luke walked into work with a huge smile on his face. he didn't even realize it until his boss pointed it out.

"why you so happy, kid?" his boss, david, said.

"what? i'm not happy." luke went into the staff room to check in. david followed.

"yes, you are. i see that smile on your face." luke immediately got the smile off of his face."i just got back from taking rose to the park. she makes me happy."

luke walked to the register to help out the lonely customer standing there.

"That'll be $255." The customer swiped her credit card.

"nah, dude. that's not it. you found a girl!"

"have a nice day," the customer walked away and luke turned towards david, "no. i didn't find a girl. i'm happy because i had a nice day at the park with my sister. plus, i've never been truly happy. i've had my moments when i've been less sad then other times, but that's about it." luke stopped talking to his boss and began helping random custmors around the store.

"katie?" rose asked.

"yeah?"

"why does kitty wear all black in the hot? isn't he hot?" rose wondered.

"he has always been like that. he always wears sweaters and flower crowns, cat ears or beanies. it's just his thing."

"i'm home!" luke yelled from downstairs. the girls ran downstairs and attacked luke at the legs, "woah, woah. simmer down, young ones." the girls let go and laughed.

"katie, do you know when you need to be home?"

"i need to be home before dinner. which is when the big hand is on the 5." luke looked at his watch and it was 4:55.

"well, then we need to go." rose pouted and so did katie. katie and rose ran upstairs to their stuff. they came back down with their shoes on.

"ready!" they both said. luke lead them out to his car. they both got in while luke was there to make sure they got in safely. luke got into the driver's seat after making sure they got in. he turned down the green day he was blaring when he got out of the car. he slowly backed out of his driveway.

"princess, can you text michael and say we are on our way to drop off katie?" he handed rose his phone at a stoplight. luke had a lock on his phone, but rose was the only one you knew it. she also knew how to text which was very useful to luke.

"i texted him."

"thank you princess."

"you're welcome pookie." luke drove into michael's driveway and found michael waiting outside on the porch for her. luke turned off the car and let katie out.

"bye katie!"

"bye rose!" katie ran up to michael and hugged his legs. luke got out of his car and walked up to michael, leaving rose's door open so he could see her.

"go inside, dinner's inside." katie ran into the house while luke pulled out a cigrette and lit it.

"thank you for bringing her home, luke."

"no problem, mittens. i was planning on doing it anyways. my mum would beat my ass if i didn't." they both laughed.

"pooooookie."

"yes princess?"

"when are we going home?"

"in a few minutes."

"so um luke." michael scratched the back off his neck.

"yes?" luke dropped the cigrette and smashed it.
