Sharp23: Sorry for the long wait everyone. As I told you before in the last chapter, you can blame my teachers and their stupid projects. So I'm sure some of you have been waiting for an update so here it is! Enjoy!
Ami: Yeah, I really want to improve my writing skills. Thanks for commenting on Bloo and telling me what I should improve on. Although I don't think this chapter as much of a change on telling who is speaking but next chapter, I'll try and make it more understandable to bear with me on this chapter.
Thwishy: I know right? There's like only 5 stories of this pairing which really makes me sad and most are discontinued.
Disclaimer: I don't own Foster's or its characters. The only thing I do own is the plot and the OC's.
Misconceptions - Chapter 5
Hallway of Foster's (Mac's POV) (8:14 AM)
From where I was standing, I saw Bloo and Josh leaning against the door trying to listen to something. The door suddenly opened, making Josh crash onto the floor leaving Bloo to fall on top of him.
"Ow! Watch what you're doing!" screamed Josh. Both Bloo and Josh were looking at someone that was apparently inside the room. I didn't know who the person was until I walked over to where Josh was. I saw Mike undressed with a towel wrapped around his waist. For some reason, I felt my face get hotter.
"Hey Mac. Did you know your imaginary friend was picking on me again?"
"Again?" I turned to face Bloo to ask. "Bloo, please don't tell me you did something to Mike again."
"It wasn't my fault!" He began to plead his innocence. "I swear! It was all Josh's idea!" Said Bloo as he pointed below him.
"What? I never told you to do any of the sort!"
"Yes you did you liar!" For a few seconds, Josh remained quiet until he decided to speak.
"All right! Get off my back." Bloo slowly got off and stood up as Josh also stood up. He slowly leaned on the wall behind him. "I did tell Bloo to do those things."
"Why would you ask him to do that?" questioned Mike. But that question wasn't going to be answer any time soon as we heard Frankie's voice calling Josh down to help her finish shoveling.
"Well that's something I don't have to answer. See ya!" He said as he ran off to meet Frankie downstairs. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bloo trying to sneak off. I was able to grab him before he reached the corner.
"And where are you going?"
"Um… I was going to….."
"Sneak off?" I sighed tiresomely. "Bloo, how many times do I have to tell you to leave Mike alone?"
"Only like a million times!"
"Then why don't you listen to me for once?"
"Because every time Mike comes here, he always tries to take you away somewhere."
"Wait, that's the reason why you've been doing all those mean things to Mike?"
"Well yeah." I felt a hand touch my shoulder, which made me turn to see who it was. It was Mike, who had a smile on his face for some reason.
"Forget about it Mac. I'm sure Bloo means well." I turned back to Bloo to give the final statement.
"This is the last time I'll tell you this Bloo, don't mess around with Mike and please, for my sake, leave him alone."
"Hmph." I saw him cross his arms together. When I had let go of Bloo, he immediately walked away without saying a word.
Outside Foster's (Josh's POV)
There wasn't much left to shovel when I got out. We only had to do the sidewalk and we were finished. I shoveled the last part of the sidewalk as Frankie was putting some salt everywhere.
"Yes, we're finally done!" screamed Frankie to the cloudy sky. "If it wasn't for you Josh, this would have taken me at least half of my day to finish." I smiled inwardly.
"Thanks I guess. I just wanted to also say thanks for letting me sleep the night."
"No problem Josh." She smiled happily. I then remembered that I had to get home before my parents could wake up. I didn't want them to worry much.
"Um, I should probably get going now. I want to get home before my parents could wake up."
"Oh sure." As I handed her the shovel, she held out a small card. "Here, if you ever want to work here, you're welcome to. This is the number of Foster's." I took the card and neatly placed it into my pocket.
"I didn't know you were hiring."
"Well we really aren't but I think it's time I should get an assistant to help me around the house." I chuckled.
"I'll think about it. Later." I started to walk home, hoping that I wouldn't have to shovel my own yard when I got there.
Bloo's Room (Bloo's POV)
Why do I always get in trouble by Mac? I don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing to Mike. Maybe it's something I can't see. I paced back and forth, thinking what the reason could be. When I began to think hard, it began to hurt me. I rubbed my forehead to try and relieve the pain. Wow, thinking hard is hard. I should probably let someone else do the thinking for me. But who should I ask? Wilt? No, I doubt he would be able to know why I do these things in the first place. Eduardo? Nah, he probably would just tell me to be good and don't do these things like Mac tells me to do. Coco? Nope, don't want to give her the thing to blackmail me. I got it! I'll just ask Mr. Herriman and Frankie. I left the room and began to head for his office.
As I passed numerous doors, I found a door that was hardly open. I peered inside and saw that Mac and Mike were inside talking. I was able to listen to what they were saying.
"So, what are you doing here Mike?"
"Well I came here to pick you up and to tell you that your mom called my house and asked where you were and said you were sleeping over due to the snowstorm."
"You did? Thanks. I was trying to find some excuse to tell my mom but now I don't have to. And why did you come to pick me up?"
"So we can meet Jess and go out somewhere like the mall."
"Somewhere?"
"Well I'm sure Jess will know where to go." I can't believe it! I knew the moment Mike came, he was going to take Mac out again!
"All right fine. Just let me go get my stuff and your clothes before we leave. I really don't want to see you without any clothes."
"You don't like seeing me undressed? I'm hurt."
"Whatever. I'm going to get Frankie to see where your clothes are." I saw Mac stand up from the bed. Now's the time for me to go. When I turned, I saw Frankie giving me a strange face.
"Bloo? What are you doing?"
"I……was…….uh……." I turned back to see Mac inches away from the door. "I was checking the wall to see if there was……um…… termites!"
"Really?" Mac had opened the door fully and stared at Frankie and me.
"What are you guys doing out here?" I was about to say something but Frankie cut me off.
"I was here to bring Mike's clothes to him until I saw Bloo spy….." I immediately cut her off so she wouldn't say what I was doing.
"I was spitting on the wall! See?" I spat on the wall to prove my point.
"That's disgusting Bloo. But really, it was more like you were eav….." I began to cut her off once again.
"More like eating cookies!"
"Cookies? You're not eating any cookies."
"Well I was going to if you didn't stop to talk to me Frankie."
"What?" Looks like she's mad now. "Listen you! You were here stan……" I couldn't believe my luck. Someone else had stopped her from talking.
"Ms. Frances! Where are you? I must have a word with you."
"Grrrrrr……here! Take his clothes!" Frankie shoved Mike's clothes into Mac's arms. She stomped away as I began to leave myself. I stopped immediately when I heard Mike's voice.
"Um, what's going on here?"
"Oh nothing. Here are your clothes." I decided to keep on walking and leave them be until Mac called me.
"Hey Bloo!" I didn't turn to see him.
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going somewhere with Mike. I'll be back later."
"Yeah, sure." I suddenly felt something thrust itself into my heart. I remembered then and there that Mac was the one who told me that I had a heart and what it represents and what it does for you. But why was it hurting? I continued to walk and thought about how much I loathed Mike. I had reached Herriman's office and heard loud shouting inside. I opened the door and saw that those voices belonged to Herriman and Frankie.
"What do you mean I can't hire someone?"
"I'm sure exactly why you know why."
"But that's a stupid reason!"
"Ms. Frances! If I let you hire someone else, who knows what might happen in this household."
"Well let me tell you what would happen. I would get my chores done in half the time!"
"I'm sorry but no is no!"
"Oh really?" said Frankie in a mischievous voice. I saw Mr. Herriman gulp. "Then I guess I'll have to call Madame Foster and tell her how you won't let her only granddaughter to have some help around the house." As she reached for the phone, Mr. Herriman quickly put his hands over it.
"That won't be necessary Ms. Frances! Um, you can have Josh as your assistant."
"Great!" Assistant? What's an assistant? And Josh is going to be this so called assistant? Does this mean he's going to stay here or something?
"Master Blooregard, may I ask why you're here?"
"Well," I said as I walked up to his desk next to Frankie. "Can you tell me why Mac gets mad when I do things to Mike?"
"Because it's annoying and mean." Answered Frankie.
"Plus, it's not right to do any of the sort." Added Mr. Herriman.
"What do you mean it's not right?" I asked.
"I mean that it's immoral."
"Immoral?" I heard Mr. Herriman sigh.
"Ask someone else. I have no time to answer these questions." I looked over to Frankie.
"Don't look at me. I have chores to do but why don't you ask Mac instead of us?"
"Well he doesn't have the time for me. He's going somewhere with Mike."
"Oh, then ask Wilt or one of those guys you're always with."
"Fine." Frankie walked out, leaving me here in the office. I looked over to Herriman and saw he was busy with some papers. I also saw a stack of papers standing up neatly. I decided to push them down and so I did. I ran off hearing him call my name. I laughed so much when I saw his face. I walked all over the house in search off Wilt, Coco, and Eduardo. I managed to find Eduardo and Coco in the same room in the kitchen. But when I did, I really didn't feel like asking those two, so I went off in search for Wilt. I wasn't able to find him anywhere in the house but someone had told me that he was outside playing basketball. So I went over to the courts and found him playing basketball.
"Hey Wilt!"
"Hey Bloo. How's it going?"
"Just the usual. Wilt, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Bloo." He said as he made a basket. "Let's talk over there." He pointed over to the benches. We both went over and sat down. "So, what do you want to ask me?"
"Well, would you happen to know why I get in trouble by Mac when I do things to Mike?"
"That's easy to answer. It's because it's not right and it's mean."
"I know that already. But why is it not right?"
"Hmm, that's a tough question." A few seconds passed when Wilt answered. "I have no idea why it's wrong Bloo. You should really ask someone else. Sorry." I sighed. Can't anyone answer my question? I walked away in search of Frankie to ask her again. I found her using the drill to fix a door.
"Frankie, no one could answer my question."
"Really? That's surprising. I was expecting for at least one of them to know. Well Bloo, you can always ask Josh, perhaps he has the time to tell you."
"That's a great idea!" He doesn't know that much about me so he'll be able to tell me why without lying to me. "When is he coming here?"
"I don't know. But I hope he gets here soon." She said as she continued to drill nails.
Somewhere 20 Minutes away from Foster's (Josh's POV)
I can't believe my parents actually said yes! I was on my way to Foster's to work and I felt really happy and excited that I didn't have to shovel the snow at my house and that I'm able to work there. I think that it might be fun working here with Frankie. As I trudged through the snow, I saw this pink thing having a hard time walking through the snow.
"Um, excuse me. Do you need some help?" I asked the pink thing. When it turned, I found out that it was an imaginary friend.
"Would you?" By the voice, I could tell that it was a girl.
"Sure. Just hop on my shoulders." I crouched down and helped her to get up. When she got on, I got up and started to walk again. "So, where are you headed off to?"
"I'm going to Foster's." replayed the friend.
"Oh really? I'm heading there as well. What's your name?"
"It's Berry."
"That's an original name you got."
"You think my name is original?"
"Sure. I don't think anyone else has a name like that. Are you planning to live at Foster's?"
"Yep, and I'm going to see my one true love again."
"Aw, that's sweet. And can you tell me who your true love is if you don't mind."
"My one true love is Bloo." My jaw nearly came off.
"Really? You love Bloo?" She nodded. "Well does he feel the same way?"
"Oh I don't know. Last time I saw him, he was so attached to Mac. But I hope he isn't now." Somehow, I think it's the opposite of what Berry's expecting. A few minutes had passed when we reached the gates.
"Well we're here." Berry had jumped off my shoulder and pushed open the gate, we both entered the front yard carefully as to avoid the ice patches. I couldn't wait to get inside and I could tell that Berry also couldn't wait.
Sharp23: I know this chapter might seem rushed to you but I'm sure you already know the reason. I hope you guys liked this chapter and continue on to the read the next chapters. Review!
