66 Animals (2/2)
”It's a bit boring?” Asked Sophie
”I believe our script is better as it can be an introduction into who you are to the average Television viewer. This isn't just an opportunity to earn money but a chance advertise your brand” Said Mary
”That's nice but because it's my first sponsor we should be sincere. Focus on the product and deliver what I was tasked to do” I said while pouring myself a drink
We then talked about it for another 20 minutes before finally settling on something simple.
We filmed a short 20-second video. I had Mary and Sophie both navigating the BoxCam through their phones while I followed the script.
The BoxCam slowly wrapped around from behind me with the Gruited Apple juice carton in clear view. As it came to my side it stopped for a second as an image of me and the carton being embraced by the sun was captured.
The BoxCam finally comes to my front. I silently pour myself a drink and softly sip with a satisfied smile plastered across my face.
I stare into the lens with love and confidence swimming in my pupils. My lips parted as a deep thumping voice sounds ”Not every day can be a good day, but with a glass of Gruited it can be just a tad bit sweeter”
I raise the glass to the lens and hold it.
”Cut hehe I can now add director to my C.V” Said Sophie happily
”It's still a bit plain” Said Mary
”Don't worry with a bit of CGI magic and it will perfect” I said confidently
I then left to wake Rose. When I entered the room I saw her duvet pushed off, her hair and clothes damp.
Her face was a little flushed but that was normal. Her temperature wasn't anything crazy either. After assessing her situation I finally wake her up.
”Rose, it's time to get up”
She turns over and pulls an imaginary duvet up to her nose.
”Little Princess, Petal, wakey wakey,” I said while giving her shoulder a gentle nudge.
”Urgh no, no” Said Rose with her eyes closed tight.
”Come on Rose If you don't wake up you'll miss lunch. I made pasta”
With one eye open, she asks ”Tuna pata?”
”Yep your favorite and there also a surprise before lunch”
She raised her small fist and gave her eyes a rub before yawning ”Really?”
”Have I ever lied to Rose”
Rose gave it thought before shaking her side to side and saying ”No daddy is a good daddy”
I smile happily.
Rose then looks down at her body, seeing her wet clothes and bed she immediately said ”Oh no daddy I did it again”
I smile and say ”Nope it's just sweat”
”Sweat? *Siff, Sniff* smelly, need shower” Said Rose as she jumped off the bed and grabbed her small white towel.
As she got to the door she looked back and said ”Daddy not helping?”
”Of course daddy helps but first let's get you out of these clothes”
I quickly strip her down while look for any obvious signs that led to her sweating so much.
I then spot something new on her neck. I take a closer look and see a tiny jade-green flame. It was a barely visible buy at closer inspection you could see it calmly flickering.
I wave my finger over it and notice that it did not feel hot or cold it was more of a summer breeze, calming and quiet.
I recognized immediately 'Thankfully she isn't sick but her power appears to be changing her body to be compatibale. A fire user but a green one is something new. Looks like I'll have to visit the stone'
With every generation, new powers are born. This is was already predicted by the archaeologists that work closely with Archaic Slab.
(Note: Archaic Slab is a 10ft high ancient rock that can be found in major city's and reveal what power you have before it's even usable)
I had a clone change Rose's sheets while I washed the sticky princess. After a good wash, I properly applied lotion before changing her into a white overall dress, underneath was a mustered long-sleeved shirt with white tights.
Rose quickly went down the stairs and went to play with Mary, Sophie, and Icy.
Before joining them I made an appointment with the L.A's Archaic Slab.
Sadly the only space is next next month which is November and is supposed to be the month I started my Christmas shopping.
'Hmm Christmas. . . . it's our first Christmas without Beth. I wonder whether she'll send a present? If she does should I put it under the tree? . . . . considering Rose reaction to just mentioning her its best not.'
I moved quietly down the stairs to the living room. I stood there watching Rose smile and laugh as she plays pretend with Sophie and Mary.
'I'm one lucky guy. It's been what?.. A day since we agreed to this weird ”Friends With Benefits” relationship. They have not said anything about it but the open flirting is clear. I can't say I've fallen madly in love with them. . . but who's to say I won't. They are willing to try so I should also'
Taking a deep breath I give a charismatic smile and ask ”Can I play?”
Rose nodded and said ”Yes, we're animals”
Pointing at Sophie she said ”Auntie ~Wagua” (Jaguar)
Then pointed at Mary and said ”Auntie snake”
Whilst pointing at me she tilted her head as cogs in her head began to turn. She thought long and hard before saying excitedly ”Daddy elephant!!”
going on all fours I then raise my head with my arm acting as the trunk and give my best trumpet noise ”HonnnK!”
”Ooh ooh I monkey” Said Rose as climbed on to my back
”Daddy Elephant run its Auntie ~wagua n Auntie Snake. They want to eat us”
Sophie gives snarls in a hungry angry manner before delivering a loud ”Roar! me want food!”
Mary was a bit confused as a snake did not have any legs. Lying flat on the floor she smoothly wiggled over and pushed her self off the floor with her back curved and hissed while saying ”Sssss Auntie snake hungry”
With a terrifying shriek, Rose pats my back and shouts ”Eeek run fast daddy elephant”
I ran around the house for a good hour with Rose some times coming down from my back to tease the now tired Sophie and Mary.
”You can't catch us,” Said, Rose
I gave Sophie and Mary a wink. They then latched on to her and tickled her.
”Roar, yummy food,” Said Sophie as she showed her kissed
”Ssss tasty monkey,” Said Mary as did as Sophie did.
”Eeek, no stop hehe stop it haha no” Shouted Rose while trying her best to block her armpits.
*Ding Dong, Ding*
”Ah, they are here!” I said excitedly
”Who's here?” Asked Sophie
”Is it your parents?” Asked Mary
”Nope, I got Rose a playmate. You've met her Mary. Remember Bella she wore a Cinderella slash little red riding hood”
”I remember but did you teach Rose sign language?” Said Mary
”Nope, so I'll have a clone follow them around and translate”
”Wait if Bella's coming then is her mom coming as well” Asked Mary with some subtle suspicion in her voice
”Yes it was originally meant for signing that endorsement deal with Vague \u0026 Finer but I thought it would be a good chance for Rose to have some new to play with”
”So Grace is coming hmm” Said Mary while giving Sophie a glance
”Wait as in the Grace Thompson?” Said Sophie excitedly before her face suddenly went dark and looked at Mary ”Is she. . ”
”Yes,” Said Mary as they silently nod at each other
'. . . .Did I really invite beautiful women over after just a day after Mary confessed? I think I have a few screws loose. . . No no I invited her with only the contract and friendship in mind. Dem tittie though. . . friendship yes friendship' I silently convince myself whilst going to get the door.
