Mel's POV
The rest of the day was normal. When I got home I went straight to the lounge room to see Sherlock and John there. With Gianna in the kitchen.
"Hey guys." I said pecking Sherlock on the lips and went to the kitchen to say hi to Gianna.
I saw her making a pot of tea.
"Hi Gianna." I said.
"Oh hey Mel. Do you want some tea?" She asked.
"No thanks I need coffee after the day I've had." I told her.
"Bad day, huh?"
"Oh yeah." I took my coffee and started to sip. "The only good thing that happened is me getting invited to a party." I told her.
"Oh that's nice are you going?""
"Of course. I have the perfect costume." I told her with a grin.
"Are you going to take Sherlock." She asked me.
"Well if he wants to go." I told her.
"I wonder what the 'Great Sherlock Holmes' would wear to a costume party." She said in a mocking tone.
I laughed and helped her with the tea. I put the tray that had the tea, milk and sugar on the table next to John's chair and went to get my coffee. I went back out and sat on the sofa next to Gianna.
"So what did you two do today?" I asked breaking the silence.
"We manly just stayed at home." John told me.
"That's nice."
There was an awkward silence. I tried to hurry up and finish my coffee so then I could leave. I skulled my coffee and stood up.
"Where are you going?" John asked me.
"To go and get ready for a party that I'm going to." I told him.
"Oh okay. Have fun."
"I'm not leaving yet. I'm just going to get ready." I told him with an eyebrow raised.
"Uh yeah."
I shook my head and put my cup in the sink and walked up stairs to my room.
I got the costume that I was thinking of wearing and laid it out on my bed. I took a picture and sent it to Rose.
'How about this as a costume?' I texted her.
A few minutes later a reply came through.
'Yeah that's a great costume. Thanks again for wanting to come.' It said.
I smiled and went to have a shower. I grabbed a towel and went downstairs to the bathroom. As I walked past John, Gianna and Sherlock, John was writing something on his blog and Sherlock was just sitting back with his eyes closed thinking. And Gianna was making another sweet cup of tea for her self.
I rolled my eyes and entered the bathroom. I got undressed and ran the shower.
After my shower, I got dressed in short shorts and a plain top just to go up stairs. I exited the bathroom to find no one in the lounge room.
I shrugged and walked to my room. I got changed into my costume. I went to the mirror that was very small and did smokey eye shadow with black lipstick.
I put the hat on and the spider ring and went to the dressing table. I grabbed my lace purse and walked out.
My heels were clinking on the old wooden stairs.
I entered the lounge room and saw a note there. I walked over to it and picked it up and started to read.
'Look in Mrs. Hudson's flat.'
I arched my eyebrow and walked down to 221A. I knocked and when there was no answer I entered.
"Mrs. Hudson. Are you here?" I called out.
I walked into the kitchen and turned on the light. Sherlock, John and Gianna was standing there.
Gianna was in a long dress wearing a mask. The colours were green. John was in a black suit. And Sherlock was wearing a black tuxedo.
"What's going on?" I asked suspicious.
"Well you're getting watched so we decided to go with you." John told me.
"Wow. So my big brother wears a suit to go to a party for me?"
"Yep." He said.
"Okay. Then. Well we should go then." I told them and walked out to the front of the building and flagged a cab.
The others met me out there and got in there with me. John sat in the front and Sherlock sat in the middle of Gianna and I.
Sherlock held onto my hand and I told the cabbie where we were going.
