Card 08: The Hamster and the Briefcase (Invader Zim)
It was very early in the morning at the Kaiba Mansion and therefore it was also very early in the morning in the rest of Domino city. Seto Kaiba and his little brother Mokuba Kaiba, were eating breakfast and having a normal Kaiba brothers morning, except for one little detail. "Mokuba get your hamster out of the cereal box!" That little detail was Dacca, a cute but strange hamster Mokuba saw in the window of a pet shop as he and Seto drove by the day before. Mokuba would not stop asking for it until Seto bought it. Mokuba named the little hamster Dacca and claimed that he liked her because she reminded him of Seto. Of course Seto could not understand how that little pest was like him at all.
All day after they got home, Mokuba had carried Dacca around outside her cage no matter how much Seto told him to put her in, but Mokuba insisted that Dacca wanted to ride in his shoulder. When dinner time came, Mokuba threw a tantrum until Seto let him feed Dacca at the dinner table. When night came, Mokuba was going to let Dacca sleep in his bed but Seto warned him of the danger of squishing the little hamster in his sleep so Mokuba, for the first time, actually agreed to put her in her cage. So this brings us to our current situation with Seto and Mokuba eating breakfast and Dacca inside the cereal box.
"Mokuba, I mean it, get it out of there!" Seto sounded more impatient this time.
"Her name is Dacca," Mokuba wasn't even reaching for the cereal box.
"Get that hamster out of the cereal box now!" Seto tried to sound firm and not let Mokuba's kitten stare make him lose his tone.
"Her name is Dacca! You don't call me that human, so don't call her that hamster!" This time however, after protesting on behalf of Dacca's constitutional right to be referred to by her name, Mokuba finally got her out of the cereal box and proceeded to play with her by throwing Oreo O's at her and she would jump and eat them.
"That's enough!" Seto picked up the little ball of brown fur that was Dacca and placed her on the floor.
Within half a second of this action Mokuba started crying loudly. "How come you let Blue Eyes White Cat eat at the table and not Dacca!?"
In Seto's mind, you could not compare his precious cat to a hamster. Blue Eyes White Cat, she could very well be the cutest cat in the world. As the name suggests she is white with blue eyes. Giving up on the hamster annoyance, Seto was about to pick her up and place her on the table once again to make Mokuba stop crying, but he noticed she was not where he put her on the floor.
While Mokuba kept complaining, Seto searched for Dacca under the large table. Mokuba noticed and went under the table also. "What game are you playing big brother? Can Dacca and I play? Where is Dacca?" Again Mokuba was giving him the kitten eyes.
Seto took a deep breath and answered his question. "I lost her" There was a moment of silence while the younger Kaiba let this information sink in and then the volcano erupted. Mokuba cried loud enough for Seto to get an instant headache and he also felt guilty for losing the little pest, but she couldn't have gone far. After assuring Mokuba that she would turn up soon, Seto went to get his briefcase, which was left opened in the living room, and left for work.
Last night, to celebrate Dacca joining the Kaiba family, Mokuba suggested that they watch a movie. So the four Kaibas, two humans, a cat and a hamster, watched an old science fiction movie called Attack of the Alien Briefcase of Doom. Mokuba fell sleep before the so called main villain of the so called horror movie, a briefcase with teeth, attacked. Apparently, the Alien Briefcase of Doom became stronger with each paper it consumed. It would tare the papers into tiny peaces when placed into it, causing important documents to be lost and sending the world into chaos.
