Thank you for reading my story thus far! I am amazed at how many people have read this story, and I thank you all.
I would just like to quickly point out that the spelling mistake in the last chapter – when John said bran rather than brain – was supposed to be a mistake that John made. It was a deliberate mistake on my part. Thank you to the people who pointed it out though, good spotting!
Now let's jolly on with the story. This is set a few days after the last chapter.
Normal is Mrs Hudson
Italics is John
Bold is Sherlock
10:25am
Hello John dear, how are you? How's Harry?
I'm fine. Look, this time let's skip the faffing around, what do you want? Is your phone malfunctioning again? What can I do for you this time?
Nothing, John! My phone is…fine. Fine. I was just asking how you are, and your dear sister.
You don't like my sister.
Have I ever said that? I've never said that. Not out loud, anyway.
It's as plain as the nose on your face, Mrs Hudson. You don't need to be my flatmate to work it out.
So what is it this time? Is your phone negative again? Have you lost your phone perhaps? Ringer acting up? I'll try to help you, even though I'm sure my flatmate could do so much better, seeing as he's so much better at everything than anybody else in the world!
I'm sorry Mrs Hudson. That was out of order. Can I help you?
Nothing, John. I have said.
Are you sure?
Perfectly sure. How's dear Harry?
She's fine, and so am I. Now if you'll excuse me, have to go now.
Goodbye John, I'll talk to you some other time then.
2:39pm
Sherlock, could you help me with my phone please?
I tried asking John, but he seemed…distracted.
He wasn't distracted, he was angry at me because he still blames me. His week with his sister is not going as well as he hoped it would, and he regrets leaving Baker Street but would never admit it. His text to you was quite cutting, and although he apologised, you were still wary of asking him your question. Now, what is wrong with your phone?
Wow. You got all that from one text?
Two texts, actually.
Wow. I'm surprised you don't know what's wrong with my phone.
I do know, I was giving you a chance to ask.
Go to the menu, then to Settings, then to the third option down. Set that to 'off' and you will be fine.
Wow. Again. How do you do that?
I'm busy with a body, no time to explain.
So…you're a busy body?
Get it? Busy with a body?
Busy body?
Oh come on Sherlock, that joke was funny.
Sherlock?
Have a nice day, Mrs Hudson. Goodbye.
Goodbye, Sherlock.
