The Life Of Two

Chapter Two ~ May

May whistled happily and quietly, while rubbing her adoptive parent's dog, Fudge,'s head. Fudge stared at May curiously as she lined yarn from one edge of the door frame to another. She quickly stepped over it and tiptoed in the kitchen. She grabbed the three bottles of honey she had bought at the store when she had snuck out at her last family's house. She grabbed a bucket from under the sink and set it on the counter. Clink. "Shh!"

She shushed the bucket while giggling to herself about it. Flick! Flick! Flick! She flicked the honey bottle caps open. She quickly poured them in, laughing quietly at the sound they made, Glurg. Glurg. Glurg. Glurg. She carried the bucket in the living room and set it down on the table. She giggled. "Finally, I'll be out of this terrible place!"

She whispered. She ran out in the garage, rubbing her arms. "Brr! Chilly.."

She shivered and grabbed rope off the work table. While turning, May looked at the car. She grinned excitedly. She ran inside, grabbed the car keys and ran back out. She opened the car door and put the car keys in. Her adoptive parents had an electric car that could run out of battery. "Hehehe serves them right for grounding me!"

She giggled, tiptoeing back in with the rope. She tied the rope to the bucket and hung it from a nail over the door. She grinned. Making sure the string tied to the rope she stepped back. "May?"

Her adoptive mom called. SPLASH! May turned, gasping when she saw the honey had dumped all over Fudge. Her mother and father came running, gasping when they saw their dog covered. They glared at May. "Woopsie..."

May said, shrugging and smiling nervously.

2 hours later...

May groaned, finally scrubbing the last of the honey out of Fudge's fur. She smiled, sighing in relief. Fudge shook his fur and water sprayed all over May. She laughed, rubbing his head happily. She sighed, drying him off with towels and tiptoeing to the kitchen door. "Yes! Honey all over our poor baby! ..Of course I'm sure it was meant for us! Tomorrow, I want that...that...monster out of here!"

May heard the mother say. Well that's one way to get out of here..., she thought to herself. She tiptoed up the stairs and in her room. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. She sighed and sat on her bed, packing her clothes into her enormous backpack. May hugged Fudge. "I'll miss you buddy!"

She smiled when he licked her cheek. Then a thought popped in her head. "Hey buddy...you up for a trip?"
