Impractical Girls /I.J/

Chapter Four

Joe's point of view:

That night the guys and I fell asleep at Q's house, although Sal went missing for a couple hours, we found him early in the morning sleeping in the broom closet.

"SAL!" yelled Murr directly to his face causing Sal to jump up, hitting his head against a bucket and dropping almost everything on the floor.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked putting his hand on his head.

"What are you doing in a closet?" Asked Q cracking up with Murr and I.

"Making sure that devil cat doesn't sneak up on me again!" Sal got up and closed the closet door.

"So you slept in a closet?" I said

"Yeah! Safest place."

"But guys look! He atleast finally came out! I'm so proud!" said Murr fake crying and giving him a hug.

"Get off of me!"

"Should we have breakfast here or go out?" asked Q.

"Out! There's no cats at a diner." said Sal.

"Yeah I agree, eating out is a lot of fun too!" I said.

"Yeah... That's what HE said!" Murr immediately cracked up, causing the whole room to fill with laughter and cries.

"Yea, yea I get it. Haha very funny."

We decided to walk to an IHOP which was very close to Q's house. I walked in front with Q, while Murr and Sal walked behind. They constantly were picking on each other about everything, the way Murr was walking, the way Sal pointed his foot, all stupid things. I then heard a buzz from the back and a faint scream. We stopped.

"What!" said Q

"The girls are announcing more tour dates around us! I don't know where exactly they are but they're gonna be here!" said Sal

"Really!? But aren't the tickets like $200 to meet them?" I asked

"Oh yeah they're really expensive." nodded Q.

"I mean the girls just mean so much to us! We need to tell them that. So what if I don't have a job anymore. I'm willing to find money to do this." Sal said looking up more information.

"I'm not willing to go bankrupt." said Murr moving forward.

"Sorry Sal but right now isn't the greatest time, especially for you. I'm not saying it won't happen but we don't have enough money." said Q also walking away.

I stayed behind with Sal to comfort him, we all wanted this so badly, and to be honest we could do this, but Sal sometimes doesn't realize the consequences. If he doesn't have a job he won't be able to get more money, which leads him to ask us for it and sometimes forgets to pay us back. I just want him to be able to provide for himself and not waste $200 on the girls where he could use that for food. No matter how much we love them.

We walked into IHOP with a very depressed Sal behind us constantly trying to find ways to save up. We sat down in a booth and ordered all different types of pancakes.

"But guys what if we do a yard sale and..."

"You know they're planning a cruise too! We won't have enough money for that either, it's all expensive right now." said Q

"I want this as badly as you do, seeing Bessy everyday on tv and not being able to go up to her and just say hi I love you! Kills me, but one day I will be able to and then she can shoot me down. I just need to make sure I have enough money to be able to eat away my feelings with donuts afterward." I laughed

"We should save up for the cruise instead of the meet and greet I think. 5 days with them stuck on a boat where B can't run away? My dream!" laughed Murray, we all stared at him.

"Okay psycho, we don't want to get arrested on the cruise." Q said digging into his food.

"What would be the chances Ko would walk in right now?" asked Sal staring at the door and going into a daydream.

"About the same as Si walking in, zero." said Q giving the waitress our empty plates

"I'd say 1 to 1,000 instead of zero. Atleast give it a slight chance." said Sal

"I think we better get out of here or he's going to get more and more ideas. How much is the check?" asked Murr

"Don't worry I got it." said Q

"Aw that's sweet. Thank you." I said patting him on the back.

We walked back to Q's place and then each went home. I grabbed my laptop out and decided to just look through Bessy's twitter, she had a lot of photos of herself which she looked incredibly beautiful in. She had a lot of photos of her at fundraisers for dogs, she was such an animal lover, as am I! What if to save up for the meet and greet or the cruise we could just all walk dogs or groom them? I'm not sure Sal would enjoy that but it would be a good idea. I grabbed my phone and added the guys in a group chat.

"Dog walking and grooming for money. Good idea or no?" - Me

"No." - Sal

"I'm in! If only they were cats." - Q

"Any other ideas Joe? I love dogs but not really into it." - Murr

"Bake sale?" - Me

"Yes actually! We can sell some in town somewhere." - Murr

"I'm not trusting Murray with the baking." - Sal

"We are trying to help you our especially Sal, don't be such a jerk." - Q

"Why don't we split this up? Q and I will do dogs and Murray and Sal will do baking?" - Me

"Actually loving that." - Murr

"Good plan Joe!" - Q

I was so glad the guys actually went through with this, I just hope nothing goes wrong with leaving Sal and Murr alone to bake and then selling the stuff they made. Hopefully no one dies because this is way too important to mess up.
