fraser fan. I have seen that Brendan possesses a great acting ability. He can go from comedy to doing a drama in a snap. And can easily convert from doing a film to acting on stage easily too. He so diverse in his choosing and yet he only does the roles that are interesting to him. So he recently did a comedy, a Looney Tunes movie, next he'll probably do a drama or action, but an appealing role in Drama or Action. Well enough of my ranting on how talented Jude and Brendan are. R&R plZ I hope you enjoyed it!

So he recently did a comedy, a Looney Tunes movie, next he'll probably do a drama or action, but an appealing role in Drama or Action. Well enough of my ranting on how talented Jude and Brendan are. R&R plZ I hope you enjoyed it!
