Smiling Critters: Ancestra Au - Cancelled

"Solar System"

The fight between the two friends did not end in a fight, the matter had died down after Catnap put that scythe on Kickin's neck, the silence remained and the two left the room after staring at each other for a while.

The day went on normally and Kickin kept an eye on Dogday while Catnap did his work, the duo who stayed at home played various games, such as drawings, origami and surprise... even cleaning was fun. Due to tiredness, the puppy ended up sleeping early and leaving those two alone to spend the end of the night.

Both were now in the living room, sitting on the sofa, the feline was watching television at a volume that was very audible to him, and without being too loud, the chicken next to him had a cell phone in his hands, playing a game.

— Have you ever thought about reducing this shine? — the light in the room was off, apart from the television, the brightness on Kickin's cell phone was high.

— Oh... sorry, the place got dark little by little and I got used to the brightness of the cell phone — the brightness of the device decreased — speaking of brightness... have you ever thought about buying a video game console?

— Uhhh… no, I have a computer, maybe I can buy one for the boy.

— Hehe, you’re a PC gamer… hahaha!

— Meh... whatever, speaking of boys, I think I'm going to sleep, thanks bro, are you going to sleep here? — stood up and stretched.

— Yes, I'll stay here, just give me a tablecloth — said the chicken in a seductive tone at the end.

— No, you won't be eaten, not yet, so you'll have a sheet.

Kickin laughed and just waited, the television was turned off and a sheet was thrown in his face, with Catnap telling him where the sheet is. The chicken continued to use his cell phone until late at night playing some games.

At some point during the night, Dogday woke up, his throat was dry and he had a strong urge to pee, getting up quickly and going to the bathroom without making any noise so as not to wake his father on the floor, he relieved himself.

Opening the bedroom door, he sees Kickin on the sofa, sitting and covered by the sheet, he had his cell phone in his hand, his eyes showed sleepiness but he was focused on the device.

— Kickin? — said Dogday sleepily — awake? — he closed the door while rubbing his eyes.

— Ah... hi kid, yes... still awake... — said Kickin, not taking his eyes off his cell phone.

— What are you doing there that keeps you from sleeping? — he went to the refrigerator, opening it and taking a bottle, which was his, opening it and drinking water.

— Ah... it's just a game, but, well, thanks for getting me out of it... I really need to sleep — he yawned — I have to take care of you tomorrow too while Catnap works... — he turned off the device, put it aside and lay down to sleep.

— Ah, cool — he said happily — but what time is it?

— Four in the morning, almost five — he said through a yawn.

— Hmm... my sleep cycle — he seemed to think — is almost five, I slept around ten, a seven hour cycle in total, I don't think I'll be able to sleep again.

— Do you regulate your sleep? So jealous…

— Yes, if I don't do this I won't be able to successfully use my energy, and there's no need to feel jealous, I can teach you — he said excitedly, his tail wagging as he put away the bottle of water and then went in front of the sofa.
