Berry a la Flora

[Mayor Adam West]

A girl had come to Foster?s, she was at least fifteen years old, seeming rather old to have a imaginary friend, but instead, she was greeted by Frankie.
?So, you?re here for an imaginary friend, are you?? she asked her.
?Well, kinda, I mean, I?m seeing if a friend I got rid of is still here? replied the girl.
?What was the name of the friend??
?Her name was Berry?
?Wait?did you say Berry?? Frankie asked.
?Yeah, why?s that??
?Well, she?s?how do I put this? She didn?t stay very long, I mean, she got real annoyed because she didn?t get Bloo for herself? replied Frankie.
?I was afraid of that? the girl told Frankie.
?Whoa, wait a second, you knew??
?Yeah, that?s the reason I had to get rid of her?

***

?Well, you see, it started, pretty much overnight, a lot was going on my mind then and I guess that I imagined her overnight? her voice then drowned out as it went into a flashback.
The girl opened her eyes to see an imaginary friend there ?Hi there!? the friend yelled, but not too loudly.
The girl yelled back in surprise ?Who are you??
?Um, your imaginary friend, duh? the friend replied back
?Um, okay? the girl sat up ?I?m Jenifer of course, and you are??
?I think you?re suppose to name me, but I do like the name Berry already?
?Ok, Berry?um, I have to go and get ready for school so I uh, I guess I?ll have to see you later on after school?? replied Jenifer with a pause before she headed over to get some clothes on.
?Yeah, but, but?? begun Berry, before Jenifer interrupted again.
?Look, Berry, I?m sorry, but I?m not suppose to have an imaginary friend, let alone, have you, I must?ve made you by mistake, I mean, I had a lot of things on my mind, but uh, after school, I?ll talk to you about it?or something? Jenifer told Berry as she grabbed her school bag and took off, leaving Berry all alone.
?But, but?? Berry begun, only to see herself, not being heard with Jenifer already gone.
Berry just sighed as she walked off, throughout the house to go and see what else there was to do, but so far, had found nothing of interest.

Jenifer had returned back home, where Berry was waiting, looking rather bored ?Oh yeah, that?s right?? Jenifer seemed to mumble as she walked over to Berry ?Listen, Berry, I?m sorry alright, I wasn?t in the mood to talk, and I guess that now I am, we can have a talk or something, I mean, now that I think of it, you?re a cool friend to have around?
?I know I am? replied Berry, in her cute tone.
?And I wouldn?t trade you for anyone in the world?
?Really??
?Yeah, really?

The next morning however, was different, apart from it being the weekend, Berry wasn?t looking too pleased at all ?Um, are you okay Berry?? Jenifer asked the moment she woke up.
?That depends on what you call this? Berry pulled another imaginary friend over ?She ?appeared? overnight, did you so happen to imagine her overnight??
?I don?t remember her that much?well, kinda??
?Kinda?? Berry asked back, still not sounding pleased.
?I mean, I kinda do remember her in my dreams, and I guess I kinda, sorta, imagined her to be real?
?But, I thought I was suppose to be your best friend!?
?Calm down Berry, Flora isn?t dangerous or anything?
Berry?s eye twitched ?You named her?!? her voiced, now raised a little bit.
?Berry, look, I?m sorry, but it was an accident too, I didn?t mean to imagine her too?
Flora was green, but also part plant too, her arms a little bit leafy, and also had a leaf-like dress on too. Her head was different too, the top of her head, going into a plant bulb, where she had a sort of sweet voice too ?Um, if I can interrupt for a second?
Berry shot a glance to Flora and snapped at her ?No!? silencing Flora for the time being.
?Okay Berry, look, me and my mum have to go out and will be back, so for now, you and Flora will have to try and get along until we get back? Jenifer told Berry as she headed to the door ?So try and be nice to her? she had then left, leaving Berry alone with Flora.

?So um, you?re uh?Berry?? Flora said, sound a little freaked out.
?Look, I hate to break this to you?well?actually, I do want to, but you?re not suppose to be here at all, you see, I was the first one she imagined and she said that I was her best friend, not some strange flower?thing like you, me, me and me alone, you don?t belong here? replied Berry.
?Yeah, but Jenifer is also my creator, so I have to stay here too, cause she wants me here too?
?Did you not here a word that I even said? She doesn?t want you here, she never did and she never will?
?Yeah, but she never said that?
?That?s cause she doesn?t want to hurt your feelings, but me? Well, I don?t mind doing so, I mean after all, you?re just one of those things that doesn?t belong here?
Flora looked upset at that point and without warning, she had left in tears, with Berry just grinning to herself.

Jenifer returned later on, only to see Flora gone ?Um Berry, where?s Flora?? she asked.
?Oh her, she left? Berry replied.
?She did?? she then glared at Berry ?What did you say to her??
?Oh nothing, apart from the truth?
?The truth? You told her lies so that she got upset and just left??
Berry was speechless at first ?But, but??
?Look Berry, I don?t care anymore, she was my friend too, and you got rid of her?how could you??
?But we were suppose to be friends! Not some stupid imaginary friend like her! No! We were and nothing more!? Berry?s voice was raised a bit now.
?Berry?just?? Jenifer then sighed ?Just leave alright?
?What!?? she yelled back.
?Since you?re going to be like this, just jealous, then you can leave?
Berry was again speechless before she just begun to grumble as she had no actual choice but to leave.

***

?And that was it, I was expecting her to come here, but it seems like her jealously has gotten the better of her? Jenifer continued on.
?Wow, did you ever get Flora back?? Frankie asked back.
?Yeah, after a day or so, I found her?
?So, where is she now??
?Oh, she?s here, just meeting the other friends at the moment, so in other words, I?m still keeping her, well, for now anyway?
?I see, well, I?m sorry, but Berry isn?t around at all? replied Frankie.
?Oh, I see?

Flora was looking around in the back yard where she saw the cage where the Extreme-O-Saurus as she heard the growling of it, where she gulped ?Si, it is rather scary isn?t it?? it was Eduardo.
Flora turned to Eduardo ?Um, what?s in there?? she asked.
?A terrible monster, a real terrible monster? replied Eduardo.
?Oh?well, I?m Flora? she told Eduardo, trying to change the subject.
?I?m Eduardo? replied Eduardo.
?Cool name?
?Si, thanks, are you new here??
?Oh no, I?m here with my creator, we were looking for someone? sighed Flora, still not happy at what Berry had said to her that time.
Although, soon, they were interrupted by someone else ?Hey Eduardo? it was Mac who first looked at Eduardo before looking at Flora ?Who are you??
?I?m Flora, I?m here with my creator, trying to find someone?
?Oh? Who is that?? Mac asked back.
?Her name is Berry??
Mac?s expression changed rather quickly ?Oh um, I hate to break it to you, but Berry isn?t that nice, I mean, she tried to get rid of me twice?
?I know, she tried doing that to me too? replied Flora.
?Oh, so who?s idea is it to get her back??
?My creator?s idea, she wants to apologize to her or something? Flora told Mac.

However, what happened next is something no one did really expect was to see Berry ?That does it Mac! I tried to play miss nice Berry, but no! It just doesn?t work out does it!?? she was sounding rather angry before her look turned to Flora ?You!?
Flora did give a quick gulp ?I mean?you?? Berry asked more ?sweetly? than usual.
?Um yeah, um Jenifer?s looking for you? replied Flora.
?Uh-oh? was all she said, as to her, Jenifer was the only one she really cared about.
?And does Jenifer know what you did to Mac?? Flora asked back.
?He told you!?? replied Berry, still sounding a little freaked out.
?Well, kinda?
Mac seemed to grin as seconds later he turned and ran to the house ?You?re in so much trouble now Berry?
?Shut up, no one asked you? Berry snarled back to Flora as she then went and followed Mac.

Inside, Jenifer spoke up the moment she saw Berry ?Well, well, well, Berry, I heard what you?ve been trying to do to Mac and trying to get this Bloo guy to fall in love with you? Jenifer didn?t sound all too pleased with her.
?What!?? she yelled back at first before she calmed herself down ?I mean, that?s not?true??
?Don?t lie Berry, I pretty much know you inside out, your jealously had come from me, but unlike me, you can?t seem to get over it?
?Yeah, but, but?? Berry started to whine for once.
Flora walked into the room where the group was ?You?ve got to learn that now, I think that Flora?s the best imaginary friend that I have, I mean, she?s far more nicer than you are, that?s for sure?
Flora smiled at Berry at that point, where Berry spoke again, with a quick glare back at Flora ?Her!? But she?s a flower!? I?m the cutest one there is! It?s not fair! It?s just not fair! I?m suppose to be loved and adored, not by some stupid flower friend!? she yelled back.
?Berry, calm down, otherwise, I wont even consider you my friend at all? Jenifer grinned back.
At that point, Berry?s expression?s changed again ?But, but, but??
Jenifer turned to Flora ?Come on, it looks like Berry doesn?t want to be around us anymore? she then shook Frankie?s hand and headed off with Flora, leaving Berry alone, completely speechless before she begun to just grumble to herself ?Stupid Flora and her stupid flower look? were some of the words that were heard as she too begun to walk off, heading right for the door.
She was no concentrated on getting rid of someone other than Mac?Flora.
