The next day came by, and Timothy went to open his locker and noticed the tag on it. "What the Hell is this?" he asked himself, he went to rip the tag off his locker, but it was unable to come off, so he disregarded it and opened his locker and a black box popped out.
Gloria went to meet Timothy at his locker, she saw the box and asked him "What's with the box?"
" I have no clue and I don't even want to open it."
"Maybe it's from an admirer!"
"Yeah, I highly doubt that it's probably from a short pissed off Asian woman." said Timothy with the utmost confidence in his theory.
He took his books and got ready for class and shut his locker and they started walking to homeroom, "You’re not a little curious about what is in the box?" asked Gloria.
"Nope not at all, if you want you can have it."
"It's ok, it's yours bring it home."
They got to the homeroom door, Timothy let Gloria go in first, they took their seats and Timothy brought something to Gloria's attention "Hey, Gloria my parents are leaving tonight for two weeks, so if you want to come over and do this art project with me that would be cool."
"You're feeling lazy aren't you." said Gloria with suspicion.
"Don't worry you won't be doing my project or most of the work for it I promise." said Timothy with a smile. He puts his pinky out and she does the same and they make a pinky promise.
"So, their flight is at eight so come by at seven so we can drop them off and work on this project." informed Timothy. The bell rang and class started in session.
School was over, Timothy grabbed the box and brought it home with him without opening it. He got home and went to his room, but the box was giving off a strange vibe giving him an eerie feeling, so he threw it in the corner. He put his school things away, grabbed some snacks in the kitchen and headed back to the front of his house. Timothy sat in his living room watching television flicking through channels until he found a show that he liked saying to himself "Crap, crap, really crap, super crap, not even going to acknowledge this show, well here we go.". He had found a marathon for one of his favorite shows and decided to watch it for four hours until his doorbell rings, He goes to answer it,
"Hey Timothy!" greeted Lucille with passion.
Timothy sighed and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"
Lucille puts her foot in Timothy's doorway, and joyfully cried "I'm just spreading the word of my..."
Timothy cut her off "Go away, I don't want to hear it today!" He went to close the door but noticed Lucille' foot in the way, "Girl move your foot!" exclaimed Timothy.
"What's happening down there?" asked Timothy's mother from upstairs.
Timothy turned his head towards his house "Nothing I got this!", he returned to Lucille, Timmothy told her "Go kick rocks, go to another house or something, just don't be in my front yard right now, bye.", he gives her a nudge out his doorway and closes his door.
Outside his house Lucille is having a conversation with another person, "Girl, why are you still in front of my house and Gloria what are you doing?" questioned Timothy.
"Going to your house?" she answered with a puzzled look on her face.
Timothy shot a glare at Lucille, "Enjoy your night you two." said Lucille with her nervous eye twitch kicking in walking to the next house.
Gloria walked into the house "Ma, dad Gloria is here, so I’m going to be waiting outside!" screamed Timothy.
"Hello, how are you!" she said in a loud but polite tone.
"Hi, Gloria we are good, how are you, and we'll meet you at the car then!" replied the parents.
"That's good to hear, I'm well, I'll be waiting in the car for you guys!" she responded.
"Okay!"
Timothy and Gloria were in the car waiting for Timothy’s parents, "Come sit in the front; by the way, I got to show you something when we get back!" said Timothy in excitement.
"Why didn't you show me when I first came to your house, I'm sure we had enough time and is it what was in that box?" questioned Gloria.
"Because I don't want my parents to find out and no."
The parents got to the car and sat in the back and Timothy drove them off to the airport.
They got to the airport in twenty minutes at the departure section, "Enjoy your flight guys!" said Gloria in excitement for them.
Timothy got their luggage, hugged them, and told them "Have a safe trip and don't let any of the officials fondle you at the metal detectors.
"We will and we won't and keep the house in good condition and get home safe." they replied in jokingly manner then a serious one.
Both parties waved at each other as Timothy and Gloria drove off.
They got back to his house and Timothy went to show her the thing he wanted to show her, he pulled the book out.
"What's with the book?" she asked.
"I'm going to summon Giselle Easel."
"Do you really believe that I mean I didn't expect this from you of all people, but maybe we should do this tomorrow after school since we have a half day and can make preparations for our encounter with this woman."
"I think you’re afraid but sure just for you," he said with a comforting smile on his face.
They sat on the couch and continued to watch the marathon that was on, "You want to order some food?" Timothy asked.
"Sure, I'll just have some of what you're having."
"Well, I'll get us a pie what kind do you want?" he asked.
"Plain is okay."
Timothy went to his house phone and ordered a pie from the local pizzeria. "We got to wait thirty minutes," he told Gloria.
In those thirty minutes they discussed the plan for summoning Giselle Easel and made a list of things to get. They set a time and place to start their gathering of materials, and then the pizza came, Timothy and the pizza guy went through the transaction. Timothy brought out plates and cups and they ate.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
The next day came by, and it was after school, they scanned through the book for a list of materials to get for the summon. "We really don't have to get anything," said Timothy in surprise.
"We should probably get some stuff for safety measures, if she is going to be on fire," stated Gloria. She took out a piece of paper and wrote a list of suggested things to get.
Timothy watched her write it and asked, "What is all of this?"
"The list silly, now let’s go get this stuff."
The list consisted of water, a net, and a dazzling light. Gloria started walking away and Timothy grabbed her arm and questioned her "Why do we need a net?"
"Didn't you read the book?"
"Yeah, I did but I still don't think the net is necessary."
"Lets just get the stuff."
They went to the local store to pick up the items. Timothy hung his head and mumbled to Gloria in the store "I'm mad he has a net that big, like why does anyone need a net that big.",
"Maybe for the same reason we do," she whispered back jokingly.
The clerk pulled out a thirty-foot net and asked, "Do you have a boat to go fishing out in the ocean with?"
Timothy and Gloria looked at each other and answered slowly "Uh huh," nodding their heads.
"I would usually charge you thirty but since you are such young fishermen, you can get it for fifteen dollars."
"We'll take it..." said Timothy in shame.
They did the transaction and the clerk told them, "Have a nice day enjoy your fishing trip, I'm sure you'll do good." he said with the utmost confidence in them.
"Thanks... have a good one..." they responded.
They got out of the store and Timothy turned to Gloria and blurted out "I can't believe I paid fifteen dollars for a D!"
"Well next time you should do better earlier on, so we won't have this problem, even though this is the last thing," she said sternly.
"Can you please stop riding me about this and help me get this done," he pleaded.
They went to Timothy's house and got the set up ready in his backyard. The set up consisted of a painting canvas, water hose connected to the house, an intense light and them in red colored shirts with white letters on them reading P.P.A. (people protecting animals) holding a net. "I just don't understand the reason for the P.P.A shirts, I don't think the shirts will faze her in anyway, do you want us to get holy water because she might be an "evil" spirit?" Timothy stated.
Gloria put the net down and started walking in the house, "That's a good idea!" she said with great energy.
"Get back over here, we're not using holy water, I'm not waiting for some old dude to do hand signs and talk over water and probably spit in it to, you know how old people got the overflowing mouths and things of that nature!"
She stopped walking and told him "We can make out own holy water."
Timothy sighed, "We don't need holy water, we need to hold this net and do this chant."
Gloria submitted to Timothy's reason and went back to her spot and held the net. Timothy cracked open the book and did the chant "Little Giselle Easel/ the girl riding a flaming gazelle/ will you help me stop being a worthless slacker/ help put an end to my chapter/ in the life of a procrastinator/ I will put now to later/ so have my back you wonderful girl/ have my back you wonderful girl.”
The sky had gotten grey, and a grey hole appeared behind Timothy with silhouettes of a child and a gazelle on fire, Gloria pointed behind Timothy "Look!" she yelled.
Timothy turned around and was greeted with a hello by the shadowy figure. Timothy waved in confusion, the shadowy figure hugged the gazelle goodbye and walked out the hole as it closed on her pet. The girl is wearing a pink dress, pink slippers, with a pink bow and a whistle around her neck, holding a basket and mimicked the facial features of Gloria. She walked up to the canvas and cried out in frustration, "I can't reach!"
"Wait I'll have you draw inside on the floor so it will be easier for you." Timothy said.
She accepted those terms, and the group went inside with the canvas.
Standing in the living room Giselle asked, "What do you want a picture of?" Timothy showed her a picture of him winning an athlete of the month award and asked her to draw it. She pulled out her magic art supplies and started doing work on the canvas, it took her about two hours to finish but it was complete and perfect.
"Thanks kid!" Timothy said in excitement, he pulled the book back out and went to the return page and saw that it was missing, he closed the book and looked down at the floor in disappointment.
Both of the girls asked, "What's the matter?"
"I don’t have the page that returns Giselle home."
"It's ok I can only stay around for three weeks anyway, then I go back home automatically, this has happened to me before." Giselle said.
"Since you did my art project, I'll let you sleep on my coach until I find a way for you to go home." Timothy stated.
Night had fallen and Timothy made up the couch, so Giselle had somewhere to sleep. Gloria told Timothy that she would be back tomorrow to check up on them both. Giselle grabbed Gloria’s leg and asked for a bedtime story, “Aw how cute is that, you got any books suitable for a child?” asked Gloria.
“Of course not, what kind of question was that, look for an e-book.” answered Timothy.
Gloria went to Timothy's laptop and looked for an e-book version of a childhood classic of theirs. Scrolling down the list she found one, ‘The Three Turtles and a Dolphin,’ “I got it Giselle, this should be a good one for you!” Gloria said in excitement.
“Hold up, can I get comfy?” Giselle said she pulled out a sheet of paper and drew herself pajamas, slippers and a teddy bear and the drawings turned into real life objects.
Timothy was amazed by her abilities “Damn that's crazy, I see you forgot to color your items in though, but that's still amazing!”
Giselle splashed brown paint on her products, “Here we go, uh now where can I change?”
“In the bathroom, Gloria can you show her the bathroom and help her.” requested Timothy.
Gloria showed Giselle the bathroom and helped her change into her pajamas.
The girls came back into the living room, Giselle crawled onto the couch, Gloria sat by her feet with the laptop and was preparing to read the story to Giselle. Timothy tucked Giselle in, “I think your supposed to do that first.” he told Gloria.
Gloria looked at him, Timothy looked back, and Giselle looked at both of them and asked for a glass of water. They both looked at her and simultaneously they both answered, Gloria answered “Yes.”
While Timothy replied “No,”
Giselle looked at Timothy and questioned him, “Why not?”
“Because you will pee on the couch.”
Gloria shook her head and got up, “Don't get the water!” Timothy exclaimed.
Gloria glared at him, Timothy walked over to her, and Giselle rolled out from under the covers and walked up to them and stated, “I don't pee the bed.”
Timothy knelled down to her level and said, “I'm just trying to keep my house clean, when you wake up you can have your glass of water,” said Timothy calmly.
Giselle gave him a puzzled look and screamed, “But I'm thirsty now, how will waiting for light help me?”
“For light, did you just say for light?” Timothy asked all tranquil.
“Yes, for light, that's what we say, where I'm from!” yelled Giselle.
Before Gloria could ask Giselle where she is from, Timothy cut her off, put three fingers up and sternly told Giselle “Look, look, look, where we're from and where all three of us are at right now we call it morning and we don't raise our voices when it's dark out, that's how people get in trouble, so go back to the couch and go to bed.”
Gloria just shook her head and Giselle caught it in the corner of her eye and pointed to her, telling him “I don't think she is agreeing with you.”
Timothy gotten back up out of his knelling stance, “Gloria if she pees on my couch tonight, you're cleaning it up in the morning, I swear!” Timothy said in a loud tone.
“I thought you said no yelling, when it's dark out?” questioned Giselle.
“I was asserting myself.”
Gloria shook her head and went into the kitchen, “I don't think so, but I won't give you trouble since I'm getting water.” Giselle said.
Timothy thought to himself he better make sure it is not a lot of water. Gloria came back with half a glass of water, Gloria reached her hand out to Giselle, but Timothy intervened, “Wait, how old are Giselle?” he asked.
She put out her right hand and answered “Five.”
“That's still bed wetting age, Gloria, especially with that much water.”
Giselle looked at them, looked at the couch and then back to them, and stated, “I think that's a couch.”
“She got you there,” said Gloria with confidence that Timothy would let her drink the water.
“Yeah, either way you might urinate on something that doesn't need to be urinated on.” Timothy retaliated.
Gloria went around Timothy and gave Giselle the water and told Timothy, “You already said she could have it.”
Timothy sighed and watched Giselle drink the water, “Okay, all done, here you go,” she said handing Gloria the water, she went back to the couch and tucked herself in. Timothy took the cup from Gloria and told her to take Giselle to the bathroom. Timothy washed the cup out in the kitchen and waited for the girls to come back to the living room.
The girls came back, “Okay let’s do this again,” Gloria said.
Giselle crawled onto the couch, Timothy tucked her in, and Gloria sat at the edge of the couch and picked up the laptop ready to read the e-book to Giselle. Gloria read the cover of the Three Turtles and the Dolphin. Giselle just fell right asleep. “What the hell you put in that water?” asked Timothy.
“Nothing, it came out your tap with the filter on, maybe she's just tired from the trip.”
“Well okay, I'm just hoping she doesn't wet the couch, and I won't forget about tomorrow alright.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow, have a good night, let me know how she is.” said Gloria going to the door.
“I will, goodnight,” said Timothy seeing her out the house.
