Cutish threw herself on the couch, her anger boiling deep inside her. It wasn't long however before this rage began to settle and soon disappear. Dracula was still on after all, look at those pearly white sharp teeth, how dreamy! Anyone could get lost watching such an amazing film. Despite this, something was still bothering her, she felt something deep, very deep, maybe in the heart, or maybe her gut, maybe both. Deciding to discover what this new found feeling was, she lay down on the couch holding onto a pillow, staring blankly at the tv screen as the gears in her head turned.
Meanwhile Lotty was still observing the stars, captured by their glistening light until a shadowy figure passed by and made the bushes rustle. This sound startled her a lot, despite the snoring dog right beside her, so she jumped up and began to look around with her eyes wide open. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except for maybe a cat's cry in the distance, to which Lotty replied with a very loud "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWRRRRRR" before falling back to look at the stars again.
This second star gazing session was soon interrupted, this time by a man's voice.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar ye be the lightning baby from earlier, aye?"
Lotty sat up in a flash, looked closely at the man standing before her, and squealed like a very, very, very happy little girl, waking the dog in the process.
"AYE AYE!!! I be that lightning baby!!!! What manner of business do ye have with me mister piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirate?????"
The man smiled and sat down to tell her a very long story, which of course Lotty could not register for the life of her, though a few words caught her attention, such as: adventure, pirates, scallywags, danger, explosions, octopus, night clubs, dancing, fun, apples, seagulls, ships, booze, discos, parrots, rainbows, big white fluffy clouds that looked like bunnies, flowers, skipping, singing and the best sentence ever "Would ye join me crew?"
Before Lotty gave a reply however, the door behind her opened and a troubled Cutish stood there, almost completely hollow. Several minutes passed before her eyes widened after seeing this "pirate man" and she quickly slammed the door. Lotty pounced up and began excitedly banging on the door until a hand reached out from inside and pulled her in.
"DID YOU SEE DID YOU SEE!!!???? IT'S MISTER PIRATE!!!! We saw him earlier on you know!!! He seems like a very nice man, he even invited me to join his crew!!! OMG we should totally go!!!!! We can do stuff like saaaaaaaailing, eaaaaaaaating, driiiiiiiiiiinkiiiiiiiing, siiiiiiiiiingiiiiing, daaaaaaaanciiiiiiiiiiiiing, sleeeeeeee-"
"NO WAY IN HELL!!!!! That guy obviously escaped from some mental institution!!!!! We should just lock the door and all the windows, then call the police!!!"
"NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Don't call the PO-leeeeeeeeeese!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!! You should hear his story!!! It's 100% true!!!!! I prooooomise!!!!"
Cutish, unwilling to continue arguing, nothing will get Lotty to listen anyways, sat down on a nearby chair and stared at Lotty with a concerned look on her face, before letting out a huge sigh and resting her head in her hand with a frown.
"OH YEAH!!! Why'd you let me back iiiiin? Hmmmmm? Didn't you want me to look at the pretty shiny sparkly glisteny bright stars aaaaaaaaaaaall night? And that carpet ride was awesome!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! The cool air felt really good after that toooooo. That was so nice of choooooo!!!!!! You're so awesome, you deserve a glomp!!!!!"
"What!!!??? What are you going on about now woman???? Arrrrrrrgh whatever........ I let you back in because..... because....... it's supposed to get....um, a TON more chilly tonight, like, freeeeeezing, so I decided letting you sleep over for one night wouldn't hurt...... and that glomp isn't necessary, please don't feel the need to give me one, please"
"That's no way to taaaaaaaaalk, GLOMP TIIIIME!!!!!!"
Before Cutish could get away, Lotty quickly pounced upon her and squeezed with what seemed like a death grip to Cutish. Close to passing out, Lotty let go and let out a cry.
"DOGGEH!!!! I FORGOT DOGGEH!!!!!!"
Flinging the door open, Lotty found the dog sitting beside the crazy pirate man on the first door step, wagging it's tail due to attention being given. Cutish cautiously approached the pirate, phone in hand, ready to call the police in case and studyied his appearance. He sported an eyepatch, classic... but something was odd, this man had class you see, he had a monocle for his one good eye, gentlemanly, ain't it? She grunted and demanded his story.
"Well you see....."
