New lady part 2

Amy creaked open the bar door to calavera cafe, she had been soaked by the downpour and her clothes and hair clung to her face and body. Her shoes squeaked and left wet footprints along her floor as she peered behind the bar.

"Uncle Manny......." Manny was surprised at the sound of a voice and turned his skull to Amy, he got down from his stool "Amy? What are you doing here?"

Amy looked down at her wet clothes. "I need a change of clothes......and a pickle jar, marker and a spoon." Many stood their and raised a non existent eyebrow "Um.....okay then?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amy was now in a fluffy jumper that had kindly been leaned to her by Roxie and a pair of trousers. She was drawing on the spoon that her Uncle gave her and was drawing an angry face, Melodie.

She glared at it and chucked it into the pickle jar, she had fed all of the pickles to her deadbeats leaving the jar empty besides the green liquid. She twisted the lid of the jar back on and gave a glare through the jar at the Melodie spoon.

Manny and Roxie, were watching from the bar counter. They both looked at each other with a slight look of worry concern and confusion before Amy started to shake the jar.

Roxie, gave an awkward cough and started to make her way over to Amy. She lightly tapped her shoulder and the girl stopped and looked at her "Um.....So....Whatcha doing their Amy?" Amy looked back and the jar, giving it a slight shake

"The new skeleton needs to be punished." Roxie cocked a brow "Pardon?" Amy stopped shaking the jar, not letting her glare of the spoon. "Melodie."

"Melodie? Who's she?" Amy shoved the jar in Roxie's face, the angry face on the spoon conveniently facing her. "Shes this new skeleton that Uncle Arthur met!! And I HATE HER!!!"

Roxie pushed the jar away from her face slightly "Why?" Amy paused and placed the jar on the floor, crossing her arms and holding her head high "Because she's trying to take away ARTHUR!!! And she's my replacement...."

Roxie sat down next to Amy and placed a hand on her shoulder "Amy, did you ever think about why Arthur wants her to stay?...." Amy shook her head, picking up the jar and giving it another good shake and glaring at the spoon.

"Okay, um...." Roxie stood up and gave a small cough, earning Amy's attention "He's a boy....Shes a girl....." Roxie motioned with her hands for Amy to finish the rest of the sentence.

She sat their for a moment, almost processing what Roxie said, before it all click. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! YOU THINK HE LIKES HER!?" Roxie gave a nod.

"ARGH!!! THATS STUPID!! LOVE STINKS!!! AND AND SHE STINKS!!!" She started to pace back and fourth. Swinging her arms around in anger "SHES TRYING TO STEEL MY UNCLE AWAY!! I JUST KNOW IT!!! WELL NOT TODAY MELODIE!!!!" She said to no one in particular.

"Amy, why DO you hate this lady?" Amy snapped her head to her "Well DUH!!" She raised her arms above her head "SHE TRYING TO REPLACE ME!!!" She again started pacing back and fourth, Roxie picked up the jar and walked it back over to the bar counter.

As she did this she picked up the cafes phone and dialled her Uncles Lewis's home number. Not even a second had passed before the phone was picked up "Hello?"

"Uncle Lewis?.....I think you need to get Amy......" "What? She's at the cafe?! How could she have gotten their? He asked, clearly confused. "Can you just.....try and talk to her." She looked over at Amy, her farther was trying, or attempting, to calm the anger girl down. Failing.

"She's been shaking a spoon in a pickle jar for the past 30 minutes......" Lewis sighed and Roxie gave a anxious look back at her Dad and Amy. "I'll be their in a minute." "Okay, bye...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sorry if she caused you two any trouble Manny....." Lewis said, looking down at his grumpy daughter that he was holding under his arm "Its was no trouble." Lewis thanked Manny before he walked through the door. As he began to walk his way down the path he had noticed that his daughter, hadn't even made so much as an attempt to escape from under his arm.

She wasn't kicking, squirming, whining, complaining, nothing!! Lewis looked down at her, her head was hung low, her arms swinging next to her head. He stopped and sighed. He placed Amy down in the floor and bent down to her level.

"Amy, what's wrong?" He placed a hand on his daughters shoulder, but she refused to look at him. "Amy, I won't be mad, I promise. I just want to know why you ran off like that, your mother and Uncle were worried sick!!"

Amy didn't answer, she looked up at him briefly, before hanging her head low again and scuffing her foot at the floor. "Am I getting replaced?....."

Lewis was so shocked at the question that he nearly toppled backwards. "What?" Lewis picked up Amy in his arms "Why on earth would you think you were getting replaced?!"

"Because Arthur brought back a replacement....." Amy crossed her arms and sighed in frustration. Still annoyed that Melodie would be at her home when she got back. Lewis thought that over for a moment, Amy thought that Melodie was a replacement?

"Amy.....Arthur didn't bring Melodie home to replace you." Amy shot her eyes to her dad "Really?...." she asked in disbelief "Yes!! Arthur only brought Melodie over because..." he looked around and then whispered to Amy "I think the two may secretly like each other...."

Amy smile quickly faded "But then that means he won't have time to spend with me anymore!!!" Lewis put a hand into his pocket, and pulled out his phone. He walked over to some steps and sat down, letting his daughter sit by his side.

"Whatcha' doing?" Lewis simply went to his contacts and clicked on Arthur's phone number. Amy raised a bone brow as her dad placed the call on speaker and held the phone between him and a confused Amy.

"Lewis?! Oh god!! Have you found Any?! Please tell me you have man!!"

"Arthur.." Lewis stared "Are you worried about Amy?" He looked over at Amy, and she looked down at the phone "Of course I'm worried!! Heck, I was the one that made her ran away to begin with!!!"

"And is Melodie replacing Amy?" Amy looked at her dad, and then the phone, hoping that her Uncle would give her the answer she wanted.

"What?! No nonono!!!! Melodie isn't replacing Amy!! Is that why she ran away?" He was silent for a moment, before the two both heard him sigh "Oh god I'm such and idiot!!! That's why she was so upset!! God she must hate me!!!"

Amy snatched the phone from her dads hands "Your really not gonna replace me?!" Amy practically yelled into the phone. She heard Arthur give a small eep before he answered "Amy?! No!! Of course I'm not gonna replace you!! And Melodie isn't going to take me away from you."

"I don't think anyway can keep you away from her..." Lewis mused and the two let out a small small chuckle. "Okay, how about you and your dad start heading back and then you and I can spend some quality time together?" Amy didn't have to be told twice, she kept at her dad and clambered her way onto his shoulder.

"Onward my noble steed!!!" She pointed her finger in front of her for effect and her dad couldn't help but chuckle. Her daughter was nuts. As he started to walk his way back home, he couldn't help but think what a handful his daughter was, even at a young age, he would dread to think what she would be like in her teenager years.
