3 - missing ears

Luke knocked on the Clifford's door across the street. He dressed in his usual attire, ripped black skinny jeans and a band tank. He ran a hand through his quiffed hair as he waited for some one to answer the door.

"Oh Luke honey, welcome!", Karen smiled, gesturing for Luke to come in. "I'll have to warn you, Michael's a bit of a... Mess, this morning.", she chuckled nervously.

"What's wrong?", Luke asked, furrowing his brow in concern.

"Well.. Um, see for your self?"

Before he knew it they were up the stairs, standing in front of Michael's door. Luke could hear his kitten sobbing loudly inside.

"Goodluck!", Karen smiled, before walking downstairs. Luke thought he smelled cookies.

He opened the door and entered the boys room, taking in the sight. The room was a mess turned over, and Mikey was curled up on his bed, crying.

"Hey, hey, Mikey, what's wrong?", Luke frowned, rushing over to comfort Michael.

"C-can't f-find m-my e-ears!", his bottom lip shook violently and tears flowed heavily from his bright emerald eyes.

"Aw kitty, I'm sure they're around here somewhere?", Luke suggested, stoking Mikey's fluffy hair trying to comfort him.

"L-looked everyw-where," he sobbed some more, breaking Luke's heart to see the pink haired boy like this.

"Well come on, I'll help you look some more, and then we'll clean up this mess and watch some movies or something okay?", Luke asked, and Mikey sat up sniffling. "O-kay."

They began to pick up Mikey's room as his mother entered the room with Michael's laundry and a tray of cookies and lemonade.

"Any luck boys?", Karen asked the two boys.

"N-no.", Mikey began to sob again, collapsing in Luke's arms. Luke stroked his back comfortingly, as Karen frowned and left the room.

"It'll be okay kitten, we'll find them! Why don't you take a break and eat some cookies and I'll keep looking.", Luke said, guiding Mikey over to his bed where the tray of warm cookies sat waiting. Michael muttered an okay, and began to eat a cookie. Just as Luke turned around, he saw them, sticking out of Michael's basket of clothes.

"Look Mikey, I found them!!", Luke shouted happily, bending down to retrieve the grey kitten ears.

"Wher- YAY!! LUKEY!! Put them on me! Pweeeaaaasssee!", Mikey shouted excitedly.

Luke chuckled as he scooped up the ears and placed them on Mikey's fluffy pink hair.

"Thank you Lukey thank you thank you thank you!!", Michael squealed as he hugged Luke tightly. Luke smiled and hugged him back, muttering a 'you're welcome'.

"What do you want to watch Mikey?", Luke asked, flipping through Michael's plentiful collection of DVD's.

"Shrek!", he giggled, scrunching his nose.

"You like Shrek?", Luke laughed.

"Love it.", Michael gasped in awe.

"Shrek it is."

Later that day, tons of cookies, 2 of 4 Shrek movies, and a promise to finish the rest later, Luke was exhausted. He bid Mikey and Karen and Daryl goodbye, and went home hopping immediately into bed.

Luke stared up at the ceiling, thinking about his day. All of a sudden, he couldn't help but smile. Despite Michael's kiddish-kitten ways, Luke felt some kind of connection between the two of them, and Luke couldn't stop thinking about it. Not to mention, Michael was, extremely hot, and Luke found him adorable.

Luke sighed, and fell asleep thinking about a certain pink-haired kitten.
