Bob's Life: Global Warming

Chapter 13: SPAGHETTI MAGIC GONE WRONG!!! (POLICE CALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

"By the way, Min organized a Cat Cult meeting." Official Sushi Dictionary told Hussain. "Something about organizing roles for Cat Cult members."

"Don't we already have roles, though?" asked Moonfishy. "Unless Min wants to make new ones, which makes sense. But it doesn't make sense! Why do we need new roles? Or it's for the new members, but we don't need a whole meeting to do that! Unless..." she let out a small gasp. "Unless they're part of some crazy prophecy and they're gonna save us all from Mustard!"

"Who?" Official Sushi Dictionary, Hussain, and the new members exclaimed in unison.

"Uh, the person trying to destroy us all?" Moonfishy said matter-of-factly.

"That's Sunny." Matthew laughed. "Mustard was the one who almost killed us all back in the 19-somethings. I'm pretty sure there's just been a little mix-up."

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Moonfishy was the only one paranoid enough to even think about Mustard! And being as antisocial as she is, she completely forgot about telling everyone else, so she's the only person with her mind set on her 'Mustard taking over the world' theories. Even if she did tell someone other than Min, no one would've believed her, since it could easily be passed off as one of her crazy conspiracy theories.

And this, dear readers, is why Moonfishy's point of view is very unreliable. She often forgets about the outside world, so the narration often ignores the outside world as well.

Matthew shrugged, walking deeper into the cave. "Well, might as well let the lovebirds see how our meetings work." he said, winking at Joseph and Pierre. "Besides, Hussain has a lot to catch up on."

"My parents thought it was a smart idea to go to Niagara Falls for a vacation." Hussain grumbled. "During an apocalypse."

"They're fine though, right?" asked Official Sushi Dictionary.

"Yeah, they're in hiding. Behind the falls! It's like this old abandoned camp or something, but they should be done rebuilding it by now. Pretty cool, right?"

"And we can go visit them if Min lets us!" Official Sushi Dictionary chirped happily.

Joseph locked eyes with Moonfishy, with an expression that clearly says, 'How are they so optimistic?'

Honestly, she had no clue.

"Let's get going to the portal!" Matthew declared. "Min said that this meeting was important, and we really shouldn't be late."

"Portal?" Pierre asked, eyes shining with excitement. "A real magical one?"

"Yup!"

Travelling through the cave's tunnels, it wasn't long before they reached the portal, which was covered by undergrowth and a huge tree that didn't quite fit into the tunnel. In fact, it's roots stretched out to the other end of the portal and they were just as cared for as the tree, since it's used for their rituals.

Besides, one of Cat Cult's rules was to respect all living things. The tree couldn't be an exception.

"It's so pretty." Pierre stage-whispered. "Josie, do you think we could paint this?"

"We both know I can't paint, Pierre." said Joseph, with a hint of fondness in his voice that even Moonfishy couldn't miss. Official Sushi Dictionary restrained another one of Matthew's many outbursts of excitement.

Hussain cleared his throat, gesturing towards a noticeable gap in the tree's branches. "I'll go first, and get those rainbow badges."

He scampered up to the gap and pulled out his own badge. It didn't have any flag colours on it, just a little grey cat, but Min adjusted it so that the cat would be holding a wrench. Hussain had the unique role of being Cat Cult's mechanic, someone who they desperately needed. Especially now, since they needed more food weapons than ever.
