Rose and John: Detective Duo Chapter 1: Ballrooms

Instructions

Rose and John Pond are almost everything you could think of. Welllllllllll maybe not EVERYTHIIIIING.... But they are pretty good! They steal, but not for bad. For good. They stop bandits, and are most of all, Detectives. Well for now i ain't animating, but later i may remix this series into animations. Chapter 1: Ballrooms Rose woke up, troubled. John was troubled too, for they were going to pull off (hopefully) a life-saving operation. They both got up from their small bed, and got ready for "work" if saving the world counts as work. Rose put on a sparkling blue dress, and John put on a tuxedo. They were ready. Rose piled on layers and layers of lip gloss, not that she cared, but because she needed to blend in with the masquerade of ads for all sorts of lip disguises. She added diamond earrings as a last touch to her disguise. They walked out. Outside waiting for them was a fancy black limousine, and as soon as they go inside the driver said "I'm rolling the windows up cause i don't want to talk to you." And he did. After, Rose muttered "Suspicious...." "You think?" John replied. "Remember Denis?" They both giggled. "Oh I'll go look at the stolen jewels in the back. And we arrested him!! It turned out-" "He wasn't even the jewel thief!!" they said together. They could just about hear the driver saying "Keep it down in there! I don't wanna hear you... I wanna hear Elvis!" Rose said, quieter now, "Do..Do you think we can do it?" "I don't think so." John replied "You don't?" Rose asked "No. I know so." "Okay..... I hope you're right." They arrived at the ballroom. John gulped, and Rose trembled. They walked in. Inside, there was a woman in a fancy blue dress, with golden buttons and the same headband as Rose. "Hello, what are your names? May I see your ID?" "Uhhhhh....." John mumbled. "If you don't have ID, I can't let you in." "Just a second!" Rose told her. "Get the fake ID cards, for the people who couldn't show up... Sally and Ben Shodbean!" "Oh yeah!" He walked up to her, arms linked with Rose. "Our ID." "Sally and Ben Shodbean.. I thought you couldn't make it?" "Oh um, we changed plans at the last minute.." "Well! Sally, you seem to have found a pretty dress at last. I didn't want to upset you, but that red one last year... not the best..choice. Alright, head on in." "Thanks!" "My name's Mary. Mary Algeawinter, although you might know that already, and here's my husband, Tom. Oh To-om!!" A man wearing a dark red tuxedo and plaid pants walked in. His tuxedo has a red rose in it, and he had a nice smile. "Hello, I don't believe I've seen you before. Your names?" "Sally." Rose piped up. "Jo- Ben. We're the Shodbeans." "Ahhhh. Is it Joben, or Ben?" "Be-Ben.." "Okay, Ben. I'll show you inside now?" "Yes please." Rose said. "Follow me." He walked inside, his pants sagging a little with every step. It was a glorious display inside the Ballroom. Crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, red velvet carpets, and waiters and waitresses carrying trays of cocktails, biscuits, champagne, and spaghetti. The tables were waited with red tablecloths and silver cutlery, shining silver plates, golden wine glasses, and red and pink and white roses. Women with ball gowns danced and danced and danced. Rose wondered; did they ever get tired? Suddenly she heard Mary's voice through a loudspeaker, "Everyone! May I have your attention please? The Dinner will begin now! Please gather at the dining table to the right of the ballroom. The food will arrive soon. " Rose almost froze. The dinner! It was happening now? So early? John seemed to notice her growing despair. H ecae over laid his hand on her shoulder and said, "Hey. We can do this." "Okay....." They walked over to the dinner table. This one was much bigger than the small tables Rose had seen before. She guessed that was for 1 or 2 people, and this was for everyone coming to the ball. As they found their seats, a Countess was loudly blabbering on about her last husband. "And then he said "I want to go explore the Noland." Then-" "What's the Noland?" Rose asked. "Erm.. nothing! You don't worry dear." The food came the next minute, but Rose thought she saw the Countess, Countess Anne, writing on her napkins. she sent it flying like a Robin, or perhaps a Bluebird to Rose's plate. She read it under the table. "Meet me in the park at 3AM tonight." She caught Anne looking at her, and she gave a small little nod. THAT NIGHT "Do you think it's safe?" "What? The letter? Sure. " "No, I'm not talking about that check." "By the way, that was only the first ball. We can't miss a single ball up until Operation Save The People." She knew this already, but she just said a quiet yes. TO BE CONTINUED!! 2nd one is OUT! WIl be adding link: The picture will look a lot clearer where its from.
