Quirky Relatable Teens

We Saved the Rat

As we ran down the alley we started to see one big figure cornering a small figure. It was so cliche that I almost turned around. However, seeing as I am a good person by some standard I left went ahead and did what any sensible person does. Chuck a pineapple in their goddamn face.

"What the hell?" I hear both the thug and the... dog bear thing?

'Shit its Nezu the one thing we didn't need right now.' That's all I could think about as I was whacking the thug with my pineapple as Emily finally caught up.

"Emily! Cone him!" I could hear the confusion from everybody but thankfully Emily knew what I meant. She then brought out her cone in all of its glory and put one on the thug head then his hands. Honestly the thug was too confused to fight back.

"Yo rat thing you good?" I asked Nezu maybe if I was rude then he wouldn't want to ask questions and then me and Emily could leave him behind.

"Oh no I am perfectly fine thank you for asking. I must say that this was rather unexpected. Plus those are some interesting quirks you have." Nezu stood up and looked over the thug poking at the cone Emily made and my pineapple I beat him with.

"Well you're welcome now if you'll excuse us we want to leave before the cops show up." Emily and I started to walk away towards the other end of the alley. Hopefully Nezu will leave it at that and then we could start figuring out what the hell we are supposed to do now.

"Wait can I get your names? I want to at least know the people you saved me names?" Nezu finally looked away from the thugs and started at us with the beady eyes of his.

"I'm Emily and this is Mia." My eyes quickly shot towards Emily when she answered him. I then grabbed her hand to quickened our pace to avoid any more questions.

"Can I at least reward you in some way?" I tried to ignore Nezu's words and get the hell outta dodge but Emily had a different idea as she planted her feet and looked back at Nezu.

"Yes you can actually if you could give us like money for lunch that would be great."

"The hell? No!We don't need shit Emily." I tried to tug Emily along without ripping her arms out of her socket but seeing as she is a tiny human it was very hard.

"The fuck you mean 'we dont need shit' Mia. Last time I checked we closely we have two pennies to our names and I would like to eat something." I tried to tell her that it was a bad idea with my gaze but seeing how she didn't give a shit my gaze went unnoticed.

"O of course I can it is the least I could do for your help." Nezu reached for his wallet and pulled out the Japanese equivalent of 40 dollars. Emily walked back toward him and grabbed the money and we both tried to walk out of the alley for the third goddamn time. Then little furry man decided that he wanted to ask some more questions.

" Why didn't your parents give you an allowance at all." I can tell Nezu was judging us from his beady little stare like we actually robbed him or something.

"We don't have parents." The little shit had the decency to look guilty at least. Now let's try and leave the alley for a fourth time.

" Well I'm sorry to hear that you must be close to your guardian then?"

'Fuck me. What is this 20 questions or something. O well it's not like we are going to answer this time. '

"We are homeless with no one."

"Emily do you plan on spilling our lives out to someone we just met?" You know I was so done with her I swear if she knew the Krabby patty formula she would spill to Plankton if he asked.

" He asked, I answered Im not rude like you." I was feeling a wide variety of emotions from shock to anger now I'm just done with this I just want to use the money that we got a buy something.

"Well how about I change that?"

"Huh" at least me Emily agreed on something.
