Egon is mulling over recent events.
Why do I keep getting hurt? I avoid activities that normally cause physical harm, like sports. I don't get it. I'm used to Luke's abuse. Getting pummeled by a green fuzzball is something new. I should wear padding 24/7. And a helmet.
While in the shower, the hot water hitting his sore shoulder was soothing. His stomach bruise is nasty color even though the pain from that has faded almost completely.
He pops couple Tylenol. Shoves a few books, paper and pencils in his backpack.
Vin didn't steal anything yesterday. He really proved himself, he does have self control. I'm not feeling as on edge or anxious about bringing him along today. It's gonna be alright.
In the kitchen, Egon mades both of them waffles doused in syrup. His Dad really stocked up on food and supplies.
He chuckles at Vin who is thoroughly licking himself.
"Don't mock me. I'm trying to not waste any bit of that delicious delicacy"
Lapping his tongue across his palm.
"So yummy"
He switches to sucking on his fingers.
" I admit, I was tempted to do the same. It's been a long time since I've had waffles n' syrup. I'm craving seconds but time is running thin."
He collects the plates and utensils, places them in the sink to wash after school.
"Ok, we must get going. In the bag you go."
Time skip to end of school day
This time, Egon chains and locks his bike at the back of the school. The plan is to avoid the crowd and certain people.
Vin manages stay quiet and still throughout the day, quite remarkable. Egon is impressed. He makes a mental note to thank Vin later on.
It's the end of school day. Egon is beside his bike, turning the combination to the lock. An obnoxious grating voice causes him to tense
Shit! That's Luke. And I've fucked up the combination.
"Hey! Shithead!"
Fuck. How does he always find me? Why does he always have to shout and announce his presence? Oh that's right. He's an arrogant prick.
"Hey! Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
Egon stands up and faces Luke, making sure to keep his head lowered to not make any eye contact.
Luke's cronies aren't with him, he's alone. Somehow, even alone, his presence remains formidable and intimidating.
A flurry of movement beside Egon takes his averted gaze away from Luke.
Vin drops down from his backpack, landing on all fours. He has foam coating his mouth and entire snout. An impressive snarl and growl emanates from the weasel as he charges at Luke.
Luke shrieks in high pitch fashion as he quickly backs away.
"Get your rabid ferret away from me!!"
Screeching in fear while he runs off.
Once Luke is out of range, they both scan the area. The commotion hasn't drawn anyone to their location.
Vin finds himself blown over by extreme adrenaline.
"That was amazing!! Wow, what a rush! Exhilarating!"
He doubles over into a ball, laughing and celebrating.
Egon can't help but be astonished.
Vin was bold. He grew balls. He made Luke scream like a little girl.
"Vin! Wow! That was fucking incredible! How? How did you make yourself foam like that?"
Wiping off some of the foam with his arm, Vin smiles with pride.
"It's the foam from a mug of Ale."
"mug of ale? Beer? How did you? Oh, your bag."
Egon investigates his backpack and finds a half empty mug, spilt ale, along with a hole on the bottom of his bag.
"You chewed a hole in my bag!"
"I didn't chew, I tore. There's a difference."
scampering up to Egon's shoulder, still feeling the exhilaration.
"Ugh, and my bag smells like a brewery. Are.. are you drunk?"
"I might be a lil buzzed. I drank a few of those mugs during the boredom you call school. I don't think I'm cut out for it. I like being with you though. So, Ale helps me get through."
Egon's mind churns. Some problematic scenarios entering his head.
"Glad the smell didn't escape my bag. You also stayed exceptionally still while consuming alcohol.
I am very, truly thankful for what you did. But...Something is worrying me. What if Luke tells people I have a rabid ferret. You'll get taken away, the only way to test for rabies is to decapitate and test the brain, they'll kill you. Shit. This could be bad."
"Whoa whoah."
Vin makes the calm down motion with his hands.
"Only Luke saw me. If anyone questions, just deny deny deny. It's simple. Make Luke think he's losing his mind, seeing rabid ferrets. Others will agree that he's crazy. It does sound crazy. What's worse than a ferret? A rabid one.
He Rubs his hands together diabolically "
Now that I've had a taste, I have so many things I wanna do to mess with Luke ."
For the very first time, Vin Weasel appears sinister.
Egon continues to fret. He nervously runs his hands through his hair.
"But my Dad has seen you, what if someone questions him?"
"Will he lie for you?"
"I dunno. Maybe."
" If all else fails, I can make myself disappear."
"You can!?"
"Into my bag I can. It leaves me woozy and queasy, so I'll only resort to it in an emergency."
Egon ponders this new information.
"How do you get out when time stops for you in there?"
"doesn't stop for me. I think it's because I'm the owner. I am master of the bag. Either that it loves me as much as I love it. You must go inside it with me sometime, the place is NEAT!"
The word Neat, was yelled a little too loudly by Egon's ear.
"Simmer down. You can tell me about it later. Now it's time to stop talking and be a ferret while I ride us home."
"Not only is it like stabbing me repeatedly with a knife every time you make me act like a loathsome ferret, you insist on twisting that knife while it's inside me."
"So dramatic. Now hush."
