Chapter 11
Box of chocolates
Christopher smiled, as he took in the air. It was filled with the lovely smell of his Grandmother's cooking. She was staying at his house, for a week, since her house was invested with bugs. Her and his Great Grandmother (who was weirdly still alive, for her age) was cooking the turkey, with gravy and potatoes, also with other vegetables. His mouth watered at the thought of the sweet turkey in his mouth, and the warm gravy melting like butter on his tongue.
Christopher was wearing a green top, with a purple zipper over it. He also wore light blue jeans, and black sneakers. He looked quite hot in his clothes. His hair was in it's usual side combed over, with extra sexiness and style. He thumped down the stairs, and came to a halt outside the kitchen. He slowly opened the door, but his Great Grandmother stood in his way. "No way in hell are you allowed in here." she snapped. "But, I was going to get-.." began Christopher, when his Great Grandmother passed him an apple. "This will do you good." she replied, while slamming the swinging door. "I'm sure you need it more than me." he huffily said. "I heard that!" she screamed. She opened the door, and whacked Christopher over the head with her cane. He yelped in pain. His sister snickered, as she carried her tool box to her room. Her mother followed closely behind. "Sophie's Valentine's day present is in the living room." she commented smoothly. She laughed when she saw the look on his face. Hoagie walked out of the kitchen, with a turkey leg. His mother tried to grab it out of his hand. "Take your paws off the dinner!" she screamed. They all shook their shoulders in fright. Hoagie was almost dragged back into the kitchen, as his mother tried to use his Grandmother's walking stick to get the leg. It was no use.. He chewed all of the meat, and now was left was the bone. "Honey, Abby thinks the turkey is for dinner." Abby laughed. He smiled, and the pair entered the living room, as Christopher was leaving with his present.
"Lucky! Shut the fuck up!" Ben screamed, from his bedroom. "Ben, you shut the fuck up you lazy shit!" shouted his sister, Sophie. She was busy straightening her hair, as Kimi was rubbing Lucky's belly, in the living room. "I swear to the great Rainbow Monkey elder, if you piss me off today, I'll kill you!" Sophie shouted, unknowing that her brother was ignoring her. Kimi giggled, as Lucky licked her face. Sophie was putting on some lip-gloss, when the door banged. Her mother instantly ran for it. Her mother smiled, when she saw Christopher's face. "Hello, Dear." she grinned. Sophie happily shook her head at her mother's kindness. A Murderer could've been at the door, and she would still answer it kindly. Christopher looked beyond Kuki, and noticed Sophie. she was wearing a black hair-band in her long straightened hair. On her thin body, was a white dress, a white dolly shoes. She looked gorgeous, as Christopher looked marvellous. He almost pushed past Kuki. She didn't mind at all. She was grinning. "Do you like her dress? I bought her it at Christmas." smiled Kuki brightly. Knowing she did something that helped her daughter. Christopher gulped, and took hold of Sophie's hand. She giggled, as he blushed. "C'mon on Romeo and Juliet, out yous go." chuckled Kuki, as she pushed them out the door. Kimi laughed from the living room doorway.
"What shall we do today, my darling?" asked Christopher in a posh accent. Sophie smirked. "How about the best place in the world!" she stated, while he twirled her around in the air. Passer-bys gawked at the pair. They seemed either interested, or disgusted. "To Francine's!" screamed Christopher. Sophie softly shook her head. Her boyfriend dragged her along the pavement, towards Francine's Restaurant. A small Fruit and Veg shop stood on the right-hand side of the restaurant. It looked small compared to the restaurant. The restaurant was a white building, at the corner of the street. It rounded around the corner. A small apartment was above the restaurant, probably a one bed-room apartment.
A large sign, with the words Francine's Restaurant on it, in orange writing, sat above the middle window. On the left-hand side, had a large sign, saying Chef Patton in dull green writing. A small sign in black writing said Staff Wanted. I wonder if they would give me a job.. The small bell clanked, as Christopher opened the door. A blast of different smells irrupted from the restaurant.
"Hey Chris." waved Dave Kurtsey from behind the counter. He was the new ice-cream server. "What can I get you?" he called. "Two caramel and hot fudge sundaes, please." smiled Christopher. Dave saluted him. Sophie sat down in a booth. The seats were red, and the tiled floor was pure white. "So, shall we reveal our presents?" suggested Sophie. Christopher gulped. He somehow knew she was going to hate his present. They both brought out their gifts. They looked somewhat the same size. "Wow.." laughed Sophie. She took the nicely wrapped box, and began to rip at it. She gasped, as she saw the Caramel chocolates in the box. "Oh God." she said, while slapping her forehead. "What?" he asked curiously, and worried. "Open yours." she replied sadly. Christopher ripped opened his, and saw the box of chocolates. They were fudge, but other than that they looked identical to Sophie's. "So.. We got the same gift?" he asked. "Yeah." she nodded. They both chuckled, and Christopher opened his box first. "Want one?" he asked sweetly. "I thought you wouldn't ask." she said. "Here's your sundaes, you Crazy lovebirds." laughed Dave. He placed them down quickly, as the queue for Ice-cream got bigger. He rolled his eyes, and quickly went back behind the counter. He took in the orders, couples as many as anyone could see, made a queue outside. The queue was quite long. "Lucky we got here a bit early." stated Sophie. She took a chocolate from his box, and dropped it into the Sundae. Christopher smiled, and placed the ice-cream in his mouth. It gave his tongue a tingle. It was refreshing, and cold. "So, what is the plans today?" asked Sophie, curiously. "Hmm. Well there's this new Carnival, that has opened up. Trevor and Louise is at it. It's really up to you." he smiled, sweetly. Her heart nearly melted. "That sounds fun too." she replied. The chewed their sundaes, and laughed at each other's jokes.
As the pair continued their chats, a boy that seemed somewhat older than the two, walked over to them. He had shaggy blonde hair, dark brown skin, and dark grey eyes. He was wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt, and dark grey shorts. On his feet, were white sand-shoes. He grinned at the pair. They both saluted. "Soopreme Leader." they both whispered, as they stood up. He ushered them down. "No need for that." he replied softly. "Numbuh T386, what are you doing here?" questioned Sophie. "Well, Numbuh T34, I need your help. Susan and Rebecca have teamed up with the pirates, and are attacking the Tree house, in Scotland. All the other Operatives have gone on holiday, or are busy keeping the other pirates away from their Tree house. The only Tree house that is not being attacked is the one on the Moon, Mars and of course yours." he replied worriedly. "Can you help?" he asked sadly. "Sure sir, we'll get the team assembled, or at least most of it, and others. We'll leave soon as." saluted Christopher. Sophie gazed at her boyfriend. She loved it, when he looked heroic. A S.C.A.M.P.E.R landed outside, and all three them stood up and left. They entered the vehicle. Excitement and fear was in the air. They picked up some other kids, but all of their team were busy on dates and were hard to find. Sophie grabbed hold of Christopher's hand. He blushed slightly. The plane slowly descended down, and they landed smoothly on the grass, after an short hour trip. "And here's Scotland." smiled the Soopreme Leader. He saw their faces. "But, it's raining." said one of the kids. Sophie sighed. "Emergency Weather-proof jackets." she stated. She took out a small black bag, and it opened up to reveal see-through jackets. "I always come prepared." she said softly. Christopher laughed, and they all took the jackets. They all descended from the plane, and into the freezing Summer rain. Grassy hills, and sheep baaed in the distance. A small Tree house stood, with a small pirate ship outside. "Let's kick ass!" shouted Sophie, while others nodded. "The best date ever." chuckled Christopher. They all ran towards the Tree house to beat some pirates, and to take some of their candy.
