"Tell me," Appolyon breathes in," What's this for?"

"For your anger problem." I state.

"But how is a chicken going to help me?" He growls staring the feathery beast in the eye.

"Since you don't know how to healthily care for a person, you're gonna start with a chicken,"  I say crossing my arms," be careful, he's a pooper."

"This is ridiculous." He sighs running his hands over his face.

"Your attitude is ridiculous."

"Don't," he growls," start with me."

"Can't," I say walking away," you're too occupied caring for a chicken." And with that I leave the room.

"What is it you wish to do Master Snout?" The servant asks running beside me.

"Just call me Snout," I say pausing for a moment," is there a pond near by?"

The servant nods his head

***

We get to the pond with a guard beside me.

"Turn away." I command. I wait until he's turned around to start undressing and hop in. Oh god it feels just like home~

Changing into my dragon form I swim around catching little fishies that swim by. Resurfacing I throw all of the fish I caught into a small pile by the guard's feet.

"RAAAAHHHH," I hear a voice yell knowing damn well who it is," FUCKING CHICKEN SHITTTT!"

"Master Snout," the guard says," shall I retrieve a bucket for you?"

"Yes please." And I pop my head back under the water.

***

"So," I say plopping into the dining chair," how was caring for the chicken?"

"Good." He says digging into his meal.

"Hm," I sniff," is that chicken?"

"Yea."

Silence.

"Appolyon... where's the chicken." I ask.

"On the table."

"Don't tell me you cooked the fucking chicken." I growl.

"I cooked the damn chicken, so what." He says throwing his hands in the air.

"Are you serious?! You couldn't care for a single freakin' chicken?!"

"I did," he says," I plumped him up and now he's on the table."

"Okay," I say getting up," I give up."

"Come on," he groans," I'm trying!"

"Trying to get on my nerves!" I snap. Appolyon pinches the bridge of his nose and stands up.

"Can we have a different approach." He says.

"I'm not getting a dog."

"Not a goddam dog," He growls," how about with you?"

"Yea right like I'm gonna let that happen, again." I snap rolling my eyes.

"A chicken doesn't talk but you do," He says coming up behind me," you can voice your opinions."

"Last time I did you did stuff with me." I glare.

"I'll try to listen this time." He says staring me in the eye.

Silence

"...sighhh okay but I swear to god if you don't I'll rub my body in garlic and you can't be near me."

"that's a myth you know." He states. I ignore him and continue on.

"Lets start with not being so demanding."

"Yea no can do," but he stops at my glare," I mean I could...try."

"Good."

He takes a deep breathe. Yea this is gonna be a hard challenge for him but if he wants to make things work he's gotta listen.

"Well I have a meeting to attend to," He says heading for the door," whatever you do don't come out of our room, you hear?"

"Bleh bleh bleh don't come out of our room," I mock," Yea whatever."

He glares at me before exiting the room. A servant comes in leading back to the master bedroom, but before he leaves I grab his attention.

"What's that box black slab on the wall?" I ask.

"That's a television Master Snout," he answers," would you like for me to turn it on?"

"Turn on?" I question as he picks up this box with buttons. I watch in awe as the slab comes to life with many moving images.

"This," The servant says giving me the black box," is a remote. It controls the television."

"What's Nickel of the Dean?"

"It's Nickelodeon Master Snout," The servant answers," it's home of the cartoons."

"Cartoons.." I trail off, being memorized by the colorful sticks moving.

"Would you like me to bring you snacks?" The servant bows. I nod my head with my mouth hanging open, too caught up in this television. After he leaves I get up into the bed curling into the covers like a cocoon. The servant returns with small pieces of fish setting them beside me along with this fizzling brown water.

"What's that?" I ask.

"It's soda," he replies," you've never heard of it?"

"No.." I trail. He bows his head and leaves the room.
My god this is the life...

Seconds turn into minutes and minutes turn into hours. My eyes still glued to the screen, stomach full of fish, and body craved up with soda. I felt like I was about to bounce all over the place with how much energy that piped me up. The sun has gone down long ago but to me it felt like the day was just getting started.

"Poof!" Wonda and Timmy yells. I transform into my dragon form bouncing on the bed puffing out balls of smoke. Poof Poof Poof!!!

"What's going on here?" Appolyons says coming in, his face long. I transform back into my human form sitting on the bed.

"Looks like you've had a rough day," I pant from jumping around," Here! Try some sodaaaa~"

"I'd rather not." He says sitting on the bed. I continue bouncing on the bed behind him like a kid.

"Why haven't I been shown this before," I say pointing to the TV," it's amazing!"

"You didn't know what a TV was?" He asks.

"No, I lived in a poor village." I answer. He starts removing his shoes and slides into the bed.

"If I have to follow what you say," he says scooting closer," I should be able to do mate stuff."

"I don't want you doing any stuff with me," I growl scooting away," I still don't forgive you for what you did."

"Okay okay I won't try to go that far," He says rolling his eyes," I just wanna experiment with this...feelings."

"If it starts heading there I won't hesitate to blaze your face." I glare.

"Deal." He says dragging me over spooning me.

"Didn't have to drag me you know."

"Yea but knowing you, you wouldn't move, so."

"Asshole." I growl setting a pillow between us. Extra precaution y'know.
