Castle Bleck Craziness

A Jurassic Pet

One Void Day, Count Bleck walked into the kitchen wearing a white bathrobe with a blue hem. He sat at the table and pulled the newspaper and a cup of coffee out of his robe. Settling down to read, he was just about to take a sip from the cup when...

Dimentio appeared before him!! "Hello, Count, I just conjured up a great new pet for the Bleck family! Why don't you come and see??" he asked.

"Count Bleck groaned, for he did not have a very good feeling about this," said Count Bleck.

They went outside, where everybody else was already standing on the black grass. They were all staring in awe and fear at the huge pet that Dimentio had conjured – a T-Rex.

"Dimentio? This pet might be a little much for us to handle, you understand," Nastasia explained quietly.

"Not a problem, my little Nastasia!! This T-Rex is very friendly. I think." Dimentio replied with his usual smile.

"Uh, 'my little'?" questioned Nastasia. "Take a time-out for that weird comment!!"

"I'll see him inside, sighed Count Bleck," Count Bleck sighed.

The people were left to stare at the T-Rex. It had been standing in the yard, sniffing stuff while they were talking.

"It's pretty magnificent," said Mimi. "Why don't we name it...MARY?!"

"MIMI!!" Nastasia said, bonking Mimi. "No one names their T-Rex Mary!!"

"Then how about something similar to Void, like Hole or Vacuum?" Mr. L suggested.

"I think Hole is a dumb name. And Vacuum sounds weird," said Mimi.

"How about BH for Black Hole??" tried Mr. L.

"There's a lot of squares in the Void. We could name her Square! Or maybe Purple??"

"Purp for short!!" added O'Chunks.

"That sounds rather juvenile," commented Nastasia. "But since you guys ARE juvenile, I guess I could let it slide."

"YAY! Thanks, Nastasia!!" Mimi shouted.

"HEY!! I'm in my twenties!! I'm not juvenile!!" Mr. L yelled. But nobody really listened.

Mimi went up to Purp to try and make friends. Everyone else watched as if she was going to her doom.

Mimi started by poking Purp in the foot. It was such a big foot (get it?) that the poke didn't alert Purp at all. Just as she gave up and walked away, she felt a gust of air behind her and a looming shadow fell over her. She looked up at the people on the lawn, who were hugging each other.

"WHY ARE YOU HUGGING EACH OTHER?!?" she yelled.

In response, they all pointed. Mimi turned around and saw Purp's eye five inches from her face. It was so shiny that she could see her reflection in it.

"Um...hi Purp," she squeaked. Then she took off running and screaming at ridiculously high decibels, heading straight for the other people. Purp responded by giving chase and practically blowing her away with a huge roar.

The people on the lawn waved their hands and shouted, "STOP!! THAT'S A VERY BAD IDEA!!" but Mimi kept on running.

"SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!!" she screamed. While looking over her shoulder, she accidentally bowled into everyone else, and soon there was a pile of tangled limbs on the ground.

"Mr. L!! Get your foot off my head!" yelled Nastasia.

"O'Chunks!! Let go of my bandana!" shouted Mr. L.
