The Mystery Circus

Chapter 4

I sat in the soft, dark blue living room chair, half-buried in the soft fluffiness, drinking hot chocolate and watching Saturday morning cartoons. This is the chair I called mine. When you sit in it, you sink in about 5 inches, and it is really furry, like a stuffed animal with really long fur. Everyone knew this was my chair, and they knew not to sit in it or else they would get a really long lecture, from the one and only me. I made people have to ask to sit in the chair. If I said no, it's a no. If I said yes, they can sit in it, but can't drink or eat anything while sitting in it.

Only I'm allowed to sit in it and eat and drink in it. That is because I'm careful. You know, because sometimes, there are those relatives that visit your house, and their pigs. Absolute pigs, who get crumbs everywhere or spill everything everywhere. That's my uncle, for you.

So here I am, sitting on my wonderful, soft, blue chair, drinking my delicious mint-flavored hot chocolate while watching cartoons.

Right now, I was watching 'We Bear Bears.' It may sound like an extremely stupid show, but trust me, it is extremely funny. Well, sometimes. For me, it's just really entertaining. The show is about 3 bears doing weird stuff and sometimes even causing a bunch of trouble.

"Why do you even watch this show? Isn't it for kids?" Adrian questioned, glancing over at me from his spot on the couch.

"Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. All I know is that it's 'Family friendly!' see the age ratings and the amazing reviews?!" I exclaimed dramatically, pointing to the TV.

Adrian pulled out his phone, typing something in. "Most of the reviews are parents saying that their child loves the show." he stated, reading from a website, which was probably Wikipedia or something like that.

I crossed my arms, turning back to my show with a pout. "It's still entertaining, you know." I stated.

"Whatever you think." he waved his hands in the air.

"You know what?" I questioned him.

"What?" he asked.

"You are a complete idiot." I retorted.

"Whatever you think." he repeated with a small, teasing grin on his face.

I chuckled, setting down my hot chocolate mug that I finished down on the end table beside me, and continued watching the show in silence. Eventually, the show ended.

I turned off the TV, and leaned back in the chair. I kept leaning back, to see how far back the chair could go.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Adrian stated.

"Why?" I asked, but then I tipped the chair too far back, and the whole chair tipped backwards, and fell back, and now I was laying on my back on the soft fluffy stuff with my feet in the air.

"That's why." he stated blankly.

"Oh." I answered him, giggling.

Luckily the lots of padding behind my head prevented my head from hitting the floor, so yay for that.

Still giggling, I rolled off the chair, and sat up. I stood up, and lifted the back of the chair and pushed it, so it wasn't tipped over anymore, but standing upright. I sat back down on it, once again sinking into the soft fluff of the chair.

"I'm bored." I complained.

"Watch that stupid 'We Bare Bears' show of yours that you so dearly love, then." Adrian suggested, chuckling slightly.

I flipped through the channels and checked the schedule until it came on again.

"Awe... It's not on again until 5:00 pm, later tonight!" I complained.

"Well then, play the waiting game where you sit quietly and either watch static on the TV, or watch another show until it's on again." Adrian snorted.

"But I don't have the patience for that...!" I whined.

"Then watch that other show you so dearly love, what was it called, Titans Go? The person with a 'R' on his chest said that a lot." Adrian spoke.

"Aha! Teen Titans Go!" I cheered. "I LOVE that show!"

"I thought you did." Adrian laughed.

I flipped the through the channels, until I came across the Teen Titans Go show and stopped flipping through the channels.

"I remember this one! This was about where Robin was teaching Starfire about lying." I exclaimed.

"Why doesn't she know what lying is? Wait, why the heck is that lady flying?!" Adrian questioned.

"She is an alien from a different planet. And when she says stuff, she says 'the' before it. Like in this episode, she calls it 'the lying' a lot." I explain.

"Yeah. And the other people?" Adrian questioned.

"The half robot half man is called Cyborg. He was made half-robot during an accident, which was during 'Justice League War' when aliens attacked, and he was injured. In order to save his life, his father, who was a scientist, performed an experiment on him, making him half robot." I stated.

"Okay, what is with the little green twerp? Why can he shape shift?" he questioned.

"His name is Beast Boy. His real name is Garfield Logan. He can shape shift." I nodded. "And Robin, the robin looking person you first questioned, he used to be Batman's sidekick."

"Ah. I see. I can't believe you find this weird show interesting." Adrian chuckled, and pulled out his book that I saw him reading the other day.

"By how much you have read that book, I'm surprised that you haven't actually finished reading it yet." I stated, beckoning to his book.

"Actually, I'm about 20 pages from the end. I started reading it yesterday." Adrian announced.

"Wow. I know I like reading, but not that much." I laughed. "You rarely ever put that thing down."

"Exactly." Adrian smirked.

As my show ended, I stood up. "I don't know about you, but I know that I'm really hungry. I'm going to make breakfast." I announced, walking into the kitchen.
