White
Rose
"ACHOO!" Mimi
sneezed as he wiped her nose on her sleeve and looked in the mirror.
Her eyes were puffy and blood shot. She tried to breathe through her
nose, but her nose was so stuffed, she couldn't. She shuffled her
feet out of her room and knocked on her brother's door.
"Mimi,
what's the matter," Bit said as he bent down to eye level with
his sister.
"My nose if stuffed, my eyes are red, and I wish
I didn't wake up, I think I am going to die!" Mimi mumbled. Bit
shook his head and said, "You're sick, I think you better stay
home,"
"Sick, I don't have to go to school? But, I like
school!"
"I know you do, Mimi, but you don't want to get
the other kids sick,"
"Am I going to die?"
"No,"
"Are
you sure?"
"Yes, now come on, let's cure your
cold,"
"But I'm not cold,"
"Not the "cold"
cold, the cold like your sick," Bit said as he led his sister
into the kitchen.
"Woah, Mimi, you look sick," Brad said
as he put down his coffee cup. Mimi nodded and laid her head down on
the table.
"I'm
calling the school, so stay right there Mimi," Bit said as he
left the kitchen. Mimi moaned and scratched her head. Brad rubbed her
back and continued drinking his coffee.
"Do you want some
7UP Mimi?" Leena asked as she poured a can of 7UP into Mimi's
cup. Mimi nodded and turned to Leena.
"When I was little, my
dad always gave me this when I was sick. It always helps now when my
throat is soar," Leena said as she gave Mimi the pink cup. Mimi
took a sip, licked her lips and said, "This taste good,"
Leena smiled and left the room. Bit entered the room with a slip of
paper.
"I need to go down to the body shop to get up grades
on the Blade Liger," Bit said as he grabbed his coat.
"I
want to come!" Mimi said as she slammed down her cup, spilling
some of her 7UP. Brad's eyes widened for a second, then he took a sip
of his coffee.
"Mimi, your sick, you need to stay home,"
suddenly Mimi gave Bit the puppy eyes, which you can't say no to. Bit
sighed and said, "Get your coat,"
"So's you
wants to up grade on your Blade Liger? Can I see the receipt,"
The mechanic said as he stared at Blade. Bit checked his pockets and
his eyes widen.
"Mimi, do you remember which pocket I put the
receipt in?" Mimi shook her head and took a drink of her 7UP.
Bit sighed and said, "Hold on Mister, maybe I left it out in the
car," Bit said as he ran out of the body shop. Mimi reached into
her coat pocket and pulled out the receipt. She tugged on the
mechanic's sleeve and handed him the piece of paper.
"Ha ha,
aren't you a little trickster today. Thank you young lady," Mimi
smiled and took a sip of her drink. Bit came in panting."I
couldn't find it, but I am sure-"
"Don't worry lad, we
found it,"
"How? Where?" Bit said scratching his
head.
"Oh, it just appeared from some where," he
mechanic said as he winked at Mimi. She winked back and smiled.
"AHHCHOO!" Mimi sneezed as she laid deadly in her
bed. She whipped her nose on her sleeve and laid back in her bed.
There was a knock on her door.
"Come in if you dare,"
Mimi said as she rubbed her eye.
"Mimi, your friends are
here," Bit said as he held the door open for Mark and
Rachel.
"Mimi! Are you going to die!" Rachel said as she
sat in the chair directly across from Mimi. Mimi shook her head and
rubbed her eye. Mark leaned back on Mimi's desk and looked at his
feet.
"She just has a cold Rachel and that's it," Mark
said as he looked up. He looked tiered or either that,
worried.
"Yeah, but Bit says I should be fine tomorrow,"
Mimi said as she looked at Rachel. Rachel smiled and relaxed in her
chair, but Mark seemed to straighten up at the thought.
"Well,
um, Rachel we better leave, because Bruce will be mad at us for
making him wait," Mark said as he headed toward the door. Rachel
glared at him and said, "He is talking to Bit, we can stay, sit
in the chair," Mark slumped over to the chair and plopped into
it. Mimi giggled and leaned back on the headboard of her bed.
"Your
brother is here?" Mimi asked Mark as he looked up at her. He
nodded and sighed.
"Excuse me?" A guy with an eye patch
came in. Mimi looked over at him and smiled. She was guessing that it
was Bruce. He handed Mimi a white rose and stood next to Mark.
"You
must be Bruce?" Mimi asked, as she smelled the rose. He nodded
and scratched his neck. "Mark said you where Bit's little
sister, and the one with the awesome blade liger. So when Rachel came
in crying and told me you were sick, I thought we could come over
here and wish you a get well,"
"Well thank you for the
rose,"
"Don't thank me, thank Mark. He is the one who
picked it out," Mark sunk low in his chair. You could tell by
how low he went that he was embarrassed.
