Hello, here I am! Yes, I am going to update! Hoorah! Okay, here we go!

CHAPTER 4 – AUDREY MEETS AUDREY II

I am not known for my passion. Or love of anything. The next day arrived and Seymour fed me without complaint. I was proud. My boy was learning quickly. It would not be far off when I could get him to do anything for me, without question. Perhaps I could repay him by getting rid of his enemies.

I spied the girl, Audrey, as she came into the shop and nodded at her. Seymour spun around. "Audrey!" he gasped. "Uh, you're here early!"

"Yes," she replied, "I thought I'd help you set up shop today. Is that all right?"

Seymour blushed. "Of course," he said. As Audrey went to the back room, Seymour leaned down to me. "Did you see that Audrey II? She wants to help me set up today!"

"How nice for you," I hissed. It may have been possible that I was feeling a hint of jealousy for the boy. He was mine! How dare that girl try to mozie on in on MY relationship!

…That's what they're called, right? Relationships?

But Seymour did not notice my annoyance with him at all and left me alone to go to the girl. I grumbled to myself. Leave me alone, will he? Not if I had anything to say about it! I hopped to the edge of the counter and threw myself off. The pot I was in shattered with a loud SMASH!

"Seymour!" I called in a pathetic voice. He must've heard, for the boy came running out to me.

"Audrey!" he exclaimed, "Oh poor Audrey II! How did this happen?"

I pretended to look hurt and let out a fake cough. "I don't know," I wheezed, "Something, or someone must've pushed me off! I can't do it on my own!" Yes, I could, but what was I going to say? Hey, I knocked myself off to get your attention? No way!

"Audrey!" he called to the girl, "I need to go get another pot for Audrey II! Can you watch over it?"

The girl came out of the back room. "Well of course," she replied. "Don't worry, Seymour, I'll take good care of this plant."

Seymour sighed with relief. "Thanks, Audrey," he said, "I'll be back soon." And he left the shop, running.

Audrey turned to me. "Let's get you cleaned up," she said, getting a broom. She picked up what was left of my dirt and roots and set me on the counter. Then she started sweeping the floor. I would've glared at her.

"Who do you think you are?" I hissed. The girl started, dropping the broom and looking around.

"Who said that?" she asked.

"Right here," I replied. She looked at me and stared, her eyes widening. "You think you can take my boy away from me?" I asked, "Do you? Seymour's mine, girl, and you can't have him."

"That's impossible," Audrey whispered, "You're a plant! Plants can't talk!"

"Well I can," I growled, "Now stay away from Seymour, if you know what's good for you!"

The girl nodded and slowly backed away, inching towards the back room until she disappeared.

No one would take my boy away from me. No one. I would make sure of that…

How do you like that? Twoey's jealous! Sorry for taking so long to update, but hopefully I'll get along to updating more. Remember to read and review!
