Flushed Away II: Down the Drain

by Psi Kat

You know what? I was thinking about Flushed Away, and guess what? IT'S A STUPID MOVIE! It was SO stinking bad! Happy Feet was SO MUCH BETTER!

...GOTCHA!

Lol, my friend Netaro suggested I do that. (grins)

Anyway, onto chapter two!

See previous chapter for disclaimer and explanations.

"What about April?"

The question was from Rita. She and Roddy were having dinner and trying to plan their wedding. So far, they hadn't gotten very far with either.

"April might be nice...not too cold, not too hot," Roddy said slowly. Rita nodded. "That was my thinking. Plus, not a lot of couples get married in April, so we might get things a lot cheaper as well," she added. Roddy nodded. He did not look too excited. Rita frowned at him. "What's with you today, Roddy? You look about as happy as a barnacle." Roddy sighed. "I guess I just didn't realize so much went into planning a wedding," he said. Rita didn't buy it. "That's not the only reason," she guessed softly. Roddy shifted. He swore sometimes that Rita could read minds. "It's just...oh, I don't know," he said. Rita then got up and went to Roddy's side. She sat beside him and put her arm around his shoulder. "What is it, Roddy?" she asked, a little more stern this time. Roddy hung his head. "I guess...I don't know...I'm..." "You're scared," Rita finished for him.

Roddy stood up at once. "I am not scared!" he said, though in truth that's exactly what it was. "It's just that, I, well..." he faltered when he saw Rita's you-can't-fool-me expression. His shoulders slumped. Embarrassed, he turned around. "Okay, maybe I am scared," he said. "But it's perfectly fine. I'll get over it." Rita got up again and joined Roddy. "It's not going to help if you don't acknowledge what your scared of," she chided him. He glared suddenly at her. "I don't have to acknowledge anything!" he snarled. Rita was stunned, but quickly recovered. "You don't have to yell at me!" she growled. "And you don't have to yell at me!" Roddy snapped back. "Well, if that's the way you feel, then good night Roderick St. James of Kensington!" Rita then stormed below to find a sleeping spot where she wouldn't be near him.

"Hit the road, Jack...and don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more...hit the road, Jack...and don'tcha come back no more..."

Roddy watched her go with an evil little grin. Then he steered the boat towards land and jumped off. Above, that someone was still watching with glee. "This is working exactly as planned!"

GASP! What's wrong with Roddy? Who's the mysterious someone? Why isn't the moon made of cheese?

Well, read, review, and you might just find out!

See ya later!
