Smiling Critters: Ancestra Au - Cancelled

Real Reason... - Season 2

Catnap was at home, lying on the living room couch while playing with Dogday, playing throw it up. The little dog laughed a lot and his tail wagged really fast and hard, the cat threw the boy with his tail, the tail got tired and Dogday was put on the floor.

— Haha… you have a lot of energy, huh, boy, I can't keep up with you like this — he took a deep breath as he stroked his own tail.

— I think it's because I'm turning into the famous teenager... I just don't expect to turn into one of those emos, I don't know, they're too down... — said Dogday, sighing a little to calm his nerves.

— Hehe… I was an emo, I stopped being one after I started working… — he settled into the sofa.

— You were one? And what do emos do? — excited once more.

— Oh, some are just liars, but a good portion follow this lifestyle. Something like wearing black because the colorful world is over for them, listening to music like rock or rap that criticizes the world around them or their own life experience... usually most of them are depressed. They don't kill themselves, but they mutilate themselves.

— Wow… they really suffer… — said the little dog, a little downcast.

— Not really, I was emo because I was sad... no one besides Kickin and Simon were my friends, and they weren't always around, my family, besides being rich, didn't pay attention to me, always stuck on their so-called "jobs"... besides that, they treated me badly...

— Awn… but you were adopted, right? Another family? — he asked, feeling a little hopeful.

— Yes… my current “mother” also works, and she at least gave me attention and that… “love”, seriously, I stopped being totally emo because of her, and since I work for her, I'm always in touch — he smiled, reviewing the memories he had with Bobby, his adoptive mother since he was fourteen years old.

— Hooo! Can I meet her? Please? — he leaned against the sofa, giving her a pleading look.

Catnap sighed, lost his smile and thought about it for a while, if he presented himself, he could ask to leave and put Dogday in his place, or Bobby could put him to work in the faction… both options were bad…

He smiled, and said he would call her when he could.

Elsewhere, at the base, in her office, Bobby looked at the list of names of those she had hired during this entire period, it had been thirteen years since the faction was founded, and more than three hundred members…

She counted twelve banks, seven lumber mills, five mining companies and only three hospitals that she has control over, or rather, collects resources from. The hospitals are the only ones she can change the offer for, because if the government finds out about any irregularities, the place will be shut down immediately.

— Thirty-nine henchmen… twenty-four for the banks, two for each, and only one for each lumberyard, hospital and mining company… I'm going to lose eighty-seven percent of my cronies… from three hundred and a bit to just thirty-nine — Bobby thought as she saw each of the best choices she could make about her group.

The drivers were diverse, Catnap was part of each of these areas, but only the bank robbery was where he stabilized, but he still had a problem;

— What if he asks to leave? Lately I've been seeing him really down every time he comes here... at any moment he could ask to leave... — she thought looking at the photo she had in a picture frame there in the corner of her desk, it was her and the cat, smiling with joy — I had a better idea.

Bobby searches through the papers for her adopted son's name and finds Catnap's name. She crosses out the name and writes next to it: retired. The bear gets up from her chair and walks over to another painting, this one hanging on the wall.

It was a display board, and on it was a necklace, a heart, but broken in half from top to bottom... a heart broken in a symbolic way, that necklace belonged to Bobby before he underwent all those procedures to become a woman... the heart broke after a few hours after the surgery.

The phone rings, and the bear slowly goes to the table and answers it. It was Catnap, and he called to ask if she could come to a specific restaurant. The cat wanted to introduce her to someone. Bobby refuses but sets it up for the next day. The cat simply agrees.

— Introduce me to someone? Who could it be? A girlfriend? Or… boyfriend? Has the chicken already declared himself? It took too long.

Already at Catanp's house;

The cat tells the boy that tomorrow they will meet Bobby, Dogday's adoptive grandmother, that day she was busy and stuff, work business. But even so, they would go out, Dogday jumped for joy and ran to take a bath, Catnap joined the bath with the boy and they both got ready at the same time.

Kickin and her daughters were called to join, they accepted and Dogday was already blushing because he knew the girls were dressed. The cat scolded him.

The two families arranged to see each other at night, well, it was almost dark and the tracks were almost empty, they went with the new Murciélago, it was black, almost flat on the ground, the rim was not very big, and it also had a not very high spoiler.

The car was fast, and the one who took the wheel was Dogday, he controlled the steering wheel with great joy, the gear too, since it was a butterfly and didn't need a clutch.

Arriving at the meeting point, Kickin was already waiting outside the car, the girls were sitting on the sidewalk watching some videos on the internet. The Murciélago approached and took everyone's breath away, the car was expensive, but fast and simply beautiful.

— Girls! — Dogday jumped out of the car window and quickly approached his friends.

— Dogday! — they both said, loudly and excitedly, yes, even Crafty, and they both stood up.

Dogday left them impressed as he kissed them deeply on the cheek and hugged them tightly;

— Dogday! Don't kiss us... I heard that kissing can get you pregnant... — Hoppy said, pretending to be scared.

— Y-Yes… we don't want to have puppies now… — Crafty said, pretending to be scared, and hiding behind Hoppy.

— Hun? — confused, he knew it was a lie… but he joined in the joke — So… — he gave a mischievous look and hugged them both at the same time — I'm going to give you both lots of puppies! And I'm going to take care of them! — he started kissing the cheeks of the two girls who started laughing.

The little group fell to the floor while the puppy showered the girls with kisses, their parents just looked at this with a look of: “what is this here?” And then they burst out laughing.

After taking the boy away from the girls, they finally went to the meeting, it was in a simple restaurant, not very fancy, they ordered their food and chatted about different things, after the children ate, they decided to play some games... Crafty had some very interesting ones that she played on Hoppy's cell phone.
