"This is all quite simple, actually. See, you just-"

"Yo Doc, you got any chips?"

It was about now when Andrew realized that Charlie was no longer next to him. Somehow, she's relocated into the kitchen, digging through his pantry.

The second he walked in, he was greeted with a crash, and seconds later, he found Charlie buried under a pile of cereal boxes, granola bars, and several packages of Jammie Dodgers.

Quickly, he got down, throwing the food packages over his shoulder. What he didn't expect, however, was to find her passed out.

"Oh no," he muttered to himself, staring at her small figure on the floor. She looks smaller than usual. He stares at her for a moment, hesitantly leaning down and slipping his arms underneath and picking her up gently.

Wow, she's light.

Again, he finds himself staring, and with a red face, he looked away, slowly walking to the living room to place her on the couch. The couch would be fine right?

After a few slow steps, Andrew's standing in the living room once more, and he sighs out of frustration at the sight of her books and bag practically occupying the entire couch space.

Where should he put her now?

He's quiet, a frown on his face as he looks about the room for an idea for a solution. But then it hits him.

His room.

That's not so bad, isn't it? He's not going to do anything to her. Most definitely not. And he didn't have much of an option anyway, so to the bedroom it is. In a completely innocent way of course.
