"Buddy, please protect me... I'm scared.. I'm scared that.. That daddy wouldn't make it.." Lizzie cried. Just then..
"Lizzie? Buddy?" Joel asked as he came in the room.
"Oh Joel!" Lizzie said as she hugged Joel.
Joel had a bandage on his head.
"What was wrong? Is anything okay?" Lizzie asked worriedly.
"I was just too tired I guess," Joel said.
"Oh! Well get some rest. I'm going over to the pet shop," Lizzie said.
"You're not getting another cat, are you?" Joel asked.
"No, I'm getting a bear!" Lizzie said jokingly.
"Liz," Joel said playfully.
"Well I'm just getting some supplies for Buddy. A proper cat bed to start with, and we'll go from there," Lizzie said as she grabbed her purse. Not long after, she left.
"Hey Buds, can I tell you a secret?" Joel asked Buddy.
"Well," he took off the bandage on his head. "I wasn't actually sick! I told the paramedics everything and they agreed. Guess what I mean by 'everything', Buddy."
Buddy quickly jumped into Joel's lap, as if he understood.
"Look," Joel said as he took out a diamond ring from his pocket. "I'm proposing."
He then took out a toy wind up drum from his shirt pocket. Bam bam bam bam bam. That's what caused the excessive heartbeat.
He then also took out chili peppers. He bit a little and that's what made him start to sweat crazily.
But, what about the brain part? That he didn't know. He felt like it was a great start for a suspensing mystery.
"Joeeellipop I'm home!" Lizzie said as she walked in. "And I see you're with Buddy!"
Joel's hands were sweaty and he was holding the ring behind his back. Okay Joel, time to do it.
"Hey Liz, wanna go to the park?" Joel asked nervously.
"Of course!" Lizzie said. "Lets take Buddy."
"Sure!" Joel said. He winked at Buddy and they all left.
