Sorry it's been a while I just haven't had time to update! If anyone is interested, I have set up a role-play on my forum "the complete forum of professor Layton" so have a look please! Ok, lets see how the painting goes…
Hannah's point of view
"I thought you said you weren't going to wear those!" I exclaimed as Luke appeared wearing the outfit I gave him. "Well, I couldn't find anything else…" he said
"I think I know where there might be some, just wait there a minute." I said before running down the steps. I picked up the clothes from the ironing pile (Creased clothes are better than ones that are stained!) and then I got the camera…
"here you go, but wait before you get changed!" I announced and held up the camera. Flora and the professor laughed, and Luke face palmed, but still laughed a bit anyway. "Get it over and done with." he sighed in a jokey fashion. I took the pictures and said "Those are ones I am never deleting!" with a huge grin on my face.
"You go get changed luke. We'll start opening the paint." flora informed, and I went to open some windows "Why are you doing that?" flora queried
"Have you ever smelled wet paint?" I asked her
"Good point." she replied. Then luke came back "that was quick." I said "are we ready to open paints?
Just as luke was starting to open the white, the professor removed his hat and placed it on the landing, we all looked at him in amazement and he smiled "I cant have it getting covered in paint now, can I?"
"No professor, that wouldn't be any good." luke said cheerily.
Luke finished opening the white paint and poured it into a tray. "Which wall is this going on?" he asked "that one there." I pointed at the one behind him, the only one without a window or door. "great, lets get started!"
We grabbed a roller each, luke moved the step ladder when he had got his roller and told us he was going to do the top. I did the middle, flora did the left, and the professor did the right.
After about 20 minutes or so the professor asked us "would anybody like a cup of tea. The answer was a resounding yes. He came back with a new blend I hadn't seen before "What's this one called?" Flora inquired
"Painters delight of course!" he replied with a smile.
We finished our tea and the professor stood up to carry on "Hershel don't! Stand in that…" I said a fraction too late, the professor had stood in the paint tray. He turned to us with a grimace of utter disgust and lifted his foot out of the tray and started to pull his sock off "Would you like a fresh pair of socks?!" Luke said through giggles, and then the rest of us started giggling too, even the professor "I think I may need luke, its not a matter of would I like!" he informed, causing us to giggle further.
Luke went into the bedroom and reappeared with a pair of socks, "Here you go Hershel, we'll have to have a ceremony of throwing the painted sock in the bin later on."
The rest of the day seemed to go pretty quickly, and about 4 hours later we had a beautiful peach, green, yellow and white nursery. "It looks wonderful doesn't it." I said and everyone agreed "Though I must ask, what are all the tester pots for?" Enquired the professor. Luke and I looked at each other "You'll find out soon enough." was my simple reply.
After the professor and flora went home luke and I crashed out on the sofa. "is it Monday tomorrow?" queried luke
"No, its Sunday tomorrow!"
"Really?! We can relax then."
"Maybe, but that room needs furniture!"
"Leave that thought for a while please!" luke groaned but in a joking way.
"We'll see." I smiled
I wanted to make someone stand in paint, and the professor was on the receiving end of that thought, sorry professor, I love you really! Cant wait for next time! Hannah.
