Ch.27, Friendly Thoughts
Ten minutes later.
Charlie walked out of the tank room wearing new white top and bottom hospital clothes.
She looked at her fingers, "I'm all purnney!"
"That you are," said Grievous.
Charlie glared then looked away. She started walking and thinking about her friends again, sighing depressingly.
"What's wrong?" asked Grievous.
"Nothing," mumbled Charlie.
"Something is wrong," said Grievous walking along beside her.
Charlie rubbed her temple, "Well I'm not going to tell you!"
"Why not?" he asked.
"Cause, I'm just not going to," she looked away.
"Fine, just be depressed," said Grievous coolly.
Charlie glared at him, "I have been!" she then quickened her pace.
Grievous just looked at her thinking, he then moved faster to stay beside her.
"You not very good when it comes to other people's feelings," mumbled Charlie turning down a hallway to go to her room.
Grievous just walked behind her.
"I'm not going to do anything, I don't need a second shadow!" she looked at him.
"I'm making sure no crazy droid tries to hurt you," said Grievous.
"Notice how most of them belonged to you," said Charlie cutting her eyes at him.
"Don't point that fact out," he mumbled.
Charlie snorted, Grievous looked at her, "Don't snort at me!"
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I don't like it!" said Grievous.
Charlie turned around and started walking backwards, "Why?"
"Don't start that!"
"Why?" she grinned.
Grievous growled at her, "No sense of humor much!" said Charlie turning back around.
"My sense of humor wasn't included when I became this," he said.
"I don't think you had one even before you became that," she mumbled. Grievous glared at her as she started laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
Charlie looked at him sideways, "You are!"
"What about me?" he asked.
Charlie laughed, "I can't really explain it. Besides you said I should smile more!"
Grievous sighed, "That I did."
Charlie smiled, "But I'm still bored!"
"I can tell," he mumbled looking down at her.
Charlie watched her feet moved, when she suddenly walked into a pole. Grievous caught her as she fell backwards. "Owww!" she rubbed her head.
"You should really watch where you're going," said Grievous.
"I was thinking!" she mumbled.
"Even so… you should pay attention," he said standing up right.
Charlie glared at him then sighed.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked.
"My fri- oh never mind," she said as she started to walk away but he held on to her.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Let go please." She mumbled.
Grievous let her go, "What did you start to say?"
"Its nothing," she mumbled again.
"Very well… will you able to make it back to your room on your own?" he asked.
Charlie nodded as looked away when she started silently crying. She ran off to her room. She ran into her room and threw herself on to the bed and buried her face into the pillow.
Grievous walked to his chambers where on the table an unfinished pendant laid. He picked up a tool and started working on it again.
Then he picked up a opal colored stone and placed it inside, "I wonder if she'll like this?" Several hours later just before finishing he hid a tiny camera into it. "Finally its finished."
