Chapter 19

Picnic For Two

"See ya later mate." called Trevor. Christopher waved, as he finished collecting the perfect ingredients for the picnic. He always wondered why picnics were so romantic, but he was still trying to work it out. Ever since Trevor told him, that chicks dig the picnic thing, also he had no idea to do for a date. He began whistling as he entered his house. His mother was hovering, while his sister was playing with her hamster. She had gotten him last year for winning the Science Year.. Yet again. She named him, Herbert. He was a light white colour, with a brown patch on his tummy.

Sophie sang a joyfully tune. Today was her date with Christopher, and nothing will ruin it. She brushed her raven back hair. She felt like Snow White with the pale complexion and long black hair. She sighed a sigh of relief. "Hey, sis." giggled Kimi. Charlie was right behind her. "Oh hey." she said happily. "Date?" asked Charlie, while noticing Sophie's outfit. She was wearing a pink dress with light yellow polka-dots, but the shoulders were light blue. "Yeah, and Chris is coming soon." sang Sophie. Kimi laughed, as she took hold of Charlie's hand and wandered off to her bedroom. Her father was hot on her heels. No daughter of his will leave her bedroom door closed, with a boy. Not in his house. Kuki quickly dragged him back down stairs before he could do anymore damage. Sophie just loved her normal family.

Christopher knock on Sophie's front door. He was wearing blue denim jeans, a yelow and red top which had a black guitar on it. She jumped down the stairs, making a horrid racket. But at the door she gracefully opened the door. "Hey." she said, while kissing Christopher's cheek. He grinned. "C'mon we need to go, I have the picnic." he smiled, as he held a picnic basket. Sophie squealed, and the pair of them were off. "Isn't it nice to be young." sighed Kuki. Wally shrugged his shoulders. "well, when were their age, you were pregnant and I had to leave for University." he replied. (Spoiler for my next story) "Yes, but I feel so old now." she said quickly. "Well Kooks, that is how life is. It's cruel, but that's just the way it is. Anyway you're only thirty seven." he replied while turning off the television. He grabbed hold of Kuki's waist and wheeled her around. She fell onto his lap. "Gotcha." he chuckled. Kuki giggled, as she kissed him softly on the lips. A squeal was heard from a near by room. Hailey and Zack must have awoken from their slumber. "Mummy's coming." called Kuki. She quickly ran towards the room. Wally groaned. He must be cursed, because every time he tried to be romantic the twins always scream. He was beginning to think his three year-old twins were plotting something against him.

Sophie sat down on the grass. Children were playing on the swing park. An old man was giving out bread to the birds, and some swans were swimming around in the large pond. "This is my favourite spot." she proclaimed. She lay down on the green mat. Christopher handed her a sandwich. "I know, that's why we're here." he replied softly. She nuzzled against him. "You're so warm." she said. He chuckled. The sun was still high up in the air, but he did not care. He was enjoying the brilliant time. Everything was peaceful, and in balance with each other. He lay back, while chewing on his jam sandwich. Their sitting area was near a large tree, which held apples. A few tried to pick them, but no one was able to reach them. They were all high up in the tree. "I'm really in a mood for an apple." stated Christopher. "Well, why don't you try it, Chris the Brave?" she replied, while laughing at the name she gave him. "Well, maybe I will." he laughed. He then stuck his tongue out at her, as he got up from the ground. He strolled over to the tree. It stood in front of him, like an enemy, he had to take it out. He jumped and tried to get the lowest hanging apple that dangled. But he did not prevail. Chris then tried to climb up the tree, but somehow the tree's trunk was slimy. He walked pack to Sophie. She was laughing, while some passer-bys were giggling too. "It's so not funny." he said. "I beg the differ." she replied. He then launched himself at her, as he tickled her. She squealed, as he chuckled.

"That is so un-fair that mum is making us stay with him!" demanded Rebecca. "I know I hate them as well, but at least she's happy. And he is our step-dad." replied Susan. "Don't say that. He will never be our step-dad. He's just a guy mum likes! And she's obviously confused!" Rebecca shouted. A few passer-bys stared at her. Susan nervously scratched the back of her head. "Well, I guess I need to go pack." she said. She then walked away from Rebecca, and went towards her house. Rebecca began kicking a can. It was now crushed like ash. She had a very powerful kick. "Stupid Herbie! Stupid fancy house!" shouted Rebecca. She noticed a familiar pair of couple sitting near a tree. She grinned, as she came up with a wicked plan. "So, what do you wanna do after this?" asked Sophie. "To be honest I don't mind sitting here all night." replied Christopher. "Yeah same, well until like ten.. After that it will get cold." smiled Sophie. She kissed him softly on his lips. "Well, well, isn't it the perfect couple." said a voice. Sophie jumped. "Oh, it's just you Rebecca.. Wait where is your sister?" asked a curious Christopher. "She's in the house." replied Rebecca. "So, what do you want?" asked Sophie. She knew today, would have something ruining it. Last month it was her being stuck in a taxi, which never stopped until outside of Cleveland. The guy did not understand English. The month before that she broke her leg, so she couldn't go swimming, and then the one before that was terrible. She was grounded for being drunk, and calling her father a .. well a very bad word. "Just saying hello." Rebecca replied sweetly. Sophie eyed her up. She was up to something. "Anyway, need to go. I have a suitcase to pack." Rebecca said. She gave Sophie a hug. Christopher sat staring the pair. Sophie almost choked on her packet of crisps. "Anyway bye." she said. She then skipped off happily. "Did she have a meltdown or something?" asked a shocked Chris. Sophie shrugged her shoulders. "I need to burn this dress now!" she cried. Christopher began chuckling. He just loved his girlfriend. Everything was peaceful, until..

"That was brilliant." said Rebecca out loud. She held her suitcase in her hand. She was going to get them back, once and for all. They will defiantly be getting grounded for a life-time. "What did you do?" asked her mother. She was standing outside the new house. "Nothing.." lied Rebecca. "You better not lie to me. I don't want anymore trouble from you, or your sister. And if you've started another fight with Nigel Uno's daughter, I swear to God I will ground you for a month." said Lizzie furiously. "Well, it's only a prank. And that fight I rightfully won. She cheated." Rebecca replied quickly. "It better be on anyone but the Sector V kids, or I will behead you." she said. Herbie called from the kitchen. "Coming darling." she shouted sweetly. She stood up from the little white bench, which was seated on the porch. Rebecca rolled her eyes. "Let me take that off you." she said sweetly. She pulled the suitcase into the house, with her daughter behind her. Susan was in the living room playing a video-game on the television. Herbie gave Lizzie in trouble for moving the suit-case, since she was seven months pregnant. "I see you're getting comfortable." stated Rebecca. "Well, it's much nicer here, than home. At least Herbie isn't a drunk, and the T.V is still here." snapped Susan. Rebecca stood staring at her sister. She never snapped back at her. Ever. "At least Dad cares for us!" Rebecca shouted. "And what Herbie doesn't?.. He's always nice, and kind to us. Dad only is nice to us when it suits him!" screamed Susan. Rebecca shook her head violently. "You're wrong! Dad is a better man, than he will ever be! He's nice, has a good job and he's good looking!" screamed Rebecca. She sprinted out of the house, before her mother could waddle in to see what was going on. Susan had tears in her eye. She rarely cried in front of her mother, but since she changed she could share everything. "Mum, it's all my fault!" she cried. Herbie dished out the dinner, as Susan cried her heart out on her mother's shoulder.

"I guess we need to go now." suggested Christopher. It was nearly eight, and it was pitch black outside. "Yeah, since we don't have a torch." she replied softly. She grabbed his hand, while he held the basket in the other. A police siren sounded, and stopped. They stood still. The police officer walked over to them. Sophie was about to grab a juice from the basket, when the officer alerted other officers on his walkie-talkie. "I've found the picnic basket thieves. They're at the pond." he said. Christopher ran with Sophie towards the exit. The officer ran after them, as he fired his gun. "Rebecca knew we would be here! That is why she was all friendly! It makes sense now! She sets us up!" whispered Sophie. The pair of them were running threw gardens now. The officers were now running after them. "Yeah, I thought that too. I need to call Louise. She might have some ideas to help us." replied Chris. Sophie nodded, and the pair darted around a corner, and hid in a bush.

How did you like it? Rebecca is quite evil.. But is it all of her parents' faults?.. Anyway I'm typing this very fast, since I'm tired and I need to get up early tomorrow, so Ta-Ta, and goodnight. Here's hoping I sleep.. I've watched Paranormal Activity 3, since I thought it was batman.. But nooooo it had to be Paranormal Activity 3! Aw well, I will chant some chants, and try to protect myself, okay goodnight x.
