Roman was rolling his way back home on his stakeboard. He tried to jump over the sidewalk, but failed miserably as always. He sighed and looked around, making sure nobody saw him. Luckily, only a cat was sitting in front of the door, staring at him ''You don't have to judge me with your cat eyes, I'm sure you can't do that trick either!''
''Meow!''
''Yeah, that's what I thought!'' Roman gave the cat a small pat on the head. He thought this cat was a stray, it looked all matted and had scars on his entire body and was always hanging out around the door of his apartment building. He had been thinking about taking it in, but he was allergic to cat so... But the look this little fluff ball was giving him everytime Roman was passing by... It was heart breaking. He unlocked the door and gave the cat one last look. Bad mistake, Roman let out a big pissed off scream ''Okay! You win, come in!'' and just like that, like the cat was waiting for this moment, it ran in after Roman with a thankful purr. Roman shook his head and closed the door behind him and unlocked his apartment door.
The cat jumped on the table and sat real straight, staring at Roman ''So.... You want tuna or something?''
''PPrrrr!''
''Or I have left over sushi from my lunch break''
''MEOW!''
''Well sushi it is, I guess!''
Roman grabbed the sushies and another left over from his yesterday's dinner. They both ate together and Roman managed to not let the cat in his bedroom, his allergies wouldn't agree with a fluff ball in his bed with him. They both spent the next few days together, Roman bringing some food and all the cat stuffs that cats need. But one morning, as Roman was getting ready to go to work, the cat ran between his legs and ran away. To say that Roman wasn't feeling sad and betrayed would be a lie. Roman gave him so much love and care and the cat only gave him fleas and broke a few things that he left too close to the edge of the shelves... And now it was gone...
The end.
If only it was that simple, Roman thought. If only... But noooo, that cat had to come back the next day with a small bag in it's teeth. Roman took it and the cat followed him in his apartment. Roman looked in the bag and he found... A rubik's cube? A weird looking one, but still a rubik's cube. He stared back at the cat ''Really? you ran away to get me a toy?''
''PPrrrmow!''
He sighed, why was he talking to a cat, exactly? He sat on his couch and turned the small squares around, but after a few minutes, he was already fed up of it. He tossed it beside him and the cat just kept pushing it back on his leg ''FINE! I will find a way to solve it!'' Roman made a call to Logan, one of his childhood friend ''Hey, nerd, I have something for you!''
''What is it this time?''
''You will like it this time, I swear.'' Roman pranked Logan once, only once, and now he was always so suspicious about everything. He explained that a cat brought him a weird looking rubik's cube and that the cat really wanted him to solve it, but he didn't know how. There was a long silence on the other side of the line and then ''So... A cat wants you tos olve.... a rubik's cube?''
