--Time Waster # 25--
Cami: CARLOS! Where are you!?
Sal: *Walks in without knocking* 'Sup?
Cami: *Looks at Sal* Can I help you?
Sal: What? You don't knock on my door. Why should I knock on yours?
Cami: Fine, whatever. Will you help me find Carlos?
Sal: Who's Carlos this time?
Cami: He's my pet rock.
Sal: o_O You have a pet rock? Why?
Cami: Because he's beautiful! *Looks under the couch* Oh, found him. *Pulls out a black rock and snuggles it* I've missed you, Carlos!
Sal: Riiight.. Are you ready yet?
Cami: For what?
Sal: We're going to the outdoor carnival thingy!
Cami: ... No thanks.
Sal: Why?
Cami: Carnivals have clowns that blow up balloons and make animals with them for you.
Sal: What's so bad about that?
Cami: That's how they lure you in! Then they go from happy to evil-with-sharp-teeth and kill you!
Sal: Did you watch the movie IT?
Cami: I couldn't even finish it! It was so terrifying!
Sal: *Rolls her eyes* It's just a movie.
Cami: Yeah? Well I also saw House of Fears and that movie also had a clown. And would you like to know what that clown did, Sal?
Sal: Not really.
Cami: I'm telling you anyway! He murdered a guy who's biggest fear was clowns. Also, I saw--
Sal: Okay! Shut up about the freaking clowns! I'll make sure we don't run into any, alright?
Cami: ... Is Darren coming?
Sal: Yes.
Cami: Is Alfred coming?
Sal: *Rolls her eyes* Unfortunately.
Cami: How about Charlie and Jack?
Sal: I don't know, I haven't seen them in forever.
Cami: Well, maybe they'll show up.
Sal: They usually do. But then they disappear again for about two weeks.
Cami: Oh well, let's go.
Sal: Okay.
*AT THE CARNIVAL*
Darren: Hey gu- what is Cami doing?
Cami: *Is putting a little tuxedo on her pet rock* He's Bond. Carlos Bond!
Alfred: No, that's James Bond.
Cami: I'm trying to make him cool! Don't ruin it!
Alfred: *Rolls his eyes*.
Cami: Let's go where you can be appreciated Carlos!
Sal: And where might that be?
Cami: Wherever food is.
Sal: That's your favorite place, not his.
Cami: How would you know!?
Sal: He's a rock! He can't eat!
Cami: You're just jealous!! *Runs to the food area*.
Charlie: She's so dramatic.
Sal: Charlie! You're here! Oh, and with Jack.
Jack: Glad to know I'm appreciated.
Sal: Yeah, not really.
Jack: I was being sarcastic.
Sal: I know.
Jack: -_-
*A COUPLE MINUTES LATER*
Cami: *Runs by* GET HIM AWAY!! *Hides behind Charlie*.
Charlie: What are you doing?
Cami: That clown is trying to get me to give him Carlos so he can turn him into an actual agent!
Clown: *Walks over* Jeez you run fast. I was only offering to turn your tuxedo rock into a real person.
Cami: No thanks! Go away!!
Charlie: *Rolls her eyes* Cami, it's only make-up. He's just a normal guy in a clown suit.
Cami: Well he's freaky. And clowns don't do magic!! Well not the kind you're talking about.
Clown: Well I'm also a magician.
Cami: *Gives Carlos to Charlie* Give him to the clown.
Charlie: *Rolls her eyes* Yeah, I guess your arms don't work. *Hands the rock to the clown*.
Cami: If you kill my rock, I'll retaliate.
Clown: But he--
Sal: Don't bother trying to convince her he isn't even alive. It's hopeless.
Cami: Shut up.
Clown: *Pulls out a magic wand and says a bunch of random words*.
*CARLOS THE ROCK TURNS INTO A REAL PERSON*
Cami: *Screams and runs away*.
Sal: AWESOME!!
Charlie: How'd you do that!!
Clown: Well I didn't think it would actually work.
Carlos: I used to be a real person. Before an evil witch that looks like you-- *points to Sal* -- turned me into a rock.
Sal: I didn't do it!
Carlos: Well, I need to get back to my old life. I've been a rock for two months and my family thinks I'm dead.
Sal: Accuse me of anything again and you will be.
Carlos: Um... Tell Cami thank you.
Clown: I'm the one that turned you into a person!
Carlos: Yeah but you're also pretty freaky. Ooh tacos. *Walks away*.
Sal: He's like a guy version of Cami.
Cami: *Comes back over with a taco* Where'd Carlos go?
Sal: Uhh.. to get a taco. He said thanks.
Clown: She did nothing!
Cami: I brought him to you!
Clown: You ran away from me at first!
Cami: Yeah, but I still gave him to you!
Charlie: Actually, you made me do it.
Cami: *Rolls her eyes* Oh be quiet. *Takes a bite of the taco* I'm gonna go find Carlos so we can talk about tacos. *Leaves*.
Darren: >:( I hate Carlos.
Sal: Awwh--
Darren: Shut up!
Sal: >:P Grump.
*THE NEXT DAY*
Cami: *Is sitting on Sal's counter eating cereal with Carlos at five in the morning*.
Sal: *Walks in and flips the light on* I need some wat- What are you doing in my house!?
Carlos: Having breakfast.
Sal: It's too early for that! This is actually the earliest Cami's ever been up.
Cami: Well Carlos brought over Captain Crunch. How could I say no to that?
Sal: Why didn't you eat at your house, then?
Cami: We were out of milk.
Sal: *Sighs* How did he even know where you lived?
Cami: He used to live in my rock garden, duh.
Sal: Rock garden?
Carlos: *Shrugs* I don't know why she has it either.
Sal: So why are you hanging out together? No offense...
Carlos: Cami saved my life.
Sal: Oh please, even I know the clown is the one who saved you from a life of getting crapped on by birds.
Carlos: But Cami brought me to the clown.
Sal: Not on purpose!
Carlos: *Rolls his eyes and whisper to Cami* She's being difficult.
Cami: Try living with her.
Sal: You don't live he-- *Shrugs* I guess you practically do.
Cami: Actually, I was talking about Drew. Poor kid is related to her.
Carlos: Oh. *Nods*.
Sal: *Rolls her eyes* I need water and then I'm going back to bed. If you're still here in the morning.. well I guess there's nothing I can do about that.
Carlos: You could kick us out.
Sal: Cami always finds a way back in, even if all the doors and windows are locked. And if you're anything like her, I don't doubt that you will, too.
Carlos: ^_^
*LATER - AT NOON*
Sal: I can't believe I slept for so long. *Walks into the kitchen and sees Cami and Carlos sitting in the same place but eating sandwiches* What are you still doing here!?
Cami: Having lunch.
Sal: Did you ever leave!?
Cami: No.
Sal: *Groans in frustration* Get out of my house! It's Sal's Alone Day!
Cami: Mmmmm no.
Sal: *Rolls her eyes* Well I tried. *Starts making toaster waffles*.
Cami: That smells good...
Sal: Eat your sandwich.
Cami: Jerk.
Sal: So what do you guys wanna do today?
Cami: Oh, Carlos and I are gonna go to the mall and play in the fountain.
Sal: What are you, eight?
Cami: *Glares*.
*LATER THAT DAY - AT THE PARK*
Darren: *Walks over to the swings with Alfred* Hey Sal.
Sal: You know, I think this is our new hang out.
Alfred: Maybe we come here too much...
Darren: *Shrugs* So where's Cami?
Sal: Hanging out with Carlos.
Darren: >:|
Alfred: Don't be jealous.
Darren: You get jealous whenever a guy talks to Sal.
Alfred: Pfft! I do not.
Darren: Really? So when we were at the carnival and that guy came over and started talking to Sal, throwing ice cream at him had nothing to do with being jealous?
Sal: THAT WAS YOU!?
Alfred: Uh...
Sal: BECAUSE OF YOU, HE AVOIDED ME THE REST OF THE DAY WE WERE THERE!
Alfred: Um.. I'm sorry?
Sal: Now would be a good time to run.
Alfred: Right. *Quickly runs away*.
Sal: *Picks up a stick and chases after Alfred*.
Cami & Carlos: *Walk over to Darren*.
Cami: Why is Sal chasing Alfred with a stick?
Darren: She found out that he was the one who made that guy avoid her at the carnival.
Cami: Ah.
Darren: *Crosses his arms* So Carlos.
Cami: Oh great.
Darren: What's your name?
Carlos: Uh.. You just said it.
Darren: I thought Cami made that up.
Cami: No, the name Carlos was painted on the rock. Which is lucky for me because it's my favorite name. :D
Carlos: Well, I have to... *Leaves*.
Cami: Now what?
Darren: We can egg his house.
Cami: *Sighs* At least you aren't as bad as Alfred when people try to talk to Sal.
Darren: It's actually pretty funny when it happens with him.
Cami: *Smiles and nods in agreement*.
