CHAPTER 4

"Ok! Tawny, Louis, you can take the windows, the bed and the t.v. Twitty and I will take the cabinets, the floor and the dresser," Ren ordered.

As everyone were to proceed to their respective jobs, Louis just had to ask,

"Wait, why can't Twitty and I be partners?"

"Well, if you two get together, I'm pretty sure you're never going to finish anything. If you and I are partners, we'd just end up fighting," Ren answered.

After Louis finally agreed, everyone started working. Once, when Ren was trying to reach for a box on a high shelf from the cabinet, she fell from the chair she was stepping on. Luckily, Twitty was able to catch her even before she hits the floor. Unfortunately, though, Twitty lost his balance causing both of them to fall. They laughed hard as they stood up. Louis and Tawny looked at them with a weird 'huh?' look on each other.

"You used soap this time," Twitty remarked suddenly with a laugh.

"What," asked Ren after a giggle. She was trying to dust off all the dirt that was caught on her shirt.

"Oh, nothing," Twitty answered immediately and all of a sudden aloof with what he might say to her.

Louis and Tawny on the other hand were busy cleaning up and getting to know more about each other. He found out how smart and serious Tawny can be, then get quirky the next second. He also knew that Tawny never had a boyfriend before and of course, was really into acting. Tawny found out that Louis was into playing the dirty tricks on people and has been trying hard to put up an image after the 'almost-perfect' image his brother and sister have put up. She also found out that Louis was in a band together with Ren and Twitty, some guy named Tom and a kid who loves bacon named Beans.

"So, you play the drums?! That's pretty cool," Tawny remarked

"Yeah. Actually, Ren takes the vocals. Twitty and Beans gets the guitars," he replied.

"Wow! So, are all your songs original," she continued.

"Yup! Most of them, we compose all by ourselves. Neat, huh?! But actually, we need a few tunes coming from an organist," he replied.

"Oh, well, do you guys have an opening," Tawny asked.

Louis replied, "Well, do you have a recruit?"

"I don't have one but I do have myself," she answered.

Louis looked up from sweeping the floor,

"You play the piano?"

"Ever since I could talk," she answered.

"Cool! We'll see in Thursday in our next band practice," Louis said.

"Cool!" Tawny replied.

Everyone was able to finish their assigned chores and did a pretty good job on it. Tawny, as a thank you to her newfound friends, offered to treat them to lunch tomorrow.

"Great!" Louis exclaimed.
