Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Alan and Brad are waiting eagerly for Brad’s birthday in few days. But Tabitha had got an internship leading to a job in Colorado. She had to shift there. It was an hour flight to Colorado. The wage offered to her was 500 in three weeks at the start which could end up to almost 8600 a month. She couldn’t wait for her graduation ceremony here till January. She had passed already her degree but was only awaiting graduation day. She was allowed with legal documents from her university. Meanwhile Alan and Brad were at the geese discussing how to give Tabitha a good farewell. Brad was going to be 14. Alan reached 14 a month and a half ago. Strange that, Dorothy and Brad shared the same day as their birthday Dec 11.
(Alan sipping a cup of coffee)
Brad: So when will your sister be here? Is she aware of our plan?
Alan: What are you talking about bud? You think anybody knows when I do something in discreet.
Brad: Yes the last time you did a dis…….creet thing I was feeling chilly in my ass.
Alan(laughs): Ya that was fun. I gave you a wedgy and you didn’t even now. Hey wasn’t that on your 13th birthday. I can’t believe it’s nearing a year.
Brad: Well it will be 2007 after that. I remember the champions league final though.
Alan: Ya with Dorothy. She was so geek.
Brad: Everyone except Helena is geekish for you I think Alan.
Alan: Well you are not. See the ones I love are not geekish to me.
Brad: What about Tabitha?
Alan: Ahh my sister. 7 years older and bossy. Well she is neutral regarding my mother.
Brad: Well she is gone now isn’t she?
Alan: Well my dad is still in dejavu after that incident.
Brad: Well, ask him to marry another then
Alan: You crazy. I have two people who are bossy and you want me to bring one more. Even Helena is bossy sometimes. She can’t bare anyone touch her father’s golden mugs. She once kicked me when I carelessy dropped one in the floor.
Brad: It broke?
Alan”: No only a scar. But she kicked me and didn’t meet me for a week. Imagine without her for a week.
(Dorothy walks in)
Dorothy: Hey there you are. Alan your sister was looking for you. I told her you were here.
“Alan: Good geek-girl. That’s the 1st time you did something smart.
(Dorothy throws a rubber towards Alan which Brad catches)
Brad: Ignore him. But we need to impress Tabitha. If she gets a great job there maybe she will invite us there
Dorothy: Well I have been to Germany. I don’t want to go anywhere else at the end of the year.
Alan: You idiot. Brad was saying about the future not this month. You are a geek no doubt haha (laughs)
(Tabitha enters the geese)
(Congratulations) say all the three in a loud voice such that even the 12 people in the geese are horrified.
Tabitha: Ok Alan I will treat you 3 burgers and 3 pizzas and drinks only. You know I am moneystrucked at the moment.
Alan”: Comon I heard Father gave you a 700. And you are gonna treat us with 20 only.
Dorothy: That’s enough for me Tabitha. Thanks and wish you a great future ahead.
Tabitha: Now that’s what siblings should do unlike you Alan Timor.
Alan: Aren’t you a Timor too. What’s the point?
Brad( whispers to Dorothy): I never saw anyone manhandle Alan like his sister.
Alan: What was that. Ok Tabby you are becoming cheap then so will I.
Tabitha: And how will you do that…………………………….Alan………..Timor,
Alan(angry): You…………ok outside lets go ahead John Cena vs Trish Stratus.
Brad and Dorothy laughs.
Brad: Seriously John Cena.
Alan: Ya I got buns like cena and she has a waist like Stephanie’s mom.
Tabitha: Whatever Wrestling guy. Come to meet and ask for a 100 when you are mature enough. Here Brad here is a 50. Make sure Alan smells it. ( She laughs as she gives the 50 to Brad and pays for the 3 burgers, 3 pizzas and drinks and leaves)
Dorothy: That was quite rude Alan…………………….Timor (laughs)
Alan: Ok geek. Eat your burger and leave.
Brad: Comon bud. We have a new year coming and Eva has asked me to come in her Uncle’s barnyard. We three will go there and rock.
Alan”: Three?
Dorothy: And me too
Alan: Of-course ( Alan wipes his forehead)
The waiter brings their snacks.
