Chapter 5
Narrator pov
Meanwhile, in the pub, Ross was brooding in a chair downing beer after beer. He couldn't believe that Tony wouldn't marry him.
The sheriff of the town sat across from him "what's got you down?" He asked. "He rejected me" was all Ross mumbled taking a drink of his beer.
The sheriff let out a little "ahh" everyone in the town knew of Ross' fixation on Tony. "Want more beer?" The sheriff asked "what for nothing helps I'm disgraced" Ross proclaimed and this made everyone in the pub stop what they were doing.
"Who you? Never, Ross, you've got to pull your self together" Ross' colleague, Dave, said shaking ross' arm. "Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Ross looking so down in the dumps," Dave said while people in the pub nodded in agreement.
"Ev'ry guy here's love to be you, Ross, Even when taking your lumps," the barman said when he finished serving a table next to Ross. "There's no man in town as admired as you," said one of the locals "You're ev'ryone's favourite guy" Dave added on.
"Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you" Dave gestured to everyone in the pub then to Ross "And it's not very hard to see why" Dave continued.
"No one's slick as Ross"
"No one's quick as Ross"
"No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Ross'"
"For there's no man in town half as manly"
"Perfect, a pure paragon!" people in the pub picked in to try and cheer Ross up.
"You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on," Dave said while looking at Ross. Then the whole pub began joining in "No one's been like Ross" "A king pin like Ross".
During this little exchange between the pub and Ross, people complimented him about everything he as done. As well as what he can do and his physical attributes were mentioned.
Ross also told how as a lad he at four dozen eggs every morning to get large and now he has upped it to five dozen eggs.
By now everyone in the pub has said something to help boost Ross' mood. They were just finishing up.
"Say it again," said the barman "who's a man among men? And then say it once more Who's the hero next door" said Dave.
"Who's a super success? Don't you know? Can't you guess? Ask his fans and his five hangers-on" everyone chanted together in unison.
"There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down," said the sheriff patting Ross on the back. " And his name T.H.D.D...E...T.H.D.D.E...OH," Dave tried to spell out but stopped so everyone yelled all together "ROSS".
By the end of the cheer up, Ross was back in his happy mood. He and Dave were outside and was heading tony but Dave didn't know that yet.
When Dave did realise he couldn't say anything because they heard Clint ask
"Talking about Tony do you know where he is?". To which Jarvis replied, "a beast has him a big huge monster one we need to save him".
Before Ross and Dave could hear anymore they walked way. Dave looked at Ross to see that it looked like he was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Dave to which Ross replied "You know how Anthony will do anything to help his father" Dave nodded. Ross then leant down to whisper a plan he had formed into Dave's ear.
"You think he would marry you if that happened?" Dave asked "Positive" Ross responded.
Tonys pov
I don't know how long it has been since the beast said that I will join him for dinner.
Right now I was on the bed which as quite soft. I was looking out of the window when I heard a knock at the door.
I wondered who it could be "Who is it," I ask if it's the beast he is not coming in. "My name Mrs May Parker may I come in?" May asked sweetly I was about to say no but stopped my self.
You shouldn't be rude to someone you don't know is what father has told me. "Um yes you may," I say instead I hear the door open so I turn around to see a teapot in the doorway.
"I just-" the teapot was saying something but I was a little bit distracted. Because a teapot was talking 'I must be going mad I'm already hallucinating a talking teapot Great' I thought.
"You are not going mad my dear since I can actually talk and like I said my name is Mrs May Parker," said the tea-Mrs Parker. "What is your name?" Asked Mrs Parker "My name is Anthony but everyone calls me Tony," I tell her.
"What did you say before I didn't hear what you said," I asked sheepishly Mrs Parker chuckled "I was saying that you were very brave for what you did for your father". "Oh thanks for the compliment but anyone would do it," I say while I went to sit on the floor.
When I was on the floor I shivered a bit I didn't realise how cold it was in here. Mrs Parker must have noticed since she asked me "Would you like some tea to warm you up the castle is quite cold?".
"Yes please," I say "Peter come here please," Mrs Parker said to which a teacup came and waited next to her. "This is my nephew Peter" Mrs Parker introduce "and Peter this is Tony" Mrs Parker told Peter.
"Hello," Peter said he sounded quite young "Hi," I say back. Mrs Parker pored me some tea which tasted wonderful.
Me, Mrs Palker and Peter talked a bit to pass the time. "Tony do you want to see a trick?" Peter asked and I nodded the trick was that he somehow made the tea that was left inside him bubble.
"Peter what have I told you about that" Mrs Parker scolded "Sorry Aunt May," Peter said. Peter and I were talking about science stuff that interested both of us. When I hear a small knock on the opened door.
I turn to see a clock walking in the clock stopped next to Mrs Parker. "Who's that?" I ask Mrs Parker "My name is Steve," the walking clock said "and what might your name be" Steve added on at the end.
"My name is Tony" while this little introduction was going on out of the corner of my eye I saw Peter and Mrs Parker exist the room.
"Well you must get going," Steve said "Going to where?" I ask. I hear Steve sigh "You must get going to the dining hall to have dinner with the master," Steve said.
Oh yeah, the dinner I forgot for a second. "I'm not going to that dinner," I say Steve looked shocked "But you must" he blurted.
"I'm not going and that is final" I asserted him Steve sighed once more "Please reconsider" he tried. "I'm sorry but I'm not coming," I said firmly all Steve did was nod and left.
As he was closing the door I heard his whisper out "The master not going to like this". With the door being closed I turn my head to the window to see that it was snowing.
I look around to see if there was something I could do. I remembered that there was a clock in here that wasn't working. I could fix it and it will be easy since I always do it at home when the clock stops working.
With that in mind, I headed to the clock picked it up and brought it back to the bed. I just found what had caused the clock to stop when I heard the beast shout "WHAT!".
I heard some loud footsteps headed this way. 'I think someone didn't like that I defied his orders' I thought I smile to myself this should be interesting.
