004--Cinderella. Sort of.

[Rose is wearing a ballgown, all done up, and looking sort of flustered.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

Oh, I dunno. [holds up the yo-yo] You've got wheels and... [pokes the banana] a carriage! Oh and- [holds up bus stub] -your ticket! And, uhm, well...string is quite useful in its own right.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Laughs] You're brilliant.

[Looks down at the ringing mobile and presses ignore again]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Course I am. [grins, then glances down at the phone] She must have twenty of them by now.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Dunno. [Blinks at the text beep, and reads it] ...she just says "a bunch."

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

So about forty.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Siiiiiiiiiiigh] Probably.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[holds up the banana] These are wonderful at parties, you know.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

For getting rid of forty men?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Bananas have done loads of good. I don't see why they can't do that as well.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

"Hi, I'm Rose, I know my Mum said that maybe we could get together or something, but take the banana, instead." That'll go over well.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

It would either impress them or drive them off. The impressed ones are the more interesting ones anyway.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Knowing the type she tends to throw at me, they'd all be convinced I'm a nutter and walk off.

--oh, that's an idea, actually.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] Bananas are good.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

They are. [Have a hug. WHICH IS AWKWARD, BECAUSE WE'RE SITTING, BUT WHATEVER]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[AWKWARD HUGS ARE OKAY TOO]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[YAAAY]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[beams] So! Going to give it a go? The old 'I've got a banana and I'm not afraid to use it'?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I guess it's always worth a shot. Or I could always get Jake to snog me in front of everyone and pretend to be my boyfriend for the night.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Could always try both. If one doesn't work, the other should.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Only if Mickey lets me.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he would.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You think so? He does get jealous.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I suppose he was a bit of the jealous type, yeah.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Hated you for a while, y'know.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I think Mickey warmed up eventually!
