Lil note: There's some romance with Bloo and Rose in this chapter!

Chapter 3: Prettiest Girl in Foster's

Bloo marched down the hallways, pride in his steps, with me following him behind. He was explaining each and every room, and anybody who happened to walk by us. I was quite enjoying myself...except for the fact that Bloo has short-term memory of my name. I had no idea how many versions of my name he could think of...Roose, Roost, Ray, Riri...Bloo was now at Rosita (which doesn't sound half bad). What really bothered me was even if I corrected him, he wouldn't pay much attention and keeps calling me these bizarre names.

We had walked up to a room with a silver door. Bloo opened it and we walked inside.

"And this is the Laundry room!" Bloo explained. "Even though most of us have fur and well...fur-less, we usually have allot of socks, shoes, and underwear...trust me...those can get pretty dirty!"

"Wow..." I said admiring the room. "It's so clean!!"

"Hola, Bloo! Hola Rose!" Edwardo walked in with a basket of dirty laundry.

"Hello Edwardo!" I smiled. "How are you?"

"I am fine. Thank you for asking" Edwardo placed the dirty laundry basket down and started tossing clothes into one of the washing machines.

"Wow...that's allot of laundry you got..." I said. "Are they all yours?"

"No. This is just all of them from the third floor." Edwardo tossed in some more clothes.

"Yeah...there are over 100 imaginary friends here at Fosters." Bloo "So that's why there are so many floors."

"Yup...that does explain allot..." I said remembering Bloo saying that there are 6 floors (excluding the basement) and each floor has at least 16 rooms on each floor...so that comes to about 96 rooms in this house!!!"

Edwardo finished tossing in the last of the clothes. He added the laundry detergent, closed the door and turned the machine on.

"I'll see you guys later." Edwardo waved bye as he tromped out of the room.

I looked back around the room when I noticed a dirty green sock was left on the floor unnoticed. It must have fallen out from the pile when Edwardo was tossing the clothes in.

"Hey. Edwardo forgot this one!" Bloo had noticed the sock.

He and I went forward to put it in a washing machine, before we stopped to smell a horrible stench! It was from the sock!

"Ugh! That smells disgusting!" I said pinching my nose.

"Ya...somebody forgot to put this in the laundry...2 weeks forgotten!" Bloo said pinching his nose too. "We need to get this washed."

Bloo scurried over to a shelf full of detergents, soaps and sponges. There was a pair of rubber gloves in the shelf and Bloo slipped them on his hands. He also put a laundry pin on his nose to keep him from smelling the foul odor. I watched him cautiously approach to sock lying helpless on the floor. He picked it up extending his arms so it was not too close to his body.

"Boy, does this ever STINK!" Bloo walked over to a different washer and tossed it in.

He grabbed a box of detergent and started to put scoops in the washer...then tossed the detergent scooper and started pouring all of it in!

"Uhh...Bloo. Don't you think you should measure it first?!" I asked worried. "I mean it's just a sock...you don't have to use so much detergent! I think you should-"

"Relaaax Rina...I know what I'm doing. Besides this needs lots of detergent to get rid of the stink once and for all!" Bloo assured me.

I watched in remorse as he dunked the rest of the soap in. He then turned the machine on. The speed was HIGH. That's when I had to take some action cause this is gonna turn out bad.

"Bloo you're insane!" I exclaimed as I stood on the stool he was also on. "This is on way to high! And you put too much detergent in! We just need to-"

"Don't worry Rosa, It's all taken care of by the Bloo-myster, there's nothing wrong things will be fine. I know how to work a washing machine." Bloo said preventing me from doing anything.

Oh things are far from fine. A mile away from fine.

"Ok, first of all..." I said in an angered tone. "My name is not Rosa, or Rosita, or any kind of twisted name you could think of! My name is Rose! R-O-S-E, ROSE!! It's not that hard to memorize!!"

Bloo backed up in defence.

"...And secondly...YOU HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA HOW TO WORK A WASHING MACHINE!!!" I yelled.

Before I could have said anything more a loud rumbling came from the washer. Me and Bloo looked at it as bubbles were starting to pour out. The next thing ya know is the lid flipped open and bubbles filled the room like no tomorrow. I screamed as a blast of the soap pushed me down. Soapy bubbles were swirling everywhere around me and I kept my eyes closed so none would sting my eyes.

The machine was starting to settle down and gave one last cough of bubbles before it stopped. There was a big pyramid of bubbles covering everything in the room. Bloo jumped out, hiccupped some soap and brushed himself till he was bubble-free. Unfortunately for me...

"Hey! Somebody get me down! I don't like this height!" I screamed.

A bubble had formed around me and I was now floating up towards the ceiling.

"Rose! Don't worry I'll get you down!" Bloo called up.

I was about to thank him when I realized something...he called me by my actual name! He was actually listening when I told him to stop calling me by those petty names. How sweet of him!

"Uhh...so..." Bloo stared up at me "How do I get you down?"

Then again he's still a bit clueless... I thought.

"Pop this bubble! Throw a rock, a pin, something so I stop floating in the air!" I told him.

"A pin?" Bloo looked over to an ironing board. There were a couple pins scattered on it, and some rubber bands too. Bloo grinned as he figured out how to pop the bubble.

He took a pin and a rubber band and stood in a position not far from me. He made sure the sharp point of the pin was sticking out and aimed it at me with the rubber band, kinda like a sling shot. Good thinking Bloo!

It was until right then I realized how high I was.

"Uh...Bloo...w-wait! Don't fire it yet! I think I may be too h-"

Too late. Bloo released the rubber sending the pin straight at the bubble. It bursted into tinier bubbles and I began to fall screaming. My eye vision began to blur and then I forgot I was falling at all.

Bloo's POV

Ok...I screwed up right there. I didn't even realize how high she was until she began to fall...plus the screaming (I think she fainted along the way down). In anyway, she's goin for a hard crash landing unless I do something. I glanced around to see if there was anything I could use to break her fall (other than myself...I'm already a bit sore from the tumbling half an hour ago.)

I saw the dirty clothes first...they're pretty soft...but boy would she be mad at me if she found out she landed in a pile of crud. Then there were Madam Foster's clean comforter for her bed sitting in a basket. They are very big and fluffy...but grumpy, stubborn, old Herriman said not to touch them...they're "sacred" he says.

Big whoop! You buy them at a retail store, they have plenty more just like it! Of course Mr. Herriman is touchy and will probably lecture me for a long time (it's even worse than doing chores), but I'm running out of time here! Rose is seconds away from kissing the tile floor.

I ran as fast I could and grabbed hold of the comforter and flung it out of the basket and onto the floor. I positioned it so it was under Rose's shadow. I hope it has enough fluff to break the fall. I backed up and watched her fold into the comforter. There was a burst of feathers and fluff that flew around the room.

"Rose!" I ran up to her. She was still unconscious. "Rose! Are you o-"

I stopped and realized she wasn't blue anymore, she was the colour light fuschia now. She looked so much prettier. Before I knew it I was just gazing down at her.

Her eyes began to open. I'm still gazing and don't say anything.

"Ohh...wow...what a fall..." She said dazed.

She looked around noticing she was in a plushy sheet. She figured out what just happened and what I did.

"Oh thank you Bloo. I really appreciate you hel-" She noticed me gazing at her. Her cheeks turned red. "Umm...Bloo? ...W-why are you staring at me like that?"

OMG!! What's wrong with me? Why didn't I stop staring?! "S-sorry...I didn't mean to...ya know...stare like that..." I suddenly felt my face heat up.

Rose started to smile. It was very cute smile. "It's ok" She stood up. "C'mon you still have a tour to give me remember?" She then giggled.

"Umm...yeah! Right!" I said completely forgetting why we were here in the first place. "Let's press on!"

"Wait!" Rose cried out. "Where is it?? Where's my rose?? Oh no, not again! I can't lose it now! Why is it always missing??"

Rose began to cry. I wish I could help...but honestly I had no clue of where it could have gone to. That's when I saw one last bubble floating in the air...and the rose was contained in it. I jumped up to pop it and caught it in my hands. I crouched over to Rose.

"Looking for something?" I said sarcastically showing her the rose that dropped.

She gasped. "You found it! Oh thank you Bloo! Thank you so much, you've been so nice and considerate to me"

I placed the rose on the left handed side of her head just like before. She smiled warmly and now we were both gazing at each other.

"So, how bout' that tour?" I helped her up and she giggled again.

"Lead the way." She said.

I offered my arm and she linked hers in mine and we walked out. Just as we walked out Frankie was just about to walk in when she saw the mess. Slippery tile floor with soapy puddles and feathers all around.

"..." Frankie just stared. I speeded up me and Rose's pace.

"BLOO!!!" Frankie yelled loudly.

"And that is our cue to run!" I started to tug Rose along as we went into a dash.

"Oh Bloo...I'm having so much fun!" Rose squealed as we turned around the corner.

When the tour is over (night time)

"Well, this is your room." I brought Rose to a door on the third floor. Her room down the hall a bit far from my room. "If you see people in there don't freak out cause everybody pretty much has roommates here at Fosters"

"Thanks for the info, and thank you for the tour too, it was very fun and nice hanging with you!" She smiled again.

"Hey no problem. And if you need ANYTHING at all, my room is right down the hall. Just call the Bloo-myster!" I said coolly.

She laughed. "I won't forget it." She came a little closer to me and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Good Night..." She said smiling once more before entering her room and closing the door.

At first I had to take a few seconds just to figure out what happened, and when I did, a grin started to curl up on my face...probably the biggest grin I've ever shown. I started to walk away from her door, which turned to a dash, and then I was running crazily around the house.

"WAHOO!!!" I cried out as I ran.

Never had I ever been kissed before!!! It was awesome! (And it felt good too) I was so giddy, and hyper, and mad I just might lose my head! But I didn't care! I've been kissed! Kissed by the prettiest girl in Foster's!!

Candy-Gal75: Horray for Bloo! He's been kissed! Lucky boy! ;) But I'll let you all on a little secrete: Somebody has been watching Bloo and Rose together...and I don't think that person is very happy right now! Wait for the next chapter!!
