Chapter 6: It's Getting Complicated
Alex: Morning Malcolm.
Malcolm: Zzttzzz
Alex: Yep, you've still got a few tricks to learn boy.
What are you doing?Alex: Blocking the sink.
Why on earth are you doing that? Do you mean 'unblocking'?Alex: I meant what I said watcher.
But why..Alex:... Stop repeating yourself. I've got my reasons. Why don't you go watch some fishing.
Morning everyone.Candy: Morning watcher! Oh, a high flyer!
Brian: Huh, this one's got whiskers, cute.
Any angelfish?Dee: A few, seems quite good fishing this morning.
Great! Good to hear people, good to hear.Candy: What's Alex up to?
Oh... err... not sure *cough* I'll go check eh.*Sharp whisper*
No...stop that! Alex! Alex: Go away.
No I won't. Stop that right now!Alex: I'm not going to tell you again watcher. I have my reasons.
People will see...Alex: Well, they won't if you stop making a fuss and drawing attention.
Alex: That should do it.
We need to talk and soon.Alex: We will watcher, I promise. I just have some things to deal with. Trust me.
*Swallows* Ummm, o-kayy. Alex: Ugh... in through the chest, to the heart of the matter.
Any foul deeds in malice to scatter
Direct this straight to my enemy
And shorten his life expectancy.
I'm going to get some fresh air.... Librarian: What are you doing down there? You are making the library frontage look very untidy.
Art: I was just cloud gazing. You should try it.
Librarian: No thank you.
Brian: And then it just happens, the adrenaline kicks in and it's like nothing you've every felt before... It's incredible.
Candy: Brian, I really don't think you should be telling me this. I mean, most people do not go around enthusing about the thrill of stealing. Maybe you need therapy?
Dee: I've been telling him that for days. *sigh*
OK. I've heard enough. Everyone get packed up. We're going home. NOW. This has turned out the weirdest fishing trip ever.Some time later.
Yuki: I didn't know watchers could throw tantrums.
I didn't exactly throw a tantrum, just more, err... put my foot down.Yuki: K, then.
Anyway, come and have some food, you're too thin.Yuki: It's genetic watcher, don't worry I eat plenty.
Malcolm: Oh plumbob! Why do I always believe it when you lie about your career?
Alex: It's all in the telling. You'll get there Malcolm. Just keep practicing.
Brian: I love this song.
Candy: So what the watcher didn't want to tell you about your job Brian is...
*cough cough cough* Oh... hehhee, excuse me. So Art... you have some gardening to do? Yes? Yuki: Awww, I wanted to hear the gossip.
Art: On it watcher
I love this moment.Art: Why is that?
Well once you've grafted this pomegranate it means we are only one more graft away from getting death flowers. It's like we've done the hard part really.Art: Well, that's great news.
It is. Thank you for your hard work Art. I really appreciate it.The garden is looking lovely.Art: Thanks. Have you had a chance to sit down and speak to Alex yet?
No. He keeps pushing me away...Art: Don't you think he really needs to know what all this is about? I'm assuming it's a watchers dynasty or something similar. Yes?
Errr.. yes, only there are things I can not discuss because of a, umm, well a pact I made. It's complicated.Art: That doesn't sound good.
It's not. My souls on the line.Art: Well, wasn't expecting that!
Neither was I Art, neither was I.
Candy:... and then I was thinking we could decorate the main room upstairs and change that into our master bedroom.
Alex: Sounds great. The views are awesome from up there.
Candy: What colours Alex? I like pink...
Alex: You can have any colour you like. I'm man enough to handle a bit of pink. *Grin*
Dee: Oh lordy, I'm 3rd wheelin it here. *awkward*
Heh. Better get used to it Dee, I think they'll be a lot worse once they're married!Brian: You know watcher. I'm starting to be a little worried about this job you have for me. How come no one ever gets to talk about it?
Ooo, is that the time!Yuki: Hmmm grilled cheese.
Alex: Dang my fiance's hawt watcher!
*eye roll* Hmm hm. Well, better watch where you're going eh.Brian: I think you guys should just tie the knot already.
Dee: Seconded. You guys are so right for each other.
Well, there you have it Alessandro! Feel like getting married?Alex: Can't imagine anything better watcher.
