Smiling Critters: Ancestra Au (Cancelled)

Two, four... six?

The two girls stayed in that kiss for a while, even Dogday took some photos to have as a souvenir, well, that is in case Crafty has to go back to the orphanage.

— Crafty, what are you doing here? — Hoppy said after separating from the kiss, a line of saliva even remained there — you should be at the orphanage!

— I know, but I didn't want to stay there, I wanted and want to stay with you, you make me happier, more joyful... — said the unicorn with tears in her eyes and hugging the rabbit.

— Ah... calm down, calm down, but running away won't help, the caregivers will miss you, soon there will be posters of you spread around the orphanage block — he began to pet her.

Crafty just moaned in sadness and tantrum;

— Hehe, I think you can talk to Kickin, maybe he can adopt you too — commented Catnap.

— Oh, this rabbit was adopted by him? How interesting, I never saw him having good taste… — Simon smiled as he scratched his shoulder.

— Hmm? And who are you? — Hoppy asked the dragon.

— My name is Simon, I was the one who brought her here, a friend of mine found her and took her to me, so I brought her here just now — he replied with a smile on his face.

Hoppy stands up;

— What can I do to thank you? After this, I even consider you a friend… — she looked at Simon with a confident gaze.

— Hehe, look, I don't know, haha, but tell me, what do you like the most, like, like a lot? — he asked with a somewhat provocative look.

— I don't know for sure… but… hehe — he had the same expression as Simon — what do you think about fighting?

— Haha! Well, I'm a little rusty, but since I know you'll insist on rewarding me, it doesn't hurt to fight a little after all these years.

— After years? — said the confused rabbit.

— Heh, he was an explorer before he was what he is today, so he knows how to fight, and very well… — said Catnap.

— Wow! So you train me? — Hoppy just got excited and the sparkle in her eyes was noticeable.

— Sure, how about tomorrow? — he held out his hand.
Hoppy sealed the deal;

— Okay, tomorrow! After all, I'm going to be stuck to my horse for a while! — I went back to Crafty and hugged her.

It was over, Kickin arrived by car very close to lunch time and even joked about the fact that his power: “would be faster than a car”, even though the vehicle is more “stylish”. Just like Catnap, the chicken was surprised by Simon’s presence, the trio already knew each other and this was a good reunion.

Hoppy was stuck to Crafty almost one hundred percent of the time, Dogday even said that: “separating them would make a velcro sound” they were so stuck together. The rabbit also stood by Simon's side and asked him several questions about what it was like to be an explorer, and what it took to be one, and what their training was like.

Dogday, unlike Hoppy, wrote everything down;
It was late afternoon, and at that time Simon had to leave, his children should have finished school by now, he said goodbye to his old friends, and gave a warm farewell to the children there. He then flew away.

— Haaa… well, I guess, I can do that — Kickin commented.

— Hmm? Do what? — Catnap asked, a little confused.

— Well, since she likes this girl so much, it's a good idea to adopt her, that way, she'll be happier... — Kickin gets up from the couch and stretches a little — Hoppy? I'm going home, you can spend the night here, it'll be good.

— Hum? Okay! Thanks dad! — she was sitting on the floor, Hoppy gets up and hugs Kickin tightly, who gives her a light caress — oh, and bye! See you tomorrow! — smiling.

— See you tomorrow girl, and you too Crafty, see you tomorrow — he said before heading to the door.

Of course, he went back and gave Catnap a good kiss on the mouth, hugged both girls and gave Dogday a special high five, after that, he left.

Outside, he gets into his car and leaves with it, but not to go back home — Dogday noticed that — but rather, heading to the other side, where the orphanage was. Slowly he positions himself at the gate and turns on the intercom, and is told that the orphanage has closed its doors and that in order to adopt, it would have to be done online.

After he convinces the woman on the other end of the line, he finally manages to get in, it takes a while but soon a caregiver appears;

— Uh… good evening sir, right Kickin? — asked the woman, she was in her pajamas.

— Exactly, I was the one who adopted Hoppy, the girl crazy about fighting — he replied with a tired look, but with a smile.

— Yes, I remember you, sir, but come on, follow me, you said that Crafty ran away from the orphanage? What do you mean, sir? — she followed a path, Kickin soon followed her.

— Here it is, it's Catnap's house, the one who adopted Dogday, and Crafty was there... very excited and agitated — he showed a photo on his cell phone of the trio playing on a rug.

— Hmm… yeah, we noticed her absence, and since she ran away, we can tell who released Picky too — he continued on his way to the bedroom corridors.

— Picky? Who would that be?

— Picky Piggy, is a childhood friend of Hoppy, but there was a time when we had to lock her in the basement of the orphanage, it was the best option instead of letting the army take her…

— Kind of complicated… — Kickin said, a little confused, after all, locking up a child isn’t exactly a common thing.

Some time later, the woman opens a door, it was Crafty's room and it was very tidy, the woman said she would separate their things, after all, he didn't bring the girl, which would imply that Kickin would adopt her.

So said, so done, he really adopted Crafty and took the receipt, he then took Crafty's already packed things and went out, accompanied by the caregiver who was more grateful than saying anything else.

— Haa… well, I guess, it’s another one that leaves here, take good care of it — said the woman.

— Hehe, yes yes, of course, I will take care of her just like I take care of Hoppy, but unlike the rabbit, this one likes to paint… — he closed the trunk — another one in my life, strangely I feel changed.

— Sometimes some families adopt a large number of children, perhaps this feeling is actually good.

— Yes, it is, well, thanks for everything, I'm leaving.
