A full month has passed ever since the Romeo and Juliet play. It had taken some time, but CatNap and DogDay have started going out and hanging out with the other Smiling Critters again. Although they are still on their way to recovering. The two opposites may have started going out again, but they've been chatting with other critters.
Well, CatNap and DogDay would talk to the other critters again; but not to each other. Whenever they are face to face with each other, they would blush like crazy and look away. In a sense, everything is almost back to normal with the Smiling Critters.
Or so it was thought.
It was another sunny day out. The showers have ceased and now flowers are blooming in fields. Once again though, today isn't a hangout day for the Smiling Critters. They already had another sleepover at DogDay's house last weekend and now everyone is either at work, at college, had booked a day off today or don't have any shifts today and don't have to book a day off.
CatNap doesn't have a shift today, so he has a day off to read, sleep or watch the Amazing Digital Circus again. He decided to sleep today instead. He felt like a change from watching the Amazing Digital Circus would do nicely. No one is coming over because of work, so this is the perfect time for him to sleep the day away.
CatNap lifted up his bedsheets and sat on the bed; lifting his legs on the bed as well. Before he could lie down and tuck himself under the covers, the doorbell rang. The purple cat groaned in irritation and got out of bed. So much for his plan to sleep all day. He walked towards his elevator and pressed the call button to go down.
After the elevator ride, CatNap opened the door. His annoyance turned to surprise to see Hoppy with another critter with her. The other critter is a yellow elephant, and they're much smaller. They even have a tuff of blue hair for bangs. They're also holding what seems to be a plushie of Bubba with their trunk.
"CatNap, I need your help right now!" Hoppy cried in distress. "It's an emergency! I want you to do me a favour right now!"
"Right now?" CatNap asked.
Hoppy nodded quickly. "Right now right now." she answered. "Bubba wants me to watch over his little cousin while he's doing some test for who knows what. He apparently didn't want any distractions, so Mr. Big Brain thought it was a good idea to call me to do some babysitting WHILE I have to get ready for work!"
"Wait wait, time out." CatNap interrupted. "Can you at least tell me how all this happened?"
"No time!" Hoppy snaps. She then bent down at the child's level. "Gabby, this is CatNap. He'll be watching over you while I'm at work. Be good to him alright?" The child didn't even get a chance to answer as Hoppy shoved them towards the purple cat. She then took off running. "I'll let Bubba know you're watching over her CatNap!" She called over as she disappeared down the street.
The two critters stood in silence for a moment, then without another word they reentered the house and took an elevator back to the main floor. CatNap was used to the quiet, but this isn't a good silence. He cleared his throat to catch the child's attention, and the child looked up.
"Hey there kid. I guess this transition was unexpected huh?" he asked lightly. "Anyway, your name is Gabby right?"
The child nodded with a smile. "Yeah. My name is Gabby Gabbaphant." the child introduced herself. Judging by their voice, CatNap could tell this was a little girl. "When I grow up I wanna be a pasture that weds couples."
CatNap chuckled at the child's cuteness. "If that's a dream job, then that'll be a good one." he complimented.
Gabby frowned. "What's a dream job?" she asked.
