A Month of Miami, Not A Month Off

9: At War

The next day, it was the writers' first day out of five days off. Oh boy, they were happy to not be working because they never really got the chance to explore Miami and all they had to do was work.

Sophia was in the kitchen finishing up her tiramisu that she promised Buddy. Just then, Buddy walks in the kitchen.

" Good morning Sophia," Buddy said.

" Good morning Buddy! I made you your tiramisu like I promised you," Sophia replied giving him the tiramisu. Buddy was shocked that Sophia actually made him a tiramisu and kept her promise. Remember people, don't make promises you can't keep!

Rob, Sally, and Dorothy then came in the kitchen.

" Good morning Buddy and Sophia," all three of them said.

" Good morning," Sophia replied back serving everyone breakfast while Buddy was muffling the words and stuffing his face with the tiramisu.

Sally then gave Buddy a dirty look.

" She actually did it, huh? Sally asked and Buddy nodded.

" Well, don't come crying to me when you gain a pound," she continued.

Blanche then came in the kitchen.

" Good morning friends and slut," Blanche said and looked at Sally when saying slut.

Sally looked like she was about to slap her. She was on the verge of getting up, but Rob stopped her.

" Don't let her get to you, Sal," Rob said.

Sally then sat back down to continue her breakfast.

" I just realized I have to spend 5 whole days with her," Sally whispered while pointing at Blanche.

" Sally, don't let Blanche get to you. It's her birthday at the end of the month and Blanche hates birthdays. They make her feel old and she hates that feeling. Once we threw a surprise party for her and we didn't know she hated surprise parties," Dorothy whispered.

" At least Blanche has somebody to celebrate birthdays with. I spend my birthdays either alone or with a date," Sally replied.

" That is not the point, just look. If Blanche is bothering you, talk to me or Rob. Rob is someone you can always count on and I am a teacher so I can give her some discipline like how I do with my students," Dorothy explained.

" Question, does that give her an excuse to treat me that way?" Sally asked.

" No, absolutely not! She should be treating you like you belong here because that's how we treat our guests," Dorothy replied.

Sally smiled and nodded.

" Has anyone seen Rose?" Blanche asked.

" How should I know? I wasn't with her last night," Dorothy answered.

" Maybe the slut knows. She probably also knows why she's wearing that ugly bow in her hair," Blanche said.

Sally looked up.

"Pardon me?" she asked.

" You sleep in the same room as Rose. You should know where she is," Blanche continued.

" Listen up southern lassie, I have no idea where she is. I woke up and she went bye bye," Sally yelled.

" Temper Sally!" Rob warned.

" You better take that back!" Blanche yelled.

" I certainly will not! You've been rude to me and constantly calling me a slut ever since I got here! First, you get mad because some fellas like me. Second of all, you food poison me and then you draw on me and ruin my sweater while I'm taking a nap on your couch. Lastly, you bleached my skirt this morning and that is why I'm wearing slacks and your wearing one of my dress you stole. You may think I'm a slut, but in reality, it's you! I only go after one man while you go after like 10 a week," Sally replied.

Blanche was shook that Sally got her good! Blanche then decided to make a comeback.

" Well, you have ruined my reputation! You steal my men and I did all of that to teach you a lesson. Also, I stole your dress because it looks good on me and not you and I bleached your skirt because it's ugly!  The lesson is that bad things will happen when you take a man from Blanche," Blanche continued.

" Now, cut it out you two! I get it, you guys have been having issues since Sally herself and the boys have arrived. Now, I have one exercise to give you both-," Dorothy got cut off.

" I can't exercise right now Dorothy, I have an interview to get to for work and I'm gonna be late," Blanche said leaving the kitchen using the backdoor.

Dorothy then turned to Sally.

" Sally, I did the best I could," Dorothy told her.

" It's alright Dorothy, at least you tried," Sally replied.

" At least you spoke up to Blanche and confronted her."

" Yeah, you're right. I was able to confront her!"

" What happened to the fight?" Buddy asked still munching on the tiramisu. "It was getting good!"

" Well, too bad it's over! I roasted her so bad," Sally replied.

" Really? I thought it was more like she roasted you," Buddy added.

Sally glared at him.

" Buddy, that's enough!" She yelled playfully punching him in the arm.

" Geez, I'm sorry Sal!"

" Guys, I'm not teaching today so what do you say about me taking you around Miami for the day so you can get to know the city since you'll be working here for a while?" Dorothy suggested.

" You'll be working here for a while? We're already working here!" Buddy replied.

Dorothy began cracking up.

" That would be nice to take us around, thank you Dorothy," Rob said.

" You're welcome, Rob," Dorothy replied.

" So, here is our day planned. Why don't I take you around Coconut Grove, have lunch, go to Miami Beach and maybe later we can play a game of tennis! How does that sound?" Dorothy asked.

" I like the idea, but Buddy and Sally won't play tennis," Rob said.

" You're pretty darn right I won't play tennis! I don't own active wear, I'll ruin my hair, and sweat like a dog, because it is hot in Miami" Sally said.

" I'll ruin my hair too," Buddy added.

Sally turned to Buddy in annoyance.

" What do you mean you'll ruin your hair? You're hair isn't long enough to get ruined!"

" Your hair isn't either!" Buddy started laughing.

" My hair is not that easy to fix, Buddy!"

" Cut it out you two!" Rob yelled.

" Sorry Dorothy, I'm not into sports," Sally told Dorothy.

" That's okay! There is a coffee shop down the street that you and Buddy can go to while Rob and I play," Dorothy added.

" I'll get my stuff together and then we can go," she continued.
