Chapter 72 - Change Of Plans (1/2)
|Third Pov Theodore|
Rose and Icy we're watching T.V inside the remains of last night's blanket fort with a clone watching over them while adding a new chapter to his Sole Piece and Batman sketchbooks.
Theodore was in the kitchen cooking breakfast with Sophie to his left and Mary to his right. Mary was cutting tomatoes and spring onions with
While making omelet Theodore noticed that Mary and Sophie were also wearing Flick Sportswear which was black leggings with orange stripe down the side, a black sports bra and a neon orange zip up hoodie.
”Are you guys by any chance participating in the Marathon?”
”It's called L.A's Big Run. Did you not read the info I sent you?” Said Mary
”Sorry but I've been a bit busy. So like are you guys joining?”
”Yep. I got an email last night and just read it. They've decided that this will be now a charity run and now anyone willing to help can participate. The charity is for an R&D department called Tech Able. They help create tools that help the handicapped. Flick also got the memo and put forward a charity stream. Whatever your fans donate they'll match it and double it. You don't even need to wear the brand” Said Mary
Theodore was immediately happy and said ”This means Rose and Icy can join”
”Yep and for obvious reasons we'll join too,” Said, Sophie while Mary nodded
”Huh, obvious? Obvious to who?” Asked, Theodore confusedly
”Since you announced that you were gonna be in a public event and streaming it a drinking game was made”
”A drinking game?”
”It goes like this for every woman that approaches, drink. If they blush, drink. If they touch your arm, drink. If they laugh at one of your bad jokes, drink. To add to the fun someone added a bet on how many women would approach you. At the moment the amount up for grabs $3,000” Said Sophie
” Okay, so what did you bet?”
”I put five. This number includes myself and Mary”
”We put the same number,” Said Mary
With a hearty laugh, Theodore stated ”Haha five? You are severely underestimating my charm”
Sophie and Mary rolled their eyes.
”You know some celebs try to act humble”Said Sophie
He gave an immediate yet dull reply ”I'm very sorry in future I'll try to NOT remember my overwhelming god-like charm”
”You're an a.s.s you know that” Said Sophie
”Then I'm the best looking a.s.s, happy?”
”Fine, so how were things last night?” Asked Sophie
”Well It was. . . ” Looking to his right he smiled at Mary and continued ”. . different to say the least”
”Is that a good different?”
”Oh it was good but a freaky good,” Said Theodore while short memory of last night flashed through his head
”Freaky?”
”Our nights are pretty rough but Mary's healing ability makes her more durable. Oh and we did anal”
”Cough, sorry what?!!”Sophie then turned to Mary and said ”I thought I was the pervert the group”
Mary just shrugged her shoulders while a cheeky grin appeared on her face. Sophie could see the pure bliss that surrounded her.
”Pervert is insulting, please use cultured individual,” Said Theodore righteously
With a harsh elbow to Theodore's side, Sophie whispered ”Tonight is my go. Umm no anal I'm not ready for that”
”Sure I'd love to”
They then called Rose and Icy before having a light breakfast made up of an omelet, toast, and sausages.
”So what happening with the Gruited ad,” Asked Mary
”Oh, it should be done, give me a sec,” Said Theodore as he had a Clone check on the finished ad
His clone then sent the ad to Mary and Sophie.
When finishing the ad Theodore had followed the trend that most modern-day ads work on which is an absurd and vague overreaction of what the product can do.
With some post-credit editing, he changed the weather from a warm sunny morning to a gloomy stormy one. His hair and clothes were drenched in the heavy rain. The low rumbles of thunder and flashes of lighting hitting the areas around him leaving burnt patches of grass. When Theodore picked up a glass of Gruited the dark clouds parted and blazing light c.a.r.e.s.sed his face before a charming smile appeared.
Following his smile was a bunch of 2D paintings of birds flying around him.
Theodore then delivered his lines ”Not every day can be a good day, but with a glass of Gruited it can be just a tad bit sweeter”
Mary stared at Theodore and asked, ”when did you learn to use CGI?”
”Oh, it's was easy most of it was just premade templates that do the work for me. The only thing I made personally we're the birds and I had to make a video of myself getting wet in the shower. I still need to do some of the sound effects but other than it's perfect” Said Theodore casually
”Me watch please” Said Rose while making a grabbing action towards Mary and Sophie's phone.
Rose then watched the 20-second ad. At the end of the video, she looked scared and horrified. She immediately stood up from her chair and put her tiny hand on Theodore's forehead. She shook her head and pulled his head to hers.
With their foreheads now touching she closed her eyes and concentrated. She then removed her forehead and gave a serious nod before saying ”Daddy not sick, good. Daddy needs to be careful”
She then kissed Theodore and sat back down to eat.
Sophie exclaimed, ”Is she really two?”
”I some times find it hard to believe as well. She learned it from her cartoons” Said Theodore
”I remember cartoons being just being fun when did they start teaching kids to be doctors,” Said Sophie jokingly
”There were always kids shows that taught stuff. While other kids watched educational shows we watched Ed, Edd n Eddy” Said Theodore in a mocking tone
Sophie then proudly stated ”And I regret none of it. I kinder wished I watched The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy when it was airing”
”Weren't you afraid of that show?” Asked Theodore
Sophie quickly retorted ”No, that was Courage The Cowardly Dog that show was terrifying as a kid. I heard that they were similar so I never watch Bill and Mandy”
”Man you missed out, Courage The Cowardly Dog was the best. I don't think we'll ever see a show that really pushes the horror aspect with a comedic twist” Said Theodore proudly
Mary then added ”It's because the early 2000s were the remains of the '90s. The '90s gave birth to Mortal Kombat and Akira with it came a a set of other media's that followed the theme. The late '90s is where we began its influence on western animation. This carried over into the early 2000s before it died. The FCC might of been the reason but I don't really know. That and parents these days are more attentive to what their children watch”
”Your surprisingly knowledgeable about kid shows” Said Sophie
”You know I was a kid as well,” Said Mary with a sad pout
Theodore And Sophie responded with an exaggerated expression of shock ”You were!?”
”Yes I was, I'm 30, not 50,” Said Mary while sadly eating

|First Pov Theodore|
Before leaving home I left 2 clones at home to work on some mobile game that should hopefully make some easy money.
After a short drive into the city, we finally found a parking space sadly it was quite the distance from the starting line.
Me, Rose, Sophie, and Mary were wearing matching shades and caps. Icy had also joined us I normally don't bring him when we go out into the city but the little guy was very persistent with wanting to join the fun.
A common theme that appears in a charity run is people dressing up like it was Halloween. We had already seen a few possible competitors with one large man wearing nothing but a diaper and some running shoes but it's L.A an weird characters are the norm.
After a nice long walk, we finally get to the starting line.
”I want to sweets please” Rose begged whilst also tightening her grip around his legs.
It was still too early in the morning so I was gonna tell her no but another pair of child-like arms wrapped around my legs from the other side.
Looking at the owner of those arms I see Bella's cute little face wearing a rabbit costume with two floppy ears dangling at the side of her head. It was much too hot to wear a full fursuit so she wore a shirt with some fur on it with gloves
I immediately picked up and said ”What a cute little rabbit”
