Cat N' Mau5

Chapter 3: The End?

The audience feedback was off the charts. DeadMau5 was prancing around like a loon, and screeching excitement threatened to pop my vital ear organs.

I stared gloomily at the half rubric cube control panel. I had lost my chance to become the youngest robot sparring champion. I would have said blown, but it wasn't my fault it stopped working.

Come to think of it, who's fault was it exactly?

***

Meowington sat in front of the victorious robot. His body glowed, and he stared, stared at the giant unmoving mass of metal that was his natural prey.

Once again his brain didn't fail him.

Once again, he had an idea.

***

I rested my elbows dejectedly on the control panel. Why was it so unfair?! Couldn't they have a rematch?!

A creaking noise jerked him out of his own little self-pitying world and into reality.

The reality being, DeadMau5's giant robot, which just so happened to glowing and eerie cyan colour, was falling at a constant speed.

Directly onto the dome.

***

Meowington cackled like the estranged creature he is from his spot atop the mouse. Being the agile cat he is, it was perfectly safe for him to be sitting where he was, as he could jump off with plenty of time to spare and not scratch a single metal plate.

***

I whipped off my glasses. The bright lights flooded my irises, but at this point in time I couldn't care less.

This giant metal beast was going to crush us all.

I cussed.

The celebrating stopped as the rest of the crowd, and then effectively DeadMau5 himself, noticed the similar fate they were facing.

Memories came flooding back. Guilt of promises which would now be left unmade, and a despair of the opportunities in life I would miss out on because if this tragic event.

In particular, a few weeks back with my fam and the gang.

"Gee..." Calls a sweet, soft, melodic voice.

"Wakey wakey..." It calls again.

I smile and mumble contentedly in my sleep.

I can almost hear the voice frown.

"Gerard!" It snapped, and I was instantly awoken from my slumber.

"Whozit whatzit?!" I yelp confusedly. My vision comes into focus, and before me I see my 'lovely' brother, Mikey.

Aforementioned rolls his eyes. "It's me. I just thought you'd like some coffee."

What a lovely surprise. Well, not the being waken up before my time part.

"Yes please!" I smiled lovingly at my brother. Other families would be jealous of the love we share.

"Good, then you can make it yourself. I already had three cups worth this morning, and I'm going out to pick up a few stuff." He grinned mischievously.

My loving smile was replaced by that of a growling reptilian creature. "You little brat!" I exclaimed.

Giggling, he jumped away from my bed and did a weird little skip/hop/jump/dance thing out the door.

Moaning, I dragged myself away from my comfortable pillow and basically rolled out of bed, plonking myself directly in front of it and doing a weird little blink/yawn/burp/stretch combination.
