Author's note: this is dedicated to Permanent Rose (the author not the character), who asked me to write another Casson family story, it's just a one-shot, Rose is sixteen in this. Please review
Bold is Sarah.
Normal is Rose
Italics is Saffy
Underlined is Indigo
Ten reasons why I Permanent Rose Casson should not snog Tom Levin
Commentary written by Saffron and Sarah
Tom is far too old for me.
So? I am far too old for Indigo but that didn't stop me
Yeah, and besides that means his more mature.
Tom is Indigo's best friend, if I snog Tom, Indigo might not talk to me…forever.
And Indigo was Saffy's little brother and she still talks to me…though she didn't for two weeks
My point exactly
But that was because you were using my bed for a make out session; don't let Indy get in the way Rose.
I have known Tom since I was eight, which means he's part of my childhood, which means I'd be snogging someone like…like mr snuggles
Mr snuggles?
Rose's stuffed pig that she had when she was three…she lost it before her fourth birthday and cried about it for two years straight.
Tom is not a stuffed pig…though he is a man…that might actually be the same.
Not helping
Tom is a musician, I am an artist, we're totally different
Yes and my real name is Harry Potter
You know sarcasm doesn't become you on paper
I couldn't think of a comeback
That's a first…
I don't really fancy Tom enough to snog him
So then why are we writing this list?
For the fun of it?
Try again…
despite what Caddy darling, Mum, Michael, David, Sarah's parents, the mailman, my form tutor, my art teacher and you two say I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH TOM LEVIN!!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight and even your father knows that. He just doesn't want to admit it.
And I'm the tooth fairy, Easter bunny and Santa Claus put together
tom does not fancy me
So not true, I believe even your darling father caught on to that one
He did…and he gave Tom the talk during Rose's fifteenth party.
The whole long distance thing.
Yeah, about that…Tom is moving to London…
Still too far
During workdays he comes back to live with his grandmother in the evenings and weekends
So you can't use that as a reason
So try again
our family is cursed when it comes to relationships
Since when?
My Mum and Dad, Aunt Linda and Dad, Caddy and Michael, Caddy and Alex, Caddy and every boyfriend she ever had, you and every boyfriend you ever had.
And me and Indigo?
Please you two are so perfect that we're waiting for you to crash and burn
Nice to know how you feel.
Anyway if you remember correctly Rose you were the reason why Caddy and Alex didn't work out.
Please don't remind me
Err…um…err…
See there is no tenth reason; in fact there is no real reason. Just snog him, please? I have ten pounds riding on you
Go on Rosie-Pose snog him.
What if he doesn't like it?
He will if he doesn't then he's not the one is he?
Beside we've seen this coming years ago.
Great, just what I need
Oh look here's Tom now…go on Rose.
Screw it, I'm going to snog him.
Whoa…that is one hell of a snog
Makes you wish that will happen to us
What makes you wish something will happen to you?
That!
Tom and my sister?
Yes
Finally! Hmm…
Great now I have to watch my younger siblings snog…
