Chapter 6: Faces in Windows and Green Mambas
Feryal woke up the next morning laughing. When she walked into the living room and saw Piotr, John, and Remy, she burst out laughing. She walked into the kitchen and sat down.
"Vhat was that about?" Piotr asked.
"I dunno, mate." John said. "But she must've found somethin' funny."
John and Piotr looked at Remy who was in his boxers with the chili peppers on them and on the waistband that said "I'm Spicy!" He had his mouth open with drool on the pillow.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Feryal grabbed the comics and started reading Garfield when she noticed something in the window. It was kind of weird looking. She calmly got up and walked into the living room to get someone.
Piotr, John, and Remy, who was awake now, saw Feryal run in and screamed,
"There's something in the kitchen window!"
"What d'you mean there's somethin' in the window?" John asked with a CSI type tone.
"I mean I looked out the window and there was something there!" Feryal screamed.
"Okay, we'll go check it out." Piotr said getting out of his chair.
"What's going on?" Aidan asked rubbing her head sleepily.
"Get down!" John screamed running towards Aidan.
Aidan saw him and steeped out of the way, leaving John to fall on the ground.
Aidan looked at John, who now had his face in the floor, and laughed and gave him a little kick.
"It's not funny!" John yelled into the floor.
"Oh yes it is." Aidan said laughing.
Piotr came back from the kitchen with Remy.
"There's nothing there now. What ever you saw it's gone now." Piotr said.
"Are you sure?" Feryal asked.
"Yes, we did not find anything unusual." Piotr said.
"Okay." Feryal said.
"What's going on out here?" Jennie asked.
"'De little one saw somet'in in 'de winda." Remy said putting his arm around Jennie.
"Oh, what did you see?" Jennie asked.
"Well, it was kind of blurry, but it was a man and he was staring at me. His eyes were bright red and it looked like he shattered the glass just by staring at it." Feryal said.
"But the glass isn't broken." Piotr said.
"I know I said it looked like he did. It was really freaky." Feryal said.
"It's alright, no one's goin' t' get ya. We'll pretect ya." John said trying to be all super hero like.
Feryal just laughed.
Later that night….
Feryal was awakened by a noise of laughter in the hallway. She got out of bed and went to the door to see what it was. When she opened the door she saw Aidan with a video camera and a BIG smile on her face.
"Now we are goin' out t'see if we can find anything." John whispered.
"Aidan, what's he doing?" Feryal asked following them.
"You know how John tends to sleep walk?" Aidan asked.
"Yeah." Feryal said.
"Well tonight we are Steve and Terri Irwin." Aidan said laughing.
Feryal ran back to her room and got her video camera. When she was running down the hallway, she ran into Piotr, literally.
"Vhat are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm video taping John. He thinks he's Steve Irwin and he thinks Aidan's his wife." She said laughing.
Just then Remy came out and asked what was going on. When he knew the whole story he started laughing.
"Oh, I gotta get to the kitchen, they were heading out to the backyard." She said running into the kitchen.
She got to the window and realized she couldn't tape it. She couldn't see out the window and hold the camera without falling into the sink. Piotr and Remy walked in to see the show.
"Piotr, hoist me up so I can film this without falling into the sink." Feryal said.
"Okay." Piotr said picking her up and holding her by her butt.
"Thank you." She said.
There was a lot of laughter coming from the kitchen now.
Jennie walked in rubbing her eyes and said,
"What in the name of Poseidon is going on out here?"
Feryal looked over and said,
"John thinks he's Steve Irwin and we're filming it. He thinks Aidan is his wife and she's filming him."
"Are you serious?" Jennie asked coming over to look out the window.
"Shhhh!" Remy said, "look. Open the window some more."
Jennie opened the window and they all listened as Feryal taped.
"Uh-oh, we are now ent'ring Green Mamba territ'ry. We 'ave t'be really careful. The Green Mamba is very poisonous and it strike at any second." John said walking like Steve Irwin.
"Oh isn't 'e a beaut? Would ya jus' look at 'is color?" John said picking up 'the Green Mamba'.
"Are ya getting' this Terri?" John asked Aidan.
"Oh yes," Aidan said in-between laughs, "Every heart-stopping minute of it."
Just then John fell to the ground and began to shout,
"Oh my GOD! He spit poison in my eyes!"
Just then John woke up and realized a green garden hose had 'spit' water into his eyes.
"Why'm I outside with a garden 'ose in my hand? And why d'you 'ave a video camera?" John asked.
"Oh nothing." Aidan said still laughing.
