Chapter 7: Static Electricity

Lotty grabbed the plate while still staring at the television intently with Gary Oldman as Dracula flashing his teeth with his blue tinted glasses.
Without looking, Lotty purposefully shook the plate. The Jell-O wiggled tremendously.
She then looked at the Jell-O and made a very high pitched, giddy, girly scream. Cutish's mother appeared very shocked at the sudden noise, but couldn't help but smile at Lotty's undeniably happy face as she looked at the heart shaped strawberry Jell-O.
"D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Look Cutiiiiiiiish. Looky! Looky! Doggy! Looky! Cutish's Mommy! Looky! It's a heart! The Jell-O loves us so much it turned itself into a heart! Ahahahahaha! Yaaaaaaaay! Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart," she began chanting in a cute manner.
Cutish stared at her mother and gave a look that asked why she did that, as if she expected her mother to realize what Lotty would do. But, her mother replied back in her face that she should act politely and returned to give a pleasant hospitable look as she smiled at Lotty.
"Well, it isn't magic, dear. It was the container you picked, remember?" she reminded sweetly.
Lotty drew her face extremely close to the Jell-O, so close that her nose touched it and caused the Jell-O to wiggle once more.
"OH YEAH!!!!!!!! No, wait....YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I chose that for Cutish! You know why? Guess why. Come oooooooooooooon. Guess, guess, guess! Okay, fine. I'll tell you. But, shhhhh, it's a secret. No, wait, it's not. Guess why. You don't want to? Because!! Cutish is my bestest buddeh in the worldz! Yay! We da bestest buddehz evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar! C'mere Doggeh. Join the group hug! You too, Cutish's awesomest mommy!!!!!" she gleefully explained as she grabbed Cutish, the dog, and Cutish's mom all into a group hug.
The mother was standing before Lotty grabbed her, so she was pulled atop the couch into Lotty's arms.
She hesitantly laughed and managed to get back up leaving Cutish and the dog still partially suffocating in Lotty's deathly grasp of love.
"Okay, dear. I think you can let go now..."
"OKAY! OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
"What? What?"
"Da Jell-O!!!!" Lotty screamed as she stared at the empty plate.
Remnants of the Jell-O had gotten all over Lotty's and Cutish's shirt and on the dog's face.
"Ahahaha. I guess it's just a new way of eating Jell-O, huh, Cutish? I'LL RACE YA! ONE, TWO, THREE, GOOOO!" Lotty yelled as she began nibbling on the Jell-O on Cutish's shirt. The dog stared at Lotty, then at Cutish, shrugged and began licking the Jell-O off of his own face.
Cutish simply sat there motionless for a few seconds, her mind attempting to register what on earth had just happened.
Catching a glimpse of Lotty eating the Jell-O on her, she tensed up.
"Lotty...," Cutish said with attempted restraint in anger.
"Mmmmmmphhh....nummy nummy....mmmm....Jell......-O.....Oh, yeah, Cutish? Nummmyyyyy.....nmmmmm...."
"I'm going to ask you once and only once. Get off."
"But....the Jell-O! Nmmmmmmmm!"
"That's it! That's it! I've had it!"
Cutish got up off of the couch, leaving Lotty to land face first into the cushion.
Cutish then grabbed Lotty's pacifier necklace and began dragging her to the door.
Lotty was too occupied by licking the rest of the Jell-O off of her own shirt as her body was leaving a trail in the carpet. Cutish opened the door, and struggled to get her out of the door, not because Lotty was resisting, but she felt extremely heavy.
"Get....ugh...Get....out.....Gah!" She exasperated as she finally got Lotty to sit facing the door, with her legs still stretched out.
Cutish, having no more concern slammed the door against her legs and feet.
"Owowowowowowowowowowow. Cuuuuutiiiiiish," Lotty whined as she grabbed her toes in a sitting butterfly position.
"Oooooh, look perty staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars!" Lotty pointed at the sky and leaned backwards and now had her back lying against the staircase.
"Forgot this too," Cutish said angrily as she opened the door quickly, threw the dog on top of Lotty, and slammed it once more.
"DOGGY! Lookit. Staaaaaaaaaaaars. Yes, staaaaaaaaaaaars. See? See?" Lotty asked, as the dog rolled his eyes, but looked up at the night sky anyway.

As Cutish walked back down the hallway to the couch, she couldn't help but notice the trail of Jell-O, traces of Lotty's body being dragged against the carpet, and one of Lotty's rainbow toe socks that must have fallen off as she dragged her. She slowly picked up the sock, stared at it for a second, and then went and plopped down on the couch with a huge sigh.
Cutish's mother had an unexplainable face. She was full of amazement, shame, and pity.
"Cutish, what was that? You kicked your friend out. No, you DRAGGED her out. What kind of person does that? She did not mean any harm. I hope you realize that. Honestly, is that how I have raised you? To overreact like that? Rude, callous, and now a mistress of misunderstandings and unwillingness to understand? I can't believe this. If it weren't for your desire to kick her out again if I bring her back in, I would bring her back in and console her, just as she needs to be. I hope you appreciate what you have done and think about it properly, young lady!" She concluded as she stormed off into the rest of the house.
Cutish glared at the corner of her eye and crossed her arms.
"Bitch. You don't understand shit. She's the one who has no idea what kind of shit I've gone through in the past how many hours since that idiot has come down from the heavens. And what the FUCK is a lightning baby?! Pfft. She's definitely not coming back into this house tonight or any night for that matter," Cutish began ranting and mumbling to herself.

Lotty and the dog still were staring at the stars while lying on the staircase and the landing. "Looky! I'int that pertyyyyy, Doggy? Yeah......You know, Doggy? I think Cutish is super awesome. What? Why you grunting like that? Don't look at me like that, Doggy. SHE IS! I mean...my legs feel all fuzzy now cuz of that magic carpet ride. And she brought us out here to cool off. I mean, my skin was all tingly and hot. She's so nice! I would've never have thought of that. And she's letting us look at the stars! And we have a nice bed on her front porch! See? And her mom. O M G her mom. She made us Jell-O! And and....we watched Dracula! I've never seen that before. Or anything like it. She...I feel so alive now. Even though I've only been alive here for one day. I can't wait for tomorrow. Day numero two, Doggy! I can't wait. Can you? Doggy?" Lotty looked away from the sky and glanced at the dog.
He had fallen asleep and was already twitching in a dream.
Lotty began to whisper, "Aw. G'niiiight, Doggy. I luuuuuuuuuuuffles choo," she said sweetly as she kissed his nose and fell asleep with him on her torso.
She then poked one eye open, stole a swig of Jell-O off of the dog's fur with her finger, ate it, and then went back to try to fall asleep.
