An Animals Dream

Dealing With It

Vivienne POV:

"Oh my days," I spoke. "why would you pretend to be a robber."

"Cry about it little girl." Countered Kiki with an attitude. Kiki was not a fan of being nice. Well, maybe on display or to complete strangers, but once you have my perspective, that fatass sleeps, eats and scratches you all day.

Then I got a text message. It was from Sofie.

Well, it was from Sofie in a group chat containing our friendgroup. Azrael, me, Sofie, and Valentina. There's also El, but she doesn't go to our school or live in out area, so we barely have anything to talk about. It's fine though since she usually makes up for it by having sleepovers and calling us.

Anyway, off topic. Sofie texted about meeting up at her place, to which I accepted. So did everyone else on their own time.

..And when I say 'on their own time', I mean 30-1h later. Well, in Valentina and my case, 5-10 min. Azrael's the one who took like an hour.

Eventually we all got to Sofie's house. We all headed to the couch to talk, while Azrael headed to the fridge.

Took us about 5 minutes to get everyone sitting on the couch.

"So our pets turned into people" Sofie started, not really knowing what to say herself. I could tell.

Azrael crunched and crunched the bag of doritos, as Sofie talked. She was visibly annoyed, but Valentina continued the conversation.

"You have a little kid sleeping in your bed right now? I have a little kid probably eating my entire kitchen right now." Valentina said with sarcasm.

"Safe to assume they're our old hamsters?" Sofie asked.

"Probably." Valentina responded.

"Yo where the fuck has El been when this shit happened" Azrael raised a new question. Huh. I hadn't thought about it like that. I guess Gaston could've turned into a human boy. Gaston was El's dog.

Azrael stood up, as they went to go get another bag of doritos.

Sofie sighed.

Narrator POV:

What was there to do at this point? She didn't even know where her parents were. Or where anyone else's parents were to be honest.. was there a chance that it had something to do with their pets? Whatever the case, she decided to leave it for the morning, as it had been a stressful day.

..One good thing about her parents being nowhere to be found, she could have her friends sleep over. Though, they had to check on their own pets. Or rather humans. No, that sounds weird.

What would you even call them?

Azrael snapped his fingers in Sofie's face, getting the girl's attention. He had a blank look on his face.

"What planet are you on." He was quite full of tone.

"The one up your mom's ass." Sofie Countered to Azrael. They both laughed 2 seconds later.

She should probably bring up her thoughts now.

Sofie's laugh faded into a lost in thought frown. Then she voiced her question.

"What should we call them?" This confused the others, judging from the looks they gave her. So, she elaborated. "Our pets? They aren't exactly animals, so I don't know how well 'pets' would work. And humans just sound like a weird title for them" That brought up a good question for the group.

But after a while of thinking and suggesting, the four decided they would come up with something in the morning. They were tired, and worried about their.. uh.. newly humanized pets ripping up their houses.

So, three of them went home, as Sofie stayed in her own. She went upstairs to check on the two that were both probably napping in her room.

Well, she was wrong.

Momo was underneath the bed of her parents, napping. So, she was half right. But she was fully correct about Marty. He was asleep in her bed.

She didn't have the heart to wake him up. So she gently picked him up and placed her on a bed of unused pillows that she had behind her bed.

Then she took the biggest nap of her life.

And as the others crawled into their beds, the entirety of the group was fast asleep, no longer than after midnight.
