A new chapter of "House of Pullip" is ready, happy reading :D
Chapter 63:
*Annike has come to see Lucas*
Lucas: Nika, I’m glad to see you.
Annike: I wanted to find out when you are leaving.
Lucas: Checking to make sure I don’t run off without saying goodbye this time?
Annike: I wouldn’t put it past you.
Lucas: Ah…I thought you had more faith in me than that.
Annike: Not yet.
Lucas: You wound me!
Annike: Knock it off! When are you leaving?
Lucas: Later today.
Annike: I’m sorry I couldn’t convince you to stay. It has been nice seeing you again.
Lucas: Hey, it’s only an audition, I’ll be back soon.
Annike: I’ll only believe that when I see it.
Lucas: This place really isn’t for me…but there is something about it here that I can’t quite put my finger on that’s very…interesting.
Annike: Well that’s descriptive.
Lucas: I don’t know how else to explain it.
Annike: Never mind, I know what you mean. It is unusual here. I’m only sorry it’s not interesting enough to make you want to stay.
Lucas: Let’s not get into this again.
Annike: You’re right; I didn’t come here to argue. I brought you something.
*She tries to hand him his empty guitar case, but Lucas won’t take it*
Lucas: That’s just my guitar case. I don’t need it.
Annike: Maybe it will bring you luck.
Lucas: It only reminds me of what I lost.
Annike: *sigh* Fine. *she sets the guitar case down instead*
Lucas: It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, Nika, I just don’t need it…really.
Annike: Whatever.
Lucas: Come here. Let me give you something.
Annike: What are you doing?
Lucas: *doesn’t respond but leans in closer*
*Lucas suddenly kisses Annike before she can protest*
Annike: What did you do that for?
Lucas: I needed something for good luck.
Annike: *sarcastic* How thoughtful of you.
Lucas: I was also hoping it might help you forget that other guy.
Annike: What other guy?
Lucas: See? It’s working already.
Annike: *shakes head* Just go to your audition. I doubt I'll see you again anytime soon.
Lucas: Nika…
Annike: And don’t forget your guitar case. Take it…for me…please.
Lucas: Bye, Nika.
*Annike walks off and Lucas reluctantly picks up the guitar case*
Lucas: What the...? This case feels heavy…
*He opens the case and finds a new guitar in it*
Lucas: Wow…this is great!
Lucas: Nika…
*He looks up to find her but she is gone*
To be continued...
I have to laugh about Annike and Lucas here...especially Annike's reaction to him. I think she's not sure whether to hug him or kick him :P
