Chapter 20.5 second act and a surprise emergency
"AND NOW!" Mr Blister started to rumble into the microphone..! "What some of you have all been waiting for..!"
Honestly, I'm starting to think that Mom is right, Like... What if Mr Beesly actually got hurt!
"Mr. Beesly will do his most death defying trick EVER!"
That's when a man in a brightly yellow and black bee striped jacket and came out and started a buzz!
Like what I mean is that the whole audience started buzzing! I mean, it was so loud that some of the show dogs that we are trying to get adopted for the second half of our act are getting bothered!
"Mom?" Well... My Beesley's unicycle show just started, and guess what... I think that Mom is talking to my imaginary friend..!
(Picture of mom talking to transparent person as she stands in the entrance with Baby Milo and Mr Beesly is doing his unicycle show and Narrie Middlecreek is kinda worried...)
Narrie Middle creek here and I have a secret, I have an overactive imagination, yeah, I personally don't think there's anything "wrong" about it, but...
That old lady, the one who Momma Kate is talking to? I'm pretty certain that she's my Momma Laurie's grammy who I'll never get to meet in person, and if this is like last time... Grampa Alexander is around here too!"
I'm excitingly looking around at the dogs because Momma Laurie says that I remind her of him that way. So I think he's with the dogs that are looking for new homes!
"Hi!" Momma Kate waved to the wall and said to someone..? Or my imaginary grammy? AKA The angel who brought us here..! If Mom sees her maybe she's real! "I haven't seen you since the wedding."
"You gonna watch your grandbaby's performance?" Mom sighed as my namesake continued to blankly watch Mr Beesly's death defying act of crossing on ever growing smaller and taller stone structures while buoy balloons are swinging at him from both sides!!!
"Oh well." Mom sighed and said, "It was nice seeing you again."
I looked at mom, received a good luck hug, and smiled, because, like, with my family and friends here I've got a lot of good luck!
Stolen novel; please report.
"Narrie." Ben held his hand out, "You ready?"
"Okay..." I looked at my prince and walked with him, but not hand to hand to the center podium and tried to give him my thoughts with a smile.
'Just because I don't need your hand, doesn't mean I don't still need you though! Ben, I hope that you realize that.'
It's just that... Number 1, I'm 11 now, a free woman! I'm just trying to figure things out!
Number 2. I'm honestly not sure about things... I'm only 11! My brain is still developing!
And number 3... "Mom don't need no body," That attitude still plays in my head even though Momma Laurie is currently holding her hand and they probably need each other just as much as I need them and my friends!
"Let's do this!" I took Ben's hand and... Well! That's when the fun started!
(Comic picture diagram to follow of our performance.)
so in this, there was two circus poles, and the two of us are going to twirl to the middle, change, and twirl back!
We climbed, then we twirled, and then we flipped around and it was incredible! And then... I heard a bark and... I should have been ready for this, we practiced it enough times! I mean...
First I smelled smoke. Then the clowns were acting erratically... I know that we rehearsed this part and it's safe but..!
Well! Instead of acting appropriately, I was dazed with the dogs barking around me while some figure seemed to point at me from behind the smoke and say, "I need you."
"Narrie!" Ben woke me up as I was overwhelmed and exclaimed, "Fire!"
I looked again and yeah! There she was, Grammy Trish Alexander in full colour, and not the one that's sitting with my uncle and cousin neither! But the one I saw in my dreams and promised me that everything would be alright.
Except..! "Hup hup hup"
The silly clown are calling the dog carrying water fire brigade and that's when we started our real show!
Which was... Simply to navigate down ALL OF THESE HOOPS!
See, Mr Blister had several laying around and I kinda wonder why... Anyways, I got to climb through the loops in an interestingly funny way with all of the balancing tape and metal hoops!
So we started our performance of going from loop to loop and walking between them and standing on top and climbing down and Ben helped center my foot when it fell and..,.!
NO! I didn't fall on the pool of foam! Ben caught me!
Sigh!
And then we performed our act spinning down back to the ground as the clowns were going HUP HUP HUP!
It was so funny!
Oh the suspense! As WE, Me and Ben have to put out a mock fire to save the dogs that are hopefully finding forever homes soon!
"Narrie. LOOK!" Momma Lauri waved her arms helplessly as she pointed a sign toward a HUGE aquarium with several candles smoking oil lamps inside and shouted "FIRE!"
"Narrie..!" Momma Kate is playing her part by looking so worried with those dogs but..! "HEY Ben!" He's holding a water hose and..! "Why're you spraying my face!"
That's when the hose went, dead...
Ben, yes Ben my boyfriend made a great not first, but early impression as he saved the day by throwing a bucket of water and putting out the fire, but not before the clowns decided to make a big show of things and shoot fire retardant everywhere!
And I mean everywhere.!
