Begin Again : Chapter 4 - Set Fire to the Rain

A long time ago, I didn't know what to do. As soon as I turned 18, I was forced from my house and ran. I didn't know how to start a family. All I knew, is I had to Begin Again...

"Hmm... What to make... Maybe a small salad will do?..."

Leefah sits down without speaking to Chasity.

"Sooooo... How'd the job hunt go?.." asked Chasity.

"Well...." Leefah began.

"I got hired at the grocery store... which I thought was a diner but I guess not." said Leefah nonchalantly.

"Wait.. So are you working at the grocery store or the diner or at all or WHAT?!" asked Chasity worriedly.

"The grocer, I'm some assistant bagger or whatever." said Leefah.

"How much are you making?" asked Chasity.

"Never asked..." said Leefah through a bite of Salad.

"So you took a job that you don't even know the payment for... WHAT IF YOU DON'T GET PAYED!" yelled Chasity.

"Then I guess I'll do the nice thing and work for free" said Leefah.

"You won't get anywhere here living like that. The grocery store cannot possibly help you pay for this house." said Chasity. She sighed as she likes to do, "Did you at least make any friends?" asked Chasity kindly.

"Actually, Yes. Her name is Adora. She was quite nice." said Leefah happily.

"Adora.... Adora.... OH NO! Not Adora Almeria! She's a total slutbag!" yelled Chasity.

Leefah sighed, clanking her fork on her plate.

She then smiled, "Guess I'm friends with a nice slutbag" said Leefah happily.

"I honestly have no idea how to get through to you..." said Chasity.

"Well I'm sorry that I complicate your life. So I'll punish myself by not finishing my dinner... perhaps I should feed it to the roaches outside?.." said Leefah.

"Wow... WAIT! Carry me to my tower to made me!... how much was it by the way?...." asked Chasity.

"1000 simoleons, plus and extra 200 for the pillow padding. The guy at the dump was happy to see me purchase it." said Leefah.
"Okay we need to have a talk about your spending habits..." said Chasity as Leefah headed out to feed the roaches.

Leefah rolled out of bed in her underwear and headed downstairs.

She walked over to the fridge.
"Morning Chasity, sleep well" asked Leefah.

"I slept fine... what are you making?" asked Chasity.

"I mean... not like I can eat anything..." said Chasity sadly.

"I'm making some raspberry waffles.... Wait... you can't eat?" asked Leefah.

"Sadly no... As a Will-O-The-Wisp, I can only survive on my energy I gain from resting...." said Chasity.

"Aww... Thats so sad. I'm sure there's something I can make for you to eat." said Leefah excitedly.

"So if I remember correctly... I put these in for 2 hours..." Leefah said to herself.

"WHAT?! WHY SO LONG?!" yelled Chasity.

"Um, I know what I'm doing. Two hours to get them nice and crispy." said Leefah happily.

"yeah... if Nice and Crispy means covered in black and burnt to the core" muttered Chasity.

"Alright.. So I turn the dial to the right to turn up the temperature..." said Leefah.

"Um... Do you know how to use an oven?... I only ask because I wanna know if my life as a Will-O-The-Wisp is in any danger..." asked Chasity worriedly.

"Uh..."

"Uhh as in 'Uhh no I don't know what I'm doing' or 'Uhh yeah I know how to use a freakin' oven so shut up Chasity!'" Chasity asked worriedly.

"I would never say shut up to you!" yelled Leefah.

"You just did....." joked Chasity.

"Oh dear... You're right... I am deeply sorry!" yelled Leefah ashamed with herself.

"It's like talking to an eggplant..." muttered Chasity.

"Maybe I should check on the waffles..." said Leefah. She opened the oven and flames shot out at her.

Chasity tried to look over but her cage wasn't far enough past the corner to see. "WHAT'S HAPPENING! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" yelled Chasity.

"I.... I think the waffles are on fire... Let me shut the oven..." Leefah yelled over the fire alarm.

"WHAT?! GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER?!" yelled Chasity.

"Hmm... Where did I put it... Oh wait! I remember. It wasn't on sale at the dump so I didn't buy it. The guy was gonna make me pay 300 for it and I was all like, NO WAY BRO!" said Leefah trying to calm Chasity.

"WHAT IDIOT DOESN'T BUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!" yelled Chasity angrily.

"No need to yell. The police will be here any second now."

"The police don't come for fires...."

"LIFEGUARD!! LIFEGUARD HELP US!!"

"Closer...."

"Oh dear.."

"What will all the roaches think when they see this place burnt to crisp!" yelled Leefah in panic.

"You are worried about roaches.... At a time like this..." said Chasity. She sighed and hit her head on the branch in her cage, "I honestly don't know why I came with you..."
