Rebecca Gloomed

Jealousy

The next morning Rebecca woke up to silence. For her, this was not always normal. Frank and Len would usually perform for her in the mornings. Not all the time, but they agreed always on Wednesday mornings. But there was no Frank....

"That's weird." Rebecca yawns, stretching and sitting up in bed. She slipped on her night time slippers. "It's about time when Ruby makes breakfast..." Her stomach rumbled at the thought of Ruby's homemade pancakes coated with syrup and patted down with butter and jelly. This thought fueling her energy, she bounded out of the garage to the giant Victorian mansion.

Meanwhile...

Alyssa bolted upright in bed and practically ripped off her sleeping mask. Guitar rifts flooded her ears and it scared the heck out of her. She looked up at Frank and Len rocking out on their guitar while standing on their amp.

"What the actual heck?!" Alyssa screamed. Frank and Len stopped and looked at her sheepishly.

"Did...you like it?" Frank asked, for fear they annoyed her by far.

At first Alyssa had this irritated look on her face, mixed with utter shock and something else they couldn't quite place. But then it quickly changed with a look of pure happiness and ecstasy.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" She practically screamed in joy, leaping out of bed and clambering onto the amp.

Frank and Len backed up a little bit, a bit stunned at her reaction.

The crazed fan girl pulled them into a hug that squeezed the life out of them. "That was perfect, Frank."

"Don't....I-I get a lil credit?" Len managed to choke out.

"Whoa....whoa, Alyssa wait--!" Frank tried to warn her. But it was too late, they were already on the floor, having being knocked off the amp of the force of the fangirl's vicious bear hug.

That's just when Iris came darting down the hall, all revved up for the day. The thought of a nice breakfast Fueling her energy that was already on full blast. But she abruptly stopped in her tracks to see Alyssa sprawled over top of Frank and Len.

Iris' jaw dropped as she gaped at the sight in front of her. This had gotten out of hand...

"Wait...I-It's not..." Frank tried to explain, cheeks turning a bright red.

"How ROMANTIC!" Alyssa exclaimed, hugging him. Her golden locks swaying and her bright green eyes shimmering.

Len could feel the heat rise to his face. He touched his cheek. "Frank, what's going on?" He asked. "Some weird stuff's goin' down..."

Iris gasped and covered her mouth. "You two--! Her--! She--! Rebecca--! You two are--!" Iris shouted in disbelief, seemingly unable to finish her sentences.

With one last gasp, "I won't tell!" Iris then darted away, a panicked look on her face. She assumed it was something between him and Alyssa that could be secret. But she was bad at keeping secrets...

Rebecca bounded up the stairs to see if frank and Len were up there. Just when Iris bumped into her while she was halfway down. They gasped as they tumbled down the rest of the stairs in a ball and crashed against the floor.

"OW!" Rebecca yelled, rubbing her head. "Watch where you're going Iris!" She said this last part without thinking but she could only focus on the throbbing pain in her forehead. Apparently a the fall bruised her forehead.

"Gah!" Iris gasped before clapping a hand over her mouth. It was Rebecca! What a coincidence! What should she say? What should she do? Should she tell her about what she saw?
