Thursday
The Man's Nest
Schwoz and Ray are talking, Mika and Miles are arguing, and Bose is trying to do The Cat's Cradle with a piece of string but to no avail. His hands all all tangled up in string.
Chapa arrives.
Chapa:"Hey guys!"
Everyone greets her.
Bose now has string all over his body.
Bose:"How did this happen?! How does this keep happening?!(referring to Bilsky's Billions)"
Chapa:"Here, let me help you."
Chapa helps Bose get untangled from the string.
Bose:"Thank you."
Chapa:"No problem! How did this happen away?"
Chapa places a hand on Bose's cheek and Bose blushes at her soft touch.
Bose looks up at Chapa, embarrassed, borderline terrified.
Bose bites his bottom lip and tries to explain.
Bose:(Blushing)"Well, uh, I was um, trying to do, the uh, The Cat's Cradle with a piece of string and then...you know the rest."
Chapa:"Bose..." Her laugh is light through her breath, lighter than her touch against his cheek.
Chapa:"You're adorable, you know that?"
Bose shrugs.
Bose:"I've been told so."
Chapa:"Anyway! I need you to do me a favor!"
Bose:"Sure! Anything for you, Chaps!"
Chapa:"Well, this weekend my family and I are going out of town to visit my cousins, aunt, and uncle, and we'll be back on Monday. But, I need someone to pet sit my Parakeet Emmet."
Bose:"What's a "Parmameet?"
Chapa:"Parakeet." Chapa corrected Bose.
Chapa:"It's a type of bird."
Bose:"And won't pet sitting hurt your bird?"
Chapa:"Bose, "Pet sitting" is where someone watches another person's pet while the other person is away. Anyway, I need someone to watch my bird."
Chapa leans close to Bose and speaks softly to him.
Chapa:"Do you think you can do that?"
Bose blushes due to Chapa being so close to him.
Bose:"Um, sure! Yeah, I can watch him! You can count on me, Chaps!"
Chapa smiles.
Chapa:"Great!"
The next day
Friday
Chapa's house
Chapa's living room
Bose, Chapa, and Chapa's pet bird, Emmet, are in the living room. Emmet is a beautiful white parakeet.
Chapa is ready to leave and she is giving Bose instructions on how to care for her pet bird.
Chapa:"Bose, meet Emmet!"
Bose:(Smiling)"Hi Emmet!"
Chapa heaves a big sack of bird food.
Chapa:"Okay Bose, this is Emmet's food. Feed him twice a day."
Bose:"This whole sack?!"
Chapa:(Shaking her head)"No,(holds up a red cup)just a cup's worth.(hands Bose a list)And here's a list of what to do and what NOT to do."
