54 KNOCK, KNOCK (1/2)
|Third Pov Theodore|
Theodore, Rose and the Kent's had arrived at Wild Flower elementary in David's SUV.
Lily quickly kissed her parents and hugged Theodore and Rose before shouting a cheerful goodbye.
Rose poked her head out the window and got a look at the place that kept her only friend Lilly away from her.
”Wow~”
Rose stared at the school in awe. Every single wall was a beautiful mural, it had a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The sight of so many children running around and enjoying each other company made Rose realise why Lily likes school.
Rose began to feel jealous as she began looked back at Theodore and asked ”I want more friends daddy”
Theodore pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her ”You will have plenty of friends”
”I want lots,” Said Rose while rubbing her face into his chest
'Hmm if only there were more kids in the neighbourhood then I could set up a play date. Chloe is cute and all but can't really play with Rose' Thought Theodore
Samantha smiled and said, ”Hows about we go shopping?”
Theodore and David immediately tense up as they come up with excuses.
”Ah I just remembered that I have high paying customer waiting on his 1967 Chevy Corvette”
”I-I was going to teach Rose to write her name, yes her name”
Rose looked up at Theodore with her glossy grey eyes full of expectations, her cheeks puffed up and her lips pouting.
Theodore kissed her head and said ”Okay but only two toys okay”
”Yay!!” Said Rose before throwing her hands in the air and kissing Theodore
”Great and David don't lie to me I've seen your schedule, it's empty. Besides your wardrobe needs updating” Said Samantha before driving.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
An hour later Theodore and Rose made it back home. Rose looked ecstatic holding a big purple dolphin and a boxed styling doll head.
Theodore had two bags filled with new clothes and more sketchbooks.
Rose immediately ran in and shouted ”Aunt Mary!!”
Mary walked out from the kitchen wearing an oversized white t-shirt with grey joggers. Her long black hair in a messy bun with a pair of big silver round glasses.
”Look, new toys!!” Said Rose while presenting her toys.
”Oooh wow” Exclaimed Mary
”Hehe open please” Said Rose pushing the boxed doll head into Mary's hands
Mary quickly opened the box and pulled out the doll head that came with a pink brush and a small makeup kit.
Before Rose could even get a good look. Theodore appeared like a ghost and snatched the makeup kit and put it behind him.
Showing an innocent smile while Rose squinted suspiciously at him.
Rose then showed a happy smile ”Look daddy my doll super pretty”
Theodore replied with rubbing her head ”Yes, she is just like my little petal”
”Hehehehe I tell Icy now,” Said Rose as she ran away with her doll head and stuffed dolphin
”Phew, that was a close one” Said Theodore before dropping the makeup kit in the bin.
”So no makeup huh?” Asked Mary
”Of course she's only two” Replied Theodore
”I thought you wouldn't be back for like another 2 hours so what happens?” Asked Mary
”I got a call that my V.R Cube will be here in a few minutes,” Said Theodore excitedly
Mary replied in a disappointed tone ”Oh”
”That is not the right reaction. Mary this is a fully working virtual reality. It's the freedom and experience every gamer wants” Said Theodore excitedly
”How does the player register damage and what about the animation for death slash loss” Said Mary still not bothered
”The V.R suit vibrates at a high speed causing a burning sensation. The suit also restrains the body and fixes the posture to match the in-game animation” Said Theodore
”Oh wow that is impressive but it shouldn't have a big market,” Said Mary while nodding
”Why do you say that?” Asked Theodore confusedly
”For someone who has trained his body like you it might seem like freedom but for others that don't have the same physical capabilities or basic coordination will only feel limited”
