Chapter 3: Just ask

The next morning Frankie hummed as she did the dishes. She sang while she folded the laundry. She even laughed when she heard the Coco had eaten one of Foster's most prized possessions. "Accidents happen! Just give it a rest Herriman!" And she laughed all the way to the kitchen to prepare lunch. As she entered the kitchen, she saw Eric washing the dishes. Her heart did a flip-flop.

"Uh, Hi Eric!" She said. She started to cook lunch. They worked in silence for a while until Eric spoke.

"Uh, about last night..."

"Oh, don't worry! Things like that happen in this madhouse!" Eric laughed. They started talking about the house and the friends. Coco ran in the kitchen.

"COCO!"

"Coco, get out! You know your not supposed to be in the kitchen while I'm cooking! Its unsanitary! Especially since your covered in mud."

"Coco! Coco coco coco coco coco! COCO!"

"Yes, I know it smells good, but you need to go for a while! I'll call the friends when lunch is ready. Okay?"

"Coco."

"Okay! I'll see you later! Now go wash up!" Eric stared at Frankie. She had a lot of patience to put up with this every day.

"So, how long have you been working here?" Eric asked.

"About... 3 years? Maybe 4... or was it 3 ½?"

"Oh, well, I was just wondering." Frankie finished preparing the meal.

"LUNCH TIME!" she screamed over the loudspeakers. She put the food on the table. Imaginary friends came rushing from all different angles to get a good seat. Finally, Mr. Herriman hopped along. The friends were ready to eat, but someone was missing!

"Ms. Francis! Where is Master Blooregard? He should be here by no-"

"HERE!" Screamed Bloo. He slid into his chair and began to talk.

"Geez! You should have seen it outside! Whoowee! I mean, Coco was making a mess and Wilt was trying to stop us and I was like, NO WAY! And then Wilt was like, YAH, stop, and Coco was like, COCOCO!" But no one listened. They all dug in. Eric sat next to Frankie. They bumped arms a few times (Eric was left handed and Frankie was right) and touched each others feet. Frankie blushed heavily every time this happened. When they were done eating, Mack came in and ran off with Bloo outside. The friends retreated to where they were before. Frankie and Eric were left in the room alone.

"Uh, you wanna go somewhere? You know, I don't have any chores to do today," said Frankie. She blushed.

"Yah, sure! Sounds fun!"

They went to the movies in the Foster's bus. It was a little bit awkward in the bus. There was so much room and only 2 people filled it up. They got to the theatre and looked at the movies to watch.
