Chapter 11

Johnny tiptoed into the kitchen as quietly as he could. Charlie followed.

'What are we doing?' whispered Charlie.

'Something funny' whispered Johnny opening the fridge. He grabbed a can of whipped cream.

'Whipped cream?' she questioned.

'Yeah' he answered tiptoeing into the lounge room to where Ben Grimm was sleeping. Johnny shook the can and placed a large ball of whipped cream onto Ben's out folded hand. He grabbed the feather duster and walked behind the couch. He signaled Charlie to do the same. She quietly walked behind the couch and a smirk grew on her face. She had an idea of what Johnny was doing.

'Ok. As soon as he hits his hands on his head we gotta run. Okay?'

'Ok' she whispered back

Johnny flipped the feather duster over to the handle and ran it over Bens rocky face. Ben flinced but he didn't move. Charlie started laughing. Johnny tried again and Ben didn't move that time either. So Johnny tried again, and still nothing.

'Here, let me have a go' said Charlie quietly.

She ran the feather duster over Bens face. And sure enough his hand moved and the cream when splat all over his orange face.They both burst out laughing. Johnny quickly grabbed Charlie's hand and ran.

'JOHNNY! CHARLIE!' yelled Ben, as he relised what they had done.

They ran to the elevator and pressed the button to the ground floor. They were still in histerics at the sight og Ben's face covered in cream.

They exited the Baxster Building and decided to get something to eat. For eleven 'o clock at night there was a lot of hustle and bustle around the city. They walked down the to Burger King in silence. Just taking in the atmosphere of everything around. Charlie wasn't used to the city life so everything all was new to her. They end up buying two soft serve ice creams, they came to the total of one dollar.

'Man these ice creams sure are expensive.' said Johnny sarcastic.

Charlie licked her ice cream. 'Yeah, but they are worth it.'

They walked around the streets for a while just chatting about anything and everything. They had decided to head back to the Baxster Building. Two guys in their thirties stood on the corner talking. When they spotted Charlie in her short shorts, they began to wolf whistle. She had had enough of this crap today. Johnny looked at Charlie, ready to beat the guys up.

'Its ok, I got this one.' she whispered.

They were getting closer to the two men and they started making comments.

'Well hi there Daisy.' said one.

'You got a pair of hot legs there don't ya missy?' laughed the other one.

'You'se gotta pair of hot shoes there don't ya?' she said impersonating Daisy Duke.

'Huh?' they said confused.

Johnny and Charlie walked past and she smiled at the guys. With the flick of her wrist the two men's shoes had caught alight and they were jumping around, swearing, trying to put the flames out. Johnny turned to see what all the commotion was about. He seen they were putting out the flames of their shoes and laughed. It reminded Johnny of the time he was driving to the Dirt Bike Arena, and a heavy set guy was challenging him to drag. Johnny had set the guys tyres alight.

'I've done something similar before.' he commented.

'Really?' asked Charlie, smiling.

'Yeah. Some guy wanted to drag me. He was in a dodge at the stop lights, and as the green came on in set his tyres on fire and they melted.'

She laughed. 'Man, he would have been pissed.'

They reached the buliding and went up to the apartment.

'Well thanks again for today Johnny. Its been really fun when you think about it.'

'Yeah. It has been. I'll see you in the morning then.'

'Good night' she said giving him a hug. She walked off into the spare room where her brother was sleeping.

Johnny smiled contently and went to his room.
