4 Roommates

Carl's Dying!

Tyson and Ollie are laying together on the big bean bag chair in the living room. There is music playing in the background and they are both close to falling asleep when Jack comes running into the kitchen, startling them both.

"You okay babe?" asks Tyson.

"No I'm not okay. Carl is dying!" exclaims Jack as he slams around in the kitchen.

"Who the hell is Carl?" Tyson asks at the same time Ollie yells "What?! Not Carl!"

Ollie then scrambles to get out Tyson's grasp and rushes into the kitchen.

"He was doing so good the other day. What do you think happened?" asks Ollie.

"I think we've under watered him and left him in the hot window for too long" is Jacks reply.

"We can fix him though right?"

"Psh of course we can. With my superior plant knowledge and your unfaltering enthusiasm there is no way Carl will die"

Tyson then wanders into the kitchen. "If your knowledge is so superior then why is that plant dying?"

"We underestimated just how much sun a sunflower can take" says Ollie as they hold Carl up to their face

"You named a sunflower Carl?"

"Isn't it a great name?" asks Ollie enthusiastically.

Tyson smiles softly at Ollies enthusiasm. " It's a wonderful name. Are you going to try to keep him in a different spot then?

"Ooh we could try to move him over by Susan? That's a sunny spot but not too sunny. She doesn't need that much room anyway" says Jack excitedly as he takes the small plant over to a shelf in front of the window in the hallway and starts rearranging some of the pots to make room for another. He starts to softly talk to all the plants on the shelves as he checks their dirt and watering when necessary.

Ollie walks up to him to help check on the plants, while Tyson comes up behind them both and wraps his arms around their shoulders in a hug. He places soft kisses on both of their heads and continues to listen to them discuss their plants.
