desert-rose5687: I thank you for your suggestion about chapters, but I think they're plenty long (about 3 or 4 Word pages.) I also like your works, of course!
Midnight Moonbeam: I liked that part, too!
Nooka: Lol! You are so funny! (Power to Rover!) I kind of like Rover, too.
Chapter Eight: Rover Makes a Lot of Trouble and Finds a Friend
The next day, Rover figured out a good way to cure his cabin fever; he was going outside. Going outside was the best way to cure cabin fever, Rover decided. So, Rover went outside to have fun with the other people in London.
For starters, he stood at the corner of Baker Street, and tripped people passing by. The people couldn't see Rover, of course, so down they all went. After the fun of that wore off, Rover decided to take a walk, and decide on another fun thing to do.
As Rover walked around London, he came across a little girl of about four, who had a ball stuck in a tree. The little girl saw Rover walking by, and said, "Mis'er, can you get my ball out of da tee?"
Rover was surprised that this little girl could see him, and said You want me to get your ball out of that tree?
The little girl nodded yes.
Okay. Rover sighed, and climbed the tree, and got the ball down for the little girl.
"Wat's your name," the little girl asked Rover.
Rover.
"Rover? Tat's a doggie's name," giggled the little girl.
So? And, I suppose your name is better? What is your name, anyway?
"Jethica Monroe," answered the little girl.
Jessica? That is better than my name!
Jessica giggled again. "You're funny," she said again.
Thank you, Jessica.
"Welcome. Tank you for getting my ball unstucked," Jessica said.
You're welcome. Good bye, Jessica. said Rover, leaving the yard.
Bye, Rover! Come back thoon," called Jessica.
Rover then decided that he'd had enough fresh air, and went back to 221 B Baker Street.
"Rover, where have you been all day," asked Holmes, when Rover entered the flat.
Helping a little girl get a ball out of a tree. said Rover.
"Really," asked Holmes in disbelief.
Yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself. Jessica's address is 346 Oxford Lane.
"I believe I shall," said Holmes.
So, Holmes put on his coat and hat, and went to 346 Oxford Lane, and saw Jessica Monroe outside, playing with her doll.
"Are you Jessica," Holmes asked.
"Yeth," said Jessica.
"Did
you see a rather oddly dressed fellow named Rover today," asked Holmes.
Jessica nodded yes.
"Did he get your ball out of a tree," asked Holmes.
"Mmhmm," said Jessica.
"All right. That's all. Thank you," said Holmes.
Surprised, Holmes went back to his flat.
So, did you talk to her? asked Rover.
"Yes," said Holmes.
And, was I right?
"Yes," replied Holmes.
Told you so!
A/N: Well, that's chapter eight! Hopefully Watson will finally talk to Holmes about Rover in the next chapter! Please r&r!
