Unexpected Love

Devastation

Bucky stood in pure horror, staring at the ferret Delilah that had just claimed she was his secret admirer.

"You can't be!" Bucky cried. "How'd you know it'd take me two weeks to heal?!"

"I met Atari and she told me." Delilah explained. "I knew you wouldn't love me."

"You're not into me!" Bucky snarled, "Fungo set this up, didn't he?! He set me up to RUIN ME AND MY REPUTATION!"

"No, he didn't." Delilah cried, her eyes welling up with tears, "I don't even know why I bother to pursue you, Fungo's right, this was a hopeless attempt."

"Yeah, go before I beat the life out of you, maggot." Bucky growled, unsheathing his claws.

Delilah padded away, her tail treading the floor.

Bucky then fell and gave a loud cry of agony, he fell against the Hilbert's door and cried for hours till he felt Atari's paw pressing his shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me this?!" Bucky wailed. "You traitor!"

"You never asked, I never told." Atari meowed casually. "Let's go before I decide to punish you for breaking her heart."

"Ferrets don't have hearts!" Bucky scoffed in the midst of his crying. "They torture and deceive! That's ALL they do!"

"No, they don't." Atari growled, baring her fangs. "They're just like any other animal, now get up."

Bucky lifted himself upward and walked beside Atari. He was cynical, sarcastic, witty, but he had made the huge mistake of bringing down that protective wall to see a girl, only to find out that girl was a filthy ferret pranking him.

Of course Fungo was up to this! HE'S GOING TO PAY!

Atari leaded Bucky inside, he was slightly surprised when he saw Rob and Donna shaking hands as Donna left. Apparently Rob had arrived early from his business trip. Atari jumped onto Rob's shoulder and whispered in his ear, Rob nodded with a frown.

Atari looked at Bucky with deep emerald eyes before walking away, shutting the door behind her.

Bucky squealed when Rob lifted him up by the tail. Rob turned Bucky to face him.

"Atari told me everything" Rob said sternly. "It was a ferret? And you broke her heart?"

"Yeah, serves her-OW!" Bucky screeched as Rob dropped him. Rob prodded Bucky towards his closet with his foot.

"Stay in the closet till you learn to give a crap about someone besides yourself." Rob said coldly before pushing Bucky into his closet and shutting the door.

Bucky laid in his bed, his eyes shone in the darkness.

I did give a crap 'bout someone else! And look what happened! I was TRICKED!

A long empty time passed by, Bucky took naps, woke up, licked himself, and repeated the cycle till Rob opened the door.

"You've been in here for 20 hours, you must be at least a little sorry for what you did!" Rob snapped.

"Nope" Bucky growled. "Go ahead. Keep me here till my bones rot. I'm NOT sorry."

"I'm letting you out." Rob hissed, "You can't starve, but you're going back in here as soon as you finished eating."

Bucky ate slowly, when he was licking up the last crumbs in his food dish, Satchel had came up to him.

"I can't believe you did that to Fungo's friend." Satchel murmured. "He told me how Delilah came a crying mess full of sorrow and bawling. Fungo's really ticked off you know, you should-"

Bucky swiped his claws across Satchel's nose and snarled. "I didn't ask for a therapist, flea-bag."

"OK, you're done." Rob roughly lifted Bucky up and placed him in his bed before closing the door.

Bucky cradled his Smacky before closing his eyes.
