Joeys POV
I stumble into our living room where everyone was sitting. "Guys," I announced. They all turned to me as I spoke. "I believe there is something we are all missing in this family." I stated.
"No one cares." Mick said, turning back to the TV. "Just hear him out, Mick." Shawn ordered. Mick rolled his eyes and turned back to me.
"We need a pet. A family pet. An emotional attachment. You know?" I said. "I want a pet!" Exclaimed Sid. "I don't, the fuck?" Mick said. "I think a pet would be great for our mental health!" Paul argued. "Do we really need a pet?" Shawn asked. Sid, Paul, Chris, and I all nodded.
Corey sighed. "Whatever makes you happy, dear." He mumbled. I smiled and softly bounced. "Well let's go!!" I exclaimed, running towards the door.
Some groaned, some hopped up and followed, some just didn't give a shit. "What should we get?" Chris asked as he got up besides me. "I don't know, what do you think?" He thought for a moment. "Well I don't wanna get something normal, I don't know why, but I want something unique." He replied.
"Yea." I paused. "What if we got a ferret!?" I exclaimed. His jaw dropped. "Oh my fucking god yes!" He turned around without another word and ran towards Shawn and Corey. I could overhear him talking about getting that ferret.
I don't really think they cared because they just shrugged. Chris walked back over to me as we got into the car. "They don't care, so I think we're gonna get one." He stated. I nodded. "I love those things." "Same, pretty sure Sid does too." He replied.
Everyone got in the car and we headed to the closest pet store. By that time, I was bouncing up and down out of excitement. But before we got out of the car, Shawn announced something.
"We will not get more than two if they're small. If they're not, we are only getting one. Everyone understand?" A chorus of yeahs replied.
We all got out of the car and I ran up besides Corey. "What pet do you want?" I asked. He shrugs. "None." He replied. I gave him a look, rolling my eyes after. "Well I want a ferret!" I proudly stated.
"Good for you." I pushed him, making him lightly laugh. "I'm just playin' baby, you know that." He replied, smiling. I shook my head as we got inside. Shawn came up besides me and started asking and explaining shit.
"Y'know the rules, what do you want?" He asked. "A ferret." I replied. "Oh, that's different. I was expecting another cat or somethin'." He said. I shrugged. "I really like ferrets." I stated.
"Well good for you. I gotta go make sure these other dumbasses don't kill something." Shawn replied, walking away. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Corey's hand, dragging him through the store.
We finally reached where the ferrets were kept and were also greeted with Chris and Sid looking at them. "Joey come here and see this one! It's a blonde!" I ran over and looked inside. It was a blonde!
"Aw it looks like Corey!" Corey looked at me weird, but before he could protest, Paul came up and started talking.
"I didn't know they sold ferrets!" Paul exclaimed as he came up to the glass. Corey groaned and crossed his arms, looking the other way. "We want the blondey!" Sid stated. "Aw yea! He's cute!" Paul agreed.
"That's 'cus all blondes are cute obviously." Corey said. "Shut up Corey." Chris ordered. "Anyways, they're not that expensive so I say we get em!" Chris added. Corey sighed and hugged me.
"Corey not right now I'm admiring the ferrets." I ordered. "Really." I laughed. "Mhm." "Can y'all stop flirting and go get Shawn?" Chris asked.
Corey groaned and left to go get Shawn. I bounced up and down out of excitement. "You think anyone has a different idea?" Paul asked. "I don't know and I don't care. I need this fucking ferret."
*time skip till after they pay for it and blah blah blah*
We got home and let the ferret run around the living room. "What should we name him?" Mick asked. "Corey 'cus he's blonde." I said. "Joey I swear to god if you mention me dying my hair blonde again I'm going to strangle you." Corey stated.
I rolled my eyes and pet the ferret. "I say Taylor Swift." Sid said. We all stared at him in confusion. "But hear me out.." He started. "We're all hearing you out, trust me." Jim replied.
"I say Taylor Swift 'cus one, he's blonde, like Taylor over there." He said pointing to Corey. "Sid I swear-." "And swift 'cus he has the has the zoomies." Sid said as the ferret came running up to him.
"How about we shorten it to Taylor." Paul suggested. "No why would we-." Corey got cut off by Jim. "I like it." He said. "But it's-." "Alright, then his name is now Taylor!" I exclaimed.
Corey groaned and pulled his beanie over his face. "We gotta get him a spike collar!" I said. "No don't make him emo! We already got you!" Jim stated.
"But if we get him a spike collar it'd be like me and Corey's little kid!" I fought. "I didn't even agree to the name!" Corey said. "Well he has YOUR last name so that's final!" I stated. Corey sighed. "Fine, whatever. We'll get him a spike collar."
This has been in my drafts for so long- sorry if it was rushed 😭💀
