Mac and Bloo ran outside, hoping they could catch Frankie before she drove away. Although Bloo only wanted that because otherwise he'd have to have Mac carry him back home, and it was such a bumpy ride.
"Frankie, wait!!"
Frankie paused at the voice. Was it some handsome man from inside who was running to comfort her? The thought was very sweet, so she turned and saw...
"Oh. It's you! Look, i'm really sorry about your coat and I hope that I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!!!" She shifted from sorry to angry as Bloo started walking casually into the Foster's bus. He snickered.
"Bus-ted!" Frankie grabbed Bloo by the top of his head and held him close to her clenched teeth. She was SO tempted to bite him. "YOOOUUU!!!! YOU RUINED MY NIGHT AGAIN!!!!" She raised him up to spike him like a football.
"AAA!! Mac, do something!! Frankie's mad at me for some reason!"
"I should let her! But, if she did it, you might die, so I guess I want her to put you down. Please, don't spike him, Frankie. I'm sure he didn't mean anything...too vicious."
"Oh, no! You have no idea what this little freak has put me through!! Well, this time, i'm not just gonna make him sweep and mop! This time....!!"
"Frankie, no!!"
She glared at Bloo, who was gazing at her with his famous puppy-eyes. They didn't faze her in the least. "What, did you get some derelict to help you out because Wilt wouldn't!?"
"Some what?"
"DERELICT!!! A bum!!"
"Ha-ha, (sing-song voice) Frankie called you a bu-um."
"No, it's me...."
Her voice softened. "I'm really sorry he dragged you into this. Here, take this." She dug into her purse and pulled out four dollars. She gave them to Mac. "Now, please, don't look. It's gonna be gruesome. (she glared at Bloo again) I promise," she hissed. "Oh, and if some kid comes through your shantytown asking about someone named Bloo, don't tell him I did this, ok? It'd break his heart."
"Frankie, that's Mac!! You don't wanna squash me in front of him, do ya?"
"Yeah, right!" She raised him again.
"No, it IS me! I'm Mac!"
"Don't help him! He's not worth the trouble."
Mac explained about Goo's new creation and how he aged him and how sorry he was he went along with Bloo's plan, even though he swore he wouldn't be mean.
"Traitor,' Bloo mumbled indignantly.
"Uh...wow." It was all she could get out. |
