  Madison whistled, "Whistle While You Work," while cleaning the kitchen. Thomas had forgotten to clean the kitchen AGAIN after going on one of his "Invention Rampages." That meant that he had either found a new macaroni and cheese website and was trying to perfect the already perfected, or he was experimenting on his own. Ugh. He was just about to put up the last pan when...

  "JAMES!!!"

As to be expected, he dropped everything, including the pan, which made a loud banging noise on the kitchen floor, and panicked, pretty much. He, at first, couldn't find the door, he tripped over his own feet twice, and accidentally knocked over a chair.

"Thomas?!" he asked, standing in the living room doorway, panting, "What in the world
is the matter?"
Thomas, however, was actually crouched up on the top of the couch, precariously. His face was extremely pale.
"What are you doing?!"
Thomas, in response, pointed a shaking finger towards the floor, where a moderately sized spider was crawling.
"Get the darn thing already!" Thomas commanded, his voice a whisper. He then had to quickly grab the back of the couch for balance as he almost fell off backwards.

James sighed in relief, thinking that there had been an emergency. He then got rubber gloves (Cause James is sanitary that way) and some paper towels
He walked back in the living room, effortlessly stepped on the spider, and disposed of it properly.
James came back. "Is it gone?" "Yes Thomas," he said softly. "You can get off the couch now."
Jefferson slumped in relief and fell to the actual seating-part of the couch face-first.
James came over and sat down beside him, and in one move Thomas had pulled him down so he was laying on top of his quiet friend. Thomas then grinned and kissed him.
After a few seconds, James, his face red, said, "Gratitude accepted." Thomas only laughed and kissed him again. It's amazing how sometimes problems bring big rewards.
