Chapter 8
I never thought that on my first day on the job, I'd get my first payment. Working is nerve-racking, which probably explains why mom would, sometimes, come home frustrated. The days that she would come home irritated, we'd always try to cheer her up. I just hope that's what Rain Dancer will do for me. While holding my reward, I happened to notice that it was getting dark; I need to get home, now. I kept walking towards my house. There, I opened the door; I hid the payment behind my tail.
"Hey, Bronze. H'w was yer day?" Rain sprung up.
"Pretty tirin', so flipping tirin'."
"Ah'm glad t' see th't yer still alive."
"Que?"
"Oh, nothin'." I eyeballed her.
"So, Rain, h'w was yer day?"
"I' stunk. Didn' Ah tell ya th's earlier?"
"Ah don' know." I went over to her and sat down. She started to rest her head on my shoulder; it must've been a tiring day for her too. After a couple minutes, her eyes and brains closed down. I just sat there, and I watched her drool. It was pretty disgusting, but it was in a cute way. I was kissing her cheek when Thunder, all of the sudden, broke down the door. Rain sprung right up and greeted him.
"Hey Thunder, h'w was yer day?"
"..." Thundershock sat there, probably thinking about something. "I' was interestin'."
"Whaddya mean?"
"Um..."
"Yeah, Thunder, 'whaddya mean?'" I mimicked Rain's voice.
"Ah don' know."
"Sure ya don'"
"Ah really don't, 'Ah swears it!'" Oh Flambo, he was such a little gangster.
"Anyways, didn' ya say th't ya'd bring the Wonderbolts over?"
"Don' ya remember th't I'd bring 'em t'morrow?" If I do recall, he did say that he'd bring them tomorrow.
"Oh yeah, lo siento."
"Why 're ya apologizing?"
"B'cause Ah was wrong."
"M'kay, apology accepted."
"Thanks."
"Yer welcome." He went over and hugged her. "Hey Bronze, ya've been awfully quiet. What's up?"
"Nothin'."
"Really, 'cause ya haven' said anythin' in a bit."
"Ah'm good, really."
"Ya sure?"
"Yes, Ah'm sure."
"Ya sure ya sure?"
"Yesss."
"Are ya sure ya su-"
"Thunder!"
"Siento."
"Disculpas aceptadas."
"Awkward sibling hug?" Thunder asked.
"Awkward sibling hug." I replied.
Awkward sibling hug, pat pat The "awkward sibling hug" was a hug that Mabel and Dipper Pines would do, from the show "Gravity Falls". After we were done awkwardly hugging, we went to bed.
"But Ah don' wanna!"
"Yes ya do, Rain."
"Sleepin' 's s' borin'!"
"Actually, i's just ya th't thinks i's borin'. Thunder and Ah think i's fun, right Thundershock?"
"Eeyup." I don't know what happened here, but wasn't that Apple family scene?
"But Bronze!"
"Butts 're fer poopin', ya know th't!"
"Ya, plus ya have school t'morrow." Thunder added.
"Hmph. Ah'm gonna g' t' bed, but not b'cause ya told me; Ah'm goin' b'cause school's t'morrow!" She stormed off into her room.
"W' should hit th' hay too." I stated.
"Yup, night." he quickly answered; he ran to his room.
"Wait Thunder!"
"Yeah?" I almost forgot to tell them about my payment.
"Ah gotta show ya somethin'."
"What 's i'?"
"Come over 'ere 'nd find out!" He started to lazily trot over to my position.
"What 's i'?"
"I's a check from Sugarcube."
"Really? H'w much 's 'n i'?"
"Fifty bits."
"Th't's enough fer next month's r'nt!
"Ah know th't."
"Well, i's good th't w' already got money."
"Eeyup." He gladly smiled and walked away. I stowed the envelope on the counter; I went to bed, then. All night long, I was dreaming a strange dream. What I dreamed about was a bunch of cats in war with dogs. They were little animated cats that stood on two legs. My cat had: a doughnut belt that could squirt jelly, a huge doughnut robot suit that had a sombrero, and a friend that had got to lead the Cat Clan with me. My friend had: tiger stripes, a tuxedo, a fire-breathing mouth, and he was a ninja, kind of. My cat, E.D (Epic Doughnut), and my friend were going to our house.
"Haha Tux, that was fun!" he hollered.
"It was more than fun; it was amazing!" He hollered back. We walked down the town to our house on stilts, yes it was on stilts. I got in my robot suit, grabbed my friend, and flew up to the front door. We opened it, stepped in, and went to bed.
"Night, E.D." Tux said.
"Night, Tux." I said while I went to my side of the house. At my room, I opened the door and stepped in. Walking over to my doughnut bed, I curled up, all snug, in it. After a few seconds, I fell into slumber. It felt like five minutes later when Tux came into my room.
"E.D! The dogs broke the wall!" I jumped up, and I looked at the huge wall that separated us from the dogs; there was a really tiny hole in the middle of the wall. Looking down, I saw some dogs running through the town. I was going to call Psycat, when our house started to shake and shift. I looked down to see dogs sawing our house from the base! The house split in half; Tux started to fall down. I shot jelly from my belt, which caught onto Tux's paw. I reeled him up. "Thanks E.D!"
"No prob!" Now half of our house was gone, and the cats in town are being attacked. I grabbed my phone and called Psycat. Psycat had the ability to use telepathic messages, so if I use it, I could call every cat to run away.
"Hello, this is Psycat."
"Psycat! I need you to contact every cat's mind and tell them to go to the East Field!" In an instant, every cat's flickered; they started to run to the East Field. A random zip-line appeared at the side of our house, leading directly to the East Field. I got on the zip-line and rode down. Awaiting me, was our army of cats staring in the eyes of an army of dogs. I got to the front of the army.
"Why, look at this puny cat." said the leader of the dogs. He was twice my size and strength, but I'm twice his speed and agility.
"Bull Dog." I said angrily.
"Whaddya want, puny?"
"I want you to leave!"
"Well I don't wanna."
"So help me." I turned around to see my brother, Lame Bagel, walk to the dogs' side. He looked exactly like me, except that he had a vest.
"LB?"
"What?"
"Why are you over there!?"
"Because I work for the dogs, duh!"
"You little-" The next second, Bull Dog gave me an uppercut; I flew back behind the army. Landing hard on the ground, some of the cats ran to my aid. It must've took a while for the zip-line to come back to Tux, because he finally got here. He, however, landed on Bull Dogs neck; his legs wrapped around it. On Bull Dog, Tux started to repeatedly punch him on the cheeks. There was an all out battle right there, and then I wake up.
"Woah." That was the strangest dream that I ever had; I realized that it was morning. Walking out my door, I realized that Rain was up.
"Hey Bronze, how did ya sleep?"
"Good, you?"
"Good, thanks fer askin'!"
"Ya seem pretty happy, what's up?"
"Oh, Ah c'n't wait t' see th' supposed Wonderbolts!" Her tone was so sarcastic, it was kind of funny.
"Yeah, Ah c'n't wait to see 'em either."
"W'nt some breakfast?" Rain pondered.
"Wh'n did ya learn t' make breakfast?"
"Wh'n ya weren't lookin'." She was making toast; she was putting the butter on herself,
"Th'n yeah, Ah'll have some." She buttered my slices, and she delivered them to me. They weren't bad at all!
"Ya like 'em?"
"Yup!"
"Mmm, Ah smell toast!" yelled Thundershock.
"Ya w'nt some?"
"Sure!!" He seems extremely excited today.
"Why 're ya so happy?" I asked.
"B'cause th' Wonderbolts 're comin'!"
