Gregory returned to the house and thanked Roxy again for taking him with her on the Motorbike. He would have bothered her a little longer, but he needed to give everyone else their gifts too! He thought for a moment about who he should see next.
Monty is usually in the garden and he's the easiest to find, so Gregory set off to do just that. He ran into the backyard, unlocking the gate on the picket fence. He looked around the back garden and saw Monty sticking his head up out of a bush of bleeding hearts. The red heart shaped blooms kind of blended in with the red part of his half mohawk half mullet. He waved at the kid and Gregory ran over to him.
"Hey Monty, what are you doing over here?" He asked as he kneeled down next to him to see.
"I'm just removing a few of the bleeding hearts so I can spread them around the garden. Mannie wanted some more colour around, and these guys are easy to propagate. Do you want to help out?" Monty inquired as the kid probably had nothing to do and might be getting bored.
Gregory thought about it, and figured that he should just give the drawing to Monty when he's done. So for now, he would help! "Sure, if you think it's okay... I don't want to mess anything up,"
Monty chuckled, "Don't worry about it too much. If anything goes wrong I'll just head to the garden centre and pick up some new flowers. Here, let me show you how to dig out the bleeding hearts first all right?" He then handed Gregory a pair of gloves to use. He stuck his own purple gloves into the soil and mulch. He moved his fingers around a little to try and find a good spot, "It's a bit hard to dig them out as you don't want to rip out the roots. But planting them back in is easy,"
He then grasped at a clump of roots and slowly separated it from the rest of the plant. When it was loose, he pulled it out of the ground and handed it to Gregory, "There. Not too hard huh? I'll show you how to plant it and then we can deal with the marigolds,"
Gregory nodded and walked with Monty over to a small flower bed that had some upturned dirt and holes. He then pointed at one of the holes for Gregory to place it in, "Just stick it in and pull some of the loose dirt over it. It's kinda like you're tucking it into bed. You can't leave the roots exposed," as Monty coached him, he slowly planted the clump of bleeding hearts into the new flower bed. He then looked to Monty for approval.
He chuckled and gave the kid a thumbs up, "Good job! I'll be hiring you as my apprentice in no time. Come on, we got some marigolds to deal with,"
Gregory spent the afternoon in the garden with Monty, helping him re-plant and re-work the Wilde's gardens. Monty gave him a talk about being a ladies man and how flowers were always a good gift. When he wasn't being corrupted by the wild Casanova, he saw a lot of cool bugs and worms that Monty helped him identify. They also had a few butterflies visit, and Monty kept sticking them onto Gregory's arms and making him laugh. The poor kid was covered in butterflies by the end of the afternoon. He shook his arms a little and they flew away, off to find somewhere else to perch.
The two went inside to get cleaned up and found that Mannie had left two glasses of lemonade in the fridge for them. They sat down on the couch and sipped their drinks. Suddenly, Monty got up from the couch and went over to the TV set. He opened the tv stand cupboards and pulled out some remotes.
"You know how to play?" He asked as he handed Gregory a remote.
Gregory shook his head as he hadn't seen this console before. He watched Monty start it up and put on a Mario Game for them to play. He let Gregory play as Mario and they started to fight through the levels. Monty's calm demeanor immediately shattered as he got into the game. He would yell, laugh, and point at the screen as he raged at a pitfall. He kept getting stuck in spots and dying over and over as Gregory skillfully jumped across the platforms and bounced on mobs.
