Misconceptions – Chapter 4
Living Room (Josh's POV) (6:03 A.M.)
I thought about the events that occurred late last night as I was sitting by myself on the couch. Mac and I had reached the bedroom where Bloo sleeps in. I went in front of Mac and opened the door silently as to not awaken the other friends who were currently asleep. Mac walked into the bedroom and laid Bloo on his bed. Mac pulled up the blanket up to Bloo's neck. We both then left to head for the guest room that Frankie had told us to stay in for the night. During the walk, I had noticed that Mac was a bit quiet since we left Bloo, so I decided to make light conversation.
"So, where was the room again?"
"It's just down over there." It seems that my 'light' conversation was a bit too light. When we had reached the guest room, I heard Mac sigh to himself silently. It seemed to me that he had some troubles or something. I opened the door and turned on the lights to see there were two beds. Thank goodness. I really didn't feel like sleeping with another person I didn't really know.
"Which bed do you want?" He asked me quietly. Weird question for him to ask since the beds were exactly the same.
"I really don't care which one I have." I went over to the bed on the left and laid myself down while Mac did the same on the right. It was really more comfortable than my own bed at my house. "Wow, this bed is really comfortable!" There was silence between us until Mac decided to speak.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." I said. "You can ask me anything."
"Well, do you have any problems with gay people?"
"Are you joking with me?" I started to snicker but stopped as soon as I saw that he was wholly serious about this. "Oh um, I guess you are. Well for me, I don't have any problems with gay people. Heck, I don't even care if they are gay or not. Why did you ask me this?"
"Oh nothing. Just felt like asking." Mac had slipped under his covers as I did the same and fell asleep. And now here I am, in the living room, sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing. Why am I even awake in the first place? Maybe because I'm so used to waking up at this time to go to school. I suddenly heard footsteps behind me that was coming from the front doors. I rose from the couch to see who or what it was.
"Hey Josh! What are you doing up so early?" I saw Frankie with her jacket on carrying a shovel.
"I couldn't sleep anymore and this is the time I usually wake up to get ready for school. It looks like you're going to shovel, right?"
"Yeah. I always have to shovel when it snows this much out."
"Well would you like some help?"
"Sure! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Go get your jacket and I'll go get another shovel."
"Okay." I had started to walk back to my room where Mac and I had slept in but I stopped when I remembered that I didn't put my jacket there. I don't even remember where I had left it in this house. Where did I put that thing? I thought about it really hard and remembered that it was in the dining room. I had left on the chair when I ate dinner with the others. I ran to the dining room, grabbed my jacket and put it on me, and ran back to the front door.
"What took you so long?"
"I forgot where I put my jacket but I'm all ready."
"Good." She said while she handed me the other shovel. "Just so you know, we might have a little company soon."
"Why's that?"
"Well Bloo always gets excited when it snows the first day so he may come out soon." As soon as she said that, a voice screamed from the stairs near us.
"Who's ready for a snowball fight?"
"Keep it down Bloo! People are trying to sleep you know!"
"Whatever! So who's ready?"
"When you said soon, I wasn't expecting anyone to come right now."
"Neither was I. He came a bit earlier this time." Frankie opened the door and started to shovel the snow off the porch as I did the same to the door next to hers. Bloo immediately jumped into the snow leaving prints all over the place.
"You had better not interrupt us when we're shoveling Bloo." Bloo was too busy having fun to even notice that Frankie has spoken to him. As I looked straight ahead, I realized that this might take a long time since they have a big front yard.
30 Minutes Later"Well the porch is finally done. Now I'll go be right back all right? I'm gonna get some salt for the ice." She went back inside as I continued to shovel the walkway. I suddenly felt a something really cold and icy hit me. I ignored it, knowing it was Bloo. Not a minute later, another snowball hit me.
"Bloo! If you don't stop throwing snowballs, you're gonna regret it!" I heard Bloo snickering somewhere on the left side of the walkway but I was unable to see where he was. I continued to shovel but I stopped straight away when another snowball hit me.
"All right, that's it!" I dropped the shovel into the snow ahead of me and made my own snowball. "Come out so I can hit you!" I was able to dodge the incoming snowball and was able to see that it came from a tree. "So that's where you are!" I threw my snowball into the tree but I saw that it had hit some leaves.
"Your aim is so horrible! You can't throw a snowball for your life!" He laughed at me.
"Maybe if you didn't have that tree to cover you, I'd be able to hit you!"
"Oh please. This tree isn't covering me, it's just helping me destroy you." How can a tree help you win in a snowball fight? Actually it can do many things. "What's wrong? Did Bloo get your tongue?" This Bloo really knows how to annoy someone. I went over to the opposite side of Bloo's location and began to make my ammunition. I then felt another snowball hit my head.
"So, hitting people behind their backs huh? You're such a coward."
"Please, it's called strategy. Ever heard of it?" Strategy my… I got hit by another snowball again. That's it! He's going down! I began to throw snowballs at the tree, hoping that one of them would hit Bloo.
"Your aim is really bad, I gotta say."
"Shut up! Why don't you stop hiding in that tree and come down here and face me!"
"How many times do I have to tell you? It's called strategy." I'm really getting tired of hearing that word. I continued to throw snowballs but I could tell that none of them was hitting. When I paused, he threw a snowball at me, which I was able to dodge easily. But another one came just as quick and it hit my straight on the face. I could hear Bloo's laughter in the distance, which really pissed me off.
"Bloo! Would you leave him alone!" Frankie shouted. I then saw Bloo stuck his tongue out at me.
"When you come down, I'm so going to get you."
"You wish!" I walked back to Frankie to help her put the salt around the porch. I really hoped that he wouldn't throw any more snowballs at me. I don't think my head can take any more hits.
1 Hour LaterWe were finally halfway through shoveling the walkway. By now, some of the imaginary friends were up playing in the snow nearby.
"Josh, I just want to say thanks for helping me with this."
"No problem Frankie. Glad to do it." I said with a smile. The smile went away when I felt another snowball hit me. I really wanted to strangle Bloo right now but I couldn't. Only a few more snow to shovel and I'm out of here. Some of the friends that were awake were making snowmen or having snowball fights with each other.
"Does Bloo always act like this?"
"Yeah, although he wasn't acting like himself yesterday. And neither was Mac now that I think about it."
"So you mean to say that this is Bloo's real personality?"
"Yep. He always bothers everyone except for Mac.'
"Why's that?"
"Its cause Mac had created Bloo so they have a special bond."
"So Mac imagined Bloo? It's kinda weird since they both act quite the opposite."
"Yeah. I wonder how that came to be." We both continued to shovel until we had reached the front gate.
"You want to take a break before we finish up?"
"Definitely." We laid our shovels on the side of the gate. Frankie went back inside to do something while I decided to walk around the front.
"Bloo? Are you still up there?"
"Duh! Where else would I be?" I saw that he had shown himself to me and I was able to make a snowball and throw it directly at him. I laughed when he was covered with snow.
"You cheater!"
"Now how in the world did I cheat?"
"You talked to me to hit me!"
"That made no sense…." I heard him growl in annoyance.
"What's going on?" asked Frankie as she walked towards me.
"Oh nothing. I just hit Bloo with a snowball." She laughed.
"So someone finally got him."
"Hey Frankie!" We turned to face the new voice that was outside the gate.
"Hey Mike. What are you doing here?" What's Mike doing here I wonder. I knew that he was Mac's friend so maybe that means that he too comes here sometimes.
"I just wanted to know if Mac was here."
"He's inside. You wanna come in?" He nodded. He pushed the gate open through the snow and was able to get in. I jaw fell slightly when I saw him do this. This guy must be strong to push through at least 5 feet of snow. Or maybe I think he's strong because it's hard for me to do that. When I noticed that he was looking at me, I immediately looked somewhere else. As Frankie led Mike in, I saw snowballs being thrown at Mike.
"Bloo! Would you stop that!" shouted Frankie.
"It's all right. I'm used to this by now." Said Mike. Bloo mimicked what Frankie had said, which made her a bit angry it seems. As they entered Foster's, I saw Bloo climb down the tree and run over to me.
"Hey Josh, come with me." He whispered as he ran inside the house. I merely walked at my own pace back inside. I saw that Bloo was waiting at the front for me impatiently. "Would you hurry up!" I quickened my pace up a bit and followed Bloo into the dining room. I saw that Frankie and Mike were also in the room as well. I was suddenly pulled down into the ground thanks to Bloo.
"What was that for?"
"Shhh! Do you want to get seen?"
"Does it look like I care?"
"Yes, it does. Now you're going to help me get rid of Mike once and for all." I looked at him a bit skeptical.
"Now who said I was gonna help with this dumb idea of yours and why would you even want to get rid of him in the first place?"
"Because he keeps trying to take Mac away from me every time he's here!"
"I hardly believe that he would take Mac away." Although in the back of my head, something was telling me that Bloo was telling some truth.
"I don't care if you believe it or not. You're going to help me."
"Fine but only because I think it might be fun doing this. So what's your plan?"
"I was thinking of asking him to play hide and seek with us. Then we put a blindfold on him, lead him onto a highway, and leave him there." My jaw fell slightly.
"When you say get rid of him, what do you mean?"
"I mean to get him to stop coming over here."
"Oh okay, good. Do you have any other plan besides this one?"
"Well how about we put a blindfold him and push him off a cliff."
"Where are you getting these ideas from?"
"I just got it off a movie."
"And did that movie show what would happen if you pushed someone off a cliff or if you left them standing on a highway?"
"Yep. He vanished into the thin air."
"Yeah, I bet he did." I said sarcastically. "Your plans are so horrible! Why don't you just do tricks on him?"
"Tricks? As in magic tricks?"
"No dimwit. I mean like of putting water in a bucket and putting in on top of a door."
"I already tried that. And every time I did one of these tricks, Mac would get mad or yell at me for some reason."
"Gee, I wonder why."
"Yeah, me too." Wow, this guy is really….really……man I can't think of the word that describes this guy!
"Why don't you just annoy him?"
"Annoy?"
"As in keep bothering him."
"Isn't that the same as my 'tricks'"?
"Oh yeah. It is. Do it anyway."
"Fine." Bloo ran off while I went back to shut the front door. I walked back to the dining room to see that Bloo had just dumped a can of soda all over Mike. I stifled my laugher so the others wouldn't hear me.
"Bloo! Why do you always do this to him?"
"You already know why Frankie." I walked over to where the others were.
"That was rhetorical Bloo."
"Why are you people rhe….rhe…… ical all of a sudden?" Mike just stood there and was staring in my direction.
"Mike, do you have any spare clothes?" It seems that Frankie ignored his question.
"Nope."
"Maybe you should take a…. Bloo!" I couldn't hold in my laughter when Bloo poured another can of soda on him.
"Is this your hobby Bloo?"
"For you it is."
"Mike, go take a shower and I'll wash up your clothes." Frankie and Mike left the room leaving Bloo and me here.
"That was great Bloo!"
"Really? Do you want to see more?"
"Sure!" I always love these kinds of pranks. I followed Bloo into another part of the house. He soon led me in front of a door. I heard Frankie's and Mike's voice from the other side of the door.
"This will be great!" whispered Bloo. "Stay right here, I'll be right back."
"Wait, how did you know they were here?"
"Mike always uses this bathroom to shower." I'm guessing Bloo had done this before to him. Bloo ran off, leaving me here excited to see what he was gonna to do. I rushed over to the side when I heard the door open. Frankie walked out with Mike's clothes in hand and had shut the door behind her. I heard that Mike had entered the shower.
"Josh? What are you doing here?"
"I was just checking to see what's up."
"Well I'm sure you know what Bloo did." I nodded. "Can you stay here for a while? I'll be right back." About a few minutes later, I saw Bloo run over to me.
"So, what did you do?"
"You'll find out soon." He pressed his head against the door as I did the same. I suddenly heard screaming emerge from the bathroom.
"You actually flushed all the toilets in the house?" He nodded. I laughed once again.
"You're too funny!"
"Who and what's so funny?" I turned around to see who had spoken and saw that Mac was standing not far away.
